david muir, and his co-moderator had no fact check for her. when she said last night "we're not taking anyones guns away you saw that sound." it was david himself who asked the same thing at the 2020 debate. kamala harris said yes she would get rid of guns and eliminate assault weapons joining us utah congressman jason chaffetz. what was your take on what you saw last night? >> um, look. i think she's a fake. i think when she says her principles haven't changed, i happen to agree with her. when you listen to bernie sanders, say in essence look, kamala harris will say whatever it takes in order to win an election, and let's remember, she didn't get a single vote through the primary, and let's also remember that when she ran for president, in 2020, she started off great, raised a lot of money and then voters on the democratic side of the aisle figured out she was not worth anything and they had her in sixth place in her home state of california and had to dropout of the race because she was polling behind andrew yang, so she may have been able to

here's abc's david muir. >> the deeply personal message released by catherine, princess of wales. her voice narrating a video with her family, prince william and their three children george, charlotte and louis together in the countryside. princess kate revealing she has completed chemotherapy for cancer after sharing her diagnosis with the world just six months ago. >> you lead the way. as the comes to an end, i cannot tell you what a relief it is to have finally completed my chemotherapy treatment. life as you know it can change in an instant. and we've had to find a way to navigate the stormy waters and road unknown. >> it is filming princess catherine saying she is now doing what she can do to stay cancer free. >> doing what i can to stay cancer free is now my focus. although i have finished chemotherapy, my path to healing and full recovery is long and i must continue to take each day as it comes. i am, however, looking forward to being back at work and undertaking a few more public engagements in the coming months when i can. >> ending with a message of gratitude and a messa

so politifact agrees with david muir in this case, we rated that claim pants on fire. that's the lowest rating that we offer at politifact. this is an unfounded rumor. it's spread on social media and somehow it landed in the mouth of the republican candidate for president, the reality here is, is the city, the mayor, the city police, all of all of them say this is not happening, we actually after hearing this claim, we put a fact checker on an airplane. they'll be in springfield later today to report more on this story. donald trump has gone to his truth social account and tried to post some evidence to suggest he's correct, but the evidence he's posted since then is wrong, this attack against haitian immigrants is not really met with any factual evidence, really, to support it. again, an internet rumor that spread all the way to the debate stage last night. but there's no truth to it. >> all right. now let's listen to a clip of kamala harris, her claim about unemployment in the trump era. >> donald trump left us the worst unemployment since the great depression. >> al

david muir owns owes me apology.rather than reporting truth to the american people, is david muir uninformed? we have another report from the new york post, murders on subways are up 60%, what is he talking about, fact checking trump about this. >> either does not know what he's talking about or he's in the tank which most of the media is for the democratic candidates. here is a dirty secret, one third of american cities are not reporting their crimes to the fbi, the fbi switched over to a new system in 2021 in the either chose to not report the stats or they do not have the technology to do so, the blue cities like philadelphia, new york, chicago are not reporting their crimes to the fbi, there is a good statistic out of the department of justice which donald trump quoted was victimization crime and survey which is more accurate and that's with capturing the rises and violent crimes across all of the blue cities. maria: if you are not reporting the crimes then i guess david muir can say crime is down. thank you for

it's the worst but the question is can david muir be fair, tough, and even handed in the debate?n example of how easy it is to do it. everyone is focused on immigration right now. if i were david muir, i would turn to donald trump and say, president trump, you have advocated returning illegals back to mexico. explain yourself. when he did, turn to kamala harris and say vice president harris, what's your response. then say you've advocated de-criminalizing people crossing the border illegally, explain yourself. then turn to donald trump and say president trump, respond. this is very simple and that would be a fantastic debate if they were to do it that way. un-fort fatly t not going to happen. stuart: you can skew the debate by the issues you choose. i'd expect abc tonight to skew heavily in favor of abortion. several abortion questions because they think that's a strong suit of kamala harris and skew the debate like that. >> if you want to address what the american people and voters care about and look at issues where the american people don't have a clear understanding 73% don't

but david muir said exactly, he made the statement from is at record numbers., as you know, the fbi says overall crime is going down in the country. now, anybody that says it is coming down when you look at them i couldn't crime and this does not even include most of the migrant crime. so up 55%, 65%, 75%, 85% 195% on these numbers have just been released by the government. i appreciate the person who released them. i think he came to my defense actually, but the people understand it. in fact ocho he was wrong, the fbi totally fudge the numbers and i believe actually it is a fraud what the fbi did. it is a fraud. and it was a fraud when the administration -- i call it kamala because i don't even know who was her present anymore. where is this guy? they took it away. and overthrow of the president of the united states. this was a coup. we have 14 -- think of it for 2 million votes and no votes but he was the first want to lose against her. they went in and i was 19 points up in the poll and i saw their poll. they went up after the debate was biden and had debate

vasyl, after this, this answer, host david muir immediately said that no, no, he has information aboute fact that the mayor of this springfield, because they really talked about this there, but the mayor of the city went to the journalists and said: " we have a country next to us and there is a president there, whom trump knows very well, he said about it, well, as a self-proclaimed president, dictator putin, well, there they also talk about crucified boys, that the ukrainian army is doing some horrors in kurshchyna there pensions, that is, we know there are such people, but a poll was conducted by several tv channels, in particular , the cnn channel, and according to this poll, conducted among people who watched this debate, 63% of viewers said that they liked kamela garis better, and only 37% said he won the debate. donald trump: harris' apparent victory is notable because the same group of voters said that before this debate they said, well, they think it's going to be 50/50, that 50% donald trump will win and 50% that kamela harris will win, well and even on fox news, and this a tv

but david muir said exactly. i quote, president trump, as you this after i made the statement, crime is at record numbers. president trump, as you know, the fbi says overall violent crime is coming down in this country. now, anybody that says it's coming down when you look at all of the migrant crime and all of the other crime and this doesn't even include most of the migrant crime, so it's up 55, 65, 75 and 85. in one case, one category is up 89%. and these numbers have just been released by the government. i appreciate the person that released them. i think he came to my defense actually. but the people understand it. in fact, it was wrong. the fbi totally fudged the numbers. and i really believe it's actually a fraud. what the fbi did, it's a fraud. and it was a fraud when the when the administration the i call it the kamala, because i don't even know who our president is anymore. where is this guy? they took it away. this was a an overthrow of the president of the united states. this was a coup at 14. think o

so david muir owes me an apology, do you agree? [ cheering ] she lies about everything. >> trace: we are still listening in. we will bring it back to you live. let's bring in former los angeles county gop vice chair and america first works executive director, thank you for coming on here. kamala harris was asked to give specifics on bringing down prices and she instead said this... >> when we talk about bringing down prices and making life more affordable for people, what are one or two specific things you have in mind for that? >> i will start with this, i grew up a middle-class kid, my mother raised my sister and me, she worked very hard. i grew up in a neighborhood of folks who are proud of their lawn. >> trace: the bottom line is, she gave the middle class thing, she got it twice. not one specific did she offer us. >> what we are seeing here is the most dangerous woman in american history. she's selling and dealing people political fentanyl right now. i'm afraid if she gets in the oval office we won't know what we get, what we

i am linsey davis. >> and i am david muir. for watching and from all of us at abc news, good night. >> linsey davis and david muir, wrapping up this presidential debate between former president donald trump and vice president of the united states, kamala harris. you could not have two more different candidates with two more different approaches to the task at hand. i had a television executive once tell me that everything you need to know about a live event on television, you can tell with the sound off and if you have the sound off for this debate, which i'm sure nobody did, what you would've seen his trump looking physically hunched, angry, squinting. i never saw the whites of his eyes the entire debate. shouting. constantly interrupting himself. not just going on tangents, but being unable to finish a thought. seeming very frustrated, very angry, very negative and very tired. in contrast, kamala harris appeared to be light on her feet. quite puzzled by him. the shot of him squinting and hunching and seeming to be having phy

david muir has lost all credibility. the other person, never heard of her, never want to hear of her, she was terrible. i don't know how she ever got her job in the first place. but we have a country to say that we can't have fake news like that. and his ratings deserve to go down. here in new york city an estimated 75% of arrests in midtown manhattan and over 60% of arrests in queens are now illegal aliens. they have given you the fake stories that the illegals coming into the country are much better than our people. they don't commit crimes. these are some of the worst criminals anywhere in the world. and they don't just come from south america. they come from all over the world. the congo in africa, a lot of them coming from the congo. the middle east. asia. they do come from south america, but not all. they are coming from all over the world, and they are and dealing out there jails, and they are emptying out their mental institutions. the money they are saving is beyond belief. and what they are doing to our country

everybody there you go. >> abc's david muir the most watched newscast in america.tz reports from tel aviv. plus, the race to the white house. with just six weeks to go this morning on abc, now from abc, seven mornings. >> good morning. i'm stephanie siera. happening right now. part of i 680 southbound remains closed for construction work. it's happening from el costa boulevard in san ramon to i-5 80 in pleasanton. all i-5 80 and 680 connectors will be open along the right lane. caltrans says the road will reopen by 4:00 tomorrow morning. northbound 680 will remain open . and take a look at this. abc seven news was back on the green for the golf world's biggest and best lgbtq plus event. a few of our crew members were out on the course for sf pride six annual golf tournament. the two day event kicked off with a special awards reception honoring former professional golfer tisha allen. several teams teed off saturday for the tournament at the historic tpc harding park golf course. as of prides golf tournament, as the first ever pga endorsed lgbtq sporting event, and a

that was a question from david muir.seemed unprepared for a way to try to clean up that mess that he made last month. >> it's another missed opportunity, katy. i mean, the people around trump like to boast that they don't prepare for these debates. that he's the most prepared or the most successful or whatever. but there are certain things, being prepared is not bad. and i've never been in a situation where someone has been so happy to be prepared and had not worked behind the scenes to be ready for what is coming their way. no one goes into a situation like this, completely aware or completely prepared if they haven't done any homework. but i want to bring this to where i'm standing today, katy, which is in the capitol. where there are 435 and 220 something house republicans, and a number of senate republicans who will be running on a ticket with a president going into a debate talking about pets being eaten from an online meme. when you talk about top of the ticket pull or drag, if donald trump is losing, as we've seen

is david muir hiding under my desk right now? if so, stay down there, david.too handsome and i don't want the competition. you handsome son of a bitch. trump also complained about the debate at some rallies over the last few days. here he is in tucson, arizona. >> she talked about knowing it was all false, she talked about the charlottesville hoax and these people did nothing about it, which has been totally debunked as they say by snopes and snoops and everything else. go look it up, go to snoops >> stephen: okay, i will. is that true, snoops? >> fo shizzle. >> stephen: it is. you have to give it to them. when he is right, he is right. trump also went after moderator david muir: >> i'm not going to watch him anymore. i'm not going to watch him because he's not legit what he did. i'm not going to watch him. and his hair is not as good as it used to be. >> stephen: okay, i've put up with a lot of despicable nonsense from this clown. but i will not stand by while he attacks david muir's luscious chocolate waterfall. no! it ends tonight! especially, when his own

project 2025 and bloodbath, all provable lies but nothing from david muir and linsey davis.ght as well have been wearing kamala 2024 masks. perhaps the greatest on asked question is how kamala got to be on the stage in the first place. how could the moderators have asked her about why she headed biden's dementia from the american people? it took trump to ask her who was actually running the country right now. what is scary is she did not have an answer for that either. they did not have an answer for kamala harris copy and paste job for her policy agendas on her campaign website. this is the woman who said that i have a plan. it is clear abc [bleep] the american public. i would say hold your applause but i know it is hard. they torpedoed the one opportunity for voters to see who harris really was. now there is no way to judge who won or lost the debate. like trying to guess the price of the painting once you know it is a forgery. that is what this debate was. about as real as rachel levine's periods. the democrats can say they won but the public lost. this was the one chance

. >> announcer: from abc news world headquarters in new york, this is "world news tonight" with david muir. >> david: good evening, and we begin tonight with hurricane helene. an historic and deadly storm making landfall as a major category 4 hurricane. the system carving a path across several states tonight. and it's been deadly. dozens have been killed, and the death toll is rising. there are dramatic water rescues underway as we're on the air tonight. at this hour, what's left of the system is now steamrolling its way across multiple states. the carolinas, virginia, into the ohio valley. the system will then push rain right into the northeast. the devastating storm's reach extending across the south tonight. helicopters rescuing more than 50 people from the roof of this flooded hospital. this is irwin, tennessee. the storm making landfall near perry, florida, with howling winds and blinding rain. drone video showing the widespread devastation tonight in keaton beach, florida. homes leveled, you can see there, in every direction. more than 4 million people without power in seven states t

david muir is a winner. he's a winning in the ratings and i think donald trump wants to be, wants to associate himself. he wants the proximity to the winning qualities of david muir to rub off on him, but he's fully prepping by every time it goes on, talyor when he's talking at his rallies criticizing abc's laying the groundwork just like he has with the election, right? i mean, it's just like what the election well, if i lose is because it was rigged, if i don't come out as a winner in the debate, it's because abc was, weren't against me. like you point out, george stephanopoulos, not the actual debate moderator, right? >> nothing to do with george slop-anopoulos them and you know that commoner is studying all the policy statements and donald, it's just thinking, how can i go on the attack here? and undermine the whole thing? it's an incredible, it's an incredible philosophy. >> and we saw him say, say just as much in his friday news conference where he talked about republicans need to get better at working

david muir and linsey davis l being a story here is a signa sr that they got it all wrong. great moderator isn't mentioned after the debate because it's not to about them. them. you know that abortion question when linsey davis jumped in, kamala immediately said, thank you. i toldkamay cite you he was goia all night. >> she was basically acknowledginlmighty.g that it ws three on one. i thought it was pathetic. i like my ideathough of one.f wt >> each person gets to pick their own questioner of the opposingo pick party. >> i like your idea to show donald trump is going to pick hannity and kamala is going to pick. maddow and you're saying maddow sotse to ask questions of trump and hannity gets to question kamala? >> tell me that wouldn't be actually great television ell mey gets to ask kamala questions that she doesn't want to answer. t trump will answer any willtion from maddow and it'll eliminate the bias and boom, you got a real debate. and guess what? when it's on the economy, when it's on border, whene is it's al on crime. kamala fails the test on all three. that's why t

david muir and linsey davis were pathetic, checks only one to one way against donald trump, david muir davis targeting tight abc disney organization, it was a complete his service to the country. nearly 60 days in, we do not know whether she still supports all of the stated radical positions, positions we have in her own words because why they just hate donald trump that much? kamala harris? kamala harris you don't win a single primary vote as participated in one interview, held zero press conferences, is a policy positions on her website basically copied and pasted from the biden campaign that she says she's trying to distance himself from? with so few specific is divining on the audience, reviews seem to drastically change. for example,, here is kamala harris mandatory gun buybacks, take a look when business about taking everybody's guns away, tim walz and i are both going to owners. your not taking anybody's guns away so stop lying about this stuff. >> i support buybacks. we have 5 million of assault weapons on the streets in america. >> how mandatory are you going buybacks? >> mand

here now david muir and linsey davis. good evening.thank you forjoining us for tonight's abc news presidential debate — not just the first debate for these two as presidential candidates, but the first time these two have ever met. that was about as friendly as it got as they came to debate in philadelphia, the so—called city of brotherly love. not so much. she's a marxist. everybody knows she's a marxist. people start leaving his rallies early out of exhaustion and boredom. but soon they got on to issues such as immigration, a key concern for voters and one that could be a strength for the former president, though he chose to focus on unsubstantiated claims about migrants eating people's pets. in springfield, they're eating the dogs, the people that came in. they're eating the cats. they're eating... the vice president could scarcely contain herself. ..of the people that live there. moderators attempted to fact check the former president on several occasions during the debate. abc news did reach out to the city manager there. he told

abc's david muir and linsey davis will moderate the debate while sitting below a countdown clock facing the candidates. to prepare, harris has spent the past several days in a pittsburgh hotel running mock debates under full studio lighting, briefly stepping in and out of the campaign trail to push her economic agenda and push back against her opponent. >> there is no floor for him in terms of how low he will go, and we should be prepared for that. we should be prepared for the fact that he is not burdened by telling the truth. >> trump has not held mock debates, instead meeting with advisers and going after harris's record as vice president in the biden administration. >> she will be the worst president. he is the worst president in history. she will be worse than him. >> as he rallied voters in wisconsin over the weekend, days before heading to philadelphia. >> is anybody going to be watching? >> no. opening statements to kick off the debate, but there will be closing statements. each candidate gets two minutes. the order was decided by a virtual coin toss. trump won and opted to have

i lost a lot of respect for david muir. he came at me with a lot of things. the fact is the fbi did not report them. we were able to keep the stats essentially flat. but then the numbers came out, i guess somebody in government likes me because the low numbers were just released a see the kinds of numbers we are talking about. they would not only apt, but at record levels like nobody has seen before but everything was included. thanks to kamala, since 2020, crime and drug overdoses here have skyrocketed by 40% and 60%, and murder has reached an all-time high. we don't want this for our country. that's why i in doing this. i don't like doing this, other than that you all have the nicest view you could ever have, but somebody has to explain this. there is a radical-left, communist, fascist as border czar. she lodged a colossal invasion of california southern border. it just yesterday, the wall street journal reported that a venezuelan is expanding its deadly reach in the united states -- gang. first sentence says -- u.s. law enforcement officials have watched w

david muir said we looked into this.e checked with local authorities, it didn't happen and trump's response was i saw it on television. it on television. it was him admitting it is true to him. >> his daughter and grandpa moment. it was really, really, really negative. if he is trying to show himself as a commander president. just as bad when you followed up with him. back and forth with david muir. excuse me. the other moderator. do you have a plan on obama care. >> i have concepts of plans >> what, what if harris would of given that. if she just had a concept without a plan. she would be on the front page of the "new york times," i am looking forward to seeing the coverage. donald trump needs to be covered just as rigorously as voice president harris has been covered. i think she gave clear answers and and waved got her side in there. she found moments to turn to the camera and speak to the people at home. many thmoments from that, that would hope would be turned into ads from the campaign's perspective. the, i am sure

trump only said he wanted the war to end, and as you can see, he didn't answer, so david muir, anchornews, asked the question again, and trump, trump didn't answer. let's listen to the second direct speech of donald trump. i think it's in the best interest of the us to end this war and just end it, make a deal because we have to stop the destruction of all these human lives again there was such a thing that put one at the negotiating table, put the other, i will end this war in 24 hours, no one needs this war, we need to make an agreement, in a word, blah blah blah, which, well, i really want even if donald trump becomes the president of the united states of america, so that this system of checks and balances in the united states of america will work, and he continues to support ukraine, so that we continue to have this bicameral and bipartisan support, but from those answers, which... you heard from donald trump about this support, well, in the end, there are doubts and sometimes even fears that this support, at least from the president, the possible president of the united states of
