Transcripts For CNN CNN Newsroom Live 20241003

Attack on israel last evening looking at live pictures from out of beiruts black plumes of smoke still rising from the densely populated Southern Suburbs where the israeli military went after hezbollah targets overnight. Israel is vowing to carry out, carry out more strikes in the region largest ever attack on the country. The commander in chief of irans powerful islamic revolutionary Guard Corps says 200 missiles were fired at israel and that 90 of them hit their targets, which appears to have been the mossad Intelligence Service Head the quarters and two israeli air bases, the irgc claims israel and the u. S are deliberately downplaying the effectiveness of the assault holds however, it is very unclear at this point whether the barrage caused any serious damage the idf has reported one death so far prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is vowing to hit back, fueling fears that this conflict will spread. Even further run, made a big mistake tonight, and it will pay for it the regime in iran does not understand our determination to defend ourselves and our determination to retaliate against our enemies. Now, we will stand by the rule we established. Whoever attacks us we will attack him well, were getting word of hezbollah claiming a Rocket Assault on some israeli Military Barracks. Cnns Paula Hancocks his live in Abu Dhabi in this happening now. Paula, were getting word that is baller is already claiming to have hit back. What do we know at this point from hezbollah in a statement that they have hit multiple locations. They say including a Military Barracks in Northern Israel near schumer, shiomura they say other locations they have hit israeli troops and we understand that from the hezbollah statement that they have thwarted, they say, and Israeli Military Incursion into Ala Desantis is a lebanese town, just across the border with israel. Now, weve reached out to the israeli military for comment and tom, this they are looking into it at this point. We have though heard from one of the main hospitals in Northern Israel, rambam, which takes in many injured soldiers, certainly did back in 2006. And they say that there has been a quote incident, but they say they cannot confirm at this point how many have been admitted to hospital, but it does appear as though there has been some kind of attack by hezbollah targeting Military Barracks, targeting israeli soldiers in Northern Israel. Also saying that they have thwarted and, israeli advance on one of the villages just across the border when we have more information on that, we will bring it to you but when it comes to the strikes, Last Night that we saw from iran into israel, we have heard from the pentagon that this was twice as large as what we saw back in april with the iranian launches of drones or Cruise Missiles into israel, the fact that this was a ballistic missiles such shows it was a much more significant attack. And the question now, of course is what will israels response be . We have heard from the israeli Prime Minister vowing to respond, saying that iran has made a big mistake when it comes to what it did Yesterday Evening and we also understand from the israeli side, or at least the u. S. Says they dont believe they have decided exactly what that response will be at this point, just for a bit of context, what happened back in april the israeli response was to strike targets in a district called ispahan. This is an area where some key iranian nuclear facilities are based back in april, it was believed that the u. S had convinced israel to downplay its response, and that it was seen as more of a message to iran that israel was saying, we can reach your iranian nuclear facilities if we want to. So of course that is a question whether or not that will be the kind of response we see this time around, there have been many countries around the world condemning what tehran has done though obviously concerned that this could signal a sinking into the wider conflict thats for months. Many countries have been been trying to prevent. And of course, becky, what were seeing at this point is each side upping the ante. We see iran now giving a more significant once it says for the killing of Hassan Nasrallah of hezbollah for Izmail Haniyeh of hamas and others. And the concern of course is that israel will feel that its response has to be more significant as well. Becky Paula Hancocks is thank you, paula. President Joe Biden says that the united states remains and i quote him here fully supportive of it. Israel but hes still discussing and appropriate response to Irans Attack. Mr. Biden confirmed that the u. S. Is in constant contact with the israeli government, though he hasnt personally spoken with prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu since august. He also spoke on this morning. Thank you israel has woken up to a country that certainly seems largely intact. Iran suggesting that the ballistic missiles that it used to attack the country Last Night Hit 90 of its targets. But the assessment at this stage, though it continues news as such, these were military and security facilities that were targeted. Whats your assessment of what happened between what 730 73815 or so . Last evening . Okay. I love the way that we quote what the iranians are saying that they fired these against these different Military Installations and yet it hit near a school, inside a School Yard in the town of there that most people in the world have never heard of. Not a Big City Inside Israel Hit inside the town that i live in to right next to Tel Aviv and all around israel. So i want to separate between the statements that they make, the statements that hezbollah make, they can say that theyre firing at Military Installations. They fire at the civilian communities. And wherever it hits, it hits and the idea that israel is hiding what happened yesterday, becky, you were here, we were all here. It was scary. It was hard, but thats what Air Defense does. Thats why israel, together with the united states, by the way invested heavily in the term Air Defense. I dont think people understand what that means its not just the act of defiance of having the Interceptors Intercept these missiles in the atmosphere above the ground. And the booms that we heard, its also about the passive defense. What you and i did when those sirens were going on and on and on yesterday for you . No. Within that our will, we protect us as we go to places we know how to act. So i dont believe the iranians, i dont believe hezbollah. And i do think that this kind of unprecedented attack is not the same as april. This is bigger and harsher two things. Israel vowing a response saying that iran made a big mistake and that they will pay the price. Firstly, to your mind, what does that . Price look like in iran so this isnt just about posture, theres a lot of rhetoric that happens in the Middle East. We all make statements and here i am and on israeli tv where i live inside israel were on the 360 i wrote it down 300 62nd day of this war. Weve been in war a year hamas hezbollah, the proxies, let alone iran has already attacked us in april and now, when we talk about an israeli response, were talking about an all out war. And iran is using its proxies. And right now, it directly attacked israel and so to me theres no question that theres a response. The question is, which one were consistently trying weve been on the initiative against that main Proxy Hezbollah in the last few weeks Thats Part of it, but it could be direct against elon for our viewers the tweet from the iranian Foreign Minister after this attack on iran Last Night, he said, and i quote earlier this evening, we exercised selfdefense under Article Targeting solely military and security sites in charge of genocide in hashtag gaza, hashtag, lebanon. This is the iranian Foreign Minister and he went on to say, we did so after exercise exercising tremendous restraint for almost two months to give space for a ceasefire In Gaza and speaking to sources around this region there was certainly an enormous effort made on the part of regional actors to try and rein in Irans Response to the killing ishmael haniyeh, the head of hamas, Intact Ron and laterally to the assassination of the Hezbollah Chief backed by iran. Of course, and his many of his commanders. And now of course, the limited and targeted incursion, as it is described into into lebanon the Foreign Minister very quick to point out that this has been a policy of Exercising Restraint for almost two months to give space for a ceasefire In Gaza. That seems as far away as it ever has. At this point, the concern is clearly now about a wider regional war. Do you share that concern and you front opening up with iran itself rather than just, for example, its proxies in hezbollah and its in allies, it were in hamas, In Gaza. What are your concerns at this point about where this goes next my first concern, becky, is that ive never wanted to War October 7 is the worst day in my history when we talk about the last 362 days, where we never want it the war. The question is what you do with the proxies with Iran And Hezbollah is both a Proxy Anna lebanese player. And when you talk about diplomacy, want to be clear, diplomacy is not about a Peace Treaty. You dont do a Peace Treaty with somebody who is calling for your annihilation. The Peace Treaty, there would be that i dont exist and then everythings great. And i say that because right now, if you look at that Foreign Ministers tweet, i was reading it right before the program on night of april 13, 14, the former Foreign Minister, he was killed in that Air Crash that happened when the president was skilled, put out a similar tweet from the united nations, from the Eu Rain and where they show that what theyre doing is legal and what theyre trying to do is not just the physical attack against israel, its the Information Warfare Look of what youre just telling me that what elon is doing is legit and that what theyre doing is just selfdefense. I dont think thats what you were saying, but thats what theyre saying. What the islamic regime of iran is going is a overt attack against a sovereign state. They can say whatever they want. This is beyond illegitimate. Its big called out as such by the president of the united states, by the Prime Minister of the uk by, by all of the world leaders. This Isnt Something that should be put in the iranian information more context, we shouldnt allow that to be able to be legitimised in such a way. What do i want . I want an end to the war. I want the hostages back. I want hamas to stop attacking me. I want his hezbollah to stop calling for my annihilation in the meantime, i need to talk, at least in a certain degree in Middle Eastern terms with his proxies in the voices that they hear and thats my targeting them in a very specific way eisin, just before i let you go very briefly and should we expect to your mind a response from israel on iran in the immediate . Future. Im talking about in the coming hours i dont know. And i will say that today is the jewish new year, and that were all looking forward to next jewish year being a bit better. And i dont know if that will impact our decisionmaking, but i do not know what does not have to be immediate. It does not have to be over but i do think that there will be a response eisin, out of Tel Aviv. Its good to have you on im glad to hear that youre safe. Thank you will in Tech Ron, scenes of jubilation in the streets, the iranian capital following Tuesdays Missile strikes on israel. Irans President Masoud Pezeshkian of posted on x, formerly known as twitter, that Tuesdays Operation was, quote, only a portion of our Power Hand Warning israel not to enter a conflict with his country and the iranians who prim, Leader Ayatollah khomeini, also issued a warning on Social Media posting in hebrew that the quote blows against israel would become stronger and more painful if israel strikes back abbas as lanny is a journalist and senior Research Fellow at the center for Middle East strategic studies. He joins me now from Tech Ron, the u. S describes the unprecedented attack by iran on israel Yesterday Evening as defeated the missiles mostly intercepted. They say, and those that landed dont seem to have caused significant damage, although that assessment continues, the iaf israels Air Force still has its full operational abilities according to the idf. So will this be seen as a success or a failure for Regime Supporters in iran . And perhaps we should also explore whether it will be seen as a Success Or Failure for those who do not support the regime in iran take is that the u. S. Wants to play down this operation in order to avoid escalating this into a fullscale regional war and the figures which have been given by sources and officials, they have been saying that any 90 of those missiles were succeeded. Think their targets know, teams that with the this attack you ban, try to generate your of joy including in the country because it was retaliating against the assassinate. A Ismail Haniyeh In Tehran, as well as assassination of Hassan Nasrallah and other iranian officials and their beliefs ones. Also, this created a joy among its regional allies, Casting Shadow over the israeli celebration following those recent assassinations. And there have been different reactions, but there have been calls from political factions and officials calling for unity against this this is something which is different from the last April Attacks and this means that iran is also ready for the next waves of attacks in Case Israel retaliates. And this is something which is being awaited In Tehran. There are reports that israelis might be to repair spring for a response against iran so they are trying to also make sure that they will be ready to react against israel in case a response comes well lets talk about that readiness because israel is vowing a response. It hasnt said when but it is vowing a response saying that iran has made a big mistake and that they will pay the price internally what does that price potentially look like . In iran and how is the country preparing itself for an attack on, for example, irans nuclear facilities or its Power And Oil Infrastructure Or Counter strikes for example, against where these Launch Pads and Launch Sites are for the missiles, the ballistic missiles that were launched yesterday on israel becky, you know, the response could be targeted at some sites, including some infrastructure or even the nuclear sites. Or it could be a measured response like what happened in last april it seems that israel would not be doing this without any pastor, the provost from us Administration And President , and if attacks like on nuclear facilities happen, this could have also costs, not just for you run by, for the global community. And those who have some concerns about irans nuclear program. This could somehow provoke you Rons Withdrawal from the nuclear nonproliferation, the socalled Np Apt and undermine that non Proliferation Mechanism on the long drawn and this will this can also carry the risk of evolves further response against israel, which can escalate to it hey, broader conflict in the region. This is the scenario, i think which is not favorable to the united states as well ahead of the president ial election. And i think this is good for tat there is an assumption here that israel is still in any way reined in by the united states. And if that is an assumption that is being made in Tech Ron, they may be mistaken at this point, given the israeli governments form to date, the Foreign Minister tweeted this morning, i was just talking to my last guest about this, so i just want to put this to you. He said the attack came after exercising iran exercising a tremendous restraint for almost two months to give space for a ceasefire In Gaza. Was that the received wisdom in iran and including iran, potentially holding back hezbollah in recent months. And will there be a school of thought . That says that was a mistake and has made iran look weak in the eyes of a un israel with momentum at present forth between Israel And Hezbollah was done in a calibrated way, but that was israel who escalated into a new stage where the Rules Of Engagement have changed the deterrence, you know, line have been somehow moved to mean being dynamic and moving on a long and iran has been as it was said, showed, showing restraint because they run was promised a ceasefire In Gaza if it didnt respond against the assassination of hamas chief In Tehran. But this turner to be further assassinations against senior commanders of hezbollah iranian irgc commander, as well as the leader of the group as well but if iran didnt want to respond, it could be an invitation for further assassinations or a measures including inside the raanan territory, thats why iran sees this as a kind of, lets say a measure in order to stop that cycle of this could be a Felon Back Pressure on me. Ask you very briefly because im going to need to let you go very brief. How far addition to determine wrong do you believe if he wants to somehow you know, mobilized a Public Pressure in israel against netanyahu how far briefly is dead wrong prepared to go at this point because israel vowing a response, the us in coordination with other allies supporting israel Last Night in intercepting these missiles, who is a target at this point . For Tech Ron around this region becky, you know, the previous times and always we have been failing that iran has been trying to operate short of a war meaning a fullscale war in the region. But this time the feeling is a bit different because, you know, the announcements, the way they are from made or the situation, the sense here In Tehran is that this time, if israel conducts a significant Military Strike against iran directly there will be another response from iran inside this could escalate into a bigger war and the readiness for a likely the war is being felt. This time around. This was not the case back in last april and we have a hearing many calls from iranian officials calling for a unified stance toward israeli threat. And this indicates that the situation is a bit different from the previous times. And this you know, signifies the seriousness of a likely war abbas as lonny is in tech rhona.

Hezbollah says it hit an israeli Military Barracks with rockets in Northern Israel after israel launched a new round of strikes on beirut suburbs overnight. This comes after iran unleashed a barrage of missiles at israel tuesday. Irans military chiefs says the attack was limited to military targets, but warns of broader strikes if israel responds, tehran as 200 missiles were fired in the attack and israeli prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says, iran has made a quote, big mistake and will pay for the strike, will Police Departments across the united states are stepping up security at places of worship in light of the attack, especially amid the start of the jewish high holidays the nypd expects to have increased patrols for the next two weeks. They will also be working with experts for detecting explosives at bridges, the tunnels and using Helicopter Units to check for radiation please in chicago, philadelphia, and Los Angeles have also announced increased monitoring for places of worship. Some measures were already in place before Irans Attack on israel only us Vice President ial debate in this Years Election was notably amicable and focused on policy. Though there were a few contentious moments democrat Tim Walz and republican Jd Vance will coddle and at times agreed with each other. They sparred over the economy, housing, immigration reproductive rights, and other top issues as they made their pitch to voters just five weeks until Election Day they focus their attacks instead on their opponents Running Mates but whats fundamental here is that steady leadership is going to matter. Its clear in the world sought on that Debate Stage a few weeks ago a nearly 80yearold Donald Trump talking about Crowd Sizes is not what we need in this Moment Donald Trump recognize that for people to stoke fear, the united states, you needed peace through strength. They needed to recognize that if they got out of line, the United States Global Leadership would put Stability And Peace back in the world perhaps the sharpest contrast of the night came when walz drilled into trumps efforts to over turn the 2020 election, the democratic Vp Nominee put vance on the spot during a discussion of the January 6, 2021 insurrection. And from false claims that he won the 2020 election, there will because Kamala Harris is support. This was a threat to our democracy in a way that we had not seen. And it manifested itself because of Donald Trumps inability to say he is still saying he didnt lose the election. I would just ask, did he lose the 2020 election . Tim, im focused on the future. Did Kamala Harris Censor Americans from speaking their mind . In the wake of the 2020 covid situation that is that is a nonanswer criticized Vance And Trump for spreading false claims about haitian migrants eating pets in ohio. Vance claimed an influx of migrants. So overwhelming the community and blame the bidenharris admin ministration. The moderators eventually stepped in margaret, the rules were that you got to Fact Check and since youre factchecking me, i think its important to say whats actually going on. So theres an application called the Cbp One app where you can go on as an illegal migrant apply for asylum, or apply for parole and be granted legal status at the wave of a Kamala Harris openborder want that is not a person coming in applying for a Green Card and waiting for ten years. Thanks to the Senator Haitian of illegal immigration, margaret by senator for your striving the legal process. You have much how much books since 1990. Thank you, gentlemen. Want to have app has not been on the books its something that gentleman the Audience Cant hear you because your mics are Cut Brownstein is a cnn senior political analyst and a Senior Editor at the atlantic. He joins me now from Los Angeles. Appreciate you being with us hi, rosemary we saw the first and only debate between Vice President ial hopefuls tim Walz And Jd vance. Tuesday night. Who do you think won that debate . And did it change the trajectory of the president ial election in any way . Well, first of all, i think the Vice President ial debates are to us president ial politics as the Bronze Medal Game is to the olympics at sometimes fund, but its pretty much forgettable Instant Polling after the debate by and large have found that equal shares of people thought that Vance And Walz its one that seems to me about right for most of the Evening Vance was a smoother, more confident performer as a senator, he is more conversant with a lot of the federal and international issues that were under discussion. And walt waltzes as a governor. But Walts Finish was very strong. I mean, to mix the sportsmen at a horror is it was kind of like hitting a walkoff home run. I mean, he really did crystallize what may be the most important issue facing the next Vice President will you support Donald Trump if he again attempts to override the election . And Jd Vance could not would not say no. Yeah. Interesting at that point, of course, the vp he candidates answered a wide range of questions, didnt they . On the Middle East policy, the economy, immigration, reproductive rights, Health Care, climate change, and more. There were a number of falsehoods that has to be said on both sides. But what would the weak and strong points for Walz And Vance on some of those issues . Well, i think walz obviously it was nervous when it started and he at various points in the Debate Kind of stumbled over himself. His wording, his weakest point was certainly trying to explain how he had said he wasnt unanimous square during the democracy protests. And in fact, was only there little later, which doesnt seem like a huge miss apprehension 35 years later, i thought vance was strongest in making the case on inflation, which is interesting because i think trump has gotten away from that and focus more on personal safety, crime, and immigration waltzs best moments. As i said, i think where The Club was saying about democracy, but also the exchanges about abortion. I thought vance it was striking that on both abortion and Health Care he largely dodged the questions hes really been out there on Health Care, making clear that republicans still have plans to reconfigure, restructure the affordable Care Act to undermine its corporate to action for people with Preexisting Convict can shins. He did not repeat that tonight on the stage. Instead, he tried to kind of evade the question as much as he could. Yeah. And you mentioned Abortion Rights on that issue. Wolves laid out the need for women to have control over their own bodies, not the State Vance appeared to change his stance on the issue, didnt he . But malls didnt tackle him on that. What was your reading of that particular moment well, i think it was indicative of a lot of the moments. I mean, there was a little bit of the Joe Lieberman 2000 versus Dick Cheney Vibe to tim Walzs Performance in which democrats after in 2000 and i think again tonight fell, that the candidate was so focused on portraying his own Reasonableness And Centrism and kind of minnesota nice that he let a lot of opportunities go by and certainly lead vance get away with misrepresenting positions that hes held and that trump has held you know, in the end. More Sound And Fury than signifying anything Vice President its actual debates have not really had a big impact on president ial races. Otherwise wed be talking about president dukakis after Lloyd Bentsen demolished and quayle in 1988. But i do think for democrats, there were probably frustrating moments are walz did not take the offensive to some extent, maybe to a considerable extent, that was erased from the board by that very strong final few minutes, you really did save the best for last talking about democracy, not only looking back at January 6 and trumps actions, but looking forward to what a vance would do, it presented with the same circumstances in which Mike Pence stood up for the constitution would advance do the same. There wasnt much tonight that will give you a lot of optimism isnt that would be the case . Yeah, and dana, ron brownstein, good to have you with us. Appreciate it thanks for having me and when we come back, israel is vowing revenge after irans massive missile attack. But iran is warning things will only get worse.

I dont think i realized how much it meant till i saw the Reaction Tv he on the edge, moments that shaped our Culture Sunday at nine on cnn back more now on our top story, the aftermath of irans largest ever aerial attack on israel as well as israels escalating war with the iran iranbacked hezbollah overnight, cnn teams heard blasts in beiruts Southern Suburbs where israel says, it has been striking hezbollah targets. The israeli military issued Evacuation Orders starting at midnight local time, likely when most people were asleep. Meanwhile israel Warning Iran of serious consequences, softer, it fired 200 ballistic missile i was at israel on tuesday. The idf says at least one person was killed, a palestinian in jericho, and several were injured. So one ballistic Missile Hit near a school in central israel. You see that here leaving a crater more than two meters deep the us says it does not believe israel has decided yet how it will respond, but israel insists Irans Attack will be answered i now hold him but we are on high readiness on the defense and the offense we will protect the citizens of israel. This fire will have consequences. We have plans, and we will act at a place and a time of our Decision Levy is a columnist with haaretz newspaper, joining us from Tel Aviv the u. S has said, it doesnt believe has decided how it will respond what to your mind happens next in the vertebral and the most expected one, namely israel will take revenge. Now, there will be retaliation, quite a serious one and then all will depend on the reaction, on the reaction of the iranians it looks like a regional war. It behaves like a regional war. And we are in a regional war. Heres what Joe Biden had to say last in the wake of that unprecedented attack the attack appears to have been and ineffective and this is testament to Israeli Military Capability and us military im also also a testament good to attend some planning between the united states and israel not to anticipate and defend against that brazen attack. We expected make no mistake this state is fully, fully, fully supportive of israel president also conceded Last Night that he has not spoken to the israeli Prime Minister since August Gideon is this a us president who has any influence at this point over the decision that the Prime Minister will take . I think that the u. S. President didnt want to have influence until now because what he like to have influence . He could take some measures to take some actions throughout the last 11 months if the president would really like this war to be over. He knows very well what to do. If he wants, if he would like to stop this war you first of all, dont supply israelis are limited unconditioned weapons and ammunition. What is israel supposed to do is all those weapons to use it. So i think by then maybe with very good intentions lost his way because he saved one thing and he acted in the exact opposite way. And therefore, israel can quietly ignore his advices because by the end of the day they are totally hollow. Youve suggested that this looks like a wider regional in fact you say we are in a wider regional war. Gideon levy, you have much experience of prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his thinking you have insight into the way that this Prime Minister has conducted himself over the last what, 30 years. What to your mind . Is his next move with Regard Iran were already seeing the Idfs Response to hezbollah continuing attacks in Southern Lebanon we are hearing some reports of an incident in Southern Lebanon tonight, but we scene. Weve seen attacks on Southern Beirut overnight, targeted attacks against hezbollah assets. What is the response . On iran . And in iran at this point . And when most of for one of the problem says that it seems, at least it seems that biden attorney, you know, is when knows exactly where are they, me, where are we hate me . We know always the next step and what comes next now its very clear that israel will bomb iran. I cannot see another possibility, even though im not sure that this should mean a better been. But according to the mindset of israel, the mass be retaliation for Last Night Last Night, those horrible not that i underestimate what happened Last Night. But the question is, okay, so we will beat them back now and then what . And then they will beat us. Make. And then what i mean, this leg of horizon of any kind of horizon, political horizons, strategic Horizons Nothing of this lectern never believed in any kind of political settlement with the palestinians, with the areas. He never believed in negotiations, and hes now implementing his policy vainly. Who live only on our soul when our military Force And Nothing but this, this is a very depressing vision ive got 60 seconds. Gideon is it clear what the goal is there what the goal is at this point for the Prime Minister here, the longer term goal, i mean, youre talking about him just responding at this point in an incremental way. Whats the long Term Strategy here i saying, that video and his governments see there right situation is a big opportunity and the opportunity is to crush once and for all israels dangerous enemies, namely iran hezbollah, and from us this is totally impossible dream. But they believe that they can do it now and they have this opportunity which will never come back and therefore, they will do anything possible in most massive also, unlimited way to try to implement this strategy. The only problem was this strategies that it cannot succeed, it must pay because you cannot base your policy only on military force. You cannot go on from war to go from Attorney Ation to intellection forever. You must talk for another horizon. And that anyhow is not looking for any other arise Gideon Levy here in Tel Aviv. Thank you very much indeed, for joining us thank you all. Do more on what is our top story in the hours to come. Meantime, some other news for you and there was no shouting, namecalling all talking over each other.

S Vice President ial candidates was considered normal, which is almost rare in modern us politics. Republican Jd Vance and democrat Tim Walz were qandeel with each other, but they attacked their opponents, Running Mates, they agreed the Housing Crisis was bad and that Gun Violence needed to be reduced, but they clashed on the January 6, 2021 insurrection and on the divisive issues of abortion and immigration. Cnns Kristen Holmes reports on Jd Vances debate performance. But first he has Mj Lee on tim Walzs Performance tuesday night, tim Walzs Team was working to consistently tried to lower expectations going into the debate, saying that Jd Vance was likely to be more prepared perhaps smoother on the Debate Stage, saying that he has had more practice than the governor in terms of doing interviews as a senator and being more combative in Media Appearances theres after the Debate Walz aides that we spoke with wouldnt deny that vance did appear practice and polish. Anyone could also see that Governor Walz did appear im nervous, particularly at the beginning of the debate. But the walz aides that we have been speaking to, they do insist that when it comes to substance, put aside the style and but he did come out on top on a number of issues as one Harris Aide put it to me, they were particularly pleased with how much the debate ultimately ended up focusing on former president Donald Trump and his record, his statements, and his proposals, including on issues like immigration and reproductive the rights. And as cnn had reported, going into tuesday evening, walz says Debate Prep Pad included preparing for potentially a false statements that are made by Jd Vance. Now, an example of this is the following exchange where we saw the government or trying to balance both but real time Fact Checking. His opponent and also quickly turning to his own Talking Points on a specific issue. Take a Listen Governor do you care to respond to any of those specific allegations including that the Vice President is quote, letting in fentanyl and using kids as drugged mules, among other things yeah. I think waldron, the Drug Mule was not true, but i will say about this, about the fentanyl because this is a crisis of this, the Opioid Crisis and the good news on this is the last 12 months saw the largest decrease in opioid deaths in our nations history, 30 decrease in ohio. But theres still more work to do. But lets go back to this on immigration. Donald trump had four years, yet, four years to do this, and he promised you america how easy it would be. Ill build you a big, beautiful Wall And Mexico will pay for it. Less than 2 of that wall got built and mexico didnt pay a dime. That no one on the Harris Team believed that one debate on one night could end up making all the difference just in terms of the overall trajectory of the 2024 race. But still, there was recognition that this was an incredibly important opportunity given that this could be the last debate before Election Day. If there doesnt end up being another president ial debate between Vice President Kamala Harris and former president and Donald Trump. Mj lee, cnn, New York Vice President ial nominee Jd Vances team is celebrating, as is more president Donald Trump with his Picks Performance Tonight at the debate, they believe that he was able to pivot on various topics that he was able to defend trumps record. Now, we are told that former president Donald Trump was watching in the plane on his way down to texas. He is going there for a Fundraising Event and he was publicly slamming Tim Walz and privately praising Jd Vance. This was a much different tone than what happened in the aftermath of that first debate between donald and Kamala Harris in which trump himself was angry after the debate, his team was trying to reassure him, trying to say that he did a good job, but were privately very concerned now that could impact him in november. Now, when you talk to his various advisers is various allies must Donald Trumps, they dont really believe that this debate with Jd Vance and Tim Walz is going to move the needle at all. They understand that usually Vice President s and a performance in a Vice President ial debate doesnt actually impact the Election Result in november. But what they are happy with is the way that Jd Vance comported himself, is the way that he answered questions and the fact that tomorrow or the day after they dont half to play cleanup for Jd Vance, they feel like they can defend his performance. One of the things to keep in mind here was this was really an opportunity for vance to proves that he was the right person to be chosen to be Donald Trumps running mate. Hes had a very rocky rollout. If you look at any polling, he is almost underway the water when it comes to public opinion. And one of the reasons that Donald Trump chose him in the first place was because he thought he was a good debater. He had watched clips of his debate when he was running for senate and it in ohio. Its part of the reason that he endorsed him back then. And again, part of the reason he chose him to be his running mate. So this was a big deal for Jd Vance to get up there and prove that he was the right person for Donald Trump to choose it. And that is what youre hearing from the campaign today, that he was in his performance showed that thats exact reason why Donald Trump chose him. Now, there were moments of discomfort when he was up on the stage. One of the ones that has been pointed out to be my number of republicans is when Jd Vance said that the cbs moderators were not supposed to Fact Check, it seemed almost as though he was complaining, but overall, they were happy with his performance when he got on that Debate Stage and went up against governor Tim Walz, Kristen Holmes, cnn, New York and thats all the time we have this hour.
