| 0:00.0 | Hello sports fans and welcome back to the Bill Press Pod, this very special edition of the Bill Press Spot. |
| 0:13.0 | Following up on the second night of the first presidential debate with the second group of ten candidates, |
| 0:20.0 | I watch the debate, like all of you, and I'm here now |
| 0:23.6 | with our producer of the Bill Press pod, Jay Feldman, to take a quick look at it and give you |
| 0:29.4 | my impressions. Jay, let's go. So, Bill, overall, what did you think about the Thursday night debate? |
| 0:37.4 | Well, first of all, it was a lot you think about the Thursday night debate? |
| 0:40.4 | Well, first of all, it was a lot more lively than the first night. |
| 0:41.4 | Which you predicted. |
| 0:49.5 | Which I predicted, given that there were heavier hitters on Thursday night than there were Wednesday night. But overall, first of all, I just want to say, I was really proud of the fact that as a Democrat, that these 20 people up on stage, I mean, they were good people with good ideas, no embarrassment, no major gaffes. |

| 1:35.6 | it was staged for the staging of the debate by the Democratic National Committee, I just say |
| 1:41.5 | kudos to them. In terms of the Thursday night debate, I believe |
| 1:48.3 | the clear winner was Kamala Harris. She was tough. She was articulate. She proved, I think, |
| 1:55.9 | she could take on Donald Trump. She proved certainly she could take on Joe Biden. I thought she had showed the most |
| 2:04.0 | fire without being angry and without shouting. And I also thought she had the best line of the |
| 2:13.5 | night when she just said when everybody, at one point when everybody was talking over each other, you couldn't understand what anybody was saying. And she just said when everybody at one point when everybody was talking over each other |
