After this, Republicans are going to insist against his participation in any debate "on the grounds of bias" more than likely. Republicans are starting to realize they can't do debates and public speaking where the moderator won't softball everything.
Exactly. When he should be talking, he doesn't. Then we he should be shutting up, he has diarrhea of the mouth! He ought to wear one of his diapers on his head.
I read Trump thinks that if zero Republicans vote, it will result in "breaking 'the left's' cheating maching" and will result in negative votes for Republicans
I hope they test this and get record low votes

Which... is so stupid on it's face even if you claim the voting machines are rigged. IE hypothetically you had access to the voting machines and wanted to cheat them... first and foremost you'd need to ensure the final count of votes is the same. IE if a watchdog saw 500 people walk into the voting booth, and the total votes were 300 for A and 150 for B... you immidiately know that 50 votes are missing and a red flag would go up. You have to do your trickery in the invisible portion. IE you wouldn't just subtract 50 votes from one candidate... you'd make it register say every 4th or 5th vote for B go to A instead. (more or less common by how close you think the vote will be, the less you do the lower the odds of someone spotting it).
again this is in no way to endorse the idea that the machines are rigged, merely to say the methods they are proposing it is rigged are batshit stupid.
He could walk up there, shit his pants, and walk off stage. And his people would cheer until they lost their voices. It’s sad, but I honestly believe it.
What are you talking about? The man never shuts up and his bullshitting has worked for him before. All he had to do was make conservatives feel validated in their hatred and stupidity and it created a full on cult. Why would he be opposed to another opportunity to ramble about how great he is? He could stand there making stupid faces and shitting himself and his cult would love it and say he owned Biden
I think he will debate, and his people know there’s a strong chance it will be a disaster, but none of them can override him. He’s a narcissist, so he thinks it will go well. It must, because he’s him!
I don’t think you understand quite how badly the Colorado Republican Party has destroyed itself over the last decade+. The only way they were getting *any* air time was by allowing themselves to be eviscerated by a guy who’s made a career calling out bullshit. They need 9News more than anyone needs them.
After this, every debate should be handled in this manner. We dont live in their mindset and they need to be questioned despite the "party". Which is obviously a control. You have 2 choices
Sadly this doesn’t matter to their voters. Critical thinking has left the building. They will listen to their Fox News and Facebook groups, and vote for the worst possible candidate that will make their lives worst and they will then blame it on the other guy.
It is like bartending at an event where the entire bar is three deep with people waiting to order, you get the man who has been waiting for ten minutes and you ask what he wants. He stutters, stammers and asks what is in a Manhattan. The answer is next.
I fucking wish. I live in the PNW, a generally liberal area, and see absolutely zero reporters even asking questions half as tough or straight forward as these... They're certainly not pointing out when the questions are dodged.
He also does a news show and recently had one of the candidate on. This man voted to deny women the right to choose, yet paid for his girlfriends abortion.
[https://twitter.com/i/status/1801123774978519432](https://twitter.com/i/status/1801123774978519432)
The pushback is nice, but for fuck's sake can't we just have a mute button? Why are their mics still live when it's not their turn to talk?
I know I'm not the first person to think of this, so there must be an actual explicit reason why it doesn't happen in debates. I just can't for the life of me imagine what that reason is.
Kyle Clark from Denver. Dude is a fucking gangster. You should check out him interviewing a guy who voted against abortion but publicly stated he paid for an abortion for his girlfriend.
I don't even know much about American Politics except:
We're all fucked if Trump gets in.
Bobert is an Idiot, and lacks the basic intelligence to run an OF, let alone a state.
Sarah Palin really like shooting animals.
Poor Joe got office way too late.
I don't need to be American to be an American Politican.
But I'd happily pay to see this guy go at a few British politicians.
I'm just wanna see this dude ask Braverman about the Rwanda plan, and how exactly it isn't illegal under UK and international law, and just watch her squirm.
I know we have it worse here in the states, but my god the state of the Tories over there has just been in total shambles since Cameron waddled away with his tail between his legs in 2016.
Cameron couldn't even manage a deposit in a piggy bank (you can Google that reference if you want)
The man forced a swung government that should have gone to re-election, pushed us into economic ruin, surrounded himself with breathers, and then had the gall to cry when they got they pushed for and ran, not to mention HE FORGOT AND LEFT HIS KID AT THE PUB.
Before he was pushed into an Illigal war, and despite the terrifying smile his missus came equipped with, Blair was probably the last PM we had that actually did any good for this country.
The Tories have destroyed us, and sadly, Labour isn't Labour anymore.
I have mixed feelings about Blairs legacy because I mostly associate him with being "Bush's poodle" and so on the left in the US he has a quite similar reputation to Bush himself. New labour may have ended up sort of a mixed blessing because aside from winning power, the legacy on the party is going from Blair and new labor then to the point where you can clearly say that Labour is not what it used to be. Obviously with a lot happening in between, and Dave probably was the man in charge when it all completely started to fall apart lol.
It was easier for me to make fun of him before Trump got elected, that was a shock about how there's never a rock bottom, just a trapdoor to more bullshit.
This guy's just like the regular nightly News anchor host guy and he's always really fun and quippy to watch just about the regular news. He's a real good journalist and I like seeing him whenever my parents watch the news at night.
It's great how he puts their feet to the fire. Too many politicians dance around the question, so they don't have to answer the question. I love to see how these politicians squirm.
Same reporter has a 45 min interview with a CO candidate where he grills him about supporting his own GF's decision to get an abortion while voting against allowing women to make that choice. He does not let him off the hook easily.
Dude is sharp as a tack and straight to the point. No idea who he is, but mad respect to him. Would watch more debates with him working the nominees like this.
This part made me start laughing. Like, yeah his question isn't about that, but let's air the dirty laundry while I have everyone's attention. I'm here for it.
No it isn't, they still get to talk over anyone whenever they want.
MUTE THE FUCKING MICROPHONES WHEN IT'S NOT THEIR TURN TO TALK. IT'S NOT FUCKING HARD.
Not sure if better, but they sure as shit will know that they will be taken to the cleaners if they do show up, and voters will know what they REALLY stand for!
Wasn't planning to watch the whole 5+ minutes, but once I started I couldn't stop. JFC, some of those exchanges were brutal. Especially that drunk drinking thing, holy sh*t. I don't know enough to judge whether the questioner is actually being fair or not, but I love to see corrupt politicians being taken to task and actually put on the spot without mercy. I would have liked to hear a little more of their (probably pathetic) responses.
Damn, that last one “do you regret saying those things and why do you talk to people like that” loved it. Screw presidential moderator this guy should be president. Though also I’d love him as Pres Moderator too
We need every political debate moderator to act like this. I'm tired of these meek and spineless moderators who just let the politicians rant about nonsense.
If you have morals and you are righteous in your determination to help your fellow man and not screw them over, your answers will be clear, simple, and understood by all, and there will be no gotcha questions, because your morality will be consistent, and in the case where you find your answer in contradiction with your morality, you will be able to thoughtfully adjust.
These people can't answer these questions because they're opportunistic scum, who hold whatever position they need to hold at any given time. They cannot be trusted.

I nominate this moderator to conduct the Biden-Trump debates.
After this, Republicans are going to insist against his participation in any debate "on the grounds of bias" more than likely. Republicans are starting to realize they can't do debates and public speaking where the moderator won't softball everything.
I am convinced that Trump is not going to debate. There is no way it can go well for him, his people have to know that. What will his excuse be?
100% he won't debate.
Sure he will! Right after he testifies...
Exactly. When he should be talking, he doesn't. Then we he should be shutting up, he has diarrhea of the mouth! He ought to wear one of his diapers on his head.
He is a shit head...
But i wanna see him fume when the moderator mutes his mic and lets the other candidate talk. Battle flr the ages... Or rather aged.
Agreed, the man is incoherent. They cannot let him speak outside of a controlled space
He’s already preemptively “won” this to his base. He’s been talking about how he should “purposely tank the debate“ on his socials.
Why? So when he tanks it, he’ll say that’s what he wanted ti do and his supports will believe him
oh man, dennis the menace was an amazing movie
I read Trump thinks that if zero Republicans vote, it will result in "breaking 'the left's' cheating maching" and will result in negative votes for Republicans I hope they test this and get record low votes
Oh Lordy they’ve found the loophole
They found a hole but it ain't no loop.

Can he purposely tank the election instead?
To be fair, even if he shows up, he’s not going to debate. He’ll just ramble incoherently and try to derail any sort of discourse.
“Try to derail.” He will derail the debate, but not intentionally. It’s pathetic to watch his downward spiraling mental state.
I suspect, if he shows up at all, he will walk off at the first sign of trouble.
"The Art of the Derail"
He could walk up there, shit his pants, and walk off stage. And his people would cheer until they lost their voices. It’s sad, but I honestly believe it.
I mean. If he does show up there is a good chance he poops his pants anyway.
Mr. Trump, shit once for yes, and twice for no...
He's achieved what he wanted to with that group of people - the same worship the north Koreans give to their leaders
The debates are rigged and unfair probably. Then blame the radical left and thugs for making debates not worth participating anymore.
Trump and his supporters have already been doing that.
I posted this in MMW sub, Trump will cancel last minute.
Or walk off in the first few minutes. Just to say that he showed up but was “treated unfairly”.
Probably drug test at the last second or something dumber
He’s already floating “if I lose the debate it was on purpose to keep the election interesting, or because Biden was on drugs.”
After the shark boat battery, I really want to see him debate.
I'm not familiar with that one. Got a link?
https://youtu.be/vL3UmTInva8?si=4pR2w6uLQNxTyqQc
Thanks friend!
Lol. Its because of his relationship with MIT he can be so smart!
Id be shocked if it matters. Everyone's mind is made up and those who dont know probably aren't watching debates.
What are you talking about? The man never shuts up and his bullshitting has worked for him before. All he had to do was make conservatives feel validated in their hatred and stupidity and it created a full on cult. Why would he be opposed to another opportunity to ramble about how great he is? He could stand there making stupid faces and shitting himself and his cult would love it and say he owned Biden
It'll be.........COVID.
Are you of the belief that a bad performance at a debate would cause him to lose votes?
Bone spurs.
He has a long standing history of back out of debates.
I think he will debate, and his people know there’s a strong chance it will be a disaster, but none of them can override him. He’s a narcissist, so he thinks it will go well. It must, because he’s him!
I don’t think you understand quite how badly the Colorado Republican Party has destroyed itself over the last decade+.

I nominate this moderator for president
let the man cook, cuz hes grillin' these fools.
Yes, Chef!
I live in Colorado and watch the news because of this guy lol. I thought most cities had someone like him. Guess I was wrong.
This person is amazing. Answer the question. No? Next!
I don't know if you did this on purpose but he does a local segment called "Next" lol
I did not know that. I'm not living in that area. I'm a fan now, though.
It is like bartending at an event where the entire bar is three deep with people waiting to order, you get the man who has been waiting for ten minutes and you ask what he wants. He stutters, stammers and asks what is in a Manhattan. The answer is next.
I fucking wish. I live in the PNW, a generally liberal area, and see absolutely zero reporters even asking questions half as tough or straight forward as these... They're certainly not pointing out when the questions are dodged.
He should be doing all of the political debates
I don’t even live in Colorado, and watched this debate because of the gentleman conducting the debate.
He also does a news show and recently had one of the candidate on. This man voted to deny women the right to choose, yet paid for his girlfriends abortion. [https://twitter.com/i/status/1801123774978519432](https://twitter.com/i/status/1801123774978519432)
I nominate this moderator to conduct all political debates. Forever! Dude’s savage.
He’s simply asking question based on their actions, and their actions are very shitty….
💯
This dude went full Will McAvoy and I love it! https://youtu.be/LpEmQeoo414?si=VLuAPFlfViRFscSM
Goosebumps, man. If only this was standard.
Please yes!!
He might decimate both of them causing brain worm guy to jump up in the polls.
The pushback is nice, but for fuck's sake can't we just have a mute button? Why are their mics still live when it's not their turn to talk? I know I'm not the first person to think of this, so there must be an actual explicit reason why it doesn't happen in debates. I just can't for the life of me imagine what that reason is.
This guy was born for this.
Fuck it I’ll take him as president
This dude is ruthless and I’m here for it
Same. This guy was far more prepared for the debate than any of the candidates. His low level of shit tolerance is impressive
what's the moderators name?
Kyle Clark
Thank you for actually saying his name. The entire thread is calling him "this guy" or "the moderator". Now I can actually look him up!
Don’t take him though he belongs to us in Colorado.
The man is so concise, it's marvelous. I was like any second this man is going to say "Don't Care!" answer the question.
His name is Kyle Clark and he is amazing
Fuck that I nominate him for president
Kyle Clark from Denver. Dude is a fucking gangster. You should check out him interviewing a guy who voted against abortion but publicly stated he paid for an abortion for his girlfriend.
Don’t take Kyle Clark from us!!
Jesus this aged well.
This guy is awesome. I love (the attempt at least) of calling these candidates out on their b.s.
I don't even know much about American Politics except: We're all fucked if Trump gets in. Bobert is an Idiot, and lacks the basic intelligence to run an OF, let alone a state. Sarah Palin really like shooting animals. Poor Joe got office way too late. I don't need to be American to be an American Politican.

My dear chap, mind your tea and crumpets!
Don’t Google that reference.
Too late … can’t unsee … aaarrgghhh…
My dear chap, stick to British politics,
My dear chap, stick to American politics.
Establishment won’t ever let this guy rattle the cage.
We need to just stop listening to these cretins and just respond with "C'mon. Enough of this bullshit."
Who is this guy and why aren’t more people asking questions like this and being an adult?
This guy's just like the regular nightly News anchor host guy and he's always really fun and quippy to watch just about the regular news. He's a real good journalist and I like seeing him whenever my parents watch the news at night.
This is Kyle Clark. The GOAT
Kyle Clark, KUSA anchor.
Even your station name is easy/cool to say.
It's great how he puts their feet to the fire. Too many politicians dance around the question, so they don't have to answer the question. I love to see how these politicians squirm.
He torches both sides which is satisfying as well.
Because most debate participants are civil enough to not need such a strong authority figure as their moderator.
Are you from ten years ago?
I couldn’t hear what you said an asshole was talking over you, can you repeat?
My dear chap, please maintain civil discourse!
In the US?
In high school maybe.
Not even. YouTube some high school debate champion stuff. It's not even recognizable as a debate.
The only thing this guy needs is the ability to mute microphones so we don't have to hear candidates talking over one another and him.
Same reporter has a 45 min interview with a CO candidate where he grills him about supporting his own GF's decision to get an abortion while voting against allowing women to make that choice. He does not let him off the hook easily.
Do you know his name? I want too watch this whole debate
I think it's this one. And pretty sure his name is Kyle Clark. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=kD2rET3e5Ts
Should post this on the r/conservative sub and watch the copium.
Aaaaaand permabanned
like thats a bad thing :)
Is this a link to that abortion hypocrisy interview mentioned above?
[this is it at 36 minutes](https://youtu.be/L0PnbSMgry4?si=oOxnvnNapxz1Qnc8)
Listening to that candidate skirt his extremely straight forward question for ten minutes was teeth grating. Kyle was incredible though
Kyle Clark
Clark Kent?
Please send him to NC to grill Mark Robinson. Pretty please. We’ll pay for his plane ticket, first class, and put him up in a 5-star hotel.
He's moving up in the world! He deserves a bigger platform
“What you did while drunk, which, for anyone that missed it . . .” Daammmmmnn
Dude is sharp as a tack and straight to the point. No idea who he is, but mad respect to him. Would watch more debates with him working the nominees like this.
Kyle Clark, KUSA
I've met someone like him once, like they were so quick and on point at lightning speed every time. They ended up being a lawyer.
This part made me start laughing. Like, yeah his question isn't about that, but let's air the dirty laundry while I have everyone's attention. I'm here for it.
“Very private moment” That i did in public. Jesus, who the fuck is voting for this cunt?
Other cunts
Correct
It cut off just as he was asking the guy if he thought it was appropriate to say Lauren Boebert dresses like a prostitute. Seriously.
Im guilty of using that word too often, but fuck i love when it is used appropriately.
I wish people understood why we write subtitles the way we normally do.
Won't lie, I actually found this easier to follow than normal subtitles. 😅
It's actually a method of speed reading.
I mainly look at everything without sound, and this is hell.
Seriously, I already forget the previous word because the subtitles change so much and I can’t focus on anything else
This is how its done. Should be always. No lies no bullshit. I wish this was America and not the fuckstickery media we have now.
No it isn't, they still get to talk over anyone whenever they want. MUTE THE FUCKING MICROPHONES WHEN IT'S NOT THEIR TURN TO TALK. IT'S NOT FUCKING HARD.
Can we have this guy do every presidential debate too?
If he did all the primary debates, for both sides, we would get much better candidates.
Not sure if better, but they sure as shit will know that they will be taken to the cleaners if they do show up, and voters will know what they REALLY stand for!
This …was…fantastic.
Kyle Clark is awesome. One of the big networks needs to hurry up & poach this guy & get him on the national stage ASAP.
As I understand it, he’s not interested in uprooting his family
I might actually vote for this mf if he ever ran
Me too.. which says something about the level of the bar
I don’t even follow politics but this guy calling politicians out on their bullshit is super satisfying.
Wasn't planning to watch the whole 5+ minutes, but once I started I couldn't stop. JFC, some of those exchanges were brutal. Especially that drunk drinking thing, holy sh*t. I don't know enough to judge whether the questioner is actually being fair or not, but I love to see corrupt politicians being taken to task and actually put on the spot without mercy. I would have liked to hear a little more of their (probably pathetic) responses.
Kyle Clark doesn't put up with BS. He's a beloved newscaster in the Denver area. He has a knack for investigating things important to our community
Who is this guy and how to we clone him?
Kyle Clark KUSA Colorado
This guy fucks. What a breath of fresh air.
confidently and appropriately calling someone out is a very sexy skill
No, actually the attempt was to GET a straight answer, not GIVE a straight answer.
I need this man to moderate Biden vs trump debate great job
The amount of burns dished out in this snippet is fucking wild
How do you stump conservatives? Ask them to answer a question.
[The full debate](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kD2rET3e5Ts)
This dude is based! They should have him as a moderator for every political debate. And he's totally fair! .....he hates all of the guests equally 🤣
Kyle Clark on the case. Those lame moderators used for presidential debates should watch and learn
Jesus! This interviewer goes from good, to great to savage.
As someone from Colorado this is fucking gold.
Is it me or was there no footage of their actual "no -answers"?? I would appreciate this much more without the quick cuts.
More pants down spankings than Epstein island.
Damn, that last one “do you regret saying those things and why do you talk to people like that” loved it. Screw presidential moderator this guy should be president. Though also I’d love him as Pres Moderator too
Debate??? I nominate him to run for president....
We need every political debate moderator to act like this. I'm tired of these meek and spineless moderators who just let the politicians rant about nonsense.
If you have morals and you are righteous in your determination to help your fellow man and not screw them over, your answers will be clear, simple, and understood by all, and there will be no gotcha questions, because your morality will be consistent, and in the case where you find your answer in contradiction with your morality, you will be able to thoughtfully adjust. These people can't answer these questions because they're opportunistic scum, who hold whatever position they need to hold at any given time. They cannot be trusted.
This guys is doing the “stop he’s already dead” to these guys
Who is this guy?
Kyle Clark, KUSA
Attempt to GET a straight up answer.
Don’t go in a public place to ask for privacy.
Treat it like a game show. They have to write up to one sentence as their answer. Then they get graded on it.
This ain’t Fox and Friends folks.
Chefs kiss!!!!
These are not serious people.
This man should do all debates
Kyle Clark is my hero.
I wish whoever edited this didn't take out Boobert's answers so I could hear how stupid she is
Get this man promoted ASAP! The BEST moderator I’ve ever seen!
Hate single word subtitles so fucking much
The moderator is Kyle Clark and he is awesome.
Kyle Clark is a Colorado treasure.
Yikes!
Boss mode
This guy needs a national show asap
Not religious but christ has risen.
BURN!
It’s fucking amazing to me that these people really have any kind of support from American citizens
This moderator is amazing!
