| 0:00.0 | The Welcome to Pod Save America. I'm John Favreau. I'm Dan Fifer. |
| 0:22.8 | On today's show, Kamal Harris and Donald Trump are each facing multiple October |
| 0:26.5 | surprises in the final month of the race. And later I sat down with Stacey Abrams this week |
| 0:30.9 | to talk about Georgia, the new restrictions on voting, and having |
| 0:34.3 | your vote counted, and what you can do about it. |
| 0:37.2 | But first, Trump's criminal conspiracy to overturn the last election is back in the news thanks to JD Vance Jack Smith and |
| 0:45.0 | Liz Cheney. Vance kicked off this new cycle during the debate by refusing to say |
| 0:49.7 | that Trump lost in 2020 which became the night's most talked about moment and led to an ad from the |

| 1:52.0 | Instead, after this aid delivered that news, Donald Trump looked |
| 1:57.5 | up at him and said, so what? That is depravity and we must never become numb to it. We must defeat Donald |
| 2:08.0 | Trump on November 5th. There is not an ounce, not an ounce of compassion in Donald Trump. |
| 2:15.6 | He is petty, he is vindictive, and he is cruel. |
| 2:19.9 | And Donald Trump is not fit to lead this good and great nation. |
