Trump Calling JD Vance Weird >> Stephen: HEY, EVERYBODY. WE'RE BACK WITH CNN'S KAITLAN COLLINS. THERE'S BEEN LITTLE INDICATIONS TRUMP IS NOT THRILLED WITH J.D. VANCE, OKAY? BUT J.D. VANCE IS OUT DOING A LOT MORE PRESS THAN DONALD TRUMP'S RIGHT NOW. DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA, LIKE, DO HEAR WHY THAT MIGHT BE? ARE THEY JUST SHOVING HIM OUT THERE AND SAYING YOU WALK INTO THOSE ROTATING BLADES. THERE'S SO MUCH MOMENTUM ON THE DEMOCRATIC SIDE THAT IT'S A BIT OF A FOOLS ERRANT TO TRY TO BLUNT IT. >> Kaitlan: YOU'RE SEEING J.D. VANCE SINGLE-HANDEDLY TRYING TO TAKE THE HEADLINES BACK. IT'S UNFAMILIAR TERRITORY FOR DONALD TRUMP OR HE IS NOT IN THE HEADLIGHTS. I WATCHED THE INTERVIEW YOU DID WITH ABBY PHILLIP WHEN SHE WAS HERE, YOU PREDICTED THIS. I DON'T KNOW IF YOU REMEMBER THIS BUT I DID MY RESEARCH AND YOU PREDICTED THAT IF HARRIS BECAME THE NOMINEE, THAT THERE WOULD BE A LOT OF ENTHUSIASM BEHIND HER. THAT DONALD TRUMP WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO BREAK INTO THE HEADLINES AND THAT'S WHERE HE IS RIGHT NOW. >> Stephen: RIGHT, HE'S ALWAYS BEEN ABLE TO GRAB A NEW CYCLE AND HE CAN'T. HE'S TRIED A COUPLE CRAZY STATEMENTS LATELY. BUT PEOPLE ARE MUCH MORE EXCITED ABOUT WHAT'S HAPPENING ON THE DEMOCRATIC TICKET. >> Kaitlan: HE IS SEEING SOMEONE WITH ENTHUSIASM AND CROWDS, IT'S REALLY UPSET HIM IN A WAY, I HAVE COVERED HIM FOR A VERY LONG TIME. I TALKED TO A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO SPEAK TO HIM REGULARLY. HE DOESN'T KNOW REALLY HOW TO DEAL WITH IT. MAYBE HE'LL FIGURE IT OUT AND HIS ADVISORS ARE CONFIDENT HE WILL. BUT IT'S BEEN A STRUGGLE FOR HI HIM. SO SENATOR VANCE HAS BEEN OUT THERE. HE HAD MULTIPLE INTERVIEWS YESTERDAY ON THE SUNDAY SHOWS. ANSWERING QUESTIONS MORE ABOUT HIS OWN PAST REMARKS THAN REALLY ANYTHING WITH THEY ARE DOING A CONCERT POLICY WHICH THEY'D RATHER BE TALKING ABOUT. THERE WAS A QUOTE IN "THE NEW YORK TIMES" THAT TRUMP TOLD DONORS "THEY ARE NOT CALLING ME WEIRD. THEY ARE CALLING J.D. VANCE WEIRD." >> Stephen: HE'S ALWAYS GOT YOUR BACK. ALWAYS GOT YOUR BACK. SO HE CAN FIND IT. AS SOMEONE WHO HAS REPORTED ON Trumps Playbook TRUMP SO MUCH, FOR THOSE OF US WHO ARE OBSERVERS, WHAT IS IT YOU HAVE TO GIVE IN MIND WHEN YOU'RE COVERING TRUMP? WHAT ARE YOU KEEPING IN MIND AS YOU TALK ABOUT HIM THAT THOSE OF US WHO HAVEN'T SPENT A LOT OF TIME AROUND HIS PEOPLE? >> Kaitlan: WHEN YOU HAVE COVERED TRUMP FOR A LONG TIME, YOU KNOW HIS PLAYBOOK. IT DOESN'T VARY THAT MUCH. IT'S BEEN THE SAME SINCE HE WAS A NEW YORKER AND CALLING INTO THE TABLOIDS UNDER A DIFFERENT NAME AND PUSHING GOOD PRESS ABOUT HIMSELF. THAT HAS BEEN DEEPLY INFORMATIVE. THAT'S WHY THE NEW YORK REPORTER SYSTEM OF THE BEST REPORTERS COVERING TRUMP BECAUSE OF MAGGIE HABERMAN AND OTHERS KNOW HIS TRICKS. I THINK THE LONGER YOU COVER HIM, THE BETTER YOU ARE AT IT BECAUSE YOU KNOW HE'S GOING TO SAY, WHAT IS GOING TO DO. WATCHING WHAT HE SAID ABOUT HARRIS, QUESTIONING HER RACE AT HER IDENTITY AND IT'S COMPLETELY PROTECTABLE. AND IS FAMILIAR TO HIM. AS LONG AS YOU KEEP THAT IN MIND, YOU KIND OF GO AT COVERING HIM AND YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO GET PROBABLY. YOU'LL BE SURPRISED BUT NEVER SHOCKED. >> Stephen: THAT'S GOOD. THAT'S GOOD, YES. OR SHOCKED THAT YOU ARE STILL SURPRISED. [APPLAUSE] BIG SHIFT IN THE POLLS IN THE LAST THREE WEEKS. Polls CLEARLY THE TREND ISN'T HARRIS' DIRECTION BUT A LOT OF PEOPLE SAY POLLS, ESPECIALLY THIS YEAR, HAVE BEEN OFF A LOT. HOW MUCH FAITH DO YOU HAVE IN POLLS? ARE THE POLLS WORTH LISTENING TO AT ALL? >> Kaitlan: I DON'T THINK YOU SHOULD BET YOUR MORTGAGE OR YOUR HOUSE ON POLLS BUT THEY ARE PRETTY POWERFUL. I TALKED TO A LOT OF POLLSTERS AND WHAT THEIR IDEOLOGY IS. >> Stephen: POLLSTERS SAY THAT POLLSTERS ARE A VALUABLE? THAT'S FASCINATING. THEY SHOULD KEEP THEIR JOBS? >> Kaitlan: THEY PUT A LOT OF EFFORT INTO IT AND YOU LOOK AT HOW THEY DO IT. IT ACTUALLY IS PRETTY INTERESTING AND LOOK AT HOW THEY'VE CHANGED SINCE HARRIS HAS ENTERED THE RACE. NOT COMING OUT OF NOWHERE. WE ARE WATCHING IT HAPPEN IN REAL TIME AT HER RALLIES AND FOR THEIR FUND-RAISING AND EVENTS AND THEN YOU'RE SEEING IT SHOW UP IN THE POLLING. IT'S NOT TOTALLY OFF. I DON'T THINK THAT THEY TELL US EVERYTHING. THEY ARE SNAPSHOTS IN TIME. BUT I THINK IF YOU THOUGHT POLLS DON'T MATTER, PRESIDENT BIDEN CERTAINLY FELT THEY DID INSERTED SENIOR DEMOCRATS. THAT'S WHY, PART OF THE REASON HE IS NOT IN THE RACE ANYMORE. THEY WERE WORRIED ABOUT THAT. POLITICIANS MAKING LIFE DECISIONS ON THAT DO PUT SOME FAITH IN THEM. >> Stephen: THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE. "THE SOURCE" WITH KAITLAN COLLINS AIRS WEEKNIGHTS ON CNN. KAITLAN COLLINS, EVERYBODY. WE 'WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK WITH "FALLOUT'S"
