Summary

Donald Trump clashes with Kamala Harris in their only scheduled presidential debate. Among the important issues debated: abortion, inflation, and immigrants eating pets. Reasonable people can differ on two of those three issues. Mike is joined by Steve Hayes, editor of The Dispatch to discuss. They disagree on abortion policy, though not on Trump's arguments explaining and advancing his policy. They also disagree on the fairness of the moderators. But their disagreement is a veritable symphony of productivity, as opposed to much of what we heard last night. https://prizepicks.onelink.me/LME0/GIST Produced by Joel Patterson and Corey Wara Email us at [email protected] To advertise on the show, visit: https://advertisecast.com/TheGist Subscribe to The Gist Subscribe: https://subscribe.mikepesca.com/ Follow Mikes Substack at: Pesca Profundities | Mike Pesca | Substack Learn more about your ad choices.

It was three against one on that debate stage this evening.

I forgot the part where the moderator's brought up the consumption of dogs and cats in Springfield.

In Springfield, they're eating the dogs, the people that came in,

they're eating the cats, They're eating the pets of the people that...

That was that was all on him. That was his choice. They did say essentially, really? They ate the cats.

0:52.0

Then he said yes, they ate the cats? Then he said, yes, they ate the cats.

0:54.0

And I am not going to put that on the moderators.

It was, to quote Donald Trump, somewhat unfairly in the context of the election.

1:03.4

It was a bloodbath last night, which also invokes Megan Kelly, does it not, who is a known

1:09.4

Trump antagonist, and even though a conservative and someone who departs from my take on many issues,

1:17.0

a capable broadcaster, I was interested to see how the debate would be reacted to by the professional reactors because through my

1:26.1

eyes and the eyes of two friends and one wife who was watching it that did not go well

1:32.0

for Mr. Trump. He seemed to have a poor command of the facts, his
