| 0:00.0 | Presented by BP. |
| 0:05.3 | Hey, good morning, everyone. |
| 0:06.8 | I'm Playbook co-author Rachel Bade. |
| 0:08.8 | It's Thursday, October 17th, and we are now less than three weeks out from Election Day. |
| 0:14.4 | And I've got to say, Kamala Harris right now is really showing how bad she wants this job. |
| 0:20.1 | I got to say after a blitz, or mostly friendly shows and podcast last week, she ventured into the Fox Den last night for a sit down with Brett Bear. It was contentious, to say the least. In Paris, she got a little bit mad and pissed off, which we're going to get to in a minute. Trump, meanwhile, he's out there doing |
| 0:37.7 | media appearances, sure, but he's not taking as many risks right now as Harris. Yesterday, he had |
| 0:44.1 | engaged in a town hall with women, which obviously is a tough demographic for him. But it turns out |
| 0:49.7 | that that audience was chock full of Trump supporters, giving him this sort of friendly face to perform to. We are going to talk about all of that today and what it means for each of these candidates' campaigns. And joining me to do that is the one, the only Eugene Daniels, my co-author on Playbook. Hey, Eugene. Hey, girl. Hey, girl. How are you? I'm good. I'm ready for the campaign |
| 1:12.0 | to be over. But will it be over? When? I feel like we keep getting three weeks, but like maybe four weeks. In my head, it's a month out. Like, and it's going to be a while. I think it's longer than a month, Eugene. I mean, everyone's like, okay, these weeks must be crazy for you. And I'm like, Actually, I feel like on election day, that's when everything actually starts. |
| 1:11.0 | That's when shit's going to hit the ban. |
| 1:12.1 | God, that's when everything actually starts. That's when shit's going to hit the ban. |
| 1:31.2 | That's the saddest thing I've ever heard. Yeah. Breathe now while you can. So let's start with |
| 1:38.0 | Harris's Fox News interview. I want to first say that this obviously was risky. Right, Eugene, |
| 1:44.0 | you know this. |
| 1:44.6 | Not many Democratic leaders go on Fox these days because they don't think they're going to get a fair shake. |
| 1:50.2 | And that's especially true this close to an election when she has a lot to lose. |
| 1:55.6 | How do you think that went for her? |
| 1:57.5 | Yeah. I mean, first, I think you're smart to go, right? |
| 2:00.3 | Especially for someone like Harris, who think you're smart to go, right? Especially for someone like Harris, |
| 2:02.1 | who if you're trying to get voters to see you who haven't seen or heard from you, maybe ever, |
