If you stayed up and watched anyof the presidential debate last night, it
was an hour and a half.It started at nine o'clock. And I
think likely the best way to sumit up might be with this clip.
I just won two club championships,not even senior, two regular club championships.
To do that, you have tobe quite smart, and you have
(00:21):
to be able to hit the balla long way. And I do it.
He doesn't do it. He can'thit a ball fifty yards. He
challenged me to a golf match.He can't hit a ball fifty yards.
We'll probably happy to have a drivingcontest. Yet. I mean, I
got my handicap, which when Iwas vice president, down to a six.
By the way I told me before, I'm happy to play golf.
If you carry your own bag,I think you can do it. That's
(00:41):
the biggest live And he's a sixhandicap of all. I was an eight
handicap. But I've seen your swing. I know you swing. Let's not
act like children. Okay, Yeah, that's an SNL skit. That did
not really happen. It did itreally happen? They did not that much
time, which wasn't that much time? Talking about golf. It was the
(01:03):
latest night and the latest part ofthe moment, the latest part of the
night for night that was towards theend, Oh my gosh. And then
Trump actually having the nerve who broughtup the golf game to say, let's
not act like children. Isn't thatthe stuff that Kim oh, not Kim
Jong un but his dad. Rememberhe used to say I hit a home
(01:23):
run. I hit twenty four homeruns today. Remember he was famous for
saying like things that you could neverdo, like I won the Kentucky Derby
fourteen times on Saturday. Job.I mean maybe Trump won two championships.
Who knows? Here? I like, my thing is always this after a
(01:44):
debate, like the first of all, you watch in kind of two ways.
At least I do it today.I have to interview like political scholars
that do this in colleges and talkabout this. So I have to watch
I really I didn't. I don'twant to do clip notes. I wanted
to watch it, yeah, butI had to stay ups eleven thirty,
and that's what I did. Soyou know, you watch this debate and
(02:04):
you watch it and you feel likeit's off, and you're like, yeah,
This is tough. It's tough tosee Biden like this. He you
know, can't get thoughts together.He's like an older, older gentleman.
You got president form. President Trumpis saying all the things he says in
all of his rallies, and Imean there was no, if anything,
it was just contrast between you know, these are two very different people.
(02:24):
But what I did this morning isthat, you know, and I did
this last night to an extent too. I watched, like you know,
I watched CNN, I watched MSNBC. I watched a little bit of Fox,
but I really wanted to see whatthe vibe was from commentators beyond what
we what I thought, and Imean out of the gate CNN out of
(02:45):
the Gate was like President Biden needsto to to pull out of the race.
I mean that was the first thingthey said, which I was.
I said, well, maybe thisis just their their take on it.
I went to MSNBC, it waskind of the same thing, you know,
And I think the narrative right nowis well, focus on the job
that the current president has done,the things that he's accomplished. Yeah,
(03:07):
that's who you're voting for, notthe performance at the debate, and there
is truth to that. I mean, things are going well, so yes,
but naysayers could point out, well, how do we know. I
mean, I'm playing devil's advocate.You could say, Okay, maybe he's
not the best, maybe he washim the best night, best talker,
(03:27):
but yeah, look at all ofthe things that have happened over the last
four years. And then someone couldsay, well, maybe he's not the
one doing it well. But thespin and all that is, even if
you have a good track record andlisten, how the country is doing is
subjective to who you talk to.But after you watch that, you say,
well, you also need maybe apresident that you know, if Trump's
(03:49):
going to say something, you wanthim to go after him and say,
actually, you're you're not. That'snot true, And there wasn't a lot
of that, And it was justone of the things said that Biden's debate
performance was poor, stammer and stumbling. I'm yeah, just based on I
did. We did not watch atall. As a matter of fact,
I gave Warren a heads up aroundseven ish. I said, why don't
he just started Cobra Kai because he'sa flipper, So I said, why
(04:12):
don't you put yourself in Netflix orwherever Cobra Kai is so you're not tempted
to flip around, I said,because you just you don't need the aggravation.
And he did. He wound upwatching Cobra Kai and whatever. So
that clip that you just played isall. I know, the golf clip.
That's it. But I'm just I'mtalking about his how shaky his voice
sounded. And I'm just surprised becausethere was a lot riding on this and
(04:36):
you you kind of just had theone job to do, which was at
least project authority. Yeah, youknow, and maybe and maybe in other
clips I would have heard that Iin that one, I did not.
It was yeah, it was tough, and and you know, and some
are saying, hey, Trump hadhis share of gaffes as well, but
(04:58):
just that was not the story.Like for the first time, some of
the things that he says that arekind of wild, and you go,
you know, the biggest this ever, I had, the biggest this.
I want all that. You like, you're sitting there going like, okay,
you know, you know they're goingto fact check those things. They're
fine, but they didn't do itin what real time, No, which
just I got a tweet this morningthough, all the factual errors. Yeah,
(05:19):
so there we go. I mean, here's the one thing I'll say,
never listen to what anybody else says, like honestly, you got to,
like you even said it, likeyou didn't want to watch last night,
like I and we're talking about ita little bit here, but at
some point you should always I'm notsaying this directly to you, but you
should always watch it. You shouldanybody that's going to go vote or watch
(05:40):
a debate. I mean you haveto. I think you got to know
what you're what you're going for here. Well, we we discussed this,
but at this point, you feelvery strongly about one or the other,
right, I mean, you justdo. And I don't think anyone's well,
actually I don't know that because Isaw a lot of like hardcore said
this to you guys just off theair, Rosie O'Donnell, who is it
(06:03):
about as liberal as they get?Uh? Put on Instagram? Democrats need
someone because I thought, you're notgonna you're not gonna jump ship. You're
just like, this is what youknow, this is what we got.
So we just we're going with it. I wonder what will happen. Though.
If they do decide to nominate someoneelse as a Democrat, well they
(06:24):
have the opportunity to do that nowat the convention. And I think that's
why these debates happened before the convention. I mean, don't I feel like
that would be a bigger disaster.But I think it's somebody who's only got
five months and has to catch upand listen. I think if you talk
to any young person, it's BradleyCooper. If you talk to a young
person though, watching, they're Imean, they're not impressed with anybody.
(06:45):
I mean that, no, youngpersons, You're America. America is the
loser in all of this, becausethis is what we're stuck with. These
are our two options, and it'sjust really sad and it's embarrassing for us.
And you know, gosh, whatif the rock stepped in? Would
(07:05):
that just be a slam dunk?What did the rocks an't mind your own
business? Was that as hard assomething like something like that? Anyway,
you can smell what the rock's cooking. I like that too. I like
that too.

was an hour and a half.It started at nine o'clock. And I
