[03:48] Trump today was decidedly less on message than his own running mate, J.D. Vance, who took aim at Walz's military service, reminiscent of the 2004 Republican effort to discredit the war record of then-Democratic presidential nominee John Kerry, a tactic orchestrated by Trump's now campaign adviser Chris LaCivita. Vance at his campaign event yesterday used the controversial term stolen valor, often used to describe people who've lied outright about serving in the military.
[08:57] Now what's happened with Harris, the enthusiasm, the energy, the shots you showed from where she's campaigning in these battleground states means that both teams now have everybody on the field, which means this is a battle of inches, not of yards. They are both lined up.
[24:06] REP. NANCY PELOSI: Well, they also said at the time when I was running, who said she could run? Who said she could call me? Who said -- So -- and all of this is in this century. We're not talking about something -- this is in the 21st century. Yes. Well, it was just their old way of thinking, God bless their hearts. But the fact is, I said to them, I don't want you voting for me because I'm a woman, but I don't want you voting against me because I'm a woman. I just want to show you what -- why I think we can win back the House.
[25:19] But I always thought we'd have a woman president before we'd have a woman speaker, because the Congress is a very male-dominated, marble-ceiling kind of place, to break a marble ceiling.
[31:56] REP. NANCY PELOSI: Well, first, we just have to -- we start where we are. We have to win the election, and we make a decision to win. When you make a decision to win, then you make every decision in favor of winning, decide to own the ground with your mobilization to get out the vote, a decision to have a bold, progressive message that is non-menacing, that addresses the kitchen table issues of the American people, a decision to have the resources, the money to do these two things.
[32:56] Some elections are just a few votes difference in a state makes a difference. I always compare it to the Olympics, since we're in the season. Gold, silver, bronze, happy to be Olympian, like within one second, within one second. These elections are that close.
[36:34] BOB FENTON, Federal Emergency Management Agency: There's already 40 houses that are in some part of being constructed right now. The majority of those properties have been turned back over so the permits can be pulled. So we have done everything we can to ensure that we're returning it back to its pre-disaster condition and that it's safe to rebuild.
[40:20] The second is that the threat appears to have been in the soft outside perimeter, rather than inside the concert hall.
[43:35] The specific individual who was arrested with the explosives was unknown, relatively -- or unknown to law enforcement there, is radicalized, from what we understand from family members, in a relatively short period of time, and is probably just going down the rabbit hole of radicalization. They find you, they bring you into back channels, into Web sites or the Dark Web
[46:18] ROSS CULLEN: There are 100,000 homeless people like Mamadou living in and around Paris, but not enough shelter to house all of them. Last year, the French government began busing the homeless, many of whom are migrants, to temporary shelters across the country. Activists call the monthslong campaign social cleansing.
[51:51] And it was really hard because that summer I was going into my junior year of high school, and something switched in my mind and I was like, I cannot let this experience sort of repeat itself in my life.
[52:23] When I was 14 years old, my friends and I decided to go to the movie theaters. We were driving down the 101 when a big rig cut the van that we were in. We hit the back of the big rig and went into a ditch. It absolutely changed my life. I ended up with a fractured skull, with a fractured back, a fractured wrist.
