All right i want to thank you both for a very robust hour and a half fantastic debate really appreciate it President Trump, former Vice President joe biden thank you to Belmont University for hosting us tonight and most importantly. Thank you to those watching tonight election day is november 3rd dont forget to vote. Thank you everyone and have a great night. Election headquarters this is inside bay area politics. Let me ask you first and they did it we change the policy a spy. We did sent the cages they who built the k gesture of us talk cages locked about were talking about. Hello everybody thank you for joining us for this postdebate edition of inside bay area politics, im Catherine Heenan andrew with from less than 2 weeks to the election. Tonight we did see the second the final president ial debate. Wrapping up at Belmont University in nashville, just moments ago, youre looking live at the scene and this was a last chance for President Trump and joe biden too share the stage maybe influence. Some undecided voters although they are not a lot of them. Joining me are political analyst michael yaki michael is the host of the kron podcast the politically smart ask a professor David Mckeown chair of the pali side apartment at sonoma state. And Jonathan Madison jonathan is a bay area, vice chair of the California Republican party hey can i just say mckeown gets extra points for participation. He is teaching a class right now so apparently were part of the class. The president s advisers told him to cool down to behave tonight and. Whether it was that whether it was being nearly 13 feet apart, this was a very different debate gentlemen, let me get your first impressions. Michael all start with you. The 1st half of debate. I was wondering what exactly the topic was could seem to be basically all about hunter and i think that was a mistake by the president. I mean the president actually did do better you actually like well lets put this up. There was such a low bar considering the first debate. He did much better this time around. I thought he did it had a very strong 2nd half of the debate quite frankly, and in the end that one question at that last question a Christian Welker about leadership and he just when back to us. It went back to a Campaign Speech biden took it to the American People i think overall. Both did ok jobs i think that on points biden did better. I think that in terms of what the president needed to do to move the needle that he needs need to do very badly given the fact that hes trailing in the polls. You can get it done. All right david what do you think. So if youve got 12 days left and youre trying to change the trajectory of this race but youre talking about children in cages at the border without their parents, youre not changing the narrative she not moving the and really this while its interesting and while there are very few undecided voters, but they do exist. What are folks seen in pennsylvania for example in bucks county water folk scene in florida, the president has to win florida and joe biden needs bucks county pennsylvania. When you look at those 2 areas does searcher jacket retrain change much when youre talking about kids in cages and perhaps thats not the case. We dont know that debates move the needle much as they as the campaign drags on and in some ways when youre spending the first 25 minutes of the debate talking about covid and the pandemic it is the weight of that that really upsets everything thats going on with the incumbent because it goes to the economy goes to health care it goes to protest in the streets and that makes it very difficult for any incumbent, not just donald trump. All right and republicans of course have been saying that President Trump needed a strong debate so jonathan did he have that. I think you did contrary to doctor mcewen is point i think it is important to narratives here. I mean if anybody on twitter will tell you the main take away from tonights debate to build the and the president that probably. For a good 5 to 10 minutes. And the Vice President just did have a response didnt even want to entertain response to that but beyond that i also think it was important for the president to highlight issues for people of color different he talk intelligently when challenged by the Vice President. Issues of prison reform. Mandatory minimum sentencing, you talk about the first step back. Is done a number for people of color in African American communities. I personally worked part time in Prison Ministry outside of my day job isnt turning. I can tell you the Africanamerican Community communities of color been calling for decades for some of the reforms that the president has championed legislation yachts also talk about the effort he made in covid19 to combat the spread of the virus. And so i think overall i did get a tremendous job defending himself i expected the Vice President a lot more especially on the on the top of covid19 job, the president for not doing a good enough job and didnt have proposal himself when it came down to. All right john well be back with more highlights more analysis after the break stay with us. Solitary person when he was going through his impeachment testifying under oath to work for him said i did my job effectively very question. Didnt have a job for a long time was sadly no longer in the military service i wont get into that. And he didnt have a job as soon as he became Vice President. But richmond that did this look but not the best reputation in the world. I hear that paid him a 183,000. A month listen to this 183 and they gave him a 3 Million Dollars upfront pay my right and he had no longer just to let the vice pres. All right welcome back to our special edition of inside bay area politics, im Catherine Heenan along with our analyst michael yaki David Mckeown Jonathan Madison. Yes, we knew the president was going to target bidens family his son hunter in particular in a quite a bit of time on that maybe the bigger question how well did biden handle it. And is this story actually going to hurt biting with undecided voters and michael will go back to you. I think that people dont care quite frankly very much, what hunter biden and i really dont think that that that that to as much support i think the president s attempts continued attempts to try and steer into this. I think were its almost selfdefeating and i think that biden had a good comeback when he said basically said shows your tax return and sport or stop talking about corruption. But i think that what were what were looking at here is its all about the pandemic and i think what david said is right the first the first 22 minutes were about the pandemic or about about the virus by traded, jack she steered the questions back to a lot a lot during that time i think that you know i have no idea why the president things that hunter biden is winning winning a angle, i know that hes desperate to try and get william barr or chris for a 2. A launch an investigation into the into the Vice President i dont think its going to happen. So i think it was a wasted opportunity for the president. All right david an awful lot of voters are really following or even totally understand the hunter biden conversation, what are your thoughts. Yes, i think if think about the last 3 weeks because it will we go back and look at the hunter biden controversy before the democratic convention. Look at what happened in august, not a lot of voters are paying attention to that point but hunter biden story wasnt grabbing people. And what i mean by that is it wasnt grabbing and expanding the trump base youve got the base, hes got a tremendous amount of support by republicans but he needs a base plus and obviously in a high turnout election that were seeing so far you dont see that base plus growing talking about 100 by if you think about the last 3 weeks right that was and we had the first which was just a slugfest and embarrassing then a few days later the president first lady test positive for then the president goes to walter reed returns to the white house and a few days later, we get the first and only Vice President ial debate the next day prosecutors are an idea and a and a plan that was going to assassinate the governor of michigan and then you get this an even this when the president returned to the campaign trail leading us up doing town halls in this whole period of time the narrative has been written that the president is running from behind this tonight change any of that grow the base plus i dont see that happening. Jonathan. Changes things a whole any more than the discussion of the president s tax returns to the Vice President joe biden former Vice President spent about 15 to 20 minutes just harping on that hoping that something will come of it, turns out the president claimed a previous accident. But i also think that it could spell some implications biden down the road even hunter biden theres a Senate Investigation scheduled for tomorrow. Theres been an interview hunter biden former associate of 100 bidens also some subpoenas towards facebook and twitter investigating us to a story about how theres email substantiating exactly what hunter biden was 80. 10s of millions of dollars under his fathers watch you saw a President Trump biden the big man is reference. In the emails and biden didnt say anything to that effect. Entering the call mission by science but any you never know what can happen. All right and mission by silent. I think its more im more how can you talk about somebody that has absolutely ridiculous is that this is a guy lets lets take a line from President Trump. Hes been in office 47 years, hes been looked at upside down any number of different races theres been no chance of any personal corruption by joe biden whatsoever. This is just desperate stuff. We know that that we know that soviet that by the soviet union. So that would be so weak in the russians have to want trump to win they know that that hes and hes been warned by his intelligence agencies that Rudy Giuliani was was a point person for them in terms of feeding this information back to the United States and his only reaction was oh well thats rudy its again. I think that at the American People understand the president has a relation but russia i think they are and they understand that he was impeached because he tried to do tried to get the Vice President and on this whole burry something and it didnt end entered in stick. Then and expect to get the president in trouble so i you know, i mean lets lets just there was talk about the real facts here which which the president who doesnt. He has no plan for the pandemic still that has no plans but the pandemic its just hoping that theres a miracle vaccine really quick which and even he admitted they only last for months me last night dont know michael so at a do you want to weigh ins or. Well, i mean look theres a theres a joe and his campaign are putting together a body normalcy a return to normalcy and expectations and that is ruling the day so far that we see with heavy as as were moving closer and closer to 12 days from an election and then that really i think its rice to a bigger question. If the president and his team lose if theyre unsuccessful what is the posttrump gop look like which is an interesting question and if democrats lose whats the post Biden Democratic Party look like i think those are both kind of interesting questions for whats coming up because this election is looking that heavy turnout that usually turns out an incumbent. All johnson all come back to you after the break, but well be back with more highlights more analysis after this break. 100 beef and hearty chili. Try my 5. 99 chili cheeseburger combo. Its pretty delicious. 100 beef and hearty chili. Try my 5. 99 chili cheeseburger combo. Its pretty delicious. Real politics.
