so i will quote tim walz. she did come across something of a knucklehead to some people, his word, when you think about this, the golden rule of the vp debate is do no harm. you are number 2 in command. i would make the argument vance helped trump and selecting him as his number 2 as vp shows that trump has good judgment, good leader puts solid people underneath them, perhaps smarter than they are. you are not seeing that the other way around. stuart: thanks. back to the markets. dow down 40, nasdaq down 40. tesla just reported third-quarter deliveries, 462,000. what does that tell you about toes look, stock is down 5%. >> a lot of it was priced in earlier. tesla is still growing, still selling vehicles. whether you loved a elon musk or not, people find value in the vehicles and down to the point only a few competitors left, down to gm in the us, the chinese are taking the markets by storm around the world so those guys are the ones driving that. learn new thing is people trying to get excited about october 10

but also tim walz has to defend joe biden's record. joe biden is the one who has been leading the democrat ticket over the past three and a half years. we know a lot of the items have been on kamala harris' plate such as being the border czar, the deciding vote for the massive spending bills. but do you want to get our economy and border back on track, keep going in the dangerous direction we're going right now? jd vance will remind people there is hope and that's president trump. >> do you think that jd vance has any work to do, jason, that -- with this issue of likability? we mentioned in our polls since 1988 he's the second least popular -- the highest negative ratings of any vice presidential candidate with suburban women in particular, he's got a net negative 21 with suburban women. do you think he needs to take on some of this baggage, you know, the childless cat lady and all that kind of thing, is that part of what you hope he addresses tonight? >> as jd vance talks about his upbringing, humble upbringing he had everybody knows

you know, look, i think tim walz needs to be tim walz. i agree. don't you know, he's going to he's going to say what he wants to say. i think j.d. vance is the one that may go down these rabbit holes with things that he said. he said some crazy stuff. but, you know, he came to springfield, ohio. >> i know. but but tim walz nice to talk about where he is in this race, what they're doing. >> i'd stay away from the childless cat. ladies, stay away from springfield. those are going to come out anyway, talk about what they're going to do for america and the hope and the joy that tim walz let's brings. i talk about my mole football team that walked out on that stage at the dnc. that was a moment, folks, i got to tell you home and spoke to a lot of people across this country. >> all right. you can watch tim walz and jd vance's first face off in their vp debate hosted by cbs news tonight at 9:00 p.m. eastern right here on cnn. and i'll be heading to you or to do some of our pre debate coverage. don't miss it straight ahead here on cnn this morning, we con

vance or tim walz. in and paide wh attention to this and saw theser two people, one who was evasive and refused to answer questions. when he talked about something he seemed to know something about, he was not able to make an argument or defend the policies of kamala harris. j.d. vance, on thepo otherin hae was prepared, he was on point. he was able to explain his positions, explained donald trump's positions andthin defend them. i think anybody who did dilantin to meet these two walked away realizing that you had j.d. vance as a serious, thoughtful,t engaging person, and tim walz is just a waste who is incapable o makinghe the simplest argument. >> laura: buighbt he would be a good neighbor if you want your neighborhood to burn down. i don't understand that comment. >> i guess! >> laura: charlie, it is funny, i got some holes after the debate from old law school friends not particularly fonbutf president trump. they will vote republican but they are not a huge trump fan w would do and were so blown awa

trust us, and you heard tim walz say we trust women. that's what democrats stand for, that's what kamala harris and tim walz stand for. so, i thought that contrast was very very clear. and yeah the republican party has a lot to answer for, because the deaths tim walz is talking about of women who aren't able to get the kind of reproductive services that they deserve, because doctors feel like they might go to prison if they perform those services, because it's been criminalized in so many states. i'm in illinois, where we've had to create an oasis for the people, because every state around us has analyzed or gotten rid of abortion services. so, people are traveling hundreds of miles unfortunately, but at least they have a place to go to protect themselves. tim walz believes the entire country should be the haven for women. you should be able to go to your local hospital or doctor and receive the services you deserve whereas donald trump and jd vance are okay with people dying in the parking lot. >> right and jd vance at one point expres

real tim walz.o minnesota, estate i love so much, of spent so much time over the years. >> listen, halloween comes early tonight because the tim walz on stage is not the real tim walz. it's a caricature. he's an elitist wannabe, a radical leftists who's masquerading as a moderate. he's a fake and a phony. it's going to be up to j.d. vance tonight to strip off that mask, to show the country who the real tim walz is. he's faced almost no scrutiny here in the state of minnesota apart from his past runs as governor. even then he's skips debates before. and so they say he's nervous, i think that's to lower expectations, but if i were to malls or would be nervous because he has to face the questions and hopefully j.d. vance addresses those embellishments and lies that have been plaguing him this entire campaign with kamala harris. >> jesse: it's up to j.d. vance to do any of that tonight. but if you think we will get policy -- policy specifics from walz... >> tim walz needs to be tim walz. talk about what

he had one major problem: guns. >> i'm tim walz.o stand with the nra to protect the rights of sportsmen and gun owners. >> when he was in congress, his constituency really supported the second amendment. there were a lot of hunters and fishermen and women in his district, and he was one of them himself. >> tim stood up time and time again for the constitutional rights of law-abiding gun owners and sportsmen. it's why the nra gave tim an a rating. >> throughout his time in congress, he had taken liberal votes. he had taken moderate votes. but he had an a rating from the nra the entire time. >> breaking news tonight-- the deadliest mass shooting in modern american history. >> narrator: in the midst of the campaign, the gun issue kept forcing its way into the news, first in las vegas, and then in parkland. >> ...that they are responding to an active shooter at marjory stoneman douglas high school in parkland, florida. >> guns become a core issue for the democratic coalition. anyone with an a rating from the nra is considered to, you kn

it was a tough moment for tim walz. are the debate, but at the end of the day, he showed something that most politicians don't show, which is a little bit of humility calling himself in knucklehead, saying he misspoke. i think that that as you go through out the night, i mean, the issues of abortion, the issues of iran and israel the issues of the economy, the issues of immigration are going to far outpace whether or not he was in hong kong on whatever specific day that he said he was or whether he was there later in the summer. i think the way that he answered it would just an ounce of humility and simply saying, look, i was i was a knucklehead. i misspoke. i get caught up in the rhetoric, will go a long way. i don't think that's it's going to if you look at the fact of where he was that summer versus the fact that jd vance wants a nationwide abortion ban and has lied about that. i think that issue of abortion will far outweigh what happened in hong kong and whether or not tim walz was they are not alex thompson. >> i

let's see how tim walz handled his attempt to lower expectations. >> sources now tell cnn that tim walzting off a case the nerves ahead of his debate with senator j.d. vance. he is said to be nervous that he might let kamala harris down. >> and we know he did warn harris during the vetting process that he's a bad debater. >> michael: okay, that might be lowering expectations too much. tim, you want to be more like "my opponent is a slick talker," not "me talk bad, disappoint pretty lady." you want, "i'm new to all this," not "i'm so stupid a dog used peanut butter to trick me into licking his balls." meanwhile, on the republican side, donald trump took a swing at lowering expectations for j.d. vance. remember, mr. trump, the goal is to subtly suggest that j.d. vance might have a hard time at the debate, because he's going up against a skilled debater. show us. >> he's going up against a moron, a total moron. >> michael: crushed it. but it wasn't just the candidates preparing for the debate. the debate moderators were also trying to find ways to keep them honest. now, at the last debate

tim walz is known for many things. his dad style, and of course, launching this weird attack, which has clearly stuck at times. so will we see that presented right to jd vance? and how will jd vance go at tim walz? that's what we're watching for, the debate is two hours away. rachel maddow and our whole team begin special coverage here on msnbc right now. >> good evening. >> good evening. >> good evening. >> the candidates need no introduction. >> i can't wait to debate the guy. >> the first and only vice presidential debate. >> tim walz's record is a joke. >> mind your own damn business. >> donald trump's second running mate. >> i smile at a lot of things including bogus questions from the media. >> and the governor of minnesota -- >> these guys are creepy and weird as hell. >> with the election five weeks away, the campaigns meet face-to-face for what might be the final time. >> we have people power on the side of donald j. trump and that's going to carry the people. >> this is not about power. this is about public s

vance and tim walz went back and forth for an hour and a half and speak to tim watts got up to a rocky start when a rocky start with israel. >> hamas terrorists massacred 1400 israelis and took pris prisoners. israel's ability to defend itself is absolutely fundamental getting hostages back fundamental and humanitarian crisis in gaza. that the expansion of israel and proxies is an absolute fundamental necessity for the united states with steady leadership. >> j.d. vance highlighted former president trump's record and reminded who is currently in the white house. >> tim, i think you have a temp job here because you have to play whack a mole and donald trump didn't deliver rice and paint which of course he did and you have to pretend donald trump didn't deliver lower inflation which he did and simultaneously has to depend kamala harris' atrocious record which made gas, groceries, food available. >> they barred the moderators from fact-checking the candidates but despite those roles go to the moderators fact-checked j.d. vance and to a flip the script and corrected them on immigration. >>

not 1990 as tim walz falsely claimed at the debate.ays a pleasure to see you again thanks for joining us we appreciate it. >> thank you, liz be well. >> kamala harris is engaged incense or ship at an industrial scale. she did it during covid. she's done it over a number of other issues and that to me is a much bigger threat to democracy than what donald trump said when he said the protesters should peacefully protest on january 6. kamala harris wants to use, threatening the power of government and big tech to silence people from speaking their minds. that is a threat to democracy that will long out live this present political moment. i would like democrats and republicans to both reject censorship. let's persuade one another and argue about ideas and that we have to remember that for years in this country, democrats, protested the results of elections. hillary clinton in 2016 said that donald trump had the election stolen by vladimir putin because the russians bought like $500,000 worth of facebook ads. >> well i don't run facebook. li

vance and tim walz.oing to get into some of the contradictions that j.d. vance in his previous record that he tried to sort of fanatize last night and basically the last answer that we showed at the end of that is i think the moment that will be remembered from this debate. when a very simple questions posed not by the moderators, but by governor walz turning to j.d. vance and saying did donald trump lose the 2020 election, yes or no, and j.d. vance do not answer. tells you everything you need to know. >> might have been good if that was asked earlier on. a couple other things, too, we can talk about. jonathan lemire and elise jordan still with us. joining the discussion we have staff writer for "the atlantic" david frum with us and chief white house correspondent for "the new york times" peter baker joins us for this hour. nbc news chief white house correspondent peter alexander has more highlights from last night's debate. >> reporter: in their first and only face-off j.d. vance and tim walz squaring o

>> vance: tim, i'm focused on the future.did kamala harris censor americans from speaking their mind in the wake of the 2020 covid situation? >> walz: that is a damning nonanswer. >> vance: it's a damning nonanswer for you not to talk about censorship. i'm happy to talk about it further. you guys attack us for not believing in democracy, the most sacred right under the united states democracy is the first amendment. you, yourself, have said, there's no first amendment right to misinformation. kamala harris wants to use -- >> walz: threatening or hate speech. >> vance: -- and big tech to silence people from speaking their minds. thats a threat to democracy that will long outlive this present political moment. i would like democrats and republicans to both reject censorship. let's persuade one another, let's argue about ideas and then let's come together afterwards. >> walz: you can't yell fire in a crowded theater. that's the test. that's the supreme court test. >> vance: fire in a crowded theater. you guys wanted to kick peop

tim walz seemed very nervous tonight.ind of walked away with the impression, i guess maybe i felt. maybe this is the reason he doesn't do interviews. he seemed to take come as you never see you? >> senator vance: i didn't notice adrenaline was going so much i was nervous, i could do a lot of these interviews but i was nervous as the biggest age of my life excellent and focus on much on his demeanour. i just had to focus on what he was saying, and to be fair to tim walz. he had a very tough job. and that is to defend the policies of kemal harris. >> hannity: he did have a tough job. >> senator vance: he does that it is kamala harris has done this, her policy failures have made food, housing, energy unaffordable. we just need a change in this country, we need to get back to the common sense leadership of donald trump. i am not surprised that tim couldn't defend that record. who could? if you put me on the debate stage, you clearly thank i did a good job, i hope i did a good job. but if you ask me to defend kemal -- kamala h

i don't think that the left got that from tim walz. think anybody if watching that watched tim walz and thought this guy could be president. to be fair, we don't necessarily think that, in my opinion, about kamala harris either. but tim walz certainly didn't do her any favors in that department. howard: was it so friendly at times, briefly, kevin, that they didn't really hold each other can accountable? i mean, there certainly was pushback about obamacare and other issues, but, you know, they seemed the a lot of common if ground which was not the strategy that the democrats were hoping for. >> i think the you're a democrat, you wanted to the see governor walz be a lot more aggressive. i don't think he took advantage of some opportunities where he could really have gotten after j.d. vance, and part of it is his disarming personality. if you want to go after donald trump, he's a pugilist that makes it easier, but going after vance is tougher because he's like, well, you know, you're right, i see your point, which was pretty start on -- s

vance or tim walz.hey dialed in, they paid attention to this, and they saw these two people, one who is evasive, refused to answer questions, and when he did talk about something, he seemed to know something about, he was not able to make an argument. he couldn't even defend the policies of kamala harris. j.d. vance on the other hand was prepared, he was on point. he was able to explain his positions, explain donald trump's positions. and defend them. and i think anybody who did dial in to meet these two, walked away realizing that you had j.d. vance as a serious, thoughtful, engaging person and tim walz is just a -- is a way who is incapable of making the simplest argument. >> laura: but he would be a good neighbor if you want your neighborhood to burn down. that comment. >> i guess. >> laura: charlie, it's funny, because i got some calls after the debate from old law school friends who not particularly fond of president trump. but they are going to vote republican. but they are not huge trump fans. th

that's what tim walz is proposing.would be death to any political cloud that any other state ever had in any presidential election moving forward. that's what tim walz is suppsupporting and many act sure when had he says thing and upsets the apple card and people say you're the candidate for vice president now saying things like that. it has impact. liz: we should point out top democrat tim mcgovern pushing back and not certifying that and what's happening too and 30,000-foot perspective and democrats started attacking trump well before he was elected in 2016. hillary clinton, dnc, trump alphabet and rallying for foreign lobby violations and geared up to impeach trump before sitting down in the oval office and bullying began with no crimes or misdemeanors cited and raising resolutions to impeach trump and six months before sitting down. nancy pelosi leading the democrat charge of 14 committees this is the bullying of par left party and calling them democrats but far left bullying party. >> well, that's exactly right. i

in terms of tim walz, is _ 80, of course. in terms of tim walz, is the — 80, of course.m| walz, is the obvious target the cat lady comments on the various comments he continues to make about women, given how important that sector of the vote is? , , . ., vote is? this is the challenge of any woman _ vote is? this is the challenge of any woman running - vote is? this is the challenge| of any woman running against vote is? this is the challenge i of any woman running against a donald trump ticket, you have got to be careful, to make sure you address the childless cat ladies, make sure you are answering any lies but you have to also get your message out, so it will be important for two lots to talk about the harris to inbox vision for the country —— important fortim to inbox vision for the country —— important for tim walz to talk about the harris and tim walz vision for the country but he talks about what it is like governing, whether he was a coach or as a teacher, and that will be important for independents who are watching and who are trying to figure out who to vote fo

jason miller said tim walz is wily political veteran. walz is leaking that tim walz is nervous.l consider tonight's debate a success if? fill in the blank. >> we need to talk about policy. this is about donald trump and kamala harris. from j.d. vance you will hear reintroduction of him. you will hear about his upbringing and his desire to work with president trump to make the american dream achievable to efrp else. main focus and j.d. vance will hit a home run is talking about policies voters care about. i think tim walz will have a hard time, how does he defend kamala harris' record. kamala harris has said we need to turn the page. that is right, from them. they have failed on economy and inflation and failed on the border and with fentanyl powering in and chaos at home and abroad, that is the key to success. voters want to hear about issues that are important to them. >> todd: i think j.d. vance is well primed to deliver that. we'll see. in town for the big night, appreciate you coming by at 5:00 a.m. americans in southeast suffered during hurricane helene, kamala harris was h

so tim walz needs to work on that.s far as jews and israel being able to defend itself, the caller talked about israel being god's people. middle east needs an ally. the united states needs an ally in the united states and that is who israel is and that is why they're so important. there's another caller talked about narcissist and sick fans. i'm going back and forth in my best friend who is a trump supporter. i want the country to be balanced. i want the country to settle and degrees our issues using the -- address our issues using the full weight of the judicial system. host: let's hear from christine from the republican line. caller: hello. i've been listening to the man calling in and i kind of protect myself by listening to pbs's reason why we have a vice president and that kind of prepared me and i was just astonished to see when nixon and the watergate thing came up how that -- the lor just intervened and a man who had never run for an office was the one that was chosen and then he -- things kept going on and th

. >> tim maltin it's jd vance versus tim walz, the ohio senator, and the minnesota governor sharing a stage for the first time after weeks of hostility and making the case for their running mates in prime time. >> i say we get a president who knows what the hell he's doing. i say we get donald j. trump back in the oval office. >> we are not satisfied with putting cracks in the glass ceiling. we're pushing president harris through the glass. >> the vp picks of kamala harris and donald trump are about to be tested as they've never been tested before just five weeks before election day when we fight, we win. >> it's debate night in america. and cnn's live coverage begins right now political spotlight is on new york city as vice presidential nominees j.d. >> vance and tim walz are about to confront one another on the debate stage. we are standing by for the start of what is likely to be a contentious faceoff that could have a unique impact on the 24, 2024 presidential race. it is debate night in america on this special edition of ac360. welcome. i'm anderson cooper, along with jake tapper

do you think tim walz is best served? focusing on j.d. vance tonight, are focusing more on donald trump we don't want to attack down again, we should remind people that geoff j.d. >> vance, again, if he's handed the ball, would be a disaster particularly for women and he's caught on the attack against women. but we want to attack the person who, for the last, for his four years as a president, saw the most jobs lost, you know, was fired from his job and then sent a violent mob to attack his office place. we want to remind people of who that person is. and then contrasted with who will be a partner with tim walz, as president. and that's kamala harris so managing expectations is always the job of the campaign ahead of head of any debate, i want to play for you. what jason miller of the trump campaign, he is very good at staying on message and pushing the message of the campaign. what he told kasie hunt today, especially in contrast or what you just heard from donald trump j.d. >> vance has been official office for two years, but tim walz h

so tim wams has a whole concern walz has a whole bunch of problems.supposed to be this person to help bring the midwest together. the reality is when you compare his life to senator vance's life which has been an american success story, there is no comparison. tim walz exaggerated his tenure in the military, said he carried a weapon of war when he was overseas. we know that was never if true are. so he has to answer for those things on the, and i'm sure the american people are finally ready for him to sit down and answer some questions because after 70 days of being part of this ticket the, he's never sat down for a one-on-one interview. elizabeth: are you worried about the cbs moderate ors? will they be biased, do you think? people are saying, no, that they'll be middle of the road. what do you think? >> i don't want to to say they're going to be middle of the road, but j.d. vance has done every sunday show and take every shot that the mainstream media has thrown at him. he's incredibly articulate and smart, he fact checks people in realtime, so we'r

you obviously have governor tim walz. he's from right here you have wisconsin, here you have michigan. he has been to wisconsin five times, michigan four times. senator jd vance has been to both states six times. they're hoping they appeal to those voters right here in the midwest, in these critical battleground states, these blue-collar voters. senator jd vance is from that critical battleground of ohio right next to it. all-important pennsylvania, you mentioned it, both candidates see this as a must win. >> we're going to come back to these polls a little later on. again, it's what everyone wants to know, just how close is this race. >>> when we come back, terri moran standing by in springfield, ohio. that community came under intense national scrutiny during the presidential debate. we're going to go live to terry moran there. what voters in that community expect to hear tonight in this vice presidential debate. >>> and donna brazil, priebus, what would they tell both of these gentlemen they have to do tonight? we'll h

debate. >> so, jd vance clobbered tim walz last night, vice president at debate. mr. vance had grace, style, humility. resleprelentless messaging and religious grounding. making crucial policies easy to understand, high high -- he was so good, it was quite possible he moved needle for the trump team. it may be unusual for a veep debate but it might do it with 34 days to go before the election, clear that economy. and borderless illegal immigration problem are the two issues too decide this election. mr. vance, on 11 separate occasions during the debate, talked about high take home pay, and low inflation, during the trump years. 11 times. take home pay. that was ronald reagan easy continued to phrase aimed at average working class family, what really money is left in your wallet or pocketbook after taxes and inflation, vance said this key point 11 times. take a listen to one. >> i think you have a tough job, you have to play whack-a-mole pretend d donald trump did not deliver take home pay, he did and he lowered inflatio anonymous y. >> we can get back to an americ

tim walz is known for many things. his dad style, and of course, launching this weird attack, which has clearly stuck at times. so will we see that presented right to jd vance? and how will jd vance go at tim walz? that's what we're watching for, the debate is two hours away. rachel maddow and our whole team begin special coverage here on msnbc right now. >> good evening. >> good evening. >> good evening. >> the candidates need no introduction. >> i can't wait to debate the guy. >> the first and only

hello tim, pleasure to check in with you uh, your initial thoughts on iran's retaliatory and very mucht learned no lessons, they are... gleefully celebrating the idea of recolonizing gaza, of colonizing south lebanon, they have actual real estate advertisements that they're posting, inviting um, jewish israelis to purchase uh real estate or fictional houses in lebanon, um, they are still bombing beirot uh at the time, what impact the uh, the iranian attack on the military basis in in uh in occupied palestine has on this, i'm not sure, but nevertheless it hasn't. stop them up until now, they are inflated with arrogance, because they have these powerful, apparently powerful sponsors, whoever could however couldn't protect them from the the missiles as they did back in april. it's true that most of the missiles in april were shot down and most of that by their sponsors by the british and the and the north americans and and the french for example, that didn't happen this time, they couldn't manage at this time, whether they will engage in further aggression is still to be seen, but neverth

>> tim, i'm focused on the future. did kamala harris censor americans was speaking the mind in the week of the 2020 covid situation? spirit that is a damning nonanswer. >> i see a candidate who refused, and now again, i'm shocked by this, he lost the election. america, you have a clear choice on the selection and who will honor the democracy and who will honor donald trump. >> what did you make of that moment? >> it was, okay, there's a lot to unpack. i will start with this. this for 8.5 rounds was the polished yale debate champion doing what they do. ducking and jiving and moving and sliding. all of that. walz was holding his own and putting out policy threads and laying down stuff like that. that moment, that moment in the ninth round after losing on points for eight rounds, knockout. because, i don't care where you are on policy, and yes, it's important. it is so important and there's so much stuff to get to from abortion to the economy to what's happening right now in israel. you have to fundamentally understand th

and tim walz, i think it took advantage of it. he had three different anecdotes of the kind of horror story trees that have already started to pop up as a result of some of the restrictions that are in place with the ending of roe versus wade jd vance didn't really have an answer. he had his own anecdote, but it was for an anonymous person, a very sort of suspects story, frankly matt gorman i want to ask you what about what jd vance had to say or didn't have to say about the 2020 election results as january 6 became a topic of conversation, i walz, tim walz took the question and kind of turned it on jd vance. >> let's watch that moment and i want to ask you about it i would just ask that did he lose the 2020 election tim, i'm focused on the future. did kamala harris censor americans from speaking their mind and the wake of the 2020 covid situation. that is that is a non-answer. is that a non-answer? matt? >> okay. let me quickly step back for a second. i think to the civility point to both kanye saw in their interest to not attack

vance and tim walz. and that comes amid reports walz is fighting nervouses for the big night but assuring he's no political newcomer. here is trump 2024 official tim murtaugh. good morning. >> good morning, steve. >> steve: i saw this, i think on cnn, how he has a case of nerves. he's done this a million times, he's not nervous. >> no, that is most egregious case of expectationy lowering. he's been through two gubernatorial races. he's been through this a bunch of times and you'll not see governor jazz hands like you are u used to seeing on the campaign trail. you will see a guy more buttoned up. he has a big job to defend kamala harris' record and her agenda of raising taxes and contributing to inflation she's caused and j.d. vance will do a great job. he is best promoter and defender of donald trump and his policy. great match up we're looking forward to. >> steve: there is always a possibility that j.d. vance will turn it back to, i know we're talking about inflation, tell you how border is impacting
