Trump vs. Biden on CNN

Episode Transcript

(00:00):
Trump made a big mistake. Myfriends, you know how much I love
Trump, I back them, Isupport him not one hundred but one thousand
percent. Yet he should have heldout for a better deal. So here
is now exactly what took place.Joe Biden, under pressure to try to
reverse his flagging, failing campaign,challenge Trump to two debates, the first

(00:24):
one on CNN June twenty seventh,the second on ABC News on September tenth.
Trump, supremely confident that he candestroy Biden any format, any venue,
any network, immediately agreed. Butthe devil, as they say,
is in the details, and thedetails are not good. What Biden has

(00:47):
effectively done is he has boxed Trumpin on both debates. The moderators are
going to be a Dana Bash andJake Tapper on CNN. They are two
and Trump assassins. Their job isto destroy Trump, and not only that,
there will be no live audience inwhich Trump could feed off of that

(01:11):
positive energy. In fact, it'sgoing to be in a TV studio and
the most important thing, CNN andthose two moderators will have full control over
Trump's mic. They can cut himoff after he speaks, They can cut
him off when he's done, theycan cut him off if he wants to
interject or challenge Biden. In otherwords, they will set the agenda,

(01:34):
they will ask the questions. Theywill control Trump's microphone, and their job
it's not one on one, it'sgoing to be three on one. Their
job will be to argue with Trump, debate Trump, fluster Trump, hammer
him on January sixth, hammer himabout Stormy Daniels, hammer him about law

(01:57):
fair, while Joe Biden will getsoftball after softball after softball. In fact,
and here's my prediction, you cantake it to the bank. They're
probably gonna give Biden the questions beforehand, so he'll have the answers ready.
If anything, he'll probably have anear piece in which somebody can simultaneously give

(02:21):
him the answers should he have abrain freeze or stumble. In other words,
they have set a trap for Trump. Trump should have held out for
much better terms. He's the onein the lead. Biden is the one
who's behind in the polls. Trumpdoesn't even need a debate. Biden is

(02:42):
the one who desperately needs a debate. Without any debates, Biden's campaign is
going to continue to go down.He needs to change the entire trajectory of
the race. That's why they wantto reset with a debate. Trump should
demanded, at a minimum, eitherneutral moderators or better yet, no moderators.

(03:06):
Any forum would have done five orsix questions. Have somebody just be
a clockwatcher, monitor the clock,make sure everyone has equal time. But
in this he surrendered everything. Andwhen Trump offered to do a third debate,
this time on more neutral ground FoxNews with Brett Baer and Martha McCallum

(03:29):
as the moderators, guess what Bidensaid, no deal. He wants two
debates. He wants it on histerms, his turf, his network,
his journalists, and Trump just gaveit to him. I hope Trump knows
what he's doing, but my fearis he may have just shot himself in

(03:52):
the foot. We'll find out.June twenty seventh,
