NYT Journalist: Trump is VERY Serious About Next Week’s Presidential Debate

The Rich Zeoli Show

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 1:

3:05pm- During a CNN panel discussion, host Dana Bash suggested she is hesitant to play videos of Joe Biden for fear that snippets of the content will be used to portray the president as old and feeble. Earlier this week, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean Pierre baselessly claimed that Republicans were using “cheap fakes” to make President Biden look bad. But, as Rich notes, the videos are not fake, and no one is making them look any worse than they otherwise would be—Biden is making himself look bad all on his own.

3:30pm- During last week’s G7 meeting in Italy, a video went viral when Italian Prime Minister Georgia Meloni appeared to corral President Joe Biden who—at that moment—was staring into the woods. Biden’s campaign team has argued that the video is a “cheap fake,” and that the zoomed in version of the original video fails to display a paratrooper Biden was speaking with. However, as Matt explains, the original version of the video may be even more damning than the “cheap fake!”

3:40pm- Speaking with Anderson Cooper on CNN, New York Times journalist Maggie Haberman revealed that Donald Trump is taking next week’s presidential debate very seriously, working tirelessly to prepare for it.

3:45pm- While appearing on MSNBC, former Meet the Press host Chuck Todd told Katy Tur that Donald Trump appears to be getting his 2016 “swagger” back—which could be bad news for Joe Biden in the 2024 election.
