DEBATE: Did Trump Win? | Guest: Sydney Watson | Ep 97
Who won the final presidential debate? It depends on where you go for news. CNN obviously says Biden won, but actor James Wood says Trump took home the prize. The problem with deciding who won a debate depends on the echo chambers you are in. A recent poll from Pew Research says that while news comes from Twitter, almost 69% of major Twitter users are Democrats, so obviously the public conversation is always going to be in favor of Biden. But we have to be fair, so we are looking at the strongest and weakest moments of both candidates and the saddest responses on Twitter. ________________________________________________________________ ⇩ TODAY'S SPONSORS ⇩ BLACK RIFLE COFFEE: Wake up to America’s coffee by going to https://BlackRifleCoffee.com/OFFENSIVE.

Welcome back to Slightly Offensive, the best, worst show on Blaze TV.
I think we have confetti that's supposed to come down right there.
Yep, there it is.
Looking really good.
This is your favorite host, me, Elijah Schaefer, and we have a serious question that we're asking today.
Who actually won the debate?
Fox News even brought that up.
Trump and Biden both showed down on the stage, and it's polarizing not only Twitter, but believe it or not, there's more to the world than just that online website.
To help me answer that question today, I have a guest on the show, Sidney L. Watson.
Well, you're not the only person who's been, you know, I have bad words for that.
We're going to talk about a lot of craziness today, including the fact that we realized that most verified users on Twitter have mental IQs of a four-year-old.
On top of that, we're going to look at Trump and Biden's strongest and weakest moments.
We're going to try to be fair here to really look at this accurately on who performed better.
Because if you see this down here on this Fox News article, what's really important is it says that once Trump and Biden got their hit strides, most people felt strongly about their preferred candidate.
Conservative actor James Wood declared Trump the clear winner, as did most of the president supporters.
But then liberal actress turned activist Alyssa Milana was among the Biden supporters who had a completely different takeaway than Woods.
Liberal CNN audience preferred Biden, while the NRA declared Trump the winner.
MSNBC's anti-Trump morning Joe namesake Joe Scarborough said most people thought the debate was a wash.
And because even Fox News, which you would expect to be biased towards Trump, says that pretty much nobody can decide who the winner is, we're going to try to decide that on today's show.
Well, I mean, I suppose that I understand why people have, I mean, look, if you support the president more often than not, more likely than not, you're going to walk away thinking that he did really well.
And I personally think he did perform really well.
I think most of us can agree that while we do enjoy a feisty Trump, he was pretty cool, calm, and collected last night.
And I think that's what's, you know, important.
And that was enjoyable to watch.
But by the same token, I think there's a real personability and likability with Biden that a lot of people probably resonate with, especially, you know, people like Alyssa Milano, who, I mean, she's going to defend him down to the ground no matter what happens.
We've already seen that.
She'll defend him no matter what he does.
I don't think that she's an accurate representation of his base.
But, you know, I think that a lot of people like the fact that Biden is, you know, he comes across kind of sweet, whereas, you know, Trump comes across, you know, like someone who might rip your face off.

I'm just going to leave it like that.
Anyway, let's go ahead and let's jump right into this.
We don't even know if he was there, but let's just get into this.
He's really not the only person who declared Trump stupid because he they thought that coyotes, Trump was talking about physical coyotes.
Look at the, look at the amount of screenshots we were able to capture here.
Look at some of these.
These are all verified users.
These are verified users.
Let's keep going through this.
People are saying, coyotes, what does children brought here by coyotes mean?
Everyone's asking, did Trump just say that children were brought to the border by coyotes?
I mean, these are dozens and dozens.
In fact, I believe there were close to 100 verified accounts that thought that they got Trump by thinking that Trump was so stupid that he had an opinion on this.
I mean, if you were like, to be fair, most of these verified Twitter people will work in media and will work in politics theoretically, you know, besides like the celebrities and things.
And most of us who have talked about the illegal immigrant debate know what coyotes are.
unidentified
Like, you have to know that if you work in this space.
And in fact, that's what my favorite one was from Darshun Kendrick.
Was Darshan?
Was Darshan?
Is that a politician?
I think so.
I think that was a politician said, did real Donald Trump just say 545 kids they can't find their parents for came over through cartels and coyotes?
How the hell does a coyote bring a whole human across the border?
Lord, stop talking.
So I'm going to bring up this point here.
When we talk about who won the debate, this is why it's really hard to trust Twitter.
Right.
Because when you talk about, like, imagine you live in this hole and you're in this echo chamber, people that don't know about that, there's algorithms and you only see posts that agree with your worldview.
There are millions potentially of Americans today that now believe that Trump famously said that the animal coyotes bring over little Mexicans.
Can we bring that back on the screen?
Bring them over.
And so then in their mind, they're going to think, well, obviously Trump lost the debate because Trump's an absolute blathering idiot.
I don't, again, I don't understand how journalists in particular, because let's be real, that's the name of traffickers are people who do this human trafficking.
I don't know even what to call it, but people who facilitate people getting over the border illegally.
That's what they're called.
You can't work in media and be like a legitimate human being and a legitimate journalist and not know that.
Like there's a problem with people misconstruing. this information.
It's very clear that Trump is talking about people who traffic other people.
No, I just go to trending sometimes when I'm like, what do I make a video about?
And I see what's trending.
Or if I'm trying to like determine, you know, what people are interested in, what's what's actually what people are tweeting about usually is a really good indicator.
So it's actually really strange when you think about that sets the narrative for the news week.
When you're on Twitter, the people like I follow a lot of left-wing accounts.
I'm sure that you do the exact same because I feel like when you follow them, you get a better sense of what the other side actually thinks rather than just making it up.
And I feel like that's what the left do a lot with us.
They assume what we think rather than actually engaging with us.
So it's, that doesn't shock me at all that the majority of the, you know, the prolific tweeters are Democrats.
It says, most U.S. adults on Twitter post only rarely, but a small share of highly active users, most of whom are Democrats, produce the vast majority of tweets.
The center's analysis found that just 10% of users produced 92% of all tweets from U.S. adults since last November, and that 69% of these highly prolific users identify as Democrats or Democratic-leaning independents.
A number of factors contribute to this phenomenon.
Previous Twitter analysis by the center have found that platform contains a large share of Democrats, a larger share of Democrats than Republicans.
And in addition to being more prevalent on the site in general, the 10% most active Democrats typically produce roughly twice as many tweets in a month as the 10% most active Republicans.
But let's be, but like if we're talking about this seriously, then we have to take into consideration the fact that people, conservatives, I would say, probably don't have the time or Republicans probably don't have the time to be on Twitter because they have jobs.
And then the other thing too is that the censorship that goes on, and I know that, you know, people might scoff at that and think it's ridiculous, but the fact of the matter is that a lot of right-wing users, their ideas do not get out there, even if they are people that are actually tweeting every day.
And I, you know, you meet up people all the time who go, oh, I like, I've got Twitter.
And I think that that's where we get confused too, because people go, well, how do we know what to believe?
And that's when you see like, oh, polls and studies.
It's like, you see how dishonest polls can even be because they go from their Twitter poll in CNN, it goes, well, I mean, hey, we won the Twitter poll because so Biden won.
And you go, well, 70% of the most active people who would have shared it are Democrats.
And you go, it's because you guys are perpetrating a network of false information that is not based on science, but it's based on what your algorithms in your echo chamber are producing.
I think the other thing, too, like I look at people like James Woods, for example, who's obviously massive on Twitter.
I don't think I know of a single massive Democratic user that's been banned in the way that, you know, for instance, James Woods was offline for ages because he got banned off of Twitter.
And he's someone who obviously I think he sets a bit of a narrative in terms of what conservatives and what Republicans and things are sharing.
Just him, for example.
Think about how many of him there are, how many people like him who are just constantly banned off of the platform.
So, yes, you're right in the sense that I always think about Project Veritas, for example.
Now, whether or not people like what they produce or think that they're good journalists, I think they do an excellent job of exposing some of the nastiness and the horribleness that goes on in these major networks and things.
But Project Veritas, for example, their stuff will actually be trending where they'll have thousands upon thousands upon thousands of retweets and hashtags and things relating to the information that they found.
And it never shows up in the trending page.
It never shows up.
So if you really think about it logically, if you have, you know, and that's just one example, if you have people like Project Veritas or you know, organization like Project Veritas actually setting a narrative, having people take interest in what they're doing, and it still doesn't show up on the trending page, then how accurate is that information?
But before we get into that, I want to remind you that, you know, that's why it's so important to remember that information can be controlled and can be manipulated by other people, including your online account information.
That's why I want to tell you about an incredible thing that I use on all my devices, on my phone, on my computer, and it's called a VPN.
And if you don't know what a VPN is, or you like to call it a VIPIN, a VIPIN?
So right now, if you go to expressvpn.com/slash offensive, with just a few clicks, you can protect every single device that you have from anybody who wants to steal your information, including your provider, your internet provider.
Now, what's important is sometimes people take your information, they sell it to other companies.
You don't know how they're using it.
It can be sold to foreign countries.
It can be manipulated.
And that's why it's so important that you continue to not only have home security or that you might own a weapon or whatever you do, you know, lock on your car, lock your devices as well, and make sure that you are getting the best protection out there.
Anyway, go to expressvpn.com/slash offensive right now to find out how you can get three months free of a year subscription.
So we're going to jump right into the clips now, and we're going to really talk about these specifically by looking at Biden's weakest moment, which then turns into Trump's strongest moment, and then Trump's weakest moment and Biden's strongest moment.
Let's start.
Let's roll as Biden.
I think his weakest moment is where he diverted from China to them talking to families.
I mean, the thing about it is people need to remember that Biden has been in a position of political authority, power, whatever you want to call it, for, you know, like nearly 50 years.
That's a long time.
So of course he's just going to, I reckon in most cases, give an answer like that because that's what he's been trained to do.
The fact is that he didn't have an actual response to this conversation about China, which is why he deflected.
Trump, on the other hand, and I think this is, I really liked what he said here.
I love the fact that he called Biden out.
Not because I support Trump or and because I don't support Biden.
That's not it.
I just like the fact that he actually said for once, and I like it when this happens.
I like when politicians get called out for the nonsense that they say.
They're trying to have a serious conversation about an actual issue because the Democrats and the left love to go on about Russia and China and blah.
And when you finally actually sit down and start having a proper conversation about it, if it doesn't suit their narrative, where that the direction that that conversation is going, they'll try to deflect.
The fact that he called it out, I think, was honestly so cathartic to watch a politician basically tell another politician to basically sit down and shut up, so to speak, because what he was saying was nonsense.
Yes, it is about families, yes.
But this is not the conversation that we're having.
You know, I don't remind you guys too, like, you know, the idea of these politicians, these people controlling everything, just remember to hit the button and subscribe to this channel and to really hit the bell.
Please, I mean, I'm telling you, we have so much going against us.
Like, just like Joe Biden completely ignored the answer to the question.
He ignores the fact that his son is caught in a scandal, that he's caught in a scandal.
The media backs them up.
We get hit really hard online.
And, you know, people just get unsubscribed from this channel every day.
We get dozens of people telling us 10th time, ninth time they've gotten unsubscribed.
So make sure you click that.
But so I think Trump was really strong there.
I think he came out strong.
I hate when like the Blaze even or Fox News is like, you know, you know, Dan Bongino's just like Trump won.
I think, yeah, look, I, when this was, when this was happening, I didn't quite connect with it.
Watching it back, it's, it's, it's dicey.
Um, however, I do understand why he said it.
I'm not defending his words.
I just get why he said it.
And when you are talking in the moment, sometimes you just, you're just not as precise as you want to be.
But I think his thing is because people have attacked him since the get-go for being racist, for these, you know, and Biden perfectly exemplified why, you know, for these, these comments that are taken out of context or misconstrued in a way that's not quite 100% what he said.
And also, you know, context matters.
It really does matter.
So this poor person, this poor man, I mean, and maybe that's not fair, but he's poor boys.
He gets confused and then he says things that are just nonsensical.
And then we rip it apart because we go, who is this person that could potentially be the leader of this country, one of the most powerful countries in the world?
Why on earth are we putting this person in this position where, and he's exemplifying what he would be like in any other context.
People forget that they're like, oh, you know, Trump is being so mean.
Trump is coming down hard on this person, yada, yada.
But at the end of the day, what's it going to be like when Biden steps into a conversation or a public, you know, filmed discussion argument, whatever with Russia, with a Russian leader, with a Chinese leader, with North Korea?
Like we have to put pressure on him and you see how confused he gets and honestly, like a really not threatening situation.
How's he going to perform when it comes to actual serious discussions?
And Amber Athey said, Biden telling Americans that they're going to wake up tomorrow and missing a family member is ridiculous, irresponsible, fear-mongering, and directly contributes to the massive deaths of despair throughout the country.
And I'm telling you, that's the message I got from Biden, where I feel like that's where he really was coming in overall the weakness where he was saying, we have the dark winter coming.
COVID, a dark winter.
Americans, he points in there.
Someone's next to you is probably dead or they're dying or they're going to die real soon.
And I'm like, holy what?
Like, and you're looking around and you're like, looking at, I did have empty spots on my, on my couch last night.
You were there.
There were empty spots.
Like, who died?
Like, what is this?
What have I missed?
And it's like, it's so discouraging and dark.
And, you know, he says, he says, he says, I'm going to like, look at this.
I think there's somebody else that said right here, Sean Davis said, Biden's message tonight at the debate was pretty simple.
He'll lock down the entire country, raise taxes, and destroy the U.S. energy industry, which he, I'm just saying, his message was about destruction, destroy, take down a dark corner.
It's sad.
People are dying.
And you go, that is a different version of America than Trump.
And that's where, that's where I think that overall, before we're getting to who we think we want, I think Biden's message is a sad one.
But that is what the Democrats are driving at the moment is doom and gloom.
And it's not to say that the Republicans don't do it too.
They do to a, you know, a smaller extent.
But when whenever we, whenever we have these conversations or take stock of what the Democrats are saying, it's all about don't do this, don't do that.
No freedom here, no freedom there.
Take this away, take this away.
You know, it's never like, oh, let's build each other up.
Let's do, you know, let's improve things.
There's no message of improvement ever.
It's all about, oh, you know, everything's awful.
And therefore, you know, let's just make it worse.
His whole thing, and it, you know, I guess that when he was talking about, you know, like a mask mandate for everyone, things like that.
And when, you know, then when Trump brought up the fact that his basement comments were, you know, oh, Biden, not everyone can live in the basement.
That's actually sort of representative, I guess, of where that whole campaign is at.
Because if you've basically locked yourself away in the basement and that's how you're approaching life, then yeah, you're probably going to think that everyone else should approach it the same way too.
If that's your solution to the pandemic, to a virus that kills really, you know, what is it, like 0.14% of the population, your response to that is to lock yourself away.
Then of course you're going to expect everyone else to do the exact same thing.
At the end of the debate, Biden kissed his wife with a mask on.
They kissed each other with masks on.
That is, that is like the personification of the Biden message.
That's the only emphatic thing that he said all night.
Truly.
It was.
I mean, everything else was like you said, it's him dodging or him, you know, throwing out random grenades at Trump about nonsensical half quotes.
That was the only emphatic thing that he had to say.
I mean, and look, at the end of the day, the fact that we focus so much on Trump not paying his taxes or his marriage or, you know, his grabbing by the pussy comments, which I absolutely hate that.
But, you know, we focus so much on all this other stuff over here.
And yet, when it comes to the nefarious activities of the Biden family, I mean, I'm kind of happy that he said something about it because, you know, there was really no discussion and there should have been a discussion about Hunter Biden and what they've been doing.
Although I did like that Trump called them, what was it, a vacuum cleaner?
Yeah.
A money sucking vacuum cleaner, whatever it is.
But yeah, that was the only emphatic thing that he had to say about it.
And it was almost like he was touching on the issue because he knew that they weren't going to quite get into it.
Yeah, he's definitely touching on a lot of things, especially young girls and stuff.
That's what I'll say.
So overall, I just want to say this.
I think that when we look at this, who really won the debate?
I think that it's fair to say that Trump had a stronger performance, that the muted mics worked in his favor, that he really came across back to his principles, his ideas.
He was well composed.
He had extremely good rebuttals, and he had a lot to point out that Biden really couldn't answer.
He got Biden to admit, you know, that he's going to find a way to get rid of the fossil fuel industry.
That's extremely damaging.
That the thing to do is more.
He said that Biden said he would re-lock down the country, that he would do more lockdowns.
And, you know, this is a person that that tweet was correct.
He's going to raise taxes, lock down the country, and he's going to destroy the energy industry.
And that's his intentions.
And for those reasons, I believe that Trump won very clearly.
But I could see why people say that Biden won, because I think a lot of Republicans in their echo chamber don't realize that Biden actually isn't a, he's not a retard.
Like him, he has problems with gaffs, but he's actually a very articulate individual in some ways.
Well, yeah, Biden did a lot better than, but you know, we've set the bar so low for Biden so that when he doesn't say stupid things, we're like, yes, go Biden.
Good job.
But I agree with you in the sense that, I mean, I think Trump did really well.
I like the fact that he was really composed and I think he was very respectful, honestly.
I think he was able to defend himself in a way that was useful and not aggressive.
However, and I said this last night, actually, when we were watching, there's a likability about Biden.
There is.
There's something about him that's like a grandfather.
Whereas with Trump, it's like he's, you know, he's kind of young and you can see like young at heart.
I mean, whereas with Biden, there's sort of like this, this likability that I think really appeals to his base in the very least.
And probably can appeal to moderates who will probably watch him and think, this person's not aggressive.
He's not attacking Trump.
He's not being, well, I, you know, he obviously will make these, these snide comments, which I think are really not helpful.
But when he's juxtaposed next to someone as, you know, bombastic and as, well, I guess you could say volatile or maybe combative as Trump, people, you know, will look at that and probably think, well, this, this man, this Biden is more presidential material than Trump.
So, and I agree with you.
I agree with your assessment, but I also understand why people think Biden won too.
