she allowed mike pence to interrupt. she was allowing him to do that and helping him to look like donald trump the week before. we talked about policy but also there were untruths. the fact checkers going on overdrive. we are hearing exactly what lay behind what the two candidates said. we touched on these earlier but these danger for the democrats that a bunch of people who voted democrat before may just stay people who voted democrat before mayjust stay home is so many of them did in 2016 with the consequences we all know about. did this feel to you like it was enough to change that? i don't know. it is interesting. when all is said and done, the point of the debate is to speak directly to the american people and specifically to american voters who are as yet undecided. will this debate change anything like that? we had from kamala harris at the end of the debate on appealfor harris at the end of the debate on appeal for people to get out and vote. when you speak to people here on the ground in utah, a deeply religious

mike pence played mike pence, kamala harris played kamala harris. >> yeah. she was definitely kamala. i think she was -- she connected and was warm but in command and strong. and i do think the moments that stood out in the whole debate, besides her really showing her command of a great bit of policy across a lot of different sectors of public policy was health care and mismanagement of the covid crisis. i think both of those issues are very important in four weeks and i think she handled them pitch perfectly. >> james, tim kaine, last foreign have debated mike pence before national audience said this about mike pence, remember the former radio talk show host, quote, he can look in a camera and deliver a line with utmost sincerity, even if he knows it to be absolutely untrue. what stood out to you tonight? >> i will not be lectured, senator harris said that multiple times. women hate to be lectured by men and she drove that point home. other thing that stood out to me, referred to vice president biden as joe. conscientious decision that was made. two things

but it didn't, it landed on mike pence.hing, maybe something karmic about the status of the campaign. you have a fox news poll that has biden up ten points. rasmussen has biden up 12. the numbers are imploding, the campaign is cratering, it's falling apart. those are the conditions under which mike pence had to stand up there and lie, but the american people get what's going on. >> and i'll just say on the fact check what steve schmidt has said about the numbers is true. what he said about the ultimate moral reckoning of whether the fly connotes evil or devil is above my pay grade. but i can't confirm it. >> some people are saying historically about the fly. >> steve schmidt, always good to have you. the other big topic in the debate is of course the president's supreme court plans a month heading into the election. >> president trump and i could not be more enthusiastic about the opportunity to see judge amy coney barrett become justice amy coney barrett. she's a brilliant woman, and she will bring a lifetime of experience

and mike pence is the chair of the coronavirus task force.our hundred 10,000 deaths. in the last month, 3a states... right now, there covid cases are higher than they were in month ago, hospitalizations are going up. it has been an abject failure. people are dying. he did not have to be this bad. and tonight we are going to talk about it. we cannot fix our economy, and our economy has collapsed to levels unseen since our great depression, we cannot fix the economy until we fix the coronavirus, and the abject failure of this administration has had just a horrific consequent is in the united states. that's going to the centre of this discussion tonight. what are you expecting? 0ne assumes we are knocking —— not notice the 80 repeat of the presidential debate? you have kamala harris, a trial lawyer, incredibly eloquent, mike pence, former radio host. we are expecting an elevated debate, surely. i sure hope mike pence does not repeat what donald trump did last week, interruption after interruption after interruption, and i hope he reads the pulli

trump, mike pence, biden and harris.date and in the top right—hand corner of the united states, the north—eastern united states, people there have just started looking for mike pence in the last half—an—hour. if you look on the right, that just half—an—hour. if you look on the right, thatjust shows donald trump and joe biden. before the debate, that was mostly before the debate, that was m ostly rea d , before the debate, that was mostly read, mostly donald trump and is the debate has gone on, it is mostly leaning towards being blue. does that mean essentially that from kamala harris's point of view, job done. it's about putting herself in front of the american nation and that map of the states there suggests she has done that. yes, she has got the retention. they are looking for that. i would say that. whether it has affected the polls, we'll have to see because there is a seven to 8% margin in the polls in biden's favourite the moment. so if that doesn't change, you could argue polls. in terms of what is trending on so

fly, multiple account, mike pence's fly, the pence fly, pence's hair fly, fly, the pence fly, pence'spence fly, pence's hair fly, et cetera, fly, the pence fly, pence's hairfly, et cetera, and various people making jokes such as, no flies on mike pence and various other quips. 0na more on a more serious note, karen pence not wearing a mask when shejoined him on the pence not wearing a mask when she joined him on the stage at the end. letter speak now to the end. letter speak now to the former communications director for the former communications directorfor president the former communications director for president trump's 2016 campaign. brian, if the polls are to be believed and i know you will tell me they were wrong in 2016 at about this point in the campaign then, really, all kamala harris had to do was hold the line. mike pence had to really shift the needle. did you honestly feel he did? thank you for having me, and typically i don't think the vice president shifted the needle, i think he gave a glimmer of the strategy going forward , glimmer of the strategy going forward, talki

mike pence is a lwa ys on this one? mike pence is always an under the radar guy.ional republican. and so mike pence's job, really, in the white house has been to support the president, to give him some credibility with the traditional republican party andi traditional republican party and i think he ends up being sort of in the explainer position of trying to interpret some of president trump's more unconventional positions as a conventional politician, so we will see where he goes tonight, but i think that vice president pence could potentially reassure people that the administration really does have the current service under control and that despite what might make the nervous about president trump's tweets, he is after a ll president trump's tweets, he is after all the leader of the president's coronavirus task force —— have any current verse under control. to the extent he has to talk about that, and i don't the key can get away from that, he would rather talk about the economy and other issues, but he will be trying to show that the administration is indeed f

this is what he said about his expectations for mike pence. "he will speak with conviction, he won't be obnoxious. he will get the kind of performance that traditional conservatives wished donald trump was capable of giving. pence is able to keep them on board and resist the temptation to jump ship to joe biden. this is the stop the bleeding debate. andrea: i agree to a extent. we know trump is punching aggressively. pence is going to want to look moderate in style if not in substance and he is going to maintain a polite tone. he is to maintain a courteous tone. i think it will be vigorous because he is a vigorous debate r. he has a lot of facts at his command and i think people use them. i think he will be prepared to scrutinize kamala harris's record. her days in california, and her current record. john: what do we know about how he is preparing? who is helping him prepare? andrea: i don't know so i can't answer that question. one thing i can be certain of is he has been preparing. that would perhaps be another contrast between pence and pres

he should have answered that. -- >> what about vice president mike pence? >> of course, but i think this whole thing about a peaceful transfer of power is a little hysterical. the supreme court, this is litigated, the supreme court is going to decide. there's going to be a bush v gore decision and it's going to be enforced. there's not a single chance, there won't be troops in the streets and violent opposition to donald trump leaving the white house if he loses. >> i think the question of packing the courts is a little hysterical, tomac. if joe biden takes office -- packing the court is it would be such an extreme measure that would take such a huge, huge legislative and legal left. i think it's one of those out there perhaps to the left but it's not likely to happen. so i actually think that, you know, the biden campaign is wise not to address it. >> in order to add judges to the court, not only would joe biden have to win the presidency, but the democrats would have to take over the senate and that's just the politics of the electoral piece of it. then l

mike pence is the statesman.o completely and totally unflappable in every way. but in some of those conversations that you talked about taxes gianno and some of the other things there are things that kamala harris brought up that i don't think are the top focus things for america. when she brought back up russia for example i thought was that a miss for her. she was strongest on coronavirus and strongest in saying that the trump administration has not actually satisfied the american people and failed the american people. i think the problem is and i think you point to it in some of the frank luntz pulling and things like that while and this is really about what party you belong. to say the political left thinks that mike pension was man explaining and the political right takes a how kamala harris responds and reacts to things that's not the way a vice president or a leader should do it. if we are going to talk about presidential tone, mike pence wins that category hands down going away every single time. todd: me

you saw the fly to send on mike pence's ha mike pence head? what did you think?> i'm glad the fly didn't land on joe biden's head because he would've collapsed under the weight of the housefly. i'm also glad it didn't land on kamala harris because if it would landed on kamala, cnn would've labeled it a hate cri hate crime. i'm happy that both those things didn't happen. if head had landed on nancy pelosi, i think it would've just crawled in one eac and walked out the other. >> tucker: [chuckling] so good! i'm glad i asked you. i it didn't occur to you as a noted expert on demonic possession, it didn't occur to you as an exorcist type of moment as it did to msnbc? >> i know what happened. the fly was disorientated because it had just fled california. it couldn't take it anymore. the fly -- sure, there is all the fecal matter all over the streets. that was great. but it couldn't take gavin newsom anymore so the fly left for utah. >> tucker: [laughter] i even the insects, the dung beetles, the carrion eaters, they are leaving too? the whole food chain? >> homeless,

it's not up to mike pence to decide who won the election.egal process for counting votes and the electoral college to meet, cast votes and the vote to be certified. the most important thing i can say to people is to vote. i think the fundamental problem in bush v. gore was a very, very close election and it was subject to all kinds of chicanery on the part of the bush campaign. the only way to win is to have an overwhelming result in 2020. the biden campaign is absolutely ready to fight this in court. we have aggressive voter protections, all these things. but the single best line of defense for democracy is people exercising their right to vote and making it clear they want the era of trump to end. >> ron klain, no one knows more about closely fought presidential elections than ron klain. thank you for joining us. >> thanks lawrence. thanks for having me. >>> when we come back y did mike pence interrupt kamala harris 16 times last night and why did the moderator of the debate make sure that kamala harris did not get equal time to speak in t

there was a mike pence library account but popped up.e history here, hillary clinton, a fly landed on her face in the 2016 debate and a fly also land on michael bloomberg's face during his dnc speech so i don't know what is going on at political events, they need to get some bug spray. jillian: we just made reference to kamala harris making meme worthy expressions. >> beverly holberg on that next. ♪ these folks, they don't have time to go to the post office they have businesses to grow customers to care for lives to get home to they use stamps.com print discounted postage for any letter any package any time right from your computer all the services of the post office plus ups only cheaper get our special tv offer a 4-week trial plus postage and a digital scale go to stamps.com/tv and never go to the post office again. >> donald trump put america first. the reality if i may finish we could lose 2.2 million americans. jillian: kamala harris facing off against mike pence with some expressive reactions during the debate. todd: joining us in

i am not sure if mike penc pence -- probably has not.etting with that kind of biography. i think we are all looking to see. i don't know if i have an answer of how pence is going to handle it. >> scott walker who played tim kaine is involved in his debate prep right now. he's convinced that the president will acknowledge it and how important it is. the question though is after that moment how he moves around and maneuvers around him. i am told from people from around the harris debate prep, they are cognizant of the fact that she's a woman. yes, it is 2020. people. >> reporter: sometimes perceived differently by voters. she's who she is and she's confident. she's done very well so far. that's something they are thinking about when it comes to perception. >> there is the whole angle and this is republicans talking point. kamala harris is not a moderate. that's their pitch. joe biden is the empty ease sell and the kamala harris of the world. when presented with the more progressive aspect of the party, joe biden tends to distance himself.

i felt mike pence won this one.ost and i think it would be nice if there was a second round. >> tucker: mike pence was accused last night on the other channels of something called mansplain-income. have you ever mansplained? >> i feel like every time a man opens his mouth he's potentially mansplain-name. so i guess if you are heterosexual, white and male and you open your mouth, you might potentially be involved in a crime. but on the other hand i have some good explaining to do so people should listen. >> tucker: you should change the name of your show, mansplain-eating with adam corolla. tonight, they have a chance to do something about it but they are not. it's not a happy story but we feel duty bound to tell you the story after the break. ♪ may want to purchase, we can help them and provide that financial solution for they and their families. it's a great rewarding feeling. everybody in the company, they have that deference and that respect and that love for the veteran that makes this company so unique. >> tuck

mike pence will be more reasonable sounding.hat is a different context or environment for having a debate. bes important not to confused that his delivery can be different but his substance is the same. we saw that at the republican national convention. it's going to be important not only for kamala harris to share her vision but also for the say what-- that he can he says with a confidence and a smile but it doesn't make it anymore true or good for the american people because his demeanor may be different. >> of what to bring you into the conversation. you have known kamala harris since she was a prosecutor in california. how do you think hurt debate style -- do you expect her to take advantage of that tonight? >> absolutely it is great to be here with you. historic occasion. the first time a woman of color will be in a vice presidential debate. let's recognize we are going to be witnessing history. it speaks to the different audiences. because it is the first time we have seen someone who looks like large, ais stage this lot o

mike pence needs to challenge harris on her economic plan, stifle the economy, heard jobs, kill americaneurial spirit, won't be easy for pence but he has got to at least try. kamala harris, not part of this, to appeal to bolstering her party. jillian: let's look at these numbers, the question is who would handle the economy better? as you can see, 49%, something else to show you, the state of the economy, 11.4 million jobs covered. how important do you think it is for the vice president to say look at the economy, look at where we were, we will be able to rebound and get back on track. >> that is what pence needs to highlight. we don't have enough people to fill available jobs, record low unemployment for hispanic americans, black americans, records were being broken for women in the workplace, the trump administration has a lot to brag about and a lot of the economic slump is due to unending lockdowns in states run by democrat mayors so pence needs to highlight that as well. carley: a new poll so strong voter enthusiasm for the 2020 election ahead of levels from 2012-2016. if you look a

then you've got mike pence, he studies every ship. he's unflappable and the combination is extremely powerful. if you take donald trump's unique style in a debate with some of that knowledge and, you know, finesse that pence has, it's probably an unstoppable combination, would you agree? >> absolutely. there were a perfect combination. it's a good thing that you have the opposite personalities, because it brings a lot of balance into the administration and i think it's one of the reasons they've been so successful. they have a very good relationship and i think it shows just how effective they have been and i think the vice president did a phenomenal job of talking about their success, also pointing out what a biden-harris administration would look like in contrast to the trump administration, the two things could not be more starkly different. i thought he did a very good job of making that case and laying it out and really arguing for why they deserve and should get elected to four more years. >> sean: sarah sanders, ari fleischer, a

mike pence is 61. kamala harris is in her late 50s.ent the younger aspect and the younger generation of these two tickets. i think everyone looks at them with an eye to what they would look like as president. both of them are potential future presidents and would be using the role of the next four years to try to take that to get people to see them that way or potentially to take over. we have never had a president as old as joe biden. he would be 86 at the end of his second term and there have been polls that show a lot of americans believe, a majority of americans believe he might not go through the first term and into the second term. these two individuals have to be evaluated on the basis of that. do the american people see them as a president of the united states in this case, bill? >> bill: we'll see in prime time and throughout the day today. martha maccallum here in salt lake. back to sandra in new york. >> sandra: thank you. forecasters warning the residents of the louisiana and mississippi as hurricane delta khurns in the gul

harris made a greater effort to take down donald trump and the trump pence administration where mike pencea better job explaining what the pence administration and trump administration has done and third they were more upset with kamala harris's reaction, the smiling, the smirking, scowling. they were angrier at that than that mike pence went over his time. voters do not like it when candidates run long and when they run long every time they think that's an example of being undisciplined and unfocused they were more agitated with kamala harris's presentation than they were with mike pence not sticking to time. >> whether a policy issue that stood out for them in this debate? covered a lot of territory. >> the issue is not policy but what trump had done or not done. he was responsible are not responsible for the economy, whether he had done what he promised to do on covid-19 or not. it is more based on the trump administration and a referendum, still a referendum on donald trump rather than a choice. of the trump campaign cannot change that from a referendum to a choice i'm afraid donald tr

you played mike pence in your prep with tim cane.you are not involved in this election for either party. how did you get ready to play mike pence in 2016? what did you do? >> i had the opportunity over 10 cycles to play the republican opponent. i prepare a detailed briefing book on every issue i can think of and the attacks and rebuttals. i don't imitate them. i just imitate a few words and positions. >> bill: you didn't try to assume his personality then? >> no. i am not an actor. i think i assumed his positions and those that he espoused. >> bill: you have done debate prep for democrats since 1976. with dukakis and lieberman and barack obama and tim cain. do you think at the vice-presidential level given the times in which we are in 2020, this means more tonight or no? >> i think it's very consequential because of the president's illness. people will take a much closer look at mike pence. over the years vice-presidential debates generally have not made a difference. the first one that was ever held in 1976, the research showed it m

mike pence held steady.e ground but didn't make up any ground. 41% before the ground favorable and after the debate favorable. the critical question, are they qualified to be president, can they stop into the top job. 63% of debate watchers they kamala harris is qualified to be president. and mike pence, the sitting vice president of the united states scores equally as well, 65% say he is ready and qualified to be president. only 34% of debate watchers said he is not. >> we're going to be getting more results from you as well. i know you're going through numbers right now, david chalian. let's go back to jake, dana, and abby. >> one of the interesting moments dana, considering this is an administration in which president trump has leaned on the cdc and fda to help him get re-elected by getting a vaccine out or therapeutics out to the point that people who work at the cdc and fda are worried about their agencies being taint. one interesting moment was vice president pence telling kamala harris not to play pol

i think mike pence helped himself in the debate among republicans who look at him and say i like mikeut of this more popular. but i think the fundamentals as we look at this entirety of the race, i think the country's still upset about covid, they're still upset about the economy, they're worried about health care, and all of those things in that dynamic are frozen in place right now. mike pence had to figure out a way to shake that. he didn't shake that dynamic. he didn't do badly. one other thing about mike pence that i found fascinating watching this is mike pence misleads and prevaricates as much as donald trump but he just does it with conviction and sincerity. that's what i thought was amazing about watching this debate. >> and he does come across as very sincere. rahm, last week's presidential debate was widely considered to be the worst debate ever. we often say that elections are about the top of the ticket. but with biden 77 and trump 74 with covid, do you think that tonight was more important than the typical vice presidential debate? >> i don't think this will change the r

the vice president mike pence fired back, blasting harris for her comments. watch. >> vice pres. e: senator, i have to ask you,top playing politics with people's lives. your continuous undermining of confidence in a vaccine, it is just unacceptable. >> dagen: trey, i've said over and over again, this fearmongering is something we heard from kamala harris and even joe biden and it puts people's lives at risk if they tell them you can't take a vaseen if a republican is in the white house. >> trey: yeah, i thought that was one of her worst moments. it is better to say what trump said, i will be first in line or last in line, i will let you pick. the fact that a pandemic has become as polarizing as it has is reflection how sad the state of the republic is. mike pence projected sympathy, what a lot of voters want to see. look, we did a good job and mourn the loss of the 200,000 plus people who lost their lives. i think mike was particularly effective when he said, thank god we didn't take your advice. it would have been worse and thank god the swine flu was not as lethal as novel coron

mike pence will be very, very well prepared.an opportunity to expose the radical left agenda of biden/harris. kamala harris was rated the most liberal member of the united states senate even further to the left than bernie sanders. she is a co-sponsor of his bill medicare for all. it would outlaw private health insurance. i am pretty sure those will be points that mike pence brings up tomorrow night. >> bill: we will get to the issues then. tim, thanks for your time. see you later in salt lake city. in a moment the president's doctor said he is not out of the woods. the care he is receiving in the white house. and the pollster on how the diagnosis could play out in the campaign. we continue from salt lake city. come on back right after this. ♪ [ sneeze ] skip to cold relief fast with alka seltzer plus severe powerfast fizz. dissolves quickly. instantly ready to start working. ♪ oh, what a relief it is! so fast! did you know cliberty mutualir. customizes your car insurance so you only pay for what you need? just get a quote at li

the other thing in terms of a difference is that mike pence is a different kind of debater than trumpi don't expect that we will see tonight what we saw last tuesday. i think pence will be more reasonable sounding. so i think that is a different context or environment for having a debate. but i also think it's important that his delivery can be different, but his substance is the same. we saw that at the republican national convention. it's going to be important not only for kamala harris to share her vision, but also for the moderator, to hold him accountable, because he is saying whatever he can say with a confidence or smile, but it doesn't make it anymore true or good for the american people because his demeanor may be different. >> i want to bring you into the conversation, christina. you have known kamala harris since she was a prosecutor in california. how do you think her legal background plays into her debate style? do you expect her to take advantage of that tonight? >> absolutely, it is great to be here with you. what a historic occasion. the first time a woman of color wil

mike pence will go head to head with kamala harris. rain, sleet, snow or pandemic nothing stops this 102-year-old from voting. "fox and friends first" starts now. >> two news stories, salt lake city, the vice presidential debate will take place later today and we are honoring it even halen and the passing of him, a lot of news to get to, a busy day, good morning, you are watching "fox and friends first". carley: thanks for starting your day with us. let's get to a fox news alert, donald trump authorizes declassification of all russia collusion and hillary clinton probe documents. jillian: newly released i can show top officials briefed president obama and clinton absolute plan to tie donald trump to russia as a distraction. marion referee breaks everything down for us. >> reporter: donald trump ready to reveal everything related to the surveillance of the campaign in 2016, the president tweeting i'm fully authorized the total declassification of any and all documents pertaining to the single greatest political crime in american history

mike pence is good. he can be very effective. think she will manage this well and she will be able to deliver a message in a way that joe biden couldn't do because of he had a heckler at his side. >> the hillary clinton advice, don't get too angry. how concerned or prepared does the senator have to be to not have the trope of the angry black woman come out if she is aggressive toward the vice president and wanting to respond directly to things she might think are false or claims that he has that she thinks are true? jen, of course, agree with that having seen her for a dozen , years in different spaces at different times, i am confident that she can calibrate and walk the balance of what is needed for a moment like this. but i also want underscore and agree with jen the point being , that this is an important moment but it is defined by thence --pence's mismanagement of the pandemic. that's really important to keep front and center. i think she will be able to walk the balance. because it is genuine. she and joe are genuinely wis

mike pence: lo importante es decir la verdad.evocar los recortes fiscales de trump, los que le dio la familia promedio trabajadora. un recorte fiscal cada aÑo. senadora, de eso se trata. no solamente va a revocar parte de los cortes fiscales. kamala harris: la comunidad de agencia de inteligencia ha informado que rusia tuvo injerencia en las elecciones. que estÁ haciendo lo mismo en el 2020. el director del fbi ha dicho lo mismo, pero donald trump, comandante en jefe de los estados unidos de amÉrica, prefiere aceptar la palabra de vladimir putin y no aceptarla de las agencias de inteligencia en estados unidos. pedro: el vicepresidente pence dijo y defendiÓ que el presidente trump no es un hombre racista. mike pence: me quiero decir que la posiciÓn que escuchamos consistentemente de joe biden y kamala harris, que los estados unidos es sistemÁticamente racista. como dijo joe biden, Él cree que las agencias policiales tienen un fanatismo implÍcito contra las minorías, es un gran insulto. pedro: a las afueras se desarrollaron protest

mike pence had resisted that.e this is not just about safety and the pandemic that also about the politics and the visuals of the night. they will be sitting more than 12 feet apart with plexiglass screens separating them. the 90 minute debate will be watched by tens of millions of people across america and debate, the visual reminding as it is taking place in a global pandemic, more that has killed more than 200,000 americans and, of course, one of the people, mike pence has been leading the task was leading the response by america. that will take upa the response by america. that will take up a lot of the content will take up a lot of the co nte nt of will take up a lot of the content of the debate as well this evening. people will not have forgotten last week's debate, the battle of the old white man and a very ugly business it was. they have certain things in common but these two are from absolutely different universes? you could not get to more polar opposite on the same stage. kamala harris, californian sena

well there you see it the stage where comma harris and vice president mike pence will be having their vice presidential debate any moment now they'll be the 1st and the only vice presidential debate we know of that the moderator will be susan page who is the washington bureau chief of usa to.

>> i thought mike pence had a nice night. the trump/pence ticket has not had a lot of good news lately, so mike pence delivered what felt like some relief to the republicans last night. i was watching the debate and i was wondering, is this going to be the first of a few debates we see between kamala harris and mike pence. both have debated, but both obviously have aspirations beyond this particular cycle and maybe we'll see them on the stage together in the future. i thought mike pence had a nice moment when he was talking about civility and talking about rbg and scalia and how that as americans, we can have arguments and disagreements and come together when those are over. i thought that was a nice moment. and when he was doing cyru coronavirus, i was expecting a lot more details, because of pence's hands-on role with the coronavirus. but one thing he did that i liked, and this is something the president has not done very well, is directly acknowledging the sacrifice of the american people, where he said, i see you, i hear y

those are things mike pence will get in there. >> dana: mike pence has the opportunity to draw a contrast tomorrow. the incumbent wants the election to be a choice between two people and not a referendum. mike pence has an opportunity to that. >> bill: we cover this every minute of our breathing lives. 28 days away from an election, there is so little discussion on the issues. if we move the conversation to issues and records, because there is plenty on both sides. kamala harris has a record and so does mike pence. they both have hard-core approximations on the issues of the day. how come we haven't gotten there? >> dana: her position on issues may not be the same for joe biden at the top of the ticket. steve cortez from the trump campaign said this about kamala harris's record. >> kamala harris according to an independent organization for the year 2019, she was the most liberal member of the u.s. senate. to the left of elizabeth warren and even bernie sanders. you have a wide distance between these two folks. >> dana: martha, how does she do that? he has a record and points of view and t

and mike pence obviously didn't shake up the race.had two other goals i think that he probably did okay on. one, keep the debate from becoming all about coronavirus which it wasn't and two, you know, not allowing any wedge to be driven between him and trump. to avoid being put in the position having to contradict in some way the president. you know, the silence of his mind that he doesn't agree with the president, he wasn't able -- he wasn't pinned down on anything where he was forced the defend the president. he allowed light between the two of them. >> you are right. kamala harris only one who hasn't held national office yet up on the stage there. i believe she outperformed expectations and did very well. so, peter, final question. we're now looking at the next debate, donald trump talking about going to that debate. donald trump actually talking about doing a live event when we don't know if the man is still shedding. we still aren't getting a lot of straight answers out of the white house. what can you tell us right now about the

mike pence delivered on that. he did what donald trump didn't do last week which was to prosecute the case on a number of policy areas where if trump had slowed down a little last week, and not been so overly aggressive, he might have been able to do that. pence delivered on that when he came to taxes, the economy, green new deal, trade deals, the court packing exchange was particularly good. so pence came in and delivered solid exchanges and solid wins on all of these issues about which the republicans want the race to be about. whether this moves massive amounts of voters, i don't know. i tend to view through the audience. conservative seniors who have been moving away from the republican ticket would very much have appreciated pence's performance last night. i'll be watching that cohort of voters very closely. i don't know that to make their final decision. pence gave a strong, mainstream view of what this ticket is about. on the other hand, karen finny. >> yes, sir. >> continue. i will stick to the rules and s

it's joe whelmingly mike pence. -- it's overwhelmingly mike pence.bably had a lot to do with attitude. >> i need to correct myself. it's kamala harris. and to hear my own voice say that. but regardless if i pronounce her name incorrectly. voters were upset that with the smirking and the reaction. they want a presidential -- a vice presidential candidate to say what they mean and mean what they say, to answer the questions. they felt mike pence did a much better job at responding to what the questions were. they were not happy he went over his time. but they thought he was vice presidential. they thought he got to the point. they thought he was measured in his presentation. for her they were annoyed she did not answer the question about the supreme court. in fact that's an issue that is still has never been cleared up. what will the democrats do in terms of packing the court? they alouded the vice president fopresident -- they applauded te vice president for pressing for an answer. jesse: real quick, any advice from president trump when he meets joe b

people who say she will take mike pence apart. watch the debate 4 years ago which pence won.nk tonight will be really interesting. >> harris: richard, is this trying to reset expectations for kamala harris and lower the bar a little bit? >> it could be. here's the truth. i agree with guy, this debate is an equal match between senator kamala harris and vice-president pence. they are equally matched. i think this debate will have decorum which will be great to see after last week. this will be the first time the president or the vice-president will face tough cross-examination since the white house has become the newest coronavirus hot spot. with mike pence being the head of the white house task force for covid-19, there will be a lot of questions hurled his way. he has a lot of answering to do to the american people. how is it possible that the vice-president the leader the covid-19 task force his own office is a covid hot spot. that's what americans will be looking for answers to tonight. >> harris: interesting using that terminology. we are not medical doctors so we will say

mike pence. even after 4 years as the vice president a lot of people are still not familiar with them so this was a chance to kind of reintroduce himself to the public i think to voters is a very skilled debater he's a master of spin. and as we heard there he's also develop. unapologetic you know born again christian and it's easy to forget that what makes trump attractive to a lot of people is that he had mike pence at his side you know special conservatives are watching him might make some republicans feel better about voting for trump a 2nd time around you know just one last as a study dependable middle of the road type of my taking this and you know the challenge for pence is recent polls really show that the gap between biden and trump has been whining right so you know results in a note about polls absolutely absolutely but the race is the it's been fairly steady so far recent polls suggesting the biden could be up as you know by double digits i'm not sure the pens managed to really close t

mike pence was calm, informed, and made a lot of sense. a homerun tonight for the trump-pence ticket. then you have lacy clay of missouri. we thought a remarkable contract between kamala harris as compared to mike pence's complicity in the trump covid cover-up, the most incompetent and deadly failure by any presidential administration in u.s. history. marco rubio, republican of florida, said think hard about what you just saw then decide who you want just one heartbeat away from the presidency. that was abin kelly, strong finish by senator harris. i'm proud to support joe biden and kamala harris. host: let's hear from john in memphis, tennessee. john, what did you think of the vice presidential debate? caller: yes, i thought the debate was good. it was refreshing from the week before. democrat untilg around the middle of the obama administration and i got tired of the insidious lies and all of the shenanigans. he was a real slick liar, so i switched over and i've been happy with my republican leanings. you know, it's funny that when talk an

and what do you think mike pence accomplished or didn't last night?irst i'd like to thank you. recognize i'm here because you were unable to book the fly. >> that's true. >> second, like millions of republicans, i woke up wishing that i could vote for the vice president rather than the president. he was simply more disciplined, more methodical, more hinged than the president has ever been in these encounters. and the final thing i think that senator harris, on her first really big stage like this, the first one-on-one nationally televised debate, she was less prepared than i thought she would have been, not on the affordable care act, where she was definitely ready for bear, but in talking about the covid pandemic and the economic crisis that has resulted. the narrative that the vice president laid out on covid sounds very compelling. it is misleading in a number of ways, but senator harris didn't seem to be prepared for the arguments that he was going to make, and he's been making those arguments publicly for quite some time now. so, i think a good d

there's no positive tests says mike pence's press secretary.nvestigation by usa today finds donald trump and other white house insiders infected with covid-19 carried the virus across the country in a matter of days potentially exposing hundreds if not thousands of people as they went about their business at least 6,000 attended meetings, rallies and other gatherings with them within a week of the supreme court nomination ceremony in the white house rose garden. more than 120 people came dangerously close to trump and the others during the week the usa today investigation found. donald trump and his white house doctor are refusing to reveal when donald trump last tested negative for covid-19. that means there is no reason to believe that we know when he first tested positive for covid-19. without making any of the information public tonight, donald trump's doctor who has admitted lying publicly about his patient's treatment said the covid infected president can return to public engagements on saturday. a donald trump super spreader event could

salt lake city, and that's the site of tonight's vice presidential debate between vice president mike pence and senator kamala harris. our live msnbc coverage begins at the top of the hour. pence has the difficult task of defending the indefensible as new polls show the bottom dropping out of the trump campaign. taking republican senate candidates down with them. t "the reidout" continues after this. ...and they found themselves in a magical land. and then what happened? where's our family from? was he my age? so nana and pops eloped? ...and then what happened, daddy? well, before us, there were your great, great, great grandparents. turn questions you've always had into stories you can't wait to share; with ancestry. but we are hoping things will pick up by q3. yeah...uh... boss: doug? sorry about that. umm...what...its...um... boss: you alright?

outclassed by mike pence in every way. he pressed her very courteously on important issues such as was she going to stack the supreme court and just like joe biden refused to answer on fracking, she and joe biden are on record several times saying that they would abolish fracking. abolish oil and gas, etc., coal. and the green new deal is all about that. and yet she was all over the place. she denied it. she didn't give any detail to her denial. so i think the overall impression is this is a very radical agenda being run by two people who don't really know what they are doing. mike pence managed to do that in 90 minutes. i think he should be more on the stage and given the opportunity to tell the american people that this is what they're facing. >> sandra: so many more moments from that debate stage to dig into. we'll do that throughout the hour. great to have you this morning, miranda. thank you. >> trace: this just in. another apparent coronavirus case at the white house. a top security official has been hospitalized sin
