I'm going to be now Mark Tieson, former speechwriter to President Bush and Fox News contributor.
Mark, great to see you. We had
Haydn Biden
out. Now we have duck and cover Kamala.
Haydn and slide and Biden
and duck and cover Kamala.
She will try to get through this election cycle without giving a major
interview to a real
journalist. Oh, 100%.
I mean, look, she's rising in the polls right now, but it's a sugar high. All it is is that she's not an octogenarian who has dementia.
That's why people are excited about her. She is the least examined major party nominee,
probably in American history. She didn't make it through the primaries. She didn't make it to Iowa in the first time around. She didn't go through a primary this time around, which means She didn't have a debate where Democrats attacked her record. She hasn't done a single town hall with voters, taking questions from voters, hasn't done a single major interview, hasn't done a press conference, and she's only going to do 1 debate. Now, we all know that 1 debate can ruin a presidential campaign, so there's a great opportunity there for Donald Trump. Has that happened before in modern politics where they've only done 1 presidential debate? I think Ronald Reagan only had 1 debate with Jimmy Carter, but most of the time it's 3 debates at least and they agreed to 2. So Joe Biden took 1 of the debates.
Did he get a pass because the former
nominee got to have 1 of her debates. I think she ought to do, they agreed to 2 debates, they should do at least 2. But 1 debate can end a presidential campaign. We just saw that with Joe Biden. Don't you agree that
the meme
campaign
and the joyful stuff,
that's all gonna kind of fall away in the debate. And it's going to be
bait Donald Trump. To me, that's what they're going to prep her to do, to bait him January 6th or Charlottesville
or go back to, oh, you don't like the way I look or you know, it's gonna be that kind of thing. They're gonna try and get him off his game. Look, if he goes into that debate the way he went into the debate with Joe Biden and focuses on on the record laser laser laser and lets the traps and lets her fall into them She is just as inarticulate as Joe Biden without the excuse of age. So you just need to give her a chance to get her off the teleprompter
and let her fall on her own face. She will do it. She hasn't given anything without a teleprompter yet. So I think he's just gotta be incredibly disciplined because this may be his 1 chance. This may be the 1 time we get her clean
for an unscripted moment. Well, there's American Samoa just gave the roll call.
We got the DJ up there and yeah,
yeah, Cassidy the
DJ. So
Hopefully that will get everyone jazzed up. Mark, you wrote a great piece about the 2 factors
that are most important in understanding the support
that Donald Trump has and that Kamala's vulnerabilities really quickly what those are. So the 2 statistics you need to understand why all this what Biden was saying yesterday didn't fell flat is on Biden and Harris's watch Americans have gone from the highest personal savings ever recorded to the highest personal debt ever recorded.
All the savings were spent down They're not got record credit card debt, record personal debt, and record interest rates, which means they can't get out of that debt, and it's compounding every month. That's real life. By the way, RFK
has now,
apparently they're trying to figure out whether they're going to join forces with Trump.
That would make
a huge difference. That would indeed. I agree 100%. Yes. He's either deciding whether he's going to drop out or he's going to join forces with Trump to beat the party that refused to allow him to have a real debate within the party. That would be quite a thing to have the son of Robert Kennedy endorsing the Republican candidate for president. In the end, will it have been a mistake for them to have shunned him aside as they did? I think very much so, yes. All right.
We appreciate it. Thank you so much, Paul. Thank you.
