Fact-checking Trump's Project 2025 claims, Harris' jobs comment from debate

BACK ON THE DEVASTATING IMPACT ON THE COUNTRY. FIRST WE WILL TALK A LITTLE POLITICS. A PRETTY TENSE NIGHT IN PHILADELPHIA AS VICE PRESIDENT HARRIS AND DONALD TRUMP EXCHANGED BLOWS IN THE FIRST AND POTENTIALLY ONLY PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE. WE WILL BRING YOU COVERAGE ALL MORNING AND WE WANT TO START WITH WEIJIA JIANG WHO WAS IN THE ROOM IN PHILADELPHIA. GOOD MORNING, HOW ARE THINGS LOOKING THE MORNING AFTER? >> BOTH SIDES ARE CLAIMING VICTORY AFTER A CONTENTIOUS DEBATE FILLED WITH HEATED EXCHANGES. VICE PRESIDENT HARRIS REPEATEDLY TRIED TO BAIT FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP AND HER TEAM SAYS HE TOOK IT EVERY TIME. AFTER THE DEBATE HARRIS SAID SHE WAS READY FOR A SECOND ONE. TRUMP SAYS HE IS STILL THINKING ABOUT IT. THAT WAS THE MOST CORDIAL MOMENT OF THE NIGHT. THE DEBATE WAS ON FROM THE FIRST TOPIC, THE ECONOMY. >> DONALD TRUMP LEFT US THE WORST UNEMPLOYMENT SINCE THE GREAT DEPRESSION. >> SHE DOESN'T HAVE A PLAN. SHE COPIED BIDEN'S PLAN AND IT'S LIKE FOUR SENTENCES LIKE RUN. SPOT, RUN. >> AND ON THE ISSUE OF REPRODUCTIVE RIGHTS. >> THE GOVERNMENT AND DONALD TRUMP CERTAINLY SHOULD NOT BE TELLING A WOMAN WHAT TO DO WITH HER BODY. >> EACH INDIVIDUAL STATE IS VOTING. IT IS THE VOTE OF THE PEOPLE NOW. IT IS NOT TIED UP IN THE GOVERNMENT. >> AND TAYLOR SWIFT'S ENDORSEMENT SHE CITED HARRIS' CHOICE IS TIM WALZ AS A RUNNING MATE AND HIS STANDING UP FOR A WOMAN'S RIGHT TO HER OWN BODY. HARRIS TRY TO INVOKE HER POLICY AGAIN WHEN FOREIGN-POLICY TOOK CENTER STAGE. >> IT IS WELL-KNOWN THAT DICTATORS AND AUTOCRATS ARE ROOTING FOR YOU TO BE PRESIDENT AGAIN BECAUSE THEY ARE SO CLEAR THAT THEY CAN MANIPULATE YOU WITH FLATTERY AND FAVORS. >> PUTIN ENDORSED HER LAST WEEK, HE SAID, I HOPE SHE WINS AND I THINK HE MEANT IT. WHAT HE'S GOTTEN AWAY WITH IS ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE. >> A FORMER PROSECUTOR, HARRIS TRY TO MAKE THE CASE AGAINST TRENT BY HIGHLIGHTING HIS LEGAL CHALLENGES. >> THIS IS SO RICH COMING FROM SOMEONE WHO HAS BEEN PROSECUTED FOR NATIONAL SECURITY CRIMES, ECONOMIC CRIMES, ELECTION INTERFERENCE. >> WHILE TRUMP BLAMED THE DEMOCRATS RHETORIC FOR THE ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT AGAINST HIM. >> I PROBABLY TOOK A BULLET TO THE HEAD BECAUSE OF THE THINGS THEY SAY ABOUT ME. THEY TALK ABOUT ME BEING A THREAT TO DEMOCRACY. THEY ARE THE THREAT TO DEMOCRACY. >> ONE OF THE MOST FIERY EXCHANGES CAME WHEN HARRIS CRITICIZED TRUMP'S RALLIES. >> YOU WILL SEE DURING THE COURSE OF HIS RALLIES HE TALKS ABOUT FICTIONAL CHARACTERS LIKE HANNIBAL LECTOR AND HE WILL TALK ABOUT WINDMILLS CAUSING CANCER AND YOU WILL NOTICE THAT PEOPLE START LEAVING HIS RALLIES EARLY. >> PEOPLE DON'T GO TO RALLIES AND THE PEOPLE WHO DON'T -- TO GO, SHE IS BUSING THEM IN. WE HAVE THE MOST INCREDIBLE RALLIES IN THE HISTORY OF POLITICS. >> HE ALSO DEFENDED QUESTIONING HARRIS' RACIAL IDENTITY. >> I READ THAT SHE WAS NOT BLACK, AND I WILL SAY THAT AND THEN I READ THAT SHE WAS BLACK, AND THAT'S OKAY. EITHER ONE IS OKAY TO ME. THAT'S UP TO HER. >> I THINK IT IS A TRAGEDY TO HAVE SOMEONE WHO WANTS TO BE PRESIDENT WHO HAS CONSISTENTLY OVER THE COURSE OF HIS CAREER ATTEMPTED TO USE RACE TO DIVIDE THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. >> WHEN THE FORMER PRESIDENT TRIED TO TURN TO IMMIGRATION HE FURTHER LIES ABOUT IMMIGRANTS AND IN OHIO TOWN. >> IN SPRINGFIELD THEY ARE EATING THE DOGS AND CATS. THEY ARE EATING THE PETS OF THE PEOPLE THAT LIVE THERE. >> Reporter: A SPOKESPERSON FOR A CITY -- THE CITY OF SPRINGFIELD SAYS THERE ARE NO CREDIBLE REPORTS OR SPECIFIC CLAIMS OF PETS BEING HARMED BY IMMIGRANTS. FOLLOWING THE DEBATE TRUMPET MADE HIS WAY TO THE SPIN ROOM, AN UNCONVENTIONAL MOVE WHERE HE DECLARED IT WAS HIS BEST DEBATE EVER. >> TO FACT CHECK SOME OF THE CLAIMS MADE BY CANDIDATES AND LESS LIKE TO BE. I WANT TO BRING IN MAJOR GARRETT. LET'S HIT ON THAT KIND OF CAME UP SEVERAL TIMES. PROJECT 2025. DEMOCRATS HAVE BEEN TRYING TO CONNECT DONALD TRUMP TO THIS PACKAGE OF UP POSSIBLE POLICIES. HE HAS REPEATEDLY SAID HE DOES NOT KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT IT AND HE DOESN'T KNOW WHO THESE PEOPLE ARE. THERE IS NO CONNECTION AT ALL. I WILL PLAY SOME SOUND. >> I HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH PROJECT 2025. THAT IS OUT THERE, I HAVE NOT READ IT AND DON'T WANT TO READ IT. THIS IS A GROUP OF PEOPLE THAT CAME UP WITH SOME IDEAS, I GUESS, SOME GOOD AND SOME BAD BUT IT MAKES NO DIFFERENCE. I HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH IT. >> CLARIFY FOR US ONCE AND FOR ALL, IS THERE A CONNECTION OR WHAT IS THE CONNECTION BETWEEN DONALD TRUMP AND PROJECT 2025? >> I WILL GIVE IT A GO. THE CBS NEWS CONFIRM TEAM SAYS THIS IS MISLEADING. HE DOES NOT HAVE A FORMAL CONNECTION TO PROJECT 2025 BUT IT IS PRODUCED BY THE HERITAGE FOUNDATION. DURING THE FIRST TERM PRESIDENCY THEY WERE A PERSONAL CLEARINGHOUSE AND MADE THE PEOPLE WHO WOULD LIKELY WORK IN A SECOND TRUMPET PRESIDENCY TO BE PROCESSED AND VERIFIED AS LOYALISTS BY THE HERITAGE FOUNDATION. MANY PEOPLE WHO WORKED IN THE FIRST TRUMP ADMINISTRATION PROVIDED GRIST FOR THIS PROJECT 2025 BOOK THAT RUNS MORE THAN 900 PAGES. IT DESCRIBES ITSELF AS THE POLICY BIBLE, ESSENTIALLY, FOR THE NEXT CONSERVATIVE ADMINISTRATION. THERE IS NO QUESTION THAT HERITAGE BELIEVES THAT NEXT ADMINISTRATION WILL BE LED BY FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP. MANY PEOPLE WHO WORK FOR THE FORMER PRESIDENT WROTE FOR THIS , OR PARTICIPANT IN IT AND IT IS A PERSONAL CLEARINGHOUSE. THE CONNECTIONS ARE NOT NEARLY AS DISTANT AS THE FORMER PRESIDENT ASSERTS. THAT'S WHY IT IS RATED AS MISLEADING. >> THE OTHER THING THEY WENT BACK AND FORTH ABOUT WAS THE ECONOMY. AND HOW MANY JOBS WERE CREATED. I'M GOING TO PLAY SOME SOUND. >> WE HAVE CREATED OVER 800,000 ANY FACTORING JOBS WHILE I HAVE BEEN VICE PRESIDENT. WE INVESTED IN CLEAN ENERGY TO THE POINT THAT WE ARE OPENING UP FACTORIES AROUND THE WORLD. >> I BELIEVE THAT PART OF THE FORMER PRESIDENT'S RESPONSE TO THE WHOLE JOB CREATION THING, HE CALLED THEM BOUNCE BACK JOBS. BECAUSE THERE WAS A PANDEMIC IN THE MIDDLE OF THIS WHOLE THING. CAN YOU CLARIFY THIS WHOLE IDEA OF THE CREATION OF MANUFACTURING JOBS? >> IT IS A BACK-AND-FORTH TUSSLE , WHO DID MORE FOR MANUFACTURING. WE HEARD THE VICE PRESIDENCY MORE THAN 800,000. CBS NEWS RATES THAT AS MISLEADING. THE ACTUAL NUMBER FROM THE DEPARTMENT OF LABOR IS ABOUT 763,000 MANUFACTURING JOBS. SO LESS THAN 800,000 AND CERTAINLY NOT MORE. BUT THERE WAS A RECENT REVISION ANNOUNCED BY THE LABOR DEPARTMENT, SEVERAL MONTHS OF JOB STATISTICS AND THAT BROUGHT THE NET JOB CREATION NUMBER DOWN TO THE 600,000'S. SO A SOMEWHAT SIZABLE GAP. MANUFACTURING JOBS WERE CREATED DURING THE BIDEN HARRIS ADMINISTRATION BUT NOT NEARLY AS MANY AS THE VICE PRESIDENT ASSERTED LAST NIGHT. THAT'S
