Hey, Michael Knowles here, and do I have a treat for you?

The latest episode of Daily Wire backstage is right around the corner, and you do not want to miss it.

Don't miss me.

Ben Shapiro, Matt Walsh, Andrew Claven, and the God King, Jeremy Boring.

As we discuss the latest news and cultural events, all while enjoying some fine whiskey and cigars.

It is going to be all that and more.

Take a listen.

Take a listen. Well, that was 90 minutes we'll never get back.

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

I believe, what she needed to accomplish,

which was just essentially having a pulse, right, showing that she is at least capable of giving

an answer, even if it wasn't ever a particularly competent one or to any question that was

actually asked of her. Whereas, you know, we needed to see Donald Trump take on, it was obviously horribly moderated, perhaps the worst moderated debate in history.

But we needed to see that 2016 magic when Anderson Cooper tried to pull that same sort of stunt on Donald Trump in one of his debates with Hillary Clinton.

And Trump took on all comers.

Here, he was fact checked, maybe on 50% of the questions that he was asked. He never once. Even when they lied, 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. 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... 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. He took the bait on nearly every question. Every time she said something

that you knew was going to get his goat, he just let it happen. So, for example, when she gave

him the bait on his crowd sizes, on people are leaving your crowds, they're leaving her alleys, he couldn't resist going after her about the crowd size. About January 6th, about the election of 2020. These are all distractions. The only thing that mattered tonight for Donald Trump was defining her, and he did not define her, which means that I still checked the calendar. It was over a couple months until the election.
