only two months now until the election only seven days though until the debate and James Carville has some unsolicited I think advice for kamla Harris the famous Democrat outlined three imperatives for her to beat Donald Trump the first Carville says is that Harris has to let Trump sink himself at this next debate the next one Harris needs to highlight her policy differences with President Biden something that she has yet to do and finally Harris must show that she has grown out of some of her political stances when she ran for president in 2020 with us now is pollster Frank Lun he's joining us in our fifth seat at the table um Frank first of all do you agree with those three points from uh James Carville I mean and is that really the formula for this next debate for her I'm not convinced I'm going to follow what James Carville says because he's had years of success but that said Trump's strongest position right now is the policy differences between him and Harris inflation which I call affordability immigration which I talk about National Security and sense of Safety and Security these are areas where Trump has the advantage if it's about personas if it's about character she wins and she'll win easily if it's about policy Trump has a 10-point advantage on affordability a 10o 12o advantage on immigration so he has to go and the problem for Trump is he has the inability to do that he has no self-control he can't keep his criticisms and if I'm her I'm trying to find one word to summarize everything that she's thinking As Trump goes after and that word is really I have a feeling that we might hear that I mean actually Frank just going back to you for a second the the post has a good headline kind of summarizing what we've been seeing a little bit in the polls by is suddenly seeing his best polls in years all of a sudden the country is the same nothing has really changed since he left the race but the voters view him more favor now I mean so is it really about policy or is it just because many of them thought that he was too old to run again he was absolutely too old and it was not just the age it was his inability to talk about the future in the end the number one value the public wants is a detailed plan of action the don't want to be Looking Backward they want to be looking ahead and they question whether Biden was going to be strong enough two years from now four years from now let alone a year from now I think whatever the reason is that there's been one interview and not more than one interview either way Trump and the Trump campaign has not actually been able to weaponize that against the Harris campaign I mean that is pretty remarkable I think it's going to come I'm watching what happen what's happening on universities right now and the level of hate that's already being shown Colombia was a disaster today in its first day and I'm watching to see how she handles it what happened in Israel 48 hours ago and I've seen some of the tweets both from Democrats and Republicans saying these people they were butchered they were murdered they didn't die they were murdered or the idea that these are terrorists uh that are committing these crimes and some Outlets are not saying it Richie Torres was brilliant in his tweet today about all of this she's going to have to choose sides does she stand with the oppressors on the University or does she stand for Law and Order well I'm I think both of us are at the University I don't think she's staying with any oppressors the oppressors are not unique to universities what she did at the convention was right she talked about the undeniable evil that was revealed on October 7th and she talks about the ongoing Carnage and Devastation of Palestinian people we cannot let me finish so we can't talk about being fair and just by talking about who's an oppressor and who's not without acknowledging the complex and Nuance uh analysis of what's going down there on the ground so we can't dismiss 40 to 50,000 people who are dead as just compensation for the undeniable evil that occurred sir this is about anti-Semitism anti look I wrote In The New York Times about anti-Semitism I take it seriously it's about it's about hatred of Jewish brothers and sisters it's about the hatred of Islamic folk and we' got to with yes it is either or it's not equal when you try to equalize it I'm not equalizing those are my principles of Justice as a Baptist Minister I'm concerned about evil and the horrors of Terror that are visited upon people I'm worried about my Israeli brothers and sisters and I'm worried about my brothers and sisters who are not Jewish as well these Jewish kids are afraid and they're being attacked we just finished you've got in the control room AB it's not wrong you have it in the control I'm saying it's wrong to attack them okay that okay accept that but you have in your control you can decide if you want to show it or not what's happening on college campus is these kids are actually being attacked and at some point she's going to have to take a point I would like to see see look look any assault upon Jewish brothers and sisters is patently wrong any attack upon uh Islamic brothers and sisters is at patently wrong and to deny if you're talking about University Free Speech the ability of people to articulate their viewpoints regulate of but you tell me as a black person without hate the kind of things we've been doing of course try to understand here person about the hate Frank what I'm trying to understand here is I agree with that you're you're suggesting that Harris has not said anything about anti-Semitism when that's definitely not true and it's also the case that her husband who is Jewish has led the administration's anti-Semitism efforts it's not enough that's all I'm saying if you saw hatred towards certain groups you would speak yeah I mean look I I agree with you that there's too much a little bit of anti-Semitism is too much but I guess what I'm wondering is how you can say that that is a uniquely KLA Harris problem it's a problem for the country every time I come on this show I speak about understanding I speak about finding common ground I appreciate your comments I respect them very much we have to do something because it's starting again and so the debate I believe she's going to be asked this question as Will trump right and the question is does she try to equivocate or does she is she very clear in what she this this is
