All eyes will be on Kamala Harris and Donald Trump as they come face to face for the first time this afternoon.
The first —and possibly only debate— will be broadcast out of Philadelphia, the biggest city in the battleground swing state of Pennsylvania.
US correspondent Richard Arnold told Mike Hosking the polls show there's only a few points either way in many states.
He says it will be a crucial debate, with no live audience, no notes, microphones will be muted when it's not a candidate's turn to speak, and only mediators will ask questions.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Stateside, Richard Morning mording Mic I'm ready are you?
Speaker 2 (00:04):
I don't know, but ready or not? This might be
the critical moment in the seemingly endless presidential campaign. Here
is the two contenders come Ala Harrison Donald Trump face
off in a few hours. Here the big debate. They
have never been in the same room before. Now they
will be standing what only meters apart in a tiny
space in Philadelphia for their first and likely only debate.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
Encountered.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
The polls much as they were at the start of
the week when we spoke. Trump is up by a
couple of points in Arizona and Florida. Harrison Trump attired
in Georgia, Nevada, and North Carolina. Harris is up by
three points in Michigan. Also in Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. So
those last three are what is sometimes called the blue wall.
If Democrats can win these states and always all these poles,
of course, are within the margin of error. So this
(00:48):
debate in a few hours is critical. It is ninety minutes.
There will be no audience. Mike's are on only when
the candidate questioned is speaking, Otherwise they muted. Only the
moderators can ask questions. There will be no opening state monce.
Trump won the coin toss, so he gets to speak last.
So Trump says he has not been preparing for the debate,
But yes, he has been doing debate prep. Just I
don't call it that, folks. One interesting dynamic is how
(01:11):
Trump deals with a woman. He debated Hillary Couldn't Course
twenty sixteen. Here is a brief moment from that.
Speaker 3 (01:16):
She doesn't of the look she doesn't have the stamina.
I said, she doesn't have the stamina, and I don't
believe she does have the stamina. Believe me, she has
tremendous hate in her heart.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
Poor little females right, don't have the stamina, and boyd
I don't have the law, says Trump. Well, how will
that play at a time of growing gender gap? Here
here is Harris's take on Trump right now. There is
no floor for him in terms of.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
How low he will go, and we should be prepared
for that.
Speaker 3 (01:45):
We should be prepared for the fact that he is
not burdened by telling the truth.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
Republicans arranged a Capitol Hill memorial today for the thirty
US troops who were killed in that suicide bombing that
hit the Trouble departure from Afghanistan three years ago, so
is the politics in the time of this event, three
years on to the day. Harris is bringing two former
Trump officials as debate guests for the Spin Room later tonight.
One is Anthony Scaramucci, who served for ten days coundam
(02:12):
as Trump's communications chief, About as long as an expired
ham sandwich, says a Trump Aid. Now. Other former Trump officials,
Pence Bolton, Mike Millie, Mark esper So, former VP National
Security Advisor, Pit of the Joint Chiefs, and Defense Secrety
appear in Democratic campaign commercials now meantime, Trump said this
bit of complete nonsense at his last rally.
Speaker 3 (02:34):
Tarmelers support states being able to take minor children and
perform sex change operation, take them away from their parents,
perform sex change operation, and send them back home. Can
you imagine you're a parent and your son leaves the
house and you say, Jimmy, I love you so much,
(02:55):
go have a good day in school, and your son
comes back with a.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
Brutal operation rubbish, of course, But then the Internet never lies.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
Right ah, for God's sake. Then we get to Nevada,
where the Murdoch story is going to be fascinating. To
see how this plays out.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
Well, it's succession the sequel, isn't it you thought? The
saga of azillionaire's kids fighting furiously to control the media
empire when he's dead is done with the end of
the HBO mini series Sink Again, Folks in Nevada. Today,
a court case begins where ninety three year old Rupert
Murdock I still kick in trying to overturn a long
standing family trust, which was put in place when Rupert
(03:32):
split from his second wife Anna. The idea what these
children would have equal shares in the Murdoch empire. Latterly, though,
Murdoch has favored his right leaning son Lachlan and stepped
aside to give him a sway a Fox News, Wall
Street Journal, New York Post and so on. Now, three
other Murdoch offspring, James, Elizabeth, and Prudence, are suing to
(03:53):
prevent a move to quash the original family trust. Rupert
arguing that only Lachlan can maintain his empire's commercial all value.
He's trying to keep the legal proceedings under ramps, but
outlets including The New York Times, Washington Post, AP Reuter's
are demanding access to the hearings over the thirty two
billion dollar in New Zealand Murdock Empire. Meantime, horror of
horrors for Rupert and his fifth wife, for Elayner Zakova
(04:17):
or whatever her name is. But his son James has
just endorsed Kamala Harris.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
Oh no, all right, mate, we'll see you Friday. Appreciate
it very much, Richard unlouded states RFK. I thought this
was sorted, but it wasn't. I told you that he
was stuck on the ballot in various swing states after
withdrawing in supporting Trump. So I thought he was stuck
because they couldn't do anything about it apart from go
to court. They went to court and they won, and
so then he was off the ballot. But then the
(04:44):
people in Michigan decided they needed to go to court again,
so they went to the Supreme Court and the Supreme
Court rule five to two, overturning the appeals court decision
that had removed him. And the Secretary of State got
involved in this, So anyway, he's back on. So we'll
keep you post for more from the Mic Asking Breakfast.
