QUESTION BECAUSE -- >> THE QUESTION IS. >> THE RADICAL LEFT. >> WOULD YOU SHUT UP, MAN. >> JOINING US NOW THE FORMER SPOKESMAN FOR HILLARY CLINTON WHO PLAYED DONALD TRUMP DURING CLINTON'S DEBATE PREP BACK IN 2016. DID YOU GO INTO DEEP TRAINING FOR THAT ONE? >> KIND OF DID. A LOT OF METHOD ACTING, IMMERSION INTO WATCHING THE GOP PRIMARY DEBATES THERE. I THINK THERE WERE A DOZEN. >> SO YOU KNOW WHAT THE DONALD TRUMP STRATEGY IS EVEN THOUGH THERE ARE NEW RULE THIS TIME. THEY'RE GOING TO CUT THE MICS, THERE'S NOT GOING TO BE ANYONE IN THE AUDIENCE, SO TRUMP CAN'T FEED OFF OF THAT. WHAT WOULD YOU SAY? >> WELL, HIS CAMP'S GOT SOME OF THE BEST INCLUDING RON KLAIN, BUT YONG YOU HAVE TO KIND OF APPROACH IT DONALD TRUMP DOESN'T HAVE A STRATEGY AS MUCH AS HE HAS A LIST. THERE'S ALWAYS A LONG LIST OF ITEMS ON HIS MIND THAT HE JUST PREFERS TO TAKE AND GET OFF HIS CHEST. WE CAN ALL DO A PRETTY GOOD DONALD TRUMP IMITATION. IT GOES BACK TO HOW BADLY HE WAS TREATED HIS FIRST TERM, HOW BADLY HE'S BEING TREATED NOW, AND THERE'S THIS THIRD CATEGORY OF SORT OF THE BLUR OF THE ECONOMY AND IMMIGRATION. WE HAVE NOT HAD TWO PEOPLE RUN AGAINST EACH OTHER WHO ARE SWITCHING JOBS IN 134 YEARS. SO THERE'S A LOT OF WAYS TO LOOK AT THE ECONOMIC DATA. THERE'S A LOT OF PAIN TO GO AROUND ON IMMIGRATION. I THINK TRUMP'S STRATEGY FOR LACK OF A BETTER WORD, HIS GUTTURAL THE INTENT IS TO REALLY GET THE BIDEN MOMENT, WHICH HE TALKS ABOUT INCESSANTLY, IT'S NOT A SECRET TO FIND A MOMENT THE PRESIDENT LOOKS OUT OF IT. AND HE'S GOING TO DO THAT THROUGH HURAGING AND NEGATIVE STUFF, BUT I THINK HE'S ALSO GOING TO DO IT THROUGH A BARRAGE OF DATA. NOW, IT'LL BE MOSTLY CONTRIVED, BUT HE'S GOING TO SAY HE'S PROUD OF THE ECONOMY. AND UNDER MY ECONOMY THE DOW WAS A MILLION AND INFLATION WAS NEGATIVE, AND ITEMS WERE FREE, THAT'S GOING TO FALL TO THE MODERATORS. BUT IT'LL BE CONFUSING FOR THE VIEWER AND FOR EVERYONE ON STAGE. >> THERE ARE PROBABLY NOT GOING TO BE MANY FACT CHECKS, AND JOE BIDEN CAN ONLY DO SO MANY. SOMETIMES FRANKLY TRUMP WILL THROW THINGS OUT EVEN THE MOST SEASONED PEOPLE -- >> EXACTLY. >> BUT I WANT TO ASK YOU ABOUT A MOMENT BECAUSE WE KNOW THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO MAY WATCH AS PART OF THE DEBATE, NONE OF THE DEBATE AND THEY MAY SEE WHAT THOSE ARE ON SOCIAL MEDIA, ON NEWSCASTS. IT'S VERY FUNNY WE HAVE THAT CLIP WHEN YOU WERE PLAYING DONALD TRUMP AND HE COMES IN TO HUG HILLARY CLINTON, AND WHAT WOULD YOU DO IN THAT MOMENT? I MEAN THE FACT IS CAN YOU REALLY PREPARE TO HAVE A MOMENT THAT IN A POSITIVE WAY GOES VIRAL? >> PROBABLY NOT, BUT YOU CAN HAVE GONE THROUGH AS MANY HYPOTHETICAL MOMENTS SO THAT IF ANY OF THEM COME UP, YOU WOULD HAVE THOUGHT THEM THROUGH. AND WHAT'S REALLY APT ABOUT THE CLIP YOU JUST SHOWED IS THAT FROM THE VERY FIRST MOMENT TONIGHT, WE'RE GOING TO GET A REAL GOOD SENSE OF WHAT'S GOING ON BECAUSE THESE TWO GUYS DON'T LIKE EACH OTHER. >> AT ALL. >> THE ANIMOSITY IS GOING TO BOIL -- ARE THEY GOING TO SHAKE HANDS? ARE THEY GOING TO SAY HELLO? I MEAN THEY COULDN'T IN 2020 BECAUSE OF COVID, BUT THE IDEA THAT SOMEONE MIGHT COME IN EVEN KEEL AND EVENTUALLY LOSE IT, HEIGHT NOT BE ACCURATE IF RIGHT OFF THE BAT THEY HAVEN'T SEEN EACH OTHER IN 1,343 DAYS. THAT'S A LOT OF PENT-UP ANGER. I MEAN THEY MIGHT TAKE A SWING AT EACH OTHER TO START. >> VERBALLY. >> VERBAL. AND IT DEPENDS ON WHAT THE MODERATORS -- YOU KNOW THIS THE MODERATORS HAVE A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF SAY IN WHAT GOES ON AND YOU HIT THE NAIL ON THE HEAD YOU COULD HAVE NO BELT WINNING ECONOMISTS UP THERE, THEY'RE NOT GOING TO FACT CHECK IN THE MOMENT. BUT THEY WILL BE ABLE TO SAY THINGS IF HE SAYS OCTOBER 7th THE ATTACK ON ISRAEL WOULDN'T HAVE HAPPENED IF I WAS PRESIDENT, I ASSUME THE MODERATES WOULD SAY YOU KNOW WHAT, THAT'S JUST NOT TRUE, AND THEY WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN ABLE TO DO THAT WITHOUT THE MUTING BECAUSE THE MUTING IS REALLY HELPING THE MODERATORS TO JUST PROCESS WHAT'S BEING SAID. >> BUT IS IT HURTING JOE BIDEN? BECAUSE SOMETIMES AN ARGUMENT COULD BE MADE THAT LETTING TRUMP JUST GO, LOOK RUDE, LOOKING A LITTLE UNHINGED IS ACTUALLY TO JOE BIDEN'S BENEFIT? >> I DON'T BUY THIS NOTION EVERYTHING SOMEHOW IS DOWN TO TRUMP'S BENEFIT. HE LOST IN 2020, IS THAT TO HIS BENEFIT? I DON'T THINK SO. LOOK, IF YOUR SEE WORRIED ABOUT WHAT DONALD TRUMP IS GOING TO SAY, HE'S GOT 45 MORE MINUTES TO REALLY UNDISTINGUISH HIMSELF. JOE BIDEN IS AT HIS BEST WHEN HE IS TALKING TO PEOPLE AND TELLING HIM THINGS. SO SOMEONE NOT BARKING AT HIM FROM 10 FEET AWAY OR NOT BEING HEARD IS COMPLETELY TO HIS BENEFIT. AND ALSO LET'S -- IT'S A KIND OF FUNNY THING GOING ON WHERE THE RULE NOW ISN'T THAT YOU CAN'T INTERRUPT. THAT WAS ALWAYS COMMON SENSE IN HUMANITY, IT'S
