TRANSCRIPT
 I think Harris pushed just about every button Trump has and it was like she was the puppet master behind the scenes, making him dance in ways that were bad for him and good for her. She got him talking about a lot of crazy conspiracy theories and wild assertions and outright lies and all of the stuff that he's very vulnerable on.
She just inspired him to just go right ahead and start talking about it. And she really turned in a great performance. She's a very good debater. Anyone who remembers the way she handled Joe Biden, I think it was actually 2019 in the primaries when she made him look almost as bad as she made Trump look. She's a very tough debater.
