Trump's election nightmare comes true as Harris surges and Trump asks to debate her

Intro >>> HERE KIDS. USE THE SUPER FLAVORS OF POPSICLE FIRE CRACKERS. Joe Crowley >> WE'RE GOING TO GO GET SOME FOOD. CORN DOG? >> VEGETARIAN. >> TURKEY THEN. >> WE'RE JOINED BY JOE CROWLEY. KNOWS TIM WALZ. MOLLY JOHN FAST. WELCOME TO BOTH OF YOU. CONGRESSMAN CROWLEY, YOU MIGHT REMEMBER THE FIRECRACKER POPSICLES. >> I SURE DO. >> DO YOU THINK THAT APPLIES TO TIM WALZ AND ALSO REFLECT ON WHAT YOU KNOW ABOUT HIM. >> I THINK IT'S A GREAT METAPHOR. TIM HAS THAT MIDWESTERN SENSE OF HUMOR, WHICH I THINK WE LOVE SO MUCH. BUT I THINK IT DEMONSTRATES HONESTY. I THINK IT DEMONSTRATES DECENCY. HE'S HONORABLE AND HE HAS CHARACTER. IN MANY RESPECTS, ARI, HE REMINDS ME WHAT JOE BIDEN BROUGHT TO AMERICA IN MANY RESPECTS, THAT SAME KIND OF -- YOU HATE TO SAY IT, BUT LIKE THAT DAD WE'RE ALL LONGING FOR IN SOME RESPECTS. HE'S VERY FUNNY IN REAL LIFE, AND THAT'S EXACTLY WHO HE IS. WHEN HE'S GIVING THOSE SPEECHES, THAT'S THE REAL TIM. THAT'S THE REAL TIM WALZ. >> FOX ARGUES THAT WHATEVER THE REAL TIM IS, HE'S GETTING TOO Tim Walls MUCH MILEAGE OUT OF HIS PACKAGING, HIS FLANNEL. TAKE A LISTEN. >> I THINK HE'S THE MOST DANGEROUS KIND OF PROGRESSIVE BECAUSE HE IS ONE THAT THEY'VE WRAPPED IN A FLANNEL SHIRT AND THIS FALLS MYTHOLOGY IN ORDER TO GET AWAY FROM HIS REAL RECORD. >> JOE? >> HE WAS BORN IN NEBRASKA. I MEAN, YOU KNOW, HE LIVES IN MINNESOTA. YOU KNOW, YOU CAN'T CHANGE THAT FACT. I MEAN, AS MUCH AS THEY WANT TO DO THAT. YOU KNOW, TIM IS THE REAL DEAL. HE SAYS HE LOVES BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN. HE'S NOT MAKING THAT UP. HE'S A PRINCE FAN. HE'S NOT -- >> WE'LL SEE. WE'LL SEE. >> HE LOVES -- HE LOV THAT -- HE'S A SPRINGSTEEN DEMOCRAT. AND WHAT HE SAYS, HE SHOOTS FROM THE HIP SOMETIMES. IT CAN SOMETIMES GET YOU IN TROUBLE. SO FAR IT HASN'T, BUT I THINK GREAT THINGS ARE GOING TO COME FROM TIM WALZ. I THINK THE COUNTRY IS BREATHING A FRESH -- IT'S A BREATH OF FRESH AIR, I THINK, FOR AMERICA. >> MOLLY, THIS IS HOW "THE DAILY SHOW" TOOK A LOOK AT ALL OF THIS. THE. >> SO FOR $7.99 AT NAPA AUTO Bidens authenticity PARTS IN THE CITY YOU CAN REPLACE THIS. CLIP OFF THE BACK. USE SHRINK WRAP CONNECTORS. TAPE IT OFF. >> IF THIS DUDE BECOMES VICE PRESIDENT THEY'RE GOING TO FIND HIM ON THE WHITE HOUSE LAWN CHANGING THE OIL ON A PREDATOR DRONE. DON'T CALL THE PENTAGON, THEY'LL CHARGE YOU AN ARM AND A LEG. >> I DON'T KNOW THAT YOU CAN FAKE THAT, RIGHT? I MEAN, THAT'S AUTHENTICITY. THAT'S WHO HE IS. >> GO ON. >> AND THERE ARE ENDLESS VIDEOS ONLINE OF HIM FIXING THINGS, WIRING UP. IN FACT, THAT VIDEO YOU PLAYED, THE NEXT LINE, HE SAYS TURKEY IS SPECIAL AND THE DAUGHTER SAYS, NO, BUT IT'S STILL MEAT. HE SAID, NOT IN MINNESOTA. SO, I MEAN, I DON'T -- HE'S FUNNY AND HE'S FOLKSY AND WHEN HE WAS IN CONGRESS HE WORKED ON THE FARM BILLS, RIGHT? SO HE KNOWS -- HE KNOWS HOW TO LEGISLATE FOR RURAL AREAS, WHICH IS SOMETHING THE DEMOCRATS HAVE SORT OF -- HAD SORT OF GIVEN AWAY. I THINK THAT'S REALLY SMART. YOU KNOW, HE READS AS MINNESOTA NICE. THAT -- YOU KNOW, THERE ARE JUST NOT A LOT OF CANDIDATES FROM MINNESOTA OR THAT READ AS MINNESOTA NICE. >> YEAH. IT'S FUNNY BECAUSE LIKE MANY THINGS IN LIFE, WHEN IT HAPPENS AND IT WORKS, IT'S LIKE, DUH. >> RIGHT. >> WHY DIDN'T THIS HAPPEN EARLIER? OR THIS SEEMS STRAIGHTFORWARD. OR LOOK AT THIS COALITION. OF COURSE, VIEWERS AND CITIZENS WHO FOLLOW NEWS KNOW THAT FOR MANY MONTHS DEMOCRATS WERE STRUGGLING WITH THIS FOR ALL OF THE OBVIOUS REASONS. THIS HAS BEEN A QUICK, EMOTIONAL, ENTHUSIASTIC TURN, BUT WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THIS CLEAR INITIAL SUCCESS, AS I'VE SAID, LONG WAY TO NOVEMBER, LOOKS LIKE A TIGHT RACE NO MATTER WHAT, INITIAL SUCCESS STITCHING BACK TOGETHER A COALITION THAT IS INCLUSIVE, HAS SPACE FOR HUNTING, CAMO, WITHOUT COMPLETELY COMPROMISING YOUR VALUES WHICH IS SOMETHING DEMOCRATS AND LIBERALS IN GENERAL, I DON'T WANT TO CARICATURE, THEY TALK ABOUT WHETHER IT'S A PURITY TEST, WHO'S OUTFLANKING WHO. AND MAYBE BY NECESSITY, ENERGY OR BOTH RIGHT NOW, THAT'S NOT HAPPENING. >> YOU KNOW, IT'S FUNNY BECAUSE HE CALLED ME WHEN HE WAS IN CONTENTION FOR THIS VP SLOT AND HE SAID, YOU KNOW, I'M IN THIS OUTER RIM OF CONTENDERS. I'M NOT IN THE MAIN CIRCLE. BUT, YOU KNOW, I'M GOING TO TRY MY HARDEST AND TALK TO EVERYONE. YOU KNOW, EVERY TIME YOU -- EVERYTHING I KNOW ABOUT HIM, I'VE INTERVIEWED HIM BEFORE, I'VE TALKED TO HIM, I'VE TALKED TO PEOPLE AROUND HIM, THEY ALL SAY, YOU KNOW, HE JUST SORT OF TRIES TO OUT WORK EVERYONE. HE WORKS. HE'S A PRETTY HARD WORKER. HE'S VERY FRIENDLY. THESE ARE THINGS THAT REALLY WORK FOR HIM. I THOUGHT IF HE GOT TO THE POINT WHERE SHE MET HIM, THAT THEY WOULD HAVE REAL CHEMISTRY BECAUSE HE REALLY IS A VERY CHARISMATIC GUY. AND I THINK HE WAS QUITE SMART ABOUT IT AND I THINK SHE SAW HIM AS A REALLY GOOD BALANCE TO THE TICKET. >> JOE, THE COUNTERPOINT TO ALL OF THIS HISTORICALLY IS RUNNING MATES RARELY MATTER THAT MUCH, AND POLITICAL SCIENTISTS, EXPERTS, EVEN STRATEGISTS IN BOTH PARTIES USUALLY SAY THAT. COULD THIS BE AN EXCEPTION OR ULTIMATELY DEMOCRATS ARE REJOICING BUT YOU DON'T THINK IT'S GOING TO MOVE THE FULL NEEDLE IN NOVEMBER? >> WHETHER IT MOVES THE FULL NEEDLE OR NOT, I THINK TIM IS AN EXCEPTION BECAUSE OF HIS PERSONALITY. HOW HE CONDUCTS HIMSELF AT THESE RALLIES. HE'S NOT SOMEONE ON THE WALL BEHIND KAMALA HARRIS. HE'S PARTICIPATING. HE'S BRINGING THAT FOLKSINESS OUT. IT'S REALLY GETTING A RESPONSE FROM THE AMERICAN PEOPLE, CERTAINLY FROM WHAT WE SEE AT THE RALLIES. I AGREE WITH MOLLY 100%. I HAD TIM AT THE TOP OF MY LIST. I MADE THAT CLEAR TO FOLKS AROUND ME, BUT I ALSO THINK IT'S BECAUSE OF WHAT THE NEEDS OF THE CAMPAIGN WERE. HAD KAMALA HARRIS, YOU KNOW, SHE'S A COASTAL DEMOCRAT AND SOME KIND OF BALANCE ON SOME SENSE TO BRING TIM ONTO THE CAMPAIGN, IT REALLY ANSWERS A LOT OF NEEDS. PARTICULARLY IT SAYS TO A LOT OF PEOPLE OUT THERE, YOU CAN LOOK LIKE TIM WALZ AND HAVE THESE POSITIONS AND NOT BE AN OUTSIDER. YOU CAN HAVE MY POSITIONS AND NOT BE A MAGA PERSON. AND I THINK THAT'S IMPORTANT FOR
