executive director of President Donald Trump's National Diversity Coalition; Kerry Pickett, Washington Post; Rich Valdes, WABC radio; in re: Debate analysis.
Tuesday 29 September 2020 / Hour 3, Block B:  Andrew C McCarthy, @AndrewCMcCarthy, Ball of Collusion;  Thaddeus McCotter, @ThadMcCotter, American Greatness; Rich Valdes, This Is America on WABC radio;  in re: A less-than-civil exchange tonight.  Chris Wallace was to press Biden: eliminate filibuster, pack the Court, support BLM?   He did not. He refereed a boxing match.  Chris Wallace was Biden’s corner man.  London suggests that Biden should cancel the next two debates.  “After tonight, I don't need to see another debate.” --A C McC.  [Oops.]  A lot of Americans got to see that even with a Fox moderator it's not always a fair fight. A two-on-one fight.  At the end of the debate, the president said, “coup, spying, and Logan Act.”
Tuesday 29 September 2020 / Hour 3, Block C:  Andrew C McCarthy, @AndrewCMcCarthy, Ball of Collusion; and Thaddeus McCotter, @ThadMcCotter, American Greatness; Rich Valdes, This Is America on WABC radio;   in re:  Letter released this afternoon:  John Brennan briefed Pres Obama at WH on the US intell community’s learning that Russian intell had learned of a Clinton campaign to smear Donald Trump. Ergo, Pres Obama knew of the smear campaign in July of 2016.  The paper trail is catching up: Obama’s Adm abused power by putting its intell community at the service of [political abuse]. This is a major revelation; “superstorm.”  Why was this never posed to Mr Biden by Chris Wallace during the debate? Three years of an assiduous campaign to say again and again that Trump was a hireling of the Russians: tthat’s a direct lie put out by the Clinton campaign that led to sedition against this administration.  Comey is trying to [cover his tracks].  Lamentably, the facts come out and the media won't cover them.  It appears to be a coup attempt. Durham has all this.  We’re left hanging. All three guests agree that Biden won't answer—although eventually he’ll have to answer in a court of law.  
Tuesday 29 September 2020 / Hour 3, Block D: Brett Arends, @BrettArends; @BrettArends ROI @Marketwatch; Jeff Bliss, #PacificWatch; and Rich Valdes, This Is America on WABC radio;  in re:   In the debate, a whole segment devoted to California, to electric cars by 2035, to tinder on forest floors.  Will need 500,000 charging stations – in a state that can't keep electricity flowing.   As for the market:  watching two fellows tear up traditional [conduct] in a debate.   So divisive, no one can read what this means for the race.  Biden: “Keep yapping.”  Latinos in Cali: Telemundo shows that Trump won 66% to 44%.  Hispanics gravitate to Trump because of cultural agreements. Not-traditional Trump voters are leaning toward him this time: law and order issue, and the lockdown, which is resented.  Will these resonate with suburban voters? Biden said that after four years of Trump, we’re weaker sicker, poorer more divided and more violent.   Hmm.
