Morning those lost and still missing. One year since the horrific Terror Attack on israel as the 11th Hour gets underway on this monday night. Good evening once again. Im Stephanie Ruhle. We are now 29 days away from the Election Day but today was a day of mourning. Its been one year since the October 7 Terrorist attack on israel. At the White House, president Joe Biden held a Candle Lighting Ceremony to remember the victims and he reaffirmed u. S. Support for israel while Vice President harris repeated the Administrations Commitment to securing a Ceasefire Deal and the release of israeli hostages. We will have the latest on the conflict later this hour. Meanwhile, the 2024 candidates have less than one month to get their message out. The Harris Walz Campaign launched a Media Blitz over the weekend with a pretaped interview with Vice President harris on the podcast call her daddy and a Sitdown Interview with 60 minutes. One of The Ways we know we can uplift the ability of women to have choices is uplift the ability of women to have economic health and wellbeing. When you invest in small businesses, you invest in the middle class, and you strengthen americas economy. Small businesses are part of the back one of americas economy. Important, Vice President , the question was, how are you going to pay for it. One of the things, im going to make sure that the richest among us, who can afford it, pay their fair share in taxes. It is just the beginning of a slate of scheduled Sit Downs the Campaign Hopes will get them in front of more voters, even as republicans continue to criticize them for blaming the press. On the Flipside Donald trumps angry rhetoric is only anticipated. Over the weekend the former President Light again, suggesting that democrats tried to kill him and that they are cheating in this election. With that lets get started with the help of our panel. Peter baker is here, chief white House Correspondent for the New York times. Susan glasser, Staff Writer for the New Yorker and personal boss of Peter Baker joins us, and mark leibovitz, Staff Writer for the atlantic. Hes no relation to susan or peter. Peter, were going to let you go first. Can we just look at this . 60 minutes, call her daddy podcast, howard stern, late night shows, the view. I interviewed Vp Harris for 25 minutes a week and a half ago on the economy. Her campaign promised that she would be getting out. Here she is. Whats the strategy . The rally stage, the summer of joy has kind of worked itself through. Its gotten as far as it can get. They need to mix it up again, to try and see if they can earn some more votes and when would you do it is by making the story fresh. The need to have a fresh story by doing interviews, by having conversations, by attracting voters who may only be turning in now to pay attention to the campaign. So i think that theyve got a few weeks left. Theyve got 29 days to make the difference with this handful of people, Really small number of people theyve got left. Interviews are one way. Now many of them are not as tough as you are. A lot of them are going to be friendly interviewers but a few like 60 minutes are legitimate journalists like msnbc, like you and other interviewers, mixing it up between those and the ones where she feels like she can have a little bit of interactions with, that will be more friendly and perhaps fun for the audience but she has to answer tough questions and i think she wants to show that shes not afraid of tough questions, and thats why shes doing some of these lets just stick with that, susan, because he was criticized for not doing interviews. Now shes criticized that the interviews are too friendly. The goalpost keeps moving for her. Are they going to stop . Is there something she can do to make them stop or is it Really theyre just goading her to do more and more, hoping more exposure will mean she will slip up and make a mistake . Look, 29 days out of a too close to call election, of course the other side is rooting for her to make a mistake and to screw up but im struck by the fact, stephanie, that there is no obvious kind of what the campaigns are Calling Tentpole moment left in this campaign. One of the reasons harris has to go out and do all of these interviews is because there is no more debates. Donald trump has not accepted she has accepted the proposal to do a third president ial debate this year or the second between the two of them. Trump is refusing to do that or go after the Vice President ial debate last week there is no other obvious moment of sort of convening a massive audience and their hope was that 60 minutes has a very highly rated the most highly rated news program, would be the opportunity to do that. Donald trump backed out of his own 60 Minutes Interview so if youre looking for a contrast, obviously thats a pretty sharp contrast that harris was willing to sit down with 60 minutes and Donald Trump. They did have, by The Way, a blistering introduction in which they pointed that fact out and that Donald Trump not only refused to do the interview, but was lying to 60 minutes itself about what he claimed they had done to him in their 2016 interview. A vintage moment, Really. 60 minutes brought receipts. Lets talk about the comparison, mark. Because drum canceled on 60 minutes. Hes refused to do another debate. I have asked him every single day since i sat down with Vp Harris, ive asked the Trump Campaign, would he sit down, same rules, one topic, the economy, lets do this, and hes not doing any of those things. Hes going on Fox News and ultra friendly podcasts to promote his campaign and his business is. So republicans, are they Really in a position to criticize here . No, of course not. I think what this underscores is Donald Trump is running a base campaign. Base i guess has sort of a double meaning here but these in terms of going after the supporters who have been with him for a long time. It doesnt look like he has a lot of room to grow or even cares that much. Kamala harris is the relatively new candidate in this race, the new candidate in this race does have room to grow and i think, to this point earlier, the work 60 minutes did, Really at the top, to me i thought the take away moment from the 60 Minutes Interview was the anchor at first, i guess it was scott pelley, not just sort of doing the cursory we asked the Trump Campaign to appear and they said no but actually, like you said, they went the full nine yards. It took a couple minutes, talked about the lies or called trump out and it Really did, i think, Paint A very, very pointed picture, especially in contrast between the two candidates but also when you consider the Debate Dynamic at this point and unfortunately it doesnt look like they are going to be on the same stage again. And we go back to this idea that she is being criticized that shes only doing friendly interviews and people are on the attack going after Donald Trump . Isnt the difference that Donald Trump is giving journalists lie after lie after lie that we are in a position to Fact Check every single day. We can ask Kamala Harris a question and not like her answer, and feel like shes speaking in platitudes and youre not up for that policy but its not about whether or not you like her policy. When it comes to Donald Trump, hes lying. Your Reporting Today talks about the clear decline hes in, the differences he shows as a Candidate Today versus even a year ago or two years ago. Its Really striking when they say that shes not willing to take westerns and they take questions and say youre not allowed to Fact Check me. Im allowed to say anything i want no matter how true it is or not true. Youre not allowed to point out any contrary information or facts. You are right on that. I think hes mainly starting friendly interviews, conservative media, friendly media. Not just friendly media, people who are openly on his side who are participating in the campaign in some way or another and i think thats of course a contrast you are right to say that hes called out on telling things that are not true, that are lies, that are false information and doesnt seem to be actually moving the needle. We did a Fact Check on him a couple weeks back. We looked at a typical Trump Rally and a typical harris rally. One of the statements that were made at these two rallies could be called false or misleading and his number was something like 63 in a single Rally And Hers was like six, so 10 times as much. Obviously you dont want to call it false equivalence. Its not that she doesnt say things that any politician does, that are untrue and misleading but the proportion here is obviously very striking and it is something i think we see more and more when we talk about the story about his age, if you want. Clearly you go back and watches videos and you do any kind of analysis of how things have changed over the years, hes increasingly willing to say things that are not just untrue but are so detached from reality, like the cats and Dogs Meme and yet it doesnt seem to rebound against him. Its not our job to call out whether we like her policies or her answers. Its our job to call out lies and you said it there, what was it, 60six . Theres a difference. I also want to play some of the lies he spread just this weekend. Watch this. Over the past eight years, those who want to stop us from achieving this future have slandered me, impeached me, indicted me, tried to throw me off the ballot, and who knows, maybe even tried to kill me. Theyre going to cheat. They cheat. Thats all they want to do is cheat and when you see this its the only way theyre going to win. We cant let that happen and we cant let it happen again. Susan, it was peters words that he said much of what hes saying is increasingly angry and rambling. Donald trumps age was never Really called into question when he was running against Joe Biden. Certainly Joe Bidens was. Will it be more in focus now that hes running against Kamala Harris . Thats not the Donald Trump We Saw a couple of years ago. No. Lets be clear, first of all, that trump if he were elected would be the oldest man ever to serve as president , if he serves the next four years, oldest ever to be elected as president and taken well into his 80s at a moment in time when you can chart, as peter has done in his reporting, as others have done, the very clear downward trajectory of trump. This is very noticeable. Go back and look at him campaigning in 2016 and you will see a different person. One number that Really stuck out to me in Peters Story was the average length of time in a Trump Rally has nearly doubled. Its over 80 minutes now. Hes talking and talking and talking, to the point of does it seem like hes randomly reveling on . Yes, the answer is yes. This is in every possible way a man unwilling to relinquish the stage. Literally relinquish the stage in his rallies and of course metaphorically, as well. Mark, Elon Musk is Donald Trumps newest surrogate. We saw them together at a rally this weekend where he said this. This is no ordinary election. The other side wants to take away your freedom of speech. They want to take away your right to bear arms. They want to they want to take away your right to vote. They want to take away your right to vote . That is not true. But a lot of people are going to believe it because it is coming from Elon Musk, one of the most successful businessmen on the planet. How worried does that make you, mark . Its obviously worrisome and as you mentioned, its a lie but also in the real world there are actually people sitting out there who are going to sort of metal this guy who Really has presented himself like a clown, at this event jumping around on the stage, in a way that i dont know, is that actually a compelling strategy . The left Really, maybe, trump obviously loves celebrity, he obviously reveres wealth and Elon Musk has a great deal of power in a very defined but ultimately very influential Media Space on twitter, i guess x its called now. It is hard to know, though, what we are seeing on screen, how that translates into the real world of politics, how people make Voting Decisions and so forth. I am dubious there are actually people out there who might actually be persuaded to vote for this guy because of the guy behind him jumping around on the stage but who knows. Musk has power in other spheres as well. Donald trump has said he wants Elon Musk to run a government efficiency commission, which in theory lots of americans totally agree with. Lots of americans think the government is way too big and spends way too much money. But trump and Elon Musk are leaving out a Really important fact, that unlike most americans who are sick of government spending, Elon Musk has billions of Dollars Worth of government contracts. How does that square, peter . Couldnt that be a Conflict Of Interest . Of course. You say hes one of the most successful businessmen of our generation. Thats absolutely true. One of the reasons why is because hes getting billions of dollars from the u. S. Government. Nasa pays him to launch astronauts and launch crews and cargo to the space station. Hes a federal contractor. And of course he has interest in who is in the Oval Office and the person who is in the Oval Office has an interest in Elon Musk supportive of him so youre absolutely right that these are not disinterested parties here who have no particular stake in this, absolutely. So it raises all kinds of questions. If he Really does win and Really does appoint musk to head some sort of commission like this, its hard to imagine going too far. Weve seen 1 Million commissions that were more serious than that fall by The Wayside but it will raise questions about Conflict Of Interest and once again reminds us that when Donald Trump talks about how Kamala Harris is a communist or marxist, what he likes to do is he likes to take winners and losers in the marketplace. Thats something he did in his fouryear term so when he talks about capitalism he talks about his friends and the people who support him having all the advantages and punishing those he thinks are enemies of his. Make no mistake, if Donald Trump is elected and goes big on tariffs, terraces another way to pick big winners and big losers. Peter, susan, mark, thank you all for starting us off on a big night like tonight. When we return we are all going to take a deep breath because it has been one year since the hamas terrorists killed more than 1000 people in israel and took 250 hostages. We reflect with a survivor and a former colleague who is also a Family Member of some hostages. And later i speak with a former Homeland Security Official under trump about how the former president used to politicize natural disasters and hes trying to do it again.
