The Breakfast Club Reacts To Kamala-Trump First Presidential Debate. Listen for more!

Wake that ass up in the morning. The Breakfast Club more thing.

Everybody is DJ Envy, Jess, Hilary, Charlamagne, the guy. We are the Breakfast Club, Lawna Rosa filling in for Jess, and we got some special guests with us this morning. We have Angela ro and Tiffany Cross here and we're gonna.

Talk to debate.

So before we get started, what did you guys think about the debate last night?

Oh?

I was so happy with Kamala Harris. Harris's performance in part because her non verbals were on point. Yes, I felt like every time she couldn't verbally respond to him, who I think probably talked over her.

Three to one, absolutely did not follow the rules.

I was super frustrated with the moderators who did not enforce the rules against Donald Trump, and then the moment she tried to tap in.

Yes, so I really didn't like that.

But I will say I believe Lindsay Davis did a great job.

Their questions were substantive.

I hated David Meyer bringing back up the you said she wasn't black.

I just thought it wasn't the right. Yeah.

I noticed that this morning during Front Page News when Morgan was playing someone order.

You were getting frustrated at that time. You upset.

Yeah, And I think part of it is this.

Every time that we bring up Donald Trump, I think that we have an obligation to say what is fact versus fiction? And I just want to be very careful that just because he talked more, just because when he's at the bullypool pit, he says a lot of things, it doesn't make it so. So I think we have an obligation. It's very dangerous. I'm someone who's been on the other end of a death threat right because of Donald Trump. So you got to fact check that stuff. It's not okay to just play it and let people think whatever they may.

Now.

Yeah, the responsibility.

Republicans was saying it was a three verse one. What did you guys feel about that?

No, I mean Republicans are gonna come out and say anything. He has such a low bar, and I just because it was brought up, I just want to do a little fact checking about the eating dogs comment. It was an incredibly racist comment by Senator jd Vance and also inaccurate. The Haitian population has It's been an influx of the Haitian population in Springfield. They actually breathed life back into that very sleepy town. They revitalized the economy there. They are not here illegally. They're not in Springfield illegally. They're here under something called TPS Temporary Protected status because of the earthquake that happened in Haiti and all kinds of political turmoil stocked by say to all the Haitians out there, because the country of Haiti is so important. It was the only country that led a revolt. They said, we will not be colonized. And I think it just means something so much to black people. So to insinuate something completely false and racist and it traffics and tropes about the Haitian population, I thought it was disgusting and I didn't even think that moderators did a great fact check there. Back to Vice President.

Discussing, but it was great to hear him say on the stage because he sounded insane an we wanted him Anni.

We were kind of disagreeing about that because she was like, no, let her talk, and I was like, you know what, every time he opens his mouth it helps her. But it is very American to have this incredibly accomplished woman on stage on equal footing to this half asked, half witted acanine man who got not one, not too but three baby mamas, who is an indicted criminal, an unnamed co conspirator in crime. Right, So it just looked disproportionate. You know, he looked incredibly small and beneath her. The sad fact is we've always known that, and seventy five million Americans voted for him, And I don't think he moved anybody from his base last night, because there are a great group of people who would rather see this country burn to the ground than to see a black woman run it. It was a clear choice last night. It was great to not angelite also disagree on the audience. I'm happy there's no audience there. This is your chance to give your platform presented to the American people and let the American people make an intelligent choice. It is not a I don't want to hear cheers, cheers, anything like that. Yeah, So I felt like right.

Benefited Trump exactly? Think so absolutely, I don't think so.

I think that I think that we misunderstand how much Kamala Harris also feeds off of audience energy.

You see some of that at the rallies.

I think it was fine, Like I thought it was going to mean more before the debate. We talked about it on our podcast, Native Lampard, by the way, But what I feel is that she's zoned like she zoned in.

She talked right to the American people.

It really was of no consequence, and she demonstrated the difference between what a leader is and what leader looks.

Question, you would have done different if you were her?

Sorry, I was to ask one question, the fact that he did not have a plan ready and he's been.

He has a concept plan, leave him alone. What did you guys think about that?

Where you know, Kamala Harris said she had a plan and he says, I have a concept of a plan.

He does have a plan. He tries to distance himself from Project twenty twenty five, but the fact of the matter is hundreds of his staffers work on it, hundreds of his staffers drafted it, and he is closely affiliated with These are people he still talks to on a regular basis. He only distanced himself after it was unearthed, after people in the media started talking about it. But trust me, if his staff is writing it, he's guiding their hands. So he has a plan and also he has a record to stand on. I's not Kamala Harris. Vice President. Harris did a great job of laying that out last night, of detailing the things that he did during his four years in the administration. That is also part of the reason, just to echo Angela's point, when we present facts and information as journalists, you have to in real time fact check everything this man says. Because the sad reality, people are not reading the papers anymore, people are not consuming news and information. So many people are getting their news from TikTok and Instagram, and I would just beg everybody have some intellectual curiosity. She put her policy platform up on her website. You can read it. You can go to her website and see it. You can also google it from reputable news sources and look at it and see how it impacts you on what it does for you, and not hear things that are disproportionately in his favor. I think the news media is begging him to get back an.

Office if he spoke about Project twenty twenty five last night the way he did Charlottesville, because he said that there's probably some good I've never read it, but there's probably some good things to then the's proably bad things.

Yeah you did.

And that's the thing too that I think we all have to remember. I wish that she would have hit him. I told tiff and Andrew this last night on the show that I wish that she would have hit him when he said I have a concept of a plan to say, oh, no, you have a plan. It's called Project twenty twenty five and put that right at his feet. I think him taking time to say her and she and never looking at her, never saying Kamala Harris, never saying vice President Harris or Madame vice President was very telling. And I think that was probably the only thing that he went out of his debate prep to dehumanize her, and I think he went above and beyond to do just that.

Yes, what about the very beginning when she walked on stage VeryE She.

Looked very presidential, she looked very I'm gonna come shape, And he looked.

Like he was running.

He hadn't run up or done up. It was on site thought.

That she looked like to give me a hug purse.

Well, if you remember back when he was on stage with Hilary Clinton, he was incredibly inappropriate he was invading her space. He was walking behind her. I think it was great that she commanded the stage. She showed she's an adult. One of the things we talked about last night is she is not only on that debate stage speaking to him, the moderators of the American people. She is on a global stage speaking to other worlds, world leaders, and so she has to present herself like an adult in the face of a petulant child. And I thought, going out there saying let's have a good debate and going back to her stage, he was afraid to approach her. He was afraid to look at her. I think he has a fear.

Of black women.

And I've talked about him because he's talked about how attractive she looked on the cover of Time magazine. He said, oh, I thought she was younger. Turns out she's sixty. We age a little different as black women, as he'll find out. He just invoked a war with every aka across the town talking about she was at a sorority party. So I think thought that she made herself look extremely presidential, and he looked fearful and small.

Good to the folks, let's say, cause when we come back okay, eight hundred five eight five one oh five to one. If you have questions for Angelaae Tiffany Cross, they are here.

Let's discuss this. The breakfast slug woman warning everybody in cj.

NV, Jess, Hilarian Charlamagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. La Laos was filling in for Jess and we have Angela rae In, tiff Need Cross and a lot of people on the line want to talk about the debate.

So let's go to the phone call. Hello, who's this.

Yo?

This Robbie Man from Love to Ohio.

Robbie from Ohio. What's your question? Brother?

My question is I want to know what is the process of the debate, Like how do they get these people together to sit down and have these conversations like this, where, in my opinion, very little of what they're going to do for the country is spoken of. It's more of like a going back and forth fit tax for battle.

I do agree with some people that they felt like it wasn't enough policy.

To the future.

I think that she did talk about an immigration and border security plan. She talked about her plan to codify Row versus Wade and how important it is to strengthen the protections in ro versus wage, opportunity economy trade. She did talk about opportunity economy. She talked about her small business agenda and the importance of small businesses to the fabric of this country. And this goes back to our point, right about running those Donald Trump Donald Tripp, Yes, that dude, Donald Trump clips. When you run those clips, you don't hear substance. You hear a rambling elder. And that's not who Kamala Harris should be judged by, because that's not what she spoke to.

So I actually think it's very different.

What you don't have in a debate is the ability to force someone to answer the question as asked. He was asked substantive questions. He chose to wallow in the shallow, which that's all he can do.

And to answer your question, there's a debate commission that works with both candidates. You have to reach a certain stature or numbers as a candidate to participate fifteen percent, and they work with both candidate and they agree on the rules and they also both agree on the network.

To Eric, we have Eric one.

Eric, good morning, good morning, good morning, everybody.

What's your question?

My question, Well, y'all gotta have a real conversation about the debate last night.

I think we haven't one. Now, what's up Eric to say?

You know what I mean by that. I know most of everybody in there is a commerce supporter. But I watched the debate and I'm saying that they bought it at their movement.

I didn't see Donald Trump laying nothing.

Can you back up from the phone.

What's his moment?

What do you mean when it was his moment?

I'm asking what was the moment?

What did he What did you like that Donald Trump said he.

Was in office? Was there in war? Was there a war in Ukraine?

No? All right?

So did he was telling the truth on that.

What it was?

There was no war in Ukraine because Putin had not tried to annexed Crimea at that point. That has nothing to do with the president Trump was saying that.

That's why Trump was saying he never Trump said he always wanted to go in Ukraine, but he knew better because he was.

But you're suggesting that that Putino down to Trump.

No, I'm not saying he bowed down, But there wasn't no war. Though Biden came in there was a war.

So are you suggesting that the war is Biden's fault.

No, He's just saying, No, that's not what I'm saying.

Saying the world perceives us as weak because of Biden, because of Harris, and that's why they decided to go into your Trump Trump Trump Trump.

And I'm trying to get.

To the point that Donald Trump had a moment specifically at the debate too.

Yeah, he had it.

He had his moment because some of the stuff that he did, he was telling the truth.

Like what specifically, what policies specifically, we.

Try to give you a platform to say something, but you don't seem like you know what you're talking about.

Brother, letting it down there. They definitely maga, damn. Hello, this.

Is Chelsea.

Hey, Chelsea, good morning, good morning, and good morning man, Lauren.

Good morning.

Here too.

Okay, okay, Chelsea. I was just calling after listening to the bate last night and watching it and see Trump say that women are getting abortions in the ninth tenth months after they have a child, asking the.

Doctor to kill it.

As a mother myself and a woman, I was just insulted.

Guess understandable.

You should be insulted, and I hope you take that insult to the ballot box to show just how insulted you are.

Bring some of your friends to.

Sure. I will for sure.

I think they said the vice president raised six million dollars within the last hour of the debate, and seventy percent of the donors were women, or something like that.

I thought I read that.

So in closing, how did you feel about the debate? What do you think could have been better? What do you think that Kamala Harris could have did better? What did you want to see more of.

I'm somebody that believes in getting in someone's head, and Donald Trump has shown what you can get in his head about the size of his rallies and talking. So there were a couple of moments where he was like, quiet please, and when he said quiet please, we.

Couldn't hear her, but he could hear her.

So I wish that she would have spoke to it and spoke a lot more when you were saying like you're lying, you know you're lying, just to get in his head.

I bet I think she really had a flawless performance.

Again, I would have liked to see the moderators enforce the rules a little more fairly and for him to shut up.

But that's a tall order, Tiffany.

I would have liked the debate moderators to enforce the rules a lot more strongly than they did, and I would have liked her to get some more zingers in. I think there were times where there were good times when she was telling a narrative, which I thought was great, But there were times where he would say something and she could just right off the top, you know, say something I think, and I talk about this. I keep a bullet in the chamber, so I'm always ready to go with some slick ass, like insulting comment, And every time she was saying something, then I wanted to just jump in and say something smart because like I said, or like An said, that would throw him off his game.

But but for overall, she she did a great job.

And there was times like when he said that you know, y'all did nothing for student loan that I was like, why didn't she just correct him? Why didn't she just say no, we did. We gave this amount of ability someone to correct them on. It was like I got to correct them on everything. There was one time and she had to go back that shouldn't have.

Been her job checked him, I think three times.

And I want to ask y'all to how do y'all think cable news should be handling it, because I think everybody on the cable news should be talking about how Donald Trump just might be retarded today. No Trump promise, I promise you find another word.

What they should be saying is that this is someone who has a treacherous relationship with the truth, and he demonstrated treacher's.

Relationship with the truth is far better than what you just relationship relationship with the truth can't.

What did y'all feel about what she kept saying, I have a plan, like I have a plan, I have a plan.

People were going at that as well.

Last time I said, no, I guess what she was saying in the speech was they would say, it's reminiscent that I have a dream, I have a plan.

Did y'all hear?

But you know what she did say is we're not going back, and she invited people in to participate with her. So for the folks who said they did not know Kamala Harris yet there was a poll that said forty eight percent, I think folks got to see a different side of her and I.

Thought it was a good one absolutely all right. Well, thank you guys for joining.
