walter mondale was a very good american. a good patriot.elpful with my book. but he did believe fervently in the uses of government to solve people's problems. and therefore, that made him an insider. ronald reagan was always an outsider to the system. you know, you think about issue issues, he always went against the establishment, the status quo on defense initiatives. on gorbachev, on tax cuts, on so many issues, write down the line through his eight years. he never saw himself as being part of what he called the washington buddy system. he was always an outsider. and he ran in 1984 as an outsider as a reformer to the washington buddy system. >> craig shirley are our guest taking your phone calls. edward starting with bob on california on the line to support president trump in the election 2020. bob go ahead. >> caller: i think president trump make a good leader i think he will be even better than reagan. i voted for reagan but he thought he was rather liberal and some of his actions. what she proved by leaving all these illegals overeat

[laughter] ainsley: brett, even mondale is laughing. good. >> mondale knew he had been had. at that moment it was game over not just for that debate but the campaign. the question of the campaign was whether or not ronald reagan was up to the task. he had had a poor performance in their first debate and everyone was questioning whether or not ronald reagan was too old for office. that one line made it effective argument. it was the moment of the debate. it was a -- the message that they wanted to push in the debate and so, reagan was able to capture both the message and the moment of the debate to drive what they needed to, which was he was very much up to the task and he went on to defeat mondale very handily in the 1984 election. ainsley: brett o'donnell, thank you so much for being with us. >> thank you. ainsley: we'll be back later in the week to discuss what happens tomorrow night. thank you. >> you are welcome. ainsley: andy mccabe both set to testify about the russia probe in two weeks. what questions does dan bongino want them t

plan to tax or increase taxes i'm not going to be increased taxes i can understand why you want mr mondale because as a senator you voted 16 times to increase taxes those credit you said there you go again. right remember the last time he said that. you said it when president carter said that you're going to cut medicare and you said oh no there you go again mr president and what did you do right after the election you went out and tried to cut 20000000000 dollars out of medicare thank you thank you and so when i when you say there you go again people remember this obviously president reagan did recover in my voting lifetime only 2 presidents have been voted out of the white house a jimmy carter and bush sr a clear how big a deal how big an advantage is trumps and compensate this time well i think it's probably a good. he has the ownership are what's happened in iraq for years and more and are in this case i think it's really at a disadvantage with. work so i think he doesn't have it rally it's the new white house in the background we can why that is why i'm actually right they bring them

49 of 50 states in 1980 the one lone holdout was minnesota which voted for minnesota native walter mondale but trump gave them a scare 4 years ago he lost this state by just 1.5 percentage points and he did it largely in 2 areas in the suburbs and in the iron range in the northern mining part of this state and that's where both candidates are speaking today joe biden has already spoken and they both want to make sure that they win this state biden wants to hold a reliably democratic state trump wants to make sure that if he loses one of the other battleground ground states like pennsylvania ohio michigan that he could still have a path to victory so the 2 men are here trump in one format speaking as he does with hundreds or thousands of people few of them wearing masks he certainly doesn't wear one that's a statement of his confidence that to covert is not as big a risk as some other people think biden on the other hand just taking off his mask to speak in a socially distant smaller group of union carpenters earlier today and his main message was that while donald trump is the candidate of

it's not like mondale or reagan or obama and romney. they were both interrupted too much. biden didn't do so well. he looked frail standing up there. i don't go that far. >> harris: you brought this up. biden distanced himself from the bernie sanders wing of this party last night as president trump accused biden of pushing a far left platform. watch. >> no, i don't support the green new deal. >> that's a big statement. >> [overlapping talking]. >> you agreed with bernie sanders. >> [overlapping talking]. >> on the far left on the manifesto. socialized medicine. >> hey. the fact of the matter is i beat bernie sanders. >> not by much. >> by a legal of a lot. >> let him speak, mr. president. >> he just lost the left. you just lost the left! >> harris: is the president right? did he just lose the left? what does that mean? will they just sit home in that's true? >> oh, left doesn't like joe biden but they hate donald trump. i think there is no losing the left for joe biden this year. what the president can do is show that biden is so far to the left that it helps the president

. >> they tried it with water mondale who proceeded to lose 4 states pretty only one his home state ofinnesota. reagan destroyed this when they tried were going to hype your taxes. this is where i think in these closing days of the election i' a conservative, i'm not a journalist, i am in opinion maker here on the channel. i support the president because he's the conservative candidate. why think even i felt a little bit as we use the words about biden which are accurate, and their right, biden may have painted himself as a moderate i the past, but certainly isn't anymore. i don't think we put meat on th bone and made it bleed for people commit made them feel it. if you want to understand what you he is going to do to you. your taxes will go up. you have a tax cut under president trump, between three and four percentage points of your income. he has pledged multiple times t take that away meaning your take-home pay and your money is going bye-bye. make it about character or whatever you want. joe biden's infamous character is not going to pay your bills. if your kids are in a charter s

this is not gore versus bush or clinton versus bush or mondale versus reagan. can't remember.be. the dems and the media have portrayed this election as good versus evil. it's been said that way on this show, which means that if trump wins, if nancy is wrong, it's almost required that the good take to the streets and punish the evil. because this is the terminology that is being used by the media, talking heads, entertainers, anchors, house and senate democrat leaders. so we have to -- this is why i say the media and our leaders have to come together and discuss a way to diffuse this situation. we only have 50 days. we've been using demonic language to marginalize half the country. they're going to get hurt if trump wins. i will put my life savings on that. we'll have to start thinking about that now. >> jesse: i will protect you, greg. >> greg: i hope so. cradle me in your arms, jesse. >> dana: after you protected that lady at dwayne reed -- i don't know. >> kennedy: as long as greg has a white cloth, he's fine. >> dana: a teen arrested after doing remote learning. he showed u

walter mondale was the senior senator and he was treated like somebody who was just starting.e was given no respect. he found his own way and with a short time he was working on bills again and he passed a couple of different bills during that time. he got back into it. >> us take a call from michigan. hello, amy. >> my question is sent senator humphrey served during the mccarthy of -- era, what was his relationship with jobs and courtney? >> that is a with a complicated question. he tried to pass something called the communist control act were to try to make it illegal to be communist. that was done in some part because he was trying to make joe mccarthy -- to bring the truth out and force his hand so he would have to prove somebody was a communist and would be illegal. he could not be quite so passe about it or blase about how he attacked people. he would have to incriminate them. that was a bad plan. it did not work. he did not like joe mccarthy or any of his tactics. he did not like anything about what he did. >> we just have two minutes left. he was very ill toward the en

in 1976, research shows that the vice presidential debate between walter mondale and bob dole made ofeneral election. 1982 i don't think anybody has any doubt that bill clinton's and those debates with george herbert walker bush and ross perot made a difference. in 2016, hillary clinton, by every scientific poll and i'm going to disagree with my friend karl rove, won all three of those debates overwhelmingly but she didn't win the electoral college so didn't move the needle enough. they can matter. they often don't matter. >> bill: yeah. the first couple coming down on air force one. robert, you counseled many democrats. if you are to counsel joe biden tonight, what would you tell him? >> these two candidates will be debating on completely different playing fields. donald trump will be talking about the scourge of immigration as he sees it. people coming to your neighborhood. socialism. bernie sanders and aoc. i hope and trust joe biden will be talking about the pandemic, the terrible devastation this economy has taken, the racial injustice, and climate change and other such issues. b

strongest candidate for re-election heading into a first debate, ronald reagan '84 against walter mondalell clinton in '96 ahead of bob dole by 20. it starts to get closer when you look at bush and kerry in 2004, bush came in ahead by 6. kerry by most accounts won that first debate, race tightened even more after that, 2012, obama romney came into that debate, obama was clinging to a three-point lead. an incumbent who was trailing, jimmy carter, 1980, a week before election day, by the way this 1980, reagan/carter, the last one in cleveland, last general election debate in cleveland before tonight. that's the debate where reagan got those lines off, there you go again, blew the race open in the last week. that's a debate that made a big difference and then you get to where trump is right now, he's down 8 points coming into tonight's debate, there's only one modern incumbent who has come in down by a larger margin than this in their first debate, 28 years ago, 992, george h.w. bush, down double-digits, clinton he was running against and also perot, the last incumbent to come in behind and

baker almost got in trouble when he screwed up his 1984 initial debate against mondale.to recover and to win in a landslide re-election victory but he didn't do very well. and there's a long history. remember, even barack obama did not do very well in his first debate against romney when he was running for re-election. donald trump has famously been saying he doesn't care very much about preparing for tonight's debate. he hasn't been closeted doing it very much, and you know, it will be interesting to see, he didn't really have any primary debate season this time. you had no significant challengers, whereas joe biden went through the rigor of a whole bunch of debates. many of them cacophonous. we'll see if trump is ready for it. many incumbents aren't. >> and then the supreme court. which is, you know, a late-breaking, big issue, of course, with the death of ruth bader ginsburg, the appointment last weekend of amy coney barrett and her appearance already in the senate today, this rapid timetable. peter, president trump's nominee for the supreme court is very, very conser

reagan of course crushed carter in 1980 and then he crushed mondale in 1984. but after that, for over three decades, we had middle-of-the-road candidates who weren't all that far apart on most of the issues and under the circumstances, it's not surprising that we grew accustomed to soporific debates. but the stakes in 2016 and the stakes in 2020, they are really, really big, lots of money and lots of power and lots of freedom. it's all up for grabs. and both sides are extremely concerned about who's going to win. this is 1996. it's not even 2004 or 2012. we have monumental choices to make some folks are really going to lose a lot. under the circumstances, the traditional model for presidential debates doesn't work very well. that's a model designed to tease out minor distinctions and quibble over small points. it's not really designed to handle that type of dramatic disagreement that we saw tonight and in our politics today. but what we need now is a model that gives the candidates more time to explain their views and the layout for voters what's really at sta

>> maybe it has to be done -- gary hart was on our program talking about he was -- he and walter mondale were the last two survivors of the church committee, but they unearthed a lot of evil stuff, assassinations, and it's got to be put out. but at the very moment we're in, president trump likes to say, i have power that nobody knows about. you don't know about. i can do -- after declaring a national emergency and gary hart said we better find out and talk about it. what are those secret files -- secret powers? i want to credit your friend and mine, alexander who told me you want to sea a real writer go get mezzanine by a guy named nicholson baker and i did and he was entirely write. i rejoice and having read i think all of your books and getting to know you, ten more of these interviews and we'll get to know each other. >> well, i want to say i've learned a huge amount from you and every time we talk i feel i'm getting closer to understanding myself and the out world. so thank you. i want to say one tiny victories, here is a redacted document that i debt with for ten years, right? it's

in 1984, the league had allowed the candidates, reagan mand mondale, to have a veto over anyone who suggested to be the moderator or on the panel. moderator those days, asked the questions. veto100 journalists would -- would be vetoed ida candidates. a commission was created that was part of georgetown university, and other was at the kennedy school at harvard. both commissions were composed of journalists, college professors, some candidates, some politicians and they studied the question how we can do a better job electing president. most of them independently came to the conclusion that there should be created a separate entity that exists for one purpose only, to ensure the general election debates are held every four years. at that time i was chairman of the republican national committee, and we got together and the net result was re-created the commission on presidential debates. we have done all 30 debates since 1988. problems we always have is the moderators. result of the mixing of things, we have taken the position that we cannot allow the candidates to pick the moderators. we spend

democratic nominee for president than minnesota, 1972, the last time a republican carried minnesota mondale '84, his home state. hallie, let me bring you in. the backdrop for this campaign, a campaign like no other, the pandemic we've been tracking the count, the tally of americans that have lost their lives, now approaching 200,000. there is the lockdowns, there's the question -- there's just this overhang of truly, truly terrible stuff how that is affecting the campaign that we're about to see unfold in the coming weeks and how the president, the incumbent president on whose watch this has happened, how he is incorporating this in his message and his bid for another four years >> there's a couple of things here i was talking with a campaign source about this, got off the phone with somebody who said, listen, the president is going to make the case that he is the best one to bring the country out of the pandemic. he's going to remind people, as he's been doing all along, steve, through the pandemic, that the economy was doing well prior to the pandemic hitting. they're feeling like the pre

because in 1984, the league had allowed the two candidates, reagan and mondale, to have a veto over anyone who is suggested to be either the moderator or on the panel. usually in those days it is the moderator and three reporters who ask the questions. with vtecournalists -- were vetoed by the two candidates. as a result of that, two commissioners were created, when part ofsis when it was georgetown university, and the other was kennedy school at harvard. both commissions were composed of journalists, of college professors, some candidates, some politicians, etc., and they studied the question of how we can do a better job of electing our president. both of them independently came to the conclusion that there should be created a new separate entity that exists for one purpose and one purpose only, to ensure that the general election debates are held every four years. at that time i was chairman of the republican national committee, and paul kirk was chairman of the democratic national committee. we got together, and the net result was we created the commission on presidential debate, and w

holdout was minnesota which voted for minnesota native at the time who was running against him walter mondale but trump gave them a scare last time around he almost won this state losing it by 1.5 percentage points any gain votes in the rural mining area known as the iron range that's where both of these candidates are appearing right now trump was sort of touting the every man the forgotten person and a lot of people there felt like that described them so both candidates are there and joe biden has just spoken he started just a little while ago when wrapped up not too long ago little over an hour ago and said. trump is the candidate of wall street he's given big tax breaks he's always telling a wall street gains and recently said everyone is invested in wall street well that's not true 40 percent of the american public is not invested in stocks and biden says he is the main street candidate and we've been seeing that today is the 1st day the polls are open for voting in the u.s. in such states what are you been hearing from voters who've chosen to come out early and vote. that's right these

after walter mondale heard reagan's famous zinger, he said he knew he had lost the election.sident in the clinton administration. i began by asking laura whether because of the current polling, the first debate wasjoe biden's to lose. when you are on top, the first thing is do no harm. if you can come out of the debate in the same standing as he's gone, he has won. it is all in expectations game and joe is a bit of a slower guy. it is interesting then because the summer trump has been going afterjoe and calling him sleepyjoe and top king about him being senile and cognitively slow. so trump has set the bar really low forjoe biden. he just needs to come out and say a few things and leave. i think he just needs to stick to his strong message and just be who he is because right now he is beating trump in the character race but i think he has got to take his strength up a bit and address the american people about what he will do going forward to come off with a big win. and randi reed, if trump comes behind in the polls he needs to do something that tv debates does delete. that i

he was up against gary hart and former vice president walter mondale. george mcgovern got kudos for being a thoughtful presence. he got credit for trying to heal some of the wounds within the party. he maintained a very active life in public affairs, going back to this passion for addressing world hunger. with bill clinton, he helped work on the world food program, which helped to feed many people. under and nutrition remains his passion today, as well he did hunter -- hunger and nutrition remains his passion today, as well as reminding people of liberal values. >> thank you very much. i think you guys have done your studies. i want to just remind everybody to remember george after "losing" and election. i do not think he lost. i think he moved on to be much better things, like you folks were just talking about with the world hunger program. george has survived wars, being in antiwar person yet willing to step up for our country. i think he is a great peacekeeper, and he understands world politics like we do not understand. my question is, for our count

even when he ran for reelection in 1984, he was fortunate to run against senator walter mondale who wasltimate insider and had been since he went to the senate in the 1960's and he was jimmy carter's vice president. he never cast himself as anything but a believer and he was a good man. he was a good american, a good patriot. i once interviewed him for a lengthy period of time and he was utterly charming and helpful with my book. fervently in -- believed fervently in the uses of the government to solve people's problems, which made him an insider. ronald reagan was an outsider to the system. you think about what issues he always went against the establishment, the status quo on the strategic defense initiative, innovations to so manyv, tax cuts, on issues right down the line through his eight years. he never saw himself as being part of what he called the washington buddy system. and healways an outsider ran in 1984 as a reformer to the washington buddy system. host: craig shirley taking your phone calls and we will start with bob out of santa rosa california for the lot -- on the line

wisconsin donald trump has won t last one to do it, ronald reagan 1984 over walter mondale.w way of looking at and thinking about this electoral map, it goes through the rust belt, through the upper midwest. >>> welcome back to "a.m. joy," i'm jonathan capehart. all eyes are on the rust belt come november. those midwestern states, wisconsin, michigan and pennsylvania that were previously thought to be democratic strong holds before donald trump won them all in a historic sweep. but his surprise victory over hillary clinton in those states were by raising thin margins, combined less than 80,000 votes decided the outcome of the race. for both trump and biden these states are crucial to win and both tickets are campaigning aggressively there. both mike pence and kamala harris visited wisconsin this week, a state hillary clinton notably did not visit in 2016. and in a recent visit to michigan trump even sounded more desperate than usual, his pleas replete with characteristic lies. >> after the last administration nearly killed the u.s. auto industry i saved the u.s. auto industr

reagan stumbled against mondale but recovered in the next one. my former boss george w. bush had a very bad first debate against john kerry. ford stumbled by saying there was no soviet domination of eastern europe and barack obama stumbled against mitt romney. they aren't necessarily fatal. some of these people who stumble and don't do well in the debates i think go on to win. my boss, george w. bush, he recovered in the next two debates but because of his performance in the first i think people generally thought that the debates went to kerry yet he still won reelection. >> sandra: the six things to watch in the debate tonight. the five things you must watch in the debate or two things it might boil down to or the one moment that may be. you are so inside baseball. you reference your former bush george w. bush, what will you be watching when you watch the debate tonight? >> well, it's not polite to say but i'm watching to see if joe biden is all there. he is showing signs that his mental facilities are declining. and so -- and they talk about him hiding in the basement.

>> well, he's got -- you look at reagan and mondale, it's a perfect opportunity because he knows exactly to be asked. he's got all of hollywood, he's got all of the national media totally in the tank with him. he's got all of academia. he should have them working to come up with great one-liners and he should be able to answer it all with one line. remember, ted kennedy who ruined his whole political chances with an obvious question. maria: uh huh. what about that first nationally televised presidential debate, that was in 1960, kennedy, nixon. >> yeah. well, that changed not only presidential history, maria, that changed culture worldwide. there are people who are dying today because of skin cancer because they ran out and wanted to get a tan like the kennedys. i was 14 years old, listening on the radio. i thought nixon was winning. we got to our friend's house, went inside, and i said who's winning? they said kennedy. i said kennedy? because they were watching it on television. there are young makeup artists who don't know it who owe their jobs to the kennedy, nixon debate of 1960. mar

or mondale and reagan.first debate reagan did do so well so there might have been some questions but he ended up winning by a landslide. i wasn't so much polarization but people had made up their minds and they would vote for ronald reagan and again he won in a line slide. -- in a landslide. i can hardly believe anyone is undecided. i heard a pundit maybe the undecided voters are anything from 6% to 10% still undecided. said maybe they are undecided as to whether they will vote or not, not that they will, are going to vote for trump or biden. there will just be people who stay home. rick: this is rick davis in washington. thanks for being on the show tonight. i want to give back to the supreme court. we know the new nominee has an outspoken track record on reproductive rights and republicans are pushing her for one of those primary reasons. rts' courthe robe want to weigh into overturning a president like roe v. wade this stage of his career? >> such a good question. chief justice john roberts from the very

not really. 1984, ronald reagan's first debate against walter mondale.eagan didn't know where he was. he started rambling about going up highway 1. it's a pretty highway i know but he couldn't finish the thought. it was terrible, reagan won 49 states. 2012, barack obama, turned in a miserable debate performance in cleveland, i think it was, against mitt romney. it didn't matter. >> denver. >> it was -- it was denver. okay. it was a blowout. you can even go to george bush in 2004, you go, yeah, i'll take the next question, the extra time. all he'd say is, it's hard. it's hard. he won the election. so i mean, only debate i can think of in my entire life that's made a difference was the 1980 debate, ronald reagan against jimmy carter, and man, that debate made a big difference. but boy, that's the exception, isn't it? not the rule. >> yeah. so you just covered a bunch of ground joe and i think it's relevant. the three debates you mentioned at the start, the reagan '84, the barack obama 2012, i'm sorry jim messina is having ptsd from the 2012 i can feel it t

in the first debate with walter mondale, he did not perform as well as people hoped.k in the second debate and said he didn't think age should be an issue in the campaign because he didn't want to take advantage of his opponent's you send an experience, and that issue was gone -- opponent's youth and inexperience, and that issue was gone. as of now, the polls would indicate he would win, but it is a long time to november 3. matt: that was the former u.s. national security advisor john bolton talking about president trump. let's go to bloomberg's dani burger with a look at what is going on in markets this afternoon. dani: some broad gains we are seeing in european equities, up 1.4%. part of this might have to do with the fact that europe is insulated from some of the pain in the tech turnaround. you can notice that by what is happening in u.s. futures. the cash market closed today for the holiday, but the s&p staying somewhat flat at just 0.1% gains. nasdaq futures still moving lower by 0.5%. it is that fear over frothiness in the tech market, and some of the options a

he is not going to exploit for political purposes my opponent's youth and inexperience as far as mondalekennedy, senator. jack kennedy was a friend of mine. senator you are no jack kennedy. lloyd benson to dan quayle. can i recite these things verbatim the line i have done more in 47 months, joe, than have you done in 47 years. what it does is it serves as a remind to a lot of people that joe biden is somebody who is not an outsider with fresh ideas to fix washington. he has been there for nearly five decades and when you look at congress' approval around 15%. luke at joe biden and say that's right. this is not a new guy. barack obama was a new guy in essence in 2008 and obviously donald trump is a businessman in 2016. people like outsiders trump reminded people that biden was an insider. the things that really resonated, guys, was the fact that and, remember, have you got to get by the noise. the fact that joe biden wouldn't support the green new deal. you literally can go on his website right now and see he embraces the green new deal. alexandria ocasio-cortez is the head of his task f

that's a long, long time not to go at least once to say hey i like reagan over mondale type of situations who they're, are going to flood the zone. whether you want it or not i'm sending a ballot to your house. pennsylvania court decided just got to postmark your ballot to get there it has to be postmarked before november 3rd. it can get there as late as november 7th. i think ohio did the same thing. just leading to a mess on november 3rd. new jersey's governor is also come in. he also decided to mail everybody ballots. but he also decided to do something else. i'm a little short on cash. i'm losing a lot of rich people. so i have an idea. let's hike the taxes on millionaires on our state that will close the gap. is there anything wrong with that calculus? >> united van linings of all people, brian, and i will be quick. of every 10 moves out of new jersey or in new jersey, seven are out of state. in other words not like i'm moving from white cloth to wayne. i'm moving out of new jersey to idaho or texas. when that revenue goes away from the people who pate most in taxes then the state go

host: walter mondale had to be the deciding vote right . jimmy carter: we actually got 68 votes and how to get 67. so that is what took so much. i had to get a large number of republicans to vote for it. in spite of the fact that at that time ronald reagan was making the nation wide crusade against the panama canal treaties. enough republicans did vote for it . host: what you feel that reagan and john wayne in some of the conservative leaders work so we him and delete opposed. jimmy carter: john wayne, wasn't part of this panama treaties. one of the reasons was because he just liked reagan very much. john wayne did. another thing, he had been to panama city times and he knew the leader of panama at the time. john wayne let me know quarterly they would be in favor of the panama canal treaty. he wrote me a letter accordingly which i used with maximum advantage against the opposition of ronald reagan. host: i was spoke in georgia felt the canal treaty print him out. which is what you said. do you feel that you push the canal issue too quickly.

>>host: and then walter mondale had to be the deciding vote? >> we got 68 votes and had to get 67. we needed two thirds so republicans needed to vote for it. and ronald reagan was making a nationwide crusade against the treaty. >>host: why do you feel reagan and john wayne and the conservative leaders were so vehemently opposed? >> john wayne supported the treaty one reason is he just liked reagan very much. also he had been to panama several times and knew the leader at the time. so john wayne let me know early he was in favor of the panama canal treaty and wrote me a letter opening which i used against our position of ronald reagan. >>host: speaking to talmage in georgia that it burned him out. so do you thank you pushed it to quickly? >> and with that increasing amount of dissatisfaction. with the unfair treaty we had formulated in the 19 hundreds. and then there was a big altercation and they wrote diplomatic relations with the united states and venezuela and other leaders organize the third world powers. all of the road there was opposition of the united states as you may or m
