slash Ben. So last night, big Democrat debate. And the first 45 minutes of the debate, nothing

happened. The first 45 minutes of the debate, everybody sort of patted each other on the back.

They had this group hug. And then things got a little spicy. So here is the very, very short summary of how this thing went. Not a great night for Pete Buttigieg. Yeah, he had his moments, but not a great, probably the worst night for Pete Buttigieg he's had so far. Really bad night for Elizabeth Warren. So some people are giving Warren more credit than she deserves here. Warren had a bad night. Bernie Sanders is always Bernie Sanders. Joe Biden is always Joe Biden. And Amy Klobuchar

forced everybody else to eat salad with a comb. So it was actually a pretty good night for Amy

Klobuchar. So let's just jump right in to this debate because the big winner, as always,

whenever we have a Democratic internal debate is President Trump. There's a swing state poll out

today that shows that in the swing states, Biden is tied with Trump, that he leads, Trump does, every other Democratic candidate who is

on that stage last night. There's a reason for this, and that is that Democrats continue to

give President Trump campaign commercials. We haven't even seen Trump weaponize all of the contents

that Democrats have given him in the past several months.

And there's a lot of it. I mean, a lot of it. So this whole thing starts off. This whole debate starts off. And again, they were down to only seven candidates who were on the stage. Tom Steyer is not a real candidate. And Andrew Yang was provided his typical two minutes and 30 seconds to talk and say that he's going to give everybody $1,000 and all of this. but there were really five candidates on the stage,

five serious candidates for the presidency. Amy Klobuchar is only considered a serious candidate, one, because she's a senator, and two, because she's running at about 7% in Iowa. So you could see the possibility of a late surge by Amy Klobuchar if, for example, she starts to draw away support from Pete Buttigieg,

which is exactly why she went after Buttigieg last night. Buttigieg was by far the most attacked candidate on the stage. Joe Biden sort of stood off to the side, so did Bernie Sanders, and they watched the kids clock each other. And by kids, I mean a 70-year-old senator from Massachusetts and a 37-year-old newbie from South Bend, Indiana, and Amy Klobuchar, who,

let's be honest, you wouldn't want to meet Amy Klobuchar in the dark alley, considering all of the stories that have been written about her and her apparently sadistic tendencies. In any case, this thing starts with everybody talking about impeachment, because impeachment is the order of the day. And don't worry, we'll get to impeachment a little bit later on in the show. Nancy Pelosi, by the way, has a new

strategy on impeachment. And that is we're not going to give the charges to the Senate, which is the

dumbest strategy of all time. In fact, one of the Democrats' key witnesses in their House Judiciary

Committee hearing was a Harvard Law professor.
