Then later Kamala Harris talks in Las Vegas. And a wellknown Trump Surrogate is once again offering advice to his candidate. We are both doing very serious Policy Oriented Speeches talking on issues that matter to them unlike Donald Trump. Also enthusiastic rallies where we turn all of this enthusiasm into action on the ground. Here is what i would tell President Trump. When People look at the state of play, they trust you on the Border And Foreignpolicy and you should focus on those. In two days, Vice President ial governor tim Walz And J. D. Vance square often debate. And he has been playing the role of walz in Vances Debate preparations. I worked with him directly for four years and i spent time going over his old stuff to get his phrases down in his mannerisms and my job was to play Tim Walz so j. D. Vance knows what he is going to see. He is great at being a folksy and down to Earth Kind of guy until People get to know his policies. And Vice President harris with a significant lead over former President Trump. Ahead by 14 points but its not all good news for democrats. For context, this is better for democrats among hispanics with Joe Biden as their candidate. 54 to 40 now is a 14 Point Advantage for the democrats. Take a look back at the last three president ial elections. Look at the cut with almost 20 points less than four years ago. A number of correspondents and analysts ready to go with the developing story line. We go to David Noriega in Las Vegas where the president holds a Rally Tonight. She may have some work to do with latino voters. What we expect to hear from the Vice President tonight . Thats right alex. A new blown Bloomberg Poll has harris ahead of trump by seven points. This is the first Battleground State where we see Harris Pull ahead in what is otherwise a Neck And Neck race. What we expected the Convention Center here in Las Vegas as we expect her to hammer home her economic package and plans for reducing costs for ordinary americans. It is huge in Las Vegas where they part of the electric in Attendance Tonight is low Wage Workers in the service industry. It is precisely the demographic that Donald Trump has been able to appeal to with his message. A similar story with latino voters around the country. I knew poll out from cnbc of hispanic voters that shows what you were just talking about with the 14 Point Lead over trump in the demographic. 14 points but it is generally shrinking from each of the last cycles. It actually threatens to reach the last high watermark that met republicans had with the latino voters going back to George Bush in 2004. This poll shows that here in nevada that the economy with Pocket Book issues like The Cost Of Living and childcare. I was in east Las Vegas talking to voters and this is what came up consistently that is important. One says she is leading trumpet is only about 6040. This is what Donald Trump did for us while in the presidency and i dont know what she has to offer and so that is kind of like taking a chance on her, you know. But, i do like how she is doing a lot for small businesses and how she has an idea for them and i do like that about her. Reporter that same voter told me she is considering coming to the Rally Tonight even though she is leaning toward trump and could be swayed by what is said tonight. These Campaign Appearances does potentially matter quite a bit. All right David Noriega, we will see you again. And we have a preview of the date. How are the private Vice President ial nominees . Can we expect the fireworks from this debate as there were in The One a couple of weeks ago . Reporter it will be harder for Governor Walz to get under j. D. Vances skin. We do know he has been studying the policy not only in an effort to introduce himself to the american public but to contrast his and the Vice President s agenda. We know that Tim Walz has been in michigan since thursday, arriving with Transportation Secretary Pete due to judge. He is expected to home down and engage in more Mock Debate Sessions and to study policies and make sure he is prepared to go after the various points that you see from j. D. Vance. On his port part, you will see it more as a radical and j. D. Vances words. And Tim Walz wants to come off as confident and to have a strong showing after Kamala Harris had a strong showing in her own debate. With the Vice President ial debate, you dont expected to move the needle much. Remember Vice President harris and former President Trump not meeting on the Debate Stage again, this is the last time we see candidates on the stage with their points. We know that Governor Walz is taking this seriously. He is locked down in michigan, as we understand, prepping. And his choice of city in michigan. Vice president harris was doing her Debate Prep in pittsburgh where she could talk to locals and we are seeing a similar approach by Governor Walz where he took time to go to a football game. Take a listen to how these candidates are using the final days before this to date and you will see a substantial difference between the candidates. Thank you, youve got a great kid here working hard. She will say to the crowd without an ounce of Humility Or Shame that we will tackle the wideopen southern border. On Day One, she will say we will make groceries and housing more affordable for american citizens. But Day One was 1400 days ago. What if you been doing . Stop talking about what you will be doing and go and do it. That lays out the difference and you can see Governor Walz laying out the Coach Image as he sought to continue to introduce himself to the american public while j. D. Vance continues to hit Vice President harris hard. Coach walz tries to define and brand himself in that Way And J. D. Vance seeks to hit them hard on economic policies. That will be part of the debate on tuesday. And now lets bring in the pine Street Strategy along with a political analyst. We will need to email him and go, dude, where were you . What is the biggest thing you were watching for and tuesdays to date . What issues do Walz And Vance have to be careful of . He needs to show command of the subject matter. We know he is a friendly guy and that he supports the Vice President and that he has been out there doing everything he should be as a Vice President ial candidate. Now he needs to be ready for prime time and that is what im expecting from him. Of course, he cannot fumble the ball and make big mistakes. When it comes to j. D. Vance, how much is he looking toward his future down the road after this election . If he is, he will not be able to be so obnoxious because his unfavorable numbers are skyrocketing. At the same time, he has to manage Donald Trumps expect tatians of being an Attack Dog and i think he will try to thread the needle. So microphones will not automatically be muted when it is not the Candidates Opportunity to speak and will be done at the discretion of the moderator. With that matter as much . It wont matter as much without former President Trump. What matters is what j. D. Vance will show up . Will he continue to try to impress Donald Trump or will he try to respond. 4 point . The man served in congress and was a sitting two term governor. That comes with every day being a debate. You debate with reporters and the opposite party in the legislator. J. D. Vance is relatively new to the national stage and we have seen him stumble his way through various rallies and Campaign Appearances. It is awkward and stilted and you are going against a guy with this folksy act and it is who he is but we dont know who j. D. Vance is. Not only in his professional life as a politician but there are iterations of who he is as a person. I expect that dichotomy. I dont expect an Attack Dog j. D. Vance but i do expect to see somebody trying to figure out his sea legs. Another thing, small moments in a Vice President ial debate can be The Ones that draw attention. Lest we forget the fly on former Vice President pantss head. It is the latter, 100 . They need to show enough Information And Policy to make it through. Hopefully there will be no other Flying Insects in the studio. That is the biggest thing i am looking forward to out of this debate and i am just joking. Let me play sound of Donald Trump who is continuing his attacks on Vice President harris as he did last night. Here it is. Kamala is mentally impaired and Joe Biden became mentally impaired and kamala was born that way. If you think about it, only a mentally disabled person could have allowed this to happen to our country. Something i find interesting is he continues to mispronounce her name every single time. Thats intentional. She was an obese ugandan horrible caricature of an african wrestler. You think he knows that . Absolutely. It was whispered to young men of my generation. , is a common indian name and what he is saying is a racist dog whistle. It is time to call out the intentional Land Violet Mispronunciation of her name that provokes this ugandan character of a racist trope. Donald trump and all of the republican to say it for fun know that. Here, i thought we were just taking off on someone being mentally impaired and saying something out of ignorance. What you are suggesting is file. The Ugandan Warrior was a extremely racist stereotype of a wrestler. I am 45 years old and it resonates with men who identify with the wwf in a historically racist era. He has no plan for america. He has concepts though. Susan, we have heard offensive comments from Donald Trump. Who can count the number of times over the years. Including People with disabilities. Why is it not disqualifying . Is It Part of the package with Donald Trump and part of the deal . I wish i could give you an answer and ive been trying to understand the Trump Support for eight years now and cannot get there. When you watch the comments like you just showed, this is his Act And Something he did for the crowd to respond to. You heard them laugh. Who laughs at such a thing . In the end, i think it hurts him in the group he needs the most which are suburban women who do not tolerate that kind of talk whether they are republicans or independents. With both campaigns, they are trying to appeal to young male voters. There is a conversation around masculinity. And the founder of white dues for harris, we have tailored messages for everyone else but dont have tailored messages for man. We need to try every other stuff and create space for People. Walz has stereotypic Men Qualities but with the value of showing his emotions, how do you think these dynamics will come into play . I think politics aside, it is clear to me that Tim Walz is a more advanced human then j. D. Vance. J. D. Vance is a person who chose to tell a story in the last 10 years. This is a guy who has fought with himself about who he is and how he presents himself to the world his entire life. J. D. Vance identifies public the with every mans fight with what it means to be a man. Tim walz is more advanced and every man needs to have its introspection. J. D. Vance is the beginning of his out who he is as a man and as a father and as a husband. It is not the time to have that in the glare of the worlds most vigorous job interview. It will not end well for him if he gets into discussions of masculinity and it goes better for Tim Walz. Lets talk next sunday we will see how the debate goes on tuesday. And we are asking about a viral moment on snl last night. And please welcome Texas Congresswoman Jasmine crockett. I saw on my album called mean girls what you called marjorie taylor green, what was it . Beach bleach blonde bad build which body. I love that. Together, citi and the World Food Programme empower families across the globe. This Isnt Charmin no wonder i dont feel as clean hurry up dad youve been in there forever im trying this cheap stuff is too thin i told you not to get the other toilet paper. Heres Charmin Ultra Strong. Ahhh my bottoms been saved wooho with its diamond weave texture, Charmin Ultra Strong cleans better with fewer sheets and less effort. Whats everybody waiting for . This . Ok hon, we know youre clean. We all go, why not enjoy the go with charmin. New today, republicans on defense. Donald trump with reproductive rights as democrats make it one of their top campaign issues just 37 days out from the election. Center Ted Cruz and i with all 49 republican senators signing on saying they support nationwide access to a ivf. Democratics use this issue as a Scare Tactic because ivf is legal and accessible in all 50 states. President trump has made it clear he will continue to make sure that is the case. Joining me now is Jasmine Crockett of texas. A good friend and we are here to have you. On the freedom bus tour, you are in wisconsin today. I am curious what youre hearing about all of this from voters in the Battleground State. You cannot trust anything they say but can trust wha
