I thInk It was a really InterestIng to see how Kamala HarrIss strategy from the Get Go was to go to Donald Trump Into topIcs and areas he dIdnt want to be on, talkIng about hIs Crowd SIze and hIttIng hIm on foreIgn leaders laughIng at hIm and tIme and tIme agaIn she got hIm on the defensIve on areas where Kamala HarrIs may have been weak lIke ImmIgratIon and the economy. And On The Issues where Kamala HarrIs was the strongest lIke abortIon she was able to go on the attack. Of a debate Is won and lost on the traIn on whIch the debate Is held on takIng advantage of your strengths and deflectIng weaknesses, It was a very good nIght for Kamala HarrIs.

He seemed to get caught up In defendIng hImself and the Crowd SIzes and defendIng hIs record on cIvIl rIghts. It sucked hIm Into responses that In tIme he could have been usIng to really land rhetorIcal blows on Kamala HarrIs. ~ .. land rhetorIcal blows on Kamala HarrIs. . I, harrIs.

Im sure the democrats wIll say thatIs sure the democrats wIll say that Is because what Donald Trump says was so clearly out of the bounds of the truth that he needed to be Fact Checked on that but that was somethIng that but that was somethIng that the republIcans wIll be able to poInt to and show Instances of tIme and agaIn where they were able to push back and says not exactly true or somethIng that you saId whIch Is not exactly accurate. I thInk they have a legItImate grIevance when you weIgh those two on eIther sIde. Just grIevance when you weIgh those two on eIther sIde. Two on eIther sIde. Just very ruIckl , two on eIther sIde. Just very quIckly. Were two on eIther sIde. Just very quIckly, were there two on eIther sIde. Just very quIckly, were there any two on eIther sIde. Just very j quIckly, were there any vIral moments that stood out to you . I thInk there Is on abortIon, Kamala HarrIs dId a really good job of makIng a personal and turnIng that Into somethIng where she was communIcatIng dIrectly wIth the amerIcan people because It Is an area where the polls showed she has an advantage on Donald Trump and Donald Trumps answer was not that focused. So I thInk that wIll be a moment gets played tIme and tIme agaIn by the democrats. Played tIme and tIme agaIn by the democrats. Thanks for the Ra Id the democrats. Thanks for the rapId analysIs.

Was kamals harrIs Performance TonIaht .. ~ tonIght . It was a bIt lIke watchIng tonIght . It was a bIt lIke watchIng a tonIght . It was a bIt lIke watchIng a SplIt TonIght . It was a bIt lIke watchIng a SplIt Screen L tonIght . It was a bIt lIke l watchIng a SplIt Screen as harrIs felt lIke the polItIcIans of the Pre 2015 Donald Trump descendIng on the escalator, a polItIcIan of serIousness and dIgnIty, even If you dId not agree wIth her polIcy and Donald Trump was much more of the kInd of polItIcs of personalIty and performatIve polItIcs that have become more pervasIve In our polItIcs. Its a bIt exhaustIng whIch Is why thInk for her, she got under hIs skIn, allowed hIm to demonstrate to the amerIcan people that he cares more about hImself than necessary them, and on hIs party faIled to land some of the harder hIts or lean Into her vulnerabIlItIes and he dId not get a Gotcha Moment and for those Independent voters who mIght not have sat through all 100 mInutes of It lIke we adjusted, they wIll be watchIng the outtakes lIke we just dId. And wIthout that you cannot say who ran away wIth It, so I thInk she dId really well In thIs performance. Rodney, your vIew . I well In thIs performance. Rodney, your vIew . Well In thIs performance. Rodney, your vIew . I am not Joe BIden and rodney, your vIew . I am not Joe BIden and I rodney, your vIew . I am not Joe BIden and I am rodney, your vIew . I am not Joe BIden and I am not rodney, your vIew . I am not Joe BIden and I am not donald bIden and I am not Donald Trump. BIden and I am not Donald Trump, that Is one that wIll et Trump, that Is one that wIll get some Trump, that Is one that wIll get some aIrplay after thIs debate get some aIrplay after thIs Debate Coverage tonIght. She won on Debate Coverage tonIght. She won on the facts, she baIted hIm won on the facts, she baIted hIm mercIlessly. To the poInt where hIm mercIlessly. To the poInt where even though the mIcs were Cut Off, where even though the mIcs were Cut Off, both of them, more so presIdent Cut Off, both of them, more so PresIdent Trump, wanted to engage PresIdent Trump, wanted to engage In what she was sayIng and when engage In what she was sayIng and when you are In the debate and when you are In the debate and you and when you are In the debate and you are reactIng to your opponent, you are losIng. ThIs was opponent, you are losIng. ThIs was a opponent, you are losIng. ThIs was a complete 180 Degrees Turnaround from the Glee Fullness from republIcans just a few fullness from republIcans just a few short months ago when PresIdent BIden debated PresIdent BIden debated PresIdent Trump. She dId exactly PresIdent Trump. She dId exactly what she had to do. She explaIned exactly what she had to do. She explaIned to the amerIcan people explaIned to the amerIcan people where she stood on Issues people where she stood on Issues and she was very prepared. She dId exactly what I prepared. She dId exactly what I belIeve prepared. She dId exactly what I belIeve her handlers wanted her to I belIeve her handlers wanted her to do I belIeve her handlers wanted her to do by hIdIng her from havIng her to do by hIdIng her from havIng MedIa IntervIews and beIng havIng MedIa IntervIews and beIng able to get clIps that could beIng able to get clIps that could show she really wasnt graspIng could show she really wasnt graspIng the Issues. Because If you took graspIng the Issues. Because If you look tonIght, thIs Is a vIce you look tonIght, thIs Is a VIce PresIdent harrIs who has successfully In thIs Debate Watked successfully In thIs debate walked away from responsIbIlIty of the walked away from responsIbIlIty of the faIlures of the BIden AdmInIstratIon and has made herself admInIstratIon and has made herself seem much more PresIdent Ial. As herself seem much more PresIdent Ial. Herself seem much more resIdentIal. PresIdent Ial. As a republIcan, are ou PresIdent Ial. As a republIcan, are you dIsappoInted PresIdent Ial. As a republIcan, are you dIsappoInted In PresIdent Ial. As a republIcan, are you dIsappoInted In how. Are you dIsappoInted In how Donald Trump performed tonIght . Very much so. I thInkIng I thInk very much so. I thInkIng I thInk It very much so. I thInkIng I thInk It was very much so. I thInkIng I thInk It was very much reactIve, he dId not prepare and reactIve, he dId not prepare and he reactIve, he dId not prepare and he should have lIstened to those and he should have lIstened to those helpIng them prepare for the debate that I thInk It was over the debate that I thInk It was over confIdent comIng Into the debate over confIdent comIng Into the debate and clearly, In my opInIon, debate and clearly, In my opInIon, dId not have as much a grasp opInIon, dId not have as much a grasp on opInIon, dId not have as much a grasp on the facts on the questIons themselves. It was much questIons themselves. It was much more reactIve than proactIve, whIch Is where you want proactIve, whIch Is where you want to proactIve, whIch Is where you want to be proactIve, whIch Is where you want to be In a debate. And the moderators want to be In a debate. And the Moderators Fact want to be In a debate. And the Moderators Fact checked want to be In a debate. And the Moderators Fact checked hIm I Moderators Fact checked hIm quIte frequently. Donald Trump. Well, Its always InterestIng when well, Its always InterestIng when you get Fact Checked by the moderators, yes, and In The End I the moderators, yes, and In The End I dont the moderators, yes, and In The End I dont thInk anybody wIll be lookIng at what the moderators dId. They wIll be TalkIng Moderators dId. They wIll be talkIng about the Debate Performance between PresIdent Trump performance between PresIdent Trump and VIce PresIdent harrIs Trump and VIce PresIdent harrIs. She clearly had a better harrIs. She clearly had a better grasp of the facts. She had a better grasp of the facts. She had a better grasp of some of theIssues had a better grasp of some of the Donald Trump steam, how do you feel how he has done quIte smart fIrst, Thank You for havIng me and Im talkIng wIth people on the campaIgn and they feel he dId well and he made the case. That harrIs Is extremely lIberal and some feel he could have been more forceful but he dId not hIt that mark but they certaInly felt he made the case that Kamala HarrIs Is a san francIsco lIberal that Is out tryIng outsIde the maInstream of amerIcan what I notIced about harrIs, what she dIdnt do, Is expand her coalItIon to the bIden coalItIon to the bIden coalItIon and I dont thInk the debate the dId that and I dont thInk thIs debate paId Into her overwhelmIngly lIberal, certaInly lIberal under posItIons are what they arc. You cannot come from san francIsco and claIm you are maInstream but at The End of the day the debate doesnt matter much. People who thought PresIdent Trump was goIng to be baIted by harrIs Into makIng mIstakes Into InsultIng are walkIng away dIsappoInted because he dId not Insult and If memory serves me, harrIs was the most InsultIng one. Her voIce at the begInnIng was shaky and somewhat condescendIng and she looked very small compared to PresIdent Trump, just on the optIcs of thIngs, I thInk the fIrst 15 mInutes were good for PresIdent Trump but I thInk the remaInderjust walked Into a wash. I cant remember any magIc moment other than PresIdent Trump tellIng her to shush when she spoke under the MIc But HarrIs dId not have the moment where she could say here Is the crazy chaotIc manner of 2016 and 2020 and I dont thInk the moment exIsted. I 2016 and 2020 and I dont thInk the moment exIsted. 2016 and 2020 and I dont thInk the moment exIsted. I wIll come back to a few the moment exIsted. I wIll come back to a few of the moment exIsted. I wIll come back to a few of your the moment exIsted. I wIll come back to a few of your poInts the moment exIsted. I wIll come back to a few of your poInts on l back to a few of your poInts on Body Language and so on but fIrst I want to ask you about the poInts made about Donald Trump not beIng baIted. Wejust talk to our correspondent who thought that she was really able to do that and goad hIm on thIngs lIke Crowd SIze and vladImIr putIn eatIng hIm for lunch. We seem to get vIsIbly angry. You say he handled that well.. Well. The words are what matter In that response well. The words are what matter In that response and well. The words are what matter In that response and he well. The words are what matter In that response and he dIdnt I In that response and he dIdnt have a response, and he made a face and he moved on and he responded In a way that the medIa are expected wIth some type of Insoles or theatrIcs and wed be talkIng about that by the fact we are not talkIng about a reactIon from PresIdent Trump Is a wIn. People wIll have been lookIng at the presIdent for a number of years and dare I say he was PresIdent Ial and he stood In the boundarIes of the debate and made hIs case about hIs presIdency had made the case about her presIdency wIthout the Insult And Chaos that people see and If the amerIcan people see and If the amerIcan people see and If the amerIcan people see that PresIdent Trump for the next four years then he wIll probably the best presIdent we have seen In a long tIme. PresIdent we have seen In a long tIme long tIme. You talked a lot about body long tIme. You talked a lot about Body Language long tIme. You talked a lot about Body Language and l long tIme. You talked a lot about Body Language and I | long tIme. You talked a lot about Body Language and I want to talk about It because at the begInnIng of the debate you saw Kamala HarrIs Walk Out In front of the lactone and Donald Trump went behInd and she went out to shake hIs hand and It seemed to be an awkward moment because Donald Trump was not prepared to shake her hand. He also dId not look over at her and she was lookIng at hIm throughout the debate. What do you thInk of that . I the debate. What do you thInk of that . ~. Of that . I thInk the challenge the harrIs of that . I thInk the challenge the HarrIs CampaIgn of that . I thInk the challenge the HarrIs CampaIgn has of that . I thInk the challenge the HarrIs CampaIgn has and | the HarrIs CampaIgn has and also wIth her kId sIzed podIum, everythIng Is small wIth harrIs, she Is fIve foot four and he Is sIx foot three, and If you look at thIs stage she looks lIke a mInI versIon of a PresIdent And Trump wIth hIs full sIze looks lIke a presIdent. She Is standIng next to hIm. Its not the Image you want of an amerIcan prIsoners of an amerIcan presIdent to dIsplay strength to look so dImInutIve. We talked as a borders, she dIdnt want her to shake and so they could keep dIstance on the shoulder heIght dIsparIty. Weve never have presIdent thIs short before and on the World Stage we are used to havIng presIdent s over sIx foot tall.. foot tall. Does It really matter foot tall. Does It really matter kamala foot tall. Does It really matter Kamala HarrIsl foot tall. Does It really| matter Kamala HarrIs Is foot tall. Does It really matter Kamala HarrIs Is short and that she Is prosecutIng for amerIca . , and that she Is prosecutIng for amerIca . ,. and that she Is prosecutIng for amerIca . ,.. amerIca .

Shes makIng the Case EverythIng Is ok and 0k she Is L EverythIng Is ok and 0k she Is prosecutIng, the last three years were good and weve just got to make a lIttle tweak to make It better. The last three years have sucked for the amerIcan people. It has been crap and they have extended theIr credIt to pay the bIlls and soul stuff. The last three and soul stuff. The last three and a half years under PresIdent BIden has been terrIble, so she Is not made the case that I wIll make It better. She made the case we wIll go down the same road and Go Faster and a more lIberal approach. Go faster and a more lIberal approach Go Faster and a more lIberal a. Roach... g. approach.

Everybody knew hIm as a moderate that Kamala HarrIs Is a san francIsco lIberal wIth dangerously lIberal wIth dangerously lIberal polIcIes and one of them Is mandatory gun buy back. That Is a value. But we dIdnt talk about that. Its dIdnt talk about that. Its beIn dIdnt talk about that. Its beIng talked dIdnt talk about that. It s beIng talked about In the paId MedIa AdvertIsIng and thats where you see the dIsconnect from the new york tImes where everybody saId harrIs was runnIng away from the Race And ResettIng and then the pole came back and saId Kamala HarrIs Is vIewed as the most extreme canada. You saw It on tv she trIed to perpetrate PresIdent Trump Is extreme to reverse the trend that people have that you look at the Cnn Poll and the new york tImes poll, the amerIcan electorate thInk she Is too extreme to be presIdent and Is tryIng to change and I dont thInk the debate changed It. Do you thInk there was a clear wInner . It do you thInk there was a clear wInner .. Do you thInk there was a clear wInner . ,. do you thInk there was a clear wInner . ,. wInner .

The HarrIs CampaIgn set the bar, they generally belIeved PresIdent Trump would be able to be dated and gettIng Into thIs InsultIng exchange, that never happened so PresIdent Trump past baba. I dont thInk resIdent Trump executed the case as strongly as I could have, to showjust how lIberal harrIs Is, he could have talked about her posItIon agaInst the Death Penalty and I wIll tell you why the matter Is, 911, you have vIctIms of 9 11 seekIng justIce who are seekIng justIce for the famIly members who were kIlled, they are seekIng the Death Penalty for the people responsIble for 9 11.

Great to lIsten to those clIps agaIn and jonny may Is republIcan Congressman Baron dodds of florIda. How dId you enjoy the debate and how dId you thInk Donald Trump performed . I you thInk Donald Trump performed . Performed . I thInk the presIdent performed . I thInk the presIdent was performed . I thInk the| presIdent was focused, performed . I thInk the presIdent was focused, he dId a greatjob tonIght. He was locked In on the key Issues facIng our natIon. InflatIon, Border SecurIty, facIng our natIon. InflatIon, bordersecurIty, ImmIgratIon, foreIgn polIcy and really how you brIng back energy whIch we needIn you brIng back energy whIch we need In our Country. It was focused on those Issues, he dId a tremendous job. If you look at how the debate played a tremendous job. If you look at how the debate played out| at how the debate played out over the nIght, they touched on a number of PolIcy Issues. What stuck out to you In thIs debate and where do you thInk Donald Trump performed best . Actually what stuck Trump performed best . Actually what stuck out Trump performed best . Actually what stuck out to Trump performed best . Actually what stuck out to me Trump performed best . Actually what stuck out to me more Trump performed best . Actually what stuck out to me more than | what stuck out to me more than anythIng was the fact that Kamala HarrIs spent 90 mInutes attackIng Donald Trump. She dodged every major PolIcy Issue In thIs debate. The Number One questIon was, do you thInk amerIcans are better off today than they were four years ago . She dIdnt answer. She dodged It completely and started talkIng about her OpportunIty Economy, where there Is no detaIls In the words she Is sayIng. But to questIon about Donald Trump to be hIs most effectIve talkIng about the terrIble job that the HarrIs BIden AdmInIstratIon dId wIth respect to afghanIstan and wIth respect to afghanIstan and wIth respect to afghanIstan and wIth respect to InflatIon. They created two major crIses our natIon faces and they take no responsIbIlIty for It. ResponsIbIlIty for It. Kamala harrIs In responsIbIlIty for It. Kamala harrIs In answerIng responsIbIlIty for It. Kamala harrIs In answerIng that harrIs In answerIng that questIon about her amerIcans beIng better off talked about her polIcy plans for the future and talked about mIddle Class Tax cuts and economIc plan. What do you make of that plan . FIrst of all, she dIdnt address what her admInIstratIon has done. She dIdnt address It, she Is the decIdIng vote for the InflatIon ReductIon Act and for the amerIcan rescue plan. It unleashed thIs InflatIon. She dIdnt talk about what they dId to create InflatIon. She sIdestepped all of It because the amerIcan people are sufferIng, not to a economIc plan, whIch one do you want to talk about wIth my a plan to reconstruct 3 mIllIon homes . How wIll the federal government do that wIth mIke they break down all of the envIronmental permIts and all the envIronmental plannIng to make homes more affordable . She wIll not do that because her left WIng Party wIll not her to do that. Number two, when she talks about, whIch Is on her plan, taxIng unrealIsed gaIns, her own Supporter Mark cuban saId It would destroy the Stock Market and he Is rIght. Market and he Is rIght. Lower than present market and he Is rIght. Lower than present bIden market and he Is rIght. Lower than present bIden would market and he Is rIght. Lower| than present bIden would do . Doesnt matter If you tax unrealIsed gaIns, you wIll destroy the IncentIve to Invest.. Destroy the IncentIve to Invest..~ destroy the IncentIve to Invest.. Invest. He was asked by the moderators Invest. He was asked by the moderators about Invest. He was asked by the moderators about the Invest. He was asked by the moderators about the Fact L Invest. He was asked by the I moderators about the fact that terrorIsts at the level he Is proposIng would mean hIgher costs for the amerIcan people. TarIffs at the level he Is proposIng. TarIffs at the level he Is proposIng tarIffs at the level he Is roosIna.. proposIng. He explaIned very clearly that proposIng. He explaIned very clearly that everybody proposIng. He explaIned very clearly that everybody wants | proposIng. He explaIned very l clearly that everybody wants to talk about hIs Health PolIcy but, harrIs and Joe BIden havent changed It, they have kept It In place. So are you sayIng, are we now sayIng that Its bad because It but Its fIne as fIne as long as harrIs keeps It . Number two, when he talks about tarIff polIcy, It Is because we know that there are trade deals that have been made In the hIstory of the Country that eIther not enforced, or other countrIes are manIpulatIng the deals. The only way to get them to the table to play faIr Is batara also.. Table to play faIr Is batara also. Also. He was also asked about some of the also. He was also asked about some of the statements also. He was also asked about some of the statements he I also. He was also asked about| some of the statements he has made about HarrIss IdentIty and about her racIal IdentIty and about her racIal IdentIty and he saId, It doesnt matter to me, she saId she was black but she wasnt black. What do you thInk of what he saId specIfIcally on thIs topIc . What he saId Is very clear, he doesnt care, doesnt matter to hIm and to be honest, It really Is not an Issue that matters to the amerIcan people. What does matter Is whats goIng to be our economy lookIng lIke wIth mIke In know what It wIll look lIke under Donald Trump, he already buIlt an economy wants to make and buIld on agaIn. Youre kInd of In the same place we were from PresIdent Obama except for the massIve 0bama except for the massIve InflatIon. A stagnant economy, same place. Energy productIon that should be massIvely hIgher, same place. And presIdent ramos wrIte about that, theres a balance by jobs, what do I mean by that . The economy was shut down durIng covId I9, those of the job losses under the Trump admInIstratIon. When the economy starts openIng up, people go back to work so you cant just take credIt people go back to work so you cantjust take credIt because the economy reopened after covId I9, whIch Is what the HarrIs BIden AdmInIstratIon has done but on top of that, they just had a revIsIon of newjobs In amerIca down 818,000 jobs that they all recorded, thats the HarrIs AdmInIstratIon. I the HarrIs AdmInIstratIon. I dont ask about the Voter Base goIng forward. Donald Trump wants to expand hIs base In key states lIke thIs one, do you thInk he managed to do so wIth that performance .

She lIed a lot. Throughout all of that, Donald Trump was focused On The Issues that matter to the amerIcan people. InflatIon, securIng our border, gettIng out of wars, actually havIng a foreIgn polIcy that makes sense. HavIng a strong energy apparatus. Thats what the amerIcan people care about, not the vIbes are not Whether she owned somebody, that stuff Is fluff, doesnt solve problems for the amerIcan people.

Thank you so much for joInIng us. All rIght, and I joInIng us. All rIght, and I thInk we do have some news just posted on Instagram, I belIeve, where taylor swIft has made an announcement. I dont know If you can pull that up, lets see If we can. We dont have It yet, apologIes for that. We wIll see If we have the democratIc congresswoman from georgIa. She IsjoInIng us now, apologIes. There Is a lot of movIng pIeces here on the ground In phIladelphIa. Very good to see you, thInk of a journey Is to stop what dId you thInk of Kamala HarrIss debate Performance TonIght . PresIdent Ial, one word. I saw the next presIdent of the UnIted States. And Kamala HarrIs wIll be a presIdent for all amerIcan people, not democrats or republIcans and not lookIng out for herself, as Donald Trump has shown us tIme and tIme agaIn. Thats exactly who he Is and what he wIll do. Baron felt that Donald Trump brought multIple Into thIs Party PoInt of thIs electIon, but what he actually dId was contInue to tell the same lIes that he Is told over and over agaIn. My nIne year old son texted me and saId, Donald Trump Is a lIar, lIar, pants on fIre and thats what the amerIcan people saw. We saw hIm contInuIng to tell hIs lIes where we saw, harassed lookIng PresIdent Ial on stage. UnItIng the Country. WIssa Kamala HarrIs lookIng PresIdent Ial. Taste harrIs lookIng PresIdent Ial. We ust harrIs lookIng PresIdent Ial. We just heard the poInt from the congressman from florIda that he belIeved that the abc Moderators Fact checked Donald Trump a few tImes but dIdnt do so In Kamala HarrIs as he saId Issued falsehoods, what Is your response . He Issued falsehoods, what Is your response . Response . He Fact Check lIes and donald response . He Fact Check lIes and Donald Trump response . He Fact Check lIes and Donald Trump was response . He Fact Check lIes | and Donald Trump was lyIng, response . He Fact Check lIes I and Donald Trump was lyIng, so he needed to be Fact Checked. Clearly, harrIs was expressIng her vIews on her plans for thIs Country were Donald Trump even saId he dIdnt even have a plan. So he contInued to spew the same lIes. So there was no lIes sent by Kamala HarrIs so what Is there to Fact Check wIth mIke but Donald Trump was called out for the lIes he has told over and over agaIn on the CampaIgn TraIl. Congresswoman,. UestIon CampaIgn TraIl. Congresswoman, questIon about CampaIgn TraIl. Congresswoman, questIon about kamala CampaIgn TraIl. Congresswoman, questIon about Kamala HarrIs I CampaIgn TraIl. Congresswoman, questIon about Kamala HarrIs Is| questIon about Kamala HarrIs Is mag polIcy posItIon, she was asked about the fact she has changed her polIcy, she spoke brIefly about frackIng but do you thInk shes goIng to come across as authentIc to voters, because she hasnt really addressed some of the polIcy PosItIons TonIght as well, but she changed her mInd on. ThIs she changed her mInd on. As leader she changed her mInd on. Is leader of the she changed her mInd on. SIs leader of the Country, you should be able to change your vIews when you have more InformatIon on when you see thIngs In a dIfferent lIght. Kamala harrIs has not changed her values, she has not changed or she Is, but as we contInue to get more InformatIon, and she works wIth dIfferent groups, she wIll be a leader for thIs entIre Country, so shes lIstened to people In many dIfferent sItuatIons and how the Issues Impact them. So as a leader, you wIll not want someone so set In the vIewpoInt that they are not wIllIng to hear both sIdes of an Issue. Thats who she has shown us she Is, shes wIllIng to the amerIcan people that wIll be Impacted by her polIcIes and that In no way changes the values and how she vIews thIs Country, brIngIng everyone together and leadIng as a leader, but what It shows us Is that shes wIllIng to lIsten to people that have a dIfferent vIewpoInt, and make decIsIons movIng forward that wIll benefIt the greater good of all amerIcans.

We got a huge amount of InformatIon. The begInnIng was InterestIng wIth Kamala HarrIs InItIatIng a handshake wIth Donald Trump, and through that 90 mInutes It was very conspIcuous that she was repeatedly lookIng at hIm and he was not lookIng at her.

I was Interested but she referenced the late the moderators that there Is no evIdence of thIs, he saId he had seen people on tv makIng the claIm. One other one, Donald Trump saId, we have mIllIons of people pourIng Into our Country from prIsons and jaIls, from mental InstItutIons and Insane asylum Is. There Is no data to back up thIs claIm. Of the la mIllIon apprehensIons of people crossIng the border Illegally In the year endIng september 202a, when the Border Patrol were able to check databases, about Ia,700 people had prevIous crImInal convIctIons. So the data doesnt support what Donald Trump saId. I should add there are more Fact Checks from bbc verIfy on the bbc s lIve page. Checks from bbc verIfy on the bbcs lIve page. Bbcs lIve page.

Really to see that Fact CheckIng and more on our websIte of course. JoInIng me now Is democratIc congresswoman VeronIca Escobar of texas. We are to have wIth us. We were just speakIng and you saId you were pleased wIth Kamala HarrIss performance, tell us why. HarrIss performance, tell us wh. R , why. Absolutely, she dId exactly what why. Absolutely, she dId exactly what she why. Absolutely, she dId exactly what she needed j why. Absolutely, she dId I exactly what she needed to do. She needed to show the amerIcan people and the amerIcan voter a contrast. Why are the two candIdates of dIfferent . Also needed to make sure that she told the truth. We know donald lIes, Donald Trump lIes consIstently. And she looked PresIdent Ial. Donald Trump was on the run, she had hIm on the ropes. He was on defence the entIre tIme. So she effectIvely won that debate. I entIre tIme. So she effectIvely won that debate. EntIre tIme. So she effectIvely won that debate. I want to ask about the won that debate. I want to ask about the closIng won that debate. I want to ask about the ClosIng Statement. About the ClosIng Statement from PresIdent Trump because I thInk It was one poInt that hIs CampaIgn Team wanted to drIve home, namely, If Kamala HarrIs had all these plans for the economy and ImmIgratIon and so on, why hasnt she done It In the last three and a half years what Is the response to that was yellow she was not presIdent. She was at the heart of the admInIstratIon she was the VIce PresIdent over these last four years but she was not the leader of the free world. And If Donald Trump also thought he could do all the thIngs that he saId he was goIng to do, Health Care for example, he was asked very promInently, what was hIs plan on replacIng the affordable Care Act . He saId, I wIll get back to you on It, essentIally. So hes not even prepared as a candIdate. Taste so hes not even prepared as a candIdate candIdate. We certaInly talk about the candIdate. We certaInly talk about the fact candIdate. We certaInly talk about the fact that, candIdate. We certaInly talk about the fact that, we I candIdate. We certaInly talk| about the fact that, we have been talkIng about the fact that both campaIgns have a very dIfferent vIew on how thIs debate proceeded, and we were dIscussIng thIs before we came on camera of the fact the Donald Trumps payne saId he delIvered masterful performance and he won thIs debate, we are hearIng the same from Kamala HarrIss team. Do you thInk It Is clear to voters after watchIng 90 mInutes of the debate and who stands on the sIde . I debate and who stands on the sIde .. SIde . I do. I have faIth that they reckon sIde . I do. I have faIth that they reckon People SIde . I do. I have faIth that they reckon people saw sIde . I do. I have faIth that they reckon people saw the sIde . I do. I have faIth that I they reckon people saw the same debate we saw. When we look back on the debate that PresIdent BIden had several weeks ago, democrats were honest about how troublIng that debate was. We had lots of Internal dIscussIons about It. We raIse concerns about It. Even PresIdent BIden acknowledged that he dIdnt do that well. You wIll not hear the same level of honesty from the same level of honesty from the republIcan party. The republIcan party. Lets talk about the republIcan party. Lets talk about ImmIgratIon, I the republIcan party. Lets talk about ImmIgratIon, because he represent a Border DIstrIct and thIs has been one of the chIef concerns of amerIcan voters, and we have seen a reductIon In the number of people crossIng the southern border because of the current ExecutIve Order but In the fIrst three and a half years of the bIden HarrIs AdmInIstratIon, record numbers enter the us, wIll thIs be a real worry for Kamala HarrIs . My real worry for Kamala HarrIs . My hope Is that VIce PresIdent harrIs demonstrated very clearly that It was Donald Trump who told the UnIted States congress to walk away from a Border Deal. At Border Deal was wrItten In part by one of the most conservatIve senators In the UnIted States congress. And Donald Trump even saId, blame me, butI congress. And Donald Trump even saId, blame me, but I dont want you to solve a Joe BIden, I would rather have a problem. I would rather have a problem. I wIll tell you, day one, the bIden HarrIs AdmInIstratIon gave congress a comprehensIve ImmIgratIon reform bIll, we were not able to get that across the fInIsh lIne. They then asked congress to do Its job and create a Border SecurIty bIll. I am not a fan of ExecutIve Orders, thIs Is a condItIonal responsIbIlIty. LegIslatIng Is ourjob. My congressIonal responsIbIlIty. But the VIce ResIdent ultImately had to Issue the ExecutIve Order. The VIce PresIdent. It ExecutIve Order. The VIce PresIdent ExecutIve Order. The VIce PresIdent.. PresIdent. It would allay some ofthe presIdent. It would allay some of the concerns presIdent. It would allay some of the concerns that presIdent. It would allay some of the concerns that there I presIdent. It would allay some of the concerns that there Is l of the concerns that there Is sImply a secure border. She has talked about sImply a secure border. She has talked about It sImply a secure border. She has talked about It durIng sImply a secure border. She has talked about It durIng her talked about It durIng her rallIes and she talked about It durIng her IntervIew. She belIeves we can have both a secure border and a path to earned cItIzenshIp. And we can do that and we should do that. The problem Is that In thIs congress, Donald Trump Instructed that the republIcan party should walk away from a bIpartIsan deal. The republIcan party needs to stop lIstenIng to Donald Trump and It needs to start doIng hIsjob to Donald Trump and It needs to start doIng hIs job and workIng wIth us In a bIpartIsan way to address the border and ImmIgratIon. Address the border and ImmIgratIon. Address the border and ImmIaratIon.. ImmIgratIon. ComIng Into thIs debate, ImmIgratIon. ComIng Into thIs debate. The ImmIgratIon. ComIng Into thIs debate, the electIon ImmIgratIon. ComIng Into thIs debate, the electIon has ImmIgratIon. ComIng Into thIs| debate, the electIon has really been on a knIfe edge, do you thInk at The End of the Debate Performance, anythIng that was set on stage wIll move the needle . I set on stage wIll move the needle . set on stage wIll move the needle .. set on stage wIll move the needle ... needle . I hope so. I hope because needle . I hope so. I hope because of needle . I hope so. I hope because of that needle . I hope so. I hope because of that very needle . I hope so. I hope because of that very clearI because of that very clear contrast, because of the fact that Kamala HarrIs has a plan, Donald Trump has a grIevance, Kamala HarrIs looks to the future, Donald Trump wants to take us backwards Into the past, but that wIll move some voters, but I wIll tell you, It wIll notjust come down to the debate. All of us who are members of the CampaIgn Team know Its goIng to contInue to take hard work. We have to contInue to earn every vote out there, fIght for every amerIcan, make sure havIng those conversatIons and work as hard as possIble leadIng up to ElectIon Day so that we can wIn. ElectIon Day so that we can wIn. ElectIon Day so that we can wIn. wIn. The HarrIs CampaIgn say the are wIn. The HarrIs CampaIgn say they are the wIn. The HarrIs CampaIgn say they are the underdogs, wIn. The HarrIs CampaIgn say they are the underdogs, I wIn. The HarrIs CampaIgn say I they are the underdogs, I want to ask you about the polIcy changes, we have seen from VIce PresIdent harrIs, we spoke to the congresswoman and she saId I want my lady to be able to change theIr mInd but the moderators poInted out a number of posItIons where Kamala HarrIs changed her mInd on polIcy, she has really addressed a lot of them, wIll there be a problem . You know, my perspeetIve. There be a problem . You know, my perspectIve, especIally there be a problem . You know, my perspectIve, especIally as I there be a problem . You know, my perspectIve, especIally as a | my perspectIve, especIally as a legIslator, Is that there Is growth that comes wIth experIence, there Is evolutIon that comes wIth tIme, and I certaInly dont have some of the same posItIons I had four years ago or eIght years ago, ten years ago, especIally gIven the shIftIng nature of the challenges that we face. When you look at Donald Trump for example, who one day expresses prIde In the fact that he kIlled Roe V wade, that he nomInated and had appoInted the supreme court that elImInated a womans rIght to reproductIve freedom and then the next day says, but women can trust me, and belIeve me when I say. DIfferent. HavIng seen someone evolve and change over tIme versus havIng someone talk out of both sIdes of the mouth wIthIn a week. Of both sIdes of the mouth wIthIn a week.

What happens In places lIke thIs could very well end up decIdIng the electIon or at least beIng one of the places that decIdes thIs electIon. So what these voters thInk really matters.

That exchange was InterestIng because they were both posIng questIons to each other and neIther of them answered at. ThIs poInt about the republIcans are tryIng to press Kamala HarrIs on Whether there Is a poInt at whIch they would not lImIt abortIon, she dIdnt answer that. ThIs would not lImIt abortIon, she dIdnt answer that. DIdnt answer that. As your Fact Checked dIdnt answer that. As your Fact Checked versIon dIdnt answer that. As your Fact Checked versIon saId I dIdnt answer that. As your l Fact Checked versIon saId and as the moderator saId, In thIs Country, we do not execute babIes, and so I thInk part of the reason why the republIcan TalkIng PoInt around abortIon Is to talk about InfantIcIde whIch Is Illegal In thIs Country Is to draw Peoples AttentIon away from the actual extreme polIcIes that are In place currently today and that are creatIng really heartbreakIng sItuatIons. Several of them, harrIs talked about, about people bleedIng out, about famIlIes who want to have babIes who are denIed access to FertIlIty Treatments, about people who havIng to carry theIr InaudIble republIcan polIcIes that exIst. And as you saId she dId make those poInts herself quIte well durIng the debate, I thInk would be the presumptIon, but It Is on that poInt that she Is beIng quIzzed on, not about the InfantIcIde, no one Is raIsIng that, but Itsjust, he was askIng her Is there a poInt where. AskIng her Is there a poInt where askIng her Is there a poInt where. And she saId she supports where. And she saId she supports reInstatIng where. And she saId she supports reInstatIng the l supports reInstatIng the protectIons of Roe V wade. And If you look at the states that have thIs on the ballot thIs fall, none of them are lookIng to press beyond the protectIons of Roe V wade and In fact, PresIdent Trump saId that he would support the FlorIda Proposal that basIcally would reInstate what was the prevIous protectIons, and then he changed hIs mInd agaIn as to Whether or not he would actually do that. Whether or not he would actually do that. The FlIpsIde Ofthat actually do that. The flIpsIde of that Is that actually do that. The flIpsIde of that Is that donald of that Is that Donald Trump dIdnt answer eIther of the questIons that Kamala HarrIs was puttIng to hIm of Whether he would veto a bIll for a natIonal ban on abortIon at any tIme.. tIme. Yeah, neIther of them answered tIme. Yeah, neIther of them answered the tIme. Yeah, neIther of them answered the questIon tIme. Yeah, neIther of them answered the questIon and I answered the questIon and frankly. Answered the questIon and frankly, both should. PresIdent Trump frankly, both should. PresIdent Trump needs to come out and say are you Trump needs to come out and say are you for Trump needs to come out and say are you for a Trump needs to come out and say are you for a natIonal AbortIon Ban . Are you for a natIonal AbortIon Ban . WhIch Is not somethIng that ban . WhIch Is not somethIng that Is ban . WhIch Is not somethIng that Is fact, rIght now. And kamala that Is fact, rIght now. And Kamala HarrIs and democrats have Kamala HarrIs and democrats have to Kamala HarrIs and democrats have to come out and say at what have to come out and say at what poInt are you satIsfIed wIth what poInt are you satIsfIed wIth makIng sure that an abortIon Is not legal and rare and abortIon Is not legal and rare and hard abortIon Is not legal and rare and hard to come by. It s abortIon Is not legal and rare and hard to come by. Its quIte unusual though and hard to come by. Its quIte unusual though for and hard to come by. Its quIte unusual though for a and hard to come by. Its quIte l unusual though for a republIcan PresIdent Ial candIdate to have thIs kInd of nuanced orfuzzy posItIon, If you want, on abortIon. PosItIon, If you want, on abortIon posItIon, If you want, on abortIon.. AbortIon. 0h, very much so when he Is probably abortIon. 0h, very much so when he Is probably the abortIon. 0h, very much so when he Is probably the only he Is probably the only republIcan PresIdent Ial candIdate that could do It. I thInk candIdate that could do It. I thInk It candIdate that could do It. I thInk It would be an Issue that could thInk It would be an Issue that could lead to other candIdates losIng could lead to other candIdates losIng a could lead to other candIdates losIng a lot of support for the pro lIfe losIng a lot of support for the pro lIfe communIty, many of whom pro lIfe communIty, many of whom that I worked wIth durIng my tIme whom that I worked wIth durIng my tIme before I got to congress and before I left congress, but at the same tIme there congress, but at the same tIme there are congress, but at the same tIme there are democrats that would favour there are democrats that would favour allowIng abortIons at a much favour allowIng abortIons at a much later term that may be what much later term that may be what Ice much later term that may be what Ice PresIdent harrIs would what Ice PresIdent harrIs would. She needs to actually lay out would. She needs to actually lay out her plan also. Donald Trump lay out her plan also. Donald Trump has to answer the hypothetIcal of would you sIgn a natIonal AbortIon Ban whIch Is never a natIonal AbortIon Ban whIch Is never goIng to make It to hIs desk, Is never goIng to make It to hIs desk, she then needs to actually hIs desk, she then needs to actually answer, where does she stand actually answer, where does she stand. Because no matter what anyone stand. Because no matter what anyone says, Roe V wade, as that anyone says, Roe V wade, as that Court Anyone says, Roe V wade, as that court decIsIon, dId not protect that court decIsIon, dId not protect babIes from beIng aborted, beIng born alIve, I have aborted, beIng born alIve, I have talked to nurses who have wItnessed thIs and they have been wItnessed thIs and they have been left to dIe In that hospItal.
