the debate stage. yet again, as we await more key decisions to come out within hours, it's already been quite a tumultuous, an unusual week to the supreme in court acknowledging now that it inadvertently and briefly posted a document online yesterday concerning idaho's near-total abortion ban the ruling could officially come out as soon as today we are also still waiting on another very high-profile decision on donald trump's claim of presidential immunity and obs instruction charges against january 6, rioters. can wally is the author of pardon power, how the system works, and why she's also a former assistant us attorney and a professor of law at the university of baltimore. can wally? thank you so much for joining us this morning. can you talk to us first? about how unusual it is that something like this got posted online that appeared to be a decision or a draft decision well we've seen it once before, of course. and the infamous leaps leak of the dobbs decision. this is a massive breach of protocol

for the debate

no, it's hard. debate the liar. and what is interesting, it was the democrats who wanted to hold the debate earlier, even before the party ones congresses at which presidential candidates are officially nominated. republicans will do it in july, and democrats in august. and the calculation of biden's headquarters was to remind the voters of who trump was before and thus strengthen the position of the current president. and one more reason - to have more time to recover if there is a failed step, which actually they will have to do now. an interviewer of the american tv channel cbs briefly summarized the results of the debate for us. always the main opinion about the debaters is who won and who lost. in this situation american television, american media mostly say that the voter didn't really win because he didn't get much out of this debate, because former president trump lied repeatedly, and president biden's tone, his manner left much to be desired for democrats and any potential democrat, which... might have been

in that debate. the joe biden that we saw on the debate stage was about 90% more soft-spoken than that and in a monotone when you could not discern him. i will say president biden, my opinion, very much seemed to warm up through the 90 minutes a of the debate and clearly beyond where we saw him right there. vintage joe biden. his opponent, former president trump, you saw president biden criticizing e him as having lie in every answer. i think i would describe former president trump's performance as having been very confident and sort of coherent, meaning he was speaking in sentences and saying things you could understand whether you agreed. he became much more aggressive, much less coherent, and repeatedly failed to answer questions post by the moderators which people in debating always do but it became embarrassing when they would reiterate and reiterate and reiterate the question and he would go back to, in many cases, points from earlier in the debate where he had come off very badly are points wh

no matter what debate. as we already told you at the top of the show, we are just a few hours away from president biden and former president trump going head to head. and now our media partners at the san francisco standard have found a way to keep it interesting. they've created a presidential debate drinking bingo game, and they explained the big cheeky idea in this new article. it's a fun way to follow along and help you get through the night. when i heard cheeky, i thought must be astrid kane and indeed astrakhan, the standards senior culture reporter joins us live now. hey, how's it going? the cheekiest right. so, so happy to have you here because this is so fun, and here it is. voila. the bingo card. what's the big idea behind this? >> well, no one actually knows what topics cnn has chosen for tonight's debate. it's been kept a secret, so we had to guess somehow. and rather than just guess the topics we thought we would try to guess the responses or the gaffes or the truly weird things that might happ

about this debate. i knew if anybody wanted to talk about the base, it would be you 3, thanks for joining me. the. the steve on this one because the white house press secretary gen saki actually predicted trump may bail from the debate, since most of the guidelines are set by the by and campaign. let's listen. trump could certainly say i never agreed to those those specifics. and the letter any probably will, and that's how this all falls apart. however, while donald trump skip to the republican primary debate, he has been egging biting on 4 months, saying this back in december. the way you debate joe biden, if he is the nominee and you are, then i'm in a while, i look forward to that i have that 10 debates about the side for cricket. joe biden is the worst president in the history of the united states. and i to debate, we owe it to our country, we owe it to all americans anytime, anywhere, any place. so, so steve, will this debate actually happen, or what one of the candidates find a reason to back out

before the debate that donald trump would win the debate 45% thought joe biden would win the debate.e debate did to those expectations. that's when, you know, donald trump did much better than expected. joe biden did worse than expected among this group. and compare this to these two men debating four years ago, that's not always a comparison. we have obviously, the rematch is pretty unique. and so take a look at the complete reversal again, that top blind there's the debate tonight, 67% say trump won, 33% said biden. the next line is the second debate in 2020, where biden one, their by about 14 percentage points, 53, 39 in our instant poll that night. this looks a little bit more like the first debate. chris wallace moderated 66 st joe biden won that debate that night, 28% said donald trump won the debate that night you can see how this night, for a visit, complete reversal of that one and then take a look at this question we ask do you have confidence in the candidates ability to lead the country, confidence and ability to lead the country, 14% said they have a lot of confidence in

you've moderated debates, linsey, you and i have moderated debates. you can go in there as a candidate or a moderator and things change. you can study. i always say it's like studying for a college entrance exam and taking it live in front of 70 million people. things can go wrong. you can know all you can about the pentagon about foreign policy, about anything. but the body language up there, i mean, donald trump was looming over hillary clinton at one of the debates. joe biden was much more aggressive in a debate than i thought he would be. so things are very, very >> david: we feel it at the desk but it's the candidates people at home are studying. jon karl, chief white house correspondent for many years, which donald trump is going to show up? for that matter, which joe biden will show up? >> david, this is the largest audience by far that donald trump will have since he left the white house. what republicans hope, this is an opportunity for him to answer the allegation that he is a threat to democracy, that he is a chaos agent . by being a discip

, i.e. last night's debate and the second, second, and third debates, were better than the first debate, although i still had arguments that candidates should speak more concretely and state their plans more clearly and then say how they want to implement this plan and some generalizations and these people are my complaint and they say that it should be clear and because of me. i think these two debates are the last because some respectable candidates speak more regarding the discussion of subsidies, in fact , now their dealings with energy carriers, and now the discussions that took place in the second debate and last night, well, some related issues. virtually, the discussion of cultural screenings was brought up and these were the examples of the candidates, and people expressed their satisfaction, which can be compared anyway, but it seems that the feedback that my colleagues and i have in our conversations with people all over the country seems to be the same. people's expectations have not yet been met. people thought that they might actually reach a conclusion with the second and

on presidential debates.d an entire universe on how we govern ourselves and behave around debates. from choosing a moderator to choosing candidate behavior and audience behavior. that is formulated and created over the course of 38 years by the u.s. commission on presidential debates. my gripe with the situation and the one that will follow his there is no infrastructural fidelity all participants have to agree to and stick with it. not only is the never any controlling donald trump but now we have removed governmental nonpartisan body who was responsible for creating these debates. there is no universe in which we can protect how candidates will behave or how this will come off now that is has been removed from any type of infrastructural underpinnings. we cannot control donald trump, i do not know what effect the microphones will have but i do know this is completely unwarranted territory removed from the entity that is done for the last two generations. >> susan, you wrote about the way biden should answer

we want to know who you think one the debate. we will show you the -- won the debate. we will show you the results later on. the phone numbers are on the screen. naomi lim joins us. cnn told the hollywood reporter there are over 800 journalists from around the world on-site in atlanta covering this debate. describe the scene where you are in the spin room in the atlanta studio and around the city. >> there is an amazing sense of anticipation. i think reporters are feeling the weight of the moment because this is an unprecedented event, against two candidates that although the public knows very well, have not been seen side-by-side since 2020 and it is a little different than in previous years. in previous years we could go to the debates and get gut checks about how they feel about the candidates and campaigns and issues but this debate is different. it is hosted by cnn, the first time that has happened in almost 40 years. and there is no live audience, just that two moderators, no campaign staff are allowed to intercede even with the commercial breaks so there is a se

this is an unusual debate, we have a president debating a former president. this has never happened in the history of presidential debates, so the public is better informed about both candidates as individuals, knows more about their temperament, habits of thought. and character, but this year, because of the age of both there is a need, even if you think you know a lot about both candidates, to be able to tell whether they are mentally sharp enough and mentally stable enough to be the president of the united states, another non-standard, this year the debates are actually taken care of by news organizations, previously the special commission on presidential debates in the united states was always engaged in conducting, it set the rules in 2020, for example... had an opponent's microphone cut off while one of the speakers was speaking, all because donald trump interrupted joe biden 71 times. by the way, the audience in the studio also often shouted comments, so this year they will be absent. practicing eloquence is one of the main tasks of debate. experts bel

this is an important moment in this debate.oters haven't yet been thinking about november yet and we need to make sure they understand the stakes. the stakes of the selection when it comes to their democracy, to their right to make their own decisions and to building a country where the economy works for every single person and not just the rich like donald trump wants. katrina: joe biden has a very poor and favorability rating though, of what you describe doesn't seem to be landing with supporters. how does he plan to address that tonight? guest: the only. it matters to us is on election day of 2024. we know that our agenda is a winning agenda and when you put it on the ballot box, it wins. donald trump and his extreme agenda of a national abortion ban, of cutting taxes for millionaires, of taking away the affordable care act, it loses. but, look, this will be in close elections. it's about which campaign will put in the work on the ground and earned the support of battleground voters. look at this week alone from joe biden's

are there stand out debates in history of presidential debates? >>-going back to 1960 and drawing some parallels whenour televised general election presidential debates. edy met together in studio. and ways, what was senior in is back to the future. we to have this debate the first one in atlanta. the two candidates themselves with the journalists questioning them. tly what we did in 1960. we can talk a great d of how do we learn from these debates. if you go back and you look at those first debates they are veryflective discussions between the two candidates. none of theatrics the playing f hjeering. i think that removal of the studio is going toeffect on the type of discourse . again, what we had another thing we might point to is from the dynamic, the close race. questions about candidates. so a lot tha we can learn from the history of previous debates. host: aircast is with us to ask them questions about the history of debates and how they might relate to tomorr republicans. (202) 748-8000 fourrats. an independent, (202) 748-8002. mitchell mck

well, unfortunately, we won't hear that at the debate, because you see, i said that this debate is completelyent than between the candidates who ran for the presidency for the first time, it's completely different, here it's very a lot of personal and... and a lot, if i'm honest, lies, there are different ones inaccurate data, to put it mildly, so that accusations are mutual, there are a lot of such statements, that is, what will bring the third world closer, well, i think that the third world, at least in cyberspace, is already on its way, it will already bring it closer, it is already developing , so maybe it's talking about...

debate.ell, it is over and the anchors are saying goodbye in the two men are standing there at their podiums, both of them looking as if they are still very much on camera and still very serious. that very gloomy and presidential look that they are both trying to affect. but, oh my goodness, as they continue to stand at the podium, i think many people in america, in fact, the majority, almost certainly, will watch this debate will be wondering what on earth is going on. they turned to leave, and at that stage, cnn catch to a wider shot as the president and former president trump leaves the stage. they don't go close to each other. joe biden is there, and there are family members with him on the stage. but the whole thing has been the most rambling, peculiar affair. someone in a focus group, quite early on in the course of the debate said it was a choice between the circus or the nursing home. and there has been a feeling among many people watching that, number one, the questions that were ask

before the debate that donald trump would win the debate 45% thought joe biden would win the debate. look at what the debate did to those expectations. that's when, you know, donald trump did much better than expected. joe biden did worse than expected among this group. and

moments in debate history. many of them involving mistakes made under an intense spotlight for more than 60 years. televised presidential debates have provided us with extraordinary, decisive moments, which often changed the tenor of the race. the candidates need to introduction september 1960, in the very first televised presidential debate, richard nixon, who was ill, was visibly sweating compared to his cool and youthful opponent, john f. kennedy, when the two were viewed side-by-side. and you ask yourself, who's finger would you like to be on the nuclear button? it began clearly you didn't want the sweaty guy from california in 1984, ronald reagan than 73-years-old, used humor to definitely deflect concerns about his age in a debate with walter mondale, i am not going to exploit for political purposes my opponent's youth and inexperience the effect was magical and politically devastating for walter mondale most of those defining moments came with no warning or calculation. >> a bad moment in a debate can hu

even if they want to avoid saying they're doing any kind of mock debates or debate prep at all. and i think one of the big things that keeps coming up for some of trump's advisers and allies is that they don't want him to have a redo of 2020, when he came off really aggressive and combative. some of his allies say he needs to stay calm and cool and present a more forward looking vision for the future. it's donald trump. we'll see what happens. >> that's a tall order for him. so what is the thinking there? because we know that president biden is going to be aggressive tonight. he's going to use the phrase "convicted felon." he's going to talk about january 6thch he's likely i am told very early in the night try to pose the question or have the moderators pose the question who won the 2020 election? how is donald trump with an audience watching including a sliver of swing voters both men need in november, how's he going to respond? >> that's a great question, but they are talking to such a small sliver of the electorate and for so many of their supporters the cake seems baked, and

11 weeks between this debate and the second debate. usually you have one or 2 weeks. the impression you leave doesn't linger. in this case it will be three months and i think reporters are not going to give him a pass on asking questions. he has to go beyond yes or no. another debate, specific things on taxes, statistics, the administration versus the biden administration so people can see the substance so i think he will be ready to unroll that in the second debate and say, for example, on inflation, 1.5% when i left office, peaked at 9% a year and a half after the spending binge and things like that, contrast it, biden cannot open his mouth the way he did in that debate. adam: neil: that's me every day. you mentioned the president. a lot of people saying got to swap him out. easier said than done. >> in the pentagon we said amateurs talk strategy, experts talk logistics. neil: it's true, easier said than done. >> the reality is in states like wisconsin and nevada it is almost impossible to take them off the ballot until they die, won

debate. it started early and it continued to advance point van made a very important point these are people who love joe biden who credit joe biden for kicking donald trump out of the why that's your democrats, the democratic party is a very diverse party. it fights about a lot of things it has generational issues, has had regionalisms and everything else. the thing that unites the democratic party is trying to keep donald trump from getting back into the white house. they love joe biden for kicking them out. they don't want him back. they came into this debate nervous the biden was in a weak position. they leave this debate panicked. >> john, if you love the guy, how could you put them out there? i if you love them, if you love joe biden, if that my father you don't put a guy that a great point. these guys, these guys know this better. these guys know dispensed because they talked to them. there's this legacy and the democratic party. do you don't challenge the income? because when it's happ

debates last time around joe biden won all the debates. here's the first debate, winter margins dating back to 2012. look here, mitt romney won by 42 points. hillary clinton, just one by 13. joe biden last time around one by 30 to look at this, this year is the exact inverse of where we were four years ago, donald trump won this debate by 34 points, by a 67 to 33% margin. so the fact of the matter is donald trump's performance last night was the best performance he ever put forth in the american voters minds on a debate stage. or it could be argued that joe biden's debate performance was so bad at that he managed to make donald trump actually look good with that 34 point lead. does this mean can we just go ahead and assume that this is going to give him a bump when it comes to what voters will do history isn't always precedent, but in this particular case paul bump after winning the first debate, look at this joe biden last time around, gotta paul bump, hillary clinton got a paul bump in 2016, mitt romney, after winning the first debate, g

debate mean or does a failed debate equal a failed election? and another debate is planned in september, now we have after this failed debate, let's call a spade a spade, there are many ifs, many ifs, if biden is replaced, if he is replaced with a strong figure, if this strong strong figure without quarrels, without image... will receive a nomination during the convention democrat party in uh august, here's these if, if, if they come together, but it sounds unrealistic from what you're saying, here, then in september this or the surrogate, well the pseudo-surrogate wins over trump, then that will change the situation, uh - eh, as for whether it will be possible for biden to do it all, and i personally, like andriy vasilovskyi, i personally have doubts, uh, i didn’t see, i didn’t see in him, not only physical, but speaking of readiness, here the problem is even worse, he was not strategically misoriented for the debate, he was oriented to remember dozens, if not hundreds, of numbers... numbers of the names of legislation, the number of certain i

prep you have about a week of debate prep under his belt before going into the debate is that a good idea is over preparation. perhaps not a good idea. and what about trump being out on the campaign trail? i suppose he's probably doing some debate prep, but not as much as the president. what do you think well, debate prep is individual to the candidate. >> you need to do what best serves them. and makes them feel like they are the most ready to go into that debate and execute the strategy that you want them to execute. >> both of these men, nita to frame the race. >> neither has really framed up this election in terms of what the issues are they want to run on, why they should be granted. four more years in office and frame the race against the other as well. so i think whatever prep works for your candidate is what you have to do, whether it's with john mccain, we never did any mock debates. button, but we did around the table talk about questions, talk about things that arguments that he wanted to make him the debate. but then with others like george w bush and others, mock debates

to be in this debate. i do think there's a risk here to them anyway obviously people will be looking at the candidates themselves, not just what they say, but how they said, how they are perceived. we're dealing with two aging candidates, of course 78, trump is sunday biden is at one and there'll be a lot of moments over the last several months and they have slipped at times and their opponents have seized upon those moments. watch you know? initially the president of mexico, cc did not want to open up the gates nikki, haley do you know they destroyed all of the information, all of the evidence, everything deleted a destroyed all of it all of it because of lots of things like nikki haley is in charge of security. did you just see maduro? that is where it's unbelievable. >> i mean, so much of it is gonna be about that, right? how they are able to perform beyond the policy debate. >> i mean, i think debates are usually about performance more than they are about substance. and i think that is going to be on s

no mock debates, while still holding public debates. the former president is fund-raising in louisiana after campaigning in pennsylvania over the weekend, mocking his opponent for not leaving camp david. >> he's sleeping now. they want to get him good and strong. >> reporter: trump teasing he's chosen his running mate and said the person will likely attend the debate in atlanta. >> do you know who your vice president is? >> in my mind, yes. nobody knows. >> reporter: among the top debate topics, the economy, immigration and reproductive rights. >> what both candidates need to do is talk about what they're going to do for the american people, how they're going to show up as leaders. >> gabe, biden aides are telling you they're preparing for two versions of mr. trump. explain that. >> reporter: people familiar with debate prep say it's taking into account whether trump will be his usual bombastic self or more disciplined. the campaign wants the

trumpet showing up and he will do this debate because he has been saying, he will debate joe biden any, no matter the weather, no matter the conditions, it could be in the rain or in the studio. joe biden can't do that. it really does show up no matter what the parameters are. katrina: despite what the polls shows, we have -- this time. what we'll do not from time to people that maybe is positive to help h them to for him? guest: he has been doing that the past two years, he has been focused on the forgotten man and woman in america, that have been his focus the entire time. you have to understand, with donald trump, a lot of the criticism is coming from a media-driven narrative, democrats-driven narratives. from the steel dossier to russia, russia, all that stuff proven to be lies and manufactured distraught the american people from the choices in front of them. what you have in this election is very simple, two men have been president, both have track records. who did the better job? without question, it is donald trump. katrina: the choice we have not heard from former president tru

if he thinks he's owning the debate and you're able to see the structure of the debate benefit him. and when i say structure i mean, the mics cutting off, no crowd, et cetera. then there's no way that they're not going to write that cycle out. and so it's going to be he has something in his back pocket in case things go off the rails, blame the moderators, blame the media, and then, oh hail, let's take back the cycle. >> the real struggle for both these candidates is to try to focus the race forward. it's always start or canada whose this old to focus the race forward and the very number one thing trump could do to focus the race forward is to talk about who might be next unless each unless he chooses another 70-year-old white man. well, i wasn't first i want to say thank you for your leadership because i wish there were more people who picked country over party and you're former party republican party. >> but i think that donald trump will to, because his point, he'll pick if things are going off the rails, if he feels like joe biden is given it to him really leaning and talking to

the second debate hosted by abc. now, to further examine the first election debate between joe biden and donald trump, we want to go to washington, dc to meet mr. yousef azizi, an expert. let's discuss american issues, mr. azizi. hello, i hope you are well and have many viewers of your program thank you, mr. azizi. first of all, i would like to ask you what your analysis was about the first debate . who do you think won and why? we need to see from what point of view we are talking. about mr. trump, not only because of his 4 years of age, but it is clear that because of the pressures he has had in his life, some people say that mr. biden had a very long period of responsibility in his life, in any case, his physical ability or problems the health that he has , his physical ability is much weaker than mr. trump it is, but from another point of view, if we want to see about the verification, well, there was also the discussion that maybe mr. trump tells the people several issues in every answer that are false or fake o

it is a successful debate. in my opinion , until the end of the debate, according to the program they have, the performance they want to present, we can choose the best person. 2 billboards and 2 placards and four slogans yes, but here they show themselves much better . when they talk, you have to do something to make them feel better. then they give their name and heart to them. they say no, you came and made my life better, okay, you did something, you fixed something, okay , now i'm talking a little. i am listening to you, the atmosphere in the first debate was a more elite atmosphere , i feel how much they say their goal, what they say what they can do, what score they get in the continuation of the candidates' advertisements. nationally, nearly 20 million people watched the first debate. second debate survey in it will be published in the coming days. let's see these news and more news in today's election news package. as the election time approaches, the market of non-authentic polls is getting hotter . i

but this debate is unique,s.re going right into having questionsa] asked one-minute responses, 90-second rebuttalsd responses. it's going to be pretty rapid fire in terms of answering what are ultimately very vague complex questions that we're trying to solve as a nation. so i think in terms quick 60 seconds, 90 seconds, it's very h out a big vision in 90 seconds or to answer something that's complex in 90 seconds, and then to thorough rebuttal. so it will be interesting to see how the candi have prepared for this in the focus of their responses, but also really how jake and dana are going tose questions. we found that the town hall formats of past years yielded better questions, which those were questions from the audience. those were questions from average americans. i'd love to know if some of these questions would be informed by cnn listeners or c-span viewers and what cross section of american ideas are going to be presented during the debate. host: dana bash and jake tapper are the moderators ofay. bob in o
