Summary

Hour 2: Pundits Says Kamala Won Debate, Undecided Voters Are Not As Certain: Jeremy W. Peters, Jack Healy, and Campbell Robertson of The New York Times write: “Immediate reaction from political analysts favored [Kamala] Harris, whose attacks appeared to rattle [Donald] Trump. She goaded him over the various criminal and civil charges against him. She said his former aides considered him ‘a disgrace’ and that world leaders laugh at him. At one point, she asked whether he might be ‘confused’—a stinging line given Mr. Trump’s relentless mocking of President Biden’s mental acuity. And she questioned his emotional stability by saying he was not capable of processing his loss in 2020. But not all voters, especially those undecided few who could sway the election, were effusive about the vice president’s performance. In interviews, these undecided voters acknowledged that Ms. Harris seemed more presidential than Mr. Trump. And they said she laid out a sweeping vision to fix some of the country’s most stubborn problems. But they also said she did not seem much different from Mr. Biden, and they wanted change.” You can read the full article here: https://www.nytimes.com/2024/09/11/us/politics/undecided-voters-react-debate.html

0:05.4	Great to be with you.
0:06.4	I'm telling you right now, the fight.
0:08.1	Now, now, listen, granted, it's the far right-wing New York Times.
0:11.9	It's a big conservative conspiracy site, the New York Times. It's a big conservative conspiracy site the New York Times.
0:15.9	They have a whole story in there today about all these undecided voters who watch the debate and
0:22.1	several of them are now leading Trump and they're certainly not voting for Kamala Harris.
0:27.0	Okay? Reuters has the same thing.
0:30.0	CNN did a focus group last night with undecided voters and they're saying the same thing.
0:34.0	See this is why you have to get away from the pundits and the analysis and it's why my analysis is different.
0:41.0	I'll tell you flat out. It was, in my opinion, of all the debates he's
0:47.6	done. And remember I prepped him for some of those. It was his worst. But it doesn't matter because he didn't lose. Because defined
0:56.4	winning and losing, winning is convincing people to vote for you. First of all, last night he didn't have to do that.
1:03.8	That's number one.
1:04.8	And number two, most importantly,
1:07.4	she had to do that and she did not do that.
1:11.3	So you're talking about winning and losing, what's your metric? The metric I told
1:15.3	you this yesterday. Her metric is she has to go in there and kill Trump. She
1:19.8	didn't do that because there's no kill shot to be had here because she owns this economy.
1:27.0	Period.
1:28.0	So I'd like to see him do another one.
