First, I’m taking into consideration this podcast was recorded late at night and that your guests were likely tired.

That said, whether or not he meant to, Mr. Smith didn’t seem capable of admitting that President Trump did anything positive. He would choose adjectives like “less weird” or “less Trump”. I thought Mr. Smith would point out that the CNN format actually ended up helping President Trump. That would’ve at least been diplomatic and not a direct positive.

Btw, Barrack Obama did not, and does not look like he’s about to ask President Biden to step down. Therefore, it’s unlikely anyone will. What Dem politician would dare risk ending their careers by going against him? The same amount as Republicans who speak out against President Trump is my guess.

Regarding the good lady MK, you equated the felony of President Trump as if it were not tainted in any way. American listeners deserve more respect than that. Not to say that YOU are prone to this, but the media should see that we are a bit tired of you all treating us as ignoramuses. We trusted (Yes. Intentional use of the past tense there) you all with the honor of truthfully presenting the news to us. That was blown to pieces long ago, and this presidential debate has proven this all the more. We recognize lawfare just well as you all. We’re not stupid. Just busy with our own lives.

The swipe at JD Vance writing a book and going to Yale... Really? What was that book about again? Perhaps he genuinely doesn’t actually like what he sees going on with the elites. Granted, he’s still early in his political career, and the swamp tends to change even the best of folks. But in the meantime, perhaps give him the benefit of the doubt until he proves otherwise.

I do agree with Mr. Smith that the panic may subside in some ways; however, campaign clips will be something to watch. And they’re coming. The Trump campaign proved this. I recommend we stay tuned.

In my opinion this debate wasn’t an embarrassment. No. I believe it was actually HELPFUL! It presented the transparency the media failed to provide us with for far too long. The embarrassment was the confirmation of just how horrible a job the media has been doing for decades now. I hope they’re doing damage control, but one can only hope. And I base this on THEIR track record. Of course, that’s why I’m now a paid subscriber of The Free Press.
