[video] >> everybody knows i'm going to cut taxes substantially and create a great economy, like i did before. we got hit with a pandemic.

the pandemic was not since 1917 where hundred billion people died -- 100 million people died has there been anything like it. we handed them over a country where the economy and the stock market was higher than it was before the pandemic came in. nobody has ever seen anything like it. we made ventilators for the entire world. we got gowns, masks, things people didn't think were possible. they give me credit for a lot of things would not enough credit for the great job we did with the pandemic. the only jobs they got where bounce back jobs. it bounced back and went to their benefit. i was the one that created them. >> vice president harris, i will let you respond. >> donald trump has no plan for you. when you look at his economic plan, it's all about tax breaks for the rich as people. i'm offering what i described as

an opportunity economy. the best economists in our country, if not the world have reviewed our relative plans for the future of america. what goldman sachs has said is that donald trump's plan would make the economy worse, mine would strengthen the economy. with the wharton school has said is that donald trump's plan would actually explode the deficit. 16 nobel laureates have described his economic plan as something that would increase inflation and by the middle of next year would invite a recession. you have to look at where we are and where we stand on the issues. donald trump actually has no plan for you, because he's more interested in defending himself that he is in looking out for you. >> that is soundbite. i went to the wharton school of finance. many professors, the top professors think my plan is a brilliant plan, a great plan.

a plan that will bring up our worth and value as a country. it will make people want to work and create jobs and create good, solid money for our country. to finish off, she does not have a plan. she copied biden's plan and its four sentences. ron, spot, run. four sentences that are we will try a lower tax. she doesn't have a plan. host: you can see the full debate sponsored by abc news at c-span.org. go to our video app at c-span now to see the whole debate. we will show you other portions.

when donald trump spoke, the democrats -- that the democrats and others were in favor of abortion, how could he speak for me or any particular party and that matter? i would like to say to all people who are on the fence, the election, take away the faces. take away trump and harris. look at the facts. go beyond what someone says. fact-check yourself. be educated before you go to the polls. host: john in california, a supporter of former president trump. caller: good morning. i would like to make three point. the first is that i thought kamala making all the faces and shaking her head and frowning

and doing all that stuff was very on presidential -- un presidential and really a bullying type of thing. i did not appreciate her coming off and making all the faces. that is number one. number two, as far as kamala's plan, it's not for everybody. if you have kids, you will get something. if you're starting up a business, you will get something. everybody isn't going to get something. everyone is going to get higher taxes, higher inflation. the third point is that i hear from callers we are going to leave this to take you live to the u.s. house. you can continue watching at our website, c-span.org or the c-span now video a. se will be in order. se will be the prayer will be offered by chaplain kibben. chaplain kibben: would you pray withe.
