THANK YOU FOR THE STANDING OVATION. SO, WE'RE A WEEK AWAY FROM THE FIRST PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE OF THE 2024 ELECTION, AND THE STAGE HAS BEEN SET. THERE'S NO LIVE AUDIENCE. NO OPENING STATEMENTS. NO NOTES ALLOWED. MICROPHONES WILL ALSO BE MUTED WHILE THE OTHER CANDIDATE IS SPEAKING. WHICH COULD STOP TRUMP FROM GOING INTO RANTS LIKE THIS. WATCH. >> IS ANYBODY GOING TO WATCH THE DEBATE? HE'S GOING TO BE SO PUMPED UP, HE'S GOING TO BE PUMPED UP. YOU KNOW ALL THAT STUFF THAT WAS MISSING ABOUT A MONTH AGO FROM THE WHITE HOUSE? WHAT HAPPENED? WHO LEFT IT? SOMEBODY LEFT IT. I WONDER, LET'S SEE, SOMEBODY LEFT A LAPTOP IN AN OFFICE OF A GENTLEMAN WHO WAS SUPPOSED TO FIX THE LAPTOP FROM HELL. HE NEVER PICKED IT UP. AND SOMEBODY DIDN'T PICK UP HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS WORTH OF COCAINE. I WONDER WHO THAT COULD HAVE BEEN. I DON'T KNOW. ACTUALLY, I THINK IT WAS JOE. >> Joy: SO JOE BIDEN IS THE OLDEST -- HE WOULD BE THE OLDEST LIVING PRESIDENT. AND TRUMP WOULD BE THE OLDEST LIVING CONVICTED FELON. SO, WHO -- WHO HAS GOT MORE TO PROVE HERE? >> Alyssa: I THINK THE STAKES ARE HIGH FOR BOTH. IT'S IMPORTANT WHAT'S HAPPENING FOR DEMOCRACY, SEEING THE CONTRAST AND THE JUXTAPOSITION. FOR BIDEN, HE NEEDS TO TAKE ON THE ISSUE OF AGE OF VITALITY. HE NEEDS TO LOOK FORCEFUL. DONALD TRUMP NEEDS TO APPEAR NOT CRAZY. >> THAT'S GOING TO BE HARD, ALYSSA. >> Alyssa: A WORLD IN WHICH HE COULD KEEP IT 90 MINUTES, SUBSTANTIVE ON POLICY. I'VE SEEN HIM DO IT. BUT ON THE OTHER SIDE HE MIGHT SHOUT OUT A DOMESTIC TERRORISM ORGANIZATION LIKE HE DID IN THE LAST FIRST DEBATE. A RECORD NUMBER OF PEOPLE WILL TUNE IN, BUT ALSO WHAT MATTERS IS WHAT ENDS UP ON TIKTOK. SIX IN TEN AMERICANS DIDN'T WANT THIS REMATCH AND HERE WE ARE, THEY'RE GOING TO TUNE IN TO SEE THE BEST OPTION. >> Ana: THE REPUBLICANS AND TRUMP AND HIS MIN NONES HAVE DONE THEMSELVES SUCH DISSERVICE WITH EDITED CUT AND SPLICE VIDEOS SPREADING AROUND OF BIDEN SEEMING LOST AND DECREPIT. THEY'VE MADE IT SO THEY'VE LOWERED THE BAR SO THAT IF JOE BIDEN SHOWS UP, AND DOESN'T KEEL OVER ON HIS WAY TO THE PODIUM, HE'S HAD A GOOD NIGHT. AND, YOU KNOW, AND I ALSO THINK THAT IT'S PART OF THE REASON THAT YOU NOW SEE TRUMP SAYING, OH, HE'S ON DRUGS. WHICH, BY THE WAY, I CAN'T BELIEVE WE HAVE TO SAY THIS, IT'S PATENTLY FALSE. EVERYTHING YOU JUST SAW IN THAT VIDEO, THERE IS NO EVIDENCE FOR, IT'S ABSOLUTELY FALSE. HE'S MAKING IT UP. I THINK JOE BIDEN NEEDS TO GET UNDER HIS SKIN. I THINK HE NEEDS TO MOCK HIM, GET UNDER HIS SKIN, HE NEEDS TO CURE TRUMP AMNESIA THIS COUNTRY HAS AND REMIND US OF THE HORROR OF THE FOUR YEARS, HE NEEDS TO TOUT AND TAKE CREDIT FOR ALL THE THINGS HIS ADMINISTRATION HAS DONE, BUT ALSO BE FORWARD LOOKING. >> Sara: HE DOESN'T NEED TO MOCK HIM, THOUGH. SO EASY TO RATTLE HIM. >> Joy: RATTLE WHO? >> Sara: DONALD TRUMP. STAY THE REGULAR PERSON AND BE THE CONTRAST TO CRAZY, TALKING ABOUT THINGS THAT ENRAGE HIM, TALK ABOUT WHO WON THE ELECTION, GO FROM THERE. YOU CAN LITERALLY -- HE IS HIGHLY EMOTIONAL REACTIVE HUMAN BEING. IT'S NOT RESPONSE. RESPONDING TO SOMEONE TAKES THOUGHT AND IS USUALLY CAREFUL. HE IS ONLY REACTIVE. SO I THINK HE JUST HAS TO START SLOW, AND I WOULD PREFER HE DOESN'T MOCK HIM BECAUSE MOCKING IS DONALD TRUMP'S WEAPON. HE DOES IT WELL. LET HIM DO THAT. BEAT HIM ON CALM TOPICS THAT WILL JUST MAKE HIM LOSE HIS MIND. >> Joy: WHAT IF TRUMP SAYS SOMETHING ABOUT HIS SON, BIDEN'S SON, THAT'S A TRIGGER POINT? >> Sunny: I THINK BIDEN IS A REAL STATESMAN, HE WILL RISE TO THAT OCCASION. WE KNOW WHO TRUMP IS. HE'S A CONVICTED FELON. 34 TIMES. I THINK PEOPLE WILL TUNE IN, I'M CURIOUS HOW MANY PEOPLE WILL TUNE IN. WE HAVE TO BECAUSE IT DO IT FOR A LIVING. PURE RESEARCH PEGS THE NUMBER OF VOTERS WHO MAKE UP THEIR MINDS BASED ON DEBATES AT ABOUT 10%. I THINK THIS IS GOING TO BE DIFFERENT BECAUSE, REMEMBER THAT GAME ROCK EMSOCK EM, WHERE THEY WOULD. >> Sara: BLUE AND RED, YEAH. >> Sunny: I THINK IT'S BACK AND FORTH, I AGREE WITH ANA. I THINK HE NEEDS TO NOT GO SO STATESMANLY THAT HE LETS TRUMP GET AWAY WITH THE STALKING TYPE OF BEHAVIOR WE SAW WITH HILLARY CLINTON, ALL OF THE MISINFORMATION THAT WE SAW WITH THE CAITLIN COLLINS INTERVIEW. HE NEEDS TO MEET HIM WHERE HE'S AT AND BEAT HIM AT HIS OWN GAME. >> Joy: JOE SHOULD NOT IS SAY SOMETHING LIKE, WHILE I WAS, YOU KNOW, HELPING OBAMA WITH THE AFFORDABLE ACT -- AND WHEN I REDUCED INFLATION AND WHEN I BROUGHT GAS PRICES DOWN, SUPPOSEDLY, I DON'T KNOW IF HE EVEN CAN DO THAT, YOU WERE GETTING HIT WITH A ROLLED UP NEWSPAPER BY A PORN STAR. SHOULD HE SAY THAT? >> Sunny: NO, I DON'T THINK HE SHOULD GO THAT FAR. >> Joy: WHAT DO YOU THINK? WOULD THAT WORK? >> Sunny: I DON'T THINK IT GOES THAT FAR. >> Joy: IT'S HISTORY. >> Sunny: I THINK HE MEETS HIM WHERE HE'S AT AS A STATESMAN. >> Ana: YOU KNOW SOMETHING, IF DONALD TRUMP GOES AFTER HUNTER BIDEN HE DOES IT AT HIS OWN PERIL. FEW AMERICAN FAMILIES HAVEN'T BEEN TOUCHED BY THE DRUG. TRUMP HAS A BROTHER WHO DIED OF ADDICTION. >> Sara: THIS HAPPENS, IN OUR JUSTICE SYSTEM, HE WAS PUNISHED, PROUD OF MY SON. PEOPLE ARE LIKE, WHAT DID YOU
