Latest / Project 2028 / Special Episode; Debate Reactions and Analysis
Transcript
- 0:00All right, so the emergency installment of the 2020 politics podcast and wow, what happened last night is
- 0:16relatively unprecedented in the poetry history of presidential debates, whether within the committee for presidential debates or not.
- 0:25We were not planning on doing a podcast, but after watching the first minute and a half of last night's debate, we quickly realized a lot is about to happen.
- 0:38So we're here to talk about that. And the fact that this debate or a debate of this with these ramifications has never happened for present before.
- 0:50Obviously you've stuff comparable to it with Obama versus Romney in 2012 where Obama lost the debate, but nothing even close to the incoherence and the fact that Biden could barely put together a correct syntax last night.
- 1:04So there is a lot that they are going to have to work out. And basically the way this is going to work. I have my thoughts written down that he's paper right now and I share them with you guys.
- 1:13We're going to have L, she's going to report something she's going to share with you guys in Luchana. We'll do the same. You should be hearing this either late on Friday or early on Sunday when it comes out.
- 1:25So that's going to be the structure of this podcast. This is just the intro and I'll get to my thoughts in just a second. Thanks for tuning in guys.
- 1:33All right. So if you're in the Biden campaign right now, there's no real really denying it last night was an un-milligated disaster.
- 1:46And if you're in the DNC, you're probably in cold sweats and you have not slept in the past day and a half and probably won't for the next week. Biden is showing at this debate.
- 2:02On policy was was quite fine, but the fact that all of that policy is good as it might have been for Biden, he couldn't manage to get that out in the coherent sentence. The most people didn't understand them. I mean, like listen listen the Trump right now right now.
- 2:17And I'm going to continue to move until we get the total ban. The total initiative relative to what we're going to do with more border patrol and more asylum officers.
- 2:29President Trump. I really don't know what he said at the end of that sentence. I don't think he knows what he said either.
- 2:34And I mean, that was the opinion of a lot of Americans, CNN held polls, Fox held polls and a restant incredible amount of resounding amount of those swing voters that they had in these little focus group rooms had made their decision right after the debate.
- 2:57And the most of them had decided towards Trump. Biden's showing was subpar to any candidate I've ever seen perform.
- 3:09I don't think I was obviously different than the Obama showing in 2012 with his first debate where he just wasn't kind of prepared.
- 3:16And in the public blowback and just like we were I was watching CNN like probably 11 30 last night and they would have the panel up there. I mean, these are some really democratic people, the one democratic guy.
- 3:29He was literally mourning Joe Biden morning Joe Biden on national television. He was like saying sorry, talking about him is like a father figure and they was just sad.
- 3:37He's at this point I think they're seeing the DNC especially the Joe Biden is not going to be able most likely to hold up another four terms.
- 3:48Oh, let alone probably try to mount a presidential campaign or another debate for that matter. I mean, and you also have to think about the fact Joe Biden spent seven days a whole week at Camp David with him and some prominent political science advisors that know more of what they're talking about in debates than 99.99% of the rest of the world.
- 4:17He had everything that he needed as disposal and the debate performance was still an unmitigated disaster. I don't know his campaign was sinking when they wanted to call these debates what I've heard from a few reporting is that they might have wanted to get it over with because they knew where they're going to have to debate and they wanted to get the bad stuff out of the way first is what I've been hearing.
- 4:37When you're guy woggle onto the stage, it's not good. I think it's bad for the campaign it's bad for Joe Biden and just to move on.
- 4:49You look at the DNC right now and there are a lot of competing ideas.
- 4:55I mean, so my aunt lives in California she received an email yesterday early today from Gavin Newsom saying he was a Porto Biden. But earlier yesterday in Joe, but in Gavin Newsom said, and I quote, I'm playing to step up.
- 5:11That might have been a click to context now. I'm looking at, but there is a lot of pain in the money right now inside the Democratic Party. I'm what to do on what the strategy is.
- 5:25The Kamala State yesterday in her interview with Gavin said in his email was basically that they want to look at the past three and a half years of accomplishments, not the 30 minutes in that debate. I think that's really hard for Americans knowing that.
- 5:37And still, Joe Biden is going to get a more competent or mentally stable from that debate on. I think a lot of Americans have trouble voting in somebody's office that they barely understood. Well, he was talking about the debate.
- 5:53The DNC, I'm pouring another reporting, doesn't seem poised to Ospiden yet, at least. They, you would need to concert it effort. Also, you've to remember Biden has already secured the nomination areas of vote Biden would need to step down or have some make some too, because legally the DNC cannot force Biden to relinquish his role as the running for the next president of the United States from the Democratic Party.
- 6:17And he already has the electors from the primaries and needs the only way he could do it was if he were to step down. And like also listen to this Biden clip. I mean, this does not inspire confidence in Americans.
- 6:31And so, most things we need to do child care, elder care, making sure that we continue to support, it's just that our healthcare system, making sure that we're able to make every single solitary person eligible for what I've been able to do with the, with the COVID.
- 6:47I'll just give me with dealing with everything we have to do with what if we finally be Medicare.
- 6:59Biden president Trump.
- 7:01He did beat Medicaid, beat it to death.
- 7:04I mean, having a week to prepare for a nationally televised debate, you would think Biden could come up with maybe something better than that sentence that was put together.
- 7:15And obviously, you're an attitude to be the amount of pressure on him is unlike any of us have ever felt.
- 7:22But is your job to seize politician to be able to put those coherent sentences together and to have a syntax that people could understand and in a lot of times that debate that did not look like Joe Biden.
- 7:33You had to do that on Trump side really.
- 7:37You're going to see Trump really went after Biden a lot as as we heard had previously for just not making coherent sentences. He called out Biden and he really wanted to go after Biden's crimes.
- 7:53He kept it to the three things he's good at the economy in place, which also would include inflation.
- 7:59The border and just overall crime and security is the three things that Trump really brought it back to a lot in the debate.
- 8:08He really refused to answer some questions regarding whether he would certify the election.
- 8:12The January 6th question line essentially went.
- 8:17He just told the water in. He was talking about the economic status of the United States on January 6th, which had no relation to the fact that he was that they were asking questions about the rioters on January 6th.
- 8:27So there's obviously a bit of a discrepancy there.
- 8:31He was really his policy, according to the reports was actually quite superficial and it was quite, it had much less depth than Biden, but the thing was that he could get it through to the American people.
- 8:46Unlike Biden, I think if you had Biden that had the ability of Trump, I think that Biden might have actually won that debate, but he didn't.
- 8:54Trump's policies weren't the best. He surprisingly barely mentioned his tax cut for all tipped wages, which was something that he's been really going after, especially Nevada, a place where a lot of tips are given around on this Las Vegas strip, just in Las Vegas in general.
- 9:10So Trump's really been trying to heavily advertise that especially in Nevada as the year of campaigning goes on.
- 9:17And also you have to remember that Trump being Trump, who he has had to myriad of false statements. So to Biden, you always have to remember, and I'll mention that in just a second.
- 9:26But Trump, I mean, he broke the fact that machine, there was no fact that machine, which a lot of Democrats wish there was, but he's like, false statements upon false statements upon false statements was essentially Trump logic, but they sounded good in the American people liked it.
- 9:43Well, Biden actually did, was he claimed that the border union had endorsed him, and this was apparently unequivocling not true. He's now, I quote from the Twitter of the border patrol union, which was the one he was claiming endorsed him, and it says, quote,
- 9:59to be clear, comma, we have never and will never endorsed Biden period, and quote, with 5 million views, just just minutes after Biden said that, that doesn't vote well. I don't know what he was thinking.
- 10:15Trump on environment was quite an interesting, actually Biden actually parried a few of his little things. He talked about clean tap water, some stuff that could resonate with a few Americans, but no significant policy goal.
- 10:27Biden tried to get him on parasicords, Trump tried to, you know, kind of steer it away saying that China and Russia would have put nothing into it. Other than that, really, there was a lot more, but we're trying to keep this podcast short, so we can just inform you guys on what happened.
- 10:43You also have to remember, just one more time, Biden asked for this debate. They thought this would be good for Biden, and it was not. I mean, like here, just listen to Biden asking Trump for this debate and tell me why he would have thought this was a good idea.
- 11:00Donald Trump lost two debates to me in 2020. The sense that he hadn't shown up for debate. Now he's acting like he wants to debate me again. Well, make my day pal, I'll even do a choice. Let's pick the day styled. I hear you're free. I'm Wednesdays.
- 11:14Well, it did make Biden's day or it broke Biden's day because now if you're on project it, which is a market's website for politics and other things. So Biden's chance before the debate of securing the democratic nomination, which was already essentially secured, but they were accounting for basically free accidents, so death resignations.
- 11:35And like that, his chance of getting the democratic nomination to become the next president of the United States would be 86%. 30 minutes into the debate, it dropped to 66% is now 60% they always have to remember that this is going to be probably exaggerated in the moment, and it will probably get back more to a baseline, maybe 70% in the coming weeks, and you're going to also see in the coming weeks of reflection in the polls, but I mean, I don't see a scenario in which this debate could have gone worse for Biden.
- 12:04Now, in no means was Trump the baddest best today. If you had a generic Democrat, it probably would have been a pretty mediocre debate with no real fireworks going off.
- 12:16Trump may have been a bit more combated because he had more of competition, but the the Trump that we saw was not the Trump that was interrupting all the time, because the mics from you didn't, I think, is staff trained and well on that.
- 12:30But for Biden, it's an automated disaster. That's kind of my final take on it. And I think he needs as much help as he can get, whether that's getting a new candidate, whether that's trying a new media campaign, though I at this point, the only media campaign that could save him really would be a second debate.
- 12:48Trump wants to do that. They said they would, but you know, he could never happen. Also, just Biden, he's a Biden screws up a second debate. I mean, his chances of entering the overall office again are essentially zero.
- 13:00So, I mean, what do you see? I mean, I've talked with many people who are steadfast that Joe Biden was going win the election, and they were very liberal.
- 13:08And they looked at Joe Biden and they said, there's no way this guy's going to win the election. So I think it's really bad open for the DNC. And I think they need to figure something out. So that's my take. You're going to hear from out in just a second and also Luchana. So yeah.
- 13:38This is the China country. And I will be sharing some opinions from the debate. First, they start by talking about financials.
- 13:52Nothing too exciting there, just inflation economy. And then, I'm starting talking about abortion. So Trump starts by taking credit for the overturning of Rovers Wade. And then he, he says he does this by putting three great justices on the on the Supreme Court who all voted in favor of Oda for turning it, which was, you know, he said that.
- 14:17And then he also says something really interesting, which was he said, and I, he said, and I quote, the problem is that they're radical because they will take the life of a child in the eighth month, the ninth month and even after birth after birth and quote. So this isn't true.
- 14:41You said it, which that's just something that I'm noting. So no abortions are performed after birth. I'm not sure if people are aware of this, but then.
- 14:53You know, he also says, if you look at the former governor of Virginia, he was willing to do this. He said, we'll put the baby aside and we'll determine what we do at the baby, meaning we'll kill the baby and quote.
- 15:08So that's those were some very big opinions that he shared on abortion. And then President Biden says, you know, most the American support this, like this is what we need.
- 15:22He wants to, he wants to bring her back. So that was very interesting. And then Biden says, and I quote, I supported Rovers Wade, which had three trimesters.
- 15:38So he's the first time as between a woman and the doctor, second time as between a doctor in a extreme situation, and third time is between the woman and the state or end quote.
- 15:52So they have very different opinions there, which obviously reflect their parties ideals. There's a little bit of talking over the mics, but you know, that was to be expected. And then the moderators try to turn the topic to immigration and border security.
- 16:14And he starts by saying, President Biden has allowed a record number of migrants to legally cross the border, say to being overburden, lots of safety and security concerns, why should voters solve him to trust the crisis.
- 16:28And Biden says that they want that he worked hard for a bipartisan agreement, and then all that said, he's changed the law. There's 40% pure people coming, it's better than when Trump left office.
- 16:43Trump says, he doesn't Trump then starts with a personal attack saying, and I quote, I really don't know what you said at the end of that sentence. I don't think he knows what he said either.
- 16:54And quote, so he's already starting with the personal attacks going off of Biden's cognitive ability, and then they talk about the, they talk about the border and Trump is saying that people that are coming to a country from prisons, mental institutions and same as islands and their terrorists. So he's saying, like Biden let the border open, he's screwing the country, basically.
- 17:23Biden said that there was only one terrorist, like you're exaggerating your lying, and they argued a lot about this. So that was lots of arguing, lots of arguing and then,
- 17:43Brian, you can cut this out, sorry, I'm just scrolling. Oh, and then they start talking about veterans.
- 17:55And Biden brings up when Biden brings up the fact that Trump said, Trump supposedly said, I don't want to go in there because they're a bunch of losers and suckers when referring to veterans at a
- 18:12world where two cemetery, a world where one cemetery, maybe it was just a veteran cemetery, sorry, Ryan cut that part out. Oops.
- 18:23And then Biden is upset about this and he goes, my son was not a loser. He was not a sucker, you're the sucker, you're the loser.
- 18:31So again, continuing with some of those personal attacks, President Trump, former President Trump then says like that's made up quote, like what are you even saying?
- 18:43So that was, there's a little bit of, you know, banter with that. They talked more about veterans and stuff and then.
- 18:54They would onto foreign policy with Russia's work and to the Ukraine. And so the question was, former President Trump, President Russian President Vladimir Putin says,
- 19:06So only end this war. If Russian keeps the Ukrainian territory has already claimed and Ukraine, a bandage has been to join NATO.
- 19:14Are these terms acceptable to you? Trump says that our veterans and soldiers can't stand him and they think he's the worst.
- 19:24He think he's the worst commander in chief. So that he was saying that about Biden and then he says as far as Russian Ukraine, if we had a real president, a president that knew that was respected by Putin, you would have never invaded Ukraine, which is interesting.
- 19:43So then they talk more about this and then he brings up Afghanistan saying that it was the most embarrassing moment in the history of our country.
- 19:54Personally, I disagree with this. I believe that slavery might have been the most embarrassing moment, just like slavery in general.
- 20:02Many moments that we really are more embarrassing or possibly the trail of tears. segregation was pretty rough when women couldn't vote.
- 20:16I think those things might be a bit more embarrassing, but Trump says, and I quote, no general.
- 20:29I'm sorry, right, and has I never figured what been called. I don't, but then Trump says, and I quote, no general's got fired for the most embarrassing moment in the history of our country, Afghanistan, where he left billions of dollars of equipment behind.
- 20:44We lost 13 beautiful soldiers and 38 soldiers were obliterated and by the way, we left people behind too. We left Americans to distance behind.
- 20:52And quote, Brian, you'll read this out personally. I think it's a little correct, correct, that he's complaining about how 13 people died, which is obviously a tragedy.
- 21:04And calling out there was embarrassing moment in the history of his country, when he low, he like screwed everyone with a COVID.
- 21:10Sorry, that's way too hard, and Ryan, you can take that out. I just had to say it.
- 21:15So yeah, he calls it the most embarrassing moment in the history of the country, really like pushing a lot of blame at Biden for that one. Again, probably not the most embarrassing moment.
- 21:26But then, President Biden says, he's got a fun line here. I've never heard so much from a lucky in my life.
- 21:36So he's really upset. They were arguing about that. They were arguing about Ukraine. So then Trump hadn't answered the original questions or these terms acceptable.
- 21:50And Trump says, no, no, they're not, but this shouldn't have started, and it's Biden's thought they started. So then they talk more about that.
- 22:00And then they move on to the middle east asking if, so.
- 22:10All right. So in, so the moderator says, thank you, moving on to the middle east.
- 22:18No October, him also attacks Israel killing more than 1,000 people and taking hundreds of hostages.
- 22:23Among those held in thought to still be alive are five Americans.
- 22:26It drills response has killed thousands of Palestinians and has created a humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
- 22:31President Biden, you've put forward a proposal to resolve this conflict, but so far, Hamas has not released remaining hostages.
- 22:38And Israel is continuing its military offensive in Gaza. What additional, what additional leverage will you use to get Hamas and Israel out of the end of war? You have two minutes.
- 22:50So Biden is talking about his plan. He says, there's a first stage to treat the hostages for a ceasefire.
- 22:59Second phase is a ceasefire as additional conditions. And third phase is the end of the war.
- 23:05So when he's saying like, Hamas is the only one who wants the word to continue other than that. It's kind of hurting anyone.
- 23:11And I'm sorry, it's hurting everyone, but Hamas is the only one who wants to continue. And he also says that he's really been helping Israel and the only thing he's denied them was two thousand back at bombs.
- 23:25So they talked about that for a bit. And then Trump goes back to Ukraine and argues.
- 23:36And then they start talking about NATO a little bit.
- 23:43And then this is where it gets interesting. So this isn't as you let a lot of people I think has been hoping would be brought up.
- 23:52And so the moderator says, it'll turn to the issue of democracy.
- 23:57And then he talks a little bit more about that. And ends with asking, what do you say to voters who believe that you violated the O through actions and inaction on January 6th and where they don't do it again.
- 24:15And Trump says, well, not many people believe that.
- 24:18And on January 6th, we had a great border.
- 24:23Nobody was coming through very few on January 6th. We were in an energy independent on January 6th. We had the lowest taxes ever.
- 24:30So he talks more about how we were doing good on January 6th. And then we were screwed, which is, you know, interesting.
- 24:38He hasn't really entered the question at this point. So the moderator prompts him again and he says, well, and Trump says, like, well, I don't say that to anybody. I say peacefully, patriotically.
- 24:50So they were talking more about that. And Biden says he encourages this folks to do that.
- 24:58Like, he encourages us to do that. It's his fault, basically. And then they talk.
- 25:08So everybody, and you can cut this part out. I'm just pulling it more of my notes.
- 25:14Oh, so this was really interesting. I was, this is a little funny, but I was upstairs getting water.
- 25:33And popcorn when this happened and the friend that I was watching the debate with just started screaming because she thought this was hilarious, which it's a little funny.
- 25:43So they were talking about how Trump was a convicted felon. And Trump was kind of trying to like, push that aside.
- 25:54And Biden says, Biden says, and I quote, the idea that I did anything wrong relative to what you're talking about is outrageous.
- 26:04It's simply a lot, number one. Number two, the idea that you have a right to see contribution against any American, just because your president is wrong.
- 26:12It's simply wrong. No presence ever spoken like that before. No president in our history has spoken like that before.
- 26:19Number three, the crimes that you all are charged with. How many of the civil penalties do you have?
- 26:25How many billions of dollars do you owe in civil penalties for molesting a woman in public for doing a whole range of things of having sex with a porn star on the night?
- 26:35And while your wife was pregnant, I mean, what are you talking about? You have the morals of an alley cat and quote.
- 26:43So that was Loki, correct, correct.
- 26:47But Biden basically started going for the personal attacks, which, in bringing, he brought up because they were talking about the colonies and this definitely,
- 27:00I think if there's going to be a topic where it was hard to stay away from personal attacks, it would be this one. Let's face it.
- 27:07Because this wasn't really bad any of Trump's policies, it was about something he did.
- 27:12So Biden brought that up by saying, you molested a woman, you did a whole range of things.
- 27:18It's actually a porn star while your wife was pregnant. Trump robots this by saying, you didn't have sex with a porn star.
- 27:24The case was started and moved, it's going to be over-peat. Like, starting and moved, and we had a horrible judge.
- 27:34So he's kind of like pushing all that aside. He doesn't deny molesting a woman.
- 27:41So, you know, anyone, just, just, it's not really denying molesting a woman.
- 27:52And that's pretty bad, and you'd hope you didn't do it.
- 27:56Anything could be hadn't done it. He would deny it. But, well, anyway, move it on.
- 28:05They talk more, and, right, you can cut this part out again, just more notes. Oh my God, my eye is freaking itchy.
- 28:16I'm allergic to everything, but damn it.
- 28:26So, and then commercial break.
- 28:30Yeah, so they talk about racial issues with Dana Batch, a moderator saying, let's talk about
- 28:42how persistent challenges you will face in your first terms, and you secondly face again in your second.
- 28:46President Biden, while Black and an amendment dropped to a record low under your pregnancy, Presidency.
- 28:52Well, Black families still earn far less than White families.
- 28:57But, mothers are still three times more likely to die for pregnancy related causes.
- 29:02And Black Americans are imprisoned at five times the rate of white Americans.
- 29:07What do you say to Black voters who are disappointed you haven't made more progress?
- 29:11And then Biden basically says, we have made a lot of progress, and then you start talking about several things he's done to try and help with racial issues,
- 29:20like providing housing for Black Americans and giving them grants when they're applying for a home.
- 29:29So, that was, sorry, not grants. Oh my God, words, egg.
- 29:34But giving them a 10.000 tax credit.
- 29:37And then President Trump is saying, well, you know, he calls the inflation, which is killing Black families and Hispanic families, and it is fall because now they're having less money.
- 29:49So then they talk a lot about the economy.
- 29:54Right, I'm not talking about the economy. You can be happy about that as much as you want.
- 29:58It is boring.
- 30:00But, sorry, it's not what you need to talk about it. But when I try and you have about the economy, it's just like, girl, bye.
- 30:08So anyway, and then they talk about, so they ask about the climate crisis and Trump just starts going back and talking at the police.
- 30:20So he doesn't really answer that.
- 30:22But then they prompt him again, and he says, he wants clean water, clean air, and then he's saying the Biden basically screwed him over.
- 30:33And Biden says, well, I know where the hell he's been.
- 30:37But, so they're talking about that.
- 30:42Biden starts saying, like, you dropped out of the pair's piece of cords.
- 30:45Like, what did you expect? It's going to happen.
- 30:47So they talk about the environment more.
- 30:50They do that.
- 30:53They do that.
- 30:54They talk about social security.
- 30:56Nothing too crazy there.
- 30:59I thought that the personal, this is not really to any specific topic, but just that I thought that the personal attacks were a little more intense than I pictured they would be.
- 31:10But also there was a bit of talking over the mics, but not as much like screaming over them, because I thought there would be.
- 31:19So both of those things are interesting.
- 31:22And, yeah, the talk about taxes a bit, because Biden says it's not fair that upper classes are paying.
- 31:35So a little lower classes are paying so much.
- 31:38And then, the start of the opioid crisis, more than 100,000 Americans are dying from overdoses every year.
- 31:51And then, they start blaming, they basically blame everything on each other.
- 31:57And I think that, and then they mentioned the concerns that people would have.
- 32:04So, for Biden, it's his age, and he says he basically says, like, I've proven that I'm competent.
- 32:12So like, what do you think is going to happen?
- 32:17And then, you can imagine the same thing to President Trump, and he says that he takes cognitive tests, cognitive tests, cognitive tests.
- 32:26Maybe I need a cognitive test. I can't even speak.
- 32:29Physical tests, all of that stuff, and he plays golf. And then, this is really funny.
- 32:35They start yelling in each other about his, well, first of all, Biden says, you're going to see he's 65, and only 220, 25 pounds.
- 32:45And then, they start talking about playing golf, which is absolutely hilarious.
- 32:54They start yelling in each other about who's better at golf. So again, there were definitely a lot of things that were unrelated.
- 33:05But then, they also asked Trump, were you pledged tonight that once all legal challenges have been exhausted, you will accept those also this election, regardless of who wins.
- 33:16And you will say, right now, the political violence in any form is an exception.
- 33:21And unacceptable. He doesn't exactly say, which is, he doesn't say yes.
- 33:34So I'm just going to suggest everyone kind of avoids the capital area on January 6th. We never know what might happen.
- 33:40But he doesn't completely agree to that. You kind of twist the topic around, and so the moderator has to prompt again.
- 33:49And he goes, oh no, no, no, just let me finish. I said, and he doesn't actually like answer. So, you know, they do that. They talk more, and then they deliver closing statements.
- 34:06And then, Biden basically says, like, tax it. Biden talks about taxes and medicine. And then President Trump talks about Biden, F. G. Anastand, little bit of like foreign stuff.
- 34:31And all the things he thinks Biden's fucked up. But, oh, Ryan had it at out, please. He starts talking about all the things that he thinks that Biden has messed up.
- 34:43So they do that. And then, yeah, they, that's kind of what they talk about. They end there. And yeah. So a lot of people have things to say.
- 34:58First off, I think that President Trump was 100% of better speaker when we got up there. 100% but then, so the things he was saying,
- 35:11I think he really paid attention. You were like, no, no, that's not actually logical. For instance, the abortion after birth. Right now, might be a good times like adding that clip, if you could. But abortion after birth, which was, it's not something that happens, but I think he said it was.
- 35:36And it's not really, but that was kind of interesting. So if you're focusing more on how they present themselves, you might think that Trump did a better job.
- 35:44But if you kind of listen to some of the things, you're like, oh, that doesn't exactly make sense. And I'm not saying that Biden did a good job. He didn't.
- 35:52He was flustered and freaking out and he could sense how anxious he was. And I think that just wasn't a good luck. And he just didn't.
- 36:03It didn't seem right. So now, lots of people are saying that they think that President Biden should drop out at the Democratic National Convention.
- 36:13They said that if he wasn't selfish, this is what he would do. He'd drop out. He'd give someone else a chance. So when it would actually beat Trump, which I think is really interesting. I think it's going to make for a crazy, crazy period of time till the Democratic National Convention.
- 36:30So those are my thoughts. And it's just stay tuned for the next Democratic and Republican National Convention.
- 36:40That's what we'll hear about Trump's VP candidate and then obviously the next debate. And the election, which is, I want to say, like six months away, which is low key crazy. Probably like five, right? I don't even know.
- 36:55So yeah, stay tuned for all that and keep checking out our podcast. Bye.
- 37:02Hi. I'm going to be sharing my thoughts and opinions on the first debate for the 2024 election.
- 37:31This was a debate between the Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump and the Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden.
- 37:44So people really wanted to see from Biden a performance that showed that he isn't loving his age effect him and that he will be able to less another four years in office.
- 37:58And he had a very underwhelming performance in the debate. His presence did not clear up any questions that his age or his capability.
- 38:12And as soon as he walked on stage, he seemed sluggish. We found out earlier this morning that he had a apparent cold last night.
- 38:23And that is responsible for his clear voice, which was present throughout the debate.
- 38:34They did have water with them. So it wasn't that he was perched as they were given water. It was something else. So it very much so could be that he had a cold as we heard this morning.
- 38:50People from both sides and voters who don't know who they're writing for or unsure are even more worried about his ability and we're not eased by his performance at the debate.
- 39:11On the other side, for President Donald Trump avoided the important parts of questions and didn't really give much insight on what he will do as president during the debate.
- 39:30However, he has said a lot of what he will be doing out of the debate and in social media or in interviews or at presidential rallies or whatever else he might be present at.
- 39:47So to not hear his from the heart or like from his own words, his policies and what he planned to do as president was sad and I would have loved to see that and hear that.
- 40:06And I know other people were really interested in his takes on some topics that were brought up that he just didn't touch on. Now there was a lot of fabricating of truths and completely making up things and why's from both candidates on stage and base.
- 40:28The debate is being fact checked and a lot of things are coming out as this was never true. This statistic isn't right. We saw this from both sides and both candidates, however, it was very present in Trump's responses to a lot of questions.
- 40:51Now this is not to say that Biden was Biden was not also guilty of fabricating the truth or making up things, but it was seen more from Trump.
- 41:07So the next thing I want to talk about is the questions that were asked but were either not fully answered or were avoided or the response just didn't really make sense for the question.
- 41:24So the first question and there were a lot of these and the clips will be inserted. Either rather say them or at the end I'm not 100% sure how we're going to do that but clips of the questions being asked will be interpreted.
- 41:42So one of these questions was how the candidate would make childcare more affordable. People were really interested in this as it's become cheaper in a lot of states for one parent to not work and take care of the child.
- 42:04Then both parents work into pay for childcare. Another question that was asked but not answered to its fullest was how the candidates would help specifically African Americans and black people living in the United States.
- 42:23This was again another question that people really wanted to hear Trump's response on. Donald Trump has been pulling better than Biden with African Americans and people really wanted to hear what Trump would do to continue helping African Americans and not just African Americans but people in under paid under privileged conditions.
- 42:51People who are under the poverty line and he didn't answer this question and it was left with a lot of uncertainty and empty promises it seems that were made in the past.
- 43:12When both candidates were asked on their stance with climate change and what they will do to continue making progress in America and really cleaning up pollution and cleaning the water.
- 43:34The answer is given by both candidates were less than helpful and less than informative for viewers and listeners.
- 43:46In not just this question but a lot of questions Trump started by saying that when he was president the climate was so much better and he really focused in on how he had really clean water.
- 44:04And then again not just in this question but throughout the debate he would then criticize the way Trump hasn't Joe Biden either undid the work he did or didn't continue it.
- 44:20And he would then continue it how it should have been continued or what Joe Biden did during his administration and a future plan was never really discussed and Trump's policies were never touched on in topics specifically climate change which was not talked about.
- 44:44These type of avoidance we saw all night throughout the debate with Trump he did not seem to give his personal opinions or what he will do as president to fix issues.
- 45:01And instead he was more focused on pointing out what Biden did during his presidency that Trump would have never done. We saw this when they talked about the worst going on with Russia and Ukraine and also in the Middle East.
- 45:15And he was a part of the climate that Trump believes neither of these words would have been started or been going on for as long as they have been under his administration. Now I talked a lot about Trump and how he handled questions but Biden did not do much better or really any better of a job explaining his opinion and saying what his administration will be doing to help.
- 45:42And I think it was a lot of the same questions and they went back to a lot of the same topics for a foreign president Trump he really was passionate and talked a lot about immigration and how he doesn't like what Biden has been doing with the border and how he will be enforcing special slash sultan dogs he said.
- 46:11And I think that the border to sniff out people trying to legally cross the border in vehicles or cargo or anything like that.
- 46:23And the topic of immigration kept being brought up by former president Trump.
- 46:30The closing statements from both candidates were not the most memorable. Let's just say that from Trump we had a lot of talking about what Joe Biden did that he wouldn't do or what would never have happened if he was elected as president in 2020.
- 46:59He really just said that everything that he being Trump did during his first presidency was unseen before it was new it was innovative and that what Biden did was basically going back on everything Trump did.
- 47:22And Biden's closing statement he talked a lot about how we don't have a fair taxis done and what he would do that Trump wouldn't do or what Trump is going to do or plans to do that he would not do.
- 47:40There were a lot of memorable moments in the debate closing statements not being one of them. There's three that I've heard people talk a lot about on social media and I really like stuck out to me while I listened to the debate for the first time.
- 48:01The first of these is the topic of Trump being a convicted felon and his trial was not brought up enough or even in the right ways.
- 48:17Biden did touch on how he had sex with a porn star which isn't even the important part of the trial or his conviction and it was not brought up much by anyone.
- 48:32Trump touched on it maybe once or twice but very briefly same with the moderators and that was kind of bad the next memorable moment was the debate on who was the worst president.
- 48:47It was a back and forth at least multiple times whilst having their two minutes to discuss topics. It was a lot of arguing that I'm the better president no you were the worst president many people have said I'm the better president yada yada it got tiring.
- 49:07The last specific event that was memorable was their golf debate on who would win in a golf match or who has a lesser handicap or whatever the told debate was strange and should not have taken place on the debate floor.
- 49:26I'm going to talk about is how the debate has made people who are very certain on their stance and who they were going to be voting for.
- 49:38Who we're going to vote for Biden that after his performance at the debate have started to question if you should even be running a lot of people have talked about him stepping down and either the governor of California Gavin Newson would take his place as the Democratic candidate and a lot of people are in favor of a.
- 50:07The Democratic candidate is not running for the Democrats in this election that will be happening in November and on the other side.
- 50:21The performance by Trump is not being talked about as much. People are not delighted with his performance however he did win the debate. There is no question that he had about our performance then Biden.
- 50:37Right now everyone who was thinking about voting for Trump or is fairly certain they will be voting for Trump is not questioning that that is a pretty solid candidate in their mind because of how poorly this debate was done by current president Biden.
- 50:58And I believe it at that I think just to really wrap up my points here that this was not a strong debate from either side. However, there is a clear winner Trump won this debate.
- 51:14Biden did not clear up his questions and Trump was able to avoid answering hard questions and that was a very good strategy for him in this debate.
