00:00I think that he was, they said they were going to drug him, the reality is it's as though
00:10they lobotomized him.
00:11Okay, great.
00:12Thank you.
00:13The sad truth is, this is a national security threat to the United States of America.
00:15To have a president of the United States that is this far removed from reality, I think
00:20is a threat to our country.
00:22And when you tie together the records of Trump versus Biden, it wasn't just the record and
00:26the words.
00:27Americans can see it in their own eyes that this is not a president who was actually with
00:31him.
00:32It was sad.
00:33It made me sad.
00:34It was uncomfortable to watch.
00:35Many Americans don't love this president.
00:39I worry, this president has family members who don't love him.
00:42Because any loving family member would not put a man like this through the hell that
00:46they're actually putting him through.
00:48The only times he came alive, Joe Biden did during the night, the only times he had even
00:53a spark of life to him was when he's talking about January 6th, was when he's talking about
00:58Trump's convictions.
00:59He doesn't actually give a damn about the issues that affect Americans.
01:02He only gives a damn about the issues that try to actually dunk on Trump.
01:06And I think it's a great thing that, you know what, President Biden came across as the guy
01:10who is the mean guy in the room.
01:12See people talk about President Trump and his social media tweets and the things that
01:15they might find mean about them.
01:17I actually think President Biden came across as the more begrudged gentleman in the room
01:22tonight.
01:23Answering questions that he was asked.
01:25Do you think there might be calls amongst Democrats, I know you're not a Democrat,
01:29to replace him?
01:31The fact of the matter is this man cannot continue as, maybe make it to the end of his
01:35term as President of the United States.
01:37I have deep concerns for our own country, even for the next six months with this man
01:41in charge.
01:42When you think about the greatest threats that we have faced in our lifetime to the
01:45homeland of the United States of America, and that this is the man who's the commander
01:48in chief, supposedly making those decisions.
01:51That should be frightening to every American.
01:53And I do think that we are due for a Democratic Party that has a reckoning ahead of it to
01:58say that if this man is the best they could put up, that says everything you need to know
02:02about the modern Democratic Party.
02:04I think Trump came out unambiguous anyway.
02:06Do you think that Trump won this debate tonight?
02:08Do you think he performed how he went out there and did his job and convinced those
02:13undecided voters, including the 8% here in Georgia, that he is the guy for the job?
02:18I think he did.
02:19He exceeded my already high expectations.
02:21He hands down won this debate.
02:23And the reason why is not only did Trump win it, but Biden lost it.
02:26Both those happened at the same time.
02:28Did he convince independents tonight?
02:30I think he actually did.
02:31The moments where he talked about, you know what my vengeance and retribution will be?
02:34It will actually be success in this country.
02:37People saw, they tried to bait him into it.
02:39He stayed on his policy record.
02:41And I think it was a beautiful thing.
02:42At the same time, he didn't compromise on his principles.
02:44They tried to get him to talk about climate change.
02:46Well, you know what he said?
02:47I care about clean air.
02:48I care about clean water.
02:49That's not something that you usually hear from Republican candidates.
02:51It's not something that the media usually ascribes to Donald Trump.
02:54And so I thought he had a chance to show a side of him that independents haven't seen
02:58so far.
02:59And I think that he not only hands down won the debate.
03:01Now he's a better golfer apparently, but he's apparently a better debater.
03:04It's not even about who wins the debates, who wins the voters coming out of it.
03:07And I think the voters had the chance to see a brighter side of President Trump than
03:10they're usually able to see through the media.
03:12And I think voters also saw a truly mean and kind of vindictive side of Joe Biden in the
03:17few moments where he did have some life.
03:19Sprinkly, Jeff.
03:20That's what I believe we saw.
03:21What do you think will be the best part from Trump and what will the worst part?
