Today we're going to talk about Trump and Republicans shooting themselves in the foot in the aftermath of the debate,

and I interview Mark Cuban about Trump's debate disaster.

Elon Musk's use of Twitter to spread disinformation, and what he's doing with cost plus drugs to bring drug prices down.

I'm Brian Teller Cohen and you're listening to no lie.

So the debate clearly was a disaster for Trump.

But what Trump and Republicans decided to do in the aftermath of the debate was arguably just as destructive.

Look, when Biden lost, no one on the left was saying that he won. No one acting in good faith anyway. But Trump loses and you

take a look at the conspiracy theories that have just consumed the Republican Party and

right-wing media. ABC literally had to issue a statement confirming that they didn't

give the questions to Kamala Harris in advance because Republicans are so committed to the

bit of claiming that they helped her cheat. Like, what questions are you going to give

Kamala Harrison advance? It's a political debate. They're going to ask you about

abortion and the economy and immigration. This isn't 11th grade physics. There's

no surprises here.

The first question was, when it comes to the economy,

do you believe Americans are better off than they were four years ago?

Wow, talk about a curveball. The fact that Trump supporters think that Donald Trump's inability to respond to basic questions

about politics means that Kamala got the questions in advance just betrays how ill-prepared

and ill-equipped he is for the job.

If you can't guess that you're going to be asked about abortion at a presidential debate in

2024 without feeling like you were somehow duped by the moderators, you probably shouldn't be on that stage.

Another conspiracy theory was that Kamla was being fed answers through an earpiece.
