EMERGENCY Podcast | Presidential Debate Recap

Added: Aug 27, 2023

The hosts begin by expressing their excitement about attending the debate and mention that Tucker Carlson and Donald Trump had a podcast that aired at the same time as the debate. They ask the audience which one they watched first. The hosts then discuss their predictions for the winners and losers of the debate. They believe that the moderators were the biggest winners, as they did a good job and received no criticism. They also list Tucker Carlson, Donald Trump, Vivek Ramaswamy, Haley, Twitter, streaming platforms, podcasters, Rumble, and Oliver Anthony as winners. In terms of losers, they mention cable news, ASA Hutchinson, Chris Christie, and pretty much everyone else who participated in the debate. They argue that the absence of Trump from the debate allowed other candidates to have a chance to shine, but none of them were able to make a significant impact. The hosts then delve into the potential alliances being formed between Tucker Carlson, Donald Trump, and Elon Musk. They speculate that Tucker is positioning himself as a king rather than a kingmaker and is aligning himself with Trump and Musk to gain influence and support. They suggest that Tucker's strategy is to gain followers and influence through his Twitter account, which is retweeted by Musk, and then potentially run for office in the future. They also mention that Elon Musk has shifted his support from DeSantis to Vivek, which they find interesting. They argue that Musk's support could be valuable for Tucker if he decides to run for office. Moving on, the hosts share their overall impressions of the debate. They mention that the moderators did a good job and that the candidates did not stand out. They argue that Trump is the clear winner because he did not have to participate in the debate and was able to avoid any potential pitfalls. They also highlight Vivek as a strong candidate and suggest that he would be a formidable opponent if he ran as a Democrat. However, they believe that the other candidates, such as Tim Scott, Doug Burgum, ASA Hutchinson, and Chris Christie, did not make a significant impact and will likely not be major players in the future. The hosts then discuss the recent presidential debate between Joe Biden and Donald Trump. They begin by highlighting the chaotic nature of the debate, with both candidates interrupting and talking over each other. They note that this lack of decorum made it difficult for viewers to gain any substantive information from the debate. The hosts express their disappointment with the debate, stating that it did not provide any clarity or help undecided voters make an informed decision. They argue that the debate was a missed opportunity for both candidates to present their plans and visions for the country. Moving on, the hosts discuss the aftermath of the debate and the reactions from the public. They note that many people were frustrated and turned off by the lack of civility and substance. They also mention the fact-checking that took place after the debate, with both candidates being called out for their false or misleading statements. The conversation then shifts to the impact of the debate on the election. The hosts speculate that the debate may have energized Trump's base, as his aggressive style resonates with his supporters. However, they also acknowledge that the debate may have turned off undecided voters and pushed them towards Biden. The hosts then discuss the potential consequences of the debate for Trump's campaign. They argue that Trump needs a strong support system and someone he can trust, as he may be feeling isolated and used by those around him. They draw a parallel to Aristotle Onassis, who became close friends with Winston Churchill because Churchill trusted him and felt he could open up to him without being used. The hosts also touch on the backlash against Trump and his supporters, particularly from the media and the Democratic Party. They argue that Trump's supporters are frustrated because they feel like they are being used and that their concerns are not being addressed. The conversation then turns to the situation in Ukraine and the recent assassination of Alexander Pregosian, a critic of Vladimir Putin. The hosts discuss the speculation that Putin may be behind the assassination and highlight other suspicious deaths of Putin's critics and enemies.
