When addressing abortion, Biden made a great point that seemed to go unnoticed. Trump celebrated giving the states the right to decide....and Biden rejected that by saying something like, "imagine giving back the states control over civil rights". There are things that are just too important and consequential to be left up to the states.
I always said it's not the united States when every state has different rules. That's why it's so difficult moving to a new state it feels like moving to a new country.

When it’s all said and done we’ve lived through and experienced the policy and decisions of both candidates during their tenures. I don’t see tonight as a determining factor for anything because the policy speaks for itself. Project 2025, The Supreme Court, Appointed Judges, The Economy, Public Education, Health Care, Student Loan Debt, Social Security, Taxes, Police Reform, Housing, Consumer Protections, Reproductive Rights, Public Assistance Programs, The Power of Equity Firms, Insurance Regulation, Climate Change, and Infrastructure are on the ballot. So as awkward as tonight was, I hope folks don’t become too one dimensional in their politics. I didn’t add time stamps because the majority of this live was chat interaction.
I think this solidifies everything people thought about both candidates. Trump is a pathological liar and narcissist and Biden is a doddering, out of touch old man I will look at policy most, like all of the ones you mentioned. Most don’t. Most go on vibes.
Yeah, I don't see this moving the needle much. Sadly, I do think it disillusions more people, rather than fostering the understanding that active engagement on every level is what's actually needed.

@@KD-yh8ggMost Black students do not go to HBCUs , it’s like less than 20% of enrollees and those get bachelors less than 30% got it from an HBCUs. If I had to guess it’s probably for the same reason for me and most of my peers…for financial reasons. Most go to public universities or community college cuz there more scholarships, grants, loans that low income students can access. Reparations will help address this gap and keep education as bread and butter for all Black people and not a privileged few
@@starsinger5935 That's part of it. Resources is another, which is very important if you want degrees in sciences. Only larger, typically non HBCUs can afford the newest technologies.
@starsinger5935 Again, those are false statistics. There are many scholarships, Pell grants, etc available for folks to attend college. HBCUs have had the highest enrollment the last 3 years since the 90's. Not just HBCUs but colleges overall. With the college debt forgiveness program many are not financially burden like in the past. Reparations is narrow mindedness. How much will each person get for education? Who all will get it? While u figure this out, let's get folks an education and reap the benefits of the billions of dollars this Administration has given to HBCUs.
I was disappointed the moment I heard the way Biden was speaking. I knew from that early on, the debate was over. I considered it fortunate the power went off and stayed off for the entire night.
It has been about the supporting team for me from the jump. The current president's team needs to step up their game; because they have been making him look bad for some time now; which in turn makes them look bad.
Hi and thank you . I just tapped back in . I was thinking this would be the year I didn’t vote. I believe I have actually voted ever since I was at least 19 or 20. Let me just say I’m way past 20.😁
Keep hope alive, keep hope alive, keep hope alive! Five minutes in??? I knew from the moment he walked out dragging to the podium, I knew it was over. I was just praying he didn't walk up to the wrong damn podium, cuz it woulda really been over. OMG!!! My head is still swinging.
Dr. Cornell West is the one to vote for. Search some of his interviews and see what I, talking about. The powers that be don’t want another black man with integrity to hold office and be a thorn in their sides so he won’t get much media coverage so his popularity will have to spread thru social media.
@@nunnayorz5836 We shouldn’t elect candidates based on campaigns but rather substance. Besides, he’s not getting the media coverage, most likely due to being a threat to the status quo.
Kyle Clark!!!!!!!!!! He is the moderator from Colorado and I said the same thing! "Calling Kyle Clark!" Sunny Hostin on The View was saying that Democrats being worried about Joe Biden is not what we should talking about but more so we should be talking about the Republicans putting up a convicted felon, sexual assaulter and multi indicted individual as their candidate. I mean really folks, where are we? We are living in that movie, "Idiocracy" for sure.
I like the president, but he does that often,coughing but never wetting his throat. Maybe he dislikes water a lot of people do. Saying that he's still my president. Vote Blue.😅
I feel bad for Biden because he has a stuttering challenge and people associate Biden’s challenge with not mental capable of handling the job. I appreciate the debates when we had debates.
They didn't want competition. Trump and Biden's campaigns skipped the usual process to setup this debate under the terms They wanted. Neither of them wants to actually debate. They can't.
A man who allocated $7.5 billion to HBCUs and forgave billions in student loan debt. A man faithfully served as Barack Obama's dedicated wing man for eight years. If you think one performance is scary, read Project 2025, which wants to turn us into Gilead or a Christian theocracy.
The Democratic Party wants this just like the the Republicans want Trump. That's why they barely even pretended to allow primaries. That's why they're debating before being nominated by their parties. This is the reason we can't have nice things.
Juiced him up? 😂😂😂 Right! Last time I only watched one of those debates, but this time I tuned in and instantly regretted it. Even with the muted mics, Trump STILL dominated the conversation and steered it. I would’ve quickly addressed a few lies, then answered the moderators questions. Joe’s facial expressions had me cracking up! I bailed and probably won’t watch the next one, I’ll just watch the highlights.
I literally started watching the debate. I had to turn it off and go on a 6 mile walk, showered and went to bed and I’m on the east coast… what do the kids say? Wer’e cooked???
Why no question to them about “Reparations”? I would have loved to hear what their answers would have been. That would have said a lot as to their thinking, and it would tell how much/less they care. P. S. Almost everything is denied us Blacks, but in the end when it is all said and done. We are his chosen & God will revenge his/our enemies for all they have done to us good or bad.
As whatever as Joe may be, I'm nor concerned with him trying to overthrow the government. That's why I don't understand the attempts at apples to apples comparison. It just isn't there. Respectfully Calvin, with how orange man moves they may not have a new candidate in 2028 depending on how 2024 goes
Regarding saying Thank You. It’s about time to say thank you to the black ancestors that helped make America wealthy and safe. Maybe that person can start with the thanks, after an apology for ancestors that brought many of those here against their will. Not to mention acting like they’ve done them all a big favor by honoring The Constitution. It’s called doing the right thing,
Nothing changed from this. It's not a moderated debate if the moderators are just there to keep the clock. Letting them say whatever they want without any push back...then moving on to the next question could have been done by my computer. I'm with ya...the dude from Colorado needed to be the moderator.. LOL
I agree with u 100% that debate didn't move anyone if ur for Trump then u will maybe stay with him same for Biden. What upset me regarding Biden he should have used this opportunity to shout out what has been done through his administration. He did on a few but he let Trump distract him. I would have liked him to be more assertive one what he has done for blacks nd all. True a for policy Biden spoke and he did say there is more to do. Trump answered nothing nd the moderators didn't hold his feet to the fire. Yes, Kyle would have nailed it. Trump even took a line that was directed to his watch saying he left Biden a good economy all he had to do... WTF that's what Obama did for u nd u f__ it up. Biden should have pointed out strongly how he messed up the pandemic many people died under his watch. Biden called him a felon but he should have added or thrown in every change he got. Oh nd Trump nvr knew what Qui Pro Quo was until he was impeached then he tried to use it on Biden. Laughable. He is something else. More states should be allowed to decide who goes on the ballot based on the laws of that state maybe that's how u weed out Trump less ballots less votes.
Huh? Dude, biden did worse and allowed millions of illegals in this country while almost starting World War 3. In fact, even when it came to covid, it wasn't even that bad. And locking down a whole country were dumb as hell.
I am far from surprised that this is how it turned out and Biden Admin is beyond remedial for putting Joe up there. Joe should be doing townhalls and directly addressing the concerns of constituents. I started watching the debate on Robert Reich's stream, then I closed it and said I'll just wait for Calvin lol
I'll either vote for a 3rd party candidate or I won't vote at all. My advice vote for a 3rd party candidate or vote ballot initiatives and vote for local levels.
I understand your frustration, but voting for the couch is not an option. Watch Calvin's video about Trump's Project 2025. Project 2025 is basically Trump's plan to put black people back in Jim Crow 2.0 and back in his idea of black jobs (sharecropping). Project 2025 also includes treaties with Central American and African countries to deport 25 million people including American citizens. Your only choice is to vote blue. Project 2025 will kill the Civil Rights Act, so no service at restaurants, hotels, public spaces of black people just like Jim Crow.
And Trump looks like a deranged troll doll. Biden has done a lot for the community, Trump will re-enslave the community. Picking crops is what Trump meant by black jobs. Vote blue.
@ListenUpDemocracy -1 vote for Biden doesn't = +1 for Trump. That's not how numbers work. If Biden loses a vote he just has one less vote. Don't let these condescending liberals try to fearmonger you. Vote for whoever you think best represents you. Tell the vote blue crowd to fuck off along with the MAGAts.
@@CHEETAH69 I think the Democrats have to be combatitive and defiant in their support for Joe Biden. A very old Joe Biden is still the best candidate for the USA.
Ok, this is patently untrue. Biden has actually done much better than expected. One example is lowing the cost of Insulin. THAT was huge! There are many more examples so let's not pretend he has done nothing.
@@neotheboxer6015Nooe that was the democrats doing very little and expecting praise like they did a lot. Biden negotiated a few drug prices. Ok why not all of them? Sick people out there need more than insulin but of course Biden and his party don't want sweeping change, so they try to get praise for occasionally doing the bare minimum. And then they string people along with hope. They say if you keep voting blue and hoping, then maybe you might get another thing, eventually. It's bullshit
I'm still in shaken from this display😮. Biden could barely string together a coherent sentence. There have been a few events in my life that I wish i could unsee or forget and this is one of them.
So disappointed!! Based in QLD Australia. Watched the debate at 11 am, turned it off at 11:20. So disappointed at Biden, no energy or rebuttals (that's a lie is not a rebuttal).

Actually most of us do and have gone to HBCUs. Reparations will be nice bit education is our bread and butter. Think bigger.
@@KD-yh8ggMost Black students do not go to HBCUs , it’s like less than 20% of enrollees and those get bachelors less than 30% got it from an HBCUs. If I had to guess it’s probably for the same reason for me and most of my peers…for financial reasons. Most go to public universities or community college cuz there more scholarships, grants, loans that low income students can access. Reparations will help address this gap and keep education as bread and butter for all Black people and not a privileged few
@@starsinger5935 That's part of it. Resources is another, which is very important if you want degrees in sciences. Only larger, typically non HBCUs can afford the newest technologies.
@starsinger5935 Again, those are false statistics. There are many scholarships, Pell grants, etc available for folks to attend college. HBCUs have had the highest enrollment the last 3 years since the 90's. Not just HBCUs but colleges overall. With the college debt forgiveness program many are not financially burden like in the past. Reparations is narrow mindedness. How much will each person get for education? Who all will get it? While u figure this out, let's get folks an education and reap the benefits of the billions of dollars this Administration has given to HBCUs.
I didn’t watch the debate. I can barely listen to either of them speak for two minutes.
So how does a STATE have the right tondecide but a PERSON does not. Its like, your body isn't your own.
I was disappointed the moment I heard the way Biden was speaking. I knew from that early on, the debate was over. I considered it fortunate the power went off and stayed off for the entire night.
Wes Moore for President. Wish we could start a write in campaign.
Replay gang!!!💙💙💙
Great live great commentary as always Calvin!!!
I love content like this but Lord does it make me depressed
It has been about the supporting team for me from the jump. The current president's team needs to step up their game; because they have been making him look bad for some time now; which in turn makes them look bad.
Agreed, but I believe CNN set up Joe. They did him dirty and we need to boycott CNN. They helped Trump win in 2016 and are trying do the same in 2024.
Hi and thank you . I just tapped back in . I was thinking this would be the year I didn’t vote. I believe I have actually voted ever since I was at least 19 or 20. Let me just say I’m way past 20.😁
Glad I didn't waste my time watching that mess.
Keep hope alive, keep hope alive, keep hope alive! Five minutes in??? I knew from the moment he walked out dragging to the podium, I knew it was over. I was just praying he didn't walk up to the wrong damn podium, cuz it woulda really been over.
OMG!!! My head is still swinging.
My choices are the psychopath or the old guy. I am voting for the old guy because you can’t fix crazy. At least Joe has a plan and a great team.
I forgot to watch it. I was planning on watching it. But I am classified as a double hater = I do not like neither one to vote for one or the other.🙌🏾
Dr. Cornell West is the one to vote for. Search some of his interviews and see what I, talking about. The powers that be don’t want another black man with integrity to hold office and be a thorn in their sides so he won’t get much media coverage so his popularity will have to spread thru social media.
@@spocktiberius2456Stop. West ran a terrible campaign and he only got on the ballot in 3 states. That's 3. Out of 50. He's not serious so let it go.
@@nunnayorz5836
We shouldn’t elect candidates based on campaigns but rather substance. Besides, he’s not getting the media coverage, most likely due to being a threat to the status quo.
Kyle Clark!!!!!!!!!! He is the moderator from Colorado and I said the same thing! "Calling Kyle Clark!" Sunny Hostin on The View was saying that Democrats being worried about Joe Biden is not what we should talking about but more so we should be talking about the Republicans putting up a convicted felon, sexual assaulter and multi indicted individual as their candidate. I mean really folks, where are we? We are living in that movie, "Idiocracy" for sure.
I was @ a school board meeting, the few minutes I watched, saw Grandpa hanging on & the convicted felon mean mugging as always.
Why didn't Biden ask for a glass of water?
I like the president, but he does that often,coughing but never wetting his throat. Maybe he dislikes water a lot of people do. Saying that he's still my president. Vote Blue.😅
Because water doesn't clear up dementia.🙄😒
Make Michelle your designated survivor, DNC 😀
I feel bad for Biden because he has a stuttering challenge and people associate Biden’s challenge with not mental capable of handling the job. I appreciate the debates when we had debates.
No, that man is to old
That poor man has a COLD you can hear it
@@NoFreedoms-f1d Trump is 78 and Biden is 81 they are both old. Guess what most of the government is old White men.
@@NoFreedoms-f1d Both men are old! A 78 year old and 81 year old.
@@flowersforme375 bro, the man can't remember if he is the president or not. Trump is more mentally fit than Biden.
I agree with Calvin. He should not have debated 😳
They ahould have everyone who is running for president on that stage even the ones who are from independent parties
I believe they could if they qualify.
I agree, but a third party in this election will help Trump and Project 2025 win.
They didn't want competition. Trump and Biden's campaigns skipped the usual process to setup this debate under the terms They wanted. Neither of them wants to actually debate. They can't.
Exactly! It's about judges, 2025, China, Russia and the environment.
Who is running our country? This is scary.
It will be more scary if you vote for the 34 felony Trump. WTF! Biden has been doing better than Trump’s ass!
It wouldn't be Biden or Trump, so voting based on them aesthetically or based off of a performance is foolish.
The same group that have been running it.
It definitely will remain that way.
A man who allocated $7.5 billion to HBCUs and forgave billions in student loan debt. A man faithfully served as Barack Obama's dedicated wing man for eight years. If you think one performance is scary, read Project 2025, which wants to turn us into Gilead or a Christian theocracy.
Bro I swear you're a Truth Teller. It's rare I call anyone a Truth Teller
Biden was out there glitching like Max Headrom.
Yep. And Trump took the opportunity to lie while he was at it
Is it too late?...the senator from RI seems electable.
It's giving shades of RBG, not knowing when to step aside.
The Democratic Party wants this just like the the Republicans want Trump. That's why they barely even pretended to allow primaries. That's why they're debating before being nominated by their parties. This is the reason we can't have nice things.
Juiced him up? 😂😂😂 Right! Last time I only watched one of those debates, but this time I tuned in and instantly regretted it. Even with the muted mics, Trump STILL dominated the conversation and steered it. I would’ve quickly addressed a few lies, then answered the moderators questions. Joe’s facial expressions had me cracking up! I bailed and probably won’t watch the next one, I’ll just watch the highlights.
I literally started watching the debate. I had to turn it off and go on a 6 mile walk, showered and went to bed and I’m on the east coast… what do the kids say? Wer’e cooked???
Why no question to them about “Reparations”? I would have loved to hear what their answers would have been. That would have said a lot as to their thinking, and it would tell how much/less they care. P. S. Almost everything is denied us Blacks, but in the end when it is all said and done. We are his chosen & God will revenge his/our enemies for all they have done to us good or bad.
Its a waste of resources. You spend all the budget to simply send somewhere else down the line
It might come down to the (formerly apportioned using 3/5ths compromise math) electoral college.
As whatever as Joe may be, I'm nor concerned with him trying to overthrow the government. That's why I don't understand the attempts at apples to apples comparison. It just isn't there. Respectfully Calvin, with how orange man moves they may not have a new candidate in 2028 depending on how 2024 goes
I was waiting for this 😂😂❤
You are exceptional. Just exceptional
That! He is!
I turned it the first 3 minutes in when I realized I was watching, bad and worse.
Regarding saying Thank You. It’s about time to say thank you to the black ancestors that helped make America wealthy and safe.
Maybe that person can start with the thanks, after an apology for ancestors that brought many of those here against their will. Not to mention acting like they’ve done them all a big favor by honoring The Constitution.
It’s called doing the right thing,
That look on Biden's face, when Trump made that super predator comment.
Was it different from the blank stare all those times his brain was buffering?
@@nunnayorz5836 the abject fear. 😂
I choked on my food!!!😂😂😂
Thinking long term like the GOP! 😖
Oh yes slavery would be voted YES with the quickness (53:38)
Nothing changed from this. It's not a moderated debate if the moderators are just there to keep the clock. Letting them say whatever they want without any push back...then moving on to the next question could have been done by my computer. I'm with ya...the dude from Colorado needed to be the moderator.. LOL
I agree with u 100% that debate didn't move anyone if ur for Trump then u will maybe stay with him same for Biden. What upset me regarding Biden he should have used this opportunity to shout out what has been done through his administration. He did on a few but he let Trump distract him. I would have liked him to be more assertive one what he has done for blacks nd all. True a for policy Biden spoke and he did say there is more to do. Trump answered nothing nd the moderators didn't hold his feet to the fire. Yes, Kyle would have nailed it. Trump even took a line that was directed to his watch saying he left Biden a good economy all he had to do... WTF that's what Obama did for u nd u f__ it up. Biden should have pointed out strongly how he messed up the pandemic many people died under his watch. Biden called him a felon but he should have added or thrown in every change he got.
Oh nd Trump nvr knew what Qui Pro Quo was until he was impeached then he tried to use it on Biden. Laughable. He is something else. More states should be allowed to decide who goes on the ballot based on the laws of that state maybe that's how u weed out Trump less ballots less votes.
Huh? Dude, biden did worse and allowed millions of illegals in this country while almost starting World War 3. In fact, even when it came to covid, it wasn't even that bad. And locking down a whole country were dumb as hell.
I DONT CARE I'M VOTING FOR BIDEN .
So you voting for the walking racist corps?
Right that’s the best we gon get.
Lesser of two evils is still evil.
People like you are what has us stuck with these two idiots. Thanks.
@@nunnayorz5836and one isn’t even evil. Just old as ass.
What are black jobs?
Really
A job that anybody can do, cause trump thinks very little of us as a collective.
@@michaelpratt1295 🎯
Picking fruits and other agriculture.
I want to see Harris debate Trump. She'd annihilate him.
Lower these prices.
I am far from surprised that this is how it turned out and Biden Admin is beyond remedial for putting Joe up there. Joe should be doing townhalls and directly addressing the concerns of constituents. I started watching the debate on Robert Reich's stream, then I closed it and said I'll just wait for Calvin lol
No, Joe needs to be in memory care.
Wasted time. He needs to go HOME.
🤔 What did we watch ?
You watched EXACTLY what you have begged for.
The Crazy vs The Corpse! 📺
Ain’t nobody beg for that. 😂
Exactly....it was an absolute mess. Neither one of them are getting my vote.😒
I'll either vote for a 3rd party candidate or I won't vote at all. My advice vote for a 3rd party candidate or vote ballot initiatives and vote for local levels.
I voting for the couch 🛋️ it was a hot mess
Well, at least someone got some sense!🛋
Can’t do that. Biden has a full cabinet behind him he’s just the figure head. Read up on project 2025, don’t be apart of it becoming a reality.
I understand your frustration, but voting for the couch is not an option. Watch Calvin's video about Trump's Project 2025. Project 2025 is basically Trump's plan to put black people back in Jim Crow 2.0 and back in his idea of black jobs (sharecropping). Project 2025 also includes treaties with Central American and African countries to deport 25 million people including American citizens. Your only choice is to vote blue. Project 2025 will kill the Civil Rights Act, so no service at restaurants, hotels, public spaces of black people just like Jim Crow.
Same. There is not a candidate to vote for. Both are evil.
Bid3n looked like a talking corpse.
That's cruel. Try doing what Biden's been dealing with lately and then debating in a format to accommodate a low life criminal.
You would too if you had a cold
And Trump looks like a deranged troll doll. Biden has done a lot for the community, Trump will re-enslave the community. Picking crops is what Trump meant by black jobs. Vote blue.
There are others who are running also.
That is a vote for Trump. RFKJr is also old or 70. Trump's Project 2025 is a plan to put us back in Jim Crow.
@ListenUpDemocracy -1 vote for Biden doesn't = +1 for Trump. That's not how numbers work. If Biden loses a vote he just has one less vote.
Don't let these condescending liberals try to fearmonger you. Vote for whoever you think best represents you. Tell the vote blue crowd to fuck off along with the MAGAts.
Yeah, "Black jobs." 😂
Who in the Democratic larty can spin this disaster into a positive?
Just keep an eye on MSNBC, CNN, NYT, and so on. The propaganda machine will definitely try to spin this.
No one is. It was bad. But what can we do? Trump still isn’t an option.
@@CHEETAH69 I think the Democrats have to be combatitive and defiant in their support for Joe Biden. A very old Joe Biden is still the best candidate for the USA.
It’s about policy. Trump lied…and lied. I’m voting for Biden.
Ok? Cuz I thought it was just me!
I literally don't know what I watched. Trump couldn't stay on topic & Joe...the lights were on, but no one was home. 🤦🏿♂️💯
They both suck neither one of them are going to do anything for us the people that will really make a difference it's that simple
I'd give you more thumbs up if I could
Ok, this is patently untrue. Biden has actually done much better than expected. One example is lowing the cost of Insulin. THAT was huge! There are many more examples so let's not pretend he has done nothing.
Better than the one pushing illegals that are anti black.
@@neotheboxer6015Nooe that was the democrats doing very little and expecting praise like they did a lot. Biden negotiated a few drug prices. Ok why not all of them? Sick people out there need more than insulin but of course Biden and his party don't want sweeping change, so they try to get praise for occasionally doing the bare minimum. And then they string people along with hope. They say if you keep voting blue and hoping, then maybe you might get another thing, eventually. It's bullshit
I'm still in shaken from this display😮. Biden could barely string together a coherent sentence. There have been a few events in my life that I wish i could unsee or forget and this is one of them.
I could not watch. Im on replay commentary
So disappointed!! Based in QLD Australia. Watched the debate at 11 am, turned it off at 11:20. So disappointed at Biden, no energy or rebuttals (that's a lie is not a rebuttal). That's and hearing about Bowman losing gas really soured my day. All I need is Englabd to lose in the football (soccer for you Americans) and my June will be ruined!
Thanks for reminding me how bad the Orange man is .
Didn't watch it, but the "highlights" were rough.
Chaaaaaal
