Trump and Biden have a chance to prove their mettle in the first presidential debate, but will they be able to do it? Plus, a new report suggests intermittent fasting doesn t help you lose weight, and a new study suggests eating in a restricted window of time can actually improve your weight loss.
00:01:13.040His objective is to get through the debate.
00:01:14.760I suspect Joe Biden will be looking for every opportunity to get interrupted by the president,
00:01:22.300by the moderator, Chris Wallace, who is known to put his stamp on a debate,
00:01:26.660which is not necessarily a good thing because it should be about the candidates, not the moderator.
00:01:30.800But Joe Biden will be looking to avoid what I think is the greatest challenge that he faces when he speaks,
00:01:36.440and that's completing a thought, a paragraph, or a sentence.
00:01:39.920If Joe Biden finishes the debate standing, his team will undeniably take credit.
00:01:45.360They will declare victory with anything other than a sort of sputtering and puttering conclusion to Joe Biden's presentations.
00:01:53.860And I think that's where the president needs to ensure that he gives Joe Biden sufficient time,
00:01:59.460sufficient rope, one might say, to tangle himself up and ensnare himself in his own thoughts and concepts.
00:02:06.180The topics for the debate essentially are the universe.
00:02:10.580I mean, the records of the candidates, the response to coronavirus,
00:02:14.960dealing with the mob rule and racial discord that the country is currently encountering.
00:02:19.680And so I don't suspect there will be a whole lot of focus.
00:02:22.500I expect the candidates will be jabbing each other a good amount.
00:02:25.440And there's not really a live audience the way we would normally anticipate.
00:02:29.960And so the, you know, hems and haws and laughters and cheers and jeers from the audience unlikely to be a critical element that we see here.
00:02:38.180Another thing we'll miss from typical debates is the spin room.
00:02:41.400I've gone for presidential and gubernatorial debates before to advocate for my preferred candidate's position following a debate.
00:02:48.860I've been there when it's been easy to do because your candidate does really well.
00:02:52.500And I've been there when it is difficult to do because they don't do well.
00:02:56.080And here that spin will largely be occurring in Twitter sphere and throughout social media and digital media
00:03:04.280because there's not that great assembly of energy that we're typically used to.
00:03:08.960So it should be an exciting first debate.
00:03:50.320They have sought a break every 30 minutes for the candidate, clearly, you know, demonstrating, I think,
00:03:57.920a lack of mental rigor that the Biden campaign is worried about regarding their candidate and no agreement from the Trump campaign on those breaks.
00:04:06.260So while both sides seem to be arguing for specific things to ensure that the debate is consistent with the standards of the candidates,
00:04:13.720I think it's also recognizable to note that you didn't see a whole lot of agreement on those terms.
00:04:20.740The number one question I get as I travel the country interacting with Americans and airports and restaurants and on the street is
00:04:31.860one of the folks going to jail who set up the president.
00:04:35.480And we've talked about that a lot on the podcast.
00:04:37.060But the number two question I get is, how'd you lose all that weight?
00:06:39.520It is with great sadness and sorrow that we mourn to the Kuwaiti people, the Arab and Islamic nations, and the friendly peoples of the world,
00:06:48.220the death of the late His Highness Sheikh Shabbat al-Almad al-Jabbar al-Sabah,
00:06:54.580emir of the state of Kuwait, who moved next to his lord.
00:06:58.740State Television announced the death after playing a series of prayers.
00:07:02.680News of his death comes two months after the ruler was flown to the United States in U.S. Air Force C-17,
00:07:09.860just days after ongoing an unspecified surgery at his home.
00:07:14.640We hope that the relationship between the United States and Kuwait will endure any one leader,
00:08:54.560This report from investigative journalist Sarah Carter at sarahcarter.com.
00:09:00.500Riot fund promoted by Kamala Harris helped bail out child predator.
00:09:04.880Why hasn't she been forced to explain her support for this fund?
00:09:08.720A recent Daily Caller News Foundation investigation discovered that a bail fund promoted by Senator Kamala Harris actually bail out a man accused of sexually assaulting an eight-year-old girl.
00:09:19.420The bail fund, known as the Minnesota Freedom Fund, allowed the child predator to get out of jail in July, according to the documents that were uncovered by the Daily Caller News Foundation.
00:09:29.280The Minnesota Freedom Fund was touted by Harris, along with other Democratic supporters and celebrities, as a means of supporting rioters that destroyed the city of Minneapolis following the tragic killing of George Floyd.
00:09:41.420So, this is yet another thing that hasn't been explained by Kamala Harris.
00:09:48.380And if you look at a lot of these funds that have been created, they're being supported by corporate America.
00:09:56.340And the result is less safety in our communities.
00:10:00.060By one means, that safety is eroded because there is a diminished deterrent to the rioting.
00:10:08.240You know, if you go out and break through a Nike store and walk out with some Mayor Jordans, that you're less likely to face consequences if Hollywood and corporate America have set up this fund to provide for your release.
00:10:22.440And similarly, if those funds are resulting in folks getting out of jail or prison who might otherwise need to be there, that also contributes to eroding safety.
00:10:34.300And it creates this compounding effect when you have law enforcement officials, prosecutors in some of these jurisdictions saying if people spit on police, if they harm police, if they assault police, that'll just be viewed as political speech.
00:10:47.080It won't be viewed as the assault or criminal activity that it is.
00:10:51.480I think that we need to support our police and our law enforcement.
00:10:56.260I think we need to stand up to the corporate left and the political left as they do damage to America.
00:11:05.680Yesterday, we covered the Project Veritas investigative journalism showing extensive ballot harvesting and election fraud in the state of Minnesota.
00:11:18.180The president only just lost Minnesota in 2016.
00:11:22.080And he believes that the effect of these riots and the eroding civil society fanned and fueled and endorsed by a lot of the left wing political leaders in Minnesota will cause folks to vote Republican and vote for the president.
00:11:38.340And so there is an effort on both sides to really hunker down in Minnesota politically.
00:11:44.600And for the president, that's meant a lot of stops and visits to the state, a lot of visits from members of the first family.
00:11:50.620But for the left, it is meant utilizing the ballot deployment system to try to manufacture votes that were not lawfully cast.
00:11:59.980Check out the episode that we've done previously on Project Veritas to get that information.
00:12:05.680But the new update, according to the Daily Wire, is that Tulsi Gabbard has joined the calls to end this ballot harvesting.
00:12:13.360Tulsi Gabbard has largely been shunned by the Democratic Party as a consequence of her more right-leaning social views.
00:12:22.120She crosses party lines often to vote with Republicans on foreign policy issues at times.
00:12:27.800I've worked with Congresswoman Gabbard and, matter of fact, have an upcoming project with her we'll be reporting on tomorrow.
00:12:34.860But her willingness to speak truth to power in the Democratic Party is certainly admirable.
00:12:40.420And even when you have a Democrat who is a presidential candidate who is very critical of Donald Trump saying,
00:12:46.240this is wrong, this is illegal, I think there's an obligation to listen and to respond.
00:12:52.060And it's certainly my hope that the Department of Justice is looking into this information collected by Project Veritas
00:12:59.260that seems to evidence the commission of crimes.
00:13:01.800Yesterday, I joined the Secretary of Agriculture, Sonny Perdue, in Jay, Florida.
00:13:11.740He and I held a town hall meeting with farmers who are still recovering from Hurricane Sally.
00:13:16.240I want to give an update to the folks back home in northwest Florida that we expect Santa Rosa County to receive a disaster declaration today.
00:13:24.900And I'm working very closely with the White House for the Panhandle to be eligible for individual assistance.
00:13:31.320For people who are impacted by the flooding and damage and destruction of Hurricane Sally, I've gotten nothing but positive feedback from the White House.
00:13:39.380There's a little bit of paperwork that they've still got to get through FEMA.
00:13:43.640It's a little bit more difficult because in water events and flooding events, the damage is not as evident as it is in windstorm events.
00:13:51.760You've got to get in houses, look at water lines, designate certain neighborhoods for the type of major disaster, harm, loss.
00:14:01.320And that would justify individual assistance in the Panhandle counties impacted by Hurricane Sally.
00:14:06.780So again, working closely with the White House should have more updates, but got great feedback from some of our farmers.
00:14:13.160Not only how we can be helpful responding in the disaster phase of this, but also how the president's trade policies can put America first and can allow our farmers to be successful.
00:14:26.460Tariff payments have been made to farmers.
00:14:28.260I heard from a number of them that the president's policies of taking these tariffs and utilizing it to help farmers has been very consequential, has allowed folks to stay in their family farms.
00:14:37.480And I support that decision by the president because our great patriotic farmers have been targeted by China and they deserve the full support of our country because food security is national security.
00:14:49.120You know, in this last pandemic, availability of protective equipment, vaccines, supplies, tests, all of that really was shown to be far too offshored in our nation.
00:15:01.600Imagine if the same happened with food, imagine if for some reason the food supply chain was impacted, we sure would be grateful for any of the programs that supported American farming and that ensured that we could grow food to support our population.
00:15:16.860So I support the farmers. I support the policies that ensure that we're able to maintain diversity of crop, strong supply chain response from disaster and some sense of predictability for those who are out there planting and growing and harvesting.
00:15:33.860America's farmers are great patriots. I know the Trump administration stands behind them. And so do I.
00:15:38.980Thanks for listening to hot takes. I'm Congressman Matt Gaetz. Today we were recording on the road, so I apologize for the sound quality.
00:15:47.580That's just part of the deal sometimes with a daily podcast and certainly wanted to give everyone the chance to listen before we have tonight's exciting presidential debate.
00:15:56.680So enjoy. Join us tomorrow because we're going to break it down and have the analysis and make sure you subscribe so you don't miss any hot takes.
