Hey everybody, this is Matt Walsh.

0:01.3

Drop everything you're doing and check out the latest episode of Daily Wire backstage.

0:04.7

You're going to hear Jeremy Boring, Ben Shapiro, Andrew Clavin, Michael Knowles,

0:08.1

and yours truly talking about all the important issues affecting you and your family.

0:11.6

You don't want to miss it unless you're a leftist, in which case you're canceled. Well, that was 90 minutes, we'll never get back.

0:41.7

Truly a difficult night, I think, for President Trump, Kamala Harris accomplished, I believe,

0:48.5

what she needed to accomplish, which was just essentially having a pulse, right?

0:52.9

Showing that she is at least capable of giving an answer,

0:55.7

even if it wasn't ever a particularly competent one

0:58.3

or to any question that was actually asked of her.

1:01.1

Whereas, you know, we needed to see Donald Trump take on,

1:04.9

it was obviously horribly moderated,

1:07.0

perhaps the worst moderated debate in history,

1:09.2

but we needed to see that 2016 magic

1:11.1

when Anderson Cooper tried to pull that same sort of stunt on Donald Trump in one of his

1:15.6

debates with Hillary Clinton, and Trump took on all comers. Here, he was fact-checked,

1:21.3

maybe on 50% of the questions that he was asked. He never once. Even when they lied,

1:25.7

and they lied explicitly. He never once challenged them on the whole, I think, a pretty difficult night. So here's my take on this particular debate. We're going to talk about a lot today. We'll talk about it a lot tomorrow. And a week from now, it's not going to matter at all. And the reason it's not going to matter at all is because nothing fundamentally changed here. The people of America still don't know Kamala Harris.

1:44.7

Donald Trump has not done his job in making sure that the people of America actually know anything about her positions. 30% of Americans say they don't know anything about her positions, and they still don't know anything about her positions because the moderators never pressed her on any of her positions, and Donald Trump didn't either. On Donald Trump's side of the aisle, Donald Trump did not perform tonight. He didn't do an amazing job calling her on her BS. The best thing he said all night was his closing statement, which is what he should have opened with. He closed with, why didn't you do it? That should have been the very first thing he said in the debate. And the fact that that wasn't what he said right off the top was a mistake. He was also incredibly distractible tonight.

2:17.7

He took the bait on nearly every question. Every time she said something that you knew was going to

2:22.8

get his goat, he just let it happen. So, for example, when she gave him the bait on his crowd

2:27.9

sizes, on people are leaving your crowds, they're leaving her alleys, he couldn't resist
