>> I'M GLAD YOU ARE HANDLING THAT, BECAUSE THAT HAPPENED REALLY JUST BEFORE WE WENT ON AIR AND I THOUGHT TO MYSELF, THIS IS INTERESTING. I LOOK FORWARD TO YOUR SHOW. HAVE A GOOD NIGHT. >> THANK YOU. >>> WE BEGIN TONIGHT WITH WHAT DONALD TRUMP HAD TO SAY ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL TODAY AND WE ARE DONE. BECAUSE ONCE AGAIN THE LAZIEST PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGNER SINCE THE INVENTION OF JET TRAVEL DID NOT CAMPAIGN AGAIN TODAY. THERE IS ONLY ABOUT 90 DAYS LEFT IN THE PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN AND DONALD TRUMP DOES NOT CAMPAIGN ON MOST OF THOSE DAYS. DONALD TRUMP DID NOT LEAVE HIS HOME, AS FAR AS WE KNOW TODAY. DID NOT GET DRESSED. NEVER PUT HIS SHOES ON. I MEAN I AM GUESSING NOW, BUT WE DON'T ACTUALLY HAVE ANY EVIDENCE AT ALL THAT DONALD TRUMP GOT OUT OF BED TODAY. THAT HE SHAVED DOOR WAS PHYSICALLY CAPABLE OF SHAVING. WE DON'T KNOW IF DONALD TRUMP WAS TOO TIRED TO WALK TODAY OR ATTEMPT TO READ A TELEPROMPTER, WHICH HE DOES NOT DO WELL ON HIS BEST DAYS. BUT DONALD TRUMP'S CAMPAIGN POSITIONS WERE DESCRIBED ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL TODAY. >> IF HE IS ELECTED, DONALD TRUMP INTENDS TO GIVE TAX BREAKS TO BILLIONAIRES AND BIG CORPORATIONS. HE INTENDS TO CUT SOCIAL SECURITY AND MEDICARE. HE INTENDS TO SURRENDER OUR FIGHT AGAINST THE CLIMATE CRISIS AND HE INTENDS TO END THE AFFORDABLE CARE ACT. >> WHILE DONALD TRUMP WAS DOING ABSOLUTELY NOTHING, THE VICE PRESIDENT AND HER NEW RUNNING MATE, TIM WALZ, CAMPAIGNED INTO STATES TODAY. WISCONSIN THIS AFTERNOON AND MICHIGAN TONIGHT. IN HER SPEECH IN DETROIT TONIGHT, THE VICE PRESIDENT ENCOUNTERED HER FIRST PROTESTERS. WE WILL SHOW YOU HOW KAMALA HARRIS HANDLED THAT. IN THE AUDIO COVERAGE OF THE EVENT WILL NOT BE ABLE TO ACTUALLY HEAR WHAT THE PROTESTERS WERE ACTUALLY SAYING. YOU WILL HEAR THE REST OF THE CROWD TRYING TO DROWN OUT WHAT THE PROTESTERS WERE SAYING WITH A CHANT OF KAMALA, KAMALA. THE PROTESTERS WERE SHOUTING KAMALA, YOU CAN'T HIDE, YOUR SUPPORTING GENOCIDE. AND THIS IS HOW THE VICE PRESIDENT RESPONDED. >> IT'S ALL GOOD. IT'S ALL GOOD. I AM HERE BECAUSE WE BELIEVE IN DEMOCRACY. EVERYONE'S VOICE MATTERS, BUT I AM SPEAKING NOW. I AM SPEAKING NOW. YOU KNOW WHAT? IF YOU WANT DONALD TRUMP TO WIN, THEN SAY THAT. OTHERWISE I'M SPEAKING. >> THE STRENGTH OF THAT STAIR IS MORE POWERFUL THAN ANYTHING I HAVE EVER SEEN A CANDIDATE DO IN A MOMENT LIKE THAT. NO PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE HAS EVER HANDLED A MOMENT LIKE THAT BETTER THAN KAMALA HARRIS. DONALD TRUMP DOESN'T HAVE MOMENTS LIKE THAT, BECAUSE NO ONE WHO DISAGREES WITH HIM IS ALLOWED AT HIS OCCASIONAL CAMPAIGN RALLIES. SO HE WILL NEVER BE SHOUTED AT BY THOSE PROTESTERS. THE VICE PRESIDENT WAS WELCOMED TO DETROIT TODAY BY OUR FIRST GUEST TONIGHT, THE MICHIGAN DEMOCRATIC PARTY CHAIR. >> OUR TICKET IS A WINNER AND COULD NOT BE MORE DIFFERENT THAN THOSE REPUBLICANS. THE REPUBLICAN TICKET CONSISTS OF A CONVICTED FELON AND HIS WEIRDO RUNNING MATE. >> THE VICE PRESIDENT BEGAN HER REMARKS TONIGHT IN DETROIT WITH GRATITUDE TO THE MAN WHO CHOSE HER AS VICE PRESIDENT AND WAS THE FIRST TO ENDORSE HER 2 1/2 WEEKS AGO FOR PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. >> TODAY I ALSO BRING GREETINGS FROM OUR INCREDIBLE PRESIDENT, JOE BIDEN. THAT'S RIGHT. JOE. THAT'S RIGHT. THAT'S RIGHT. AND I KNOW WE ARE ALL DEEPLY, DEEPLY GRATEFUL TO JOE FOR HIS LIFETIME OF SERVICE TO OUR NATION AND WE THANK YOU, JOE BIDEN, EACH AND EVERY DAY FOR ALL YOU ARE AND ALL YOU STILL HAVE YET TO DO. THANK YOU, JOE. >> THANK YOU, JOE! >> THAT'S RIGHT. I'M GOING TO TELL HIM WHAT YOU SAID. >> OTHER CHANCE BROKE OUT TODAY. THE CHANT, LOCK HIM UP, BROKE OUT DURING THE VICE PRESIDENT SPEECH IN WISCONSIN AND AGAIN TONIGHT IN MICHIGAN. CHANTING LOCK HIM UP ABOUT SOMEONE WHO HAS BEEN CONVICTED OF 34 FELONIES AND IS FACING A SENTENCING HEARING NEXT MONTH IS VERY DIFFERENT FROM THE TRUMP CHANT OF LOCK HER UP ABOUT SOMEONE WHO HAS NEVER BEEN CHARGED WITH A CRIME AND THE VICE PRESIDENT'S RESPONSE TO THAT CHANT IS VERY, VERY DIFFERENT FROM DONALD TRUMP. >> IS ATTORNEY GENERAL OF CALIFORNIA I TOOK ON ONE OF THE LARGEST FOR-PROFIT COLLEGES THAT SCAMMED STUDENTS. WELL, DONALD TRUMP RAN A COLLEGE THAT SCAMMED STUDENTS, REMEMBER THAT? AS A PROSECUTOR I SPECIALIZED IN CASES WITH SEXUAL ABUSE. WELL, DONALD TRUMP WAS FOUND LIABLE FOR COMMITTING SEXUAL ABUSE. AS ATTORNEY GENERAL I HELD THE WALL STREET BANKS ACCOUNTABLE FOR FRAUD. WELL, DONALD TRUMP WAS JUST FOUND GUILTY OF FRAUD. 34 COUNTS, TO BE EXACT. >> LOCK HIM UP! >> HOLD ON. HOLD ON. HOLD ON. YOU KNOW WHAT? HERE, HERE'S THE THING. THE COURTS ARE GOING TO HANDLE THAT. WE ARE GOING TO BEAT HIM IN NOVEMBER. WE WILL BEAT HIM IN NOVEMBER. WE WILL HANDLE THAT. >> DONALD TRUMP LIES TO HIS SADLY GULLIBLE AUDIENCES THAT EVERY ECONOMIC PROBLEM CAN BE SOLVED WITH DRILL BABY, DRILL, EVEN THOUGH THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA IS ALREADY THE LARGEST ENERGY PRODUCER IN THE WORLD. HERE IS WHAT THE VICE PRESIDENT SAID TONIGHT IN MICHIGAN ABOUT INFLATION. >> WE BELIEVE IN A FUTURE WHERE WE LOWER THE COST OF LIVING FOR AMERICA'S FAMILIES. SO THEY HAVE A CHANCE NOT JUST TO GET BY, BUT TO GET AHEAD. BECAUSE LOOK, WHILE OUR ECONOMY IS DOING WELL BY MANY MEASURES, PRICES FOR EVERYDAY THINGS LIKE GROCERIES ARE STILL TOO HIGH. YOU KNOW IT AND I KNOW IT. WHEN I WAS ATTORNEY GENERAL I WENT AFTER PRICE-FIXING SCHEMES AND WHEN I AM PRESIDENT IT WILL BE MY DAY ONE PRIORITY TO FIGHT TO BRING DOWN PRICES, TO TAKE ON THE BIG CORPORATIONS THAT ENGAGE IN ILLEGAL PRICE GOUGING. TAKE ON CORPORATE LANDLORDS THAT UNFAIRLY RAISE RENTS ON WORKING FAMILIES. TAKE ON BIG PHARMA AND CAP THE COST OF PRESCRIPTION DRUGS FOR ALL AMERICANS. THAT IS THE WORK WE WILL DO TOGETHER. AND ALL OF THIS TO SAY, UNLIKE DONALD TRUMP, I WILL ALWAYS PUT THE MIDDLE CLASS AND WORKING FAMILIES FIRST. BECAUSE COACH WALZ AND I KNOW THE MIDDLE CLASS BUILT THIS GREAT COUNTRY OF OURS AND WHEN THE MIDDLE CLASS IS STRONG, AMERICA IS STRONG. >> TONIGHT THE VICE PRESIDENT PULLED MICHIGAN VOTERS AND THE COUNTRY AND THE WORLD WHY DONALD TRUMP SHOULD NEVER AGAIN BE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. >> LAST MONTH, THE UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT BASICALLY JUST TOLD THE FORMER PRESIDENT WHO HAS BEEN CONVICTED OF FRAUD, THAT GOING FORWARD HE WILL BE IMMUNE, NO MATTER WHAT HE DOES IN THE WHITE HOUSE. BUT THINK ABOUT THAT. THINK ABOUT THAT. THINK ABOUT WHAT THAT MEANS. THINK ABOUT WHAT THAT MEANS. THE MAN HAS OPENLY VOWED IF REELECTED THAT HE WILL BE A DICTATOR ON DAY ONE. THINK ABOUT WHAT THAT MEANS. WHEN HE SAID THAT HE WILL EVEN, QUOTE, TERMINATE THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES. BECAUSE LET US BE VERY CLEAR, SOMEONE WHO SUGGESTS WE SHOULD TERMINATE THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES SHOULD NEVER AGAIN STAND BEHIND THE SEAL OF THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. NEVER AGAIN! >> NEVER AGAIN. THE VICE PRESIDENT TOLD HER WISCONSIN SUPPORTERS THIS AFTERNOON AND HER MICHIGAN SUPPORTERS TONIGHT WHAT SHE NEEDS FROM THEM TO WIN THOSE IMPORTANT STATES. >> SO IN THE NEXT 90 DAYS WE NEED YOU TO USE YOUR POWER. WE NEED YOU TO KNOCK ON SOME DOORS. WE NEED YOU TO REGISTER FOLKS TO VOTE. WE NEED YOU TO ORGANIZE AND ENERGIZE AND MOBILIZE. AND MAKE YOUR VOICES HEARD. SO MICHIGAN, I ASK YOU, ARE YOU READY TO MAKE YOUR VOICES HEARD? DO WE BELIEVE IN FREEDOM? DO WE BELIEVE AN OPPORTUNITY? DO WE BELIEVE IN THE PROMISE OF AMERICA? AND ARE WE READY TO FIGHT FOR IT? AND WHEN WE FIGHT
