Media Research Center Senior Research Analyst Bill D’Agostino says voters don't like when moderators spar with one candidate on behalf of another as seen in last night’s debate between former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris. “Frankly, if Kamala Harris is worth her weight in salt, then she shouldn’t like that either. She should want to be able to finish these arguments for herself but instead she’s got essentially mom and dad taking care of things for her,” he says.

Former Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Mark Morgan says the Biden administration deserting 90% of Afghanistan assets will make it more difficult for the U.S. to develop overseas relations going forward. Morgan says future assets will point to the disastrous Afghanistan withdrawal as proof our country won’t protect them.

Former Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Mark Morgan says Springfield, Ohio’s Haitian migrant crisis is the direct result of the Biden-Harris administration’s open border policies. “It’s why we’ve been saying for a very long time that every state is a border state,” he says.

Big Data Poll Director Rich Baris says polling shows 37% of voters said former President Donald Trump is too far to the right while 57% of the country said Vice President Kamala Harris is “too liberal” of a candidate. “It was, again, a polished performance,” Baris says of Harris at last night's debate. “But when it came to substance, she did not allay their fears that she’s too much to the left. She’s not Joe Biden, who people did think was a moderate, and that’s not the case here."

Big Data Poll Director Rich Baris says Vice President Kamala Harris should have spent more time justifying her platform to voters instead of attacking former President Donald Trump at last night’s debate. “I don’t think she met the bar at all. She put on a good show, but she didn’t give people a reason, a justification to vote for her and sometimes that can be worse than Donald Trump not having the best night,” he says.

AMAC Spokesperson and former Assistant Secretary of State Bobby Charles says Vice President Kamala Harris has a far-left policy record “to be afraid of.” "[Donald Trump] represents a future that we can all live with and feel good about. She represents a nightmare future,” he says.

Miklos Szantho talks about the success of CPAC Hungary 2024 and the launch of “Wokebusters,” an on- and offline special task force campaigning against far-left ideology. Szantho hopes to see the project develop into an international campaign if former President Donald Trump wins the November election.

CPAC Hungary Chair Miklos Szantho explains why former President Donald Trump winning the November election would be beneficial for Hungary and other Western civilizations. Szantho says one of Trump’s winning positions is his vow to end the Ukraine-Russia war.

“Saving America” Host Brian Glenn says tonight's presidential debate will test Vice President Kamala Harris's policy platform against former President Donald Trump. Glenn says the debate will also require Harris to speak about her policies for longer than 60-second soundbites.

Representative James Comer (R-KY) hopes tonight’s presidential debate will expose Vice President Kamala Harris’ far-left policies and ideology. “We’ve seen the bad policies of the Biden-Harris administration. But if you look at Kamala Harris, she’s much further to the left than poor old Joe Biden was," he says. “And we see how much damage poor old Joe Biden’s done to the American people.”

Representative James Comer (R-KY) says the bipartisan BIOSECURE Act would prohibit American companies from working with five Chinese biotech companies and move medical and biotechnology manufacturing away from China and back to the United States. “It may be ok for China to make garments and things like that but it's not ok for China to make our medicine," he says.

Representative James Comer (R-KY) says the billions of dollars in pandemic unemployment relief fraud is the result of “years and years” of government incompetence. “Government is so bad that the bureaucrats now don’t have any remorse or concern about the taxpayer dollars,” he says. “Look, we’ve proven that they wasted as much as $200 billion—that's one-fifth of a trillion dollars—through fraud in the COVID unemployment programs and worse, no one’s been held accountable."

Representative Josh Brecheen (R-OK) says Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s (R-GA) hearing Monday on the treatment of January 6 prisoners exposed human rights violations against those incarcerated. He says the hearing also revealed how the autopsy of Rosanne Boyland, a protestor beaten by a DC Metro Police officer who later died, was kept from her family. "The family was given the narrative by the media that this was because of a drug overdose, and yet the autopsy was kept from the family by the District of Columbia's decision making. Yet, months after that reporting occurred, the autopsy comes out and says that the death of this woman was the result of a broken ribcage," Rep. Brecheen says.

Representative Josh Brecheen (R-OK) says Democrat members of Congress don’t know how to legislate because they have no principle leading their party. Rep. Brecheen slams the Democratic Party for “painting a picture of celebration” while our country heads toward demise.

Adam Weinstein, deputy director of the Middle East Program at the Quincy Institute, weighs in on why young Americans and Republicans have turned against “forever wars” and international military interventions. Weinstein says prior to 9/11, America focused on the legacy of just wars like World War II and forgotten about the aftermath of Vietnam.

Amber Duke, Washington editor of The Spectator, says President Kamala Harris’ history of turning against her bosses goes back to her days as an assistant district attorney in San Francisco. Duke explains how Harris led a nasty personal campaign for San Francisco district attorney against her boss, despite insisting beforehand that she wouldn’t run against him.

Amber Duke, Washington editor of The Spectator, says Vice President Kamala Harris should explain why she abandoned her 2019 policies and became a 2024 moderate during tomorrow night’s debate. “Where exactly did that transformation come from? Is it all political lip service as Senator Bernie Sanders suggested in a recent interview?” Duke questions.

Amber Duke, Washington editor of The Spectator, says Vice President Kamala Harris’ position on housing and illegal immigration hurts young voters' goal of achieving the American Dream. “Her plans are completely opposite to the real issues facing young Americans and I think they realize that,” she says.

Trump 2024 Senior Advisor Danielle Alvarez criticizes the Harris campaign’s request for the microphones to be unmuted and candidates seated during tomorrow night’s presidential debate. “They also wanted to bring in notes. That’s very alarming for someone who wants to serve as the President of the United States, who’s auditioning for that role, to be unable for an hour and a half to answer questions,” she says.

Trump 2024 Senior Advisor Danielle Alvarez hopes the ABC moderators at tomorrow night’s presidential debate grill Vice President Kamala Harris about her “very liberal, California beliefs.” “Tomorrow will be the first chance for the American people to really get answers from Kamala Harris since she ascended the throne 50 days ago,” she says.

John McLaughlin, veteran pollster and CEO of McLaughlin & Associates, predicts Vice President Kamala Harris will use President Joe Biden’s playbook and “try her best” to taunt former President Donald Trump at tomorrow night’s debate. “Joe Biden in the debate called President Trump a convicted felon. Joe Biden attacked him personally to his face and President Trump had the poise and class to be able to just power through that and keep on scoring points on the issues because that’s what Americans care about,” he says.

John McLaughlin, veteran pollster and CEO of McLaughlin & Associates, says over 7 out of 10 voters he polled had “no clue” where Vice President Kamala Harris stands on top issues like illegal immigration and healthcare. “People are going to tune in because they don’t know where she stands other than she’s been Joe Biden’s vice president for the last four years,” he says. “And people know when Donald Trump was president, they were better off than they are today.”

George Beebe, Director of Grand Strategy at the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft, explains why the Ukraine-Russia war won’t influence China’s decision to invade against Taiwan. “This is a variation of the old domino theory that you heard during the Vietnam War years. That if South Vietnam were to fall to communism, then other states in the region would fall and you’d have a domino effect, not just throughout the region but throughout the war of the advance of communism,” he explains. “Well, that didn’t happen and the states that were trying to judge whether they ought to challenge the United States and its commitments in various parts of the world actually made those decisions based on local conditions, on the specific aspects of their region and their issues. And I think the Chinese are going to do that vis-à-vis Taiwan.”
