Harris and Trump at 9/11 ceremony after debate

USELESS.>> WELCOME TO AMERICA DECIDES, I'M GARRETT. THERE'S A TIME FOR POLITICS, THERE IS A TIME FOR MEMORY. AT TIMES IT SEEMS WE HAVE LOST OUR ABILITY TO DISTINGUISH BETWEEN THE TWO, THANKFULLY, THIS MORNING, WE DID JUST THAT, A STING WISH BETWEEN POLITICAL RHETORIC AND RESPECTFUL SOUND. JUST HOURS AFTER THE PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE BETWEEN VICE PRESIDENT KAMALA HARRIS AND FORMER PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP, THEY MET AND SHOOK HANDS, BUT THIS TIME IT WAS IN NEW YORK CITY. THE PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE ALONG WITH PRESIDENT BIDEN AND RUNNING MATE, JADE EVENTS, THEY ALL STOOD TOGETHER TO MARK AND REMEMBER 23 YEARS SINCE THE SEPTEMBER 11 TERRORIST ATROCITIES ON AMERICA. LAST NIGHT IN THE ADELPHIA, HARRIS AND TRUMP WENT HEAD-TO- HEAD ON SOME OF THE TOP ISSUES FACING VOTERS AND THE NATION. BOTH CANDIDATES TO TO MAKE THEIR CASE. TRUMP CLAIMED VICTORY WHILE SPEAKING REPORTERS IN THE SPIN ROOM.>> WHEN YOU WIN, YOU DON'T NECESSARILY REALLY HAVE TO DO IT A SECOND TIME. WE HAD A GREAT DEBATE.>> THIS IS VERY DIFFERENT - - THESE ARE DIFFERENT VISIONS FOR OUR COUNTRY. OUR VISION FOR THE FUTURE, HIS WISHES TO TAKE US BACKWARD, AS I SAID ON THE DEBATE STAGE, WE ARE NOT GOING BACK. ED O'KEEFE AND FINN GOMEZ TO ME AT THE TABLE. HE HAD A GREAT DEBATE, FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP IS AN EXPERT AT SAYING THINGS ARE GREAT, EVEN WHEN THEY AREN'T. I HAVE NOT TALKED TO A SINGLE REPUBLICAN WHO CALLED THIS GREAT. >> THEY INSISTED, THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN INSISTED THAT IT WAS NOT DEBATE PREP, MAYBE HE SHOULD HAVE DONE IT PRIOR TO THE DEBATE. IT SOUNDED MORE LIKE HE WEANED IT, CLEARLY HARRIS WAS MORE PAIRED, HE WAS ON HIS HEELS ABOUT THE NIGHT, FOR ME, IT WAS A BAD NIGHT FOR DONALD TRUMP, AND THROUGHOUT THE DAY, HE HAS BEEN ASKED IF HE WAS GOING TO DO ANOTHER ONE, IT SEEMS LIKE HE ISN'T, AT THIS POINT.>> CAN YOU SUMMARIZE THE SORT OF BEST CASE DESCRIPTION OF WHAT HAPPENED THAT ORGANS ARE TRYING TO SUMMON WITHIN THEMSELVES, TO PUT SOME KIND OF GLOSS ON WHAT THEY KNOW IS A LESS THAN SUCCESSFUL EVENING?>> THEY'VE BEEN PLAYING THE MODERATOR, YOU HEARD THAT IN THE SPIN ROOM, I WAS IN THE SPIN ROOM, AS SOON AS HE WALKED IN, IT WAS A CLEAR INDICATOR. I WAS TALKING TO A HARRIS OFFICIAL AT THE TIME, HE SAID IF HE'S HERE, IT MEANS HE LOST. WHAT REPUBLICANS ARE SAYING IS THEY BLAME THE MODERATORS, IF YOU ARE BLAMING THE UMPIRE, YOU LOST THE GAME. >> TALK TO US ABOUT PREPARATION, THE VALUE IT PLAYED AND WHAT MAY OR MAY NOT FORWARD. >> I RAN INTO HER BROTHER IN LAW, ALL THAT TIME SPENT IN ITS BRICK WAS WORTH IT, AND HE KIND OF CHUCKLED. SHE WAS ABLE TO REACT, HE KIND OF LAUGHED AND SAID YOU KNOW, THAT LOOK, IT'S DEVASTATING.>> SO THEY WORKED ON THAT? >> THEY DID, THEY STAGED IN THIS HOTEL BALLROOM IN PITTSBURGH, AN ENTIRE MOCK SET UP, WHICH HAS BEEN DONE BEFORE. THEY WERE APPARENTLY PLAYING BACK THE TAPE AS THEY WENT. I THINK SHE HAD A MUCH REDDER SENSE COMPARED TO PREVIOUS RECENT CONTENDERS, THAT THIS IS AN INTELLIGENCE ISSUE, WITH TENS OF MILLIONS WATCHING AT HOME, THE THERE WILL END UP IN PEOPLE'S INSTAGRAM FEEDS, THEY WILL HAVE FAR MORE MILEAGE.>> TO WHAT DEGREE DO WE KNOW HOW MUCH KAMALA HARRIS LEARNED OF THE EXPERIENCE WITH CLINTON? >> THEY SPOKE WITH HER AND THE OBAMA'S, SHE'S GETTING A LOT OF INCOMING ON HOW TO DEAL WITH HIM, AND HOW THEY BELIEVE HE SHOULD BE CAMPAIGNED AGAINST. THE ONE THING HER TEAM HAS EMBRACED BETTER THAN THE BY TEAM, YOU'VE GOT TO GET INSIDE HIS HEAD, YOU'VE GOT TO RAISE QUESTIONS ABOUT CROWD SIZE AND WHAT FOREIGN LEADERS TO GIVE HIM, AND THE FACT IS FACING DOZENS OF FEDERAL CHARGES. YOU KNOW WHAT WILL HAPPEN, HE WILL SPEND MORE TIME FOCUSED ON HIS PAST, ON HIS OWN PERSONAL PROBLEMS RATHER THAN THE PEOPLE WATCHING HIM AT HOME.>> ONE OF MANY MOMENTS THAT STUCK OUT TO THOSE IN THE AUDIENCE IS THAT FIRST ONE ABOUT THE FORMER PRESIDENT TALKING ABOUT PRESIDENT BIDEN.>> WE HAVE A PRESIDENT, WE DON'T EVEN KNOW, WHERE IS OUR PRESIDENT, WE DON'T EVEN KNOW IF HE'S THE PRESIDENT. WE DON'T EVEN KNOW, THEY THREW HIM OUT OF THE CAMPAIGN LIKE A.. WE HAVE A PRESIDENT THAT DOESN'T KNOW HE'S ALIVE. SO IT'S IMPORTANT TO REMIND THE FORMER PRESIDENT YOU ARE NOT RUNNING AGAINST JOE BIDEN, YOU ARE RUNNING AGAINST ME.>> OVER MODULATED, TOO LOUD, MR. PRESIDENT, YOU ARE NOT TYPICALLY THAT LOUD. YOU ARE AN AMERICAN POLITICAL HISTORY OF MODERN VINTAGE, MORE SKILL THAN MOST AT UNDERSTANDING THE MEDIA, UNDERSTANDING TELEVISION, UNDERSTANDING THE AMPLIFICATION THAT COMES THROUGH A MICROPHONE. WHEN YOU ARE THAT HOT ITSELF YOU ARE A LITTLE RAVING.>> AND RENTING. INITIALLY, AT THE BEGINNING OF THE DEBATE BUT WE DID SEE THAT HE WAS A LITTLE MORE TEMPERED AS PART OF THE STRATEGY, DON'T COME OUT ANIMATED, HEATED. AS SOON AS SHE STARTED TALKING ABOUT CROWD SIZE, I WASN'T GOING TO USE THE WORD BAIT, HE WAS TRIGGERED, HE WAS TRIGGERED. THE OLD STRATEGY, HE LOST IT, THE SENIOR ADVISER SAID THEY DID NOT WANT TO SEE AN ANGRY TRUMP LAST NIGHT, AND HE DID COME OUT. >> I WOULD ARGUE HE MET HIS TELEVISION MATCH. JOE BIDEN, WITH ALL DUE RESPECT, IS TERRIBLE ON TELEVISION, SHE'S NOT. >> HE'S FROM A DIFFERENT ERA. >> AN ESTATE WHERE TELEVISION WASN'T A REQUIRED ELEMENT IN DETAIL. THEY DID A MASTERFUL JOB PAIRING HER. >> DO YOU THINK HER HUSBAND, DOUG EMHOFF HELPED? A FORMER ENTERTAINMENT LAWYER. IT'S NOT JUST HIM, BUT THOSE WHO LIVE AROUND HIM IN BRENTWOOD AND LOS ANGELES. YOU'VE GOT TO BE GOOD IN TELEVISION COMMERCIALS, INTERVIEWS, YOU'VE GOT TO BE GOOD IN PUBLIC WHERE THE FOOTAGE OF YOU IS SEEN BY A TELEVISION CONSUMING AUDIENCE. GAVIN NEWSOM, JERRY BROWN, RONALD REAGAN AND PETE WILSON, KAMALA HARRIS AND DIANNE FEINSTEIN, IN THEIR DAY, THEY WERE VERY GOOD TELEVISION COMMUNICATORS, YOU HAVE TO BE, IF YOU WORK IN CALIFORNIA.>> TALKING ABOUT THAT, WE WILL HAVE A CLIP OF IT LATER IN THIS BROADCAST. THE TRUMP SUPPORT REMAINS REAL AND RESILIENT, IT NOT GOING TO COLLAPSE AFTER THIS DEBATE. WHAT IS INTERESTING IS IF HE ADDED ANYTHING TO HIS BASE SUPPORT LAST NIGHT.>> DID HE? NO. >> PART OF HIS STRATEGY WAS SUPPOSED TO BE SPEAKING TO HIS OUTSIDE BASE, YOU TRY TO TALK AND APPEAL TO SUBURBAN WOMEN VOTERS, HE DID NOT DO THAT LAST NIGHT, SHE DID A BETTER JOB, CLEARLY SHE WAS TALKING TO MODERATE REPORT ENDS, McCAIN REPUBLICANS, SHE TALKS ABOUT BEING A GUN OWNER, WE HAVEN'T HEARD THAT SINCE 2019. I THINK SHE DID A BETTER JOB THAN HE DID. TO ME, THERE WAS A STARK DIFFERENCE. THE ONLY PEOPLE THAT TRULY MATTER IN THEIR ASSESSMENT ARE THE BATTLEGROUND STATE VOTERS.>> VERY QUICKLY, OBSERVATIONS ON THAT LONG BACK AND FORTH OVER REPRODUCTIVE FREEDOM. THEY WANTED TO GOAD HIM INTO THAT, GET HIM TO NOT ANSWER THE QUESTION, THEY HAVE ALL THE PROOF THEY NEED AND THE FODDER THEY CAN USE IN ADVERTISING. IT REMAINS A BIG, IMPORTANT ISSUE THAT WILL GALVANIZE A LOT OF VOTERS. A CAT LADY TREATED HER SUPPORT AFTER
