Kamala Harris CRUSHES Donald Trump In ABC Presidential Debate And Gets Taylor Swift Endorsement

Reacting to the Harris/Trump Debate welcome to pod save America I'm John favro she has to drop out what's Tim Walls doing I'm John L I'm John L I'm Dan fer Tommy VOR on tonight's show in Springfield they're eating the dogs the people that came in they're eating the cats they're eating they're eating the pets of the people that live there so that was 30 minutes in to a debate that uh I think by all accounts including people on Fox News Brit Hume KLA Harris won oh yeah uh it was I think the best debate performance against Donald Trump I have ever seen of any of the primary debates any of the seven presidential debates he's participated in I think she uh she she she crushed him this was the moment that people have been waiting for for N9 years right he got he get someone got on stage with him and took him down and he had no response he got angry towards the end he got kind of sad and it was exact it's what people it's what everyone's been wanting waiting for and K Harris delivered tonight Dan do you think it was a mistake to rather than do actual debate prep for Donald Trump to do what he called policy sessions with Matt Gates and tulsy gabard maybe he didn't do enough policy sessions with Matt Gates and tulsy gabard fatal mistake I think love it what did you think the there's a moment that we'll get to where basically KL Harris says I'm not Donald Trump I'm not Joe Biden I'm a new generation of leadership and the closest experience I've had remember when I had to go to the hospital after that show in uh Austin and I was in a lot of pain oh yeah and I was in a lot of and and they didn't know what was wrong but they decided to give me morphine anyway Y and there's this morphine there's this moment where the morphine kind of hits your bloodstream Jesus Christ and um I just think she did great tonight and um just took the Chris Matthews thrill up his leg thing just took it to another level relief it was relief sweet relief they walked out on stage at the beginning and she went to shake his hand she had to like go all the way over to his Podium because he did not want to shake her hand he looked scared she looked in command and that was basically just symbolic of the entire debate because she was in control the entire time I think what is most impressive about the performance and we'll get into all of it is she went into this debate she is the vice president of an incumbent Administration where the president of that Administration is quite unpopular and has been for some time and so there was plenty of uh fodder for Donald Trump and the moderators of the debate to put her on the defense and it very easily could have been a debate where we came out of it and it was talking all about a lot of kamla Harris's positions that she's changed over the years this that the other thing and she just wasn't on the defense in 90 minutes of the debate yeah a very small percentage of the time when she was defending her positions and what she did is she walked in there and realized that she had a Playbook she had the points she wanted to make uh she had the attack she wanted to uh level against Donald Trump she had the uh what she wanted to say about her own plans and her own policies and her own positions and her own values and she did that and every time Donald Trump spoke and rambled and we'll get to that like she didn't she didn't respond to different things that he said and she didn't chase him down the rabbit holes she just sort of responded by doing what she had prepared to do and say she had a plan she W for every single question she went in there and she baited the hook and she dipped it into the water and he took it every time she baited him into talking about his crowd size she baited him into unloading about his court cases and felonies she even baited him into ranting about covid and and ventilator production like things that no world should he be talking about um and uh yeah he looked like a maniac uh so to keep things simp Le here we're just going to go more or less chronologically through the debate pick out what we thought were the most important moments um let's start with uh abortion first big moment of the debate uh was an exchange about abortion where Harris uh jumped all over Trump um because he was saying uh everyone wanted him to overturn row then the discussions shifted to uh talk about a National Abortion ban uh here's how it went one does not have to abandon their faith or deeply held beliefs to agree the government and Donald Trump certainly should not be telling a woman what to do with her body you want to talk about this is what people wanted pregnant women who want to carry a pregnancy to term suffering from a miscarriage being denied care in an emergency room because the health care providers are afraid they might go to jail and she's bleeding out in a car in the parking lot a 12 or 13-year-old Survivor of incest being forced to carry a pregnancy to term they don't want that understand if Donald Trump were to be reelected he will sign a National Abortion ban understand in his project 2025 there would be a National Abortion a monitor that would be monitoring your pregnancies your miscarriages I'm not in favor of abortion B but it doesn't matter because this issue has now been taken over by the state but if I could just get a yes or no because your running mate J JD Vance has said that you would veto if you did come to your well I didn't discuss it with JD in all fairness uh JD and I I don't mind if he has a certain view but I think he was speaking for me but I really didn't here's what I can't understand there the Trump campaign and Donald Trump went through Great Lengths to say that at one point he would veto a National Abortion ban and he basically in a national debate just decided to walk that back make news on his abortion stance which is something that they have been trying to avoid for some some time now what was going on there I don't think he's on camera saying I would veto a National Abortion ban I don't think he's ever said that I think that the the campaign has come up behind and cleaned up after something he said in the past but he has studiously avoided being on camera saying that he has said he would not sign one yeah he is because there's been this iteration of this where was F the first answer was it will never come to my desk and then that was seen as insufficient and then it was I won't sign it right he said I one time right and then the campaign has said I didn't realize it was Jetty Vance but the campaign has and I thought Trump had said it but the campaign is answered questions to say that they would veto it cuz when JD Vance said it on a Sunday show they said JD Vance reiterated the Trump campaign's position his right but he never right but but when he the point I think that what when he has said in the past some version of I won't sign it he is saying it's not going to happen it's not coming to my desk I'm not going to sign it that's not going to happen he's never explicitly said if it's passed I will veto it there's two reasons this happen the first one is he went out last week and said he would vote for the abortion amendment in Florida and he got smacked on the nose by the far right abortion extremist who run the Republican party and so I think he now hesitant about that because he would I think they were pretty the the phone lines blew up people made you know essentially threats about tur about Evangelical turnout in the Battleground St so I think he's scared there the other reason is he's a 78-year-old pretty dim declining man and he doesn't really know what he's doing and he was knocked off his game pretty early there this is a a theme of the entire debate is like there were a couple debates with Hillary Clinton in 2016 Trump was ranting and raving in those debates he would lie a lot in those debates but he made a little bit more sense back in 2016 um than he than he did tonight he made more sense in 20120 the first debate with the co was when he had Co it was a little brain yeah little brain fog there but he really just sort of lost the plot uh on a lot of these answers but he didn't seem prepared I mean I I think that's the theme of this whole thing I I was kind of kidding about prepping with Matt Gates and tulsy Gabbert and doing policy sessions but like KLA Harris was prepared for every single answer she had practiced she was she knew how to look in the cut shot right she knew how to call him a liar with her eyes her face her smile and Donald Trump did not seem prepared and just to to sort of like big picture this abortion answer David Pluff tweeted 40o difference with undecided voters on their abortion answers widest Gap I've ever seen in debate dials what debate dials are is campaigns uh do what are called test basically you can figure out in real time if undecided voters or whoever is you know behind the dials like or dislike an answer he's saying that the voters the distance between the voters on the Trump answer and Comm Harris's answer was the widest he's ever seen this is a very experienced campaign operative so that was a masterful answer from K Harris and you know we've been talking about how one challenge the Harris campaign and Democrats have had is convincing voters that not only is Donald Trump responsible for um the Supreme Court majority that overt turn roie Wade but that he would uh actually pass an abortion ban that's what they've been trying to say and Donald Trump's been trying to run away from that and now at a national TV audience of I don't know how many tens of millions of people he basically left open the idea that he would sign a National Abortion ban I mean six of the seven Battleground states have either abortion amendments already in the Constitution or Democratic control of the governorship or and or the legislature to protect abortion rights in those States and so if you want people to care about they got to understand that we need we have to defeat Donald Trump otherwise it doesn't matter who your Governor is doesn't matter what your state law says you can you can still lose your reproductive freedom in your state under Donald Trump so the other thing that Harris did in this debate is she went in with um you know mostly a plan to talk about her plans um and to contrast with Donald Trump's policies but she also had a some some a strategy to get under his skin a few times in a sort of subtle way that didn't look like it was too too planned or too artificial I guess it definitely looked planned but it wasn't artificial um and and this was one of the first moments let's listen I'm going to invite you to attend one of Donald Trump's rallies because it's a really interesting thing to watch you will see during the course of his rallies he talks about fictional characters like Hannibal Lecter he will talk about windmills cause cancer and what you will also notice is that people start leaving his rallies early out of exhaustion and boredom and I will tell you the one thing you will not hear him talk about is you and I'll tell you I believe you deserve a president who actually puts you first and I pledge to you that I will she said people start leaving people don't go to her rallies there's no reason to go so she can't talk about that people don't leave my rallies we have the biggest rallies the most incredible rallies in the history of politics so what was the original question about we didn't know we we we were going through the clips we like what was that in response to immigration obviously obviously of course Donald Trump because there's we're going to talk about the Republicans all complaining about the moderators Donald Trump had an opportunity to talk about kamla Harris and Joe Biden's record on immigration which poll show is Trump's best issue and she wisely pivoted right to this rally line and he just took the bait just didn't even talk about immigration off the top went right to the rally stuff immediately is like when Bugs Bunny draws a tunnel on the side of a brick wall and then moves the road over and he's like got to follow the road unbelievable it also makes you wonder I mean like sometimes you see you know ads that are created for Twitter and a Twitter conversation like Obama doing the kind of hand gesture that looks like he's talking about Dick eyes but he says crowd size and then you have to wonder did that get in his head because he sure seems mad about it these days he was well the funny the the the one of the many fun things about this debate was watching Donald Trump get progressively angrier with each passing minute he didn't start that way and then he just got angrier and angrier and angry they all at a dog and he was hungry I also thought it was just great in that that you know when in her rally bit when she looked at the camera and she did this a few times in the debate and said like he has no plan for you right because that is it's fun the the big challenge for her in this debate was it's fun to get under Donald Trump's skin right it makes us excited it makes throws Donald Trump off his game all that kind of stuff but you also want to deliver your message that's going to actually move undecided voters and the part that's going to move voters is he has no plan for you and I do and here's how I'm going to improve your life and she she wo that in really well in a lot of these like rehearsed bits so it wasn't just to like get under his skin and that was it there's a way to just Club Donald Trump over the head that is cathartic right but she did she did it in a way that's constructive to her Campaign which is the I think the most impressive part about this debate performance so um we know from the polling that the uh the big lie is one of the most unpopular parts of trump shtick but you know what he uh he stuck with it tonight uh David Mir tried to get Trump to admit that he actually lost the 2020 election uh based on some recent statements where he sort of appeared to concede that maybe he lost would not do it uh and then KLA Harris jumped in with this Donald Trump was fired by 81 million people so let's be clear about that and clearly he is having a very difficult time processing that but we cannot afford to have a president of the United States who attempts as he did in the past to upend the will of the voters in a free and fair election and I'm going to tell you that I have traveled the world as vice president United States and world leaders are laughing at Donald Trump I have talked with military leaders some of whom worked with you and they say you're a disgrace and when you then talk in this way in a presidential debate and deny what over and over again are court cases you have lost because you did in fact lose that election it leads one to believe that perhaps we do not have in the candidate to my right the temperament or or the ability to not be confused about fact that's deeply troubling and the American people deserve better what do we think about that guys tell me it's pretty good that was pretty good I mean also he he then gives this long defensive response and I saw someone tweet this and I can't remember who it was and I'm sorry for stealing your joke but it's very funny and weird that Trump refers to them just as j6 like they're a K-pop band you know and as Tim Miller pointed out at one point when he was talking about them storm in the capital he said we we yeah we he said we there's um you know do when do you want to talk about the moderators uh go for it so there's look I I think it's a great sign that Democrats feel like they want a cigarette and Republicans are like the moderators us like I think that's like a great sign like which is it's their only response it's their only response Laura Ingram all the rest of them they're all saying oh the moderators it's the moderators it's the moderators it's the moderators Josh Holmes the whole all of them if you went through and look at the questions that the moderators asked KLA Harris they were where do you differ with Joe Biden on immigration why did you not focus on this problem since the last six months how have your why have your positions changed so dramatically since you ran for president 2020 she got a bunch of hard questions but she had a plan for each of those questions because they thought about what would happen if she would ask them and how to turn them to her advantage and turn them to Donald Trump uh she made hard questions look easy Donald Trump made hard questions look impossible and like over and over again like that is what happened over the course of this debate David M basically it it is I guess for Trump a hard question you've now admitted you lost the election uh a a a rational actor would take that and say well we because we shouldn't be talking about that David we got to talk about what we're going to do for the country there's a hundred things a rational actor in the position of Donald Trump would do with a question like that but he turned it into actually this an incredible choir of people and we got to we got to Pardon a bunch of these people and uh and and like kind of goes on a rambling TI raade that she can she had a fully prepped answer for but you can see that there were like seeds of debate prep that must have happened because he did that whole rambling response at the end he goes but none of that matters anymore we got look forward he did it was in there it was in there for sure I also there will be complaining about the moderators and the factchecking but the to the extent there was factchecking it was things like actually sir uh nowhere in this country can you murder babies actually sir there is no evidence that they're eating dogs this is what made me so makes me so annoyed like Donald Trump and KLA Harris went back and forth on tariff policy and and taxes and immigration all this kind of stuff they didn't fact check any of that even though Donald Trump lied a whole bunch of times during that policy section right but but yeah when you talk about people e the Haitian immigrants eating dogs which is just wrong Facebook you know or or the fact that the election was was stolen which is wrong like yeah you know what they have to fact check Donald Trump because he's telling really really big lies that are obious be embarrassing for them as journalists to sit there and to say uh well you know we'll have to teach the controversy on whether Haitian immigrants are stealing dogs and eating them and Li is it like ight people you know what I mean when you tell people that Democrats are murdering babies after they're born that leads to people doing crazy things yeah violent things right um and also just the complaints about the moderators it reminds me of like some people after the Biden Trump debate was like oh it was the moderators they didn't call out Trump's lies and at the time it's like no it wasn't about them not calling out Trump's lies Joe Biden had an opportunity to go after Trump and didn't take that opportunity and tonight the same thing happened Donald Trump had Donald Trump spoke I think the final tally was more than kamla Harris he had plenty of time to go after kamla Harris to prosecute the case he didn't prosecute the case because he couldn't and by the way every time Donald Trump said I need to respond I need to respond he did there were times where KLA Harris wasn't given that chance I actually don't think that's a fa like that's how it goes in a debate you're making decisions on the fly like I think in both in the Biden Trump debate and in the KLA Harris Trump debate these were moderators that asked pretty tough questions fact checked where necessary here and there and mostly got out of the way and in both debates it was the candidates that were responsible for what happened in that debate again on that immigration question that he turned into a response to her on his rallies the initial question was you you know President Biden you signed this executive order to close the border like why did you wait three and a half years Donald Trump could have gone back to that the moderator yeah it was the debate equivalent of served this as a Wendy's I mean it really was yeah um there was a foreign policy question they talked about the war in Ukraine they talked about fistan uh and the moderators also brought up Gaza uh it was interesting to hear what Donald Trump had to say about it uh here it was she hates Israel at the same time in her own way she hates the Arab population I mean if that's true that's that's a problem it's I just like that because it's such a perfect encapsulation of who Donald Trump is and like what his politics are it's like it's a divisive issue some you know there are some there are some Arab Americans and Palestinian Americans matter her there is ALS but there's also a potential to get some Jewish Americans matter at her I'm going to say that she hates I want I want to suppress the vote in Michigan but I want the Jews in Florida so I got to say she hates them all right yeah he uh yeah it was a pandering to everybody and making sense to no one he also like his key kind of National Security validator that he kept mentioning is Victor orbon who's the Quasi dictator in Hungary who is very famous in kind of like right-wing CPAC Republican circles but unknown to everybody else and that was another theme throughout the night that we actually talked about on the Monday Tuesday pod which is Jake Tapper came on CNN and said that many of Trump's answers were forchan posts come to life and that is exactly right like Donald Trump he lives in truth social he speaks this right-wing language and that if you if you are not fluent in it you do not know what he's talking about half the time I mean we we watch his rallies and they're this is what they are this is how he talks all the time there is no in you know we we I think we all probably went back and watched at least portions of the 2016 and 2020 debates what is different now is his brain is fully pickled he does not have a fox speed and an everyone else speed he only has Fox speed and it's even like it's even actually it's more like Newsmax these days than Fox yeah and it's just you can't no persuadable voter who watched this would understand 90% of what he was talking about yeah no there The Washington Post convened uh 24 undecided voters and they were asking them did you understand what the answer Trump just gave I forget what the question was and one of them said I I couldn't follow anything that he was saying right there wouldn't it be nice to kind of understand or maybe live for one day as the two people that thought Trump won the debate out of that group of undecided like what's it like to walk in your shoes yeah what happened we got the we got the CNN post debate poll by the way on who won uh 63% Harris 37% Trump sounds about right that sounds fine that sounds about right remember on uh when those advisers uh told the New York Times that their goal is to get uh Happy Trump policy Trump Happ to happy Trump was this happy Trump did they win did they get happy Trump and John do your point on speaking time Stephanie Ru at MSNBC tweeted that kamla Harris spoke 23 times for 37 minutes Trump spoke 39 times for 41 minutes moderators were unfair unfair moderators couldn't couldn't didn't have time to prosecute his case I would say the uh the ugly head of misogyny rears its head again oh boy uh so love it mentioned this earlier but at one point Trump was trying to give an answer on inflation and he walked into a trap a line that I think it's fair to say uh kamla went into the night playing to use let's listen she is Biden the worst inflation we've ever had a horrible economy because inflation has made it so bad and she can't get away with that thank you your time is up I want to respond to that though I want to just respond briefly clearly I am not Joe Biden and I am certainly not Donald Trump and what I do offer is a new generation of leadership for our country H now the morphine was just hitting love it but the rest of the office was all cheering and screaming at that because that is that is the message that's it I I do think like so that was Donald Trump was ricocheting all over the place so that is where he kind of came back to inflation there had been an economic section at the very top of the debate and it was like like the first 10 to 10 or 15 minutes of the debate I thought was like kind almost like I we thought she was doing fine but it was kind of a wash it was just sort of like people argue I didn't like think it was going that well until the abortion section and then on like she was Crush and and he was on the ropes um but it's interesting because it's like then they come back to inflation here and she is so on top of her game by the time you get to this part of the debate that she's just as sort of like ready with this line and it was it was nice I just love whenever she's about to deliver a line that she knows is going to take Trump down we saw this after he questioned her racial identity is she kind of laughs to herself because it's just it's the it is the joyous Warrior Warrior thing that Doug mhof was in here talking about the other day it's the great it's the joy of somebody who had a binder and knows what page they're on it's the joyous wor thing but it's also like KLA Harris and we and and Doug mhof was here in the studio and we talked to him they are still normal people They have not been in Washington that long that they have you know like and so a normal person standing on stage next to Donald Trump When Donald Trump says like that when he talks about eating dogs and cats is going to laugh because it's a crazy thing to say and like we don't have to pretend that you have to compose yourself for when he says something like that of course you're going to laugh of course you're going to laugh when you say I am not Joe Biden and I am not Donald Trump and it's a and it's a new generation and we're going to move forward like that just makes sense and as she laughed I mean you could watch his face go from very very orange and made up extremely caked on to redder and redder and by the end of the debate he was screaming almost all of his an yeah he was Furious shouting he was Furious yeah I would say that it's the like the little chuckle of someone who realizes that can do a double jump and get Kingdon Checkers you know like that sort of like a few moments throughout the debate where it just like oh my god look where he went he doesn't see it bop bop King me yes I like that so much of the punditry leading up to the debate was about like how she might separate herself from Joe Biden like are there polic we talked about this on Tuesday's pod are there policy differences are there decisions that she's going to point to but really all she had to do was in that line like I'm not Joe Biden obvious it was what we talked about right weed about yeah and like I'm not Donald Trump I'm something new I'm a younger generation of leadership and like you don't need to get into the specific policy differences and this and that and whether you support Biden on this or that she just that's all you need well I think I think that's that's like I think that turned out to be more true than we have any right to expect it to be because Donald Trump was so bad at tying her to Joe Biden in this debate right like he missed so many opportunities uh to make this a referendum on the Biden Administration which is what he was supposed to do but didn't have the aptitude to do so she had even more space to basically just sort of separate herself just by being someone new and and talking about the future I mean that's the argument right that she's going to turn the page in New Generation leadership she's going to have to over the course of the next 50 some days here make that argument over and over again to Pro offer the proof points to that in a debate it's one line it's a great line it there are very similar lines in our convention speech but now the test will be it opens the door for these voters now you gotta you got to meet the threshold of change well and there's basically you can tell that there's two moments that Donald Trump had I think that seemed like they were prepared moments or prepared lines at one point she talks about all the people who worked for him that no longer support him that call him dangerous out of touch whatever you know Mike Pence all the rest of them the ad from the part of the ad part of the ad right yeah and then that that they released the week of the debate with Pence and everyone else um and then he said to her well you know what you didn't why didn't your Administration fire anyone because of the Border because of inflation and you could tell it was this prepared line that I'm like oh that's so far that's the only good response Donald Trump has given the entire debate and then at the very end when he gives his closing argument he starts the closing argument by saying like she had three and a half years why didn't she change any of this why didn't which is what the campaign had telegraphed they wanted their message to be and then of course then he then he went on and just rambled and didn't really close didn't he didn't land the plane uh on that closing argument but those are basically like two messages that you can tell they might have practiced but he didn't practice anything else and it showed and it's really like or he did practice but he couldn't execute because like you said his Dan like Dan said his brain is pickled he got angry and then he had to he to you know he just followed her wherever she went but like the fact that he didn't get to a sentence like that until the closing of the debate that should have been in his first answer right she started with a tough question like are you better off than you were four years ago question that like Trump would love uh to be able to dig in on and she went right to her message she went to what her plans her policies her vision that was an opportunity that Trump couldn't take advantage of right like that happened throughout the debate so so uh towards the end of the debate the moderators asked Trump about his plans for ObamaCare um and uh again did not seem to be prepared on that one let's listen if we can come up with a plan that's going to cost our people our population less money and be better health care than Obamacare then I would absolutely do it but until then I'd run it as good as it can be run so just yes or no you still do not have a plan I have concepts of a plan you'll be see and that in an ad that is the question so embar credit to lindsy Davis because she was like so it's been 9 years have you come up with the plan yet you've been talking about repealing Obamacare you've tried 60 some odat times do you have a plan yet and that's the best he had concept of a plan it was interesting because he this was another moment where he they had practiced this in some way shape or form at least the idea that they were going to keep Obamacare and just try to run it better but he just he needs to be the center of it too much so he has to have his own possible plan to replace it he just can't take the obvious answer on the table and he walks right into a trap once again well also the Trap is set by the fact that he knows nothing about Healthcare and so he's never he has never come up with the plan he doesn't know what to talk about he like he just doesn't know but but he's never had a plan to replace Obamacare he has said for years that he had a plan like this is gu gets to the kind of like he's out of practice didn't prep hasn't thought about this in a long time and is older than he used to be like there were a few moments in this debate where he just sounded like a politician one of them was around abortion another was this moment do you have a plan I have the concept of a plan like you're a world class liar just say you have a plan you'll be hearing it soon let after that he said you'll be hearing it soon but also a freshman member of Congress could talk about healthcare for 60 seconds about what possible ideas would be in the plan but he cannot for 5 seconds talk about Healthcare policy so there's nothing he could say there other than concepts of a plan but I think this is where in the coming weeks if if I was her like would expose him right because what you could see after this debate if you were an undecided voter and I haven't listened to the focus groups you had or all that but what they might say is okay yeah like she she seemed commanding she was a little bit like I still don't know enough about what she's going to do versus what he's going to do right like that's what it's going to come down to for people and I think the case that she can prosecute even more than all the fun traps she laid for him is like this guy is full of he has no plan he has no plan for you she said it a couple times tonight and here's what I'm going to do here's what I'm going to do to bring cost down here's what I'm going to do on Healthcare here's what I'm going to do on reproductive rights and this guy he has he has no idea what he's going to do he's going to be L around by the people that he hires who are all extreme crazy people he only cares about himself he doesn't care about you and he doesn't he can't even talk about Healthcare yeah I feel like there was um like the next step that I felt like I didn't hear in the debate like she did the at the beginning she talked about the the child tax credit and a few other things like she was I think hitting like the message but not getting into a lot of the details about like what exactly her plan is versus what his plan is and you know she says 2025 he says it's not my plan like hitting like these are his advisers these are his plans this is exactly what he's going to do here are the details Ad Break postive America is

excited we're we're exuberant right now do we think it it it could move the the race here or what on average the first debate of the last several elections has moved the polls about 1.7% and that includes the Biden Trump debate of earlier this year do we consider this the second debate or the first debate I'm counting this as as a second first debate in the same campaign for that reason um but 1.7% would be a big shift in this race this is the right now the closest race in recent memory and maybe history and so if it were to something like that it would do it the the last big poll movement just I'm not trying to r on anyone's parade here was after the uh first Romney Obama debate the polls moved 4% in one week and then by the by basically by the third week they' moved basically back to where they were before and so this is I think we should think about this as the beginning not the end of her final Pusher right this has opened the door to new voters it's given her momentum can't believe we've gone this far into the bate without mentioning that she got Taylor Swift's endorsement I was jum ahead talking about the debate Dan we're substance people also uh after the debate Taylor Swift posted on Instagram that she's voting for KLA Harris and Tim Walls uh signed the post childless cat lady it's a big win uh it was fantastic the debate the campaign said they didn't know she was going to do that which I assumed was true um but so some people were like thinking about the timing there was no timing Taylor Swift just watched the debate and was like yeah I'm going to vote for well she also said in the post that there was some like AI generated fake endorsements of her and Donald Trump but I think she want to get ahead that yeah the question of I I think we probably shouldn't be looking for some sort of definitive polling bounce I think things to look for are do we start to see fewer voters say I don't know enough about her I don't know what she would do for me on the economy you know I don't know enough about her plans we learned a lot of interesting things tonight I don't think that I knew that K Harris was a gun owner yeah that was news uh I'm also a cop and a gun owner I was very happy a a cop a gun owning cop endorsed by Dick Cheney get let's get of the doors cheating and John McCain's ghost um I was very happy that KLA Harris informed tens of millions of people that Donald Trump invited the Taliban to come hang out at Camp Dave but I bet that was new information that's for you that's a little treat for you yeah in the world of space I bet her uh Ukraine answer was one of the least popular things she said tonight just because people don't love uh sending money to foreign places for Wars but she was smart enough to say that Putin will go into Poland next because she knows a lot of polish Americans live in swing states she knows exactly exact as a prepared candidate yeah like if you look at like the the CBS poll of Pennsylvania that uh they like you know it was what it was like whatever 48 49 48 was really close and basically of all the people like 5% of trump voters said they were open to voting for KLA Harris right and then there was like two or three% undecided if you got half of the undecided voters and 20% of the people that were leaning towards Trump that were open to it you would see what like a point or two change in the in the in the vote in Pennsylvania which means it's like a huge shift in the people that are still deciding would barely register in the polls at this point yeah and look there's voters who were going to say I wanted to know what she's going to do versus what he's going to do there's also voters who were just going to like make their decision based on impressions of the two candidates and she seemed like I would look at the strong leader numbers I would look at the like who's going to bring change numbers in some of these polls you know we'll see what they bring who knows maybe everyone watched and just that the race is still polarized and tight and yeah that's probably the most likely outcome but it also could have gone badly it did not it actually could not have gone better for her I don't think and you know that Trump thinks that too because you know his top surrogates like Lindsey Graham told Tim Miller that the debate team should be fired and Trump was unprepared and he called it a disaster and Trump made an unscheduled visit to the spin room which you don't ever do and then he went on Sean Hannity right like they were Running Scared they look weak JD Vance was talking to Caitlin Collins trying to defend the dogs and eating the dogs and cats I'm here like actually some City geese have gone missing and I would just say that if at the end of a presidential debate about who's going to be in charge of the nukes and Medicare and health care and foreign policy if you're telling CNN that some City geese in Springfield Ohio may have gone missing I don't know that you're where you want to be message wise he was literally defending his posts he used the ter Abed he was he was like City and here's the thing it may not have been true but you know what we wouldn't have had this conversation about immigration if not for our memes the memes were important he literally defended the memes do you think that somewhere right now like I don't know who it is the the all-in guys are having a drunken podcast where they're calling on Trump to be replaced do oh that would be great yeah they they want him to be replaced with a with his running mate if he could go back in time and choose his running mate as not JD man you don't think they like JD are City those guys probably like JD are City geese like the king's deer are you not allowed I mean like I don't think pets should be kidnapped like I don't we're going to really going to cry over a city Goose yeah the the one the one last eat a city Goose I don't care one last thing one last thing we have to cover here after the debate the Harris campaign said we'll see you again for the second debate they basically challenge Trump to a second debate in October meet me in Ohio what do we think's going to happen there do we think like he on Fox they're saying oh they they want a second debate because she lost which just hasn't really passed the smell test um but does he does he it sounds like he agrees to the second debate I think you in the bathroom he wouldn't commit on Hannity he wouldn't commit okay yeah it's going to depend on the polls right this is just how it was well what do you think you think if he's losing he gets the debate and if it doesn't move the polls much he just says no he says no debate I hate to predict what this addled man would do but if you were in his campaign it's hard to see how another debate would help you he's not going to be better well so the other question is where would that debate be because we are running out of networks so it's like it's fox or NBC it's fox or NBC or right here CBS is a network yes no CBS definitely is a network yeah here uh but I do think it's he will be push he will push for a fox debate I I could see him saying fox or bust is what I Max right you could do sure it could be uh Pluto TV uh whatever that is Ruby yeah I mean your options are debate or have JD van so run MSNBC talking about how they're eating hamsters and guinea pigs and Pittsburgh jie is sitting there desperately like don't ask her about her cycle don't ask her what you want to ask you freak absolute freak do we think there's some people in the Harris campaign they're like maybe we don't need another debate we should just go out on top here I think it's great to challenge into a debate than get mired in in the uh technicalities of whether there will be a debate and then see what happens with the polls I think she should I think she wants another debate she should have another debate she is the even after this debate she is the underdog and as the underdog you have to just put your pedal to the metal the whole time do not take it off keep going be the aggressor have the most momentum be everywhere she is so much better than him she benefits so much from the split screen so push for it at every moment if there's any bit of sort of caution and risk aversion in her strategy I think she she would lose his race if she stays the aggressive as she has for much of these first eight weeks here then she absolutely can win I also think that's why they challenged Donald Trump to a debate five seconds after this debate was over yeah yeah okay couple quick Vote Save America things before we go uh there are just 55 days until uh election day um and we need everyone to step up and help because it is going to be a close race if the
