Starts right now. Hi, ari. Hi, nicole. Ill share what we talked into the hallway late into the night. Everybodys working. Im watching. You made this great point that there are so many ways we are limited sometimes and the Taylor Swift endorsement matters to her fans and it matters to her listeners and you haveinvolved, involved and its tailor made for Girl Dads and i stewed in the hallway and ill tell the viewers, you are so poetic, taylormade and you said my synapsis are no longer firing. Id been on tv since 4 00. You know whats funny . I peaked in the Ride Home to see what folks are saying about the Coverage And Taylor swift fans were so mad, her fans are not young. No, i didnt mean theyre all wrong and i said her massive and vast base of super fans also includes my friends kids, because im old enough that my friends are buying tickets for their kids to go to Taylor Swift concerts. So its a Family Affair for just a sliver of her fandom and that is the young fans, but i am not i am a lot of things. I am not poetic. It was accidental poetry, and then but also the point youre making, there is something that happens with people that are unifying. We hear the word thrown around. Michelle obama has high numbers and we can assume shes unifying and Taylor Swift is unifying and if you have hundreds of millions of people who look to you for what you do, you are spanning some sort of bridge. With your synapsis as they are, ill let you go. Good to see you, nicole. Good to talk to you on and off tv. Thanks to nicole wallace. Our top story is Kamala Harris at the debate, taking control and the visuals and the atmosphere, and it all showed trump unmoored and he was inaccurate and sometimes unhinged and the collective result is a display where harris put trump on defense. Thats the Washington Post headline. The reality was palpable. The split screens that often contrasted trumps seething anger with harris more composed approach, the smiles and her rejoineders and no candidate wants to be on defense in the debate, especially not trump, a politician, who stakes his whole career of his supposed version of dominance, of going on offense. Thats more about what trump is according to his followers, what they say they like about him than any particular policy or promise. So this was uncomfortable turf for him and people saw it live. We can tell you tonight, 67 Million people watching, a higher number, for example, than the bidentrump debate. What happened Last Night matters because it reached so many more voters than any other political event this year, more than the conventions or president bidens big address announcing his exit and what is happening today, were seeing, is being burned into the public imagination. The idea, the view, the conclusion that harris won, and winning builds momentum, and people famously ditch losers. One day out i can show you the Trump Loss was on times cover, and the coverage has basically said harris bested trump and he was off balance and out of control. I think your adjective, i would go with fiery to begin. You had one candidate that was completely unhinged, just completely off his rocker. Kamala harris pitched a shot. The republican who called former President Trump wild and uncontrolled. Vice president harris had a plan. She stuck to her plan. Clearly Vice President harris kicked some butt. Ive never seen a starker contrast in presentation from two candidates in any debate in any type of contest in any political race. Thats the interpretation. Heres what they were interpreting. Donald trump was fired by 81 Million people. People start leaving his rallies early out of exhaustion and boredom. People dont leave my rallies. We have the biggest rallies, the most incredible rallies in the history of politics. Theyre eating the dogs and used for food. Springfield City Manager says theres no evidence. Well find out. They say youre a disgrace. You are a disgrace. It is well known that he admires dictators. Viktor orban, one of the most respected men, they call him a strong man. I know putin very well. A dictator who would eat you for lunch. Are you now acknowledging that you lost in 2020. No, i dont acknowledge it at all. We lost by a whisker and that was said sarcastically. I didnt detect the sarcasm. Clearly, he is having a difficult time processing that. Harris set the tone from the start. In a moment well show you, trump was going straight for his lectern apparently trying to avoid the traditional she crossed over into his area forcing him into the handshake. He found himself relitigating his record rather than picking apart harris and you may have seen the coverage and watched the debate, of course, he has a lot to defend, but remember, thats not automatic. Harris is still in the incumbent administration, and trump has previously turned many debates and other tv moments into attacks of his rivals and it is a function of how she performed and perhaps also where we are now after having dealt with trump for so long that he wasnt able to pull off those tricks Last Night even if he didnt steal or take more of the talk time. That same theme of defense was blasted in headlines in swing states. Heres Las Vegas Las Vegas sun. The national papers reported the same. Harris knocking him off course, trump in the spotlight in the worst way. Those are reports and accounts. There were also other indications about trumps poor performance from him. In contrast to the biden debate which we all lived through recently, Donald Trump got off the stage and began complaining about the abc moderators, complaining the network should have its whole license revoked which is not something you say when you are winning if you thought or won or did very well you would want to buck up the debate, not discredit it. And then theres the odd, but very Americana Tradition of the Spin Rooms. Weve shown you here file footage from back in the day. Im sure youre familiar with the custom, the Campaign Staff and the allies go into these socalled Spin Rooms and you say your side won no matter what. Its kind of an odd tradition well, trump was the first Debate Participant to ever drop in on one of the Spin Rooms himself in 2016 and he hadnt done it since then until Last Night. The post reporting Donald Trump showed up in the Spin Room after the debate, a rarity and obvious sign of his need to try to make the case to reporters that he had failed to make on the Debate Stage. You can see trump in Last Nights Spin Room, again, this is unusual and it hasnt happened in a long time and that same Post Article as you look at this visual said trump may have recognized he fell short and he tried to tell a much smaller audience in that Room Something different than what a much larger audience just saw on the stage, that he was on defense, that he lost the night. Trumps aides, they did the spinning, and some of his allies would also spin again, some of these people are literally paid to say he won, but i want to show you something really interesting here. Even his own allies conceding it was a bad night for trump. Senator Lindsay Graham said as much, conservative commentators who might have a bit more daylight between their careers and the future of trumpism went further. These are damning statements youre about to hear. Ill show them to you in a second. Big picture, the consensus is not only that harris won the debate, but she won it at this critical time. Thats the best thing a candidate can aim for in any debate and some years we know there are many and they all happen, but when you win the only debate scheduled right now between today and the rest of the election, you have a crucial edge. Her allies, though, at the same time amidst all of this admit nothing Last Night tells you who will win the election, as for the video i promised you we have the republican lawmakers from fox to voter panels, admitting, conceding, saying trump had a bad night or lost. Foxs Sister Publication the Wall Street Journal published a Piece Today saying harris clearly won the debate. And now i want to bring you a little Beat Video special. Pulled together if you were watching on another channel, we may not have seen this, some of the republican and conservative voices that have been much of this presented to viewers. Think about it. The Debate Prep for Donald Trump should be fired. This is pretty much her night. Youre saying she had a good night. Im saying she certainly did. Talking about migrants were eating dogs and cats, Thats Something Saturday Night live would do. He was awful tonight. She, on the other hand, was very well prepared. He was terrible tonight. Former President Trump did take a lot of the bait. He took all of the Bait And None of the opportunities. She pivoted better. She bated a former president of the United States to chase every rabbit down every hole. He was childish. He was creepy. He was cringy. We heard so many of the old grievances that wed long thought that trump had learned were not winners politically. He was wholly unprepared. Vice president harris was clearly well prepared, practiced, on the offensive much of the night. He went down a few Cat And Dog holes rather than Rabbit Holes tonight. I guess there are avenues worse than Rabbit Holes and even viewers went to hear alternative explanation of what happened on fox ended up hearing that. So if it was that bad, how does it shape the race . Well, someone who has been on Debate Stages, howard Dean And Obama Vet Amisha Cross when we are back together in 90 seconds. E are back together in 90 seconds. Nursing for 24 years. I had a fear that i wouldnt be able to keep up. I wanted all the boost i could get i heard about prevagen from a friend. I read the clinical study on it and it had good reviews. Ive been taking prevagen now for five years and its really helped me stay sharp and present. Its really worked for me. Prevagen. At stores everywhere without a prescription. Citis industry leading global payments solutions help their clients move money around the world seamlessly in over 180 countries. And help a partner like the World Food Programme as they provide more than food to people in need. Together, citi and the World Food Programme empower families across the globe. How many of you say Kamala Harris won after everything you saw tonight. Raise your hands high. How many of you say Donald Trump won, raise your hands high. One, two okay. So most of you say Kamala Harris. And thats on fox. We are joined by howard Dean And Amisha cross. Howard, what do you think happened Last Night . A lot of very good things from Kamala Harris. First, she did well. Of course, shes an articulate person and has been in the Vice Presidency for three and a half years and the thing that impressed me the most are the people who prepd her. Ive seen a lot of these and have been in some myself. She was so well prepped. What she did really was Help Trump to do the damage to himself and that is a double win for her. You know, and then, of course, he went off The Deep End with eating the dogs and the cats in springfield. The other thing is i will say the moderators, the abc moderators i thought did a very good job trying to hold trump to some modicum of fruitfulness which is incredibly important and the last thing ill say is he looked like an old man that wasnt ready for Prime Time that didnt know what he was talking about and thats exactly what happened to Joe Biden and Last Night went a long way to getting rid of Donald Trump. Amisha . I think thats exactly right. We know going into this it was the ceiling that had to be cleared was a lot higher for Kamala Harris and the expectation were higher and she exceeded all of them. She not only prosecuted the case, made him get off of message. Immigration was supposed to be his thing upon the economy was supposed to be his thing. She got him to walk into spaces where he was going to be accusatory and he would be defensive and usher in things from the dark web like what we saw about haitian migrants and crowd size. She came into this strong and show cased that strength with the handshake at the very beginning, but in addition to that, she knew her Talking Points and knew them well and did not get flustered and she was ready in a debate in a way that he thought it was going to be easier to play. She was there ready to play ball and she rattled that man and kept taking jabs over and over again and he fell for it every single time. Howard, i imagine the Spin Room, and we are so accustomed to the lies in d. C. In general and the gaffes Tell The Truth and Donald Trump on the one hand is a known, proven liar, and he does this thing and i followed it throughout our work here in journalism where on the big stuff sometimes he cant help it, so i showed he went into the Spin Room. He attacked the moderators and doing all of the things you do if you honestly thought he did poorly or lost. You were just on with 60 Million people, if you said it right and did it right, you would not need i follow up. Heres how he sounded on fox this morning. Last Night Fox News offered sent letters to your campaign and her Campaign Offering three dates of debates moderated by Martha And Brett. One is October 9 nothing arizona. I wouldnt want to have Martha And Brett. I would want someone else other than Martha And Brett, i would love to have frankly, Sean Or Laura lets give someone else a shot, but i dont think Martha And Brett were good Last Night. Howard, what do you make of trump and people around him, as we just showed, and some of the fox folks admitting reality . Well, you know, i think you have to understand this is related to the fight going on in the Murdaugh Murdock Family after murdock goes. Murdock and trump have had bad blood. This is what trump does. Its incredibly unpresident ial. I was thinking Last Night as i was watching if thing, who would vote for a guy like this . Obviously, hes going to get some votes, but hes not going to get votes about people who think carefully about the issues and the future of the United States. Hell get votes of really angry people, and as ive said all this whole campaign, this is a campaign about Hate And Rage in the republican party, and i think that Kamala Harris actually represents somebody who knows how to run the country and theres a lot of comfort in that. Amish, i want to read one of the lines that i think was striking. Quote, by any conventional measure harris won the debate by getting him to do her work in politico. Trump thrills his supporters by Shredding And Operative class assumptions about and adds by conventional standards won over clinton in 2016. Quote, harris plainly accomplished her objectives, and its hard to imagine shed begrudge him the extra five minutes. Amisha . We think all those things are true, just like polls are a snapshot in time. For Donald Trump he came Last Night and he was just not ready and even though he interjected multiple times and even though they were muted and magically became unmuted, every time he couldnt help himself, any it was about the exonerated five, haitian migrants or January 6th and trying to eradicate or erase what happened on that day. This is a guy who wont take responsibility for anything and a guy on a Vengeance Tour and all of that darkness about america and our future came out Last Night even for his closing statement. He couldnt it will you what his vision for america is because he was trying to throw all types of smad on Kamala Harris who gave us a clear vision for what a Harris Administration would look like. Donald trump became unravelled and he wasnt able to land any of the barbs that he was typically used to doing. He praised dictators and didnt want to stand for ukraine. I think that this is a guy who showed us himself what the contrast happens to be. He could not keep himself steady and his Talking Points and i dont think any on the right advised him to say half of the things he said when he got up there. This is the Donald Trump that he is and expecting him to show up as Anything Else was a disappointment. There was a lot of talk about pets, howard. Theres an old line that why do i tease the cat . Nothing, but the dog in me and the problem was Donald Trump was trying to cast these aspersions, lies, about other, but he ended up looking like the dog, like the idiot. Honestly, how do you defend the things he was saying and if youre a immediate voter looking at it, and that ing brs me to another thing i want to ask you about, howard. There are platforming and Fact Checking and when do you cut away and if were being honest. Theyre complicated. I thought it was a striking development to hear Kamala Harris suggest go to his rallies these days. Basically, platforming that experience which also did, in a way so that people can see where hes at now and people who have nostalgia or fond memories of what they thought he was like in 15, rather than debating that, its, look at what high is right now. Look at what he stands for, how he sounds, what hes saying about the world in reality. What do you think about that point, howard . I think that was the whole critical thing and she bated him into showing us who he really was and i think theres an awful lot of people they have who want to find out that. They cant quite bring themselves to vote for trump, well, me show us who he is Last Night and im pretty optimistic about this race. We have 56, and Kamala Harris proved she could do a damn good job of rung the country and Donald Trump is past his prime and psychiatrically ill as ive always thought. Howard and amisha, thanks to both of you. Taylor swift using the night to endorse and how thats helping the harriswalz campaign. There were fact checks and the public needs to know why trump lied Last Night and why it matters in the week ahead.

On a train, at home, at work. Okay, maybe not at work. Point is at xfinity. Were constantly engineering new ways to get the entertainment you love to you faster and easier than ever. Thats what i do. Is that Love Island . Perhaps we do not have in the candidate to my right, the temperament or the ability to not be confused about fact. You want a leader with a nuclear codes who is either genuinely confused about facts or constantly lying. Low bar, nonpartisan, nonideological and it is an issue for Donald Trump as a candidate that sometimes gets lost amidst everything else. According to many people, dont take my word for it, just a lot of what we showed you at the top of the broadcast harris effectively brought that to the fore, and thats why facts, as youve noticed have been such an issue in the maga era. The abc moderators did fact check him more than weve seen in other traditional debates and we turn to what is left, by no means a comment about what they did during their time, but if you watched the debate ill bet you noticed there were other things that required more indepth Fact Checking and thats why we have journalism. Trump tried to run from project 2025 and yet, lets keep in mind what he has said. I have nothing to do with project 2025. Heritage has done such an incredible Job And Theyll lay the Groundwork And Detail plans for what exactly what our movement will do. That was trump admitting he was aware of heritage, and he plans for him in his second term back before it got so toxic and controversial politically, but thats not the only evidence. Weve shown this before and i remind you tonight having heard Trump Run from it on the Debate Stage that in substance, the republican Platform Overlaps with some of those key projects of project 2025 especially on the big issue of abortion. I want to be clear. The platform does not 100 match 2025, but on many key issues, there is significant overlap and sometimes matching. Voters should know that so they can decide for themselves whether they agree with those plans. Trump also made the outrageous claim which was fact checked in real time and that you might hear about from people who repeat when he says. Take a listen. Her Vice President ial pick says abortion in the ninth month is absolutely fine. He also says execution after birth its execution, no longer abortion because the baby is born is okay, and thats not okay with me. That is false and just to be as clear as possible, it is a full lie. One of the ways that lies work in Life And Politics is people might say, well, its an exaggeration, but part of it must be true. Tim walz has never advocated or said it is okay to execute babies. Why are we even having this as a thing . Well, because hes a nominee, Donald Trump and hes pushing these lies. It also has nothing to do with traditional Abortion Policy under law. If you get into a situation where we are talking about the killing of a child its called infanticide and under law, state and federal, it is murder, not Abortion Policy. 1 of all women who do seek abortions do so after 21 weeks. So on a statistical level, while Lateterm Abortion is something that is brought up in politics and can sometimes rarely be an issue for women including when there is a Health Scare or medical emergency involving the Life And Safety of the mother, this is just not a common thing. Trump also denied the claims that hed support a national abortion ban. Again, we go to the tape. If Donald Trump were to be reelected he will sign a national abortion ban. As far as the abortion ban, no. Im not in favor of an abortion ban. I was able to terminate Roe V. Wade. I was so honored to have done it. Donald trump is the source of Todays Abortion bans. That is a legal fact because it is unpopular hes trying to Mud Dy it. Donald trump put the judges on the court who overturned roe and it is the Trump Abortion bans that we see across the nation and in florida just in the past two months he has been back and forth on his stance there apparently aware that being for Abortion Bans is now even for a republican, tough politics. Those are just some of the fact checks we wanted to get in. We will fit in a break and the Trumpharris Debate was not the only big moment Last Night. While the candidates sparred, Taylor Swift was readying an endorsement that both sides wanted, but only the Harris Side got and we have new numbers of what its doing next. What its doing next hellooo new apartment. One bank for now. For later. For life. Chase. Make more of whats yours. Everybody wants super straight, super white teeth. They want that hollywood white smile. New sensodyne clinical white provides 2 shades whiter teeth and 24 7 sensitivity protection. I think its a great product. Its going to help a lot of patients. Im not old enough to vote yet, i thinkbut i learned how great one out of six of us will someday be raped. So please think about me when you vote. I learned how our freedom to have an abortion was taken away. Even in cases of rape or incest, even to travel to get an abortion. Please think about me. You know who got rid of Roe V wade. Now women are being refused lifesaving care at hospitals, and politicians are trying to ban birth control. Please think about me. My parents call me their Miracle Daughter because i was born with ivf. But ivf could be banned, too. Do they think were less than human . Do they think we cant make decisions . About our own bodies . About our own lives . When you vote, please think about me. And me. And me. Because the politician who got rid of Roe V wade, he couldnt care less. You founded your Kayak Company because you love the ocean. Not spreadsheets. You need to hire. I need indeed. Indeed you do. Our matching platform lets you spend less time searching and more time connecting with candidates. Visit indeed. Com hire Shake It off, Shake It off you belong with me ive got a blank space, baby, and ill write your Name Taylor swift is the most popular singer on earth today. She has an impact that has really redefined what artists can do with the combined reach of music and digital streaming and global touring and an internet following. The current and former president just as a baseline have 15 to 30 Million followers on instagram. Thats more than most people who use the internet. Theyve both been president , after all. Swift does not have double or triple their numbers. Taylor swift has ten times that, 280 Million followers on instagram, many millions more across other platforms. Her popularity and pretty golden image is in demand by basically every top entity you can think of from the richest companies in the world like apple to brands like the nfl, to heads of state, to politicians and right off the top ill tell you Donald Trump tried to lie his way into a Taylor Alliance this year. It was earlier in this Campaign Season when Donald Trump falsely claimed he had Taylor Swifts backing because he wanted it, and he thought, confusing even some people about that would help him because he knows Taylor Swift is a huge deal. He posted some amateurish ai images with those false claims online and well come back to that in a moment because it hurt him, but first, the news that rocked the political and musical worlds just on debate night. Taylor swift coming out on the Big Night to back the Harriswalz Ticket officially and not just a little statement to the political press, but owning it and blasting it to all of her followers online. The endorsement of every politicians wildest dreams, the most famous Cat Lady in the world. One voter ready to speak now. Taylor swift is now in her endorsement era, get it . Im a swifty. Donald trump will have a hard time shaking off that debate. She has 383 Million instagram followers. She said, quote, i will be casting my vote for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz. I am incredibly grateful to Taylor Swift. I say that also as a cat owner, a fellow cat owner. Would i get there faster if i were a man . This may be a sort of Door Swinging open for the Girl Dads for harris. I guess ill just stumble on home to my cats say i didnt, say i didnt warn perhaps the most anticipated and potentially most consequential Celebrity Campaign Endorsement that weve seen. The most consequential, the Running Mate responding in real time and he knows it helps the Harriswalz Ticket and swift has turned her following into Civic Action before, even in far less hyped and less known races and a reminder, about six years back she supported in tennessee, which helped skyrocket and she has even in her own work shared the regret she says she later felt when she sat out past races even though her values and womens rights were on the line. Taylor swift comes out against trump. I dont care if they write that. Im sad that i didnt two years ago, but i Cant Change that. Im saying right now that this is something that i know is write and you guys, i need to be on the right side of history and if he doesnt win, then at least i tried. The right side of history, at least i tried. A lot of people in politics could learn something from her right there. Republicans and the Maga Crowd have only dialed up the pressure on swift since then which again, is a sign they view her as a threat as someone who can effect their power and campaigns and rightwing voices online were taking a preemptive strike with the Conspiracy Theories about some biden pact to take over the Super Bowl with a bidenswift endorsement deal. That did not happen, but that storyline was trying to suggest something, somehow sinister about her civic role to bully and quiet her. Maga pundits were on the attack and the implied threat was if she opposed trump this time this year her Career And Life would even get worse. Some pledged to, quote, Holy War Against Taylor Swift if she backed the democrats when biden was the nominee and that brings us back to Donald Trump trying to muddy the waters with his usual playbook of lies because he posted those false claims about the endorsement, i showed you the headlines and so note where Taylor Swifts new Harris Endorsement begins. She calls out trumps abuse of those ai images to falsely suggest that she had somehow endorsed trumps president ial run and notes that he was responsible to those sites and she begins with this clear rebuttal. In this time of misinformation which people in The Public Eye face, quote, the simplest way to combat misinformation is with the truth, and she shares her truth outlining her support for Harris And Walz contrasting their calm to Donald Trumps chaos. You see what she says there, we could be led, by, quote, calm and not chaos. And ill say something else here. Im talking you through tv which is an older medium, Old School Communications tend to be one way and at a distance, but the world is changing. Taylor swift is a swift sophisticated Tools Today and it is not random and quite striking that she used a very particular message to get within the weeds of action within the same Endorsement Announcement telling her huge Fan Base telling people who may not have done this before that firsttime members need to remember in order to vote you have to be registered. If you havent done it, you might not know that and shes getting ahead of it as a part ispatory way, and she signed it the childless Cat Lady, and its her cat which is a swiftyian tweet which makes it more catchy and the misogynistic and euphemistic phrase of his own. Karma is a relaxing thought, arent you envious, and for you its not and that applies very clearly politically to j. D. Vance right now, the loser of this endorsement primary and also applies to Trump Backer and Billionaire Elon Musk who today responded by musing about, quote, giving Taylor Swift a child, a sexist and clearly swiftobsessed response that shows how these men are unable to deal with her and what she does with her power. That same song actually continues, karma is a cat, burying in my lap, me and Karma Vibe like that. People are vibing. Most people when you post online if you have a few thousand likes youd think that was a pretty strong post for the year. Within a day the Harris Endorsement post has topped 9 Million likes and counting, direct referrals to the Voter Registration Site that she flagged are already topping 330,000 as of this morning for vote. Org. Well be updating that number as it rises. That is just the overnight number. A swift response. It could hit million happens over the weeks ahead so the swift effect is measurable and during the debate they tracked this. Surges went up and then it tapered off. As the Debate Wound down as the Washington Post reports and then, quote, when Swifts Endorsement dropped it jumped back up. Thats remarkable, Taylor Swiftee fewest Endorsement Post is on par as theyre generated for the super famous candidates it will advised in the debate. Who is afraid . It is old me . Someone once asked, someone on the right lost this contrast over her endorsement and clearly musk, Vance And Trump and some of their allies who have been taught a lesson here, that all of the lies, tricks and political bullying failed. Now we dont know whats going to happen in the election. The vote is up to you, but Taylor Swift and Kamala Harris have their own paths and very different careers and their own type, but it is worth knowing that the two know a thing or two about breaking barriers and promoting their work with these same old disrespect as the same old haters. Well, maybe these two women also share the fortitude to Shake It off and the confidence to even have fun while doing it. And im keeping the weight off. Wegovy helps you lose weight and keep it off.

Nothing, nothing that could have made tonight any better for Kamala Harris. She has just posted that she watchedt the debate tonight, a that she is endorsing Kamala Harris. [ cheers and applause ]. I stand corrected. The joke is how big the Taylor Swift endorsement is on colbert ntthere. Lb our own Rachel Maddow called one of the most if not one of the cultural Celebrity Endorsements of the year. Were joined by editor for teen vogue. What does it mean . I think it means a lot. Itsan significant she did this now. Were covering Taylor Swift and this election a lot. We recently published a whole timeline how her political views have evolved other time. Going back to 2012, she was a lot younger. She did not feel that she did not feel confident to speak out on c political issues or about certain races. Thats why she sat out in 2016. As you pointed out she now regrets. But for her to do this now, its about a month earlier than she endorsed biden in 2020. I think thats significant because shes encouraging her fans to register or check their registration and shes encouraging them to vote early. So i do actually think doing this a month earlier than last time could have an impact. Shes moving earlier than last cycle and it felt like a much more detailed embrace. Yes. Withta biden she famously posted a photo. And everyone got the message. But this was a discussion of harris. Yeah. Absolutely. I think certainly what we know from her songs and her Fan Dom an her whole base is that Womens Autonomy is incredibly important to her andmy i think e referenced that and sees that in Kamala Harris. And ast abortion Rights Contin to be restricted across the nation, thats continued to be a very important issue to her. And of course, as she signed it, childless Cat Lady with a dig at vance. The Misogamy And Sexism we see from the republicans i think is something that personally offends thher. Na Elon Musk is a very powerf person and has a lot of very powerful and important people. He is also famously a troll. But what does it tell you that She Cat lyses or triggers these male responses . Because its hes in publicly traded companies that she still has a lot of control over and private companies. But people who run other companies might lose their job for what he said about her today. Yeah, yeah. Thats a great point. I think his daughter actually said it best, shes already reacted to it. His statement. And she called it sexist and nonsense. Pretty much sums up musks feed. Yeah. I think thats it. Andah i mentioned the effort which you have to take seriously, how trump and the right wanted to both muddy this in advance and maybe hopefully they thought push her out. Trump was still talking that way because this is a big enough deal that he was i asked about a today. He talked about her paying a price for it. Take a listen. Well, i actually like mrs. I actually like mrs. Mahomes much better, if you want to know the truth. Shes a big trump fan. I was not a Taylor Swift fan. Shell probably pay a price for it in the marketplace. Hes lying. He was passing himself off as accepting her endorsement. Which means ally or fan. Hes changed the subject. Thats what he does. And then saying shell pay. Yeah. I think its scary because we know what his own rhetoric can do to inspire his base and his supporters. This is something that taylor has referenced herself, which is that she stayed quiet on politics in the early part of her career because she was brought up in a time where everybody told her, especially in country music, dont do what the Dixie Chicks did, because what happened to them, the o industrization, the Death Threats for opposing an Iraq War which now the whole republican party came around to opposing, they were early leaders. They were. Its a nice bit of symmetry they performed at the dnc this year. Understandably she was scared of that. When trump says things liked shes going toru pay the price, thats an unfortunate signal to some of his supporters to harass her or worse. It was striking how these things happen. In the movie you say, really, this all happens . We have been saying that all year. But we were in the News Room Anh following the debate. There was not even a question that you would bring this news out, that you would ask Tim Walz about it. Et cetera. Lets look at how this broke Last Night. The endorsement of every politicians wildest dreams, the most famous Cat Lady in the world. One voter ready to speak now. Taylor swift is now in her endorsement era. Get it . Im a swifty. Donald trump is going to have a hard time shaking off that debate. 283 Million instagram followers. I dont think you know about this. She says,no quote, i will be casting my vote for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz. I am incredibly grateful, first of all, to Taylor Swift. I say that also as a fellow cat owners. Im so tired of running as fast as i can. And jen psaki. What do you think this does for the youth vote, which is something youve been tracking . Ime talked to the Campaign Manager swifties for kamala. Voters of all ages have been en energizing. I think the timing coming when it does in early september with lots of time to register and vote early is going to help. Yeah. And the people who follow politics really closely, know where they stand. W yes. So everything here in these last eight weeks is about other folks. She certainly reaches a lot of other folks.
