Your show. I was. Have a good night. Thank you. We re just 24 hours out from the vice presidential campaign. And already the harriswalz campaign has picked the most important part of that debate. It s really rich for democratic leaders to say donald trump is a unique part of democracy when he overturned peaceful power. Who won the election? i would rather focus on the future. You have a real clear choice of who s going to honor democracy and who s going to honor donald trump. That was an absurd statement that donald trump peacefully turned over power. If you watched the debate you would have seen j. D. Vance trying to put a normalcy. It is hard to defend donald trump s action. There s a lot of bad data points there. Tonight today it sort of feels like the news gods watched last night s debate and saw j. D. Vance appalling answer and decided to highlight the whole issue. Because today a federal judge in washington, d. C. Unsealed a partially redacted a statement from jack smith in which

He led the process for Harrises Vp Choice and Coming Up first. Later i have been wanting to hit the trail with doug im half all summer and we talked about everything and even some fantasy football. Okay. I have been thinking a lot lately about that moment a few weeks ago and you remember The One. When Kamala Harris walked out on the Debate Stage and shook Donald Trumps hand. She was pretty aggressive and didnt wait for him and she literally leaned in into his face. I have been thinking about that moment because that image is an example of the campaign she has run pretty much since. Instead of ignoring issues where she is perceived to have a disadvantage, which, by the way every candidate does have, she is diving right into them. Take the economy. Time and again voters favor Donald Trump when it comes to the economy by the polls and as much as that bends your mind because he talks about tariffs which would raise costs for everybody and getting taxes for corporations which he loves to ta
What they are voting for but still he is talking about his challenger, dave mccormick, as being against the very issues he voted for. Take a listen to that. When it comes down to the decision of voter has to make, they will make a different decision based upon the president ial race, in the president ial race or a series of considerations and they will make a decision in my race.
