he is still upset over this interview with leslie stahl.e emotional support anchors joined in the parade claiming that joe biden was not asked difficult questions during his interview with "60 minutes." >> you give him a layup! you give him an out! why cbs is third at night. >> we should know that jason miller the president's senior adviser at the campaign complimented norah o'donnell. look at the questions he claims so unfair. before i roll the tape, we should note leslie stahl fact-checked his answers to these questions and he lied or dodged and that is not on her but him. >> are you ready for some tough questions? >> should be. it's "60 minutes" he is the president up for re-election in the middle of a pandemic and the troubled economy. >> why do you want this job again? >> that is a basic one and essential one for a presidential candidate or really any job. haven't you been asked that question? i know that i have. >> let me ask you what think your biggest domestic priority is for you right now. >> that is an important question. it's als

leslie stahl. we look forward to seeing her third interview with president trump and subsequent interview with vice president pence this weekend. >>> this all comes ahead of president trump and democratic nominee joe biden's final debate tonight. natalie brand is live in nashville, with what is at stake. natalie? >> well, hi, len. the candidates will have their final chance tonight to make their closing arguments, side by side. and challenge each other. and we have been talking to voters here, who say they have already made up their minds or have already voted. but they still plan on watching this debate. however, they tell us they don't want a repeat of that first presidential debate. they want to see far fewer interruptions. >> the stage is set for the final showdown between president trump and democratic nominee joe biden. plexiglas is visible around the candidate's podiums. and there will also be new rules to try to curb the chaos during their first matchup in cleveland. >> it's like two kinder

president trump sat down with leslie stahl before getting up and saying they had enough material.mpted the president's exit but he is now on twitter seemly attacking leslie stahl for not wearing a mask or something. obviously this is the same president who reluctant to wear a mask and undermining the cause of wearing a mask. i don't know that there is any strategy to this. it just seems kind of like unhinged behavior but what is your take? >> we know president trump when he feels under attack tends to lash out to the person nearest to him. we are less than two weeks out from the election, the administration is feeling pressure given that according to all polls, he is trailing biden right now. so as those around him and as his advisers try to get him to focus on issues that they think would help him with voters we have seen a president over the last few days attack infectious disease expert fauci repeatedly and also now attacking leslie stahl for reasons that we aren't quite sure about just yet. >> i'm trying to figure out, sabrina, what the message is, president's closing argument

. >>> cbs has released clips of leslie stahl's interview with president trump. for all the hubub, they're relatively unremarkable. stahl reminds the president when he goes off track of what the question is. the white house asked for the video for archives, it says. stahl starts the interview with are you ready for tough questions? trump told his supporters it was a very contentious interview. i watched the entire thing. it was unremarkable. time spent with leslie stahl asking why supporters don't wear masks, he says many do, she says many don't, he says many do, she says many don't but that was about it. it was not as contentious as people expected it to be, at least not in my opinion. >> we're glad you watched it for us. thanks, scott. >>> president trump and joe biden go head to head for the last time n case you forgot or chose to forget, we wanted to remind you about what happened in the first presidential debate. >> will you answer that? >> the question is. >> radical left. >> will you shut up, man? >> listen, who is on your list, joe? >> a lot of that. this

leslie stahl was arresting men testify at time dar -- arrestine and times.s still a middle finger for the white house to spoil the exclusive. >> we are all drowning in polls. >> there's a cnn poll that came out wednesday that shows biden leading among seniors by 8 points. >> the latest fox survey of likely voters has joe biden ahead in michigan, pennsylvania and wisconsin. howie: these polls as you know show joe biden leading president trump by an average of about 8 points nationally and ahead sometimes by a few points, sometimes by double digits, in most battleground states. there's a wen survey showing tho men tied in texas. we know most of the media expects trump to lose. i keep reading leaked stories about who will be in the biden cabinet. the new york times said, quote, biden could pull off a landslide in november. journalists have ptsd from 2016 when the time, politico and just about everyone else was wrong about the coming hillary presidency. there are so many variables. 57 million have already voted, covid's impact on in-person voting, the tendency t

we've seen him attack leslie stahl. we've seen him attack kamala harris, and the list goes on and on and on. this is a fundamental issue with this man. when he can't get his way, he throws a tantrum, like a child, and begins to call names. i think it's an affront to children all across america to say they would behave this way. >> in an effort to limit interruptions, as you know, the candidates' microphones will be muted at times during tonight's debate. are you hopeful this will lead to a more substantive debate and less arguing back and forth during that first debate, donald trump interrupting the former vice president almost with every answer? >> i am hopeful. but, again, i want to remind the american people, we're having to change the rules for this man, because he can't abide by decency and common courtesy, even in the midst of a debate. this is really what his presidency has been all about. this man rewrites the rules to his benefit. he shows no empathy, and he can't even behave himself for a couple of hours to ex

the president is warning over twitter i'm pleased to stel you i'm posting my interview with leslie stahlrior to air time so everybody can get a glimpse of what a fake and biased interview is all about. >> i've looked at every single minute of the interview and we have tape of every single minute. when you have a "60 minutes" reporter they should be an reporter and not an opinion journalist and she came more like an opinion journalist than a real reporter. journalism should have standards and we need to get to the bottom of it so i think the american people will be able to see it. >> reporter: for the president the last two weeks of the campaign have become a journey into mr. trump's grievance-filled psyche as he is talking about kristen welker a well-respected nbc news journ journali journalist. >> the fact that kristen welker is a die in the world left democrat or whatever she is. the only thing i say is a little bit sometimes not a team player. but he is a democrat. and i think that he is just fine. >> reporter: and calling democrat joe biden all sorts of things without any proof. >> j

you heard a little bit of it in the response to leslie stahl. the president saying i want the country to get back to a normal life. he said if you re-elect me i will get you back to your noroul life. he set that at advice aside until this week until a couple of people he is familiar with, when his former campaign manager was brought into the campaign nexus. he said you have to talk about getting america back to normal and joe biden. the president has wasted time taking the vying taking the advice he should have taken before. >> do voters care about this issue? >> not really. polling says it doesn't move the needle much. here is what the former vice president said. a commission means you are punting. for democrats, the key is electing joe biden and getting a democratic senate, so if something happens in the supreme court, you can change the law and overset what the supreme court rules. that's where the minds and democratic party are right now. winning the senate and presidency. >> the thinking is most people have made up their minds. with the und

highly doubt leslie stahl or anybody at "60 minutes" has any intellectual curiosity at all about hunter biden and the millions and millions he made without any experience while his dad was the vice president, and connecting them to china and russia and ukraine and kazakhstan. so why is it so important that president trump continue to get his message out via twitter and through his rallies? well, that is my. and tonight, fox news election correspondent and our ownhi lawrence jones was outside the president's rally in erie, pennsylvania, and he joins us with more. lawrence, what is going on? >> good evening, sean. the president was fired up at his rally today. the narrowing on vice president joe biden, flip-flop on fracking. earlier today, i got the opportunity to talk with the president's supporters about fracking, how it affects them, and so much more. watch. >> how do you feel about this race? who is going to pull off the big three in pennsylvania? this is joe biden's home state, so who is it? >> i don't care, it is all about trump, because he cares about everybody. >> fracking has bee

i want to talk about the leslie stahl "60 minutes." i have been involved in those interviews.arly it did not evolve the way you wanted. what happened? brian: the president was quite happy with it. he likes to joust and likes hostile interviews. he wants to make sure he gets a fair shake and there is no deceptive editing, and his full answers are reported because he is quite proud of them. ist is really what this about, holding the press accountable and making sure reporting is fairly represented and representing his answers. david: that is brian morganstern, the press secretary. tonight is the second and last presidential debate. with president trump looking to make up some lost ground in what see in the polls, if we can trust that. steyer.us is tom thank you for being with us. what is it like to debate against joe biden? what advice would you have for joe biden tomorrow? tom: i think that joe biden is a very calm, confident debater. i think he comes through as what he is, which is somebody that really cares about the american people. he doesn't get too complicated. he sticks

our tough guy who runs away from leslie stahl and florida man that has proven he can't dance. incumbents president of the united states would be maximizing his incumbency would be stepping out a vision of the next four years would be bragging about his record and instead what do you have? you have donald trump out there flailing, insulting, and tweeting and so, yeah, even some of the most reliable republicans in america are going, no, we can't do this again. we can't take another four years. >> i mean, let me just follow up with you, charlie. here is a list of all of the endorsements that go farther than a lot of these folks and institutions went four years ago when they didn't enthusiastically support hillary clinton. but they didn't like trump but they didn't go all in for hillary clinton. i think the wassermann tweet is important in pointing out the ways that the data doesn't look like it did four years ago. but the anti-trump republican movement is now operationalized. it is now in the business of moving vote from republican columns into the biden column. and in ways that

i've lost the thread on what they think they got leslie stahl on.nd people are tired of covid, and that's because trump has not protected us from the pandemic. they're not even really making an argument to persuade the biden voter to vote for them instead. why not? >> yeah, nicole, what the president is putting out there is just a huge bucket of drama, vitriol, and grievance. it's confusing to us journalists, and it's our job to follow what he says. it's got to be confusing for a voter who tunes in here and there, what is his argument? it's all over the map, a lot of grievance and anger at the media. it was guthrie, then it is stahl, no doubt it will be welker as she moderates the debate tomorrow night. and in erie, it was biden is a communist, a marxist, and he's controlled by the radical left. it's not even a coherent argument about why voters should not vote for biden if they're planning to, and shift to president trump. strategically, the law of campaign politics would suggest that will not work. but then again, donald trump is donald trump, and

. >> but when "60 minutes" and leslie stahl are too tough for you, you ain't all that tough. >> now, another white house staffer who recently contracted the coronavirus, kayleigh mcenany, the white house pres secretary, she's seeing some of her past comments come back to haunt her. back in 2015, she praised them vice president joe biden as somebody who was likable, who resonates with the middle class. here's some of those comments that we have uncovered by our colleague, andrew kaczynski. >> i think the republicans run into a problem if it is joe biden and if it is maybe trump on the other side because joe biden, one of the things he is remarkable at is really kind of being a man of the people. and resonating with middle class voters, feeling like coming off as human. his gaffe, as much as we make fun of them, to a certain extent, they make him look human. in that sense, he's likable. >> as president trump is wrapping up this event in pennsylvania, he's not the only person out on the campaign trail today. vice president mike pence is also holding rallies despite the fact that some of

because jump will be making the argument about the economy that we heard with leslie stahl and that the nation is in good shape. and if that goes unchecked then trump could get away with it. that's biden's most important, provide the reality check. >> last hour, hallie jackson tried to narrow it down on the rules of the debate and he never answered that question. ne what about the importance of this, joe biden has been off the campaign trail prepping for this. he's had president obama on the trail, we'll discuss that later in the hour. president trump has been campaigning hot and heavy all week long. how much do you think in-person visibility matters at this point in the campaign? >> well, the most important moment in the fall of any election are the debates. it's been true for -- really, almost every election. it's far more important to do well in the debate than a campaign rally here and there. more people will watch these debates in the spring states and see anything that donald trump says. i think what we learned last time that preparation really does help. so i think the idea that

but joe biden and then you have a lot of the piece on "60 minutes" was about president trump and leslie stahlalking out but the interview with joe biden and kamala harris that nora o'donnell did, take a listen to one little click here. >> or you going bring the policies, those progressive policies that you supported as senator into a biden administration? >> i will give him that perspective it always be honest with him. >> and is that a socialist or progressive perspective? >> no. [laughs] no. it is the perspective of a woman who grew up a black child in america who was also a prosecutor who also has a mother who arrived here at the age of 19 from india, who also likes hip-hop. [laughs] what you want to know? >> bret: what did you make of that interview? i thought nora o'donnell did a nice job pressing on substance, but it's really some of the more pointed questions that senator harris has received since becoming the nominee. >> it was kind of a demonstration of how few questions she's gotten since being a nominee in any capacity that really challenged her. she seemed to be genuinely surprise

president trump railed against "60 minutes" and its host leslie stahl on tuesday after he cut short an interview with the cbs news program at the white house. after the interview, trump tweeted -- "for the sake of accuracy in reporting, i am considering posting my interview with lesley stahl of '60 minutes,' prior to airtime! this will be done so that everybody can get a glimpse of what a fake and biased interview is all about." separately on tuesday, trump ordered attorney general william barr to lach a probe of the bidens over unverified claims of corruption tied to hunter biden's time spent on the board of a ukrainian oil company. this is trump speaking on fox news tuesday. >> will you be appointing -- pres. trump: we have to get the attorney general to act. he has to act fast. iesco point somebody. this is major corruption and this has to be known about before the election. amy: the fiancÉe of the slain washington post columnist jamal khashoggi has filed a civil lawsuit in washington, d.c., against saudi crown prince mohammed bin salman for ordering his torture and killing two year

. >> when "60 minutes" and leslie stahl are too tough for you. you ain't all that too tough. if you've got to walk out of a "60 minutes" interview then you're never going to stand up to a dictator. [ horns honking ] >> if you're spending all your time complaining about how mean reporters are to you, you're not going to stand up to putin. >> while obama was in florida joe biden held had a musical rally in lucerne county pennsylvania, a county that president trump friday in 2016. biden trying to make a play for those biden and obama counties and both had a message when it came to early voting. they have tleempd point in the campaign where the biden campaign is really focusing on turnow. arlette saenz, cnn, miami, florida. >> from the sunshine state to the empire state, people are taking advantage of early voting in, no. this is actually the first year that voters can cast ballots early in that state for a presidential election. >> yeah. i mean, in new york city alone, look at the lines! more than 93,000 people voted yesterday. i mean, look at that. they were wrapping around pol

reporter: trump spent part of his morning attacking cbs news' flagship "60 minutes" program, accusing leslie stahl of constant interruptions and anger and calling his answers magnificently brilliant after they release this had clip. >> we created the greatest economy on the history of the country. >> you know that's not true. >> it is totally true. virtually every number was the best. we had the best economy ever. >> i asked you, what's the priority? those are all the good things. what do you have to solve? >> the priority now is to get back to normal. get back to where we were. >> reporter: trump abruptly ended that interview. and today, before heading to nashville for the debate, he broke an agreement with cbs and released a 38-minute clip of the interview ahead of sunday's air date. >> the question is -- >> radical left. >> will you shut up, man? >> reporter: after turning the first debate into a fiasco with his constant interruptions, president trump now faces his last best chance to change the race. this time, trump is being advised to lower the temperature, to appear less angry and deploy se

in an interview that aired last night on "60 minutes," president trump criticized correspondent leslie stahl former vice president, joe biden. said trump, "why didn't you ever ask biden about his past four years as president?" president trump and first lady melania trump held a halloween at the white house event yesterday. melania dressed normally but i'm not sure who that was dressed as melania. that's a normal thing, right just a normal, cool thing. at the end of his rally in ohio this weekend, president trump danced to the village people song, "ymca," but not the dance you'd expect ♪ it's fun to stay at the ymca ♪ >> seth: why aren't you doing the letters? trump's the only person on earth who'd make up his own dance to "ymca. after this, they played "the macarena," and trump just did the charleston that's right, trump once again danced to the village people song, "ymca," because nothing ticks all of trump's boxes like a song about gay men partying together in low-income housing at a campaign event in maine yesterday, president trump signed a pumpkin, so if someone could write a stimulus b

leslie stahl is not going to be happy. >> reporter: before his rally, he cut short an interview with "60 minutes" on tuesday at the white house, saying he's considering releasing the interview before it airs. "60 minutes" said the white house asked to record the interview only for its archives. the program has a long history of interviews with presidential candidates, asking those key questions in the run-up to an election. >> and of course you can watch "60 minutes" on sunday. paula, thank you very much. now, we mentioned that the president is t trailing here in pennsylvania and that has been true for months now. tonight joe biden will ghets get from firepower, will be will hit the campaign trail in person for the first time in philadelphia. i was wondering when we would he see the former president. >> and the latest sign of how important a swichk staswing sta pennsylvania is, former president obama makes his in-person debut holding what they are calling a drive-thru rally. and they will honk in afternoon roofl. a reminder that swing states like this one will determine who wins the

started the day by talking about bringing somebody who will attack hunter biden and by attacking leslie stahlat is his message going to the debate. so if you are joe biden, you have to feel good you have a scattered opponent who has no idea what he's going to say tonight. >> i asked a trump adviser today if he could remember the last time donald trump had spent a 24 hour news cycle attacking joe biden and he couldn't remember, couldn't remember. because hunter biden isn't on the ballot last time i checked. so there is scatter shot attacked at hunter biden but they're diluted by a four day smear campaign against tony fauci that started on sunday night with fauci's interview. it didn't abate until wednesday. and then he spent today on 60 minutes, releasing video of a video recorded interview. i'm not sure what the real genius tactic was there. when do you think the trump campaign will turn their focus to the person on the ticket? >> ostensibly tonight he'll go offer biden and that is one-on-one. and you hit the nail on the head, this is scatter shot but also lacking a sustained attack on the op

still on the record last night saying untrue things about testing and he's very open, he was with leslie stahl on "60 minutes" that testing is bad because it brings up the number of cases. he literally does not want to screen the population so he can bring the spread down. >> that's been from the beginning when he didn't want the sick covid passengers from the cruise ship to come off board because then they'd be in the country and the country's numbers would go up. i want to show you kristen welker's final question last night because if any moment encapsulated the evening, this one did. >> the other side wanted to get together, they wanted to unify. success is going to bring us together. we are on the road to success, but i'm cutting taxes and he wants to raise everybody's taxes and he wants to put new regulations on everything. he will kill it. if he gets in, you will have a depression the likes of which you've never seen. your 401ks will go to hell and it will be a very, very sad day for this country. >> i will say i'm an american president. i represent all of you, whether you voted for me o

threatening to release ahead of sunday's broadcast what he calls the full interview, he's been attacking leslie stahlho did that interview. aides around the president have been frustrated with him saying he needs to be focused on the economy, the one issue that they feel is a winning issue for him. >> he's been taking off on all kinds of people. so many are hurting as well. cecilia, looking for economic relief and in those stimulus negotiations kind of mixed messages. sneaker nancy pelosi and secretary mnuchin encouraging signs but mitch mcconnell saying, not so fast. >> reporter: yeah, this reportedly happened behind closed doors. he's telling his republican caucus that he's warned the white house not to go ahead with any kind of deal with pelosi before the election. there's some fear there that a deal like this could hurt vulnerable republicans up for re-election 2in the senate. but as you said it, george, they are up against the clock and pelosi says they need to have a deal worked out by the end of the week in order for this to happen. >> cecilia vega, thanks very much. third and final presidenti

leslie live stahl shouldn't have to. in fact, all of the people who dedicate themselves to either reporting the news or saving lives by following the science and counseling people like me, none of us should have to deal with that. and we deserve better as a nation. i've never lost sleep based on worry about my personal safety because i've got the michigan state police thankfully. but the fact of the matter is what i do lose sleep over is we have an administration in washington, d.c. that has never gotten their arms around covid-19. there are 225,000 americans who have died, tens of millions who are unemployed, people in food lines who never imagined that they would have to do that. we are in crisis as a nation. and it is my hope that we elect an incredibly decent person with some expertise and some empathy who has got a plan to get us out of this mess and get us back to work, and that's joe biden. >> governor, be safe and well. thank you so much. >> thank you. >>> now i want to get to the breaking news in el paso, texas,
