CNN’s Michael Smerconish is joined by Former Ohio Senate Candidate Tim Ryan and Former Minnesota Senator Dr. Scott Jensen to talk about what it’s like debating vice president nominees JD Vance and Tim Walz respectively. #CNN #News
What a bitter pill this man is. Still regretting life because he didn’t address important issues and concerns in a past debate. As a former team mom, I recognized every coach as a coach, no matter their position. If their skills, knowledge and inspiration helped those kids score a touchdown, then he’s a coach!!!
...and spreading lies about Covid back then, I mean, even as a medical doctor. What does this tell us about him? I guess Walz could've attacked him much harder on his nonsense worldviews.
@@feffygracie the more Walz should be complimented because he volunteered. That's what Walz has been saying, in a small community your neighbors maybe democrats or republicans but you help each other in times of need.
That Republican "Dr" doesn't make any sense. Walz has said he "helped" coach a team to a state championship which is entirely accurate since he was an assistant coach. Nice try at spin, doc, but you failed.
Lol The MAGA expert advises Vance to just label Tim as far left, and not go too deep into the topics and discuss actual politics. That’s pretty telling.
Like most Americans, who follow football know that there are multiple coaches. So him saying that he coached state championship football team is not inaccurate.
I think jd vance is a great liar great at misrepresenting the facts great at impersonating Trump. So hes not going to answer any qiestions and always deflecting.
@Flash3-22 we all have hearts. Doesn't make us presidential material. I really think she had 4 years to prove herself and she didn't. Blaming Trump for everything is not convincing. He's not in the white house. She is.
Dr. Jensen comes across as salty and a little resentful. He personalizes his debate encounter with Walz and focused on issues outside of the realm of their debate. For me, it took away from the whole objective of the interview.
Insanity= DOING THE SAME THING EXPECTING DIFFERENT RESULTS. Socialism / Communism has never worked 😂😂😂 asked the illegals invading the country why did they live their countries…😂
Scott Jensen is a GP and an anti-vaxxer, anti-masker, conspiracy theorist. I’m in MN and wouldn’t let him near my pets or kids. He’s from the same ilk as ex-MN US House of Representative Michele Bachman and current MN US Rep (House Majority Whip) Tom Emmer. Still VOTING ALL BLUE to remove unwanted WEIRD CREEPY MAGA Orange Stains….
Lawfare at its finest and evidence of the degradation of the legal system under Biden's appointee Merrick Garland with collusion by Democratic district attorneys.
@@sharonberry410 Well said! Agree, been there, done that, even got various T-shirts of that style. Wishing you, and all those previously personally damaged by malignant narcissism, the very best.
@@cathleenheckert2575 I was stating reality, not claiming victim hood. Projection, anyone??? That's a major symptom of narcissism. You need to take a long look in the mirror. Ask yourself why you lead with hate.
@@feffygracie I don’t know what wealthy community you live in but Assistant Coaches are volunteers where I live. Because they don’t get paid just proves that they are in it for the kids. Nice try.
@mistyblues6218 That was 30 years ago. He tried to resign as a teacher also, but the principal, other teachers and students talked him out of it. Exceptional school teachers are rare and valuable. At least he had the humility to try and do the right thing. Would jd or DontheCon have done that?
Normal people when they see tim , we see happiness and respecting women kind of guy. NO NEED to do research. His face and manners represent all of that characters. BUT LOOK AT VANCE what he did to OHIO , same as TRUMP with January 6th
@@paulboileau3758 every time thinking about of how many people and this much percentage of people support VANCE and TRUMP , the idea of it is just really horrifying ...
That would work but the Sgt. Major dressing down the clueless Corporal would work WAY better AND the optics would be something that vance couldn't escape, even if he ran for the rest of his existence.
Walz should compare Vance to Trump, unfavorably, "Trump is 10x the man" yada yada, "and you both suck". Vance has no executive experience whatsoever, he couldn't run an ice cream truck let alone the country. He wrote a mediocre book then became Peter Thiel's lackey, now he's Trump's lackey and a lackey is all he knows how to be...like a tick sucking on a tapeworm.
Jensen seems a little butthurt at losing to Walz. Who cares if he was a head coach or an assistant coach. Walz retired honorably after 20+ years of military service. Republicans truly have nothing on Tim Walz.
@@MDMcNugget domestic terrorism is what is happening at border. Allowing everyone into the country. Domestic terrorism is what BLM did destroying private and public properties. You will wake up you will see. I am an immigrant by the way. You have no idea what socialism is. You have never lived in it.
@@krisjones4051 why is this funny. A lot of people suffering there because of those lies. Some of whom are children. Can we go back to being human and acting like intelligent adults? They had Proud Boys marching through their town. Ffs, grow up.
Dr. Jensen suggested that vance should focus on walz's record as a national guard and his being a coach to catch him on his lies. But it's true that Walz served in the National guard and served as an assistant coach of a football team. The National Guard and the football team could have called out Walz if he was lying, they did not. However, with vance he doubled down the lies about the haitian immigrants eating dogs and cats which Ohio officials repeatedly denied. If one is honest, if you've been listening to the 2 candidates, Walz spoke in rallies clearly and you could understand his message. With vance, he's similar to trump in speaking style, like rambling and angry most of the time. Vance is younger than trump but he has cognitive problem.
They did call Tim out for lying saying he fought in war when he ran from war. He lies about dumb stuff so that means he lies about the big stuff too. A liar is a fucking liar.
@@cathleenheckert2575 Why don't you get off these responses. You add nothing to the discussion but only paint yourself an an elementary school kid calling people names.
@@cathleenheckert2575 Speaking of drag... Have you seen the old photos of Vance in drag? For a while, Vance was confused about his sexual orientation. His best friend in school was trans, and Vance's financial backer is Peter Thiel, who is openly gay. A week ago I heard Vance speaking and he called his wife "My husband." No shit! It was weird. I think Vance STILL has issues concerning his sexuality. My older brother is gay and he said lots of gay professional men marry women and have kids just so they "appear" straight. With a political career in the republican party, it's best to be or appear straight.
Are you legally blind? Vance is arguably the sharpest and most skilled debater in Congress. Will be a bloodbath at the debate with Camela’s Tampon Tim.
Fascinating. The Republican guy that lost to Walz, thinks Vance could pin him down on his military service (that Walz was not truthful about the rank he mentioned - but that can be complicated) and that he was only 1 of 7 assistant coaches (so he DID coach students). REALLY - that is supposed to be the level of the debate, THAT is the weakness of Walz. No wonder that Republican lost to Walz. At least he did not bring up the 2 dogs in the park, or that Walz "abandoned" his unit when he retired after 24 years of service. What has all of this to do with politics and with being a trustworthy person. Vance correctly said that Trump might be American's Hitler and then he sold out. Never mind later admitting to smearing Haitian residents in Springfield because "the people there are suffering" and that needed debate. They "suffer" fromt he problem of experiencing a boom in manufacturing. That is a good problem to have.
Get Walz on his speeding DUI that he lies about - 96mph, drunk as a skunk in a 55mph zone. Was arrested and there is a mugshot. He has said it is not true. Get him on his _repeatedly_ saying "when I was in a war zone," which he never was. He is a flat-out liar on many subjects. As noted in this video, he loved support from the NRA at one time, then it was no longer useful. Exactly like Harris, he goes the way the wind blows. Trump still has the same convictions about policy that he had 30 years ago. With Trump, you know what you get. With Harris/Walz, you're getting wolves in sheep's clothing. (Socialists/Communists in "sort of patriotic Capitalists" costumes. They'll take those disguises off, trust me.)
Very cute: Walz was absolutely truthful about his rank-as the Minnesota National Guard pointed out in response to the BS being spun. Yes, it is more complicated. (For the record: Walz served as CSM E9 until his retirement. Per DOD regulations, for retirement purposes, he retains the rank last held for 36 months ...just like 20% of military retirees.) The weakness you point out is the general public's failure to understand how military regulations work
@@PatrickWilkinson-tb9yo Aw sweet...Read the OP: it is complicated-Walz served 20 years BEFORE 9/11. Walz was deployed several times-including to the Arctic Circle (before 9/11) and as backfill in 2002. Here is the complicated part: You go where you are sent. More complicated stuff for you junior. According to DOD regulations. Walz served as CSM-E9 until the day he took off the uniform. Then PER DOD regulations: FOR RETIREMENT PURPOSES-he retains the rank last held for 36 months FOR RETIREMENT PURPOSES...like 20% of military retirees (One other complicated thing for you junior-retirees may not be receiving retirement pay...They may be getting "retainer pay") So stop spreading your ignorance junior
Well Ohio is a republican dominated state that's why Ryan lost to vance. And now this same senator is the one putting down Ohio, especially the city of Springfield. People of Ohio, that's what you get if you elected based on party not the character of the candidate.
@StellaDoe As a Trump supporter, I agree. But the platform he ran on was unacceptable. No right thinking person should vote for the current Democrat party.
VANCE and TRUMP they bully others and the supporters are afraid of leaders who are doing the right thing the right way. ALmost all trump and vance supporters are bullies we all have seen. I know some of them who are just clueless , not bullies. TRUMP's economy was from Obama's and Joe biden's economy was from TRUMP's . TRUMP did nothing good with economy in reality . But he did good job with border control that Kamala Harris didn't manage well on that matter. TRUMP is a convicted felon running to be a president of USA. It is scary to even think about it.
Walz is a disgrace; he stood back and watched his city burn, ordered police to fire on innocent residents on their porches with paintball guns, and set up a snitch hotline to rat on neighbors. His Trans-Refuge Bill allows gender-altering drugs and mutilating surgeries for children and, even worse, without their parent's consent. I don't know how anyone can be okay with this.
It's been obvious from the start that the left hand isn't talking to the right. Most of the time when Vance speaks about something Trump has said *or will do*, he hasn't actually spoken directly to Trump about it first, so it's mostly just projection. He likes to pretend he knows what Trump actually believes, but he doesn't.
@@RichardQuaid sonin that case everyone that ever called Donald Trump a threat to democracy or Hitler .. or said he should be eliminated should also be sued ... Am I right 👍👍👍
I wouldn't count my chickens before they hatch. We like Walz but don't make the mistake of underestimating vance. He's articulate and, like him or not, obviously intelligent, and he's NOT going to just lie down and let Walz walk all over him. This is going to be a fight. It may well be a SHORT fight, but there are going to be some SERIOUS punches thrown by BOTH sides and, if Walz isn't 100% on his game, he's going to lose this thing and never know exactly HOW he lost.
@@stevejohnson170 He's not THAT "inept"; he beat a very capable opponent, after all. Keep in mind, we have a low opinion of vance but that does NOT mean he's not intelligent. It MEANS that we tend to discount his intelligence BECAUSE of the low opinion. I have a feeling that folks are going to be surprised that they underestimated vance's intelligence.
@@slactweak all you need to do is repeat back to Shady what he originally said about Chump. It makes everything else he now says complete twaddle. He cannot defend himself. He’s going to get crushed. Walz is likeable.
Tim Walz "dumped" the NRA after yet another mass school shooting when his daughter Hope came to him, asking him to do something about gun violence. That is a deep, profound moment, not something on a whim 'because the NRA wasn't of use to him." Being able to take in data and change one's mind accordingly is a good thing. As for word salad, that term is getting way over used these days and applied to everything someone doesn't like. It takes astounding gall to be a Trump supporter accusing someone else of word salad.
Soooooo looking forward to that debate!!! Voting up and down the ballot BLUE November 5th, 2024!!!!💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙 Just think that one day if something was to happen to Trump JD would become the President of the United States. Wake up GOP no one wants the person that attacks childless women and help to cause a community to spend unnecessary funds to protect their citizens due to a false claim of a group of people are eating their pets!!! 😡😡😡😡😡
Wow the republican guy just described Donald Trump.... Work salad and you think it sounds like something and then you realize it was nothing - Actually that's being generous to Trump he always sounds like it's a worked salad from start to finish and it influence harsh Bitter-tasting Non greens. There is nothing green about Donald Trump Accept his desire for money and his jealousy for attention
Walz was a US Congressman (the top Democrat on the Veterans Committee), Governor of Minnesota, Command Sergeant Major in the National Guard (24 years of service), school teacher and "coach." Most people never accomplish so much in their entire lives.
@@rrb-956 Agree...Vance needs to be booted from any office and prosecuted. I am supporting the current law suit leveled against both Trump and Vance for that despicable lie fest. They both lack any amount of emotional intelligence...the one thing you need to see in a leader.
Jensen had asserted that state courts had already decided that abortion rights were protected under the Minnesota Constitution and accused Walz of “fearmongering” by claiming they might be in danger. He said he wouldn’t ban abortion because he couldn’t - that it would take a constitutional amendment.
Dude I still haven’t been convinced by one answer Kamala has given to any interviewer. And all of her interviews have been softballs by people who want her to win! Hahahaha
Think again... Walz watched his city burn, ordered police to fire on innocent residents on their porches with paintball guns, and set up a snitch hotline to rat on neighbors. His Trans-Refuge Bill allows gender-altering drugs and mutilating surgeries for children and, even worse, without their parent's consent. I don't know how anyone can be okay with this.
Vance's unscrupulous tactics are self evident. Walz just has to watch Vance bury himself and allow him to keep piling on the dirt. Easy night for Walz.
This would be a disaster! JD is only interest in taking Trump plays he's not there for Trump he want to be president himself so he would make Trump look stupid which is his plan to still from Trump. They are both pathetic!!!! 💙💙💙💙💙💙
The 90-minute debate will start at 9 p.m. EDT on Oct. 1. It's being moderated by “CBS Evening News” anchor Norah O’Donnell and Margaret Brennan of CBS' “Face the Nation”
@@chectasy1731 No, he callously caused a lot of suffering in a struggling community. There is no such thing as a "border czar." Kamala was never in charge of the border. Her job was to travel to Central America and determine WHY people were leaving their homes and going to the Mexican border into the USA. She made speeches and told people NOT to go to the USA and that it would be difficult for them to stay in the USA, and she worked with officials there to try to create JOBS for people so they wouldn't need to leave. So, she went to the source of the problem instead of building a 2,000 mile wall -- or, as Trump originally thought of doing, building a moat and stocking it with snakes and alligators. Yep, he said that! 2000 miles of snakes and alligators! Real smart.

Trump answers every question, loves press conferences and speaks honestly from the heart. Harris never answers questions, runs from reporters and recites gibberish.
@@civilization57trump never answers questions. He deflects, goes off on unrelated tangents, lies, slurs, tells snake or electrocuted shark stories, makes up words, or doesn’t have an understanding of the issues.
Democratic vice presidential candidate Tim Walz knows how to lean into abortion rights on the debate stage. He’s done it before. Just ask his Republican opponent in the 2022 Minnesota governor’s race, Dr. Scott Jensen, who was on the receiving end of Walz’s attacks - and saw firsthand how effective Walz could be in exposing an opponent’s shifting positions on abortion.
Lol the people that know them the best speaking on their behalf . VANCE: he will lie about everything, he's against women's rights and has no values. WALTZ: he wasn't the main coach... just the assistant... These are the 2 people that know these candidates the best...
Assistant coaches are considered coaches because they coach. The players call them coach. The teams need multiple coaches, so they call the first one "coach" and others "assistance coaches." Don't try to make it less than what it was.
It's like watching the NBA playoffs, and it's 100% free. No tickets are necessary. The ultimate smack down. Float like a butterfly and sting like a bee, Mr. Walz. Good luck on Tuesday, Sir.
Dr.Jansen is hung up on Walz being a coach. Yes, assistant coaches help teams win championships. Assistant coaches have the most contact and influence with players,especially in football, head coaches are just talking heads. Obviously the Dr. has never played football. Offensive and defensive coordinators are assistant coaches Dr.
What is vance's experience? JD Vance could easily be President of the united states. Donald is very old and likely to die in office. JD is almost childish.
Vance has been US senator for 8 months, that's the extent of his experience as elected government official. But trump has zero experience as elected official when he ran as US president in 2016. Trump's followers forgot what happened when trump was president- big tax cut to the rich, more government expenditure (without visible improvement) equals deficit. So trump passed this deficit to Pres. Biden who started his term at the height of the pandemic.
Jensen does not understand the defensive coordinator is an important part of a football state championship. Jensen said he is just 1 of 7 assistants and that may be true however the the defensive coordinator has other assistants that work below him that he is in charge of ( DB coach, Linback coach, D-Line coach) It is the defensive coordinator who makes the calls. Again Republicans work to tear people down. Democrats work to build people up.
*What will these two contribute or say if they couldn't successfully win against both walz and vance?......they're both regretting what they could have done better by then. Just a waste of time to give them an air time!*
Do people really not understand that when an assistant coach says he helped coach a team to a national title that’s a true statement. Assistant coaches play a major role in a team’s success. It’s also so inconsequential when it comes to being Vice President, so I welcome Vance to focus on those things that most people don’t care about. It will only help Harris and Walz.
Dr Jensen failed on the basic approach to debating- each debate could be your last. win every one. if he could not win the first three... then how many more did he need?
Seriously? WTF is going on with this interview. Isn’t news supposed to provide information? Not just make up ridiculous insults! Shame on you calling yourself reporters.
