No debate about that, but Tuesday was debate night in America, at least for the presidential candidates, and today's show has some highlights for you.

Thank you for watching the format for the face off in Cleveland, Ohio, at Case.

Two candidates, 90 minutes, zero commercials, six subjects.

That was the plan for incumbent Republican President Donald Trump and Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden.

Fox News anchor Chris Wallace got to select the topics, and he'd planned to spend roughly 15 minutes on each of them.

In order to qualify for a presidential debate, candidates have to have the support of at least 15% of voters, as determined by five national polling organizations.

That's the rules set by the Commission on Presidential Debates, which organizes and governs these events.

And that's why Libertarian nominee Jo Jorgensen and Green Party nominee Howie Hawkins were not included in Tuesday's debate.

To prepare for the event, former vice president Biden huddled with his team in Wilmington, Delaware, practicing in mock debates.

Anticipating attacks from the incumbent leader, President Trump huddled with his team in the map room of the White House, practicing in mock debates, anticipating attacks from the former vice president.

Presidential debate coaches say being prepared for attacks and not getting emotional about them is key.

No candidate wants to hear one of those for the first time in the spotlight on the debate stage.

That's why when the topic of Covad 19 came up, a set amount of time was planned for both candidates.

Over seven million infected in the United States.

We in fact, have 5% of or 4% of the world's population.

20% of the deaths 40,000 people a day are contracting co vid.

In addition to that about between 7 50 1000 people, they're dying.

When he was presented with that number, he said.

It is what it iss what is what it is because you are who you are.

That's why it iss The president has no plan.

He knew all the way back in February how serious this crisis Waas.

He's on tape, is acknowledging he knew it.

He said he didn't tell us or give people a warning of it because he didn't want to panic the American people.

He went in and we were insisting that the Chinese, the people we had on the ground and China should be able to go toe Wuhan and determine for themselves how dangerous this Waas.

He told us what a great job she was doing.

He said We owe him a debt of gratitude for being so transparent with us.

If we would have listened to you, the country would have been left wide open.

Millions of people would have died, not 200,000, and one person is too much its China's fault.

And by the way, when you talk about numbers, you don't know how many people died in China?

You don't know how many people died in Russia?

You don't know how many people died in India.

They don't exactly give you a straight count, just so you understand.

But if you look at what we've done I closed it.

And he xenophobic because you didn't think I should have closed our country.

You didn't think we should have closed our country because you thought it was, too?

You wouldn't have closed it for another two months by my doing it early.

In fact, Dr Fauci said, President Trump saved thousands of lives.

Many of your Democrat governor said President Trump did a phenomenal job.

Go take a look at the governor said I did a phenomenal job.

Most of them said that in fact, people that would not be necessarily on my side said that we got the gowns.

We got the masks, we made the ventilators.

Fewer people are dying when they get sick.

Of course, that wasn't the only subject or point of disagreement between the two men.

There was a lot of bickering in this debate.

There were interruptions and insults throughout.

And one priority for the moderator and the Commission on Presidential Debates is to make sure that the candidates each get a fair shot at making their points.

The commission has sponsored every presidential and vice presidential debate since 1987.

It's nonpartisan and it says it doesn't receive funding from the government or any political party or campaign.

That's why when topics concerning the environment and climate change were brought up, the goal was to give each candidate a set amount of time.

I believe that we have to do everything we can tow, have immaculate air, immaculate water and do whatever else we can.

We're planting a billion trees, the billion tree project, and it's very extreme believe that human pollution, gas, greenhouse gas emissions contributes to the global warming up.

I think a lot of things do, but I think to an extent, yes, I think, to an extent, yes, but I also think we have to do better management of our forests every year.

I get to call California's Burning California's burning if that was cleaned, if that were, if you had forest management, good forest management, you wouldn't be getting those calls during our administration.

The Recovery act I was able to I was in charge, able to bring down the cost of renewable energy to cheaper than or as cheap as coal and gas and oil.

Nobody's gonna build another, uh, coal fired plant in America.

No one's gonna build another oil fired plant in America.

There's so many things that we can do now to create thousands and thousands of jobs.

We can get toe net zero in terms of energy production by 2035 not only not costing people jobs, creating jobs, creating millions of good paying jobs.

The stakes were high for both candidates, who wanted not only to win but to win over voters going into the debate.

A Monmouth University poll found that 74% of American voters plan toe watch it, but here's something interesting on Lee.

3% said they were likely to change their planned vote based on what the candidates said.

Still, they had a lot to say and a lot of ground to cover.

And another topic was titled The Integrity of the Election.

His own homeland Security director, as well as the FBI director, says there is no evidence at all that mail in ballots are a source of being manipulated and cheating.

They said that the fact is that they're gonna be millions of people because of Cove it, that they're going to be voting by mail in ballots like he does by the way he sits behind the Resolute desk and sends his ballot.
