LIVE
LIVE FROM
LIVE FROM INDY. YOU'RE WATCHING 13. WELL, WE'VE ALL HAD 24 HOURS TO DIGEST WHAT WE SAW
UNFOLD DURING LAST NIGHT'S
PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE. ARE TWO
CANDIDATES GOING AFTER ONE
ANOTHER IN A WAY WE HAVE NEVER
SEEN BEFORE? WOULD YOU LISTEN?
YOU GRADUATED EITHER THE LOWEST
OR ALMOST THE LOWEST IN CLASS.
DON'T EVER USE THE WORD SMART
WITH ME. YOU'RE THE WORST
PRESIDENT IN AMERICA'S EVER
HAD. I MEAN THINGS WERE SO BAD
LAST NIGHT. THE GROUP THAT PUTS
THESE DEBATES TOGETHER IS NOW
MAKING CHANGES TO KEEP EVERYONE
IN LINE. THE NEXT TIME AROUND.
NOW WE DID GET A LITTLE BIT
OF INFORMATION ON WHETHER
PRESIDENT AND FORMER VISE
PRESIDENT STAND ON THE ISSUES
BUT SOME OF THEIR CLAIMS
WEREN'T EVEN TRUE. SO FOR
TONIGHT'S BIG STORY WE'RE
GIVING YOU THE TOOLS TO SPOT
FACT FROM FICTION. THE NEXT
TIME THEY TAKE THE STAGE AND
SCOTT. HERE'S THE THING. WE'VE
GOT TWO MORE OF THESE DEBATES
BEFORE THE GENERAL ELECTION.
AND REGARDLESS OF WHERE YOU
FALL POLITICALLY, I THINK THE
STAKES CAN ALL AGREE ARE JUST
TOO HIGH TO SIMPLY NOT BE
INFORMED. WE HAVE A HIGHER
DEFICIT WITH CHINA NOW THAN WE
DID BEFORE. WELL, SO FAR WE
HAVE HAD NO PROBLEM WHATSOEVER.
IT'S OUTSIDE. THAT'S A BIG
DIFFERENCE ACCORDING TO THE
EXPERTS. WE DO AMOUNTS. WE HAVE
TREMENDOUS CROWDS. OUR VERIFIED
TEAM TOOK A LOOK AT BOTH
OF THOSE CLAIMS AND DETERMINED
THAT THEY WERE FALSE. BUT IN
REAL TIME THAT CAN BE PRETTY
HARD TO DECIPHER. SO BEFORE YOU
PICK A CANDIDATE'S WORD FOR IT,
HERE'S A FEW WAYS TO VERIFY FOR
YOURSELF. POLITIFACT AND DOT
ORG OR TWO NONPARTISAN SOURCES
THAT I LIKE AND THEY'RE PRETTY
QUICK ABOUT LOOKING INTO
CANDIDATES CLAIMS AND EVEN AS A
REPORTER I'LL SCREAM THROUGH
SOCIAL MEDIA AND HAVE A HARD
TIME FIGURING OUT VALIDITY. SO
FIND SOURCES THAT YOU TRUST. IF
YOU'RE HEARING SOMETHING
FROM SOME PLACE OR SOMEONE THAT
YOU'VE NEVER HEARD OF , BE
SKEPTICAL. A REVERSE IMAGE
SEARCH IS ALSO A GOOD TOOL IF
YOU'RE UNSURE ABOUT THE ORGINS
OF A PICTURE THAT YOU SAW. AND
OF COURSE USE US WILL HELP
VERIFIED SOME OF THESE CLAIMS
FOR YOU. YOU CAN SEND US AN
E-MAIL ANYTIME. VERIFY AT WTA
HAAKON IF YOU'VE BEEN ONLINE
SINCE LAST NIGHT YOU'VE
PROBABLY SEEN HEADLINES LIKE
THESE DOZENS OF WEB SITES
CALLING TO CANCEL THE NEXT TWO
PRESIDENTIAL DEBATES BEFORE THE
ELECTION. BUT IT DOESN'T LOOK
LIKE THAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN.
BOTH PRESIDENT TRUMP AND JOE
BIDEN'S CAMPAIGN SAY EACH
CANDIDATE IS COMMITTED TO
SHOWING UP FOR THE NEXT DEBATE.
NOW THAT NEXT DEBATE IS
STRUCTURED A LITTLE BIT
DIFFERENTLY WHICH COULD MEAN
LESS SHOUTING OVER ONE ANOTHER
.AND NEW TONIGHT SOURCES ARE
TELLING NBC NEWS THE GROUP
ORGANIZING THE PRESIDENTIAL
DEBATE IS CONSIDERING TURNING
OFF A CANDIDATE'S MICROPHONE IF
THEY BREAK THE RULES. ON
OCTOBER 15TH, PRESIDENT TRUMP
AND FORMER VISE PRESIDENT JOE
BIDEN WILL TRAVEL TO MIAMI FOR
A TOWN HALL. THEY'LL EACH GET
TWO MINUTES TO ANSWER QUESTIONS
FROM MEMBERS OF THE AUDIENCE
WHO ARE ALL UNDECIDED. NOW THE
MODERATOR THAT NIGHT WILL BE
STEVE SCULLY FROM SI
FROM C-SPAN. HE WILL THEN ALLOW
AN ADDITIONAL MINUTE PER
QUESTION FOR FURTHER
DISCUSSION. AFTER THAT
OCTOBER 15TH DEBATE, THE
PRESIDENT AND JOE BIDEN GET ONE
MORE CHANCE TO SWAY VOTERS WITH
THE THIRD AND FINAL DEBATE
COMING UP ON OCTOBER 22ND. A
LOT OF PEOPLE DIDN'T EVEN WAIT
FOR THE DEBATES TO CAST THEIR
VOTE THIS YEAR AND VOTER
TURNOUT COULD BE A KEY FACTOR
IN THIS PRESIDENTIAL RACE. SO
LET'S CONNECT THE DOTS. THE
UNITED STATES ELECTION PROJECT
SAYS MORE THAN A MILLION PEOPLE
ALREADY CAST THEIR BALLOT FOR
THE NOVEMBER ELECTION. WE'VE
NEVER SEEN EARLY VOTING NUMBERS
THIS HIGH. IN FACT, AT THIS
POINT IN 2016, JUST ABOUT 9000
PEOPLE VOTED. SO WHO BENEFITS
FROM ALL THESE VOTES? THE
TRADITIONAL THINKING IS
DEMOCRATS WIN WHEN MORE PEOPLE
VOTE. BUT THIS YEAR THAT MAY
NOT BE THE CASE. ELECTION
EXPERTS SAY MORE PEOPLE ARE
HEADING TO THE POLLS AT THE
FIRST OPPORTUNITY BECAUSE
PRESIDENT TRUMP NOT JUST HIS
SUPPORTERS BUT ALSO PEOPLE WHO
STRONGLY OPPOSE HIM. AND IT'S
NOT JUST PRESIDENTIAL PASSION
DRIVING THIS YEAR'S EARLY
TURNOUT. A LOT OF STATES ARE
EXPANDING EARLY VOTING AND
MAKING EASIER TO VOTE BY MAIL
BECAUSE OF THE PANDEMIC. THIS
NEW ACCESS ALONG WITH CONCERNS
ABOUT CODED 19 AND LONG LINES
ON DAY MAY ALSO BE A MOTIVATING
FACTOR. EARLY VOTING BEGINS
HERE IN INDIANA IN JUST SIX
DAYS AND WE'RE HERE TO MAKE
SURE THAT YOU'VE GOT ALL THE
INFORMATION THAT YOU NEED IN
ORDER TO CAST YOUR BALLOT. SO
JUST TEXAS SEND THE WORD VOTE
TO THE NUMBER THAT YOU SEE HERE
ON YOUR SCREEN. WE'RE GOING TO
SEND YOU ALL THE LINKS THAT
YOU'LL NEED TO THE KEY ELECTION
