| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to the Slate Political Gapvest for Tuesday, September 27th, 2016. |
| 0:11.5 | The I'm So Relieved Edition. |
| 0:13.0 | I'm David Plotz of Atlas Obscura and... |
| 0:15.5 | Hello and welcome to Trumpcast, the show about the man who may or may not have won last night's debate. I'm Jacob We |
| 0:23.7 | have a special joint session. The nation, nation demanded it, emergency joint session of Trumpcast and the |
| 0:30.9 | Gab Fest. Jacob and I are in New York. We are joined by Emily Bazelon of the New York Times |
| 0:36.4 | magazine, who I think is at the New York Times. I am. I am. Hello, hello. That's Synecdoche, I think. And then joining us from, I'm not sure where, maybe in Hofstra. I think it's in Manhattan, not Schenectady. Oh. I didn't Trump say something about Schenectady last night? I own property there. |
| 0:55.0 | Oh. That other voice is, of course, John Dickerson, host of Face the Nation. John, where are you? |

| 1:46.7 | going to try to needle him and get under his skin. And once she mentioned his dad and the money that his |
| 1:52.3 | dad loaned him when he started out, he couldn't resist responding. And it was as if from there, |
| 1:57.9 | he was just no longer in control. Jacob, is that point about her needling him? |
| 2:04.1 | Do you think that is the right lens? |
| 2:06.0 | Do you really think he was unable to resist that and that's what threw him off? |
| 2:09.8 | Or do you think he was never on to begin with? |
| 2:11.9 | I think he got an okay start, mainly because Hillary didn't want to defend NAFTA |
