Vance's CBS Town Hall | Slotkin's 'Deterrence Message' | France Erupts | 10/19/26

Aaron McIntire covers Vice President JD Vance's CBS News town hall in Michigan, where he blamed Democratic policies for high energy prices and said there's a chance he doesn't run for president in 2028. He covers the Bend, Oregon elementary school shooting that killed three children and a teacher, and the teacher and armed father who stopped the 16-year-old gunman. Aaron also covers Texas Senate nominee James Talarico saying an assault weapons ban remains on the table, Senator Elissa Slotkin's remarks about creating a deterrence message with prosecutions of Trump administration officials, and a Los Angeles Times report on advocates' claim that a surge in ICE raids aims to discourage voter turnout. He plays Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent on Meet the Press defending the administration's 60-day review of Russia sanctions and tariffs by pointing to Europe's continued purchases of Russian energy. Aaron breaks down the weekend's mass protests across France, where the interior minister counted 550,000 people, police made about 400 arrests, rioters looted luxury stores, a Lyon tourist office was torched and Limoges's 143-year-old city hall burned. He closes with Vance's response to a student's question about his H-1B comments and ICE, in which he said his rhetoric may have been imperfect.
