LIVE: BIDEN V. TRUMP - FIRST PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE OF 2024

June 27th 2024 it's debate night I'm Ben melis from the mightest touch Network join for our continuing coverage of the debate with Brett and Jordy melis it will be a historic evening indeed the first presidential debate of this election cycle between President Biden and Donald Trump and we will be having a pre-show here where we will be going over what we expect what's been going on thus far already there's some drama and some speculation that Melania is nowhere to be found now we can't confirm for sure that Melania will not be at the debate but she's not in Atlanta as of now she did not travel with Donald Trump to Atlanta as Caitlyn Collins from CNN first reported former president Trump arrives in Atlanta with out Melania Trump by his side to which President Biden very recently made the following post how thankful he was that Dr Jill Biden was by his side Dr Jill Biden posted the following the school year is over the grades are in and the campaign is kicking into high gear my summer plans heading out on the road to talk to voters about all the great work that at Joe Biden is doing I'll be posting a lot more going forward follow along and let's win this thing and President Biden responded the best part of the campaign Trail is having you by my side Jilly even right there Breton Jordy the contrast between these candidates could not be any more clear right from just President Biden's love of his family the support of his wife democracy normal supporting our allies this isn't going to be a normal debate right I mean I understand the Instinct of some media to try to create other historical context oh well this is kind of like Nixon and JFK or when lots of people thought that Al Gore was going to win the first debate and the expectations were this for George W this this is not like that at all Donald Trump's been out there having imaginary conversations with Hannah Lector he's changed the words of our national anthem he's created a new Anthem with the most violent insurrectionists who he calls hostages he wants to overthrow our democracy Donald Trump talks about being a dictator starting on day one Donald Trump has already already taking away women's Reproductive Rights and he brags about doing so and overturning roie Wade on the other hand with President Biden you have someone who loves our freedom someone who supports our democracy somebody who maintains our alliances abroad someone who does not cozy up to dictators and foreign authoritarians this is a debate between authoritarianism represented by Donald Trump and democracy represented by President Biden we we haven't ever had that before in American history and look I think also you know you have all of these kind of deceptively edited Fox and right-wing propaganda clips that are out there but miraculously when people see President Biden for extended period of times those clips that the right-wing propaganda media shows they just don't they don't show what they show anymore so what do they have to do they have to then say Oh Well there must be drugs he's jacked up Joe he must be taking provigil he's on steroids drug test him it's rigged it's unfair CNN is rigged they make up all of these conspiracies there's going to be a two-minute delay which is just totally false it is what they've always done it's what Donald Trump has always done his entire life he just repeats it it's fairly easy to predict his behavior because he repeats this stuff over and over again The Whining the complaining the conspiracies that everything everything is rigged we'll see tonight though President Biden is going to be talking about things policies topics protecting women's Reproductive Rights how we get more Americans high-paying jobs bottom up middle out it's going to talk about his successes whether it was the chips sack reinvigorating the semiconductor industry here in the United States of America the infrastructure act there's over 40,000 infrastructure projects jobs jobs jobs because of partisan legislation that President Biden pushed that Donald Trump failed to do the PCT act over one million claims have been filed by veterans who now get life saving care that they would not have been able to obtain but for the policies of President Biden our support of Ukraine and how Donald Trump would want to support Vladimir Putin to take over Ukraine we're going to see details details fact tax policy from President Biden and from Donald Trump I think he's just going to say well very powerfully very powerfully we did this and you know uh my my my how toctor you know you know that's a very nasty question that you're asking very nasty fake Tapper fake Tapper they they call you fake Tapper that's why they call them the fake news and that's what you're gonna hear over there look Donald Trump hasn't debated in a very long time Donald Trump's had no connection with any Poli policy for a very long time I don't think he had any connection when he was in the White House frankly spent one year playing golf but we're you know about an hour or so away from this thing Brett and Jordy what do you think I think we're in for a night like we've never seen before and we've seen these Trump Biden debates um back in 2020 well at least the ones that Donald Trump showed up for remember he did ditch the final debate in that Saga and it's honestly quite amazing that he's even showing up tonight I a lot of folks were predicting that he would not show I think ultimately he waited too long and then ultimately got trapped in it and at the last minute tried to make all these other excuses to try to see if he could find any way to back out but it appears that as of this moment that Donald Trump will be there but you know I think what President Biden ultimately has to do is President Biden needs to be himself quite frankly President Biden is great on his feet in these moments President Biden is a guy who leads with a steady hand and I think he should have that that Steady Hand tonight at the debate um focusing on the extreme contrasts between him and Donald Trump and I think Trump's gonna kind of constantly try to get under his skin throughout the whole time um and it'll be interesting to see what happens the thing is you know Donald Trump paints this dystopian view of America which re truly only aligns with the America that existed under Donald Trump everything that Donald Trump says about the the country being so terrible and things being you know you're not able to get things at the stores and we need to be energy independent and all this all like we had all the problems with that stuff quite literally under Donald Trump when you went to the store and you couldn't even buy a roll of toilet paper but when you look at the actual facts of the matter and you look at President Biden's record it's quite frankly one of the best records in American history I mean there is the report today as well that for the first time in decades and decades and decades the United States of America is energy independent I mean that's one of Trump's whole things and I bet he tries to use that line as well tonight that actually was accomplished under President Biden uh Donald Trump speaks about being beholden to China Trump was beholden to China and Trump got all had all these corrupt dealings with China where he made deals with China in order for them to give patents to his daughter aanka meanwhile President Biden with the US economy has actually surpassed China's for like the first time in decades and decades if you look at the actual data and the actual facts they do not lie so I think President Biden has to stick with the facts I think he needs to you know sharply uh have sharp comebacks to Donald Trump when Trump tries to lie and I think this will be an interesting format now for those listening to the podcast the debates already happened if you're listening to this podcast so this is going to be a fun run fun R run back of the night with the pre-show but as a reminder there are some unique rules in place for this CNN debate um there are going to be commercial breaks in this debate normally they do these things commercial free there are going to be two commercial breaks during the 90minut broadcast tonight there are going to be no opening statements you typically have the opening statements from each candidate instead each candidate is going to deliver a two-minute closing statement at the conclus with Donald Trump delivering the final statement of the night they're going to be muting microphones when the individuals are not speaking and this is a thing that you know PE folks have debated quite a bit who does the mutant microphone help more does it help President Biden more does it help Donald Trump more is it a moot point I've seen arguments in both directions and I think we could discuss that in a bit but those are the general ideas here now CNN is not letting us at the mightest touch Network stream the actual debates so we are going to be giving you uh pre-debate coverage here we have a special guest that we are excited to share our interview with it is the second gentleman of the United States Doug mhof will be joining us tonight to discuss President Biden and what he has to do in his debate against Donald Trump we are very excited to show you our interview with the second gentlemen but folks what do you think about these rules what do you think about this debate presentation the mute muted microphones Jordy and I were discussing this quite a bit before would love to get your take yeah we did have a great discussion about this let me just start off by saying like I have all the faith in the world in President Biden tonight I like that he's taking this seriously I like that he stepped away to focus and prepare for the debate again just looking at the preparation of what President Biden does to be a leader versus what Donald Trump pretends to I mean Trump hasn't done anything except these weird rallies and go on Newsmax and all these weirdo programs and just start bad mouth America and badmouthing President Biden it's his shtick it's bizarre so I'm happy that President Biden is treating this with a level of seriousness that it deserves as far as the rules I really have mixed feelings BR on this whole muted mic situation because look something that we do here on the Midas touch network is we let people just hear Donald Trump out sometimes we play the clips of him at these rallies acting like a total lunatic unfiltered and then we let you all walk away with your own opinions like is that really what you want for your commander and chief I I would fancy to say that no all of those clips show you time and time again that Donald Trump is an unhinged lunatic so this whole concept of muting the mics the only thing and person that that actually benefits is sort of the audience because you don't hear a lot of over speaking and and cross talk or anything like that but after watching the demonstration last night it really looked as if they didn't think this whole thing out and that's because President Biden's on stage right next to Donald Trump and the and President Biden will hear Donald Trump continuing to act like an unhinged lunatic over and over again but the American people I don't think will hear that and why I think that's so important is because in the first debate as annoying as it was when when when Donald Trump was interrupting President Biden over and over and over again well that kind of showed the American people this guy can't control himself tonight with this muted mic situation it sort of it sort of sanitizes trump in a way now I still don't think be able to control himself and I still think he'll behave like a complete lunatic but I I do think it kind of benefits Trump in some weird way going back to that first debate one of the most famous moments that I just loved was when President Biden looked at Donald Trump and said well you shut up man I really think that resonated to so many Americans who just wanted to say that to him because he was behaving like a total fool so Ben what do you think with that I disagree with you I mean look it's 90 minute it's 90 minutes long um they're going to have ample time to respond to to various topics I want them to get to lots of topics MH I don't want this to be filibustered with him going blah blah blah had I know I don't want that with 90 minutes with tur answers people need to understand we the people need to understand these people who want the most powerful job in the world what do they stand for what do they know what are they going to do for us because you know one of the things that I'm very critical about Donald Trump is that it's always me me me oh they're coming after me he's quite literally running on his criminal convictions and bragging that he's a felon that's not deliver in addition to that just being outrageous that's not delivering for the American people him going up there oh they're treating me so badly can you believe it a gagle the New York jury the judge's daughter Michael Cohen this person that that you can do if you could filibuster and you can't get shut down I want there to be 50 topics discussed and I want the topics to be discussed to be nuanced and specific I want the moderators to talk about specific policy Visa specific countries and I want to I want to find out do these people know what's going on I I I want to hear the plans I know President Biden's plans right I know about the infrastructure act I know about the inflation reduction act I know about the chips act I know about theact act I I know his policies he's gonna talk very specifically about it I know where just and just to back up Jordy like you know one sec because I you know I think Jordy needs a little bit of reinforcements on hey thanks B I appreciate you disagrees with me about though one of the most pivotal moments of the debates from 2020 it was the moment where uh Donald Trump was speaking about the proud boys and um Joe Biden said to him what do you think about the proud boys and Donald Trump responded with the infamous line stand back and stand by that's how that happened it happened from one of those confrontations so I'm not saying that the muted mics are necessarily net negative or net positive but you're not going to have a clash you're not going to have like that they're gonna get to call each other out then there's going to be an opportunity for a rebuttal and you better believe that President Biden's gonna go and call Donald Trump out he's gonna say here's what I think here's what he thinks and then they're gonna go rebuttal Donald Trump what do you say about that and then he's go then he's going to respond you can't let Trump ramble because Trump will then take the thing over and he will start whining and complaining and he will spend 50 minutes filibustering the thing talking about Hannibal Lecter and talking about weird stuff how he rather be electrocuted than eaten by sharks and and that what people need to see and that's why this is a public service this debate I I this a debate like this makes me proud to be an American you know proud to live in this country where there are debates like this because we the people deserve this we really do we need to see them for 90 minutes be grilled I want Biden to be grilled I don't want softballs at Biden I want Biden to be grilled I want Trump to be grilled they're auditioning for the highest job in our land you know and I'm sick and tired of Donald Trump's whining and acting like a baby dude you were born a billionaire you were born a billionaire your son Don Junior was in the Middle East today bragging about the first class service that he was getting on some flight that he was on in a deal brokered by Saudi Arabia for some Trump project in in the Middle East y y'all and and y'all are are whining man of the people man real man of the people and why are my life so unfair I live in a $30 million mansion you know Trump literally lives in a resort he lives in a he doesn't even have a he lives in a resort and and everyone's treating me so unfairly that's not what this CEOs don't do that manage people don't do that pull yourself up by your bootstrap so I think it is critical that that these candidates that President Biden and Donald Trump who are running for this office be asked for 90 minutes I don't want rambling and by the way Jordy you'll see on the split screen though when Donald Trump's face this is going to be a theme that we're GNA hear about too what you're gonna see Donald Trump's gonna probably still be talking after the questions are asked after his time is done you'll still see him right you'll see him on the split screen like this I'll be like I wonder if he could hear that he's muted like he'll see like the dot on that they have the thing I wonder if he could hear it or he'll think people could speak still do it you know and already though like this is already an electric debate before it's even begun we already went through before will will Melania show will Melania not show and we showed that Joe that show that post from President Biden about uh Jill the first lady being there but folks like have you seen the spin room guests the spin room what they call it is the room after the debate when they start interviewing the surrogates from the campaigns about how the debate went so here is who President Biden is bringing with him as surrogates to Atlanta in the debate and this is going to get so under Donald Trump's skin his blood has to be boiling right now Mary Trump is is a surrogate of the Biden campaign you heard that right the Mary Trump Donald Trump's very own niece showing up to the debate as a Biden campaign surrogate former Maya Kesha Lance bottoms of Atlanta will also be joining him representative Jasmine Crockett a fan favorite of the midest touch Network who's been doing some incredible work California governor Gavin nusum is there showing his support representative Robert Garcia Cedric Richmond and Senator Raphael waro all there in the spin room that is a powerful team and I think it also speaks volumes quite frankly to show you the team that President Biden has around him and here would be my challenge to Donald Trump right Trump what where are all your other kind of past uh you know where's your VP from the last uh Administration where are all of the officials who you worked with in your last administ none of them wanted to show up no what none of them oh none of them have endorsed you none of them literally dozens and dozens have disavowed you and have called you an idiot and have said you're a danger to the country okay got it got it just make it just trying to figure out here why there none of them are here uh to give you any support I want to give you a bit of a look of what it looked like outside of the debate as President Biden was arriving um let's show this clip of the crowd outside in Atlanta there was at least eight million people there I saw at least eight I think that you're lowballing it I think I saw at least 15 million folks yeah for sure I don't it cannot be it can't be stated enough that Melania isn't there tonight that the former first lady isn't even there to support her husband I mean that that is alone just the most one of the most incredible things about you guys remember the last debate do do you remember at the end there I like maybe he wanted to avoid this moment and by the way it's possible I guess that she arrives separately I don't know she's not there right now so I want to just put that out there um but do you remember that moment Jord at the last debate yes at the end President Biden and Jill Biden you know they're hugging and give a kiss you know they're they look like a the loving couple that they are and the camera goes on the other side and you see Donald and Milan and you see Trump like kind of swatting at melania's hand and like kind of grabbing it like oh hey like me put fake it for me please and it's just it was so cringeworthy and maybe you know they just wanted to avoid it but it goes back to one of the things that we've been saying that I I think has a a broader point and is a broader data point about Donald Trump and about Melania it's the constant lying and gaslighting of Donald Trump and the way that he manipulates the media in order to plant these BS messages if you've been listening to the mightest touch podcast and watching the mightest touch Network on YouTube first thank you but second um you've seen our reports on how Donald Trump scams the media about Melania he consistently plants these stories Melania to take center stage in the Trump campaign of 2024 after the ruling in the election interference case with Stormy Daniels in New York the family has never been closer Melania and evanka our best friends and everybody is so happy yeah you know who said that to the New York Post likely I'm gonna guess John Baron uh which for those who know is the Alias of Donald Trump that he uses when he calls the public that quite frankly is how all these stories likely get planted and they're just proven over and over again to be lies and there's some willing media like the New York Post that takes it and publishes it to help Donald Trump and then there's some unwilling media who takes it because I guess they think it will get clicks I don't know but it shows you that if Trump is speaking he's probably lying even about things as dumb as that know take a look at what he's been posting as well and again this just shows you why this is just this behavior of Donald Trump it's just not normal behavior this is not a decent human being this is not someone of any character at all this is what Donald Trump posts he goes trying and he's reposting The Babylon B but this is what he reposts Trump preps for debate against Biden by going to nursing home and arguing with dementia patients like could you imagine Obama Romney Obama McCain krie George W bush Al Gore George W bush Clinton Dole Clinton George HW Bush Reagan right I mean just just think about keep going back to the beginning I me going keep going just just name everyone uh you know but but just just think about that behavior I mean one the level ages that I've seen and and how that's been normalized is something that doesn't get called out enough we respect older people that's kind of what I was taught being raised number one um Donald Trump's also like the same age as president as President Biden like they're not too different and Donald Trump is the one because it's always projection and confession who actually display these really serious cognitive issues I mean Donald Trump goes around and one of the other things that he makes a major part of his traveling fascist circus thing that he calls rallies or a campaign in addition to running on the fact that he is a convicted felon is that he keeps taking cognitive exams he says from Ronnie Jackson and passes these cognitive exams these demena test and he brags have you heard about Dr r Johnson is it Johnson have you heard about the refle and by the way I took a cognitive exam and I aced it and I'm just like what the hell is that what what what am I watching here but like everything it's all projection and confession here at the Midas touch Network we created a short kind of a throwback to Old School Midas and these videos are made possible thank you to everyone here who subscribes to patreon.com mightest touch we don't have outside investors here so one of the ways we build this platform increase our staff is through patreon.com mightest touch and I think next week we'll do an exclusive Zoom meeting if you ever wanted to meet me Brett and Jordan will answer all of your questions uh next week about the debate where we think things are headed that's patreon.com mightest touch but take a look at this short that we created here at the might touch Network let's play it and my stupid people when I wanted to refute it they said sir don't dignify it with a refle have you been noticing peculiar Behavior recently and someone you know ter someone who mixes fiction and reality the late great Hannibal Lector he's a wonderful man perhaps someone of advanced age you have known for years did you just see Maduro venezuel it's a unbelievable Venezuelan of course we all have our Goofs but consistently odd behavior can be a sign of frontotemporal dementia a degenerative disease of the frontal and temporal loes of the brain that dramatically impairs cognitive function and there are some Key signs to look out for like slurring words the failing New York Times by anonomous really an anous struggling to find the correct words is another sign the Muller report I wish covered the oranges the oranges the oranges of the uh uh investigation you may also notice someone veering into incoherent ideas detached from reality you know what I'd do if there was a shark or you get electrocuted I'll take electrocution every single time I'm not getting near the shore or an inability to complete simple sentences Saudi Arabian Russia will rep other notable symptoms include impaired motor function such as a wavering limb and decreased balance often accompanied by a signature lean or arched stance if someone you know is demonstrating several or all of these symptoms they are seriously unwell as a matter of safety they must be relieved of critical responsibilities and disqualified from any position of authority remember frontotemporal dementia is a degenerative disease cognitive function will never return and will only deteriorate further don't ignore the signs do you ever think that you would see the president of the United States have to debate a convicted felon well we are less than an hour away from that President Biden debating convicted felon Donald Trump the fact that he even has to share the stage with a convicted felon who Maga Republicans anointed as someone who they want to be a dictator is something that I never thought we'd see here in the United States of America but the pro-democracy community is growing the pro-democracy community is strong and when we get back we will be be

show but smaller sound bites too are also hit in the social feeds super snackable and sharable definitely check those out it's at Midas Touch all those handles I've seen a lot of comments like this one LOL Midas has twice the viewers right now that CNN does and I I I'll just say look now you know why they're not letting us stream the there's a reason why corporate media does not want us to stream this thing because I think we would literally be number one and show the power of the pro-democracy community but here's the thing this project is both kind of a short-term rapid response and this is generational when you go back and you look at when Fox started and its nefarious plans began in the 1970s and how generationally it crept up we want to do the opposite of what they did we we want to support our democracy and we know that that's a generational task we view this community as actually the remedy to the disinfo spread by Fox and it took them generations to metastasize and grow in a bad way we want to grow in a good way together and spread love and spread compassion and spread decency and talk about our democracy and support each other and not put each other down and really build here in America and frankly abroad because we have so much International supporters This Global pro-democracy community that supports each other and that just sticks up for each other and our fellow human beings so I'll stop preaching there but that's uh Ben I wanted to say on that note you have done some incredible interviews over the past few days with former Trump supporters and I just want to let the folks know who are watching this as well if you haven't seen those you could check out the videos on our YouTube channel with Ben interviewing former Trump supporters in some cases these are folks who voted for Trump twice voted for Trump in both elections and have had a change hard and I think it's important that we welcome those folks into the pro-democracy fold there's no use in pushing these people away and Ben I think those conversations are so incredibly important and powerful and the there's a ripple effect that I'm noticing that is happening from you having these conversations because every time we post one of those videos we get dozens of more emails that's way under shooting it from people who are the same people who say I supported Trump I need to tell my story about why I no longer do and there are so many of us out there I've been floored quite frankly right by the way our inbox keeps filling up every day with more and more people who have these similar stories it's quite amazing and I want to give you props for that I have a great deal of empathy for people who are moving away from what the Republican party has become I understand the pull of Politics as this kind of tribalistic thing I mean just think about it any more frivolous example like sports teams we grew up in New York like imagine being a Mets fan your entire life and then all of a sudden you're you have to be a Yankee fan like that alone and that's like a frivolous example right because your identity is wrapped in something just imagine some of these people who have been Republicans their entire life their friends and the community the clubs they are a part of like it's not just the sports team thing this is their very identity and then the party is taken over by this magath thing but it's still called Republican and you know you're going to lose friends and you could lose family members and where do you go there's also kind of a shame and a guilt and embarrassment that you were kind of LED this far by a grifter like Donald Trump so some people's reaction because of the shame is just to dig deeper and search for the next conspiracy and rather than getting out of the cult you dig deeper into the cult and we study cult de programming here there's a lot of that so even if people are leaving now and you may say well how do you fall for that twice really or or January 6 didn't do it or this didn't do it that's unacceptable what I say is welcome to the pro democracy Community there's a place for you here and sure it it puzzles me a little bit that you didn't catch on to it but but but I welcome you for real into this pro-democracy community we love constitu love our flag we love the United States of of America and we show that not by putting images of President Biden on flags we don't change the words to The Anthem we don't go to cult rallies we just try every day to live the best of our ability and we're fallible and we make mistakes with these values and just just do our best to contribute to civilization each and every day so without further Ado I want to bring in the second gentleman Doug mhof here was the interview I did with him let's bring in the second gentleman so I'm joined by the second gentleman Doug mhof Doug mhof welcome it's good to be back how are you doing good so big night what do you expect at tonight's debate I think President Biden is going to just do an incredible job he's gonna just State the case that's just so obvious that this is a binary election you've got uh Donald Trump on one hand who has already proven to be an incredibly horrible president like he was the first time um he is unfit to ever return to office again he only cares about himself and he's just shown that over and over again and on the other hand you have Joe Biden who has done uh a remarkable job as president I think he's going to go down in history as one of the all-timers in the role remember where we were in uh January of 2021 and look where we are now so there's no question we need to keep this progress going President Biden is going to make that case and draw the contrasts and I think he's going to do a phenomenal job tonight just as he's done as president these last three plus years you know it seems that Donald Trump and his allies have become increasingly nervous as this debate approaches they're ratch it up still as we get ever closer they're rolling out new conspiracy theories about the president about the debate format about CNN about the moderators what do you think that tells us they're afraid it's it's all gaslighting it's all to detract from what I just said that he is completely unfit to be president of the United States again uh look at look at what they're really talking about this 2025 plan to weaponize the Department of Justice dictator on day one um tax cuts again additional tax cuts for the richest folks and and corporations more guns on the street stre uh more drilling so all the things that they plan to do and not to mention uh ripping away our freedoms you hear him you know with Glee bragging about the overturn of roie Wade and all of these things that are harming us literally harming us so to detract from what they're trying to do and how horrible he will be it's just more gaslighting it's all it's all deflection and and distraction which is part for the course for them you know I hear a lot of pundits trying to create parallels to other historical examples Nixon versus JFK Al Gore versus George W bush but this is not really a normal thing that we're seeing here where we have one candidate in President Biden who supports democracy and then you have another candidate the leader of the Republic repan party who supports views and this is me putting it as nice as I can that are reflective of Wann toe authoritarianism right like this all of the discussions about this debate I think are kind of missing that these are this is democracy the authoritarianism yeah and you can't both sides of this you can't normalize it everyone needs to call it out just like you just did there this is not a normal situation where we're arguing about policy or tax policy or trickle down or limited government this is literally are we going to have a democracy or not do you believe in our constitution or not do you believe in our rule of law or not do you believe in our very way of life or not and and people need to stop you know again both siding this and and making this appear normal it this is not normal this is not how our system works and we already know who he is we already know he's was terrible at the job the first time he's a worse version of what he was and he's already telling us what he will do which is all anti-American anti-democracy anti- who we are you know many of Trump's campaign events have been exposed as scams I'm proud that we here at the Midas touch Network call it out when he goes to a purported black church but fills it with all white Maga supporters wearing hat and in a place of worship chanting out Donald Trump's name in a in a place of worship or Trump going to other churches and and cursing or going to a Chick-fil-A and and getting hugged by someone who literally is like a Maga operative and we call this out each time goes to uh a non-union shop and pretends it's a union rally what's your take on this and who does he think he's fooling well hasn't he been doing this his whole career his whole life he's been scamming his whole life dod you know draft Dodger from from way back when and look at his entire business career has been built on scams and he just got held accountable Remember by the New York uh attorney general for lying about valuations this is who Donald Trump is so why would we expect any different so all these little scams and again it's all the gaslighting it's what we were just talking about it's all deflection uh from if you really look at what they're trying to do again it's not it's anti-American it's anti-democratic so that's what they keep having to you know look over here while we are actually doing this so not surprised scammer his whole life draft Dodger and not surprised at scamming on on the campaign like this and meanwhile vice president Harris your wife has been crisscrossing the country highlighting important topics such as Reproductive Rights and Economic Opportunity what can you tell us about that she's doing a remarkable job as vice president you know in total but on this issue of of reproductive Freedom we just had the twoyear I I I hate to call it an anniversary because that connotes some kind of Celebration this this is quite the opposite this was two years of of a right that was ripped away this right of privacy to do you know control the the decisions about your own body but we've seen the devastating effects of Dos this the health care crisis caused by this and and that's the point the cruelty is the point remember in 2016 Donald Trump told Chris Matthews women should be punished well guess what they are being punished his handpicked Supreme Court uh who looked my wife in the eye when she was on the Senate Judiciary Committee and pretended that they were going to uphold precedent roie Wade they didn't and now you're seeing what the other rights that are potentially at risk you saw what Justice Thomas said in the concurring opinion of Dos what else that's based on Griswald can we come after contraception who you can love who you can marry so this is what Donald Trump has unleashed the vice president has been out traveling the country calling that out drawing attention to it and on the economic front um having her there highlighting issues like investment in in the economy in small business access to Capital uh maternal Health Care all these things that she's brought to the for as vice president and and so many other issues I'm very proud of her and um I'm just happy to to support her as a husband and also as as the first second gentleman and one of the things that we've been seeing here a lot are Independence and also mainstream Republicans mainstream conservatives and even people who voted for Trump in 2016 and some who voted for him in 2016 in 2020 but there's been these pivotal moments whether it was January 6th mocking someone who was disabled calling veterans suckers and losers I could go on that list they're leaving and they're just saying look I care about character I care about normaly I care about democracy there will be a time where we can have debates and discussions over specific policy nuances but that's not what this is about right now in 2024 are you seeing that as as well you think that's going to be important in this debate as well to talk about character absolutely um people when I'm traveling I get to travel the country I've been all over the place especially lately and people do they care you have a convicted felon right now and Donald Trump who is purporting to want to be president again think about that think about the reflection that would have on us worldwide and what kind of example does that set so Character Matters and of course you have Joe Biden who's devoted his entire life his entire career for us fighting for us Donald Trump his whole life all about himself I think people are going to see that I think President Biden is going to really make that clear uh tonight and as we go forward in these next four months uh we're all going to get out there and make sure that people understand who's on the ballot you've got a convicted felon who was terrible the first time who has no business ever being back in the white house he's completely unfit for office and if somebody in Joe Biden from day one has done an incredible job uh as president first term and protecting our rights increasing our economy infrastructure I see the impact of that all over the country and we will continue that and then some in his second term you know finally there are a lot of Americans who were just nervous and and they see the kind of both siding of these issues and it's frankly why the midest touch Network's been growing because we don't both sides the issues here but like what's your message to the American people generally both in terms of what they should be looking for in this debate and over the next several months as we get closer to November I think people need to just look at facts and just look at performance and just again remember back to preco Donald Trump days he was not good at this job there was no Golden Era of the Trump presidency there just wasn't and look at what he did with Co it's probably going to go down as one of the biggest um just abandonment of Duties by any president in the history of our country hundreds of thousands of our friends and neighbors family members died because of his incompetency and the incompetency of those around him just when we needed our government most they weren't there and then of course overturning a trying to overturn a free and fair election in 2020 fermenting Insurrection at our Capital going back to the capital a couple weeks ago and having those very same people running for their lives in Terror those Congress folks you know just basically kissing his ass up there it's sickening and all Americans need to know that that's not who we are that's not democracy that's not rule of law that's not who we are we cannot have that again we've got to continue with somebody who believes in our country believes in our way of life and that is Joe Biden you when I see those Maga Republican Congress members being dressed up by Donald Trump in ties with Donald Trump's face on it as they've changed our national anthem to the j6 choir song I lose my mind and I always say every American should be sickened by it well the gentleman Doug off we appreciate your time thank you as always and we hope to have you back on the show for uh future events anytime thank you so much for having me thank you to the second gentleman right there Doug mhof everyone and just so you all know like when I was saying how Donald Trump dresses up the members of Congress through Republican members of Congress right now in ties that have Donald Trump's face on it and he makes them wear his go choose like this is the state of the Republican party right now there it is there's just one example I could show you many other examples of this but this mager Republican Congress member Troy Nells you see him right there wearing the fake gold Trump sneakers if you kind of zoom in and you can see the tie he's wearing it has Donald Trump's face on it and this party that once reported to be about less government here pull it up one more time this is the party that purported to be about Le government says other than Faith and family the only hope we have is Donald Trump and they call him president even though super super conservative and Ben I think you left out one of the other glaring thing I mean all these people want to be they like pretend mob bosses he's holding a cigar in the photo with his legs crossed like he's doing his best I don't know Godfather impression it's just so pathetic that these are the leaders of an entire political party in this country m not okay very a very strange cult and a great interview with the second gentleman and you know I think the second gentleman also brought up uh another fantastic point which I think gets oddly overlooked which is just how poorly Donald Trump managed the pandemic if you even want to call whatever the hell it was that he did managing a pandemic because it was far from that I mean what Trump did Trump led to so many deaths the way that he tried to pretend that this entire thing was just going to go away like a miracle and I think one of the things that will be interesting at this debate is if this topic comes up and that's the topic of are you better off than you were four years ago that's a common thing that comes up in presidential debates right I mean one of the first very first mightest touch videos that we ever released was based on an exchange between Ronald Reagan and Jimmy Carter where Ronald Reagan looked into the camera and said I want you to ask yourself are you better off than you four years ago we've seen Donald Trump and his surrogates tried to roll out this line on TV are weren't you better off four years ago and theyve frankly been laughed at by the American people when they brought out these lines because four years ago was a disaster four years ago we're watching our family and friends suffer and die four years ago we were seeing refrigerated trucks refrigerated morg trucks outside of hospitals to deal with the Overflow of bodies that was four years ago four years ago we couldn't find toilet paper in the stores and we had to ration food that's what happened under Donald Trump four years ago so it'll be interesting I think a if Donald Trump tries to go there or B if President Biden tries to go there because President Biden has a very strong case to be made that America is extremely better off than we were four years ago by every single metric and I think he has a very powerful case to make for all the success of his presidency Doug emof of course an incredible surrogate of the Biden campaign just I like normal people who put their head down and some normal people like normal it's it's it's very very refreshing it's such a crazy time it's refreshing especially as we play clips of some of these maggot people who are just I'll be nice and I'll just say not normal um but I want to show you uh one of the other Biden surrogates who was there in Atlanta with him um let's see what rapael waro senator from Georgia had to say earlier to tonight to voters what should President Biden say on tonight's stage to make his case and really try to solidify his support with black voters well first of all he's running against a man who is an existential threat Donald Trump is a plague on the American conscience and The American Nation and uh black voters in particular ought to be concerned uh that uh the the Oval Office could be occupied by a man who took out a full page ad condemning uh the exonerated five used to be the Central Park five uh these young teenagers of a terrible crime they did not commit and when they were proven to be not guilty he's he's never apologized for that he's never come around uh Joe Biden is running on his record he's running on a record of counseling student debt of passing uh the largest tax uh uh cut for middle and uh workingclass families in American history and and Donald Trump is literally running on his criminal record as if that's a reason for black voters to vote for him nothing could be more insulting and at the end of the day uh not only our base the people of Georgia and I believe the American people are going to get this right uh because there's so much at state senator rapael waro Ben you might want to unmute your uh microphone over there the mute butt him got him but yeah just just think quickly you know just some of the ways that Donald Trump has tried to court black voters it's been the most offensive thing on the planet Donald Trump the other day first he said he was attending this Barber Shop event in Atlanta then it turned out that he actually was not attending he was just sending his surrogates uh Byron Donalds uh to go to this Barber Shop Byron Donald's who just a couple weeks ago was hearkening back to the days of Jim Crow as if it was the best time for African-Americans in this country a great time for black families I mean how disgusting can you get and what's the thing when Donald Trump calls in that he brags about that he thinks is his way of relating with black voters I'm a felon you like felons right I'm a felon you see my mug shot everybody likes my mug shot literally this is what Donald Trump was saying Donald Trump Hawking his Gody ugly ass sneakers that he has that's his whole kind of plan sneakers Donald Trump going to a Chick-fil-A I mean you quite literally don't get more offensive than this Donald Trump bringing on stage other felons who were indicted for murder and other horrific crimes this is Donald Trump's strategy to court voters and I think we're seeing it backfire over and over again then we we are 30 minutes away from the president of the United States debating a convicted felon never thought that I would say that statement before the very fact that there is a convicted felon who's the leader of the Republican Party who they want to have as their dictator is again something i' never say as well but we've got 30 minutes more of pre-coverage before the debate starts let's go to our last Quick

discount codes are again in the YouTube description and in the audio description click the links use the codes they're fantastic so it's debate night which means that the Maga Republicans are whining and spreading conspiracy theories over and over again it is the same script that they're so predictable like it is the same script that they use over and over again as Aaron frisher uh wrote yesterday somewhere Donald Trump is wondering to himself how many times he can get away with doing these exact same stupid bits before a debate he doesn't even change it up a little bit just counts on mass Amnesia which always seems to work out you take a look at some of the 2016 election headlines and they look identical to the headlines today Donald Trump challenges Hillary Clinton to take a drug test before final debate the comments cap off an unpredictable several days in which Trump was forced to defend himself against blah blah blah blah blah or how about this one September 16 2016 Donald Trump objects to Anderson Cooper as debate moderator he's very biased or how about this one from September 27 2020 Trump says he's strongly demanding strongly demanding Biden is drug tested ahead of their first presidential debate or how about this one Trump amplifies allegations of bias against another presidential debate moderator this is all they do is whine and complain and spread conspiracies of the most recent ones that they were spreading today and this is just totally a lie so if you heard this it's false but doesn't stop Don Jr and others from posting this live TV has a 7-second delay why on Earth would CNN need a one to two minute delay unless they were planning a manipulating tonight's debate same with Biden refusing to take a drug test if he wasn't jacked up on all sorts of drugs why wouldn't he submit to such an easy test as our editor and Chief Ron Philip Kowski writes CNN has said that it will start exactly at 9: there will be no delay the latest conspiracy theory for the crybaby party continues though it's what they do and this is being Amplified right now by all of the Republican influencers and the leaders in their party people like Maga Republican Stephen Miller who goes remember if you see Biden bizarrely shouting not blinking and slurring while fast talking tonight it's because he's on drugs or Charlie Kirk everyone keeps saying there will be no fans allowed in the audience in tonight's debate that's not true Joe Biden will have two fans sitting up close Dana Bash and Jake Tapper or one of their top leaders in the Republican party and I'm not making this the cat feces himself cat turd here we go CNN is already trying to cheat and you can go on and on and on and see all these Mega Republic so lame I I have videos of all like I have like a hundred videos loaded of magga Republican Congress members and surrogates whining not like not talking about again what the policy is what Donald Trump's going to say what he's going to do but whining that it's rigged it's unfair calling people names fake tap fake quite frankly Ben like even if you put literally everything else aside that alone like this constant lying and gaslighting and name calling and all this BS that they do every day it's just lie lie lie lie lie push them out every day lie like what's the LIE of the day oh maybe we'll have two lies of the day today you know and just push them out okay we got to hit up cat turd we got to kill T we got to get cat turd to push this one on Twitter cat I mean this is what they do you know that they have chats with all these people and they're pushing them out in mass and they're trying to frame these BS narratives and they're all talking okay we're going with the drugs right we're going with the drug drug push push it drugs jacked up jacked up we're going with the two- minute delay two- minute delay and then it gets picked up by like a like the AI of Twitter was now running the two-minute story as a legitimate story on Twitter even though it's not fake so they just create this disinformation they spread it and this is the same Donald Trump who was complaining months ago about uh potentially having a republican debate be moderated by Brett Bear that was too liberal for Donald Trump he couldn't handle Brett Bear because Brett Bear didn't smile enough at him he didn't smile you know this is a good opportunity though we're having a little fun with all this silly stuff about President Biden is gonna be jacked up tonight jacked jacked up Joe we're Tak we're taking it back we got some exclusive merch on the midest touch store that you can check out this is this is real folks we got jacked up Joe merch right now at store.st touch.com and if you are listening you got to see this uh illustration our illustrators did such a fantastic job on this and we have jacked up Joe sticker jacked up Joe jacked up Joe t-shirts I love this gear and I love taking their stupid conspiracies and flipping them into positives and I think these are incredible hilarious shirts to commemorate this touch. so so good one of one of the funniest things about this whole testing before the debate if we look back to the first debate four years ago when there was a global pandemic Donald Trump showed up too late to test for covid and he went on that stage with covid trying to infect President Biden trying to B what a sick I saw one commentator projection he won't test he won't test Trump literally didn't test when there was a global pandemic we just reflect on how crazy that was I saw one commentator say if there's really a drug that cures dementia even for a few hours at a time bring that to the market immediately show us that drug because why has that been concealed from mankind that and look I debated in Middle School debated in high school I ran a Toast Masters organization in college I I was part of a debate team I've never heard at any level starting at middle school and upwards of people saying you know that person's a great debater I think that they may be on performance-enhancing drugs I think that's the issue with with their debate skill that that's what's going on but you have to leave it to magga I mean they're the party that goes you know why this trial is unfair the judge's daughter the the judge yeah you see it's the judge's daughter is rigging the trial who else the jury's rigging the trial how are they rigging the trial it's it's they're all Democrats but I didn't you just say that New York's goingon to turn red isn't your whole thing that you're flipping newor and there is they don't need consist don't need consistency at all but anyway let's let's get to some of the issues though that I want to hear about in 15 minutes when the president of the United States Joe Biden will debate a convicted felon I want to hear discussions about the Insurrection and how Donald Trump still supports the insurrectionist how Donald Trump has changed our national anthem and has replaced it with a song that is sung by The j6 Choir some of the most violent insurrectionists and if Donald Trump tries to wiggle out like he never called these people hostages you made a music song with them and replaced our national anthem with it and you at all of your traveling fascist circus events say release the hostages Joe that's what you say over and over again like in this clip right here and I could show you again dozens of these but I'll show you one example are here of Donald Trump saying release the hostages Joe here play this clip what they've done done and they ought to you know what they ought to do they ought to release the j6 hostages they've suffered enough they ought to release them I call them hostages some people call them prisoners I call them hostages release the j6 hostages Joe release him Joe you can do it real easy Joe this guy what he's done what he's done to people and it's a sick a real sociopath to release him Joe release him Jo and by the way you remember in the 2020 debate it was proud boys stand back and stand by here's what Donald Trump said on Meet the Press very recently about pardoning the proud boys for leading the j6 Insurrection after telling them stand back stand by in 2020 here play this clip proud boys uh leader Enrique tario was sentenced to 22 years in jail now that you know what the sentence is 22 years in jail will you give him a pardon will you give other proud boys a I don't know him I never met him I never heard of him until I started reading this will you pardon him but I want to tell you he and other people have been treated horribly will you pardon him in Minneapolis I'd certainly look at it I'd look at that and I'd look at all the other people that have suffered the j6 people let's take a look at the j6 people though that he's referring to because there's only just to be clear there's only about 15 people who are currently incarcerated who he refers to as the hostages so NBC did a look at who are these people who are currently incarcerated that he's referring to as hostages so meet some of the violent January 6 riers Donald Trump keeps calling hostages Trump has made his defense of those incarcerated in capital attack cases a central piece of his 2024 campaign I mean just think about that like not like here's what I'm gonna do for you America right it's the central pieces defending the incarcerated Capital attackers many are accused of assaulting police others fled it's people like this Daniel ball charged with assaulting law enforcement and throwing an explosive device at them or Tim Boehner allegedly bragged he effed the cops up after putting chemical spray in their faces I can go on and on and give you the the background of the others they're they're like this and so I think it is important that the moderators ask this question I don't think because of the way the media has both sides this issue and tried to normalize j6 I think the American people need to hear that he's changed our national anthem to the j6 choir song that he calls the insurrectionist hostages things like that I think are going to be important Brett Jordan no absolutely and I think it's not talked about enough also just how offensive it is to call those Violent J Sixers uh hostages and what it evokes for in comparing them to actual hostages you know it's it's just such an absolute uh disgrace um you know it looks like President Biden out there is having fun as well with all the jacked up Joe commentary from the Republicans and he just posted this hilarious photo which will'll put up Joe Biden writes I don't know what they've got in these performance enhancers but I'm feeling pretty jacked up try it for yourself folks see it in a bit and he is selling Joe's secret sauce and it says uh for for those listening it is a bottle that's uh has his picture the dark Brandon picture on it and it says dark Brandon secret sauce and then under it says get real Jack it's just water zero Malarkey he gives photo credit to Jill Biden and here is what it says on the back of these cans if we go to that photo uh this is the back of the $460 can of Secret Sauce water Biden campaign is now selling with faux ingredients magate tear mysterious orange liquid and melted chocolate chip ice cream because if you guys know Biden's like one of his favorite drink is orange Gatorade is that's his favorite ice cream and the other day uh there was an image of President Biden drinking an orange Gatorade and of course you know because they can't do anything normally the these Republicans these Maga people had to take that photo and say what is he drinking what is it drugs is it secret sauce and so President Biden having a bit fun with it the same way the other the other ingredients on there as well when you like list it off like calories it's uh felony counts 34 Banky six impeachments to business failures count this is vicious is wow this is great this is A+ plus right there A+ plus here's the thing if you know President Biden this is who he is he performs on game time he doesn't spend the time whining and complaining and saying they're all out to get me and w w w no when it's game time he's like let's go let's go I'm gonna mock the crap out of you and I think what we're seeing right now is also gonna be the tone he sets in the debate I think that he's going to mock Donald Trump and I think he's gonna be like um what what was that did you all just hear what he just said there but look there's going to be some serious topics to discussed as well and as I I showed you those clips of Donald Trump's love of the January 6th insurrectionist and now he says he's going to Pardon them and he's looking into pardoning the proud boys right 2020 proud boys stand back stand by they listen to him they did that they led the Insurrection and now he's saying I'm going to Pardon them and you know what I'm going to make musicals with them he's made musicals with them and replaced our national anthem with the j6 choir I just don't think that gets enough to tell you changed our Anthem our national anthem you're selling sticky page Bibles that removes portions of the Constitution that's somehow mixed with the sticky pages of the Bible the portions of the Constitution you don't like you're saying you want to be a dictator what this is America what what are we talking about but I want to show you this too what's Donald Trump going to say when he's asked about how he supported and he led to overturning roie Wade because here's what he was asked in Atlanta Georgia notably he's in Atlanta now for this debate but when he was asked in Atlanta what he says let me show you what he said over here about women's Reproductive Rights let's play this CP do you believe in punishment for abortion yes or no is a principle the answer is that there has to be some form of punishment for the woman yeah there has to be some form yeah that wasn't the clip I was looking for that was him in 2016 though but he's been at least consistent with that position there's the other clip where he was in Atlanta where he says that states should be allowed to throw doctors in prison for Reproductive Health Care let's let's uh we'll get that clip in just a moment but Brett he's going to be asked questions like that and let's play question you answered some questions about abortion but do you think a doctor should be punished who perform abortions uh I'll let that be to the States you know everything we're doing now is States and states rights and what we wanted to do is get it back to the States because for 53 years it's been a fight and now the states are handling it and some have handled it very well and the others will end up handling it very well and those are the things that states are going to make a determination about five minutes until the president of the United States Joe Biden will be debating a convicted felon in Atlanta one of the areas actually where Donald Trump has been charged with a racketeering conspiracy as well so Trump actually in a crime scene of his own making as well so I think that's a notable thing President Biden's been mocking Donald Trump throughout the last few hours including the fact that at least as of now we don't know where uh Melania is but President Biden posting that he's happy to have Dr Jill Biden by his side um and former president Trump arrived in Atlanta without Melania Trump by his side so I thought that was notable we just showed you as well the uh the drinks the Biden campaign is passing out um I don't know what they've gotten these performance enhancers but I'm feeling pretty jacked up try it yourself folks um get real Jack it's just water and we showed you at store. mightest touch.com our jacked up Joe gear right there that's 100% real store. mest touch.com that's store. mightest touch.com where we also have there some other items that were featured in the Donald Trump criminal trial since Donald Trump's lawyers made our website one of the key exhibits in their failed cross-examination of Michael Cohen so if you want to purchase the actual exhibits in Trump's criminal trial you go to store.us touch.com five minutes away to the debate the president of the United States will be debating a convicted felon uh while President Biden's having a good time about this right now you have all the magga surrogates out there spreading every conspiracy saying it's rigged and they're whining and it's just such an unbelievable contrast that I think we're going to see on stage as well with this big

disinformation Brett I want to get your closing thoughts Jordy I want to get your closing thoughts before the debate starts Brett I'll start with you yeah you know I think um I I think President Biden's going to do a great job tonight I think Biden shines in these moments I think he's well prepared he's been preparing for the last few days um which Maga tries to act like it's a bad thing that you would prepare for arguably one of the biggest nights of the campaign I mean I I actually like leaders who prepare and don't just Wing everything um but you know I think President Biden's gonna do a great job I think look out for those key moments of the night like the standback standby moment of 2020 that will be the defining moment follow along with Clips on all of our social media follow as on Twitter acyn um follow us on all of our various platforms we will be doing additional coverage there on patreon there is a chat in the patreon app I'm sure a lot of folks will be continuing the

if you see it ontu we requested it CNN told us that any YouTube channels out there who try to run it they will issue copyright takedowns and punish those channels so if you do see other channels doing
