[00:00:01] [SPEAKER_10]: FCB Faith is your rhythm and praise station. I listen, my mom listens, pretty much the whole family.
[00:00:55] [SPEAKER_02]: Listen to FCB Faith on iHeartRadio, Odyssey at FCBFaith.com or tell your smart speaker to play FCB Faith on iHeartRadio.
[00:01:40] [SPEAKER_00]: Well, hey everybody. Welcome to the show today. I am doing on the fly recording because my sound equipment blew up today as I sat down to record.
[00:01:51] [SPEAKER_00]: So I wanted to play clips from the debate and maybe break down a couple of things. That's not going to happen. I have none of my sound options available to me.
[00:02:00] [SPEAKER_00]: I don't have time to work around this. I really want to get on the record about this debate.
[00:02:05] [SPEAKER_00]: And I don't know that I'll take a whole lot of time to do this today, but there were some things I wanted to talk about, break down what I saw last night in case you didn't see it and you're only watching reports today.
[00:02:17] [SPEAKER_00]: And you might not be sure how to think about it. It's really interesting. I did a breakdown on my substack of the Tucker Carlson, what was that guy's name? Cooper? David Cooper or somebody Cooper?
[00:02:32] [SPEAKER_00]: Daryl Cooper interview where Tucker was talking to this guy that everyone's saying is a Nazi apologist and people were going nuts.
[00:02:40] [SPEAKER_00]: So I went and watched the interview myself. I broke it down on my substack. I declined to do that for JLTY. So you'll have to subscribe to the substack to hear about it.
[00:02:49] [SPEAKER_00]: But one of the reasons why I did that was because I was watching the breakdowns of that interview and I didn't know what to think about it.
[00:02:59] [SPEAKER_00]: So I can tell what people really thought. I knew that there were some people who were saying this guy's a Nazi. So I knew what they thought. But then there were other people, I wanted to hear them say no, he's not.
[00:03:12] [SPEAKER_00]: But it seemed like their breakdowns were really nuanced and complicated. And I thought this isn't a good sign. So I decided to watch myself and view it myself.
[00:03:22] [SPEAKER_00]: When I viewed it, I realized why everyone was saying, well, it's a lot more nuanced than is he isn't he.
[00:03:28] [SPEAKER_00]: And it is, although not in the in a way that should be disturbing to you. I think the short answer if you want to know the short answers. No, Tucker Carlson is not a Nazi and I didn't see that in the interview.
[00:03:39] [SPEAKER_00]: But go to my substack. I feel the same way about this, this debate. A lot of people are going to be saying a lot of things and you might not be sure quite how to feel about it unless you saw it yourself.
[00:03:53] [SPEAKER_00]: Because we're all used to talking in circles these days. So I'm going to tell you what I witnessed last night without the benefit of sound clips.
[00:04:00] [SPEAKER_00]: But you can go look that up. Actually, what I'll do is I'll have Darvio in the show notes include a link to the the highlight reel I was going to play from Sky News.
[00:04:13] [SPEAKER_00]: I was looking for a good one today. And you know, you have to depend on NBC and CNN. But Sky News is usually pretty responsible.
[00:04:20] [SPEAKER_00]: So I'll have Darvio link that you can go look and you can see the recap. You don't have to watch the entire debate. It was boring, by the way.
[00:04:27] [SPEAKER_00]: I'll start with that. It was boring. It was a match up that we were all anxious about for obvious reasons, but it didn't really live up to perhaps the excitement that was surrounding it.
[00:04:42] [SPEAKER_00]: But I don't know if even excitement is the right word. Would you say you were excited for this debate? I don't think the excitement is the right word.
[00:04:48] [SPEAKER_00]: I think anticipation. People wanted to see we knew how Trump handled Biden.
[00:04:54] [SPEAKER_00]: So now we want to see how he handled this next person that they threw at us.
[00:04:58] [SPEAKER_00]: And of course, we've got the whole specter of Kamala Harris woman, woman of color, black woman.
[00:05:05] [SPEAKER_00]: Oh, that came up last night. We'll talk about that. I think it's fair to point out that Kamala never has ever said she's black.
[00:05:13] [SPEAKER_00]: I think it's fair to point that out. And ABC did address the question like last night.
[00:05:19] [SPEAKER_00]: And guess what? She didn't say she was black. She didn't confirm it.
[00:05:24] [SPEAKER_00]: She didn't deny it. She didn't tell Trump he's being ridiculous. Of course, she's black. None of that.
[00:05:31] [SPEAKER_00]: What have I always said? This is why I don't I don't call Kamala Harris the first black whatever.
[00:05:36] [SPEAKER_00]: She doesn't think she's black. You all understand this? She doesn't.
[00:05:40] [SPEAKER_00]: It absolutely is OK for Trump to question this because if that's what she's running on,
[00:05:45] [SPEAKER_00]: the progressive left is running her as this as this first black.
[00:05:51] [SPEAKER_00]: First, that's our whole thing. Black woman. That's their whole thing.
[00:05:58] [SPEAKER_00]: So, yeah, if she doesn't think she's black, then it certainly matters if that's a platform of her campaign, which it is because she barely has a platform.
[00:06:09] [SPEAKER_00]: So, yeah, there's that. I'll start with this.
[00:06:12] [SPEAKER_00]: I wrote a few notes here. I was going to go off the clips, but again, that's not going to happen. Sorry about that.
[00:06:17] [SPEAKER_00]: All right. What did I think going into debate? The debate needed to happen.
[00:06:23] [SPEAKER_00]: A. I think Trump needed to focus and get out the information that he needed to get out.
[00:06:28] [SPEAKER_00]: And Kamala needed to not be Joe Biden.
[00:06:32] [SPEAKER_00]: And I think they ultimately both of them did that.
[00:06:39] [SPEAKER_00]: I will say if I had to pick a winner and I really can't, I really can't.
[00:06:43] [SPEAKER_00]: I don't think anybody won. I don't think anybody won this debate.
[00:06:47] [SPEAKER_00]: If I had to pick if I was going to crown a winner based on our expectations and what was delivered,
[00:06:53] [SPEAKER_00]: I would say, yeah, Kamala would win just because that's what the mainstream media is going to say, because she accomplished her goal.
[00:06:59] [SPEAKER_00]: Right. She didn't fall flat on her face. She didn't sound like an idiot to me.
[00:07:03] [SPEAKER_00]: It seemed very obvious she had all the questions ahead of time.
[00:07:06] [SPEAKER_00]: And I don't think I think if you watch that debate, that should be clear.
[00:07:10] [SPEAKER_00]: And the moderators were also debating Trump, which was also very clear.
[00:07:15] [SPEAKER_00]: Kamala told nothing but lies. And I'm not saying that as some kind of bitter Republican.
[00:07:21] [SPEAKER_00]: Oh, all they do is lie. You know, every time Trump talks, the left's just like he's just lying, but they can't tell you his lies.
[00:07:27] [SPEAKER_00]: They don't know what the lies are. They don't know the real information.
[00:07:30] [SPEAKER_00]: They just know to say he's a liar. So I'm not saying it like that.
[00:07:34] [SPEAKER_00]: I was listening to what she was saying. I've been reporting on her administration, the administration she's been in for three and a half years.
[00:07:42] [SPEAKER_00]: And she just flat out lied up there with no hesitation and definitely no pushback.
[00:07:50] [SPEAKER_00]: A couple of times she said America is not in combat anywhere. That's not true.
[00:07:53] [SPEAKER_00]: A couple of times she said she said she'd never wanted to ban fracking.
[00:07:59] [SPEAKER_00]: That's not true. She's on record multiple times. They didn't push back on that.
[00:08:03] [SPEAKER_00]: Those are just a couple of the things. It was just everything she said when Trump said, oh, this isn't what she used to believe.
[00:08:09] [SPEAKER_00]: She would say, oh, that's not true. How do you combat that?
[00:08:12] [SPEAKER_00]: If the moderators aren't willing to say, actually, Vice President Harris, there is video of you in 2020 saying this, shall we go back to it?
[00:08:22] [SPEAKER_00]: You know, what can you do? Trump did what he could do. Trump had to focus and get out information.
[00:08:27] [SPEAKER_00]: She had to not be a complete moron. They both did the task.
[00:08:32] [SPEAKER_00]: There was a couple of fun moments in there. One moment I think I was waiting.
[00:08:39] [SPEAKER_00]: Now, let's back up and talk about the rules of this debate.
[00:08:44] [SPEAKER_00]: Trump agreed to the rules of mics that would be cut.
[00:08:51] [SPEAKER_00]: So no interrupting each other. Same Biden rules basically.
[00:08:55] [SPEAKER_00]: At the last minute, ABC announced that they would open up the mics if they thought that it would be necessary.
[00:09:05] [SPEAKER_00]: So if they thought that it would be helpful or the candidates needed to interrupt to defend themselves, they would open the mics.
[00:09:11] [SPEAKER_00]: And I thought, OK, of course, that's coming from Kamala right there.
[00:09:16] [SPEAKER_00]: You know, they they realize that not giving Trump a chance to be bombastic and interrupting would be a negative for Kamala because all she has is her.
[00:09:28] [SPEAKER_00]: Yes, Queen, don't interrupt me. I'm talking. That's all she has.
[00:09:31] [SPEAKER_00]: I know she went in there with the idea that she was going to pull that out and Trump got to it first.
[00:09:40] [SPEAKER_00]: Ultimately, I think ABC realized they were going to be helping Trump with that rule.
[00:09:45] [SPEAKER_00]: And it didn't. It made no difference.
[00:09:47] [SPEAKER_00]: Actually, Trump took great advantage of the open mic rule after they opened the mics.
[00:09:52] [SPEAKER_00]: He took great advantage of it.
[00:09:54] [SPEAKER_00]: And also, I don't think that.
[00:09:59] [SPEAKER_00]: I don't think that opening the mics served someone like Kamala well because she couldn't take advantage of it.
[00:10:12] [SPEAKER_00]: So Trump was taking advantage of it. So when she would say a lie, he was saying, hang on, hang on, hang on.
[00:10:16] [SPEAKER_00]: And they would let him interrupt. She couldn't do the same because she's not qualified to do that.
[00:10:21] [SPEAKER_00]: So she can only answer the question she's prepared for, obviously.
[00:10:25] [SPEAKER_00]: And you can tell the couple of times that she had to answer off the cuff.
[00:10:29] [SPEAKER_00]: She was confused and she had to go back to her prepared statements.
[00:10:33] [SPEAKER_00]: So I think they hope that would work against Trump.
[00:10:36] [SPEAKER_00]: It didn't. And I think actually this format favored Trump despite the fact that they were trying to make it favor Kamala.
[00:10:44] [SPEAKER_00]: Now, I'll tell you what was clear to me.
[00:10:46] [SPEAKER_00]: The strategy when I went in, the strategy of ABC to me, I felt was to let Trump have as much time to talk as possible.
[00:10:56] [SPEAKER_00]: Their idea was that the more he talks, the more trouble he can get himself in and let Kamala be as quiet as possible.
[00:11:03] [SPEAKER_00]: By the way, if you're a campaign consultant, not a bad strategy, which clearly the mainstream media are de facto campaign consultants for Democrats.
[00:11:11] [SPEAKER_00]: Not a bad strategy. I still think Trump mastered it.
[00:11:16] [SPEAKER_00]: I still think it was a mistake to do that, although I'm not sure what else he would do.
[00:11:23] [SPEAKER_00]: You can't let Kamala speak off the cuff because she's a weirdo.
[00:11:26] [SPEAKER_00]: You have to hope Trump's a weirdo.
[00:11:28] [SPEAKER_00]: Trump sounds an artful.
[00:11:30] [SPEAKER_00]: I talk about this all the time on this show.
[00:11:33] [SPEAKER_00]: He's not a diplomat. He argues strangely.
[00:11:36] [SPEAKER_00]: His words are awkward.
[00:11:38] [SPEAKER_00]: But I've learned over the years, and I think the rest of America is catching up, that when he speaks and he sounds strange to not dismiss it, but to ask, well, is what he's saying true?
[00:11:50] [SPEAKER_00]: So at some point, that Springfield, Ohio story came up with the pets eating pets.
[00:11:56] [SPEAKER_00]: And that was another section where the ABC moderators decided to intervene for Kamala and do some fact checking with Trump.
[00:12:04] [SPEAKER_00]: And they said, oh, we talked to the city manager and he said, there's no problem.
[00:12:07] [SPEAKER_00]: Obviously, we're journalists. We just made a call. We didn't go get on the ground and talk to people.
[00:12:11] [SPEAKER_00]: Why would we do that?
[00:12:12] [SPEAKER_00]: We just called a bureaucrat.
[00:12:14] [SPEAKER_00]: So that's what they did.
[00:12:16] [SPEAKER_00]: And Trump said something about, oh, they're eating.
[00:12:18] [SPEAKER_00]: He's so funny.
[00:12:19] [SPEAKER_00]: They're eating the pet.
[00:12:20] [SPEAKER_00]: They're eating the cats.
[00:12:21] [SPEAKER_00]: They're eating the dogs.
[00:12:23] [SPEAKER_00]: It sounds weird.
[00:12:24] [SPEAKER_00]: And if you already hate Trump, it's great to look at that and go, oh, look how crazy he is.
[00:12:31] [SPEAKER_00]: But you have to ask yourself, is it true?
[00:12:34] [SPEAKER_00]: Is it true?
[00:12:35] [SPEAKER_00]: And I think a lot of people watching Trump up there, as awkward as he may have sounded, are asking themselves the same question.
[00:12:43] [SPEAKER_00]: But is it true?
[00:12:46] [SPEAKER_00]: Well, all Kamala gave was platitudes.
[00:12:48] [SPEAKER_00]: And I think Americans, we're facing a stark reality wherever you live today.
[00:12:53] [SPEAKER_00]: So I think Americans are sort of fed up.
[00:12:58] [SPEAKER_00]: They're sort of fed up with this, the platitudes and the diplomatic speak.
[00:13:03] [SPEAKER_00]: Okay, Trump's awkward.
[00:13:04] [SPEAKER_00]: Fine.
[00:13:04] [SPEAKER_00]: Can he solve the border crisis?
[00:13:08] [SPEAKER_00]: Can he bring my manufacturing job back to the U.S.?
[00:13:10] [SPEAKER_00]: I think that's far more important to most Americans and even most Americans watching this.
[00:13:19] [SPEAKER_00]: I want to tell everybody, I want to explain something.
[00:13:26] [SPEAKER_00]: Most Americans don't watch presidential debates.
[00:13:29] [SPEAKER_00]: And even though this is an unprecedented time with unprecedented candidates, and this has been a crazy election cycle since 2016, let's face it.
[00:13:41] [SPEAKER_00]: The reality is most Americans still aren't watching.
[00:13:44] [SPEAKER_00]: Most Americans did not watch that debate.
[00:13:46] [SPEAKER_00]: Most Americans will not even hear about the debate.
[00:13:49] [SPEAKER_00]: Now I know what you're saying to yourself is, well, Kira, the mainstream media is going to clip this up and they're going to see the clips and they're going to see the headlines.
[00:13:55] [SPEAKER_00]: Right.
[00:13:55] [SPEAKER_00]: The Americans that watch clips and headlines will see that.
[00:13:59] [SPEAKER_00]: They'll see that stuff.
[00:14:00] [SPEAKER_00]: Most Americans are not watching that.
[00:14:07] [SPEAKER_00]: They're on TikTok watching the clips of the people at that Springfield, Ohio meeting, at that city council meeting, begging their city council to save their pets and do something about the 20,000 people that just got added out of the blue to their population of 40,000 people.
[00:14:28] [SPEAKER_00]: That's what those voters are watching.
[00:14:31] [SPEAKER_00]: So to a certain extent, this is interesting.
[00:14:33] [SPEAKER_00]: It's good for political nerds like you and maybe for one or two people out there that may have moved the needle.
[00:14:38] [SPEAKER_00]: But for the most part, no, people aren't making their decisions based on debates.
[00:14:43] [SPEAKER_00]: And I doubt anyone will make a decision based on this debate.
[00:14:46] [SPEAKER_00]: I think the only way that this debate could have been that effective, not effective, but effective, is if one of them completely face planted like Biden did.
[00:14:59] [SPEAKER_00]: Right.
[00:14:59] [SPEAKER_00]: You have a big face plant and then everyone's going get out.
[00:15:03] [SPEAKER_00]: So that wasn't going to happen.
[00:15:05] [SPEAKER_00]: I did World Net Daily's coverage last night.
[00:15:08] [SPEAKER_00]: We did a live stream.
[00:15:09] [SPEAKER_00]: WND has their restructuring and they're out of Idaho now.
[00:15:14] [SPEAKER_00]: I got online and streamed with them last night.
[00:15:17] [SPEAKER_00]: At the beginning, the host, Matt Edwards said, I was actually surprised by the tone and tenor of the CNN host at the CNN Biden Trump debate.
[00:15:28] [SPEAKER_00]: I think most people were impressed with them.
[00:15:31] [SPEAKER_00]: Little pushback for Biden.
[00:15:33] [SPEAKER_00]: And I wonder if we're going to get that same if maybe the tide has turned on this and we're going to get that same sense of professionalism from ABC.
[00:15:42] [SPEAKER_00]: And I said, no, of course not.
[00:15:44] [SPEAKER_00]: Of course not.
[00:15:45] [SPEAKER_00]: Why would they do that?
[00:15:46] [SPEAKER_00]: The only we know now that the only reason they did that is because they were hoping Biden would fall apart.
[00:15:51] [SPEAKER_00]: Why would they want to help Kamala fall apart?
[00:15:54] [SPEAKER_00]: They wanted Biden to fall apart.
[00:15:56] [SPEAKER_00]: They needed to get him out so that they all conspired to do that.
[00:15:59] [SPEAKER_00]: And they did it.
[00:16:01] [SPEAKER_00]: They don't accuse me of having a conspiracy theory when the result was proof of that conspiracy theory.
[00:16:07] [SPEAKER_00]: The result is what the conspiracy theory was.
[00:16:09] [SPEAKER_00]: So they did it.
[00:16:11] [SPEAKER_00]: Why would they want to make things harder for Kamala?
[00:16:13] [SPEAKER_00]: No, no, no, no.
[00:16:14] [SPEAKER_00]: Of course not.
[00:16:15] [SPEAKER_00]: And that's exactly what happened.
[00:16:16] [SPEAKER_00]: Of course, they moderated for her.
[00:16:19] [SPEAKER_00]: They stepped in for her.
[00:16:20] [SPEAKER_00]: They rescued her.
[00:16:21] [SPEAKER_00]: They didn't press her on things.
[00:16:23] [SPEAKER_00]: They didn't fact check her.
[00:16:25] [SPEAKER_00]: And yeah, it was pretty much what I expected.
[00:16:28] [SPEAKER_00]: I don't I know a lot of conservatives are upset.
[00:16:32] [SPEAKER_00]: I'm not upset because I didn't expect anything else.
[00:16:35] [SPEAKER_00]: But I saw Stephen Miller Redsdys, not Trump Stephen Miller, but pundit Stephen Miller on Twitter say today,
[00:16:45] [SPEAKER_00]: if you're upset about the bias from the ABC moderators, just know that this is because this happened because no one pushed back
[00:16:55] [SPEAKER_00]: on Donna Brazile handing Hillary Clinton the questions for her debate.
[00:17:01] [SPEAKER_00]: Republicans never followed up on it.
[00:17:03] [SPEAKER_00]: They never demanded justice for that.
[00:17:06] [SPEAKER_00]: They never demanded an investigation.
[00:17:08] [SPEAKER_00]: They got away with it.
[00:17:09] [SPEAKER_00]: And so they're going to keep doing it.
[00:17:10] [SPEAKER_00]: So, of course, Kamala had the questions ahead of time.
[00:17:13] [SPEAKER_00]: Of course she did.
[00:17:16] [SPEAKER_00]: I felt like you don't need to be a professional political commentator to see that.
[00:17:22] [SPEAKER_00]: But then when I logged into my Facebook, I saw a lot of my liberal friends and family just being so excited about how Kamala did.
[00:17:29] [SPEAKER_00]: So I was like, OK, I guess it's not that obvious.
[00:17:31] [SPEAKER_00]: But to me, I guess to a trained eye, it seems obvious.
[00:17:36] [SPEAKER_00]: And you can tell that by comparing off the cuff answers with answer the few times she got pressed for something.
[00:17:43] [SPEAKER_00]: Let's see what I have here in my notes also.
[00:17:48] [SPEAKER_00]: I think another sign of how disgustingly biased this was is not a single question about the assassination attempt of former president Donald Trump.
[00:17:58] [SPEAKER_00]: That was a mere not even two months ago.
[00:18:00] [SPEAKER_00]: One of the biggest events in world history, an unprecedented event, an event that affects this particular election cycle and even the female candidate up there because it involves the Secret Service and whether or not they can do their job and what will happen.
[00:18:16] [SPEAKER_00]: Not one single question.
[00:18:17] [SPEAKER_00]: They didn't ask one single question about the assassination.
[00:18:23] [SPEAKER_00]: And by the way, today is 9-11.
[00:18:28] [SPEAKER_00]: Today is the anniversary of the worst terror attack on American soil.
[00:18:33] [SPEAKER_00]: Not a peep last night from the moderators about that or asking those two people who are vying to be the leader of this country, asking them what they thought about the occasion to weigh in on it and maybe to extend their comments to the larger global war on terrorism.
[00:18:52] [SPEAKER_01]: Not a single question.
[00:19:01] [SPEAKER_10]: I listen.
[00:19:02] [SPEAKER_10]: My mom listens pretty much the whole family.
[00:19:53] [SPEAKER_02]: Listen to FCB faith on iHeartRadio, Odyssey at FCBfaith.com or tell your smart speaker to play FCB faith on iHeartRadio.
[00:20:05] [SPEAKER_00]: There were no questions given, and this is why I think this debate makes no difference to the electorate at large.
[00:20:13] [SPEAKER_00]: There were no questions that had anything to do with what regular Americans are experiencing.
[00:20:22] [SPEAKER_00]: And ABC News never pressed them.
[00:20:26] [SPEAKER_00]: Trump, to his credit, always brought up the common man.
[00:20:29] [SPEAKER_00]: Every answer worked back to the common man, the working man, the working class, what families can put on their table.
[00:20:36] [SPEAKER_00]: Everything led back to that.
[00:20:38] [SPEAKER_00]: The border.
[00:20:39] [SPEAKER_00]: Is your school crazy?
[00:20:41] [SPEAKER_00]: Can you afford your groceries?
[00:20:42] [SPEAKER_00]: Is gas going crazy?
[00:20:43] [SPEAKER_00]: She wants to ban fracking.
[00:20:45] [SPEAKER_00]: Hello, Pennsylvania.
[00:20:46] [SPEAKER_00]: He talked a lot about that, which I think was really good.
[00:20:49] [SPEAKER_00]: He knew where he was.
[00:20:50] [SPEAKER_00]: She didn't.
[00:20:52] [SPEAKER_00]: She tried.
[00:20:53] [SPEAKER_00]: She did her lab banning fracking.
[00:20:55] [SPEAKER_00]: Who me?
[00:20:56] [SPEAKER_00]: What?
[00:20:58] [SPEAKER_00]: She tried.
[00:21:00] [SPEAKER_00]: But he brought it back to that every time because he knows those are that's Pennsylvania is a swing state.
[00:21:06] [SPEAKER_00]: This year is the swing state.
[00:21:08] [SPEAKER_00]: So I was impressed by how well Trump was able to focus that and always pull it back to that because he understands the game here.
[00:21:16] [SPEAKER_00]: It's Michigan and Pennsylvania, and those were the people he was specifically talking to.
[00:21:22] [SPEAKER_00]: He made sure to drop back all his points to those things that affect those voters, but all of us.
[00:21:29] [SPEAKER_00]: The pipeline oil pipelines, clean energy, the border, the cost of groceries and gas, that kind of stuff.
[00:21:36] [SPEAKER_00]: Again, no mention of 9-11 or the assassination attempt.
[00:21:41] [SPEAKER_00]: And honestly, what could what would Kamala have to say to those things?
[00:21:45] [SPEAKER_00]: The Americans understand.
[00:21:47] [SPEAKER_00]: This isn't a regular year where we could look at a guy like Obama and go, well, yeah, everything's kind of worse.
[00:21:53] [SPEAKER_00]: But gosh, it would be so cool to have a black president.
[00:21:56] [SPEAKER_00]: I have a little, you know, gut it out for 48 years.
[00:22:00] [SPEAKER_00]: I can do that.
[00:22:02] [SPEAKER_00]: We are we no longer even have that luxury.
[00:22:06] [SPEAKER_00]: We're no longer even that well off in the Obama era.
[00:22:10] [SPEAKER_00]: We're now in a place where people in a tiny town of 40,000 are having to go to their city council meetings and beg for help because illegal aliens are eating their pets.
[00:22:21] [SPEAKER_00]: That's where we're at.
[00:22:23] [SPEAKER_00]: And these people don't watch CNN every night.
[00:22:28] [SPEAKER_00]: They're not the very online people.
[00:22:31] [SPEAKER_00]: They're not watching every debate.
[00:22:32] [SPEAKER_00]: They're not watching the trial of President Donald Trump.
[00:22:38] [SPEAKER_00]: They're not watching Rachel Maddow.
[00:22:41] [SPEAKER_00]: They're not. They're living their lives.
[00:22:43] [SPEAKER_00]: They're surviving day to day.
[00:22:45] [SPEAKER_00]: Their heads aren't in the news.
[00:22:47] [SPEAKER_00]: Their heads aren't in the talking points.
[00:22:49] [SPEAKER_00]: They're living real life.
[00:22:50] [SPEAKER_00]: And that's most of America right now.
[00:22:51] [SPEAKER_00]: That's the one thing that's working against the Democrats.
[00:22:57] [SPEAKER_00]: I will say what else do I want to say here?
[00:23:01] [SPEAKER_00]: Trump, I think Trump looked good.
[00:23:05] [SPEAKER_00]: He looks tired.
[00:23:09] [SPEAKER_00]: I'll say this.
[00:23:10] [SPEAKER_00]: I'm going to get a little serious here.
[00:23:12] [SPEAKER_00]: I'm worried.
[00:23:13] [SPEAKER_00]: And you guys know I never say this.
[00:23:15] [SPEAKER_00]: I never talk like this because I believe in hope and I believe in I believe that it's wrong to be fearful and operate out of fear.
[00:23:29] [SPEAKER_00]: I'm not fearful, but I'm worried.
[00:23:32] [SPEAKER_00]: I find it hard to believe that if Trump wins and if this gets to be a fair election, he will win.
[00:23:37] [SPEAKER_00]: I have no doubt about it.
[00:23:40] [SPEAKER_00]: I don't know if they're going to let him.
[00:23:43] [SPEAKER_00]: And I think he knows that too.
[00:23:46] [SPEAKER_00]: I don't know if they're going to let him.
[00:23:51] [SPEAKER_00]: And then what will happen?
[00:23:54] [SPEAKER_00]: Because you and I might be fine to just gut it out for another four to eight years and hope the country is still here by the end of it.
[00:24:03] [SPEAKER_00]: But there's a lot of other people in different places in this country who are done.
[00:24:08] [SPEAKER_00]: And they don't depend on the government for their safety, and they never have.
[00:24:12] [SPEAKER_00]: So they don't give up.
[00:24:14] [SPEAKER_00]: You know what?
[00:24:15] [SPEAKER_00]: They will take up arms and fight if they feel pushed hard enough.
[00:24:18] [SPEAKER_00]: And that's what's concerning me.
[00:24:22] [SPEAKER_00]: So if you're a praying person, we're always tasked to pray for our leaders, which I do.
[00:24:29] [SPEAKER_00]: And I always pray my prayer is because you don't want to pray like God let them be a Republican or you know, that's not it.
[00:24:35] [SPEAKER_00]: I always pray that God would just surround them with with godly and wise counsel and that their hearts would be turned towards the American people.
[00:24:42] [SPEAKER_00]: That's always my prayer.
[00:24:43] [SPEAKER_00]: So no matter who it is.
[00:24:45] [SPEAKER_00]: So but I think if you're that person, maybe add to your prayer list that we get to experience free and fair elections.
[00:24:52] [SPEAKER_00]: I believe if we can, Trump will win.
[00:24:55] [SPEAKER_00]: Trump will win.
[00:24:56] [SPEAKER_00]: And we can go from there.
[00:24:58] [SPEAKER_00]: But if there is even a hint of foul play, I think it's going to be trouble.
[00:25:04] [SPEAKER_00]: So I'm concerned about that.
[00:25:05] [SPEAKER_00]: And when I look at Trump, I feel like he's concerned as well, which I think is why he picked JD Vance, right?
[00:25:10] [SPEAKER_00]: And not another Mike Pence.
[00:25:12] [SPEAKER_00]: You get Trump out of the way and then you get this typical swamp creature and they just play the game.
[00:25:18] [SPEAKER_00]: But JD Vance is sort of Trump Jr.
[00:25:21] [SPEAKER_00]: At least what they're grooming him for.
[00:25:23] [SPEAKER_00]: So there's that I'm a little worried and watching the way the moderators acted last night.
[00:25:31] [SPEAKER_00]: I just am realizing even more so how desperate the left is.
[00:25:35] [SPEAKER_00]: They know she's going to lose.
[00:25:37] [SPEAKER_00]: They know.
[00:25:38] [SPEAKER_00]: They know and they're doing everything they can to not let that happen.
[00:25:44] [SPEAKER_00]: So what else are they willing to do?
[00:25:45] [SPEAKER_00]: That's what's worrying me.
[00:25:46] [SPEAKER_00]: That's what's concerning me.
[00:25:49] [SPEAKER_00]: So my solution now is to pray.
[00:25:51] [SPEAKER_00]: So pray and we will we will ask God to take this election into his hands.
[00:25:57] [SPEAKER_00]: That's what we can do.
[00:25:59] [SPEAKER_00]: And it's not for nothing, by the way.
[00:26:01] [SPEAKER_00]: That's a very powerful thing.
[00:26:03] [SPEAKER_00]: One other thing I want to note.
[00:26:07] [SPEAKER_00]: Last night after the debate, Taylor Swift endorsed Kamala Harris.
[00:26:11] [SPEAKER_00]: Now, Kamala has been running for almost two months.
[00:26:14] [SPEAKER_00]: She's been the vice president for three and a half years.
[00:26:17] [SPEAKER_00]: I wonder why Taylor Swift waited until last night to endorse Kamala Harris.
[00:26:22] [SPEAKER_00]: I think this is another sign of A, how relieved the left is about what happened last night and B, how much they distrust her.
[00:26:32] [SPEAKER_00]: Taylor Swift is not an idiot.
[00:26:34] [SPEAKER_00]: She has the image to control and she's not going to put the full weight of her influence, her social media influence behind a bunk candidate.
[00:26:42] [SPEAKER_00]: You're just going to waste all that capital.
[00:26:44] [SPEAKER_00]: You don't want to do that, right?
[00:26:46] [SPEAKER_00]: So she was waiting to see if Kamala pulled a Joe Biden.
[00:26:49] [SPEAKER_00]: If Kamala totally fell on her face last night, believe me, Taylor Swift was not going to endorse her.
[00:26:55] [SPEAKER_00]: But I do think it's a sign of how the progressives saw or viewed the debate that Taylor Swift then came out and endorsed Kamala Harris.
[00:27:08] [SPEAKER_00]: Neither here nor there, not a shock, just an observation.
[00:27:11] [SPEAKER_00]: Obviously, if Taylor Swift was going to do an endorsement, it obviously was going to be the Democrat.
[00:27:17] [SPEAKER_00]: I think the question was whether or not she would do it.
[00:27:20] [SPEAKER_00]: I also think it's a sign of how worried they are as well.
[00:27:24] [SPEAKER_00]: I think they're also seeing that Kamala doesn't look keen to get over that finish line.
[00:27:29] [SPEAKER_00]: And there's going to have to be a lot of effort into going into making America believe that she has crossed the finish line.
[00:27:38] [SPEAKER_00]: All in all, the more I think about it, the more I have to say, I'm sure Kamala was on drugs of some sort.
[00:27:45] [SPEAKER_00]: But a lot of politicians do that during debates just to keep their nerves down and keep that body language sort of even.
[00:27:53] [SPEAKER_00]: But the more I thought about it, the more I thought, well, you know, Kamala did what she was supposed to do.
[00:28:00] [SPEAKER_00]: It's the best I've ever seen her look.
[00:28:02] [SPEAKER_00]: She actually looked good. I liked her suit. She looked so frumpy.
[00:28:06] [SPEAKER_00]: Progressives want to replace every man with a woman.
[00:28:10] [SPEAKER_00]: They want to make every man into a woman and they want to make every woman into some androgynous mess.
[00:28:17] [SPEAKER_00]: It's so weird. She's an attractive woman.
[00:28:20] [SPEAKER_00]: Like put her in a pencil skirt. I don't understand.
[00:28:23] [SPEAKER_00]: Anyway, she looked OK. She had her hair done.
[00:28:26] [SPEAKER_00]: She had a fresh color.
[00:28:28] [SPEAKER_00]: She was calm.
[00:28:30] [SPEAKER_00]: She was as poised as she could be when she was speaking, which was not very much.
[00:28:35] [SPEAKER_00]: I'd be interested to hear what the breakdown was of their words.
[00:28:39] [SPEAKER_00]: How many words he said? How many she said?
[00:28:41] [SPEAKER_00]: She didn't say a lot. So they kept her from speaking too much and too long.
[00:28:46] [SPEAKER_00]: She never used all of her time, which is something Biden did.
[00:28:52] [SPEAKER_00]: I can tell she was coached to use that face.
[00:28:55] [SPEAKER_00]: That was what she was going to have instead of the ability to be like, yes, Queen, I'm speaking.
[00:29:03] [SPEAKER_00]: Which, by the way, it was so great when Trump got it in.
[00:29:06] [SPEAKER_00]: She tried to interrupt him and he said, excuse me, I'm talking.
[00:29:11] [SPEAKER_00]: Does that sound familiar?
[00:29:12] [SPEAKER_00]: Excuse me, I'm talking now.
[00:29:15] [SPEAKER_00]: And guess what? She shut up.
[00:29:17] [SPEAKER_00]: That's what I noticed. Whenever Trump instructed her to do something, she did it.
[00:29:22] [SPEAKER_00]: There's a couple of times. There's another time when she told her, excuse me, when he told her, excuse me.
[00:29:28] [SPEAKER_00]: What was that? I can't remember now.
[00:29:30] [SPEAKER_00]: But he told her, no, excuse me.
[00:29:34] [SPEAKER_00]: I'm not finished. Stop talking.
[00:29:36] [SPEAKER_00]: And she did.
[00:29:39] [SPEAKER_00]: I know. I don't know if you noticed it. I noticed that she was very keen to obey him.
[00:29:43] [SPEAKER_00]: So there was a couple of times which I think ran really hollow.
[00:29:48] [SPEAKER_00]: I don't think anybody took her seriously where she talked about how Trump is disrespected and he's weak and the world knows he's weak.
[00:29:54] [SPEAKER_00]: And you have to be a strong, possessed leader in order to deal with these despots and authoritarians.
[00:30:02] [SPEAKER_00]: You know, and she's the one who's letting her debate opponent tell her what to do on stage.
[00:30:08] [SPEAKER_00]: And then there was one other time, the only time she tried to interrupt, he said something.
[00:30:14] [SPEAKER_00]: What was it? What were they talking about?
[00:30:16] [SPEAKER_00]: And they had kept giving Trump ins and he kept taking them.
[00:30:21] [SPEAKER_00]: And she wanted to interrupt. I think it was on the Afghanistan withdrawal.
[00:30:26] [SPEAKER_00]: And they didn't let her.
[00:30:28] [SPEAKER_00]: They refused to let her in.
[00:30:30] [SPEAKER_00]: And then they finally and they had just let Trump go on and on for like five minutes.
[00:30:34] [SPEAKER_00]: And they said, excuse me. No, no, no, Vice President.
[00:30:37] [SPEAKER_00]: We're going to move on. We're going to move on.
[00:30:40] [SPEAKER_00]: Which in a regular election cycle, I might say, oh, hey, good for them.
[00:30:44] [SPEAKER_00]: They needed to keep it moving. But I'm pretty sure it's because they knew she didn't have anything intelligent to say and they didn't want to risk it.
[00:30:51] [SPEAKER_00]: So they hurried her along.
[00:30:53] [SPEAKER_00]: They did everything they could to help her considering that Trump was debating three people.
[00:30:57] [SPEAKER_00]: And he's been out there campaigning every day.
[00:31:00] [SPEAKER_00]: And he's out there giving interviews, unlike his opponent.
[00:31:03] [SPEAKER_00]: And he's doing press conferences and he's doing rallies considering all of that.
[00:31:08] [SPEAKER_00]: I think Trump looked very possessed.
[00:31:10] [SPEAKER_00]: He did the I think he did as well as could be expected.
[00:31:13] [SPEAKER_00]: And honestly, I think the only thing he had to do last night was to get out information.
[00:31:19] [SPEAKER_00]: And this is what I keep pressing upon people.
[00:31:22] [SPEAKER_00]: You need to understand that this is a debate on ABC News.
[00:31:26] [SPEAKER_00]: The type of people who are tuning in besides us, right, political nerds, the type of people who are tuning in are people who would never hear Donald Trump speak live anywhere else.
[00:31:37] [SPEAKER_00]: They get their news from the New York Times and CNN who have already told us they refuse to cover Trump without context.
[00:31:43] [SPEAKER_00]: Right. They get their news from TikTok headlines.
[00:31:46] [SPEAKER_00]: They get their news from their Facebook friends, their echo chambers that they have set their algorithms to reflect.
[00:31:52] [SPEAKER_00]: That's where they get all their news.
[00:31:53] [SPEAKER_00]: So they think they know.
[00:31:56] [SPEAKER_00]: They think they already know what's happening at the border.
[00:31:58] [SPEAKER_00]: They think they know what happened in Trump's trial.
[00:32:00] [SPEAKER_00]: They think they know about the assassination.
[00:32:02] [SPEAKER_00]: They think they know about Hunter Biden's laptop.
[00:32:04] [SPEAKER_00]: They think they know about the Keystone pipeline.
[00:32:07] [SPEAKER_00]: They think they know about fracking and they don't.
[00:32:12] [SPEAKER_00]: And a lot of them are shocked to hear some of this stuff.
[00:32:14] [SPEAKER_00]: They've never heard it.
[00:32:15] [SPEAKER_00]: My daughter was shocked to know that 1,300 people died on October 7th in Israel.
[00:32:20] [SPEAKER_00]: A lot of people are.
[00:32:22] [SPEAKER_00]: Right. There's a lot that people don't know.
[00:32:24] [SPEAKER_00]: So for Trump, what he had to do, he had to do two things in my opinion.
[00:32:28] [SPEAKER_00]: He had to speak to the energy sector in the Rust Belt and the Bible Belt.
[00:32:35] [SPEAKER_00]: He had to speak to them.
[00:32:37] [SPEAKER_00]: And he had to get out information to people who otherwise wouldn't hear him speak.
[00:32:41] [SPEAKER_00]: So he had to say things that might seem simple to you or even like he was getting in the weeds.
[00:32:46] [SPEAKER_00]: But you have to understand that people, a lot of people watching that are hearing from him
[00:32:52] [SPEAKER_00]: in a way that they've never heard from him before and will never seek out again.
[00:32:55] [SPEAKER_00]: This is one opportunity to be the counter argument.
[00:33:00] [SPEAKER_00]: So I think he had to do that and I think he did do that.
[00:33:03] [SPEAKER_00]: We say it all the time in the puniture game, debates don't move the needle.
[00:33:07] [SPEAKER_00]: And I would venture to guess this one didn't either.
[00:33:10] [SPEAKER_00]: Like I said, the Biden Trump debate.
[00:33:12] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, move the needle. Definitely. Right.
[00:33:14] [SPEAKER_00]: He's gone. Move the needle.
[00:33:15] [SPEAKER_00]: So it can, but it's got to be a huge disaster.
[00:33:19] [SPEAKER_00]: And nothing huge happened last night.
[00:33:21] [SPEAKER_00]: Nothing huge at all.
[00:33:25] [SPEAKER_00]: So sure, the left is going to say that Kamala won and looked presidential.
[00:33:29] [SPEAKER_00]: But I think if you look at it for yourself, she just didn't fall apart.
[00:33:33] [SPEAKER_00]: And that's all that needed to happen.
[00:33:35] [SPEAKER_00]: I don't think this shifts.
[00:33:36] [SPEAKER_00]: Excuse me, the electorate.
[00:33:39] [SPEAKER_00]: Oh, excuse me.
[00:33:40] [SPEAKER_00]: That was a little burp.
[00:33:42] [SPEAKER_00]: That happens when you talk for a living. Sorry.
[00:33:44] [SPEAKER_00]: I don't think this shifts the electorate.
[00:33:46] [SPEAKER_00]: But it was interesting.
[00:33:49] [SPEAKER_00]: Right. It was interesting to watch.
[00:33:51] [SPEAKER_00]: I'm not even going to say fun.
[00:33:54] [SPEAKER_00]: Wasn't I enjoyed the Biden Trump debate much more.
[00:33:56] [SPEAKER_00]: This one was pretty boring.
[00:34:00] [SPEAKER_00]: I learned nothing new about either of them.
[00:34:02] [SPEAKER_00]: Certainly not about Kamala.
[00:34:04] [SPEAKER_00]: Learned nothing new.
[00:34:08] [SPEAKER_00]: She couldn't even be clear about the race question.
[00:34:12] [SPEAKER_00]: That's how vague she was.
[00:34:13] [SPEAKER_00]: She couldn't even, ABC teed it up for her.
[00:34:17] [SPEAKER_00]: Look at Trump being so racist, bringing up your race.
[00:34:21] [SPEAKER_00]: Teed it up for her.
[00:34:22] [SPEAKER_00]: All she had to say was, isn't that rude?
[00:34:24] [SPEAKER_00]: I'm a proud black woman.
[00:34:26] [SPEAKER_00]: I'm a woman or she's mixed race like I am.
[00:34:30] [SPEAKER_00]: I'm black and white.
[00:34:32] [SPEAKER_00]: Or I'm a proud woman of mixed heritage, Indian and black.
[00:34:39] [SPEAKER_00]: Y'all think I'm joking.
[00:34:40] [SPEAKER_00]: I've been trying to tell you all.
[00:34:42] [SPEAKER_00]: She does not think she's black.
[00:34:44] [SPEAKER_00]: It's absolutely okay for Trump to bring this up because she does not believe it.
[00:34:49] [SPEAKER_00]: So she's running on being black and she's not black.
[00:34:53] [SPEAKER_00]: It matters.
[00:34:54] [SPEAKER_00]: It matters.
[00:34:55] [SPEAKER_00]: I don't, I feel like a crazy person.
[00:34:56] [SPEAKER_00]: I'm the only person saying this.
[00:34:58] [SPEAKER_00]: Why am I the only person noticing this?
[00:35:00] [SPEAKER_00]: She does not call herself black.
[00:35:05] [SPEAKER_00]: They didn't push back on it and she never answered the question.
[00:35:07] [SPEAKER_00]: Even though it was teed up beautifully.
[00:35:09] [SPEAKER_00]: And you could have had a really nice yes queen moment.
[00:35:12] [SPEAKER_00]: You could have gotten something out of that.
[00:35:14] [SPEAKER_00]: I'm a proud black woman.
[00:35:16] [SPEAKER_00]: How dare you question my authenticity?
[00:35:20] [SPEAKER_00]: But she whiffed it just like she whiffs everything else because she knows she's not black.
[00:35:26] [SPEAKER_00]: She is and in her defense, again, I've said this about her.
[00:35:30] [SPEAKER_00]: I'll defend her on this.
[00:35:32] [SPEAKER_00]: She's never said it.
[00:35:34] [SPEAKER_00]: Now she's letting people lie about it because it serves her politically, but she's never said it.
[00:35:40] [SPEAKER_00]: She doesn't believe it.
[00:35:42] [SPEAKER_00]: She may have been around black people and had a lot of experiences with black people.
[00:35:47] [SPEAKER_00]: And that's valid.
[00:35:48] [SPEAKER_00]: And I think that's fair.
[00:35:49] [SPEAKER_00]: I think it's fair for her to say, hey, I've grown up adjacent to this community, which I think she's even said a few times.
[00:35:57] [SPEAKER_00]: I wasn't raised in a black community, but I was raised around black people.
[00:36:01] [SPEAKER_00]: And that culture was very much a part of my life.
[00:36:04] [SPEAKER_00]: She has said that in interviews in the past.
[00:36:07] [SPEAKER_00]: She's never said she's black.
[00:36:08] [SPEAKER_00]: Now ABC bringing it up.
[00:36:10] [SPEAKER_00]: I saw on Twitter a lot of conservatives were getting, oh no, Trump shouldn't have fallen for the—I think he did just fine with the question.
[00:36:17] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, basically it was a dumb question.
[00:36:19] [SPEAKER_00]: Versatile.
[00:36:19] [SPEAKER_00]: He's like, I don't care.
[00:36:21] [SPEAKER_00]: And he doesn't.
[00:36:22] [SPEAKER_00]: And sometimes she is, sometimes she isn't.
[00:36:25] [SPEAKER_00]: Why are we giving Trump a hard time for pointing that out when it's just true?
[00:36:32] [SPEAKER_00]: Sometimes she is, sometimes she isn't.
[00:36:35] [SPEAKER_00]: It is true.
[00:36:36] [SPEAKER_00]: And it does matter if your candidate's lying about literally everything.
[00:36:40] [SPEAKER_00]: It does matter.
[00:36:42] [SPEAKER_00]: Conservatives, not up!
[00:36:45] [SPEAKER_00]: It matters.
[00:36:47] [SPEAKER_00]: I know you're uncomfortable with it because you think that Trump's just going to fall into the trap and oh, that's that same stupid elitist conservative mindset.
[00:36:55] [SPEAKER_00]: Like if we don't say bad things, they won't hurt us.
[00:37:00] [SPEAKER_00]: He's telling the truth.
[00:37:01] [SPEAKER_00]: Why doesn't anyone care about this?
[00:37:03] [SPEAKER_00]: He's telling the truth and he's not obsessed with it.
[00:37:05] [SPEAKER_00]: He's not.
[00:37:06] [SPEAKER_00]: It comes up and he answers the question, just like last night.
[00:37:10] [SPEAKER_00]: But it absolutely matters if your opponent is running on solely on the fact that she is a black woman and yet she doesn't think she's black.
[00:37:21] [SPEAKER_00]: It 100% matters.
[00:37:23] [SPEAKER_00]: And I don't know why everyone, including conservatives, is bound to determine to make Trump seem like a fool for bringing it up.
[00:37:30] [SPEAKER_01]: It matters.
[00:37:52] [SPEAKER_08]: I believe that you said what you'll do.
[00:37:56] [SPEAKER_09]: So no matter what I go through, I know what you'll come through.
[00:38:02] [SPEAKER_09]: God only knows what you've been through.
[00:38:05] [SPEAKER_07]: God only knows what you say about who you are.
[00:38:09] But God only been changed.
[00:38:21] He's changed.
[00:38:23] [SPEAKER_05]: He was kind to what superheroes do.
[00:38:31] [SPEAKER_02]: Listen to FCB Faith on iHeartRadio, Odyssey at FCBFaith.com or tell your smart speaker to play FCB Faith on iHeartRadio.
[00:38:42] [SPEAKER_00]: She didn't answer the question last night.
[00:38:44] [SPEAKER_00]: I don't know if you noticed, but I noticed because I know this about her.
[00:38:49] [SPEAKER_00]: Oh God, sorry.
[00:38:50] [SPEAKER_00]: I'm getting...
[00:38:52] [SPEAKER_00]: I can't do a presidential debate because I'll lose my mind.
[00:38:56] [SPEAKER_00]: If you guys can't imagine, when I was running for school board, I tried to set up one debate with my opponent, but he backed out.
[00:39:05] [SPEAKER_00]: I can't imagine.
[00:39:07] [SPEAKER_00]: What else do I want to say?
[00:39:08] [SPEAKER_00]: Taylor Swift, I went over that.
[00:39:10] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, no winners, no losers, no needle moving.
[00:39:14] [SPEAKER_00]: Interesting footnote in the race.
[00:39:18] [SPEAKER_00]: Otherwise, no.
[00:39:19] [SPEAKER_00]: What could Trump have done to run away with it?
[00:39:22] [SPEAKER_00]: I don't know.
[00:39:22] [SPEAKER_00]: That's the other thing, right?
[00:39:24] [SPEAKER_00]: I know a lot of people are like, well, I don't know that Trump won.
[00:39:27] [SPEAKER_00]: I mean, Trump won the Biden debate because Biden was so bad.
[00:39:30] [SPEAKER_00]: What could Trump do to run away with a debate?
[00:39:33] [SPEAKER_00]: Nothing, because Trump is inartful.
[00:39:35] [SPEAKER_00]: He is not an artful diplomatic speaker.
[00:39:40] [SPEAKER_00]: He is not an emotional speaker.
[00:39:43] [SPEAKER_00]: He's not like an Obama.
[00:39:45] [SPEAKER_00]: I don't even think Obama is that great.
[00:39:47] [SPEAKER_00]: A lot of people say it.
[00:39:48] [SPEAKER_00]: I feel like they're just saying it because he's black, to be honest.
[00:39:52] [SPEAKER_00]: I don't find him that inspiring.
[00:39:54] [SPEAKER_00]: He can read well.
[00:39:56] [SPEAKER_00]: But let's take Obama as that example.
[00:39:58] [SPEAKER_00]: You know, she's no Obama or he's no Obama.
[00:40:02] [SPEAKER_00]: And so I think a lot of people feel like, oh, that means he's stupid.
[00:40:08] [SPEAKER_00]: And unless he can sound another way and say all of the right things he's saying, then he's never going to win.
[00:40:14] [SPEAKER_00]: So I don't know what could Trump do to run away with a debate?
[00:40:18] [SPEAKER_00]: Nothing, I don't think.
[00:40:19] [SPEAKER_00]: Nothing.
[00:40:20] [SPEAKER_00]: People are always going to have issues with him because he is not a typical candidate.
[00:40:27] [SPEAKER_00]: So I think he did what he had to do.
[00:40:30] [SPEAKER_00]: I think she did what she had to do.
[00:40:33] [SPEAKER_00]: You know, I think she did what she had to do and the moderators did what they had to do.
[00:40:39] [SPEAKER_00]: Now it's up to me and you to do what we have to do.
[00:40:41] [SPEAKER_00]: So write me.
[00:40:42] [SPEAKER_00]: Tell me what you thought of the debate.
[00:40:43] [SPEAKER_00]: Tell me your thoughts.
[00:40:44] [SPEAKER_00]: JLTY at ProtonMail.com, JLTY at ProtonMail.com.
[00:40:48] [SPEAKER_00]: If I get a few responses this week, I'll probably do a listener response just based on what I get.
[00:40:54] [SPEAKER_00]: Because I'm really curious to know what you guys think.
[00:40:57] [SPEAKER_00]: Tell me what you guys think or hit me up on Twitter at real Kira Davis.
[00:41:01] [SPEAKER_00]: Again, I'm sorry for the jakey setup here.
[00:41:05] [SPEAKER_00]: Like literally everything fried out the second I sat down to do this podcast.
[00:41:11] [SPEAKER_00]: Immensely frustrated, just like every other American for all kinds of reasons.
[00:41:16] [SPEAKER_00]: But I didn't want to leave you all hanging.
[00:41:19] [SPEAKER_00]: So I appreciate you taking a listen.
[00:41:21] [SPEAKER_00]: I am really interested to hear what you guys think.
[00:41:24] [SPEAKER_00]: And don't forget to join me in praying for President Trump and this election period, just this election.
[00:41:29] [SPEAKER_00]: You don't have to pray for one side or the other to win.
[00:41:33] [SPEAKER_00]: You can simply pray for God's will to be done and for God to surround our leaders with godly and wise counsel.
[00:41:41] [SPEAKER_00]: And for free and fair elections.
[00:41:42] [SPEAKER_00]: I think that's a good prayer too, no matter what side of the fence you stand on.
[00:41:46] [SPEAKER_00]: Alright, until we meet again everyone, don't forget.
[00:41:50] [SPEAKER_00]: Every once in a while just stop and listen to yourself.
