0:00.0	Why is President Trump skipping the first Republican debate? That's a very interesting question,
0:09.6	I think. Trump confirmed that he was skipping the debates. In fact, if you read his statement that
0:14.9	he released about the Republican debate in Milwaukee tomorrow, he actually referred to the debate
0:23.3	as plurals insinuating that he's not going to go to any of the debates. This is what he posted
0:26.8	on True Social. He said, new CBS poll just out has me leading the field by, quote-unquote,
0:32.5	legendary numbers. Trump 62%, 46 points above de-sync demonias, who's crashing like an
0:39.2	ailing bird. Ramaswami 7%, Pence 5%, Scott 3%, Haley 2%, Sloppy Chris Christie 2%,
0:47.1	Ada Hutchinson 1%, Trump said, the public knows who I am and what a successful presidency I had
0:53.5	with energy independence, strong borders and military. Biggest ever tax and regulation cuts,

1:23.3	prosecution, would be used against him. Since especially the Georgia lawsuit, I guess all of them,
1:28.9	the one in the Georgia indictment, the one in Georgia, the one in Manhattan, the special counsel
1:34.8	Jack Smith, they all have to do with his speech, mostly his tweets, his comments, his speeches.
1:40.0	So there's some people on X who are proposing that he's not doing it out of prudence,
1:44.5	because anything he says about it will be used against him in these open cases.
1:48.7	I don't quite buy that. I don't think that that's the reason. There are some other people
1:53.1	who are saying that voters have a right to hear from the candidate. They have a right to hear
1:58.1	from Donald Trump. They have a right to hear from Joe Biden. Biden too is refusing to debate
