Speaker 3: Right now, debates are at the forefront of this election. What is some advice you have for our country's leaders as someone who debates regularly?

Speaker 1: I would say always have your sources in check. They would say, I think I heard this from this person. Or like, I heard this from this person and this is why your argument is wrong. I don't think that's really reliable. Like during a real debate, So always have your sources in check, like you would say, according to Lee Schepps, if that's your name. Like according to Lee Schepps, she said this, this, and this. And to always let your opponent talk when it's their turn.

And I feel like that kind of puts it on a pedestal with the presidential elections.

Speaker 3: What makes a good argument?

Speaker 1: There's a format for that. It's called Claim, Warrant, Impact. Your claim is kind of the main idea of your argument. Like let's say you're debating cats are better than dogs.

What's the impact that your argument has? So it's kind of like a three-point structure.
