Welcome to welcome to primetime weekend. Im rachel maddow. Lets get right to the weeks top stories. The past 24 hours have been a microcosm of the race. Kamala harris and Tim Walz doing the standard Campaign Work for a major party candidate. They kept an even keel at the Sitdown Interview last night that went through a lot of the republican charges against them. While they are doing that, trump is out there, honestly stumbling to put together english sentences. His campaign keeps stepping in masses of its own making including an enormous one tonight which we will get to. Both the candidate and his aides are, as usual, posting through it. The fallout continues from trumps a political Photo Op and Campaign Commercial on tiktok at Arlington National Cemetery at the beginning of the week where he gave the thumbs up over the graves of veterans, including many who did not consent to any of this. He cut a video blaming their deaths on democrats. Now, his campaign is openly doing battle with t

Where having a baby is becoming something of a lockdown trend. We begin in the us, where President Biden has pledged to rebuild americas alliances and re engage with the world, in his first major Foreign Policy speech. Its a markedly different tone to the America First approach of the Trump Administration. Mr biden said solutions to problems such as Armed Conflicts and Climate Change could be solved only by working with other nations. We are stepping up our diplomacy to end the war in yemen, a war that has created a humanitarian and strategic catastrophe. I have asked my middle east team to ensure our support for the United Nations Led Initiative to impose a ceasefire, open humanitarian channels and restore long dormant peace talks. We can now speak to gerald 15, the Senior Vice President at the Senior Vice President at the middle Eastern Institute who previously served as Us Ambassador to yemen during the obama administration. Thank you forjoining us. How much involvement has the us h

But heritage is very excited to have him. Working together with the former Vice President , heritage will continue to support and defend our Policy Accomplishments while also fighting back against a socialist agenda pushed by those on the left. Thats what mike pence is going to be doing. Hes going to be fighting socialists. Full timish. On a visiting basis. Congratulations, mr. Pence. Heres an unexpectedly awkward thing, though. The Heritage Foundation in this announcement today repeatedly describes their new hire as the former Vice President and, indeed, mr. Pence yesterday unveiled new letterhead proclaiming that he has opened an office now which he is calling the office of the former Vice President. The reason that is surprisingly awkward right now is that no matter what he does with his post
