[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] >> Stephen: RIGHT THERE. WE ARE BACK WITH THE ANCHOR OF "THE DAILY REPORT WITH JOHN DICKERSON" CBS NEWS. MR. JOHN DICKERSON. JOHN DICKERSON, WE LEARNED A LOT ABOUT KAMALA HARRIS TONIGHT, AS YOU SAID. THERE WAS A LOT THE AUDIENCE DIDN'T KNOW. 20% OF AMERICANS WANTED TO LEARN MORE. WE HAVE BEEN WITH DONALD TRUMP PRETTY CONSISTENTLY FOR NINE YEARS NOW. IS THERE MORE WE LEARNED TONIGHT? WHAT IS THERE LEFT FOR US TO HAVE LEARNED ABOUT DONALD TRUMP? >> John: THAT'S THE RIGHT QUESTION. WHAT ARE DEBATES FOR? >> Stephen: YOU CAN STOP RIGHT THERE AND JUST SAY THAT WAS THE RIGHT QUESTION, THAT'S ALL I WANTED WAS APPROVAL. >> John: I CALL HIM ON THE SHOW AND TELL YOU HOW GREAT YOUR QUESTIONS ARE. IT'S A VERY GOOD RELATIONSHIP. [LAUGHTER] WHAT ARE DEBATES FOR? THEY ARE AN APPROXIMATION OF WHAT THE JOB MIGHT BE LIKE. IT'S A SERIOUS MOMENT WHEN THEY'RE ASKED GOOD QUESTIONS ABOUT WHAT THEY WOULD DO IN THE JOB AND YOU GET SOME IDEA. WE KNOW WHAT DONALD TRUMP WOULD BE LIKE IN THE JOB BECAUSE HE HAS BEEN IN THE JOB. SECONDARILY UNLIKE PREVIOUS PRESIDENTS WHO HAVE RUN AS INCUMBENTS, YOU HAVE PEOPLE FROM WITHIN THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION, MANY OF WHOM SPOKE UNDER OATH ABOUT HOW HE PERFORMED IN THAT JOB. SO IN HIS HANDS, YOU DON'T NEED A DEBATE TO KNOW HOW HE WILL BEHAVE IN OFFICE BECAUSE YOU HAVE ALL THE TIME HE BEHAVED IN OFFICE. WHAT WAS DISPLAYED IN THAT DEBATE I THINK ONE OF THE THINGS COMPARED TO HIS PREVIOUS DEBATE PERFORMANCES, FIRST OF ALL, HE CANNOT GET PAST THE CROWD SIZE THING. IF YOU ARE ALWAYS TRYING TO THINK, WHAT IS YOU LEARN IN THE DEBATE THAT GOES TO THE PRESIDENCY? IF YOU CANNOT WITHSTAND BEING TAUNTED ABOUT CROWD SIZE, IF YOU ARE INCAPABLE OF NOT TAKING THE BAIT, YOU LACK SOME ABILITY TO CONTROL YOUR PASSIONS. THAT'S NOT SOMETHING YOU WANT IN A PRESIDENCY WHICH IS ALL ABOUT BASICALLY ACTING BOTH WITH DISPATCH BUT ALSO A LOT OF TIMES WITH RESTRAINT. SPOON THE HARRIS CAMPAIGN KNEW HE COULDN'T RESIST IT. THEY HAD BILLBOARDS UP AROUND PHILLY AND ADDS SHOWING TO PRETZELS. A HARRIS PRETZEL ANTI-TRUMP PRETZEL SAYING "CROWD SIZE MATTERS." WITH A FAIRLY SOFT PRETZEL. >> John: AND THIS IS JUVENILE EXCEPT THAT HE SHOWED AGAIN THAT HE'S OBSESSED WITH THAT SO I THINK THEY'RE JUST REINFORCED -- CROWD SIZE DOESN'T MATTER PERSON EXCEPT THAT IT'S A THING THAT WOULD'VE BEEN IN HIS ADVANTAGE TO BLOW OFF AND MOVE ON AND SAY WHAT HE SAID AT HIS VERY END OF THE REMARKS, HIS CLOSING STATEMENT WHERE HE SAID YOU'VE GOT ALL THESE PLANS. WHY DIDN'T YOU DO IT WHEN YOU WERE IN OFFICE. HE WAITED UNTIL THE END OF THE DEBATE TO SAY THAT WHEN HE DEBATED HILLARY CLINTON HE SAID THAT FIRST AND HE WAS RELENTLESS MAKING THAT CASE. YOU'VE BEEN IN POLITICS, HE SAID TO HILLARY CLINTON, 30 YEARS. WHY HAVEN'T YOU DONE ALL THESE THINGS? IT GETS TO PHONINESS. IT DEFLATES WHATEVER PLANS. BUT IN THIS CASE HE LEFT IT AT THE END AND SPENT ALL THIS TIME TALKING ABOUT CROWD SIZES AND PETS AND SOME OF THESE OTHER DIVERSIONS. THE ONLY HAVE A MINUTE BEFORE OUR NEXT BREAK. HOW DO YOU THINK SHE DEALT WITH THE OTHER PROBLEM OF DONALD TRUMP, THE GATLING GUN OF LIES. HOW DO YOU THINK SHE DID AGAINST THE ONSLAUGHT OF THE FALSEHOODS. >> John: SHE WAS JUDICIOUS. THE PROBLEM WITH THE GATLING GUN AS YOU TRY TO KNOCK OFF EACH ONE IN YOUR TIME IS UP AND HE DIDN'T GET TO SAY WHAT SHE WANTED TO SAY. SHE WAS JUDICIOUS IN WHAT SHE FACT-CHECKED. THE MODERATORS FACT-CHECKED JUDICIOUSLY THEMSELVES WHICH WERE BLOOMERS, JUST LIES. OFTENTIMES SHE IGNORED THE QUESTION AND SAID WHAT SHE WANTED TO SAY WHICH IS A WAY OF GETTING ACROSS WHAT SHE ONE DAY THE CROSS SHE IGNORED THE DIVERSE QUESTION OF THE DEBATE WHICH WAS, ARE PEOPLE BETTER OFF THAN THEY WERE FOUR YEARS AGO. SHE JUST WENT RIGHT TO HER POLICIES. WE WILL SEE IF VOTERS BOTHER ABOUT THAT. I THINK THAT WAS SORT OF THE THREE-PRONGED WAY SHE GOT AROUND THIS PROBLEM OF BEING KIND OF PINNED DOWN BY LIES. >> Stephen: WE HAVE TO TAKE ONE MORE BREAK. WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK WITH MORE JOHN DICKERSON, EVERYBODY.
