vance had a very strong debate.he had to defend it trump are particularly on january 6 and also in the haitian immigrant issue came out. they can wimp went on immigration by sticking to the issue not going down that rabbit hole. those were his weakest moments. but i think the first rule of these debates particularly for the vice presidential debate is first do no harm. it's the replace the things are going to be memes and out on a loop that really stick. i want to hear walz misspoke and said some about school shooters and now that's getting played everywhere on social media listen. >> i sop set in the office with sandy hook parent i become friends with school shooters but as in the nra for a long time they used to teach gun safety i'm of the age my struggles in my car so i confess it hot after my football practice preheat misspoke and said i became friends with school shooters. i think he meant to say i became friends with the families of the victims of school shooters. he went on to talk about that. but is now beco

but the jd vance on the debate stage tonight is not the jd vance. seen on the campaign trail at rallies doing the interviews that he he's been doing it's just not i mean, he has been very much trying to defend and explained donald trump's positions tonight glossed over the controversial positions that donald trump has that when it, when it comes to abortion. >> number one, when it comes to obamacare, the issues that donald trump disagrees with kamala harris on that are very popular with a lot of swing voters. >> vance pretended like it wasn't a difference at all. cnn's kaitlan collins is going to pick up our debate coverage along with an update on the crisis in the middle east after this break thanks for watching sunday well, no, whole story of former first lady and the first second gentleman kaitlan collins, takes a closer look at the potential for spouses americans have come to expect the position is one that you could make a difference, but history and possible future of this iconic office, regardless of the politics, the image of the two of them

father figures in vance's life.'t separate jd vance, who took his mom's name, from this fatherless childhood. >> narrator: vance joined the marines serving in public affairs, and deployed for six months in iraq, another reason he would stick out at yale. >> i had just finished the military, and jd ran this group called the yale veterans association, so he took us out for pizza the first night before school started, and basically said something along the lines of, like, "hey, look, you're going to be self-conscious. "you're going to feel like all these people "are smarter than you. "and, like, it's just not true. "and so if you can just kind of make it through these first couple of months, like, you'll settle in." and that was really powerful to me. >> narrator: on campus, he was already gravitating toward politics. >> it was just clear that he loved politics. he loved talking about it. he loved talking about policy. he certainly was a conservative, but he was starting to question a lot of the orthodoxies of the main

i thought walz basically knocked out vance. first of all, he wobbled badly on guns, we can talk about that, you most knocked him out on healthcare, then a january 6th he was out cold. >> in terms of format and tone they were sitting next to each other, it was very collegiate, very we agree on things. this was jd vance who made friends at yale, this was tim walz who won in difficult times during 2010 would basically ever y democrat. kicked out. but the thing that really sort of, like to get back to the democracy question at the end, walz almost apologizes for it where he says like we are agreeing on a lot of stuff, and there is bipartisan, this is a thing i cannot go with you on, and i thought it was very human. you could see it in his face, because you can hear when someone's throat is a little closed, he does not like fighting and arguing, he doesn't like delivering the blow, that's not who he is. he had to steal himself, he almost had to apologize, i'm almost bummed out by this, dude, but, i found all the more effective. the

vance you're going to get. he's such a phony could either be the phony apalachee guy or he could be the kind of suck up that he was to get a job with donald trump we have done on somebody who has high iq, low integrity, high iq, low empathy, high iq, but really know willing to hurt patient children to get ahead, well, it changed his whole personality to get a position with donald trump that is a dangerous person for a good man to debate somebody who actually is going to be constrained by facts is going to be constrained by his desire to be a unifier. so i think it's going to be a tough night for a coach walz to show that good guys can win even against low, low integrity people are just trying to lower expectations because a lot of democrats are no, no, no. >> i wouldn't want it to be somebody look, first of all, i would do that yale lawyer. i look i look i would go to people like j.d. vance who just want to get ahead, no matter what he will say, anything, do anything those people are tough to debate. i used to

vance is. j.d. vance has been on the you know, the floor of the senate debating for a year and a half. it seems like by the way, he can't hold a job for more than about a year and a half at a time. but he's been and a half, and he had the campaign right before it. and he's a guy who's yale educated, and i think that slickness is going to serve him well but poorly over the long haul, because we're going to fact check him. >> well, just in point of view, in point of fact, i've interviewed you more this week than i've interviewed the entire democratic ticket this year. but that's a separate issue. >> okay, but the democratic ticket has not been the democratic ticket for very long. >> so all due make them all. all three of them make it all three. so governor walz speaking of fact checking, governor walz just tripped over another apparently false fact that he made claimed that he said that in the past that he was in hong kong during the 1989 tiananmen square protests. he was not. this does seem to be som

vance. ma'or general, so good to have vance. major general, so good to have you — vance.s and his agenda for the american people, compared tojd vance, which presented a dangerous and i think fair which presented a dangerous and ithink fairto which presented a dangerous and i think fair to say unpopular agenda. project 2025. it made it very clear to the american people what is at stake on so many issues, whether it is women's health care, the border and immigration, foreign democracy, the last issue they spoke about before they went into final statements. fin spoke about before they went into final statements.- into final statements. on the issue of the _ into final statements. on the issue of the economy, - into final statements. on the issue of the economy, jd - into final statements. on the i issue of the economy, jd vance put it to tim walz that if he and kamala harris had all these great plans to help american families, why hadn't she done it for the last three and a half years, what would you say to that? ~ :, half years, what would you say to that? ~ . , , to that? w

>> i think for jd vance tonight, it is about laying out the future of what a trump-vance presidency lookse, the policy, the issues, the american people. it is the opportunity to hold tim walz and kamala harris accountable for the failures of the biden administration. obviously foreign policy. all the crises. they have done terrible. joe: i think of you as a brawler. knowing the rules will be different tonight, do you like the idea of un-muted microphones and the back-and-forth? >> i don't have a problem with it. i bring facts. the only thing i like about microphones is it gives you an opportunity to finish a thought. and allow yourself to be heard by the american people without an opponent trying to jump in and interrupt or distract. that is offputting. i'm a fan of muted microphones. that is immaterial. tonight, can you stay focused and get your message across. kailey: as we consider the facts, knowing you sit on the financial services committee, we look at the facts on the economy, we have inflation within 2%, an unemployment rate low by historic standards, 50 basis points lower on the

vance, vance is no mike pence. he does not have the integrity of a mike pence at all. so, those are my two cents at the moment. host: that was built in pennsylvania, finishing off two hours of calls. 86 of you calling in to give your comments on the vice presidential debate last night. you can still watch it on c-span.org, by the way, or follow it on our free video app. you ca the redacted file in our website, c-span.org. >> in virginia's seven u.s. army colonel, democrat andr former green beret, a open seat in the u.s. house of represves. this evening, we will have live coverage of their debate hosted byrsity of mary washington beginning at 7:00 p.m. eastern and 8:00 p.m. eastern, our live debate coverage continues senator kevin cramer facing his democratic challenger christina christiansen in a debate hosted by prairie public sion. that's also on c-span, c-span now our free mobile video app, and online at c-span.org. >> c-span's "washington journal," our life forum involving you on the latest issues in government, politics, and public policy. from washington across t

vance. it was tim walz who had to call him out on it and make sure he was answering for the idea that, they want to takeaway the coverage for people with pre- existing conditions, takeaway coverage for your 26-year-old's and under who are covered by the aca. over and over you heard lies and kind of slick answers from j.d. vance. you know slwhat you heard from tim walz? a guy that you trust that lives down the street from you. the coach you had in high school that you trusted, the teacher you could confide in. and just, he spoke in a way that i think everyday americans, you know, the working families of america really understand. >> are you at all surprised that there are, i think, a number of moments in this debate where j.d. vance was trying to suggest he cared about the struggles. he was more bipartisan in posture ggthan you have seen hi in other media appearances. he tried to agree notionally with governor walz on some things even though these two tickets are opposed on policy. he is slic

vance.. how do you think that played out last night? >> well, i mean j.d. vance -- first of all, it's great to see you, jonathan. j.d. vance throughout the debate i think he used the phrase illegal immigrant or illegal alien more than anything else he said the entire night. i thought governor walz kind of gave him a pass. i thought he was forceful to a certain degree, jonathan, in holding him to account, but in some ways i thought governor walz should have said who is this guy, right? he sounds reasonable, but j.d. vance was actually cosplaying. because when he leaves that television -- when he left the studio, what would he do? he's going to go back to his maga base, and he's going to traffic in all of these lies. he's going to traffic in all this bombast, so i thought governor walz should have held him to account even more. he talked about him scapegoating, dehumanizing, but i still think governor walz could have pressed the issue even more to expose the deep-seated hatred that drives j.d.

vance didn't stumble like vance might have done -- like walz did with the tiananmen square think butance didn't score any points i think. host: all right, justin from tennessee. they started tonight on foreign policy, the moderators asking a couple questions about the situation in the middle east hours after the iran attacks on israel. let's listen to part of that exchange over iran and their influence in the middle east. >> governor walz, if you weren't the final voice in the situation room, would you support or oppose a preemptive strike by israel on iran? you have two minutes. >> thank you and thank you for those joining at home tonight. let's keep in mind where this started, october 7, hamas terrorists massacred over 1400 israelis and took his nurse. -- took prisoners. israel's ability to defend itself is fundamental. getting its hostages back is fundamental and ending the humanitarian crisis in gaza. but the expansion of israel and its proxies is a necessity for united states you saw experience today where along with is really partners and coalition, we were able to stop the inc

vance last night. in and relatable and talked to the american people answered told his story and told the american dream story that we once had under donald trump but unfortunately the last three years have not been so good. it's great to be here in michigan, guys. [cheers and applause] >> brian: i think they are finding you very relatable. very likeable and relatable. >> steve: lawrence, you have got to go back to talk to that person or couple of people back in the corner who said that tim walz won. because that is not a commonly held belief. >> brian: but it's okay. >> steve: yeah. we want to hear from them. >> lawrence: steve, if you know me, you know i'm going to talk to everyone. i will try get to the bottom of this on why they feel that way. >> steve: lawrence, i was looking at the place you are at right now the steak and egg there in muskegon. they have got something on the menu. i don't know if you have looked at the menu yet. texas style french toast. >> lawrence: you know i did. >> steve: i w

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 from "hillbilly elegy," his grandmother largely raised him, his own mother struggled with addiction, he's somebody who went and served in the marines, was -- served overseas as well. he has a great story. and is able to get out there and talk with voters and tell that story and i think they're going to move his direction. keep in mind, not everybody watched the political conventions. not everybody saw tim walz, the democrats, or jd vance with the republicans. so f

vance that can't but be j.d. vance. sure, he hit that mark. but in this exchange i want to play this is both walz and vance on child care. there were some subtleties that snuck in there. take a listen. >> i had to go back to work five days after my kids were born. this allows you to stay home a certain amount of time. what we know is that gets the child off to a better start, the family works better, we stay with their employers. we get more consistency in that. we implemented it in minnesota, and we see growth. that's how become a pro-business state. >> i'm married to a beautiful woman who's an incredible mother to our three beautiful kids but is also a very, very brilliant corporate litigator, and i'm so proud of her. but being a working mom even with somebody all of the advantages like my wife is extraordinarily difficult. and it's not just difficult from a policy perspective. she ale which had access to paid family leave because she worked for a big company, but the cultural pressure on young families and especially young women i think mak

moderate republicans loved vance. people see vance as the future.ce's presentation gives fence sitters a sense of security because trump had a little trouble picking personnel the first time around. now there's evidence that trump will surround himself with high quality people. this goes without saying, but the base loved him. loved. he humanized wings of the republican party, articulated the america first agenda exquisitely and even soft and trump, if that was possible. a focus group advance winning 12-2. >> very battle-tested, very ready. you could see he went to yale. he's very intelligent and he reassured a lot of people i think. >> he's -- his strong control of the facts. he ran the show. >> he remained steady during the whole performance and i was very impressed with him being sincere and authentic. >> he humanized himself and looked like a regular guy. >> jesse: vance even won over some on the left. >> i'm a lifelong democrat. i feel as if vance really showed he's a very vibrant brilliant young man who has total control of the issues. the sys

vance. j.d. vance has been skewered across mainstream media, and obviously resurfaced clips from podcasts he's done in the past had rubbed people the wrong-way. they really weaponized those words so he knew coming into that debate he was going to have to be likable, relatable, he was going to have to show maybe a different side of j.d. vance than the american voter has seen in the past, and he did exactly that. he reframed the narrative on abortion. he also was able to appear likable and relatable in times where it was actually very difficult to do so, given in some cases, it was a three-on-one. he handled it very well and he made a lot of fans last night. liz: let's go to the highlight reel. watch the awkward moment for cbs as vance fact checked the moderated or and tim walz. in more than 800,000 illegal aliens since last year. watch how cbs cut vance's mic here. >> it's the facilitation of illegal immigration margaret -- >> thank you, senator for describing the legal process. we have so mu

that was senator vance. what we've seen out of vice president harris is calmness, understanding that our allies matter. when our allies see donald trump turn towards vladimir putin, turn towards north korea, when you see that type of fickleness, we will stay committed and as the vice president said is we will protect our forces and there will be consequences. >> start vance, you're next. -- senator vance, you're next. what do you think? >> i was raised in a working class family. my mother required food assistance for periods of her life. my grandmother required sociosecurity help to raise me. i stand here asking to be your vice president with extraordinary gratitude for this country, for the american dream that made it possible for me to live my dream. and i know a lot of you are worried that the american dream is unattainable. i want to convince you that if we can get better leadership in the white house, if we get donald trump back in the white house, the american dream is going to be attainable once again

senator vance.hat we've seen out of vice president harris's steady leadership. a calmness that's able to be able to draw on the coalitions to bring them together. understanding that our allies matter. when our allies see donald trump turned toward vladimir putin, turned toward north korea, we start to see that type of fickleness, we will stay committed. as the vice president said today , we will protect our forces and our allied foresees -- forces in their will becomes quinces. >> senator vance, same question. would you support or oppose a preemptive strike by israel on iran? >> thanks to hosting the debate. thanks most important to the american people who are watching this evening and caring enough about this country to pay attention to this debate. i want to get an introduction to myself. a lot of americans don't know who we are. i was raised in a working-class family. my grandmother required social security help to raise me. my own mother struggled with addiction. i went to college on the g.i. bi

vance in walz's debate prep. despite more help from two aides who also prepared the vice president for her debate, walz is reportedly nervous, scared he will disappoint harris. and even warned her that he is a bad debater. now, that could be a standard play to try to lower exceptions. but one democrat from his state lent some credence to this saying that walz can be very that's it i'm done. so his temperament will be under the microscope tonight. the campaign has really kept walz out of the media circuit since joining the ticket except for one joint interview with vice president haste where he squirmed under questions about misrepresenting his military record. today, the campaign ducked new questions about walz fudging the details on the time he spent in china and face nod questions about controversial bills he signed as minnesota's governor, like granting drivers licenses to illegal immigrants and making minnesota a sanctuary state for children seeking transgender surgeries. tonight, the goal is to put trump in

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

vance.ve been talking a lot about pennsylvania. if it all comes down to pennsylvania, it's so tied in every poll, but in 2004 george w. bush won a larger percentage of the american jewish vote than he had in the past and mitt -- that made a difference for him. in this situation, when we talk to a voter last week in pennsylvania and he said i've always voted for democrats but this year i'm a single-issue voter and that issue for me is israel and so i do think that walz has a more difficult time on that tonight but j.d. vance has an opportunity an opportunity to process -- that advantage. >> bret: interesting to see how much the focus on the main nominees of the focus or how much they focus on each other. they both have vulnerabilities that have been exposed on the campaign trail. >> are to be with you. i would agree. to dana's point, which builds on yours, i'm going to be looking to see as they go after the other, meaning he will go after trump, the other will go after harris, how cheerful ar

vance. the ohio senator largely kept things cordial in last night's debate focusing most of their attacks at their running mates at the top of the ticket. we are going to go through the big moments from what could be the final face-off between the campaigns before election day. we will bring you a live report from the middle east following a major escalation by iran launching a massive ballistic missile attack on israeli. we will have the very latest developments just ahead. two major stories this morning. >>> good morning. welcome to "morning joe." it's wednesday, october 2nd. along with joe, willie, and me, we have the host of "way too early" white house bureau chief at politico, jonathan lemire. msnbc political analyst elise jordan who is an aide to the white house department. the house to on brand with donnie deutsche who is with us. as well as professor at princeton university, eddie glaude jr. and the author of the book charlie sykes. we want to start with you. as i was nervously prepa

jd vance? was very calm, very collected, putting aside anything that was said last night, and i know that will drive people crazy, but forget about the facts, forget about what was said. just focus on the delivery and i do believe folks who were watching last night who might have had concerns about jd vance and his crazy comments about women and cats and what have you would probably feel a little bit better after watching last night's debate, having said that, let us acknowledge that this debate will actually mean nothing except for what alex said at the very top of the show. the very top of this segment. and that jd vance really has positioned himself for 2028 no matter what happens in very interesting they go ahead well, you know, i think marc caputo, one thing is pretty important there and that's that tim walz was not has not been doing the combat that jd vance has been doing on the trail. i think partly that's because kamala harris is not doing many interviews and they don't want tim walz o

senator vance, your closing statement. >> vance: i want to thank governor walz.folks at cbs and, of course, the american people for tuning in this evening and one of the issues with he didn't talk about was energy, and i remember when i was being raise abouted my grandmother when she didn't have enough money to turn on the heat some nights because ohio gets pretty cold at night, and because money was often very tight, and i believe as a person who wants to be your next vice-president, that we are a rich and prosperous enough country where every american, whether they're rich or poor, ought to be able to turn on their heat in the middle of a cold winter night. that's gotten more difficult thanks to kamala harris's energy policies. i believe that when you're rich or poor you ought to be able to afford a nice meal for your family. that's gotten harder because of kamala harris's policies. i believe that whether you're rich or poor, you ought to be able to afford to buy a house, you ought to be able to live in safe neighborhoods and ought to not have your communities

vance. >> trace: what about the topics because people talked about the topics tonight hitting climate change in january sixth. lost over the economy not a lot of the topics being talked about tonight they might not want to have talked about that but j.d. vance did and that's where the dominant debate performance cayman because he knows like president donald trump and it's unleashing the american worker and securing the border and he was able to focus on those issues and deliver drums plan to voters and it whizzed an hour until the word economy came up. we appreciate your time. governor tim was reportedly battling a case of the nurse before the big debate the senior white house correspondent jacqui heinrich is live in new york city with what impact that had on his performance. good evening. >> good evening it seems like an maybe it was an effort not to lower expectations might have just leaks out of the democrat operation and end and they were unbothered and he was a dancer question about a p

vance.teal the last election. he's focused on trump trying to steal the next election. and honestly, that is progress. but of course, it's not just the debate that matters. because yeah, some people form their opinion by watching it as it happens, but a lot more people form their opinion by watching other people's opinions. you know how you go to a fancy restaurant that took months to get reservations, it's so expensive, and at the end you're thinking, "that was not very good," but then the people at your table are like, "that was the best meal i ever had," and then you're like, "you know what, it was pretty good! maybe putting cannellini beans in ice cream wasn't disgusting!" and that's why both parties put so much effort into spinning the debate results, because it's effective. so let's get to the real debate, the one between the pundits. starting with the conservatives. they thought j.d. vance did a great job, so they were very happy to spike the ball. >> it was quite obvious that j.d. va

vance. but this is the only time in the modern era of televised presidential campaigns where the two presidential candidates only debated once. since harris and trump debated last month, harris has made clear she would love to have another debate with trump. so far, he has said no way. the democratic national committee is capitalizing on that fact right now by using a projector to look like trump is a chicken on to the outside of trump tower in new york city. they're goading him as if he might change his mind and say yes to another debate. i think basically no one expects he will, but who are we to say what could happen? none of us know. we're all just being buoyed along by an unpredictable tide. the vice presidential hopefuls tonight are going to have a lot to talk about. they could probably fill the full 90 minutes even if they were just talking about news of the day. there's a lot going on. hours ago, iran fired a barrage of nearly 200 missiles toward israel. no casualties have been repor

vance. did seem unsteady and friendly what i saw and walz is somebody who has not faced questions on a national stage since he became the democratic nominee. in contrast, j.d. vance was very smooth. >> i was getting text from democrats panicked, quite frankly, who were saying wow, he is really moderating himself on a lot of these issues, he is the most likable he has ever been. >> he seemed that many moments to be reasonable. >> walz did not seem prepared for it. >> a lot about this debate tonight was weird. >> there were on comfortable, cringing moments. >> there were so many niceties on that stage tonight. i'm kind of like, well, if you agree so much with j.d. vance, why should they vote for you? >> dana: judge, take it away. >> judge jeanine: i got to tell you, it is clear that even they understood that j.d. vance was solid, he was friendly, he was polite, he was disciplined, and he was the kind of guy that for the first time -- and by the way, 88% of the american people said that this wa

jd vance has been there. would like to hear more about abortion and considering what harris said about pence, i would like to hear clarifying comments on his stance on abortion. thank you. >> ok. pennsylvania independent. what do you want to hear? >> hello? >> nick in morehead, minnesota. democratic caller. >> hi. i'm a minnesota resident and a college student voting in my first presidential election. i want to hear about education issues, especially with the price of college in minnesota. governor walz helped make university tuition free for families that made under $80,000 a year. for my younger step wings, he made school lunches free-for-all k to 12 students and increase public school funding by 5.5 billion. so i want to hear about those in the debate tonight. bottom line is, he's been a fantastic governor. i think he will be a great vice president. minnesota has given the country to vice presidents in hubert humphrey and walter mondale. tim walz will be an incredible addition to that. >> what do you think

vance: we won't. i want to talk about this issue and a lot of americans don't agree that i ever said on this topic. i grew up in a working class family and i knew young women who decided to terminate pregnancies because they felt they didn't have options and one of them is dear to me and i know she is watching tonight and i love you and she told me that she felt if she hadn't had an abortion because she was in an abusive relationship. as a republican who wants to protect innocent life in this country and protect the vulnerable is that my he party we have to do so much better of a job at earning the american peoples' trust where they don't trust us and donald trump and i want to do. i want to be pro-family in the fullest sense of the word and support fertility treatments and make it easier for moms to have babies and easier for young families to afford a home and raise that family. there is so much we can do on the public policy front to give women more options. donald trump has been clear on the abort

vance, but j.d. vance might have to be in the spin room to continue to disband whether or not he lost the debate democratic congressman jared moscowitz. >> good to see you. thanks so much for joining us today. could tonight's debate do anything to change the trajectory of this very tight race exactly five weeks out from election day. my political panel joins us next ma'am, g7 is one of the easiest ways to take better control of your diabetes this small wearable replaced his finger sticks, lowers. they went see and it's covered by medicare. >> not managing your diabetes really a fix you're hail for the future. the older you get, the more complications you're going to see. >> a new i couldn't nor my diabetes anymore because it was caused my eyesight to go back for my patients, getting on deck, come g7 is the biggest eye-opener they've ever had. >> i couldn't believe how easy it this small wearables since my glucose numbers right to my phone or my receiver with just a glance, but i can see if i'm going

vance -- j.d. vance his beard is triggering.y conveying aggression and opposition to feminist ideals." i wonder who they are voting for? but if you really need any more evidence that j.d. vance crushed tim walz during last night's debate, take a look at this headline from "the new york times". "vance's dominant debate performance shows why he's trump's running mate. mark my words, this will have an impact on what is a very close race as senator vance pointed out, competently last night, leadership matters. and by the way, after nearly four years under biden and harris, are you better off than you were four years ago? is the economy better off, are the borders better off, are your towns and cities safer? how do you like paying a dollar plus more per gallon of gasoline and how do you think we are doing on the world stage? how is that war in europe going. we are on the verge of a complete like a breakout of war in the middle east. we know that harris is incompetent and it looks and feels like nothing but incompetence. you are not b

that was senator vance.hat we've seen out of vice president harris is calmness, understanding that our allies matter. when our allies see donald trump turn towards vladimir putin, turn towards north korea, when you see that type of fickleness, we will stay committed and as the vice president said is we will protect our forces and there will be consequences. >> start vance, you're next. -- senator vance, you're next. what do you think? >> i was raised in a working class family. my mother required food assistance for periods of her life. my grandmother required sociosecurity help to raise me. i stand here asking to be your vice president with extraordinary gratitude for this country, for the american dream that made it possible for me to live my dream. and i know a lot of you are worried that the american dream is unattainable. i want to convince you that if we can get better leadership in the white house, if we get donald trump back in the white house, the american dream is going to be attainable once again.

jd vance looks better.in your goal as a vice presidential pick is to make your boss look better and that is where i think tim walz was more successful. >> i actually think he succeeded because he actually communicated a policy for trump and trump could not communicate a policy at all in the first debate. and, he attacked kamala harris which is not something donald trump could really do and defined her because trump was so obsessed with defending himself. even tonight i heard from my top sources in advance that trump wanted jd to defend him even though they knew that was a waste of time, because what they wanted to spend their time on was defining kamala harris because there are some voters out there, believe it or not, you still want more information about her. they still think there is ambiguity around her so that's the opening. is your time to pivot away and go after kamala harris and that is why you did not hear him going after, you know, tim walz over stolen valor or even really following up on the tian

vance. i think we know j.d. vance. we know exactly who j.d. vance is.trump, one of the greatest strengths of donald trump, he's the great revealer. he reveals human beings for who they are. and what he's revealed about j.d. vance is j.d. vance has no core. not that we know -- we need to know what his core is. he has no core and that is what he's revealed about a number of people. j.d. vance just happened to be the lateef one. earlier with elise stefanik and marco rubio and people that we thought were sane with principles. but j.d. vance has no core. >> and we'll see what that looks like for 90 minutes on stage. no one is going anywhere. on the other side of the break, our friend chris quinn will join us. he's covered the rise of j.d. vance and tell us what he expects, which might help us know what we should expect from j.d. vance tonight. don't go anywhere. anywhere.

vance. they talked about the hurricane relief cactus strike on israel that was asked. there wasn't anything about the port strike vehicles and anything. >> could impact people's lives over the next few months in the way to compare them slowly nothing but it tonight,. >> 's that's going to be always the part of this debate as well. in the big question is, what comes next? all we know is there is 35 days to election night, and we have a lot of coverage right here on fox. call the way through. thank you for joining us tonight for tonight's vice president told debate,. >> always good to be with all of you for the big debate night. hannity is coming up next. stick around by going to the spin room break now.

vance's worst moment?uary 6th. >> senator vance, you have said you would not have certified the last presidential election and would have asked the states to submit alternative electors. that has been called unconstitutional and illegal. >> remember, he said that on january the 6th the protesters ought to protest peacefully, and on january the 202th, what happened? joe biden became the president, donald trump left the the white house. >> 140 police officers were beatennal -- at the capitol that day. several later died. howard: and cbs fact checked vance despite saying it would try to avoid the practice. >> just to clarify for our viewers, springfield, ohio, does have a large number of haitian migrants who have legal status, temporary protected -- >> the rules were that you guys weren't going to fact check. howard: the faceoff may not have that much impact on the campaign, but it's probably the last debate of this shortened race. i'm howard kurtz and this is "mediabuzz." ♪ ♪ howard: the media reaction was,

vance: may respond to that? if you notice what governor walz just said, he said donald trump tested listen to the experts and then we -- when he acknowledge that the experts screwed up, he said donald trump did not do nearly as good a job as they did -- honestly, i think you have a tough job because you got to play whack-a-mole. you have to pretend that donald trump did not deliver rising take-home pay, which, of course, he did. you got to pretend donald trump did not deliver lower inflation, which, of course, he did, and you simultaneously have to defend kamala harris' atrocious economic record which has made gas, groceries, and housing unaffordable for american citizens. i was raised by a woman who would sometimes go into medical debt so she could put food on the table in our household. i know what it is like to not be able to afford the things you need to afford. we can do so much better. to all of you watching, we can get back to an america that is affordable again. we just have to get back to common sense e

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 was senator vance. have seen auto vice president harris is we have seen steady leadership. we have seen a columnist that is able to be able to draw on the coalitions to bring them together. understanding that our allies matter. when our allies see donald trump turn towards vladimir putin, turn towards north korea, when we start to see that type of fickleness around holding coalitions together, we will stay committed. as the vice president today, we will protect our forces and our allied forces and there will be consequences. >> margaret: governor, your time is up. senator vance, same question. would you support or oppose a preemptive strike by israel on iran? >> senator vance: i want to answer the question. thanks, governor. thanks to cbs to hosting the debate and thanks to the american people were watching and caring enough to pay attention to this vice president shall debate. i want to give an introduction to myself a little bit. a lot of americans don't know who either one of us are. i was raised in

vance?ntry with a strong southern border and strong economy and a strong staining in the world. i think j.d. vance won that debate because he put all three of those issues on the table and a big way. the other big winner last night, donald trump. there was absolutely nothing in this debate that changes the trajectory of him going on in winning this election cycle. kamala harris needed a knockout and she did not get it. speed to first of all, this is what happens when debates in new york city and it is great for us. what was donald trump's initial reaction to j.d. vance's debate performance? also fact-checking the moderators in real time was a key moment that a lot of people are talking about. >> the president was very happy when i was texting him last night how great j.d. did and what a great night it was all around. he was very happy and very happy. that is where we are as a campaign. you look where we are in the battlegrounds. where we are in that issues and the polls and last night was a

vance put him in his place. here. >> iran is closer to a nuke to lahr weapon than they were before because of donald trump's fickle leadership. and when iran shot down an american aircraft in international air space, donald trump tweeted. >> you said iran is as close to a nuclear weapon today than they have ever been. when did iran and hamas and their proxy ises attack israel? of it was during the administration of kamala harris. so governor walz can criticize donald trump's tweets, but effective, smart diplomacy and peace through strength is how you bring stability back to a very broken world. lauren: repeateddedly, vance kept the conversation on kamala harris, the incumbent. and when they spoke about the economy, he hammered that point home. watch here. >> if kamala harris has such great plans for how to address middle class problems, then she ought a to do them now, not when asking for a promotion, but in the job the american people gave her three and a half years ago. and the fact that that she isn't, tells

vance.49%. >> john: tonight's lineup testifies to the twist in this race. senator vance was chosen to run by a former president trump against a totally different democratic ticket and before july, governor walz expected he would be watching his new boss, kamala harris, behind the lectern where he now stands. norah and market up during for the debate but the rest of the gang is here. chief washington correspondent major garrett. chief white house correspondent nancy cordes, chief election campaign correspondent robert costa and cbs news contribute or add gordon. major, i want to start with you. vice presidential debates. the cliche's do no harm but how do you see this? >> good to see you john and cecelia. as we contemplate the future of the vice presidency, moments pause to say happy birthday to james earl carter jr., 39th president of the united states through 100 years old today the first american president took a president to achieve that century milestone. today's headlines of iran's talk
