1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:01,960
Speaker 1: So tomorrow at one o'clock our time, as in one

2
00:00:02,000 --> 00:00:04,760
Speaker 1: pm our time, Donald Trump and Karmala Harris will square

3
00:00:04,760 --> 00:00:07,000
Speaker 1: off for the first time in a presidential debate. A

4
00:00:07,040 --> 00:00:09,559
Speaker 1: lot rides on this. These two are neck and neck

5
00:00:09,720 --> 00:00:12,280
Speaker 1: in the most recent poll. Dominic Carter is a US

6
00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:17,279
Speaker 1: political commentator and a former Senate debate moderator. Dominic Halo, Hi, Heather,

7
00:00:17,400 --> 00:00:19,840
Speaker 1: good evening to you. Yeah, Dominic, listen, I'm can get

8
00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:22,160
Speaker 1: you take on this. It feels to me like Carmela's

9
00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:24,360
Speaker 1: got to win more than Donald Trump has got to

10
00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:27,120
Speaker 1: win because we know less, we know her less. Well,

11
00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:29,320
Speaker 1: what do you think You hit it.

12
00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:32,480
Speaker 2: Right on the head, Heather, and your assessment is one

13
00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:36,879
Speaker 2: thousand accurate, believe it or not, Heather. This is the

14
00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:41,400
Speaker 2: first time that Trump and Harris will come face to

15
00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:45,120
Speaker 2: face in terms of the first time they're going to

16
00:00:45,159 --> 00:00:47,680
Speaker 2: meet each other, and she has a lot more at

17
00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:52,360
Speaker 2: stake based on recent polling, a couple of polling that

18
00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:55,760
Speaker 2: indicates that it's still neck and neck, but Trump is

19
00:00:55,920 --> 00:01:00,640
Speaker 2: slightly ahead. And so what I'm expecting to see is Trump.

20
00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:04,800
Speaker 2: He's done this many times, Heather, presidential debates. It's the

21
00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:08,440
Speaker 2: first time for Kamala Harris, the vice president at the

22
00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:12,800
Speaker 2: top of the ticket. And my immediate assessment, Heather is

23
00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:15,759
Speaker 2: Trump is going to know when to strike and when

24
00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:20,520
Speaker 2: to potentially let his opponent inflict damage on herself. And

25
00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:23,080
Speaker 2: so we're going to see it's the ninety minute debate,

26
00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:26,679
Speaker 2: a lot at stake, the presidency on the line, and

27
00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:28,839
Speaker 2: we're going to see what the candidates have to offer.

28
00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:31,360
Speaker 1: I mean, do you think that he will be that

29
00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:33,880
Speaker 1: considered because he sort of strikes me as somebody who

30
00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:37,720
Speaker 1: just turns up and licks rip. What do you think, well,

31
00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:38,280
Speaker 1: he does.

32
00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:45,520
Speaker 2: He's known as an unconventional American politician, some would say

33
00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:50,520
Speaker 2: in some circles, not disciplined. But the same things that

34
00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:54,760
Speaker 2: could be perceived Heather is a negative is what makes

35
00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:58,160
Speaker 2: it a positive in this case for Trump. And so

36
00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:03,760
Speaker 2: he's going to try, obviously not to lose his school.

37
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:07,720
Speaker 2: He cannot lose his school under any circumstance. He can't

38
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:11,000
Speaker 2: be seen that is mister Trump is coming on too

39
00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:16,000
Speaker 2: strong against a woman candidate. But he's going to basically

40
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:21,280
Speaker 2: let Kamala Harris state her policies because he believes that

41
00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:24,720
Speaker 2: there's not much substance there and that she's flip flopped

42
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:26,800
Speaker 2: on different issues all over the place.

43
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:30,240
Speaker 1: Yeah. I note actually that just recently she's posted what

44
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:33,520
Speaker 1: like almost fifty different policy positions on the website to

45
00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:34,560
Speaker 1: kind of get ahead of that.

46
00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:39,120
Speaker 2: Ah, yes, exactly, Heather. I see you're paying close attention

47
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:42,519
Speaker 2: to the election, and that's a wonderful thing. So the

48
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:45,280
Speaker 2: big issue, let me just give you one example. So

49
00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:48,800
Speaker 2: she will probably try to hit Trump hard on abortion.

50
00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:52,280
Speaker 2: She feels that he's vulnerable on the issue of abortion.

51
00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:56,000
Speaker 2: But Trump's gonna try and hit her on fracking. So

52
00:02:56,200 --> 00:03:00,320
Speaker 2: she was adamantly against fracking as a US Senator, but

53
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:05,120
Speaker 2: then her position changed because she needs Pennsylvania, the state

54
00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:09,639
Speaker 2: of Pennsylvania, to win the election, and fracking is hugely

55
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:14,320
Speaker 2: popular in Pennsylvania. So Trump's gonna hit hard. And we're

56
00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:17,440
Speaker 2: going to see who's ready for prime time and just

57
00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:19,160
Speaker 2: a matter of hours.

58
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:20,280
Speaker 1: I'm looking forward to Dominica. U.

59
00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:25,079
Speaker 2: Yes, I am. I think that the presidency is on

60
00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:29,800
Speaker 2: the line. I give the strong advantage, Heather to Trump.

61
00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:35,200
Speaker 2: And the reason why is can Vice President Kamala Harris

62
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:39,200
Speaker 2: stay the course for ninety minutes? What she's been critified,

63
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:42,280
Speaker 2: criticized for a lot here in America is that she's

64
00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:46,200
Speaker 2: been on a teleprompter at all of her events, and

65
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:49,600
Speaker 2: so we're going to see if she can stay on

66
00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:53,240
Speaker 2: the stage with Trump and state the policy, and we're

67
00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:56,040
Speaker 2: going to see which candidate is going to win. A

68
00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:57,480
Speaker 2: lot is on the line.
