1 00:00:04,835 --> 00:00:13,115 Speaker 1: Countdown with Keith Olderman is a production of iHeartRadio. 2 00:00:20,155 --> 00:00:21,835 Speaker 2: So who do. 3 00:00:21,875 --> 00:00:24,235 Speaker 1: They get to replace him? 4 00:00:24,555 --> 00:00:27,155 Speaker 2: Republicans? I believe Joe Biden is available. 5 00:00:27,875 --> 00:00:30,515 Speaker 1: There was sweat on Donald Trump's lip for the last 6 00:00:30,555 --> 00:00:32,875 Speaker 1: thirty minutes or so, on and off, and I think that, 7 00:00:32,955 --> 00:00:36,835 Speaker 1: if anything summarized this extraordinary evening, what might have been 8 00:00:36,955 --> 00:00:40,755 Speaker 1: certainly the liveliest presidential debate of all time, at least 9 00:00:40,795 --> 00:00:43,395 Speaker 1: at one end of it, because in addition to being 10 00:00:43,395 --> 00:00:46,555 Speaker 1: a presidential debate, this was also that Kamala Harris press 11 00:00:46,595 --> 00:00:50,395 Speaker 1: conference everybody has been asking about. She did most of 12 00:00:50,395 --> 00:00:54,995 Speaker 1: the substantial talking, despite being periodically interrupted by what sounded 13 00:00:55,035 --> 00:00:57,395 Speaker 1: like a drunken heckler who kept getting. 14 00:00:57,115 --> 00:00:59,115 Speaker 2: Owned and owned and owned. 15 00:00:58,795 --> 00:01:01,595 Speaker 1: Every time he stood up and said something ridiculous. I 16 00:01:01,635 --> 00:01:05,115 Speaker 1: will point out that, in addition to this being as 17 00:01:05,275 --> 00:01:10,035 Speaker 1: disastrous a debate for Donald Trump as the last time 18 00:01:10,075 --> 00:01:14,155 Speaker 1: we gathered was for Joe Biden, that Donald Trump's closing 19 00:01:14,275 --> 00:01:18,115 Speaker 1: argument boiled down to, in essence, his threat to destroy 20 00:01:18,115 --> 00:01:22,715 Speaker 1: America with Russian nuclear weapons. This did not go well 21 00:01:22,755 --> 00:01:27,035 Speaker 1: for Trump. Remember when I said on the podcast shortly 22 00:01:27,115 --> 00:01:29,635 Speaker 1: after the decision by Joe Biden to drop out to 23 00:01:29,675 --> 00:01:32,995 Speaker 1: accede to the wishes of democratic leadership and let Kamala 24 00:01:33,035 --> 00:01:37,355 Speaker 1: Harris be the nominee. That there might someday soon come 25 00:01:37,395 --> 00:01:39,795 Speaker 1: a day when we actually sit around and say, can 26 00:01:39,835 --> 00:01:42,835 Speaker 1: you believe we almost didn't swap out candidates in twenty 27 00:01:42,875 --> 00:01:46,835 Speaker 1: twenty four, we almost didn't run Kamala for president. Well, 28 00:01:47,075 --> 00:01:50,315 Speaker 1: we're certainly at that point right now. That was an 29 00:01:50,395 --> 00:01:54,635 Speaker 1: extraordinary moment from in fact, the seconds that they came 30 00:01:54,675 --> 00:01:58,075 Speaker 1: out onto the stage and the Vice president extended her 31 00:01:58,155 --> 00:02:01,155 Speaker 1: hand to Donald Trump for a handshake, and you could 32 00:02:01,155 --> 00:02:04,435 Speaker 1: tell he didn't even know what that meant the last time, 33 00:02:04,755 --> 00:02:08,715 Speaker 1: but he shook his hand in those circumstances. Was twenty sixteen. 34 00:02:08,955 --> 00:02:11,435 Speaker 1: Hillary Clinton did it once and would never do it again. 35 00:02:11,795 --> 00:02:15,355 Speaker 1: From the beginning, she was on offense, he was on defense. 36 00:02:15,515 --> 00:02:18,875 Speaker 1: In fact, after they took that first commercial break about 37 00:02:18,875 --> 00:02:22,395 Speaker 1: an agonizing one hour and three or four minutes into 38 00:02:22,475 --> 00:02:25,795 Speaker 1: the debate tonight, I was genuinely surprised that when they 39 00:02:25,835 --> 00:02:28,915 Speaker 1: came back from the commercial break, Donald Trump was still there. 40 00:02:29,595 --> 00:02:35,395 Speaker 1: When your go to character references are Victor Orbon and 41 00:02:35,475 --> 00:02:39,795 Speaker 1: Vladimir Putin, you're having a bad night. Because when she 42 00:02:40,115 --> 00:02:42,915 Speaker 1: was not making a fool of Trump. Trump was making 43 00:02:42,915 --> 00:02:47,155 Speaker 1: a fool of himself. The final rankings that I give 44 00:02:47,235 --> 00:02:49,475 Speaker 1: at the end of something like this are now complete. 45 00:02:49,835 --> 00:02:53,675 Speaker 1: Our number one was Kamala Harris finishing second. David Muir 46 00:02:53,715 --> 00:02:57,275 Speaker 1: of ABC News, Number three, Lindsay Davis of ABC News 47 00:02:57,675 --> 00:03:02,475 Speaker 1: for the Carfax Fox on the CNN commercials during those breaks. 48 00:03:02,755 --> 00:03:06,395 Speaker 1: Number five, Dogs and cats every Where. Number six the 49 00:03:06,475 --> 00:03:10,235 Speaker 1: ABC voiceover guy who said welcome back to the ABC debate. 50 00:03:10,875 --> 00:03:14,235 Speaker 1: Position seven through four, nine hundred and ninety nine, no 51 00:03:14,435 --> 00:03:17,675 Speaker 1: candidates rose to the standard described by the committee in 52 00:03:17,715 --> 00:03:22,155 Speaker 1: the applications, and the five thousandth ranked performer tonight was 53 00:03:22,195 --> 00:03:25,155 Speaker 1: Donald Trump. And if you think it's just me, and 54 00:03:25,235 --> 00:03:28,515 Speaker 1: perhaps I'm exaggerating somewhat because of my own personal beliefs 55 00:03:28,795 --> 00:03:32,715 Speaker 1: and my occasional reputation as a liberal or a Democrat 56 00:03:32,835 --> 00:03:37,395 Speaker 1: or a progressive. Rick Wilson, who was a conservative maestro 57 00:03:37,595 --> 00:03:41,555 Speaker 1: behind the scenes during the presidency and candidacies of George W. 58 00:03:41,675 --> 00:03:44,635 Speaker 1: Bush and particularly John McCain, with whom I have had 59 00:03:44,755 --> 00:03:48,715 Speaker 1: loud and public arguments, Rick Wilson tweeted forty three minutes 60 00:03:48,715 --> 00:03:52,595 Speaker 1: into that debacle. I've been in this business a long, long, 61 00:03:52,915 --> 00:03:59,195 Speaker 1: long time. Trump is being wrecked, destroyed. He's a bellowing 62 00:03:59,315 --> 00:04:03,355 Speaker 1: old man yelling at clouds. Mike Murphy, who was often 63 00:04:03,395 --> 00:04:06,155 Speaker 1: with Rick Wilson in these arguments that I had with 64 00:04:06,275 --> 00:04:11,355 Speaker 1: him during my network days, was a little blunder. He's 65 00:04:11,435 --> 00:04:17,395 Speaker 1: literally having his own Biden debate. The Republican strategist wrote, disaster, 66 00:04:18,595 --> 00:04:22,715 Speaker 1: he's giving tonight to her on the other side of 67 00:04:22,755 --> 00:04:26,835 Speaker 1: the ball. Alexandria Acasio Cortes, This I think will be 68 00:04:26,915 --> 00:04:27,515 Speaker 1: the imagery. 69 00:04:27,555 --> 00:04:29,275 Speaker 2: I've already used it. She did too. 70 00:04:29,795 --> 00:04:33,515 Speaker 1: He sounds like a guy yelling at random people on 71 00:04:33,635 --> 00:04:38,235 Speaker 1: thirty fourth Street with a karaoke speaker. I didn't think 72 00:04:38,275 --> 00:04:41,635 Speaker 1: he was quite that clear. And then again, if you're 73 00:04:41,675 --> 00:04:45,235 Speaker 1: wondering if the reaction to this is going to be uniform, 74 00:04:45,315 --> 00:04:48,275 Speaker 1: if at the end of a political debate, the result 75 00:04:48,315 --> 00:04:51,155 Speaker 1: of which does not depend on any kind of objective 76 00:04:51,235 --> 00:04:55,235 Speaker 1: scorekeeping or ballgame being played, or anything else that is 77 00:04:55,275 --> 00:05:00,515 Speaker 1: even remotely numerical numerically countable. If you wondering if there 78 00:05:00,515 --> 00:05:03,315 Speaker 1: could be a consensus that one candidate one and the 79 00:05:03,395 --> 00:05:08,115 Speaker 1: other one lost. Benny Johnson, who just this past week 80 00:05:08,195 --> 00:05:11,435 Speaker 1: was identified as one of the people who unknowingly was 81 00:05:11,475 --> 00:05:15,795 Speaker 1: receiving payments washed from Russia and the Kremlin through a 82 00:05:15,915 --> 00:05:20,795 Speaker 1: company associated with Glenn Beck's Blaze, and being paid hundreds 83 00:05:20,835 --> 00:05:23,275 Speaker 1: of thousands of dollars a month for online videos that 84 00:05:23,355 --> 00:05:28,195 Speaker 1: got ones of thousands of views a month. Bennie Johnson writes, 85 00:05:28,595 --> 00:05:32,355 Speaker 1: why do Republican agree to debates in this format? The 86 00:05:32,435 --> 00:05:37,155 Speaker 1: moderators are rigged. I don't think it could rig a moderator, 87 00:05:37,195 --> 00:05:39,595 Speaker 1: but we'll let it pass. The questions are rigged. The 88 00:05:39,675 --> 00:05:42,435 Speaker 1: TV executives are all friends with the Democrat on stage, 89 00:05:42,595 --> 00:05:45,315 Speaker 1: questions get leaked to them. It's all a trap desired 90 00:05:45,355 --> 00:05:49,035 Speaker 1: to destroy one side. GOP does not need corporate media. 91 00:05:49,795 --> 00:05:51,675 Speaker 1: I swear to God it wasn't my fault, and. 92 00:05:51,675 --> 00:05:54,195 Speaker 2: I added that last part. It's from the Blues Brothers. 93 00:05:54,555 --> 00:05:58,275 Speaker 1: The Associated Press, which has spent the entirety of the 94 00:05:58,315 --> 00:06:03,035 Speaker 1: Trump era trying not to say anything at all about 95 00:06:03,115 --> 00:06:06,355 Speaker 1: Trump in a negative fashion or a positive faction, although 96 00:06:06,355 --> 00:06:08,675 Speaker 1: they've been more successful at the front than at the back. 97 00:06:08,715 --> 00:06:14,435 Speaker 1: Of that combination, Harris maintains tone Trump's body language morphs 98 00:06:14,475 --> 00:06:17,235 Speaker 1: by Chris Majerian. With the debate more than half over, 99 00:06:17,315 --> 00:06:20,835 Speaker 1: Harris is maintaining the same even tone with which she started. 100 00:06:20,875 --> 00:06:24,715 Speaker 1: But Trump's body language has morphed. He's hunched over the lectern, 101 00:06:25,075 --> 00:06:28,195 Speaker 1: slashing his hand through the air to punctuate his statements. 102 00:06:28,475 --> 00:06:34,515 Speaker 1: Sometimes he raises his voice, Yes, I would say. Sometimes 103 00:06:34,555 --> 00:06:37,635 Speaker 1: he raised his voice and then he began to to 104 00:06:38,115 --> 00:06:41,035 Speaker 1: sweat from the lip, also from the ap. During the 105 00:06:41,115 --> 00:06:44,635 Speaker 1: last debate, the camera often caught Biden looking aimless while 106 00:06:44,675 --> 00:06:48,435 Speaker 1: Trump was speaking. Harris appears more prepared for the television format. 107 00:06:48,555 --> 00:06:52,555 Speaker 1: When Trump answers questions, she watches him intently. Sometimes she smiles, 108 00:06:52,635 --> 00:06:56,635 Speaker 1: shakes her head, or stares in puzzlement. Visually, she's increasing 109 00:06:56,675 --> 00:06:59,875 Speaker 1: the amount of time that she's conveying a message to viewers. 110 00:07:00,075 --> 00:07:02,995 Speaker 1: You're goddamn right there, associated press Chris Majerian. 111 00:07:03,315 --> 00:07:04,555 Speaker 2: That was the whole point. 112 00:07:04,755 --> 00:07:07,755 Speaker 1: We'll go through a checklist of things that were suggested 113 00:07:07,795 --> 00:07:11,235 Speaker 1: here by Tim O'Brien, a Trump baiter of some renowned 114 00:07:11,475 --> 00:07:15,075 Speaker 1: for Bloomberg, including this idea that she had to remember 115 00:07:15,275 --> 00:07:17,515 Speaker 1: that the split screen would be on her at all times. 116 00:07:17,555 --> 00:07:20,875 Speaker 1: I mentioned it. I believe in today's podcast. One of 117 00:07:20,915 --> 00:07:22,915 Speaker 1: the rules of being in television or in front of 118 00:07:22,955 --> 00:07:25,915 Speaker 1: camera in any live venue is that you should assume 119 00:07:26,155 --> 00:07:28,795 Speaker 1: it's always on. And even if you don't know that 120 00:07:28,835 --> 00:07:33,155 Speaker 1: you're on, somebody somewhere is watching your reaction. You must, 121 00:07:33,235 --> 00:07:36,035 Speaker 1: for whatever it takes, spend that hour and a half 122 00:07:36,235 --> 00:07:39,275 Speaker 1: looking at that camera and not putting this finger up 123 00:07:39,355 --> 00:07:44,755 Speaker 1: any orifice north of the chin. CNN Harris campaign sees 124 00:07:44,755 --> 00:07:48,115 Speaker 1: spike in donations from women. Excuse me during the first 125 00:07:48,115 --> 00:07:51,075 Speaker 1: hour of debate. Shouldn't have made the fates make my 126 00:07:51,275 --> 00:07:54,355 Speaker 1: nose hitch there, Aaron Pelish of CNN rights. In the 127 00:07:54,395 --> 00:07:57,315 Speaker 1: first hour of Tuesday's presidential debate, seventy one percent of 128 00:07:57,315 --> 00:08:00,715 Speaker 1: grassroots donors the vice president Kamala Harris's campaign where women. 129 00:08:00,915 --> 00:08:03,595 Speaker 1: A campaign official told CNN the first hour of the 130 00:08:03,595 --> 00:08:08,115 Speaker 1: debate featured heated extra changes, et cetera from Maggie Haberman 131 00:08:08,195 --> 00:08:10,915 Speaker 1: of The New York Times. I think we all need 132 00:08:10,915 --> 00:08:14,235 Speaker 1: to give Maggie a little space right now, Harris official says. 133 00:08:14,315 --> 00:08:18,035 Speaker 1: Yusef Salaam, one of the Central Park five, will be 134 00:08:18,075 --> 00:08:18,995 Speaker 1: in the spin. 135 00:08:18,795 --> 00:08:20,235 Speaker 2: Room after debate. 136 00:08:21,195 --> 00:08:25,395 Speaker 1: Oh, you may recall that when Kamala Harris brought that up. 137 00:08:25,435 --> 00:08:28,035 Speaker 1: And the key difference here is in the Joe Biden 138 00:08:28,075 --> 00:08:31,755 Speaker 1: performance in the first debate and Kamala Harris's performance in 139 00:08:31,795 --> 00:08:36,435 Speaker 1: this debate was that phrase when Kamala Harris brought it up. 140 00:08:36,675 --> 00:08:40,275 Speaker 1: Kamala Harris owned this debate stage. There are a lot 141 00:08:40,315 --> 00:08:42,395 Speaker 1: of good questions, and I want to devote some of 142 00:08:42,395 --> 00:08:46,155 Speaker 1: this conversation here to what Lindsay Davis and David Muir 143 00:08:46,275 --> 00:08:49,195 Speaker 1: did for ABC, which I wish could be xeroxed and 144 00:08:49,235 --> 00:08:53,035 Speaker 1: sent to every network. But she owned it. She brought 145 00:08:53,115 --> 00:08:55,635 Speaker 1: up the Central Park five. Everything that was not brought 146 00:08:55,715 --> 00:08:58,755 Speaker 1: up by the moderators, virtually everything she could have brought up, 147 00:08:59,995 --> 00:09:04,115 Speaker 1: she did, and provoked things like Donald Trump explaining that 148 00:09:05,355 --> 00:09:10,435 Speaker 1: this happened so long ago, along with his own fines 149 00:09:10,475 --> 00:09:12,635 Speaker 1: from the government that he had to negotiate because he 150 00:09:12,635 --> 00:09:15,075 Speaker 1: wouldn't rent to black people when he started in business 151 00:09:15,155 --> 00:09:17,755 Speaker 1: with his father when I was like a junior in 152 00:09:17,835 --> 00:09:22,555 Speaker 1: high school. I think the handshake was the thing that 153 00:09:22,635 --> 00:09:25,555 Speaker 1: unsettled him from the beginning. He was expecting to come 154 00:09:25,595 --> 00:09:29,235 Speaker 1: out and have something, something that resembled the debate against 155 00:09:29,355 --> 00:09:32,515 Speaker 1: Joe Biden this one or the ones in twenty twenty, 156 00:09:32,595 --> 00:09:35,595 Speaker 1: or even something that resembled the debates with Hillary Clinton. 157 00:09:35,995 --> 00:09:39,035 Speaker 1: Hillary Clinton is and would have been, I believe, an 158 00:09:39,075 --> 00:09:43,075 Speaker 1: excellent president. But she herself said she's a terrible job applicant. 159 00:09:43,195 --> 00:09:47,995 Speaker 1: She's a much better employee. She does not make that consuming, 160 00:09:48,275 --> 00:09:53,475 Speaker 1: controlling kind of presentation. She doesn't sell herself well in 161 00:09:53,555 --> 00:09:56,195 Speaker 1: that environment. So the debates that he's had up until 162 00:09:56,195 --> 00:10:00,755 Speaker 1: this point were not against the a one possible opponent. 163 00:10:01,195 --> 00:10:03,715 Speaker 1: What she did was what you would do if you 164 00:10:03,755 --> 00:10:07,235 Speaker 1: were a prosecutor in a courtroom. She came roaring out 165 00:10:07,235 --> 00:10:10,275 Speaker 1: of the gate. She brought up the opportunity economy. She 166 00:10:10,395 --> 00:10:13,915 Speaker 1: started by basically giving everybody six thousand dollars to help 167 00:10:13,955 --> 00:10:17,155 Speaker 1: raise their children, and every small business fifty thousand dollars. 168 00:10:17,435 --> 00:10:19,475 Speaker 1: And if you notice at the beginning of this, and 169 00:10:19,515 --> 00:10:21,755 Speaker 1: we will review the first few minutes and we can 170 00:10:21,835 --> 00:10:24,675 Speaker 1: start queuing that first set of clips up because I 171 00:10:24,715 --> 00:10:28,795 Speaker 1: want to go through this. The first three minutes of 172 00:10:28,795 --> 00:10:33,435 Speaker 1: this debate really told you what was going to happen thereafter. Again, 173 00:10:33,515 --> 00:10:36,555 Speaker 1: she's in charge of the whole thing. She defines him, 174 00:10:36,835 --> 00:10:41,075 Speaker 1: and he came out looking unconscious. So let's go back, 175 00:10:41,115 --> 00:10:43,195 Speaker 1: and I want to go through a bunch of clips 176 00:10:43,235 --> 00:10:45,355 Speaker 1: from this from the ABC debate. Let me do this 177 00:10:45,395 --> 00:10:48,315 Speaker 1: first one first. It's about three minutes long. And if 178 00:10:48,315 --> 00:10:50,635 Speaker 1: you do not listen to it. At least look at 179 00:10:50,675 --> 00:10:53,195 Speaker 1: Trump and look at the fact that it can barely 180 00:10:53,315 --> 00:10:54,675 Speaker 1: get his eyes open. 181 00:10:55,035 --> 00:10:56,155 Speaker 2: This was a bad start. 182 00:10:57,315 --> 00:10:59,475 Speaker 3: First of all, I have no sales tax. That's an 183 00:10:59,515 --> 00:11:02,835 Speaker 3: incorrect statement. She knows that we're doing tariffs so in 184 00:11:02,875 --> 00:11:06,435 Speaker 3: other countries. Other countries are going to find after seventy 185 00:11:06,435 --> 00:11:08,875 Speaker 3: five years, pay us back for all that we've done 186 00:11:08,875 --> 00:11:12,675 Speaker 3: for the world, and the tariff will be substantial. In 187 00:11:12,715 --> 00:11:15,355 Speaker 3: some cases. I took in billions and billions of dollars, 188 00:11:15,355 --> 00:11:17,795 Speaker 3: as you know, from China. In fact, they never took 189 00:11:17,795 --> 00:11:20,155 Speaker 3: the tariff off because there was so much money. They can't. 190 00:11:20,435 --> 00:11:23,395 Speaker 3: It would totally destroy everything that they've set out to do. 191 00:11:23,715 --> 00:11:24,515 Speaker 2: They're taken in. 192 00:11:24,435 --> 00:11:27,075 Speaker 3: Billions of dollars from China and other places. They've left 193 00:11:27,115 --> 00:11:29,635 Speaker 3: the tariffs on. When I had it, I had tariffs, 194 00:11:29,635 --> 00:11:33,315 Speaker 3: and yet I had no inflation. Look, we've had a 195 00:11:33,475 --> 00:11:36,715 Speaker 3: terrible economy because inflation has which is really known as 196 00:11:36,755 --> 00:11:40,115 Speaker 3: a country buster. It breaks up countries. We have inflation 197 00:11:40,395 --> 00:11:43,475 Speaker 3: like very few people have ever seen before, probably the 198 00:11:43,515 --> 00:11:47,195 Speaker 3: worst in our nation's history. We were at twenty one percent. 199 00:11:47,275 --> 00:11:49,995 Speaker 3: But that's being generous because many things are fifty sixty, 200 00:11:50,115 --> 00:11:52,675 Speaker 3: seventy and eighty percent higher than they were just a 201 00:11:52,675 --> 00:11:55,835 Speaker 3: few years ago. This has been a disaster for people, 202 00:11:55,875 --> 00:11:58,275 Speaker 3: for the middle class, but for every class. On top 203 00:11:58,355 --> 00:12:01,355 Speaker 3: of that, we have millions of people pouring into our 204 00:12:01,395 --> 00:12:05,435 Speaker 3: country from prisons and jails, from mental instant usians and 205 00:12:05,475 --> 00:12:09,675 Speaker 3: insane asylums, and they're coming in and they're taking jobs 206 00:12:09,675 --> 00:12:13,395 Speaker 3: that are occupied right now by African Americans and Hispanics, 207 00:12:13,795 --> 00:12:16,755 Speaker 3: and also unions. Unions are going to be affected very soon. 208 00:12:17,115 --> 00:12:19,195 Speaker 3: And you see what's happening. You see what's happening with 209 00:12:19,315 --> 00:12:22,915 Speaker 3: towns throughout the United States. You look at Springfield, Ohio, 210 00:12:23,195 --> 00:12:26,955 Speaker 3: you look at Aurora in Colorado. They are taking over 211 00:12:27,035 --> 00:12:30,275 Speaker 3: the towns, they're taking over buildings, they're going in violently. 212 00:12:30,635 --> 00:12:34,755 Speaker 3: These are the people that she and Biden led into 213 00:12:34,755 --> 00:12:38,875 Speaker 3: our country, and they're destroying our country. They're dangerous, They're 214 00:12:38,875 --> 00:12:41,915 Speaker 3: at the highest level of criminality, and we have to 215 00:12:41,915 --> 00:12:43,675 Speaker 3: get them out. We have to get them out fast. 216 00:12:43,955 --> 00:12:47,035 Speaker 3: I created one of the greatest economies in the history 217 00:12:47,075 --> 00:12:49,995 Speaker 3: of our country. I'll do it again and even better. 218 00:12:50,075 --> 00:12:52,315 Speaker 4: We are going to get to immigration and border security 219 00:12:52,395 --> 00:12:54,875 Speaker 4: during this debate. But I would like to let Vice 220 00:12:54,955 --> 00:12:57,115 Speaker 4: President Harris respond on the economy here. 221 00:12:57,155 --> 00:13:00,595 Speaker 5: Well, I would love to let's talk about what Donald 222 00:13:00,635 --> 00:13:05,915 Speaker 5: Trump left us. Donald Trump left us the world unemployment 223 00:13:06,035 --> 00:13:10,235 Speaker 5: since the Great Depression. Donald Trump left us the worst 224 00:13:10,395 --> 00:13:15,795 Speaker 5: public health epidemic in a century. Donald Trump left us 225 00:13:16,315 --> 00:13:21,115 Speaker 5: the worst attack on our democracy since the Civil War. 226 00:13:21,955 --> 00:13:25,275 Speaker 5: And what we have done is clean up Donald Trump's mess. 227 00:13:25,795 --> 00:13:28,075 Speaker 5: What we have done and what I intend to do 228 00:13:28,235 --> 00:13:30,955 Speaker 5: is build on what we know are the aspirations and 229 00:13:30,995 --> 00:13:32,755 Speaker 5: the hopes of the American people. But I'm going to 230 00:13:32,755 --> 00:13:35,035 Speaker 5: tell you all on this debate tonight, you're going to 231 00:13:35,115 --> 00:13:40,315 Speaker 5: hear from the same old tired playbook, a bunch of lies, grievances, 232 00:13:40,555 --> 00:13:44,155 Speaker 5: and name calling. What you're going to hear tonight is 233 00:13:44,195 --> 00:13:48,075 Speaker 5: a detailed and dangerous plan called Project twenty twenty five 234 00:13:48,235 --> 00:13:51,235 Speaker 5: that the former president intends on implementing if he were 235 00:13:51,315 --> 00:13:56,035 Speaker 5: elected to gain I believe very strongly that the American 236 00:13:56,035 --> 00:14:00,435 Speaker 5: people want a president who understands the importance of bringing 237 00:14:00,515 --> 00:14:02,675 Speaker 5: us together, knowing we have so much more in common 238 00:14:02,715 --> 00:14:06,275 Speaker 5: than what separates us, and to be a president for 239 00:14:06,355 --> 00:14:07,555 Speaker 5: all Americans. 240 00:14:08,195 --> 00:14:11,875 Speaker 1: To quote Mia Farrow from Rosemary's Baby, What's Wrong with 241 00:14:11,955 --> 00:14:15,315 Speaker 1: his Eyes? Did you see that and believe it or not? 242 00:14:15,435 --> 00:14:17,435 Speaker 1: What you saw there if you did not watch the 243 00:14:17,555 --> 00:14:21,195 Speaker 1: entirety of this debate, that was the Trump highlight. It 244 00:14:21,235 --> 00:14:25,435 Speaker 1: went downhill from there because he began in that sort 245 00:14:25,475 --> 00:14:28,755 Speaker 1: of and forgive me President Biden, that kind of biden 246 00:14:28,915 --> 00:14:33,595 Speaker 1: esque trance. Let's use a positive term, like trance. That 247 00:14:33,715 --> 00:14:37,035 Speaker 1: sounds exciting, doesn't it. He's in a trance. That's what 248 00:14:37,115 --> 00:14:40,995 Speaker 1: it started as this. Did you know that we're already 249 00:14:41,075 --> 00:14:43,675 Speaker 1: on Did you notice that the debate had begun? 250 00:14:44,315 --> 00:14:44,995 Speaker 2: Mister Trump? 251 00:14:45,435 --> 00:14:50,275 Speaker 1: Then as she successfully angered him, baited him, decked him 252 00:14:50,275 --> 00:14:52,955 Speaker 1: a couple of times, metaphorically put him on defense on 253 00:14:53,075 --> 00:14:54,755 Speaker 1: every one of the topics that she brought up in 254 00:14:54,755 --> 00:14:58,755 Speaker 1: those opening remarks. Then he became angry Trump as the 255 00:14:58,755 --> 00:15:01,315 Speaker 1: one who lost the debate to Biden in the first 256 00:15:01,315 --> 00:15:04,515 Speaker 1: debate in twenty twenty. Then he became Trump trying to 257 00:15:04,675 --> 00:15:07,995 Speaker 1: look like Churchill. If you notice all the big photos 258 00:15:08,035 --> 00:15:10,875 Speaker 1: that he likes, those, all of his many mugshots. He's 259 00:15:10,915 --> 00:15:13,715 Speaker 1: doing this thing where he thinks, and he has said 260 00:15:13,875 --> 00:15:17,395 Speaker 1: he thinks he's accomplishing a look equivalent to that of 261 00:15:17,435 --> 00:15:20,675 Speaker 1: Winston Churchill, the British World War two Prime minister who 262 00:15:20,675 --> 00:15:25,235 Speaker 1: incidentally has been sullied recently by JD Vance's buddy Tucker 263 00:15:25,315 --> 00:15:28,155 Speaker 1: Carlson and a guest on Carlson Show who is now 264 00:15:28,195 --> 00:15:30,835 Speaker 1: saying that Winston Churchill was the cause of World War 265 00:15:30,875 --> 00:15:36,755 Speaker 1: Two rather than you know, dolf A Hitler, Hay And 266 00:15:36,795 --> 00:15:39,155 Speaker 1: that's going to cause another rift on top of everything else. 267 00:15:39,155 --> 00:15:41,555 Speaker 1: But we're getting away from the question of whether or 268 00:15:41,555 --> 00:15:44,115 Speaker 1: not Donald Trump is still the Republican nominee. In the morning, 269 00:15:44,955 --> 00:15:49,355 Speaker 1: the thing that happened after this was something that I 270 00:15:49,475 --> 00:15:55,635 Speaker 1: cheered for. The moderators fact checked Donald Trump. I made 271 00:15:55,675 --> 00:15:59,195 Speaker 1: some comments this morning on the podcast about if David 272 00:15:59,275 --> 00:16:00,795 Speaker 1: Muir wanted to be Edward R. 273 00:16:00,875 --> 00:16:02,075 Speaker 2: Murrow or Edward R. 274 00:16:02,195 --> 00:16:06,955 Speaker 1: Muro I said, sure, he's the lesser halt of Dana Bash's. 275 00:16:07,395 --> 00:16:11,115 Speaker 1: I apologize without reservation. And to Lindsay Davis, whose work 276 00:16:11,395 --> 00:16:13,995 Speaker 1: I did not really know. I had seen her before, 277 00:16:14,915 --> 00:16:18,235 Speaker 1: as I said earlier, make xeroxes of them and send 278 00:16:18,275 --> 00:16:22,395 Speaker 1: them to CNN and NBC and Fox News. 279 00:16:22,275 --> 00:16:24,115 Speaker 2: Like they'd know what to do with actual journalists. 280 00:16:24,115 --> 00:16:27,475 Speaker 1: But to every journalistic organization in the country, how to 281 00:16:27,635 --> 00:16:31,195 Speaker 1: do a debate when one of the candidates is actively 282 00:16:31,635 --> 00:16:35,115 Speaker 1: lying and depending on lies is to do what Lindsey 283 00:16:35,235 --> 00:16:38,875 Speaker 1: Davis did on the subject of the nine month abortions 284 00:16:38,915 --> 00:16:42,475 Speaker 1: to simply say, no, there are no such things in 285 00:16:42,515 --> 00:16:45,635 Speaker 1: any state. It is not legal in any state. Vice 286 00:16:45,675 --> 00:16:48,315 Speaker 1: President Harris, don't even give him a chance to come 287 00:16:48,355 --> 00:16:51,315 Speaker 1: back and challenge your fact check. A fact is that 288 00:16:51,395 --> 00:16:53,835 Speaker 1: it is immutable, and if you have it in front 289 00:16:53,835 --> 00:16:56,515 Speaker 1: of you, treat it that way. It is decisive. It 290 00:16:56,595 --> 00:16:59,915 Speaker 1: is a knockout. It is a stick against the guy's forehead. 291 00:17:00,075 --> 00:17:03,435 Speaker 1: And Trump got that stick across his forehead repeatedly, so 292 00:17:03,515 --> 00:17:07,595 Speaker 1: a standing ovation for Muir and Lindsay Davis. At one point, 293 00:17:07,955 --> 00:17:11,275 Speaker 1: David Muir in fact, not only asked Trump a tough 294 00:17:11,355 --> 00:17:14,715 Speaker 1: question about January sixth, but when he veered off into 295 00:17:15,195 --> 00:17:18,515 Speaker 1: the destruction of Seattle in Minneapolis, which at last I 296 00:17:18,595 --> 00:17:21,835 Speaker 1: heard were both still extant. When he veered off into that, 297 00:17:22,075 --> 00:17:23,715 Speaker 1: he let him finish, and then he said, but to 298 00:17:23,715 --> 00:17:25,355 Speaker 1: get back to January sixth. 299 00:17:25,475 --> 00:17:26,435 Speaker 2: It was marvelous. 300 00:17:26,475 --> 00:17:28,995 Speaker 1: It was what Jake Tapper and Dana Bash should have 301 00:17:29,075 --> 00:17:32,155 Speaker 1: done and did not do. That amplified the problems that 302 00:17:32,235 --> 00:17:34,475 Speaker 1: Joe Biden had in his last debate. 303 00:17:35,315 --> 00:17:37,395 Speaker 2: There was so many things that you could. 304 00:17:37,315 --> 00:17:41,155 Speaker 1: Analyze line by line this debate and what Trump did 305 00:17:41,155 --> 00:17:44,595 Speaker 1: to himself and what Kamala Harris did for herself. You 306 00:17:44,635 --> 00:17:47,235 Speaker 1: could probably take seven or eight hours and just do 307 00:17:47,515 --> 00:17:51,595 Speaker 1: a simple factual recitation, just as a simple factual recitation 308 00:17:51,795 --> 00:17:54,075 Speaker 1: of the problems for Joe Biden in the last debate 309 00:17:54,115 --> 00:17:56,675 Speaker 1: could have been made. But I wanted to skip ahead 310 00:17:56,795 --> 00:17:59,635 Speaker 1: before we go through the checklists and then some other comments, 311 00:18:00,115 --> 00:18:04,315 Speaker 1: other clips from the debate itself to the end. When 312 00:18:04,355 --> 00:18:08,315 Speaker 1: Press and again the moderators made sure they gave him 313 00:18:08,395 --> 00:18:12,475 Speaker 1: multiple chances to answer, not simply to filibuster. He would 314 00:18:12,515 --> 00:18:16,075 Speaker 1: not say he wants Ukraine to win. He would not 315 00:18:16,355 --> 00:18:20,715 Speaker 1: say that he needs to see Russia defeated. He could 316 00:18:20,995 --> 00:18:25,275 Speaker 1: not talk about anything in the dispute between the free 317 00:18:25,315 --> 00:18:28,995 Speaker 1: world and the dictatorial world of Vladimir Putin, and what 318 00:18:29,075 --> 00:18:32,635 Speaker 1: Putin's goals are for Europe and for the world, and 319 00:18:32,675 --> 00:18:37,035 Speaker 1: in its entirety, he could not process them either. He 320 00:18:37,115 --> 00:18:39,395 Speaker 1: wanted to avoid them. But I think much more likely 321 00:18:39,635 --> 00:18:43,595 Speaker 1: it simply doesn't compute with him. He immediately reverted to 322 00:18:43,715 --> 00:18:47,155 Speaker 1: how much money the United States has spent in defense 323 00:18:47,195 --> 00:18:49,995 Speaker 1: of Ukraine compared to how much Europe has spent. And 324 00:18:50,035 --> 00:18:53,275 Speaker 1: by the way, factually he's incorrect Europe has spent far 325 00:18:53,395 --> 00:18:57,035 Speaker 1: more defending Ukraine and sending aid to Ukraine and sending 326 00:18:57,155 --> 00:18:59,755 Speaker 1: materiel to Ukraine than the United States has. 327 00:18:59,955 --> 00:19:00,795 Speaker 2: We are not, in. 328 00:19:00,715 --> 00:19:04,475 Speaker 1: Fact being outspent by Europe on Ukraine. It's not just 329 00:19:04,675 --> 00:19:07,275 Speaker 1: about the money. And if it were, he was wrong 330 00:19:07,315 --> 00:19:09,715 Speaker 1: about that too. And then of course there was the 331 00:19:09,755 --> 00:19:14,315 Speaker 1: extraordinary gymnastics that he claimed Kamala Harris was capable of, 332 00:19:14,595 --> 00:19:18,555 Speaker 1: which was of simultaneously hating Israel and the Palestinians. 333 00:19:19,715 --> 00:19:20,795 Speaker 2: A series of. 334 00:19:20,715 --> 00:19:23,995 Speaker 1: Events before this debate led me to compose a bit 335 00:19:24,035 --> 00:19:25,795 Speaker 1: of a checklist, some of which I gave out on 336 00:19:25,835 --> 00:19:30,635 Speaker 1: the podcast yesterday morning. And it was really an examination 337 00:19:30,755 --> 00:19:32,955 Speaker 1: both of what Kamala Harris had to do and what 338 00:19:32,995 --> 00:19:35,875 Speaker 1: the moderators had to do, and less about what Trump 339 00:19:35,875 --> 00:19:38,155 Speaker 1: had to do, because as we know, Trump has the 340 00:19:38,355 --> 00:19:40,075 Speaker 1: benefit that none of the rest of us do in 341 00:19:40,115 --> 00:19:42,115 Speaker 1: those situations where you can just make it up as 342 00:19:42,155 --> 00:19:45,875 Speaker 1: he goes along. It's really good to have that asset 343 00:19:46,035 --> 00:19:47,955 Speaker 1: right there in your hand. When you don't have to 344 00:19:47,995 --> 00:19:52,995 Speaker 1: worry about being factually accurate, consistent, or anywhere in any way, 345 00:19:53,235 --> 00:19:57,875 Speaker 1: shape or form tethered to reality, you can tell wonderful stories. 346 00:19:58,355 --> 00:20:03,035 Speaker 1: Some of the greatest compositions of mankind are based on 347 00:20:03,075 --> 00:20:05,555 Speaker 1: the ability to make stuff up as you go along. 348 00:20:05,875 --> 00:20:09,035 Speaker 1: William Shakespeare was great at it. William Shakespeare was not 349 00:20:09,155 --> 00:20:12,355 Speaker 1: president of anything. Trump was seeks to be again, and 350 00:20:12,395 --> 00:20:14,755 Speaker 1: I think tonight he may have made it impossible for 351 00:20:14,835 --> 00:20:17,115 Speaker 1: him to be, at least I hope so. But this 352 00:20:17,315 --> 00:20:20,595 Speaker 1: checklist of the things that they needed to do, did 353 00:20:21,075 --> 00:20:23,875 Speaker 1: the moderators or Kamala Harris do the following? Did they 354 00:20:23,875 --> 00:20:28,115 Speaker 1: bring up January sixth, Yes, the moderators did. It was 355 00:20:28,195 --> 00:20:32,675 Speaker 1: turned into by Trump an immigration answer. Did they bring 356 00:20:32,795 --> 00:20:36,275 Speaker 1: up the threat to arrest political opponents? God bless him? 357 00:20:36,355 --> 00:20:39,395 Speaker 1: David Muir read the entirety of Trump's post on social 358 00:20:39,435 --> 00:20:43,475 Speaker 1: media in which he threatened to arrest political oppositions. Trump 359 00:20:43,635 --> 00:20:46,795 Speaker 1: hemmed and hawed and gave an answer that will not 360 00:20:47,195 --> 00:20:51,915 Speaker 1: gain him anything because he neither denied the violence of 361 00:20:52,075 --> 00:20:55,795 Speaker 1: what was behind his words in that post, nor did 362 00:20:55,835 --> 00:20:58,035 Speaker 1: he reaffirm it. So those who were in favor of 363 00:20:58,075 --> 00:21:01,475 Speaker 1: what he's proposing to do, the Mike Davises and the 364 00:21:01,475 --> 00:21:05,395 Speaker 1: Project twenty twenty five people like that, they were not 365 00:21:05,635 --> 00:21:09,355 Speaker 1: reinforced whatsoever. He basically sold them down the river and 366 00:21:09,515 --> 00:21:13,195 Speaker 1: tried to pivot to Harris being a danger to democracy 367 00:21:13,275 --> 00:21:17,395 Speaker 1: because because Joe Biden isn't the nominee, which of course 368 00:21:17,675 --> 00:21:21,995 Speaker 1: was the goal of the entirety of Trump's first impeachment 369 00:21:22,155 --> 00:21:24,115 Speaker 1: was to make sure Joe Biden wouldn't be the nominee. 370 00:21:24,155 --> 00:21:26,475 Speaker 2: He got his way, and now he's blaming everybody else 371 00:21:26,515 --> 00:21:26,755 Speaker 2: for it. 372 00:21:26,955 --> 00:21:29,915 Speaker 1: Did they bring up Tucker Carlson and jd Vance and 373 00:21:29,995 --> 00:21:33,195 Speaker 1: Nazis in Churchill? They did, Okay, you missed one. Did 374 00:21:33,195 --> 00:21:35,195 Speaker 1: they bring up the Arlington Cemetery scandal? 375 00:21:35,395 --> 00:21:35,835 Speaker 2: They did not. 376 00:21:36,395 --> 00:21:38,555 Speaker 1: I don't think it was any great loss. It's important 377 00:21:38,555 --> 00:21:40,515 Speaker 1: to us. I don't know that it was important to 378 00:21:40,595 --> 00:21:43,195 Speaker 1: the viewers who were not seeing or were seeing Kamala 379 00:21:43,195 --> 00:21:45,475 Speaker 1: Harris maybe for the first time, and certainly seeing the 380 00:21:45,515 --> 00:21:47,835 Speaker 1: two of them together for the first time. The television 381 00:21:47,875 --> 00:21:50,115 Speaker 1: audience and the streaming audience in this country for the 382 00:21:50,155 --> 00:21:52,635 Speaker 1: first debate in the middle of summer was fifty one 383 00:21:52,715 --> 00:21:55,635 Speaker 1: million approximately. I suspect this one will be far better 384 00:21:55,635 --> 00:21:57,555 Speaker 1: than that, because, on top of everything else, it was 385 00:21:57,595 --> 00:22:00,355 Speaker 1: goddamn better television than the first one was, and it 386 00:22:00,435 --> 00:22:03,755 Speaker 1: was not. I suspect the Trump people hung in there 387 00:22:03,795 --> 00:22:06,595 Speaker 1: as long as they could assuming that at some point 388 00:22:06,595 --> 00:22:09,035 Speaker 1: he would get up off the mat and throw a haymaker, 389 00:22:09,075 --> 00:22:13,515 Speaker 1: which he never did. But for those in the political equation, 390 00:22:13,675 --> 00:22:16,475 Speaker 1: people who would be voting for Kamala Harris, at the 391 00:22:16,515 --> 00:22:18,075 Speaker 1: end of that, I'm sure you had the same feeling 392 00:22:18,595 --> 00:22:19,395 Speaker 1: I had, which. 393 00:22:19,355 --> 00:22:22,035 Speaker 2: Was what it's over already? Is there going to be 394 00:22:22,075 --> 00:22:25,195 Speaker 2: another one next week? Come on, let's do this every week. Kids. 395 00:22:26,155 --> 00:22:30,035 Speaker 1: Did she call him not a liar or a criminal, 396 00:22:30,075 --> 00:22:33,435 Speaker 1: but lawless. Yes, she implied that he had no law. 397 00:22:33,475 --> 00:22:36,995 Speaker 1: He was a law unto himself. Did she call him. 398 00:22:37,115 --> 00:22:41,795 Speaker 2: Old go for the gold, old is gold? She never 399 00:22:41,955 --> 00:22:42,595 Speaker 2: used the word. 400 00:22:43,155 --> 00:22:44,995 Speaker 1: I guess she's a better person than I am, but 401 00:22:45,075 --> 00:22:47,675 Speaker 1: she did imply it and successfully. Did she call him 402 00:22:47,675 --> 00:22:52,635 Speaker 1: low energy? She described the audiences leaving early from his debates. 403 00:22:52,835 --> 00:22:56,355 Speaker 1: You could see his eyes flare with rage at the 404 00:22:56,395 --> 00:22:59,155 Speaker 1: thought of this, because that's all that really matters to him. 405 00:22:59,315 --> 00:23:03,395 Speaker 1: It is human beings as numbers, that's all he understands. 406 00:23:03,475 --> 00:23:07,035 Speaker 1: It ties into the answer about Ukraine. Human beings as numbers. 407 00:23:07,395 --> 00:23:10,955 Speaker 1: The enjoyment in life that he gets, perhaps one of 408 00:23:10,955 --> 00:23:13,395 Speaker 1: the few enjoyments in life that doesn't come in a 409 00:23:13,435 --> 00:23:14,355 Speaker 1: bag that says. 410 00:23:14,235 --> 00:23:17,275 Speaker 2: McDonald's on it. Well, then a few things he actually 411 00:23:17,355 --> 00:23:18,715 Speaker 2: enjoys is those rallies. 412 00:23:18,835 --> 00:23:21,555 Speaker 1: There was a point in twenty sixteen when he said 413 00:23:21,595 --> 00:23:24,075 Speaker 1: he thought maybe he would lose, but he'd continue to 414 00:23:24,115 --> 00:23:27,555 Speaker 1: hold the rallies because he so enjoyed them, because people 415 00:23:27,595 --> 00:23:30,275 Speaker 1: were cheering, and he could count, and he could say 416 00:23:30,435 --> 00:23:33,275 Speaker 1: there were one hundred and eleven billion people at my rally. 417 00:23:33,555 --> 00:23:36,355 Speaker 2: And she attacked the number of people. 418 00:23:36,115 --> 00:23:39,115 Speaker 1: At his rallies. Oh did he not like that? Did 419 00:23:39,155 --> 00:23:40,395 Speaker 1: she call him low energy? 420 00:23:40,475 --> 00:23:42,635 Speaker 2: Yes? Did she call him failure yes? Did she use 421 00:23:42,675 --> 00:23:43,315 Speaker 2: the word weird? 422 00:23:43,915 --> 00:23:49,115 Speaker 1: No? Damn fact checking. I mentioned this again. Hats off 423 00:23:49,155 --> 00:23:52,355 Speaker 1: to Lindsay Davis and David Buher. Did she accomplish her 424 00:23:52,395 --> 00:23:55,555 Speaker 1: two main goals? Did she introduce herself to the twenty 425 00:23:55,635 --> 00:23:58,355 Speaker 1: eight percent who don't have enough info? According to the 426 00:23:58,355 --> 00:24:01,595 Speaker 1: CIBA the IPSOS New York Times poll from over the weekend, 427 00:24:01,955 --> 00:24:04,675 Speaker 1: don't think they know enough about her to decide up 428 00:24:04,835 --> 00:24:07,995 Speaker 1: or down. I think she did that spectacularly, And I 429 00:24:08,035 --> 00:24:09,675 Speaker 1: think she did that for the people who went to 430 00:24:09,675 --> 00:24:11,715 Speaker 1: bed at nine oh five pm and went, oh, I 431 00:24:11,755 --> 00:24:15,875 Speaker 1: get it now. She's sort of a very pleasant and 432 00:24:15,995 --> 00:24:21,795 Speaker 1: well spoken, sort of standard issue slightly more liberal maybe 433 00:24:21,835 --> 00:24:24,995 Speaker 1: than I am Democrat, but she's not going to get. 434 00:24:24,915 --> 00:24:25,635 Speaker 2: Us all killed. 435 00:24:25,915 --> 00:24:28,515 Speaker 1: Did she win over people who did not know her 436 00:24:28,675 --> 00:24:29,995 Speaker 1: as opposed to Trump's goal? 437 00:24:30,275 --> 00:24:32,435 Speaker 2: Trump's goal in this had to be. 438 00:24:32,475 --> 00:24:35,715 Speaker 1: For him to get any higher than his ceiling of 439 00:24:35,755 --> 00:24:37,755 Speaker 1: forty seven percent of popular support. 440 00:24:38,155 --> 00:24:40,395 Speaker 2: Did he sell himself? 441 00:24:40,755 --> 00:24:43,675 Speaker 1: Did he convince people who hate him to vote for 442 00:24:43,755 --> 00:24:47,075 Speaker 1: him anyway? I can't imagine that the answer to the 443 00:24:47,115 --> 00:24:49,275 Speaker 1: total number of people he convinced who hate him to 444 00:24:49,355 --> 00:24:52,155 Speaker 1: vote for him anyway was more than thirty or thirty five, 445 00:24:52,515 --> 00:24:55,635 Speaker 1: Not thousand, not million, but thirty or thirty five. She 446 00:24:55,955 --> 00:24:59,435 Speaker 1: in the first five minutes of that debate smiled, laughed 447 00:24:59,475 --> 00:25:03,355 Speaker 1: at him, looked quizzically at him, mocked him, didn't say 448 00:25:03,355 --> 00:25:07,395 Speaker 1: a word, Pa paid attention, was vibrant, welcoming, has a 449 00:25:07,435 --> 00:25:10,475 Speaker 1: great face for television, and utilized it in all of 450 00:25:10,515 --> 00:25:14,035 Speaker 1: the ways you can utilize a face on television. Tax 451 00:25:14,075 --> 00:25:16,795 Speaker 1: deductions in the first answer, and as I said, not 452 00:25:16,955 --> 00:25:20,715 Speaker 1: only brought up what she was and what she was 453 00:25:20,755 --> 00:25:24,275 Speaker 1: going to say during the course of that debate, but 454 00:25:24,395 --> 00:25:26,595 Speaker 1: defined him and said what he would do and how 455 00:25:26,635 --> 00:25:28,795 Speaker 1: he would fall apart, and how he would eventually get 456 00:25:28,835 --> 00:25:33,475 Speaker 1: around to racism and sexism and to this extraordinary xenophobia 457 00:25:33,675 --> 00:25:36,635 Speaker 1: that animates him in every respect, And he promptly did 458 00:25:36,835 --> 00:25:39,915 Speaker 1: everything she said he was going to do. Tim O'Brien, 459 00:25:39,955 --> 00:25:42,875 Speaker 1: who I mentioned earlier from Bloomberg, who issued a checklist 460 00:25:42,875 --> 00:25:46,315 Speaker 1: of seven key points for Kamala Harris respect the split screen. 461 00:25:46,515 --> 00:25:49,395 Speaker 1: Where as I put it, can you maintain resting president 462 00:25:49,435 --> 00:25:55,595 Speaker 1: face A plus, emphasize your the borders are he sabotaged 463 00:25:55,635 --> 00:25:58,955 Speaker 1: the border deal. I'm summarizing exactly what she said, and 464 00:25:59,035 --> 00:26:02,275 Speaker 1: early in the process did she and again he did 465 00:26:02,315 --> 00:26:04,595 Speaker 1: not use the word pander. I did pander to swing 466 00:26:04,755 --> 00:26:06,875 Speaker 1: state voters with data on the economy? 467 00:26:07,035 --> 00:26:07,755 Speaker 2: She sure did. 468 00:26:07,835 --> 00:26:10,195 Speaker 1: She successfully did that, and she did it in each 469 00:26:10,395 --> 00:26:12,795 Speaker 1: quarter hour of the clock. So if you were just 470 00:26:12,875 --> 00:26:15,195 Speaker 1: joining it after watching a ball game, no matter when 471 00:26:15,275 --> 00:26:18,035 Speaker 1: you joined it, you heard a number that indicated that 472 00:26:18,075 --> 00:26:21,315 Speaker 1: his economy was less good than it looked, and hers 473 00:26:21,515 --> 00:26:24,315 Speaker 1: or hers and Biden's was better than it had looked, 474 00:26:24,315 --> 00:26:26,155 Speaker 1: and the one that is upcoming. 475 00:26:25,835 --> 00:26:26,435 Speaker 2: Would be better. 476 00:26:26,515 --> 00:26:30,875 Speaker 1: Yet did she manage to dodge some questions but not 477 00:26:31,035 --> 00:26:34,035 Speaker 1: most or all of them while he continued to dodge. 478 00:26:34,195 --> 00:26:36,995 Speaker 1: It's exactly what happened he looked like he was just 479 00:26:37,035 --> 00:26:39,595 Speaker 1: going to say what he damn well pleased. She managed 480 00:26:39,635 --> 00:26:43,355 Speaker 1: to answer virtually every question, although her answers about Hamas 481 00:26:43,435 --> 00:26:46,355 Speaker 1: and the Middle East and the war and Israel were 482 00:26:47,115 --> 00:26:50,475 Speaker 1: basically boilt plate. And I'll ask you to actually see 483 00:26:50,475 --> 00:26:53,195 Speaker 1: if you can remember what her conclusion was to this, 484 00:26:53,275 --> 00:26:55,995 Speaker 1: other than getting the hostages out and getting a ceasefire. 485 00:26:56,195 --> 00:26:59,235 Speaker 1: Not that that's a bad conclusion, but in the environment there, 486 00:26:59,315 --> 00:27:01,835 Speaker 1: she did not come down on one side or another 487 00:27:01,875 --> 00:27:04,595 Speaker 1: and did not explain how those things would be achieved. 488 00:27:04,955 --> 00:27:08,555 Speaker 1: Did she remind them? O'Brien's last point was that Trump 489 00:27:08,675 --> 00:27:11,715 Speaker 1: is in it for himself to stay out of jail. 490 00:27:12,155 --> 00:27:16,315 Speaker 1: She said, Trump is in it for himself. An extraordinary 491 00:27:16,315 --> 00:27:18,875 Speaker 1: performance from Kamala Harris. I don't know how it could 492 00:27:18,875 --> 00:27:23,715 Speaker 1: have been much better. The closing statement was formal and 493 00:27:23,795 --> 00:27:28,075 Speaker 1: presidential and a little austere, and it suffered only in 494 00:27:28,115 --> 00:27:31,235 Speaker 1: comparison to the first You know, ninety minutes of her 495 00:27:31,235 --> 00:27:34,435 Speaker 1: performance an A plus all the way through. I'm sorry 496 00:27:34,475 --> 00:27:36,875 Speaker 1: you only get an A for your closing remarks. They 497 00:27:36,955 --> 00:27:39,795 Speaker 1: sounded a little rehearsed by that point. I don't think 498 00:27:39,795 --> 00:27:53,435 Speaker 1: it mattered. Let's review five or six things further that 499 00:27:53,515 --> 00:27:57,955 Speaker 1: happened with videotape clips, the first of them being it's 500 00:27:58,115 --> 00:28:02,555 Speaker 1: not necessary really to listen to what Trump is saying here, 501 00:28:02,835 --> 00:28:06,795 Speaker 1: but just to watch her hand on her chin and 502 00:28:07,355 --> 00:28:12,355 Speaker 1: the quiet laughter. The microphones were shut off. Sure, guess what, 503 00:28:12,675 --> 00:28:16,075 Speaker 1: you can pantomime things, and Kamala Harris did that successfully 504 00:28:16,115 --> 00:28:16,595 Speaker 1: tonight too. 505 00:28:17,995 --> 00:28:21,355 Speaker 3: She's a Marxist. Everybody knows she's a Marxist. Her father's 506 00:28:21,395 --> 00:28:25,075 Speaker 3: a Marxist professor in economics, and he taught her well. 507 00:28:25,435 --> 00:28:28,115 Speaker 3: But when you look at what she's done to our country, 508 00:28:28,315 --> 00:28:30,875 Speaker 3: and when you look at these millions and millions of 509 00:28:30,915 --> 00:28:33,995 Speaker 3: people that are pouring into our country monthly, where it's 510 00:28:34,075 --> 00:28:36,715 Speaker 3: I believe twenty one million people, not the fifteen that 511 00:28:36,795 --> 00:28:38,915 Speaker 3: people say, and I think it's a lot higher than 512 00:28:38,995 --> 00:28:42,195 Speaker 3: the twenty one. That's bigger than New York State pouring in. 513 00:28:42,675 --> 00:28:46,115 Speaker 2: Thank you, this just in this just handed to me. 514 00:28:46,595 --> 00:28:48,515 Speaker 1: I wanted to read you the lead from the New 515 00:28:48,595 --> 00:28:52,235 Speaker 1: York Times, the holy goddamn New York Times, which, as 516 00:28:52,235 --> 00:28:55,315 Speaker 1: you know, has set out the entirety of this presidential election, 517 00:28:55,435 --> 00:28:58,515 Speaker 1: because nothing that happens to this country would affect the 518 00:28:58,515 --> 00:29:00,875 Speaker 1: New York Times. There will always be in New York Times? 519 00:29:00,955 --> 00:29:05,795 Speaker 1: Right right? Did I do the meme correctly? Live updates? 520 00:29:06,675 --> 00:29:09,315 Speaker 1: Vice President Kamala Harris shook the hand to former President 521 00:29:09,395 --> 00:29:11,955 Speaker 1: Donald J. Trump as she walked on stage, then spent 522 00:29:12,035 --> 00:29:15,475 Speaker 1: the next ninety minutes making every effort to burrow under 523 00:29:15,515 --> 00:29:22,515 Speaker 1: his skin. Wow, Associated Press again. Christy blasts Trump debate prep. 524 00:29:22,875 --> 00:29:26,075 Speaker 1: This is when everybody who said I told you so, 525 00:29:26,395 --> 00:29:29,395 Speaker 1: particularly on the conservative side, about Donald Trump, gets to 526 00:29:29,435 --> 00:29:32,275 Speaker 1: say it again, only they'll find an audience to put 527 00:29:32,275 --> 00:29:35,395 Speaker 1: them on TV again. To the Associated Press, whoever did 528 00:29:35,675 --> 00:29:37,715 Speaker 1: debate prep for Donald Trump should be fired. 529 00:29:37,995 --> 00:29:39,875 Speaker 2: Chris Christy says ABC News. 530 00:29:40,115 --> 00:29:43,555 Speaker 1: He helped prep Trump for debates in previous election cycles 531 00:29:43,595 --> 00:29:46,355 Speaker 1: and is now at Trump critic And here it is 532 00:29:46,595 --> 00:29:49,475 Speaker 1: no surprise. Trump thinks he did well during the debate. 533 00:29:49,875 --> 00:29:53,075 Speaker 1: People are saying big win tonight, he posted on truth Social, 534 00:29:53,315 --> 00:29:55,955 Speaker 1: his social media site. He also complained about the moderators. 535 00:29:56,195 --> 00:29:59,035 Speaker 1: I thought that was my best debate ever, especially since 536 00:29:59,075 --> 00:30:02,355 Speaker 1: it was three on one. Well it was, it was 537 00:30:02,475 --> 00:30:05,755 Speaker 1: in fact two on one because clearly the goal of 538 00:30:05,835 --> 00:30:08,795 Speaker 1: Kamala Harris was to destroy Donald Trump, and the goal 539 00:30:08,875 --> 00:30:13,955 Speaker 1: of Donald Trump was also to destroy Donald Trump. Another clip. 540 00:30:14,875 --> 00:30:18,795 Speaker 1: What was that again about the mikes being off? There 541 00:30:18,795 --> 00:30:22,275 Speaker 1: are Mike's and there are mikes, and there is off 542 00:30:22,955 --> 00:30:24,355 Speaker 1: and there is off. 543 00:30:24,755 --> 00:30:28,035 Speaker 3: I have been a leader on fertilization IVF and the 544 00:30:28,075 --> 00:30:33,435 Speaker 3: other thing. They you should ask will she allow abortion 545 00:30:33,715 --> 00:30:37,275 Speaker 3: in the eighth month, ninth month, seventh month? Come on, okay, 546 00:30:37,315 --> 00:30:40,515 Speaker 3: would you do that? Why don't you ask me that question? 547 00:30:40,995 --> 00:30:44,115 Speaker 2: That's the question because under v question. 548 00:30:44,555 --> 00:30:47,875 Speaker 3: You could do abortions in the seventh month, the eighth month, 549 00:30:48,035 --> 00:30:51,435 Speaker 3: the ninth month, and probably after birth. Just look at 550 00:30:51,435 --> 00:30:55,755 Speaker 3: the governor, former governor of Virginia. The governor of Virginia said, 551 00:30:55,795 --> 00:30:58,075 Speaker 3: we put the baby aside and then we determine what 552 00:30:58,115 --> 00:30:59,155 Speaker 3: we want to do with a baby. 553 00:30:59,435 --> 00:30:59,675 Speaker 1: Trump. 554 00:30:59,795 --> 00:31:00,155 Speaker 3: Thank you. 555 00:31:01,835 --> 00:31:07,075 Speaker 1: Another dish just In Off Instagram Taylor Swift. This is 556 00:31:07,075 --> 00:31:09,395 Speaker 1: not the best of her many good compositions, but it 557 00:31:09,435 --> 00:31:11,915 Speaker 1: will do. Particularly the finish. The last part of the 558 00:31:11,995 --> 00:31:14,395 Speaker 1: lyrics here is a rather exciting. Like many of you, 559 00:31:14,595 --> 00:31:17,235 Speaker 1: she writes, I watch the debate tonight if you haven't already, 560 00:31:17,355 --> 00:31:19,235 Speaker 1: now is a great time to do your research on 561 00:31:19,275 --> 00:31:21,995 Speaker 1: the issues at hand and the stances these candidates take 562 00:31:21,995 --> 00:31:23,955 Speaker 1: on the topics that matter to you the most. As 563 00:31:23,955 --> 00:31:26,035 Speaker 1: a voter, I make sure to watch and read everything 564 00:31:26,075 --> 00:31:30,155 Speaker 1: I can about their proposed policies and plans for this country. Recently, 565 00:31:30,195 --> 00:31:33,715 Speaker 1: I was made aware that AI of me falsely endorsing 566 00:31:33,755 --> 00:31:36,635 Speaker 1: Donald Trump's presidential run was posted to his site. It 567 00:31:36,715 --> 00:31:39,715 Speaker 1: really conjured up my fears around AI and the dangers 568 00:31:39,755 --> 00:31:42,475 Speaker 1: of spreading misinformation. It brought me to the conclusion that 569 00:31:42,515 --> 00:31:45,555 Speaker 1: I need to be very transparent about my actual plans 570 00:31:45,555 --> 00:31:47,995 Speaker 1: for this election. As a voter, the simplest way to 571 00:31:48,035 --> 00:31:52,835 Speaker 1: combat misinformation is with the truth. Do I hear screaming 572 00:31:52,955 --> 00:31:56,795 Speaker 1: Swifties out there on sixth Avenue? Why yes, I do. 573 00:31:57,475 --> 00:32:00,875 Speaker 1: I will be casting my vote for Kamala Harris and 574 00:32:00,955 --> 00:32:04,795 Speaker 1: Tim Walls in the twenty twenty four presidential election. I'm 575 00:32:04,875 --> 00:32:07,755 Speaker 1: voting for Kamala Harris by the way, at Kamala Harris 576 00:32:07,875 --> 00:32:11,435 Speaker 1: to direct you to her Instagram account because she fights 577 00:32:11,435 --> 00:32:13,995 Speaker 1: for the rights and causes I believe need a warrior 578 00:32:14,035 --> 00:32:16,355 Speaker 1: to champion them. I think she is a steady handed, 579 00:32:16,355 --> 00:32:18,755 Speaker 1: gifted leader, and I believe we can accomplish so much 580 00:32:18,795 --> 00:32:20,835 Speaker 1: more in this country if we were led by calm 581 00:32:20,835 --> 00:32:23,555 Speaker 1: and not chaos. I was so heartened and impressed by 582 00:32:23,555 --> 00:32:26,355 Speaker 1: her selection of running mate Tim Walls, who has been 583 00:32:26,395 --> 00:32:30,235 Speaker 1: standing up for LGBTQ plus rights, IVF and a women's 584 00:32:30,315 --> 00:32:34,235 Speaker 1: right to her own body for decades. I've done my research, 585 00:32:34,555 --> 00:32:37,115 Speaker 1: she's not done yet, and I've made my choice. Your 586 00:32:37,155 --> 00:32:38,875 Speaker 1: research is all yours to do, and the choice is 587 00:32:38,915 --> 00:32:40,915 Speaker 1: yours to make. I also want to say, especially to 588 00:32:40,955 --> 00:32:43,275 Speaker 1: first time voters, remember that in order to vote, you 589 00:32:43,355 --> 00:32:45,915 Speaker 1: have to be registered. I also find it's much easier 590 00:32:45,995 --> 00:32:49,075 Speaker 1: to vote early. I'll link where to register and find 591 00:32:49,235 --> 00:32:52,995 Speaker 1: early vote dates and info in my story with Love 592 00:32:53,035 --> 00:33:00,475 Speaker 1: and Hope Taylor Swift Childless cat Lady. So the JD 593 00:33:00,675 --> 00:33:03,515 Speaker 1: vance approach to things really worked well, as did whoever 594 00:33:03,555 --> 00:33:08,555 Speaker 1: put out the artificial intelligence version of Taylor Swift. We 595 00:33:08,635 --> 00:33:12,235 Speaker 1: can now officially declare the state of Swift. Deanna has 596 00:33:12,275 --> 00:33:18,115 Speaker 1: gone for Kamala Harris. There was a moment in here 597 00:33:18,275 --> 00:33:20,835 Speaker 1: where as I mentioned before, Trump. 598 00:33:21,155 --> 00:33:23,155 Speaker 2: Really lost it. 599 00:33:23,795 --> 00:33:26,515 Speaker 1: As Tim O'Brien so aptly pointed out in the checklist 600 00:33:26,595 --> 00:33:30,715 Speaker 1: I read before, how do you get under Donald Trump's skin? 601 00:33:31,395 --> 00:33:34,395 Speaker 1: There are some easy buttons to push. As The Times 602 00:33:34,435 --> 00:33:37,475 Speaker 1: put it, she was burrowing under his skin throughout. There 603 00:33:37,515 --> 00:33:41,235 Speaker 1: was a moment where she accused him of being the 604 00:33:41,275 --> 00:33:46,275 Speaker 1: worst thing you could accuse Trump of being. 605 00:33:46,995 --> 00:33:49,275 Speaker 5: And I'm going to actually do something really unusual, and 606 00:33:49,315 --> 00:33:51,835 Speaker 5: I'm going to invite you to attend one of Donald 607 00:33:51,875 --> 00:33:54,715 Speaker 5: Trump's rallies because it's a really interesting thing to watch. 608 00:33:55,395 --> 00:33:57,555 Speaker 5: You will see during the course of his rallies he 609 00:33:57,595 --> 00:34:01,435 Speaker 5: talks about fictional characters like Hannibal Lecter. He will talk 610 00:34:01,475 --> 00:34:05,115 Speaker 5: about wind mills cause cancer. And what you will also 611 00:34:05,195 --> 00:34:08,435 Speaker 5: notice is that people start leaving his rallies early out 612 00:34:08,435 --> 00:34:11,395 Speaker 5: of exhaustion and boredom. And I will tell you the 613 00:34:11,435 --> 00:34:14,395 Speaker 5: one thing you will not hear him talk about is you. 614 00:34:14,395 --> 00:34:16,995 Speaker 5: You will not hear him talk about your needs, your dreams, 615 00:34:17,035 --> 00:34:19,755 Speaker 5: and your need and your desires. And I'll tell you, 616 00:34:19,835 --> 00:34:23,915 Speaker 5: I believe you deserve a president who actually puts you first, 617 00:34:23,995 --> 00:34:26,715 Speaker 5: and I pledge to you that I will. 618 00:34:26,915 --> 00:34:31,715 Speaker 1: I didn't like that particularly. It was also the matter 619 00:34:31,795 --> 00:34:34,915 Speaker 1: of criminality. There was an attempt of Trump, as there 620 00:34:34,915 --> 00:34:40,075 Speaker 1: has been throughout the entirety of the process of correctly 621 00:34:40,155 --> 00:34:43,115 Speaker 1: assessing the damage and responsibility for what he did to 622 00:34:43,155 --> 00:34:45,835 Speaker 1: this country on January sixth, where he tried to enact 623 00:34:46,035 --> 00:34:48,435 Speaker 1: a political version of nine to eleven. Since we are 624 00:34:49,435 --> 00:34:52,355 Speaker 1: about an hour away from the anniversary of that solemn occasion. 625 00:34:52,595 --> 00:34:56,475 Speaker 1: It's a proper analysis and a proper correlation between that 626 00:34:56,555 --> 00:35:00,915 Speaker 1: and what happened in January twenty twenty one. And it 627 00:35:01,115 --> 00:35:05,475 Speaker 1: was a rather extraordinary moment when they got talking and 628 00:35:05,515 --> 00:35:08,835 Speaker 1: debating the subject of criminality, and it did not go 629 00:35:08,915 --> 00:35:12,115 Speaker 1: well for Trump, and I suppose that shouldn't have been 630 00:35:12,155 --> 00:35:13,035 Speaker 1: a surprise to anybody. 631 00:35:13,155 --> 00:35:15,075 Speaker 4: Really quick response to her Vice President Harris on this 632 00:35:15,155 --> 00:35:17,755 Speaker 4: notion of weaponization of the Justice Department, Well. 633 00:35:17,715 --> 00:35:21,115 Speaker 5: Let's talk about extreme and understand the context in which 634 00:35:21,155 --> 00:35:23,795 Speaker 5: this election in twenty twenty four is taking place. The 635 00:35:23,915 --> 00:35:28,155 Speaker 5: United States Supreme Court recently ruled that the former president 636 00:35:28,195 --> 00:35:32,515 Speaker 5: would essentially be immune from any misconduct if he were 637 00:35:32,555 --> 00:35:35,955 Speaker 5: to enter the White House. Again, Understand, this is someone 638 00:35:35,955 --> 00:35:39,955 Speaker 5: who has openly said he would terminate I'm quoting, terminate 639 00:35:40,395 --> 00:35:43,755 Speaker 5: the Constitution of the United States, that he would weaponize 640 00:35:43,995 --> 00:35:48,955 Speaker 5: the Department of Justice against his political enemies, someone who 641 00:35:49,075 --> 00:35:55,355 Speaker 5: has openly expressed disdain for members of our military. Understand 642 00:35:55,755 --> 00:35:57,755 Speaker 5: what it would mean if Donald Trump were back in 643 00:35:57,795 --> 00:36:01,715 Speaker 5: the White House with no guardrails, because certainly we know 644 00:36:01,875 --> 00:36:04,195 Speaker 5: now the Court won't stop and we know JD. Vance 645 00:36:04,275 --> 00:36:06,395 Speaker 5: is not going to stop him. It's up to the 646 00:36:06,435 --> 00:36:08,475 Speaker 5: American people to stop him. 647 00:36:08,675 --> 00:36:12,435 Speaker 1: Thank you, Vice President Harris in your last run for president. 648 00:36:13,795 --> 00:36:15,595 Speaker 2: This is the one that weaponized, not me. 649 00:36:16,075 --> 00:36:19,395 Speaker 3: She weaponized. I probably took a bullet to the head 650 00:36:19,795 --> 00:36:22,835 Speaker 3: because of the things that they say about me. They 651 00:36:22,875 --> 00:36:26,755 Speaker 3: talk about democracy. I'm a threat to democracy. They're the 652 00:36:26,875 --> 00:36:30,955 Speaker 3: threat to democracy. Was a fake Russia Russia Russia investigation 653 00:36:31,515 --> 00:36:32,275 Speaker 3: that went nowhere. 654 00:36:32,315 --> 00:36:33,475 Speaker 2: We will allow to get to Lindsay. 655 00:36:34,435 --> 00:36:37,875 Speaker 1: If you'll notice that whenever mister Trump is particularly bothered 656 00:36:37,875 --> 00:36:41,035 Speaker 1: by anything anybody else says, he refers to them as 657 00:36:41,435 --> 00:36:44,795 Speaker 1: this is the one. It's an old Mitt Romney line. 658 00:36:44,795 --> 00:36:47,475 Speaker 1: I'm sure Trump will enjoy being compared to Mitt Romney 659 00:36:47,515 --> 00:36:51,715 Speaker 1: when he said of Obama, this one, we know what 660 00:36:51,835 --> 00:36:58,315 Speaker 1: that is, cleaned up terminology for. We know what that is. 661 00:36:59,715 --> 00:37:02,035 Speaker 1: Trump didn't like what happened tonight. I don't care what 662 00:37:02,075 --> 00:37:05,515 Speaker 1: he wrote on social media. He didn't like what happened tonight. 663 00:37:05,595 --> 00:37:09,515 Speaker 1: And he may even have a glimmer, vague idea of 664 00:37:09,555 --> 00:37:12,315 Speaker 1: what happened tonight. He did not present what he needed 665 00:37:12,355 --> 00:37:15,115 Speaker 1: to do. As crazy as the things he said in 666 00:37:15,155 --> 00:37:18,275 Speaker 1: the first debate against Joe Biden were he had remained 667 00:37:18,355 --> 00:37:21,155 Speaker 1: calm throughout. He didn't make a big deal about what 668 00:37:21,195 --> 00:37:24,755 Speaker 1: was happening on the stage. To the president, he retained 669 00:37:25,035 --> 00:37:27,955 Speaker 1: a sense of calm. And as I said here and 670 00:37:28,275 --> 00:37:32,075 Speaker 1: not so much, not so much tonight, there was then 671 00:37:32,235 --> 00:37:36,515 Speaker 1: an extraordinary moment in which you know, what were we 672 00:37:36,555 --> 00:37:39,155 Speaker 1: expecting in an hour and a half long debate, fifty 673 00:37:39,675 --> 00:37:44,555 Speaker 1: sixty outright fabrications and lies, all of them familiar. Well, 674 00:37:44,955 --> 00:37:49,955 Speaker 1: we have a new one. We have Kamala Harris wants 675 00:37:50,035 --> 00:37:57,635 Speaker 1: to take your tax money to perform transgender operations on 676 00:37:57,915 --> 00:37:59,115 Speaker 1: illegal immigrants. 677 00:37:59,755 --> 00:38:01,315 Speaker 2: We're eating ducks now. 678 00:38:01,355 --> 00:38:05,315 Speaker 3: She wants to do transgender operations or a llegue aliens 679 00:38:05,315 --> 00:38:08,995 Speaker 3: that are in prison. This is a radical left liberal 680 00:38:09,275 --> 00:38:12,275 Speaker 3: that would do this. She wants to confiscate you guns, 681 00:38:12,475 --> 00:38:14,995 Speaker 3: and she will never allow fracking in Pennsylvania. 682 00:38:15,075 --> 00:38:17,315 Speaker 1: Of all the things Katala Hier said or did tonight, 683 00:38:17,395 --> 00:38:20,195 Speaker 1: and anything that results from this in the polls, anything 684 00:38:20,275 --> 00:38:23,075 Speaker 1: that results from this in the Taylor Swift endorsement, anything 685 00:38:23,275 --> 00:38:26,795 Speaker 1: that results in this in terms of fundraising, The fact 686 00:38:26,835 --> 00:38:29,955 Speaker 1: that she was able to manage for ninety minutes almost 687 00:38:29,995 --> 00:38:34,395 Speaker 1: without interruption, a look of I'm about to burst into laughter, 688 00:38:34,515 --> 00:38:38,075 Speaker 1: but I'll manage to control myself because I love the flag. 689 00:38:38,555 --> 00:38:41,875 Speaker 1: Is something I've never seen before in politics. Well, I 690 00:38:41,875 --> 00:38:44,875 Speaker 1: shouldn't say that. It's a glimmer of what Barack Obama 691 00:38:44,955 --> 00:38:47,595 Speaker 1: could do. And I saw it firsthand when I moderated 692 00:38:47,635 --> 00:38:49,795 Speaker 1: a unofficially called debate. 693 00:38:49,795 --> 00:38:52,275 Speaker 2: It was a candidate's forum. It was a cattle call. 694 00:38:52,355 --> 00:38:54,835 Speaker 1: There were still nine Democrats running for president, and we 695 00:38:54,875 --> 00:38:56,355 Speaker 1: had all but one of them out on a stage 696 00:38:56,395 --> 00:38:59,675 Speaker 1: in Chicago. And every time, even when it wasn't on camera, 697 00:38:59,875 --> 00:39:02,995 Speaker 1: that somebody said something about Barack Obama, he would give 698 00:39:03,035 --> 00:39:08,155 Speaker 1: a little, a little look that was just just dismissive 699 00:39:08,395 --> 00:39:11,595 Speaker 1: enough that you went, this is a sharp guy, without 700 00:39:11,635 --> 00:39:14,715 Speaker 1: going I like this guy. He's being too dismissive. She 701 00:39:14,915 --> 00:39:17,675 Speaker 1: managed to walk a tight rope through that entire ninety 702 00:39:17,715 --> 00:39:21,235 Speaker 1: minutes in which she looked like she was about to 703 00:39:21,275 --> 00:39:23,995 Speaker 1: burst out laughing, and he meanwhile looked like he was 704 00:39:23,995 --> 00:39:26,235 Speaker 1: about to burst out from behind the podium and take 705 00:39:26,275 --> 00:39:29,755 Speaker 1: a swing at her. A clean victory for Kamala Harris. 706 00:39:30,075 --> 00:39:33,435 Speaker 1: In fact, I would suggest a shutout victory for Kamala Harris. 707 00:39:33,475 --> 00:39:36,515 Speaker 1: I don't think anything Trump said about her would have 708 00:39:36,555 --> 00:39:38,955 Speaker 1: stuck because it was as crazy as and I know 709 00:39:39,035 --> 00:39:41,395 Speaker 1: I added the part about the ducks. He really didn't 710 00:39:41,395 --> 00:39:44,715 Speaker 1: invoke ducks. He just said they want to perform transgender 711 00:39:44,755 --> 00:39:48,955 Speaker 1: surgery on illegal immigrants. He really does sound like somebody 712 00:39:48,995 --> 00:39:52,795 Speaker 1: who heard a newscast and then was asked to repeat 713 00:39:52,795 --> 00:39:56,915 Speaker 1: it from memory while drunk and seventy eight years old 714 00:39:57,315 --> 00:39:59,435 Speaker 1: and not quite right in the head. 715 00:39:59,835 --> 00:40:01,355 Speaker 2: For most of those seventy eight years. 716 00:40:01,675 --> 00:40:03,395 Speaker 1: Lastly, I want to shay one more thing here and 717 00:40:03,395 --> 00:40:07,035 Speaker 1: again this is whatever's be being said doesn't matter. I 718 00:40:07,075 --> 00:40:09,355 Speaker 1: started to notice this very early on because I have 719 00:40:10,195 --> 00:40:13,155 Speaker 1: a sweaty thing here on my lip. Whatever this is 720 00:40:13,195 --> 00:40:16,795 Speaker 1: called between the two halves of your lip. I know 721 00:40:16,835 --> 00:40:18,675 Speaker 1: there's a technical term for it. I looked it up once. 722 00:40:18,715 --> 00:40:20,755 Speaker 1: I have a mental block against it because every once 723 00:40:20,755 --> 00:40:22,395 Speaker 1: in a while, when you don't see me on camera, 724 00:40:22,555 --> 00:40:25,355 Speaker 1: I have to do something like this. I've had to 725 00:40:25,355 --> 00:40:27,635 Speaker 1: do it since I started in television in nineteen eighty one. 726 00:40:27,675 --> 00:40:30,075 Speaker 1: So when I see it in others, I go that 727 00:40:30,115 --> 00:40:33,275 Speaker 1: guy's got a sweaty lip. The last thirty minutes of 728 00:40:33,315 --> 00:40:36,875 Speaker 1: this debate, even with two commercial breaks where somebody could 729 00:40:36,875 --> 00:40:39,315 Speaker 1: have come out and gone out of President Trump, you 730 00:40:39,395 --> 00:40:42,195 Speaker 1: have you have some stuff on your lips. 731 00:40:42,275 --> 00:40:44,875 Speaker 2: It didn't do it. Let's see what the tape looks 732 00:40:44,955 --> 00:40:45,515 Speaker 2: like on this. 733 00:40:46,915 --> 00:40:50,075 Speaker 5: But let's understand how we got to where we are. 734 00:40:50,515 --> 00:40:54,475 Speaker 5: Donald Trump, when he was president, negotiated one of the 735 00:40:54,515 --> 00:40:57,995 Speaker 5: weakest deals you can imagine. He calls himself a deal maker. 736 00:40:58,315 --> 00:41:01,635 Speaker 5: Even his national security advisor said it was a weak, 737 00:41:02,035 --> 00:41:02,755 Speaker 5: terrible deal. 738 00:41:03,195 --> 00:41:08,995 Speaker 1: See it, you see it? Do you see it right there? 739 00:41:09,155 --> 00:41:11,475 Speaker 1: Oh my god, I have nightmares where I look like that. 740 00:41:11,875 --> 00:41:14,275 Speaker 1: And his went on for half an hour in front 741 00:41:14,315 --> 00:41:18,115 Speaker 1: of who knows, we'll find out fifty sixty seventy million people. 742 00:41:18,275 --> 00:41:21,435 Speaker 1: Who knows how many people saw. And the oldest praise 743 00:41:21,515 --> 00:41:23,915 Speaker 1: of show business is the one that applied at the 744 00:41:24,035 --> 00:41:28,235 Speaker 1: very end for Donald Trump. Never let them see you sweat, 745 00:41:28,355 --> 00:41:31,955 Speaker 1: And everybody saw him sweat. Of all the things we've 746 00:41:31,955 --> 00:41:35,675 Speaker 1: seen happened to Trump during this nightmare decade of Trump 747 00:41:35,715 --> 00:41:38,715 Speaker 1: in ascendency and then to the presidency and then as 748 00:41:38,755 --> 00:41:42,035 Speaker 1: this president in exile and then this kind of late 749 00:41:42,155 --> 00:41:45,435 Speaker 1: Napoleonic figure, of all the things we've seen, we've never 750 00:41:45,475 --> 00:41:46,315 Speaker 1: really seen him. 751 00:41:46,155 --> 00:41:47,915 Speaker 2: Get his come upance. Yet. 752 00:41:48,555 --> 00:41:50,835 Speaker 1: I think perhaps he's going to get his come upance now. 753 00:41:51,795 --> 00:41:56,835 Speaker 1: And lastly, it is perhaps an indicator that we got 754 00:41:56,875 --> 00:42:00,475 Speaker 1: to the stage where this fight, this debate was over 755 00:42:01,315 --> 00:42:03,355 Speaker 1: six seven minutes in and it was just a question 756 00:42:03,435 --> 00:42:05,515 Speaker 1: how bad it was going to be. Unlike the one 757 00:42:05,555 --> 00:42:08,555 Speaker 1: with Biden and Trump, but this was different because there 758 00:42:08,635 --> 00:42:14,595 Speaker 1: was no sense of anyone potentially having sympathy for Donald Trump. 759 00:42:14,755 --> 00:42:17,075 Speaker 1: This was just watching the guy get the crap beaten 760 00:42:17,075 --> 00:42:20,115 Speaker 1: out of him again and again and again. And one 761 00:42:20,155 --> 00:42:23,195 Speaker 1: way I knew it was coming was how quickly, how 762 00:42:23,275 --> 00:42:26,195 Speaker 1: quickly he actually went to and in fact, whether he 763 00:42:26,235 --> 00:42:33,555 Speaker 1: would go to at all. This weakest, dumbest, most quickly dismissed, 764 00:42:33,795 --> 00:42:41,275 Speaker 1: most self defeating of complete nightmare, bullshit, fantasy scenarios, the 765 00:42:41,315 --> 00:42:49,675 Speaker 1: ones about the guys in Ohio eating the cats and dogs, ducks, geese, 766 00:42:51,955 --> 00:42:53,955 Speaker 1: the tree is going to scurry when I take you 767 00:42:53,995 --> 00:42:56,755 Speaker 1: out in the surrey. I'm sorry I broke into Oklahoma 768 00:42:56,795 --> 00:43:00,515 Speaker 1: there for a moment. In Springfield. He said, they're eating 769 00:43:00,595 --> 00:43:04,115 Speaker 1: the dogs the people that came in. They're eating the cats, 770 00:43:04,515 --> 00:43:08,155 Speaker 1: They're eating the pets of the people that live there, 771 00:43:09,435 --> 00:43:14,875 Speaker 1: to which David Muhir, the moderator, the principal moderator, simply said, no, 772 00:43:14,955 --> 00:43:16,955 Speaker 1: they're not. We checked with the officials there, and then 773 00:43:17,315 --> 00:43:20,755 Speaker 1: Trump insisted that those officials had to be lying were 774 00:43:20,795 --> 00:43:25,155 Speaker 1: wrong because he saw people on TV. There is However, 775 00:43:25,235 --> 00:43:27,675 Speaker 1: still we will never be rid of this. It's true 776 00:43:27,715 --> 00:43:31,515 Speaker 1: in any population, there's always ten percent of people who 777 00:43:31,555 --> 00:43:35,035 Speaker 1: are functionally insane, ten percent of people who are going 778 00:43:35,075 --> 00:43:37,195 Speaker 1: to be racist, ten percent of people who are going 779 00:43:37,195 --> 00:43:39,915 Speaker 1: to be interested in only themselves. When they bind together 780 00:43:39,955 --> 00:43:42,195 Speaker 1: in a grand coalition with the other people who have 781 00:43:42,435 --> 00:43:45,355 Speaker 1: various grievances, we get a President Trump, we get an 782 00:43:45,395 --> 00:43:47,955 Speaker 1: Adolph Hitler, we get a Napoleon to bring him up 783 00:43:47,955 --> 00:43:51,395 Speaker 1: into this again. We get any one of a dozen 784 00:43:51,435 --> 00:43:54,355 Speaker 1: different Russian leaders in any one of a dozen different 785 00:43:54,555 --> 00:43:58,995 Speaker 1: forms of government. But here we have this percentage of 786 00:43:58,995 --> 00:44:03,555 Speaker 1: people who think that the stories of the ducks and 787 00:44:03,995 --> 00:44:07,795 Speaker 1: the cats and the dogs not only are true, but 788 00:44:08,115 --> 00:44:13,195 Speaker 1: somehow redound to Trump's advantage. Trump History forty five is 789 00:44:13,235 --> 00:44:17,515 Speaker 1: an account on Twitter x and that was they posted 790 00:44:17,595 --> 00:44:21,395 Speaker 1: a meme today that might be the greatest bad meme 791 00:44:21,915 --> 00:44:24,035 Speaker 1: I have ever seen. I would like to show it 792 00:44:24,075 --> 00:44:27,195 Speaker 1: to you now and then offer you a few comments 793 00:44:27,275 --> 00:44:35,835 Speaker 1: on this meme. I didn't want to interrupt your laughter 794 00:44:36,515 --> 00:44:38,595 Speaker 1: there it was. Put it back up for a second. 795 00:44:38,595 --> 00:44:43,235 Speaker 1: Because I want to point something out here. First of all, 796 00:44:43,595 --> 00:44:46,235 Speaker 1: you're goddamn right, I'm eating that duck that could serve 797 00:44:46,275 --> 00:44:48,515 Speaker 1: a family of three hundred. Look at the size of 798 00:44:48,555 --> 00:44:51,515 Speaker 1: that duck that he's on, or goose or whatever it is. 799 00:44:51,795 --> 00:44:54,075 Speaker 1: I don't want to make fun of this. I'm a 800 00:44:54,115 --> 00:44:56,795 Speaker 1: pet lover. I'm very upset that I'm out this late 801 00:44:56,835 --> 00:44:59,515 Speaker 1: at night. My dogs are home. They're worried about me, 802 00:44:59,555 --> 00:45:01,515 Speaker 1: and they're also not watching the show. But that's another 803 00:45:01,555 --> 00:45:04,315 Speaker 1: story between me and the dogs. He's not the man 804 00:45:04,355 --> 00:45:06,995 Speaker 1: America it deserves, it says, he is the man American needs. 805 00:45:07,195 --> 00:45:12,435 Speaker 1: That's right, riding on a giant duck or goose while 806 00:45:12,435 --> 00:45:14,515 Speaker 1: holding six cats, and show it one more time and 807 00:45:14,515 --> 00:45:16,675 Speaker 1: then we'll be done with the duck. Just show it 808 00:45:16,715 --> 00:45:20,075 Speaker 1: one more time because this is the best part. Well, 809 00:45:20,115 --> 00:45:21,835 Speaker 1: that's good too. That's not the duck. 810 00:45:21,875 --> 00:45:22,195 Speaker 2: That's me. 811 00:45:22,355 --> 00:45:25,595 Speaker 1: I recognize me anywhere. That's a reminder that we're on 812 00:45:25,795 --> 00:45:29,555 Speaker 1: every day with the podcast. But if we yes the duck, please. 813 00:45:30,835 --> 00:45:33,635 Speaker 1: It's bad enough that this went out. And it turns 814 00:45:33,635 --> 00:45:37,475 Speaker 1: out that the duck story originated from a Nazi group 815 00:45:38,035 --> 00:45:43,235 Speaker 1: last month at a town hall meeting in Springfield, Ohio 816 00:45:43,435 --> 00:45:45,115 Speaker 1: that came out late this afternoon. 817 00:45:45,155 --> 00:45:46,915 Speaker 2: But take a good look at the back of the duck. 818 00:45:47,515 --> 00:45:53,555 Speaker 1: Please don't tell Donald Trump where Donald duck that his 819 00:45:53,675 --> 00:45:55,315 Speaker 1: ass is on fire. 820 00:45:55,675 --> 00:45:57,275 Speaker 2: That's the kind of political commentary. 821 00:45:57,555 --> 00:46:13,515 Speaker 1: I and I alone can provide you a couple of 822 00:46:13,595 --> 00:46:15,875 Speaker 1: questions before we wrap this up in an hour, and 823 00:46:15,915 --> 00:46:17,715 Speaker 1: I thank you for your attention and staying with us 824 00:46:17,755 --> 00:46:21,475 Speaker 1: once again. I mean, what sort of questions could you 825 00:46:21,515 --> 00:46:23,355 Speaker 1: have after this? Do you think she won by two 826 00:46:23,435 --> 00:46:24,915 Speaker 1: hundred points or do you think she won by three 827 00:46:24,955 --> 00:46:28,995 Speaker 1: hundred points? You, Franklin, writes Keith, what do you make 828 00:46:29,035 --> 00:46:31,555 Speaker 1: of Harris's non answer on the climate? Yes it is 829 00:46:31,595 --> 00:46:34,035 Speaker 1: a threat, and yes she's boostering fracking with her whole 830 00:46:34,115 --> 00:46:37,835 Speaker 1: chest and ensuring we contribute to our ongoing nightmare in progress. 831 00:46:38,715 --> 00:46:43,275 Speaker 1: I am of the opinion that we have one more 832 00:46:43,355 --> 00:46:47,035 Speaker 1: period of time, one brief span less probably than a 833 00:46:47,075 --> 00:46:52,355 Speaker 1: presidential administration, to make some movement to mitigate the coming 834 00:46:52,395 --> 00:46:55,595 Speaker 1: climate disaster, the one that is already underway. I have 835 00:46:55,675 --> 00:46:58,395 Speaker 1: no delusions about this. It is one of the few times, 836 00:46:58,435 --> 00:47:01,555 Speaker 1: as I hit retirement age and my sixty fifth birthday 837 00:47:01,595 --> 00:47:05,195 Speaker 1: this year, that I thought, well, hell, I'll be soon 838 00:47:05,435 --> 00:47:06,515 Speaker 1: it's your problem. 839 00:47:07,355 --> 00:47:08,915 Speaker 2: I don't mean to be cynical. 840 00:47:08,515 --> 00:47:12,035 Speaker 1: About it, but that really is an option that looks 841 00:47:12,155 --> 00:47:16,435 Speaker 1: almost charming in a way, that this is coming and 842 00:47:16,475 --> 00:47:19,915 Speaker 1: we have one last chance to control it. Not to stop, 843 00:47:19,955 --> 00:47:22,115 Speaker 1: but that's gone, all right. We have one last chance 844 00:47:22,155 --> 00:47:24,235 Speaker 1: to control it, and that is to make sure that 845 00:47:24,315 --> 00:47:27,435 Speaker 1: a guy who doesn't believe it's true and is only 846 00:47:27,475 --> 00:47:30,515 Speaker 1: worried about the money that all of the means that 847 00:47:30,635 --> 00:47:35,675 Speaker 1: the planet is being destroyed with only can conceive of 848 00:47:35,715 --> 00:47:38,395 Speaker 1: the money and nothing else, and does not believe that 849 00:47:38,515 --> 00:47:41,515 Speaker 1: any damage is being caused, we have to make sure 850 00:47:41,515 --> 00:47:44,795 Speaker 1: he's not president of the United States. If Kamala Harris 851 00:47:44,795 --> 00:47:48,675 Speaker 1: wants to pledge to go out and personally run fracking 852 00:47:48,715 --> 00:47:52,955 Speaker 1: equipment in the middle of downtown Philadelphia, I'll applaud her, 853 00:47:53,395 --> 00:47:56,155 Speaker 1: particularly if it gets her Pennsylvania. I think you need 854 00:47:56,155 --> 00:47:58,235 Speaker 1: to be a little practical about this one and run 855 00:47:58,275 --> 00:47:59,835 Speaker 1: with it, and we see where we go from there. 856 00:47:59,995 --> 00:48:02,355 Speaker 1: Because the key climate decisions are going to be much 857 00:48:02,435 --> 00:48:05,075 Speaker 1: larger than just fracking, not that cracking is a part 858 00:48:05,075 --> 00:48:08,315 Speaker 1: of it. The whole issue of getting away from fossil 859 00:48:08,355 --> 00:48:12,115 Speaker 1: fuels is much larger, and it is to be decided 860 00:48:12,315 --> 00:48:14,435 Speaker 1: I think principally for the history of the human race 861 00:48:15,035 --> 00:48:18,995 Speaker 1: between Donald Trump being president and Kamala Harris being president. 862 00:48:19,195 --> 00:48:22,715 Speaker 1: So I'll take the fracking not on a permanent basis. 863 00:48:22,955 --> 00:48:26,475 Speaker 1: And by the way, she didn't say how much. There's 864 00:48:26,595 --> 00:48:29,955 Speaker 1: one fracking operation in Pennsylvania and we're operating it as 865 00:48:29,995 --> 00:48:32,555 Speaker 1: a kind of old timer's day for those remaining frackers. 866 00:48:33,195 --> 00:48:37,475 Speaker 1: Awakening Death has written on Twitter X you have a 867 00:48:37,595 --> 00:48:42,195 Speaker 1: fun handle question for KO. Is the Kamala honeymoon phase over? 868 00:48:42,515 --> 00:48:46,275 Speaker 1: And does the reality check internal conflict phase finally begin 869 00:48:46,515 --> 00:48:50,355 Speaker 1: for the GOP. I'm guessing that you're asking whether or 870 00:48:50,355 --> 00:48:53,115 Speaker 1: not the GOP will stop suggesting that this is just 871 00:48:53,395 --> 00:48:55,955 Speaker 1: a honeymoon phase. I don't know what they do at 872 00:48:55,955 --> 00:48:58,195 Speaker 1: this point. I really don't know what they do at 873 00:48:58,195 --> 00:49:00,115 Speaker 1: this point. All the polls are the exception of the 874 00:49:00,115 --> 00:49:02,915 Speaker 1: New York Times over the weekend, which had Trump ahead slightly. 875 00:49:03,195 --> 00:49:07,435 Speaker 1: Every poll since Amala Harris became the nominee, and in fact, 876 00:49:07,475 --> 00:49:09,915 Speaker 1: since the day that Joe Biden dropped out of the race, 877 00:49:10,155 --> 00:49:13,795 Speaker 1: every poll has tended towards her. The growth in the 878 00:49:13,835 --> 00:49:17,395 Speaker 1: Swing States has always been towards her, with occasional circle 879 00:49:17,475 --> 00:49:20,235 Speaker 1: backs where she moves four points ahead and then gives 880 00:49:20,235 --> 00:49:24,515 Speaker 1: a point back. I suspect that the last set of 881 00:49:24,555 --> 00:49:28,755 Speaker 1: polls where she did that one percent back after the 882 00:49:28,835 --> 00:49:32,795 Speaker 1: immediate glow of the Democratic Convention ended and that newness 883 00:49:32,835 --> 00:49:35,435 Speaker 1: began to wear off and we got towards the colder 884 00:49:35,475 --> 00:49:39,395 Speaker 1: winds of September. On October, I think those reversals will 885 00:49:39,395 --> 00:49:41,995 Speaker 1: be the last ones we will see, because in the 886 00:49:42,035 --> 00:49:46,275 Speaker 1: democratic sense, the honeymoon is over for Kamala Harris and 887 00:49:46,355 --> 00:49:49,075 Speaker 1: the post she kicked the crap out of Trump in 888 00:49:49,115 --> 00:49:51,235 Speaker 1: a debate phase has just begun. 889 00:49:51,915 --> 00:49:57,275 Speaker 2: Also, Taylor Swift in dorst her tonight. 890 00:49:58,555 --> 00:50:01,315 Speaker 1: As Dan Patrick used to say in the old days 891 00:50:01,315 --> 00:50:06,155 Speaker 1: of ESPN one, thanks for being with us. A reminder 892 00:50:06,195 --> 00:50:10,155 Speaker 1: once again, I'm on the podcast now five days a week. 893 00:50:10,275 --> 00:50:13,915 Speaker 1: We will post every night because I'm an idiot. I 894 00:50:14,235 --> 00:50:16,715 Speaker 1: should be retired in at home and now I'm going 895 00:50:16,755 --> 00:50:19,315 Speaker 1: to work on Sundays as well. The Monday morning ones 896 00:50:19,355 --> 00:50:21,675 Speaker 1: will be short, but you can watch it on YouTube 897 00:50:21,675 --> 00:50:24,755 Speaker 1: by five or six am each day and you can 898 00:50:24,755 --> 00:50:28,195 Speaker 1: get it wherever you podcast each night at twelve fifteen 899 00:50:28,635 --> 00:50:32,035 Speaker 1: am EDT except probably for this one because it's almost 900 00:50:32,075 --> 00:50:33,275 Speaker 1: twelve fifteen am. 901 00:50:33,595 --> 00:50:33,835 Speaker 3: EDT. 902 00:50:34,315 --> 00:50:38,195 Speaker 1: I thank you for being with us. I think Trump 903 00:50:38,235 --> 00:50:41,715 Speaker 1: is probably still standing somewhere, glowering and making the fool 904 00:50:41,715 --> 00:50:44,875 Speaker 1: out of himself, and I know I will sleep well tonight. 905 00:50:45,155 --> 00:50:48,155 Speaker 1: I hope you do too. For all of us who 906 00:50:48,235 --> 00:50:50,475 Speaker 1: helped produce this and get it on the air, for 907 00:50:50,515 --> 00:50:52,915 Speaker 1: you and the other ones we have done, I thank you, 908 00:50:53,595 --> 00:50:54,355 Speaker 1: and I wish. 909 00:50:54,155 --> 00:50:55,875 Speaker 2: You good night and good luck. 910 00:51:05,955 --> 00:51:09,915 Speaker 1: Countdown with Keith Alderman is a production of iHeartRadio.
