Will deal with if and when it arrives at that point. Right now, we are supporting Ukraines Ability to defend itself against russias unprovoked aggression. Donald trump, if he were president , putin would be sitting in kyiv right now. He talks about, oh, he can end it on Day One. You know what that is . Its about surrender. Well, it is about surrender. You look from the very beginning, mika, of the invasion of ukraine. You had Donald Trump talking about how brilliant Vladimir Putin was as he is slaughtering people as the troops came into ukraine. Yeah, that was just part of Vice PresidentKamala Harris Interview with 60 Minutes. Well have much more from the wideranging sitdown and the Programs Explanation of why Donald Trump did not participate. Meanwhile, the former president made another disparaging remark about migrants, suggesting that some of them have bad genes. What does that sound like . Well share those comments. Im sure whoever the host was pushed back on that. Its straight out of the nazi playbook. Im sure. I know all republicans will also speak out against that today. For sure, mmhmm. Plus, as the southeast continues to recover from Hurricane Helene, another potentially catastrophic storm is headed for florida. Were going to bring you the latest on Hurricane Milton, which is expected to make landfall late tomorrow. Tampa and the surrounding areas are bracing for what could be an historic storm. Were tracking that throughout the morning. Tampa could really get hammered. Willie, Welcome Back. Thank you, joe. We had a lot of news yesterday. Oh, hi, willie. He wanted you to talk about vandy. Very pleased you were there. Yeah. First, before we get there, i just i mean, what do we say, willie . The Nobel Committee has done it to us again. Why do we keep submitting, joe . Why . In this case, its even worse. You and i, we jot down an idea on the back of a napkin. I think it was chickfila. We were driving through. Literally . Driving through bessemer, Alabama. 18 years old. Jimmy buffett and former Third Baseman for the birmingham barons. Willie says, i have this idea on dna. He scratches it out. I thought the waiter was looking at us kind of funny, right . We left. He picks it up and submits it to the Nobel Committee. Now, they win the nobel prize. We had the triple youve heard of the double helix. We had the triple helix dna, all scratched out. Little chickfila sauce. Crumbs from the waffle fries. It was all there. We have to be more careful. Also, i feel like, joe, when you challenge the establishment the way we do, when youre a renegade, it scares people. I think it does. We need to stop putting ourselves up for the nobel. High time we stop this joke. You heard the high law song, cochran and the clash. Mika, you know this happens every year. This would be like giving a nobel Peace Prize to a president who hadnt really even become president yet. You just stop. Dont do it, willie. Now, lets talk about vandy. Congratulations. You beat us. A lot of time you know, Alabama doesnt lose a lot, but when they do, youre angry. Oh, that player did this. Why did the coaches do that . In this case, Alabama-cant'>Alabama Cant do that. Vandy, your Offensive Scheme and your quarterback, who is going to be playing on sunday, as you can tell, looked like mahomes at times. I mean, you guys beat us from the first play. You dominate. You actually dominated us the whole game. You know, i was there, joe. I was so lucky to be there. Thats the greatest win in the history of vanderbilt sports. So cool. By a long shot. To beat Number One and to beat Alabama. As i said to you, the reason its so special is because of the ultimate respect you have for Alabama. My kids were with me. I said, look, if nothing else, youll get to see ryan williams play, jaden milroe. But there was something in the air. Our team has played really well this year. Youre right that was me The End of the game. Yes me hugging our athletic director, who was in school when i was. She played basketball there. Done a great job, along with the head coach. Oh, my goodness. I was truly in shock. My daughter took that video. Still in shock on The Field. Looking up at the scoreboard. But youre right, joe, it didnt feel flukey. It wasnt a hail mary. Not at all. It was a sustained effort. I think, you know, Diego Pavia, the quarterback, incredible. A transfer this year. Clark lea is great, coming from notre dame. The Student Section was full and full of energy. It was an amazing, amazing day. You know, joe, if youre from the south, you know what vanderbilt is in the s. E. C. Great school, great city, good at a lot of sports, but not the one that matters in the south, which is football. Right. To do this, we feel we steal a couple wins in the s. E. C. Every year. It was different with this coach, this team. That was as big as it gets. When the kids took the goalposts and paraded, not across the street, but 3 miles down nashville on the Lower Broadway with a, Thank You, metro nashville police, with a police escort, and dumped them into the cumberland river, it was just nate, hosting snl, threw it down. I didnt know nate was by the way, George Washington Skit remains one of the funniest things. Hes one of the Funniest Standup comics. Didnt know he was a vandy guy. Awesome. Hes from nashville. One final thing, too, willie, is that, you know, your Coaching Staff and this isnt a knock on our new coach or our new Coaching Staff but the reason why this isnt a fluke, doesnt feel like a fluke, is your Coaching Staff outcoached us the entire game. You were always two steps ahead. I say that to say, this shouldnt just be one win. Shouldnt be because you got a good quarterback from new mexico state. Vandy looks to be built for speed for a long time. Clark lea, this coach, is really good. He is entering the phrase when he has his own players in, the system in. Now, weve gotten greedy at vanderbilt. Something weve never done. We think we should be 50 and ranked fourth or fifth in the country. Lost in double overtime at missouri, a game we should have won, and a flukey loss a week before that. It is an exciting time. As you know, it is a hard league. Wait, how good can we be . Look down, and here comes texas. Here comes lsu. It gets no easier. Right. But it was such an exciting day. Thank you for being so gracious about it, joe. It was a thrill. Of course. We were so thrilled. I mean, i wasnt thrilled. I was thrilled for you. This was joe through the whole game. Jack and i through the entire game, jack would go, what is going on . Thats all they said. I would say, what the is going on . Keep that out. For the, you know, entire three hours. The end of the game, we just said, they outcoached us. They outplayed us. They deserved to win. You know, its so funny, after the georgia win, i said, it felt like a loss because we looked horrible the second half. Alabama has a lot they need to figure out. Vandy, ill tell ya, im very excited. Im really i like it when good schools, really good, great academic institutions, like Alabama, do well. Vanderbilt doing well sends a great message to everybody across the south, across the nation. Even though, yes, that was a hard, hard loss to take. You know, itll vandys time. It was a Once In A Lifetime moment. Sitting behind a woman who has been coming to vanderbilt games for 77 years. She was in the second half having quiet prayer, reaching back and holding hands. Just emotion from someone like her. For me who has been following the team 32 years, hoping for a day like that, for it finally to come. Hopefully good thing ahead for the commodores. Got to share it with your kids. Along with mika, willie, and me, we have the host of way too early, white House Bureau Chief at politico, Jonathan Lemire. No stories to tell about his College Football team. Also, Associate Editor of the washington post, eugene robinson. If we started talking about how great Jayden Daniels was, gene, we would not stop. No. Until 6 45. We better get to the news. I want you to know, well get there. This guy, you saw it the first moment he walked onto The Field. Jayden daniels walked on The Field the first day. Again, my son and i are watching. We go, that Guy Looks like hes been there before. Yeah, yeah. Thats the thing. He looks like hes been there before. Every game, he passes another test. This week, it was against a really good defense. No problem, okay. Ill just have to play this way, play that way. He is amazing. Confidence. Absolutely amazing. Look at this guy. I mean, hes look, its five games in. The Washington Commanders are 41. They havent been 41 since, i think, maybe 2008 or something like that. I mean, this is just amazing. The city is electric about the commanders. Yeah. I have to congratulate willie, though. I tuned in when i saw Diego Pavia was trending. I thought it was a new striker for barcelona, something like that. So i searched around and found the s. E. C. Network. I was like, whoa this is amazing. Willie, im so glad you were there. Congratulations. Thank you, gene. One last thing on pavia, joe. We got to see him for a minute before the game. He was pretty locked in. Said, how you feeling . He said, quote, were getting ready to surprise everybody but ourselves. He thought they were going to win that game. Oh, my god. Thats great. I love that. By the way, alex tells me that gene is right. Washington, First Time theyve been 41 since 2008. Okay. Were going to turn to news and politics. By the way, were tracking Hurricane Milton. You can see that in the corner of our screen. Well dive into that, as well, as were 24 hours away from that Making Landfall. But to politics now. There are 28 days until Election Day. Last night, cbs aired its 60 Minutes Interview with Kamala Harris. Now, the program has interviewed the candidates in every president ial election dating back to 1968. But Donald Trump backed out this year. Before airing the interview with Vice President harris, 60 Minutes began with a note about trump. Heres part of that explanation. Its been a tradition for more than half a century that the major party candidates for president Sit Down with 60 Minutes in october. In 1968, it was Richard Nixon and hubert humphrey. This year, Vice PresidentKamala Harris and former president Donald Trump accepted our invitation. But, unfortunately, last week, trump canceled. The campaign offered shifting explanations. First, it complained we would factcheck the interview. We factcheck every story. Later, trump said he needed an apology for his interview in 2020. Trump claims correspondent Lesley Stahl said in that interview that hunter bidens controversial laptop came from russia. She never said that. Trump has said his opponent doesnt do interviews because she cant handle them. He had previously declined another debate with harris. So tonight may have been the largest audience for the candidates between now and Election Day. Wow. You know, ive got to ask Jonathan Lemire. Well, before i ask, i think its fascinating. Being factchecked, i love when People Factcheck me. I really do. If i make a mistake, i want to know what i said that was wrong. People can disagree with me. Opinions are one thing, but i want to be factchecked. If i say something wrong, i want to know that. Like most adults that i know, theyre the same way. The fact that Donald Trump and his Vice President ial nominee are so horrified at the prospect of being factchecked suggests well, its the tell. Theyre still lying this week about the 2020 election. Theyre lying in a way thats very destructive for the people of North Carolina and South Carolina about hurricane relief. In a way thats getting in the way, in a way that Republican Governors who are pushing back against them, theyre lying about dogs and It K Cats being in ohio when the republican governor there is saying thats a lie, as well. The lies continue over and over again. But he doesnt go on because of the factcheck. Why are they scared of factcheck . Because they lie all the time. You literally can see every day them lying on the campaign trail. Then he says he doesnt go on for an apology. He wants an apology from Lesley Stahl for something that never even happened. Again, deranged, disconnected, diluted, whatever you want to call it. Or maybe just scared. Finally, he says Kamala Harris this is bizarre cant Sit Down on interviews because she doesnt know the issues. As heilemann always says, it is either projection or confession. Here, Donald Trump is the one who skipped the 60 MinutesMinutes Interview, First Time a candidate did that, and even refused a debate on Fox News. Even on Fox News, who many hosts on that network are echoing Donald Trumps disinformation. Cant do a real interview, and he cant do a debate. One of the most popular hosts suggests that Civil War is better than voting, and that they need to move past voting. Yet, shes willing to debate him there, and he refuses to do it. So Last Night, as i was watching this, i started asking, jonathan, like, whats going on, man . Ive heard from people inside his campaign. I know you have, too. Though theyre very careful, a real frustration. They have no idea what this guy is going to do. He doesnt do the things he should do to win, and they cant control him at all. What are you hearing . Is there an understanding on his part that he is no longer up to sitting for serious interviews where people challenge him . Is his age, as Peter Baker wrote in the New York times yesterday, really preventing him from doing serious interviews . The debate, not doing the debate. Really, im dumbfounded. This is just not the behavior of somebody who wants to win an election. No. Two things here. First of all, Vice President harris did receive criticism, as we well know, in recent weeks for not doing many interviews. Look, some democrats are anxious, saying she needs to do more. That is changing. She sat for 60 Minutes. Today, shes with the view, howard stern, stephen colbert. Shes ramping up her own Media Appearances. Shes been consistent, saying, hey, i want a second debate with Donald Trump. Trump is the one who said no to the debate, and trump said no to 60 Minutes. There are a couple of things at play here. First of all, we heard Jd Vance in the Vice President ial debate being upset, saying to moderators, wait, i thought you werent going to factcheck me, when they did even modestly, because he was lying about something. Of course, now trump did not want to submit himself to the factchecking Last Night. This is something his aides have grown more and more frustrated with, their inability to steer him. People watching this will sa
