She would not have been the chosen one. Please joins me tonight to respond later, historian Doris Kearns Goodwin, on the first very first televised debate, the president ial debate inside The Inside View she had of it. And the lessons that holds for tomorrow all right. Im good evening. Thanks for joining us. Take a look. This is the first picture just released by Abc News from inside the national Constitution Center in philadelphia. 25 hours from now it happens the first and so far only scheduled debate between Vice President harris and former President Trump, not just their first debate of the campaign. Therell be the first time theyve ever actually met Vice President harris arrive late today after what the campaign said it was a long weekend of Debate Prep and campaign appearances in pittsburgh and a conversation with nationally syndicated Radio Personality Rickey smiley, which aired this morning. In it, she laid out her plans for helping Small Businesses if elected and talked about what shes expecting Tomorrow Night he played through this really old and tired playbook, right . Where he, theres no floor for him in terms of how long he will go and we should be prepared for that. We should be prepared for the fact that he is not burdened by telling the truth the Campaign Today also unveiled an ad which will be airing tomorrow in philadelphia, as well as the Maralago Area featuring unflattering clips from trumps own former top officials it should come as no surprise that i will not be endorsing Donald Trump this year this defense secretary, do you think trump can be trusted with the nations secrets ever again . No. I mean, its just irresponsible action that places our Service Members at risk, places our Nations Security at risk is national security adviser Donald Trump will cause a lot of damage the only thing he cares about is Donald Trump well, new polling from the New York Times with good news for the former president and his 48 to 47 advantage among likely voters is within the Polls Margin of error, meaning no clear leader. The times describes it as the first ladys hadnt a major nonpartisan national survey in about a month additionally, 28 of likely voters say they need to lea the stakes considerably for the former Vice President Tomorrow Night. If as the polling suggests, shell be making a first impression on so many voters. Now, in that same polling, just 9 said they need to learn more about the former President Trumps spent much of the weekend on familiar ground suggesting, yet again, with no evidence yet again, that this election will not be free and fair and threatening Campaign And Election officials quoting from his social Media Post when i win, those people that cheated will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law, which will include long Term Prison sentences. So that this depravity of justice does not happen again he went on those involved in unscrupulous behavior will be sought out, caught in prosecuted at levels. Unfortunately, never seen before in our country. He also had this to say about his plans for mass deportations of undocumented immigrants in colorado. There was so brazen theyre taking over sections of the state and, you know, getting them out will be a bloody his story should have never been allowed to come into our country. Nobody checked him a lot to talk about tonight. Cnns Priscilla Alvarez starts us off. She has been traveling with the Vice President is at the debate site, so what more do we know about how the Vice President is prepping . Well, anderson, one source describing this to be as robust Debate Prep, of course, the Vice President has sorted those Debate Preparations last month, but she hunkered down with her inner group of advisers over the last few days in pittsburgh. Now, its down to the wire sources telling cnn that her Debate Team is preparing bring her for potential insults, name calling, and derogatory comments from the former president. But they also want her to stay on message and stay focused. You mentioned there are some of the polls and voters wanting to know more about who she is. Well, one, harris allies telling me earlier today, the Vice President is keenly aware of this. She also sees this as an Opportunity Kennedy to introduce herself or reintroduce herself to voters and her own vision for the country, knowing that she needs to reach those persuadable voters, those undecided. So this is going to be another opportunity that theyre going to use to try to do exactly that. But of course, all of this is going to call me in that first Facetoface Encounter, one that aides and allies say she has been waiting for, for a long time. Anderson alvarez. Thanks very much. Now to cnns Kristen Holmes at the Trump Campaign. What are you learning about . The former president s strategy for Tomorrow Night . Well, anderson, if you talk to the Trump Campaign, they say everything Donald Trump does is Debate Prep, whether it be taking questions at the New York economic club or sitting out for a town hall. But that also means no actual Debate Prep in terms of mock debates, known as sitting and playing the Vice President know isnt sitting in playing the moderator. We do know, obviously weve reported that he has these Policy Sessions in which he talks to his leading advisers about various policy and how to pivot away from specific questions to the topics they want him to focus on, like immigration, like inflation and the economy like crime, and whether or not that works, well see on the Debate Stage on tuesday, but i can tell you this talking to a number of his allies, the big concern they have is not what he says its about policy, but its whether or not he lets Kamala Harris get under his skin and whether or not he loves those personal attacks, they want him to stay away from all of that they are very keenly aware of, obviously of his Tone And Temperament and think that it could be bad if he has any reactive moments to Kamala Harris, they have stressed this to him. They are just hoping that Donald Trump, who shows up on Tuesday Abides by this, listens and stays calm all right. Kristen holmes, thanks very much. We touched him, the former president s renewed implication of election conspiracies at the top of the program. In another example, he focuses on pennsylvania and im quoting is posting now an interview by Tucker Carlson of an Election Expert indicates that 20 of the Mailin Ballots in pennsylvania are fraudulent. Here we go again. Wheres the u. S. Attorney general and fbi to investigate . Wheres the pennsylvania Republican Party . We will win pennsylvania by a lot, almost the dems are allowed to cheat the rnc must activate. Now, perspective now joining us former Virginia Republican Congressman Scott Taylor and Ashley Etienne who served as communications its instructed Vice President harris and former Republican Congressman adam kinzinger, who served on the January 6 committee and has endorsed Vice President harris scott. I mean, hes lying about this in pennsylvania. Theres no widespread election voter fraud. Theres no evidence of it in Mailin Ballots people just discount this. It just like at this point is just like, oh, this is what he does. But is this acceptable . I mean, hes basically its do you you think this is acceptable . Listen, listen, anderson, there are a lot of folks out there, literally millions of americans who had a big problem with 2020 well, i know, but its just factually they dont have any evidence like courts looked at it. I know a lot of people because its promoted on a lot of networks and a lot of radio networks. But just saying a lot of people feel this doesnt make it true. I think, you know, its not true, i assume, but theres no evidence look, as i said before, there are tons of irregularities in the 2020 election that never happened before, right . There are people who have problems with it and thats something i think its a good topic. What are the tons of regularity . Sure suspension of state law, State Laws that didnt have before covid Drop Boxes that are unsecure. Theres tons of things out there that change in 2020 that are still there. Now, i think this is, as i said, look, i ran in 2020 and i lost in 2020, but there are many people to include folks in my family and will you had issues with The Way that 2020 was handled, had issues with zucker blocks, for example, hundreds of millions of dollars being sent through nonprofits to do get out the vote. Theres people who think the earth is flat. Again theres people around the dinner table. I think the earth those are facts. Those are facts. Congressman kinzinger i mean is this normal . I mean, its amazing to me how this has now just like, oh, of course, hes tweeting out this stuff about this denigrate the election its disgusting. And man, scott, i love you, but Come On dude, are words have an impact on this country. But country that you and i both thought for people look up to people, even besides Donald Trump, for a taste of whats going to happen, the this election when Donald Trump is saying this is exactly what he did before 2020 when he is saying that the election is going to be stolen all hes doing is setting up so that when he loses, if he loses, he can then turn around and say, see, i told you it was going to be stolen. Its going to be stolen. Lets be clear about dropboxes to what dropbox is are not is a box that you open up theres just a ton of unlabeled ballots with loads on it and he thrown through a voting machine, you have to put your name on your ballot, you sign it when it goes into the secretary of states officer, whoever is counting, they can compare and see this Person Vote on by Mailin Ballot or any other way, if not great, if its legitimate accounts and if you show up the vote on election day, youll be denied because you voted in this dropbox all of the secretaries of state that ran the same. The Trump Campaign should be encouraging people to vote early, invoked convenient time, but instead its more important actually ashley, let me go to you. I mean, whats interesting . Thing is that if you dont, there actually, there, are, people who committed Election Fraud and they were attorneys allegedly working for the former president who actually orchestrated a plan to get voting machines, get voting machines, take them to Hotel Rooms and break into them and theyre being prosecuted right now in states throughout the united states absolutely. And those people have some of them have pled guilty in the others have been indicted, and those are those staffers as close to the former the former president , one of whom was actually his former chief of staff. But, interesting the reason i wanted to jump in here because you talked about evidence of cheating and there is actual evidence of trying to cheat the election. It was President Trump. He called Georgia Secretary of state and asked for 11,000 votes. You could actually cue that video. Theres audio of it. He doesnt even deny it. He was impeached the first time for attempting to try to cheat the election, and then to your point, he launched a national scheme to actually do that. And when he did not not succeed, what did he do . He threw an entire tantrum and incited an insurrection, a deadly insurrection at the u. S. Capitol. So the only evidence of trying to cheat the election to your point is coming from Donald Trump and im not sure how republicans can defend his actions and called themselves patriotic. I think that is really whats confronting them now, its the truth is in front of them. Theyre denying it to the former Congressmans Point and we need to actually just be honest with american people. Its Donald Trump who consistently draws a g20 election. Scott, if you want to respond yeah. I mean, of course, lets not question each others patriotism. Thats ridiculous and absurd. But the reality is there are folks who have issues with this. They want to have a safe and secure election just like anyone. And the present former president is highlighting that and every time you make the argument, every time every time you start your argument with their people who believed this it weakens your argument. I mean, thats classic high School Debate Stuff like if thats your thesis, there are people interested leave this anderson, thats all that means with all due with all due respect with all due respect. And that would be the same the steele dossier, Hunter Bidens laptop lag, lab leak theory, dismissal, jussie smollett, and so on. So on, on this network. To beat, to be honest, i mean, you guys didnt have the facts, correct there right. And people believe those things with all due respect. Well, that was not attempting to overthrow an election. Theres also things that are something wrong. And people that say, what is proven wrong. Oh, really adam, this russia, Russia Wasnt an Hunter Biden laptop, Wasnt Attempt to, be in there and save of course, it wasnt of stayed the same and election is going to be stolen and lying about it is the equivalent of the steele dossier, which was disproven after the election quickly was not used in 2020. And even the Hunter Biden stuff, who was not running for president , hes never run for president. Hes not attempting to go when the oval office, but hes an obsession with people ashley, i mean, do you see this as the president basically just trying the former president just trying to kind of throw everything against, see what sticks. Election. Theres Election Fraud, theres all this stuff, or is it . Kind of kind of preparing The Way for if he loses challenging i mean, i think its a d all the above. I think hes trying to muddy the waters. I think hes trying to confuse the issue. I think hes misleading the public, obviously, because as i said, it was him who actually made the Phone Phone Call trying to get 11,000 votes when he didnt win, georgia. So but hes also setting up a Dynamic And Excuse for when he loses. So i think all of these things are true, but i think whats most disappointing is that some people keep perpetuating all of these lies that Donald Trump put out there, that he puts out there. I mean, there not telling the american people the truth, which is there was there was a failed attempt and it was at the hands of Donald Trump Congressman Kinzinger, your former house gop colleague, Liz Cheney, announced shes going to be voting for Vice President harris. I want to play a little bit about her talking about coming to that decision and then were also would serve sanders, the Arkansas Governor said in response to a vote i ever cast was for Ronald Reagan in 1984. Ive never voted for a democrat. Wow and it tells you, i think the stakes in this election Donald Trump presents a challenge and a threat fundamentally to the republic. Im not trying to be rude, but you dont get to call yourself a conservative or republican when you support the most radical nominee that the democrats have ever put up, frankly, i dont think this is news. It should come as no shock that Liz Cheney is not supporting the president Congressman Kinzinger, youve endorsed Vice President harris. Do you still consider yourself a republican i do. Because look, i mean, honestly, The Party left me. You look at what i believe the things i still a espouse, like Theres Nothing different than when i was in congress. I mean, age, moderate to you on a few things, a little bit but i didnt change. So you have to ask yourself, why is it that Liz Cheney and myself are not welcomed by the Republican Party . Is it because we all of a sudden change to what we vote for, we want higher Tax Or Something no. Its because we did not bow the knee to Donald Trump. So that is the Litmus Test of being a republican is can you do . But then Donald Trump . And will you, no matter what . And if youre unwilling to do that, evidently The Party doesnt want you and Donald Trump even said he doesnt want Nikki Haley voters. So this is an issue for The Party, not for me. I can look at myself in the mirror quite happily. And taylor, do you think a cheney of the cheneys, both of them endorsing harris, do you think that that matters . I mean, do you think it has any impact given The Way the Republican Party has now, where its moved like both, both liz and adam and for Vice President cheney, like i have Nothing But Respect for all of them and i start with adam, i served with liz and i appreciate what i have. No i dont question the authenticity of their decision to vote for whoever they want. Juan and i respect their choice. I deeply disagree with them and i dont believe that its the right thing to do for them to do that i will say i think that there is a realigning both domestically and politics as well as Around The World. But The Party has changed and thats not unnatural. Thats happened many times throughout our history, quite frankly, with the realigning of police well, lets x and you see that happening in real time. And i think that for a lot of folks that are in the bubble, a lot of folks that are in dc its its its challenging for them for this type of change. But i dont think it really moves the needle to be honest with you, were gonna take a quick break. Well have more ahead. I want to focus more on the debate, namely tactics and preparation, how they might shape what voters see Tomorrow Night. Later, Jessica Leeds, what she says about
