Ac360 starts now tonight on 360 breaking talk debate and the race ahead. Good evening. Thanks for joining us. We re just 55 days until the election. We begin with the impact last night s first and only scheduled presidential debate could have on a race that s now a sprint. An estimated 67. 1 million people watched according to nielsen figures out in the past 45 minutes including taylor swift, whose first move was to tell her 283 million instagram followers that she d be voting for kamala harris her posting in turn has sent more than 300,000 visitors and counting to the federal government, voter information website. Now, the day began with the absence of campaign politics in a remembrance, the alqaeda attacks, which united americans determination 23 years ago today the two candidates together in lower manhattan along with president biden, former mayor bloomberg, and giuliani and others remembering the nearly 3,000 lives lost on 9/11, politics return later today outside the flight 93 nat
idea. the idea that you would target a playground and bomb kids hoping that you would then convince people to give up because you d killed their kids? what kind of a sick mind comes up with a strategy like that? and what kind of severallized country is going to civilized country is going to support those tactics? that s what russia has done. martha: so how i can t believe he can stand there and make a statement like that. of course it s true, assad has been systematically targeting civilians since the outset of the war. the war has always been to break the back of the civilians and, therefore, separate support for any rebels whatsoever. that s been genocide and a human catastrophe from its outset. russia now joined that, and after 15 months of struggling to retake the territory that they thought they d be able to do easily, criticism s starting to build at home, putin makes a decision and it s this: i m
of the uber-dude for the democrats says the problem was hillary apologized for the e-mail server, she should have simply said it was permitted. really? people knew martha: she did say that. she was lying about it. martha: yeah. i think it s incumbent upon donald trump to keep the promises that he made to people in terms of returning jobs especially in the rust belt states that he won, which is going to be his challenge. yep. martha: karl, thank you very much. great piece this morning. you bet. thanks, martha. bill: 20 minutes past now. the fed has made a move, and this is rare, raising rates for only the second time in a decade, and the market s responding. the dow just crossed 19,9 a moment ago. so then how you could profit off this rate hike and more. we expect the economy will continue to perform well with the job market strengthening further and inflation rising to 2% over the next couple of

concern as to why they denied us access to them and their information. this is our job, and it s their job as well, and the american people deserve the transparency that comes with it. as do, does anyone that s running for high office. martha: do you want to speculate as to why they won t show up? i can t speculate as to why, but we have written a letter, made it very clear that we expect some answers. and the american people expect some answers. this isn t something you brush under the rug. this is something that needs to be addressed and addressed right away. and we re willing to be there to have them explain themselves, and we want to get the truth out to the american people. and, certainly, to the intelligence committee, we want to know the truth and what s actually going on and what intelligence they may have. you know, i also have a concern martha: go ahead. go ahead, i m sorry. martha: i just want to ask about the electors, and they have to verify the outcome of the electi
