>> A BIG MOMENT IN THE RACE FOR THE WHITE HOUSE. THE CAMPAIGNS FOR REPUBLICAN PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE DONALD TRUMP AND DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE KAMALA HARRIS HAVE AGREED TO THE RULES FOR THE FIRST DEBATE BETWEEN THE TWO, WHICH WILL BE MODERATED BY ABC NEWS THIS COMING TUESDAY. THE MAN WHO HELPED NEGOTIATE THESE RULES. >> ABC NEWS EXECUTIVE EDITORIAL PRODUCER JOHN SANTUCCI. I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY PHONE CALLS AND EMAILS AND MEETINGS AND ALL OF THAT THAT I REALLY WANT. SAM'S COFFEE CUP RIGHT NOW. >> THAT WOULD BE SUPER HELPFUL. THAT WOULD BE GREAT. >> TAKE US INTO THIS PROCESS BECAUSE YOU WERE DESCRIBING IT. TO ME, THIS IS LIKE BUILDING THE WHOLE THING FROM SCRATCH, BECAUSE THIS HAS BEEN HANDLED BY A DIFFERENT ENTITY FOR SO MANY YEARS. THERE HAS BEEN A COMMISSION ON PRESIDENTIAL DEBATES, GUYS, THAT HAS DONE THIS FOR FOUR DECADES. >> THEY USUALLY HAVE FOUR YEARS TO BUILD THIS OUT. WE'VE HAD FOUR WEEKS. WE ARE LITERALLY BUILDING THIS FROM SCRATCH. AND A BIG SHOUT OUT TO OUR PARTNERS AT WPVI, CHANNEL SIX OVER IN PHILADELPHIA. WE'RE ALL WORKING TOGETHER ON THIS, LITERALLY BUILDING A DEBATE STAGE. SAM AT A SCRATCH. I MEAN, THIS IS THE CONSTITUTION CENTER, GUYS. THIS IS A MUSEUM. PEOPLE GO FOR TOURS. >> BEAUTIFUL BACKDROP. >> UNBELIEVABLE. AND SO SIGNIFICANT. RIGHT? I MEAN, THAT'S WHAT WE'RE SO EXCITED ABOUT. >> SO TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE RULES BECAUSE WE KNOW IN THE LAST DEBATE THERE WAS THIS SORT OF HOT THE MICS WERE CLOSED SO THAT YOU DIDN'T HEAR SORT OF THE SECONDARY OR THE BACK AND FORTH. WILL THAT BE HAPPENING THIS TIME? >> THAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN AGAIN. SO THESE ARE THE RULES THAT WERE PUT FORWARD BY THE BIDEN CAMPAIGN WHEN OF COURSE, HE WAS ON THE BALLOT, EXPECTED TO BE FOR THIS NOVEMBER. THESE ARE THE RULES THAT BOTH CAMPAIGNS AGREED TO, GOING ALL THE WAY BACK TO MAY. LISA. SO THIS IS THE GAME. THIS IS HOW IT'S GOING TO WORK. DAVID MUIR AND LINSEY DAVIS WILL BE MODERATING THIS DEBATE 90 MINUTES. AND THE ONE THING THAT'S GOING TO BE A LITTLE DIFFERENT FROM THE FIRST DEBATE, IF YOU WILL, EQUAL TIME IN THE SENSE THAT THE CANDIDATES ARE EACH GOING TO GET TWO MINUTES TO RESPOND TO THE QUESTIONS, ONE MINUTE TO REBUT, AND IT'S REALLY GOING TO BE THE FIRST TIME, AS WE KNOW THEY'VE ACTUALLY MET. THINK ABOUT THAT. DONALD TRUMP AND KAMALA HARRIS HAVE BEEN ATTACKING EACH OTHER FOR THE LAST SEVERAL WEEKS. THEY HAVE NEVER LOCKED EYES FACE TO FACE. SO THAT MOMENT WHEN THEY'RE INTRODUCED BY OUR ANCHORS IS GOING TO BE REALLY THE FIRST TIME THEY'VE SEEN EACH OTHER. IT'S GOING TO BE REMARKABLE IF THEY EVEN SHAKE HANDS. YEAH, THAT'S GOING TO BE THE QUESTION. THAT'S UP TO THEM, RIGHT? THERE'S NO RULES, NOTHING THAT WE'VE PUT FORWARD SAYING THEY HAVE TO OR DON'T HAVE TO. THAT'S GOING TO BE A MOMENT WE'LL ALL BE WATCHING FOR. AND NO AUDIENCE. NO AUDIENCE. AND THAT IS SOMETHING THAT DID HAPPEN IN THE FIRST DEBATE TOO. AND REALLY LISTEN, THIS IS A VERY SMALL THEATER. WE'VE BEEN OUT THERE FOR A WEEK BUILDING THIS STAGE. I'M HEADING THERE IN A COUPLE OF DAYS TO JOIN THE REST OF THE TEAM. IT'S VERY INTIMATE, AND I THINK THAT'S REALLY GOING TO ALSO PLAY INTO IT. >> FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE WATCHING THIS RIGHT HERE LIVE ON CHANNEL SEVEN NEXT WEEK, THE RULES DO SET THE TONE FOR THE NIGHT, CORRECT? BECAUSE WE'VE SEEN SOME OF THESE OTHER DEBATES IN PREVIOUS YEARS, IN PREVIOUS CYCLES WHERE THE RULES WEREN'T SET UP THIS WAY AND WE SAW WHAT HAPPENED, THINGS MAYBE GO OFF THE RAILS. YOU CAN'T REALLY UNDERSTAND. >> IT WASN'T VERY POLITE. AND THE THING ABOUT THE OLD FASHIONED DEBATE CYCLE, LIKE, LET'S LET ME GO BACK 20 YEARS, THERE WAS THIS WHOLE THING THAT WE SHOULD BE POLITE TO EACH OTHER BECAUSE WE ARE RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT AND WE WANT TO LOOK PRESIDENTIAL. SURE. WELL, THAT'S JUST GONE TOTALLY. NOW IT'S ALMOST LIKE A WRESTLING MATCH. SO HOW DO YOU ARE YOU GUYS READY AND PREPARED? >> LISTEN, DAVID AND LINSEY ARE OBVIOUSLY PREPARING. WE ALL KNOW THEM. THEY'RE FANTASTIC. THEY'RE GOING TO DO AN AMAZING JOB I THINK THAT OBVIOUSLY THE DEBATE YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT SAM IS THAT FIRST DEBATE IN 2020 BETWEEN JOE BIDEN AND DONALD TRUMP, WHICH WAS A TRAIN WRECK. WE ALL SAW IT. YOU COULDN'T EVEN GET A WORD OUT. THIS IS GOING TO BE VERY DIFFERENT. I THINK THE RULES ALSO WILL HELP THAT CONVERSATION. THIS IS 90 MINUTES, RIGHT? IN THE BATTLEGROUND STATE OF PENNSYLVANIA. WE KNOW BOTH CAMPAIGNS ARE FIGHTING HARD FOR IT. CANNOT MISS. ALL RIGHT, JOHN SANTUCCI, WE APPRECIATE IT. >> THE FIRST DEBATE BETWEEN VICE PRESIDENT HARRIS AND FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP WILL BE MODERATED. AS JOHN MENTIONED, ABC NEWS COMING UP TUESDAY. IT'S TUESDAY, TUESDAY, RIGHT AROUND THE COUNTDOWN TO
