So, Good evening everybody. We are obviously not in the studio but instead in an undisclosed location we are just a few minutes

after the conclusion of the first presidential debate in Atlanta hosted by CNN

between Donald Trump and Joe Biden. I honestly found that more entertaining than I expected to. Oftentimes I actually have trouble even though it's my job, I guess, to watch the entirety of these debates.

And I often think that only the first 30 minutes or 45 minutes matter because I can't imagine most

people, most voters watching until the end either.

And so you just always get the impression of the last half, doesn't really matter much,

it's by then pretty boring, you know exactly what's going to, how it's going to go.

But this definitely was interesting the whole time I thought and you

know I wish I could come on and talk about all the different substantive debates and disputes each of them had and analyze how I think their different policy or ideological visions are going to matter, but honestly none of that had the slightest importance because what both of them actually had to do is demonstrate that they are not too old and to

inept and too cognitively disabled just to speak sentences and perform the job and

so obviously Donald Trump succeeded in that.

He was like as focused and as energized as you've ever seen him being

and Joe Biden, I mean, it was an absolute disaster.

You could not have fed any more into all of the biggest concerns and fears,

even among Democratic voters, about Joe Biden being too old and incapable. and

among Democratic voters about Joe Biden being too old and incapable

an adult to do the job, then everything that Joe Biden did from the

first second that he walked in even,

he just had that like old old man, like, shuffle, that very like stiff, draggy, posture, and it's like

walking like one tiny little step up to the next as though he's afraid at any moment he's going to fall down and break his hip.

And Trump has had that normal Trumpian posture, being extremely confident and being very

president. And I think that actually the confident and being very present.
