Harris defends her record, slams Trump in first TV interview with Tim Walz

SEE YOU, MY FRIEND. WE HAVE BREAKING NEWS, WE JUST SAW KAMALA HARRIS IN HER FIRST JOINT INTERVIEW WITH TIM WALZ AND IF DONALD TRUMP THINKS HE IS GOING TO HAVE AN EASY TIME IN THE DEBATE ABOUT THE ECONOMY WITH VICE PRESIDENT HARRIS, YOU MIGHT WANT TO LISTEN TO THIS AND THINK AGAIN. >> YOU HAVE BEEN VICE PRESIDENT FOR 3 1/2 YEARS, THE STEPS YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT NOW, WHY HAVEN'T YOU DONE THEM ALREADY?>> FIRST OF ALL, WE HAD TO RECOVER AS AN ECONOMY AND WE HAVE DONE THAT AND I'M VERY PROUD OF THE WORK THAT WE HAVE DONE THAT HAS BROUGHT INFLATION DOWN, THE WORK WE HAVE DONE TO CAP THE COST OF INSULIN AT $35 PER MONTH FOR SENIORS, DONALD TRUMP SAID HE WAS GOING TO DO A NUMBER OF THINGS INCLUDING ALLOWING MEDICARE TO NEGOTIATE DRUG PRICES, THAT NEVER HAPPENED, WE DID IT. NOW AS I TRAVEL AROUND THE COUNTRY, THE NUMBER OF SENIORS THAT HAVE BENEFITED, I WAS IN NEVADA RECENTLY, A GRANDMOTHER SHOWED ME HER RECEIPTS AND BEFORE WE PUT A CAP ON THE COST OF INSULIN, SHE WAS PAYING HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS, UP TO THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS PER MONTH FOR HER INSULIN, SHE IS NOT DOING THAT ANYMORE. I MAINTAIN THAT WHEN WE DO THE WORK OF BRINGING DOWN PRESCRIPTION MEDICATION FOR THE AMERICAN PEOPLE INCLUDING MAXING THE COST OF THE ANNUAL COST OF PRESCRIPTIONS FOR SENIORS, WHEN WE DO WHAT WE DID IN THE FIRST YEAR OF BEING IN OFFICE TO EXTEND THE CHILD TAX CREDIT, SO WE CUT CHILD POVERTY IN AMERICA BY OVER 50%. WHEN WE DO WHAT WE DONE TO INVEST IN THE AMERICAN PEOPLE AND BRING MANUFACTURING BACK TO THE UNITED STATES SO THAT WE CREATED OVER 800,000 NEW MANUFACTURING JOBS, BRINGING BUSINESS BACK TO AMERICA, WHAT WE HAVE DONE TO IMPROVE THE SUPPLY CHAIN SO WE ARE NOT RELYING ON FOREIGN GOVERNMENTS, TO SUPPLY AMERICAN FAMILIES WITH BASIC NEEDS, I WILL SAY THAT IS GOOD WORK. THERE IS MORE TO DO BUT THAT IS GOOD WORK.>> HERE IS HARRIS ON ANOTHER TOPIC THAT DONALD TRUMP FEELS IS GOOD FOR HIM, THE BORDER.>> THROUGH BIPARTISAN WORK, INCLUDING THE MOST CONSERVATIVE MEMBERS OF THE UNITED STATES CONGRESS, A BILL WHICH WE SUPPORTED,WHICH I SUPPORT, AND DONALD TRUMP GOT WORD OF THIS BILL THAT WOULD HAVE CONTRIBUTED TO SECURING THE BORDER AND BECAUSE HE BELIEVES THAT IT WOULD NOT HAVE HELPED HIM POLITICALLY, HE TOLD HIS FOLKS IN CONGRESS DON'T PUT IT FORWARD, HE KILLED THE BILL. A BORDER SECURITY BILL THAT WOULD HAVE PUT 1500 MORE AGENTS ON THE BORDER. THE BORDER PATROL ENDORSED THE BILL. AND I'M SURE IN LARGE PART BECAUSE THEY KNEW THEY ARE WORKING AROUND THE CLOCK AND 1500 MORE AGENTS WOULD HELP THEM. THAT BILL WOULD HAVE ALLOWED US TO INCREASE SEIZURES OF FENTANYL, ASK ANY COMMUNITY IN AMERICA THAT HAS BEEN DEVASTATED BY FENTANYL, WHAT PASSING THAT BILL WOULD HAVE DONE TO ADDRESS THEIR CONCERN AND THE PAIN THEY HAVE EXPERIENCED.>> YOU WOULD PUSH THAT LEGISLATION AGAIN? >> I WILL MAKE SURE THAT IT COMES TO MY DESK AND I WILL SIGN IT. WE HAVE LAWS THAT HAVE TO BE FOLLOWED AND ENFORCED THAT ADDRESS PEOPLE THAT CROSS THE BORDER ILLEGALLY AND THERE SHOULD BE CONSEQUENCE AND LET'S BE CLEAR, I'M THE ONLY PERSON WHO HAS PROSECUTED TRANSNATIONAL CRIMINAL ORGANIZATIONS, THROUGH TRAFFICKING GUNS, DRUGS AND HUMANS, I'M THE ONLY PERSON IN THIS RACE WHO ACTUALLY SERVED A BORDER STATE AS ATTORNEY GENERAL TO ENFORCE THE LAWS AND I WILL ENFORCE OUR LAWS AS PRESIDENT GOING FORWARD.>> HERE IS WHAT GOVERNOR TIM WALZ SAID TONIGHT ABOUT HIS FAMILY.>> I'M GRATEFUL FOR SO MANY REASONS TO BE ON THIS TICKET BUT THAT MOMENT TO UNDERSTAND WHAT WAS REALLY IMPORTANT TO HAVE MY SON FEEL A SENSE OF PRIDE IN ME THAT I WAS TRYING TO DO THE RIGHT THING AND YOU TRY TO PROTECT YOUR KIDS, AND IT BRINGS NOTORIETY AND THINGS, BUT IT WAS SUCH AN EMOTIONAL MOMENT, I'M GRATEFUL I GOT TO EXPERIENCE IT AND I'M SO PROUD OF HIM. I'M PROUD OF HER, SHE IS A WONDERFUL MOTHER AND THESE ARE GREAT KIDS.>> HE SAT DOWN IN GEORGIA WHERE THE DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATES JUST WRAPPED UP THEIR BUS TOUR THROUGHOUT THE STATE, ENDING IN SAVANNAH. EARLIER TODAY, VICE PRESIDENT HARRIS UNVEILED PLANS FOR A TAX CREDIT PROPOSAL FOR STARTUPS.>> THIS IS ONE OF MY SINGLE PRIORITIES, TO INVEST, SO WHAT I'M GOING TO DO ROLLING OUT NEXT WEEK IS BASICALLY A TAX CREDIT FOR STARTERS, FOR SMALL BUSINESSES. HALF OF AMERICA'S WORKING POPULATION WORKS IN A SMALL BUSINESS, I MEAN WHEN WE THINK ABOUT STRENGTHENING THE ECONOMY AS A WHOLE, NOT TO MENTION REALLY INVESTING IN THE AMBITION AND THE DREAMS, ALL OF THAT IS WHAT YOU GUYS ARE DOING, AND CREATING DREAMS IN THE PROCESS.>> ON THE REPUBLICAN SIDE, JD VANCE MADE THE MISTAKE OF FOLLOWING TIM WALZ'S SPEECH, TIM WALZ RECEIVED A STANDING OVATION FROM THE MEMBERS OF THE FIREFIGHTERS UNION YESTERDAY, AND JD VANCE NOT SO MUCH.>> THANK YOU SO MUCH, WELL, SEMPER FI, IT SOUNDS LIKE WE'VE GOT SOME FANS AND SOME HATERS, THAT'S OKAY, PRESIDENT TRUMP AND I ARE PROUD TO BE THE MOST PRO-WORKER REPUBLICAN TICKET IN HISTORY AND I WANT TO TALK ABOUT WHY WE ARE FIGHTING FOR WORKING PEOPLE, WHY WE ARE GOING TO FIGHT FOR UNIONS. >> TODAY DONALD TRUMP WAS ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL IN MICHIGAN AND WISCONSIN ACCORDING TO THE NEW POLLS RELEASED TONIGHT, IN MICHIGAN, HARRIS LEADS TRUMP, AND IN WISCONSIN, HARRIS LEADS 52% TO 44%. IN MICHIGAN, DONALD TRUMP DEFENDED BREAKING THE LAW AT ARLINGTON NATIONAL CEMETERY BY USING THE HALLOWED SITE FOR A CAMPAIGN PHOTO OP.>> THEY ASKED ME TO HAVE A PICTURE AND THEY SAY I WAS CAMPAIGNING, THE ONE THING I GET IS PLENTY OF PUBLICITY, I DON'T NEED THAT. >> DONALD TRUMP IS NO STRANGER TO DISGRACEFUL CONDUCT, HE CALLED AMERICAN SERVICEMEMBERS SUCKERS AND LOSERS, WE ARE GOING TO DISCUSS WHAT HAPPENED IN ARLINGTON LATER BUT A NEW POLL IN GEORGIA SHOWS HARRIS LEADING DONALD TRUMP IN GEORGIA, 49% TO 47%. AND BECAUSE YOU CANNOT JUST COVER THE PUBLIC CAMPAIGN OF THE CANDIDATE WHO TRIED TO OVERTURN THE ELECTION LAST TIME, WE ARE GOING TO LOOK AT WHAT REPUBLICANS ARE DOING IN THE KEY STATES INCLUDING IN GEORGIA. THE VOTER SUPPRESSION, THE DISENFRANCHISEMENT, TODAY IN GEORGIA, VICE PRESIDENT HARRIS REMINDED VOTERS THAT SHE IS RUNNING AS THE UNDERDOG. >> I'M HERE TO SPEAK TRUTH AND ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE KNOW, THIS IS GOING TO BE A TIGHT RACE UNTIL THE VERY END. SO, LET'S NOT PAY TOO MUCH ATTENTION TO THE POLLS BECAUSE WE ARE RUNNING AS THE UNDERDOG. AND WE HAVE SOME HARD WORK AHEAD OF US, BUT WE LIKE HARD WORK, HARD WORK IS GOOD WORK. HARD WORK IS GOOD WORK. AND WITH YOUR HELP, WE ARE GOING TO WIN THIS NOVEMBER. WE ARE GOING TO WIN THIS NOVEMBER. YES, WE WILL. THE FUTURE IS ALWAYS WORTH FIGHTING FOR. ALWAYS. AND THAT IS THE FIGHT WE ARE IN RIGHT NOW, A FIGHT FOR AMERICA'S FUTURE. WE FIGHT FOR A FUTURE WITH AFFORDABLE CHILDCARE, PAID LEAVE AND AFFORDABLE HEALTHCARE. AND ON THAT LAST SUBJECT, LET'S FINALLY EXPAND MEDICAID IN GEORGIA. SO PEOPLE CAN TAKE THEIR JOB TO A DOCTOR OR GO TO AN EMERGENCY ROOM WITHOUT GOING INTO MEDICAL DEBT. WE FIGHT FOR A FUTURE WHERE WE BUILD WHAT I CALL AN OPPORTUNITY ECONOMY, SO THAT EVERY AMERICAN HAS THE OPPORTUNITY TO OWN A HOME, TO START A BUSINESS, AND TO BUILD WEALTH AND INTERGENERATIONAL WEALTH. AND A FUTURE WHERE WE LOWER THE COST OF LIVING FOR AMERICA'S FAMILIES. GEORGIA, FOR THE PAST TWO ELECTION CYCLES, VOTERS IN THIS VERY STATE, YOU HAVE DELIVERED. YOU SENT TWO EXTRAORDINARY SENATORS TO WASHINGTON, D.C. YOU SENT PRESIDENT BIDEN AND ME TO THE WHITE HOUSE. YOU SHOWED UP, YOU KNOCKED ON DOORS, YOU REGISTERED FOLKS TO VOTE, AND YOU MADE IT HAPPEN. YOU DID THAT. YOU DID THAT. SO, NOW WE ARE ASKING YOU TO DO
