Show Notes
On Wednesday’s Mark Levin Show, the media are ecstatic over Wednesday night’s debate and feel like Kamala Harris delivered a knockout punch to Donald Trump because to Harris this was a debate to her real constituency: the media. Harris was trained for this debate to appeal to the media that she has been avoiding and came ready with her cheap shots and 25 lies about Trump. We have no idea what Harris’s plans are for crime, immigration, or tackling inflation and reducing the prices of things like food, gasoline, vehicles, and housing – all things that affect the American people. There is no reason for Trump to have a second debate against Harris and the moderators, and the real losers are undecided American voters. Also, today is the 23rd anniversary of the 9/11 terror attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. America is less safe today thanks to a wide-open border and failing infrastructure under the Biden/Harris administration, and we need Trump now more than ever to protect and secure our country. Later, Rich Valdes, host of America at Night, fills in for Mark. Trump has every right to decline a second debate with Kamala Harris after the debacle last night, but it would be nice to see Trump expose Kamala again to the voters.
