not only do you have harris here, you have trump here, you have tim walz here, you have gwen walz here. you have jd vance here it's not stop. >> yeah. >> and look, charlie trump brought elon musk on stage with him yesterday. we've seen a lot of celebrity endorsements for both campaigns lately, but in a new marist poll, 86% of voters polled said there was nothing that could change their mind about their pick for president. do you think celebrity endorsements, including musk, can still have an impact on this race. and what do you think might get that remaining 14% to make a decision one way or another? >> well omar i never, i've always been one who's never believed that celebrity endorsements really mean that much. i, i always kind of thought there like consolation prizes. now i might make an exception for taylor swift because she is a cultural icon, icon. so she might have an impact. but by enlarge, i would say absolutely, there's no real benefit there's a small number of persuadable voters out there, many of whom are being motivated, we think by economic issues and so to the extent tha

answered every question at the debate and you didn't go poopy in your little pants, and then you know, gwen walzn she was like, turn the page, turn the page. and it's like, did they lobotomize democrats? you see that on tiktok, though, the way that tiktok liberal activists are on there and they talk to people like they're really stupid and it's supposed to be really funny. guess what? yeah, they're stupid and it's not funny. yes. good segue to michael hahahahahahahahaha. oh. unfair. wait a second. has the democratic party been just by silly people in general? it's not just women, it's preschool teachers. yeah, and this one's terrifying. she's. i didn't know she was an ob gyn. so she's a jedi knight and a ob. okay, that's that's terrifying for an ob gyn. yeah. da da da da da da da. scoot down. now. it's gonna be a little cold. you might feel a little pressure. okay. how do you know this? yeah, i was just going to say. hey, look at me. never mind. it is. you always should. like. like the liberals and the democrats. they want the government to be the parent. and now we're. we're witnessing it like

usha vance and gwen walz.em as evenly matched because they are so different. so different on style and substance. very interested to hear from the spin room, to hear from all of my colleagues to get to all of the analysis we are going to get to. i think the big picture take away on this is that one of these candidates is much more slick. a much more practiced, professional debate style speaker and the other candidate one. there was one bad moment for tim walz in this debate where he got mixed up and embarrassed in answering a question about exactly what month he had been in china in relation to the tiananmen square protest. but then on guns, on january 6, on obamacare, on the economy, on blaming everything on the border, back again on healthcare, on abortion, on every issue on substance. j.d. vance was very polished and very slick and tim walz beat him on all the substantive points. at least that was my take on it. i do think that there was one very blunt, very easily disproven lie on a very important issue th

. >> reporter: after the debate, vance sat for a cable interview while walz and his wife gwen grabbed pizza. we've talked about this before, right, the fact that these vp debates don't typically move the needle for a presidential election. again, the big difference with this one is these two under card members of their tickets might be the ones who have the last word at least in this type of back and forth because as of now there is not another debate scheduled between the presidential nominees. those are going to be on the campaign trail the next couple of days. >> jarred hill, thank you so much. >>> and a programming note for you. "60 minutes" will air a primetime election special on monday, october 7th, at 8:00 p.m. for more than half a century, "60 minutes" has invited the democratic and republican tickets to appear on its broadcast. vice president harris will speak with bill whitaker after initially accepting "60 minutes'" request for an interview with scott pelley. former donald trump's campaign has decided not to participate. the original "60 minutes" invitation to trump stands

tim walz and his wife gwen had their children after years of fertility treatments and it is somethingtionally on the campaign trail and jd vance has accused him walz of lying about how his children were conceived and stay classy, senator. but i just want to highlight this and i think the harris- walz campaign has shown even with advertisements like this one, arguably their best out of the whole election so far, already showing that fertility treatment is deeply personal the so many american families and also incredibly potent as a political issue. so it is a sleeper, but one to watch for tomorrow night at the debate. we will be right back. it's nice to know yoree to focus on what matters, with reliable medicare coverage from unitedhealthcare. ♪♪ leo! he's there when we wake up, he's there when we leave, he's there whenever we come back home from school, he's just there always. mash it up doofus. ever since we introduced him to the farmer's dog, his quality of life has been forever changed. he prefers real, human-grade food. it's... ...like real food! it is! he's a happy dog now. he's

. >> governor tim walz and his wife, gwen, getting some pizza , i think i know where that is. secret service around. we think that candidates are staying overnight before heading out on the trail. it is called justino's, i'm told. what did you think of the debate >> well, rachel, look. >> yes mark >> debates are about performance, and they are about policy. and why this debate was very important is that there are many americans out there not just moderate republicans there are based democratic voters that need to hear more. i think it is very fair for people to want to criticize those to say what more do you need? you can do that, but that is the reality, so if you are trying to win their votes you have to meet them where they are. there were so many niceties on that debate stage tonight, i kind of like well if you agree so much with jd vance why should they vote for you ? i fully believe that governor walz did what was practicing debate prep. that was not the governor walz that i've seen on the campaign trail but that was not the governor walz that i've seen, that was not the

vice president harris' running mate minnesota governor tim walz and his wife gwen cast their ballots. this comes as we have new comments from the vice president as she sat down with nbc news. she spoke with hallie jackson about issues, including if she would pardon donald trump if he's convicted. >> would you consider a pardon for donald trump? >> i'm not getting into hypotheticals. i'm focussed on the next 14 days. >> the telemundo correspondent asked the vice president about trump's various attacks on her. >> president trump has defined you as an extreme socialist that will destroy this country. where do you stand -- how do you define yourself, as a progressive, social list, as a mother? how do you define yourself? >> i'm a capitalist. i'm a pragmatic capitalist. >> with us now are the journalists who conducted these interviews. nbc's senior washington correspondent hallie jackson and telemundo news anchor, two colleagues i admire and love. hallie, what were your main takeaways from this interview with the vice president. >> reporter: it's great to see you, jose, and julio as well.

walz cast his ballot alongside his wife gwen and son gus.rters afterwards, the governor slammed former president trump's alleged praise of adolph hitler. >> and i think for many of us the last 24 hours certainly have been a bit shaky with the reporting coming out in the atlantic. donald trump's dissension into madness and john kelly who i thank for showing the courage to come forward. donald trump made it very clear this is an election about donald trump taking full control of the military to use against his political enemies, taking full control of the department of justice to prosecute those who disagree with him. taking full control of the media on what is told and what is told to the american public. and the opportunity here and the absolute requirement of americans is to understand that this rhetoric has not been used in this country, certainly not by a party's presidential nominee. >>> next up here we'll turn to sports with highlights from night two of the nba season, which included two former league mvps facing off. plus we'll show yo
