This interview was scheduled to start at 7:00 a.m., it still hasn't begun, and the Fox & Friends co-hosts are desperately vamping to fill the time.
Kilmeade is now complaining there isn't enough media reporting about tensions in the Biden camp - "You mean everyone agrees about all the messages???"
Now burning time with news briefs, things are going great!
And... commercial break!!
They’re back but have gone to a weekend host doing interviews in a North Carolina diner, where is the president?
Dining indoors, no one is swearing a mark, including the Fox host doing the interviews Image
Commercial again....

Did Trump think this interview was starting at 8 like usual? This is wild.
Back from commercial, STILL no president, viewers are sitting in their homes shouting "I WANNA SEE DAN BON-GI-NO!" Image
Is there no one at the White House or Trump campaign who is watching this and can get the president to call in, this is wild stuff.
President Trump was supposed to be on Fox & Friends at 7:00 a.m. for his last interview of the election.

It is 7:40 a.m.. He's nowhere to be found. Image
Doocy just said the president would be calling in in 90 seconds, so only 45 minutes late.
Nice for so many reporters to get a taste of how godawful this show is.
No explanation from Trump about why he is so late for the interview.

Fox & Friends using diner interviews to suggest a hidden Trump wave that will defy the polls.
"If we are to believe the polls, President Trump is having some trouble with suburban women. What do you say to that?"

"If the media has not been honest to us in so many things -- except for Fox -- why would we believe this? I think it's gonna be a red tsunami."
Tucker's show last night stressing "Huge Enthusiasm For Trump Despite Conflicting Polls."

1. Claim that mail-in voting encourages voter fraud and election theft.
2. Discourage your supporters from voting by mail.
3. Ensure that mail-in ballots can't be counted before Wednesday morning.
4. Demand to know the results by Tuesday night.
Trump declaring victory prematurely isn’t *sufficient* to steal the election, but it is a *necessary precondition* to pull it off.
Maybe it won’t work, maybe Biden will win by such a large margin PA doesn’t matter, maybe the lawfare fails, but the fact that he’s saying this all out loud is itself raising tensions and increasing risk to a dangerous point.

Through their coverage -- and a White House meeting featuring Fox host Laura Ingraham and her doctor guests -- they convinced Trump it was a miracle cure: They convinced Trump it was a miracle cure: mediamatters.org/fox-news/how-f…
Trump frequently takes government action in response to what he sees on Fox; in this case, he molded federal policy around the effectiveness of the drug, building up huge federal stockpiles: mediamatters.org/donald-trump/1…
