Walz campaign will talk about the debate tomorrow. Rachel, i knew that aljd vance weird. I knew that even before tim walz told me that jd vance is weird. But until i watched your jd program tonight, to say i didn't know the half of it i did know the tip of the iceberg , it turns out in the tip of the iceberg is a lot and rich an amazing and stranger than most politicians. But what you reported on tonight is just stunning. It left you at a certain part i noticed speechless and like the commercial came just in time because what else is there to ca say about this madness? i mean, there is a very traditional political science 101 way to look at jd vance which is like, less than two years as a senator and never held public office before that other than his time in public he service and all he has done his work for this guy peter and there is a political science way to look at it and then also your like dive in and look at the stuff he said on tape and who he says he gets his political ideas from and what his political ideas are and he brings nothing to the table really, aside from his sheer political skill nothing to the table other than his commitment to some deeply deeply deeply weird stuff that is complete news to the american people and totally off the charts bizarre in terms of modern politics and radicalism. I just have not known what to do with it for a very long time and i still don't. But it is there. I do appreciate, by the way your statement when you said when you're talking about it, the reluctance to even bring it up because do we want to give this stuff air and make that guy famous who is actually guiding jd vance is thinking, which is also stunningly weird that his nutty stuff is it s better that his nutty stuff isn't original? is that better? because you got it from this guru who admits the ceo is a dictator and you use all of this weird terminology over a late republican. Knowing that everybody who is clued into the sky will know exactly what you're talking about if that means you are rooting for caesar the dictator to come? it is so weird and so buried in the youtube comments like deep chat room nonsense. It is apparently really close to getting into the white house. A couple things. When that segment gets posted online on social media, gi wil retweet it and recycle it as best i can and when i come home tonight i will watch it again. I wasn't taking notes. I was standing in the hallway, rachel and you know there is a tv near the corner near the elevators and i was standing there at that elevator staring at you reporting this stuff to me. I will dump all of my open stuff so you can check it. A quick question before you go. If you had a wicked famous uncle who was certifiably insane and dangerous, would you become a clinical psychologist? oh. Is that like as a defense for your soul? maybe. That is what mary trump did. She will join us later in this hour with a new book about her family where i learned so much i new stuff about her grandfather, donald trump's father, and how donald trump or more about how donald trump became donald trump. She will join us with that later in the hour. You think you and looking forward to it. The stock market closed at another record alltime high today. This was four years after donald datrump said this in a presidential debate, a debate he lost to joe biden. If he is elected, the stock market will crash. Now, normally, we don't adjudicate predictions to be lies, but that prediction was so ridiculous on its face at that time that it really can be squared is alive. Donald trump knew he was lying when he made up that crazy en statement about the stock at market crashing. There will be lies. There will be lies in tomorrow night's vice presidential debate and cbs news and the host of the debate has decided to guarantee that those lies are delivered directly to you at home without any interference at all from cbs news. Cbs news has ordered the moderators not to fact check anything jd vance says. And, you know, no fact checking role, which comes from no journalistic principle whatsoever was put in place by cbs news to please the republican party in the republican campaign because the republican campaign lies every day nonstop. When one of the people on the trump vance ticket is speaking, lies are always falling, always. Even now when it comes to disaster relief, hurricane relief, which used to be a completely nonpartisan subject that nobody ever lied about. Donald trump even lied about that. [ inaudible ] donald trump lied about the republican governor of georgia not being able to get help frome president biden after the hurricane passing through that killed 132 people and spread severe property damage and flooding to six states. We do need some help from the federal government and they have to get together, ideally with that governor and that governor needs to he has been trying to get them. I am sure they're going to come through. But he has been calling the e president and hasn't been able to get him. B they will come through, i am sure. Usually, donald trump, when he is lying about the republican governor of georgia, governor kemp, he is attacking governor kemp for not helping him overturn the presidential election in georgia. And here is what georges governor brian kemp said publicly to everyone including donald trump's campaign staff and everybody rgheard this, before donald trump started lying about him today. The president just called me yesterday afternoon and i missed him and called him right back. He said, what do you need. A i said, we got what we need and we will work through the federal process and he did offer if there were other things we needed to call him directly e which i do appreciate that. Here is what president biden had to say about donald trump lining about how helpful president biden has been to thes governors dealing with this crisis. Mr. President donald trump has accused both of you of ignoring let me give it to you straight. He is lying. The governor told him he was lying. The governor told him he was e fine. I have spoken to the governor th and have spent time with orthem and he told him he is lying and i don't know why he does this and the reason i get so angry about it, i don't care what he says about me but i care what m he communicates to the american people who are needing it implying we are not do anythingl positive. We are. We are. And i assume you heard the republican governor of georgia that he was on the phone with me more than once. So it is simply not true and it is irresponsible. President biden explained to those people that he wouldn't visit the scene until later this week because he doesn't want resources diverted away from helping people in order to provide security for his visit. I am going to north carolina on wednesday and that is the plan now. We will be landing for briefing with the emergency operations center briefing and then do an aerial tour and too much for me in terms of interrupting access to help there to land and survey the damage and i will do it through the air. And then it is my plan to travel to georgia and florida as soon as possible after that. S vice president harris canceled her campaigning in nevada to rush back to washington. She did say this at the da headquarter in washington at fema. Over the last few days, i have received regular briefing from the impact of hurricane helene including from the administrator and over the past 24 hours i have spoken to governor kemp of georgia, governor cooper of north carolina and many local officials. I have shared with them that we will do everything in our power to help communities respond and recover. I have shared with them that i plan to be on the ground as soon as possible. But as soon as possible withoutu disrupting any emergency response operations because that must be the highest priority in the first order of business. So far, more than 3300 federal personnel are on the ground to assist with siiorecovery effort they are deploying food, water, and generators. We do continue to work with the teams on the ground to restore m water and power as quickly as possible. You all do that work around the clock as though the cr your family members and i know how you work and how hard you work. I am here mostly to thank you all for all you do. And to those of you who are rightly feeling overwhelmed by the destruction and the loss, our nation is with you. And president biden and i and all of the folks behind me are with you. We will continue to do everything we can to help you recover and help you rebuild no matter how long it takes. She did pick up some important endorsements for her candidacy from the new york times and the new yorker magazine. And another republican endorsement this time from erth former arizona republican senator jeff flake. I am a conservative republican who had the honor tou serve in my home state of arizona and the united states house of are presented as and us in the senate for nearly 2 decades. I do believe that america is a great country. I icbelieve that our best days lie ahead and i want to supportn a candidate for president who believes in the same. I believe that we don't have to agree on every issue or policy,g but that we should use the political process created by our founders to debate and persuade and not to disparage or demonize. I want to support a candidate who understands that political opponents are fellow citizens and the loyal opposition as our parties once knew each other and not the enemy. Having spent the last three years overseas as the united as states ambassador, i have seen up close that we have very real enemies abroad. We also have vital and indispensable allies. I want to support a presidential candidate who understands and appreciates the difference. I do believe in our constitutional system and in the rule of law. I want to support ana candidate who respects that we will let the voters or the will of the r voters and wouldn't use the power of the presidency to overturn a presidency after being voted on by the voters be and finally i want to support a presidential candidate who seeks to unite our country rather than one who divides us. One who represents the ideals of a new generation of leadership based on grievances of the past but hope for the future. For all of these reasons, i'll be supporting kamala harris for president and tim walz for vice president. I served with kamala in the united states senate. I have also served with tim in the united states house of representatives. I do know them. I know firsthand of their fine character and their love of country. I would encourage all republicans who feel this way to do the same. After all, the entire in times like these, there is nothing more conservative than putting country over party. This week's new yorker presents kamala harris on the cover and delivers the magazines endorsement of her candidacy by first making the negative case against donald trump. The threat to the country's future, to its rule umof law an its democratic institutions, cr security and character resides not in a foreign capital but a 20 acre xanadu on the florida coast on for nine years donald trump is represented an ongoing assault on the stability in the nerves and nature of the united states and his narcissism and casual cruelty, contempt for the truth has contaminated public life. The new yorker chronicled trumps madness from the criminal attempt to overthrow an election to the social onmed rant i hate taylor swift. And then the new yorker says, trump is a menacing presence inm american life, and most of his r former associates know it. Of his 42 core former cabinet secretaries, only half have endorsed him. More than 200 staffers for four previous rerepublican president and candidates have endorsed the democratic ticket. The new yorker said the choice is stark in the united states th simply can't endure another four years of donald trump and e he is the nature of chaos and an enemy of liberal democracy and the thread of america's moral standing in the world. Kamala harris who has shown herself to be sensible, humane and liberal minded is our choice for the presidency. The new york times editorial endorsed kamala harris is entitled the only patriotic choice for president. The editorial begins it heis hard to imagine a candidate more unworthy to serve as president of the united states than donald trump. He has proved himself morally unfit for an office that asks its occupant to put the good oft the nation above selfinterest and he has proved himself temperamentally unfit for a roll role that requires the very qualities, wisdom, discipline and restraint, humility, that he most lacks. Those disqualifying characteristics are compounded by everything else that limits his ability to fulfill the duties of lithe presidency and his many criminal charges, his advancing age, his fundamental lack of interest in policy, andk his increasingly bizarre cast of associates. This unequivocal truth that he is not fit to be president should be enough for any voter who cares about the health of our country and the stability of our democracy to deny him reelection. For this reason, regardless of any ocpolitical disagreements voters may have with her, av kamala harris is the only patriotic choice for president. The times editorial endorsed, the harris and said the number of republicans including from donald trump on residential administration who have turned against him is a record of denunciation without precedent in the nation's long history. In the times editorial makes the positive case for the vice president saying, ms. Harris is clearly the better choice. She has committed to using the help of her office to americans better afford the things they need to make it th easier to own a home, to support small businesses and to help workers. Be on the economy she promises to continue working to expand access to healthcare and reduces cost. She has a long record of fighting to protect women's health and reproductive freedom and globally ms. Harris would work to maintain and strengthen the alliances with likeminded nations who have long advanced american interests abroad and maintained the nation security. The times editorial ends with this. A second trump term would be much more damaging and divisive than the first. Kamala harris is the only choice. Yesterday in las vegas before leaving the campaign trail to return to washington, vice president harris said this. I know we will cheer on coach walls when he debates jd vance. But, listen, their debate shouldn't be the last word. I am trying to debate donald trump again. I think he should debate again in the american people have a right to hear us discuss the issues. As you say here in las vegas, i am all in. I am all in. I am all in. Even if my opponent is ready to fold. So there t you go. But you will remember in our first debate, i talked about issues like bringin
