Jeremy Peters from the NYT joins us to recap the wild debate between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump. It was a complete meltdown for Trump while Harris delivered strong messages on abortion, democracy and Trump's crowd sizes. Trump rambled, made baseless allegations and looked terrible. Even Fox News had to admit that Trump lost the debate badly. So where do we go from here? How does Harris keep her momentum going and transition this energy into votes?

0:00.0 | Hey, everybody. We got a great one today, you know, for a change. Jeremy Peters from the New York Times, one of my favorites. He's been doing these focus groups on uncommitted voters this election cycle. There are fewer and fewer of them these days, |
0:22.1 | but still enough that they will probably settle this thing. |
0:25.8 | After this last debate, |
0:27.3 | it looks like the one Trump-Harris debate, |
0:31.6 | appears that there's been some movement in Harris' favor, |
0:35.8 | but, you know, many a slip, twicks, cup, and lip. |
0:39.8 | But you have to admit that Harris's performance was quite impressive and Trump, much less so. |
0:48.9 | Highlights, I like when Kamala pointed out that people are leaving Trump's rallies out of boredom. |
0:55.0 | And he responded by saying, oh, yeah, well, she has to bus people in. |
0:58.6 | And yeah, on top of that, she has to pay them to come. |
1:03.8 | That's right. |
1:06.3 | And, of course, Trump bit on the Haitian immigrants eating the household pets of the good people of Springfield, Ohio. |
1:15.4 | And how about those moderators, Lindsay Davis and David Meir? |
1:20.8 | No, Mr. Trump, there is no state in the nation where you can execute a baby who's just been born. |
1:29.7 | And how about that Taylor Swift? |
1:33.4 | Who does she think she is? |
1:35.3 | urging her fans to register to vote. |
1:38.5 | More than 400,000 did that just in the first 24 hours. |
1:43.6 | 11,780 in Georgia alone, I think. |
1:49.3 | Well, let's go to Jeremy Peters, and a great one, you know, for a change. |

2:05.1 | Thank you for having me. |
