For much of the debate, Vice President Joe Biden could barely finish a thought, as President Trump interrupted him at least 73 times.

The fourth major wildfire in three years is spreading in the hills north of San Francisco. The Glass Fire has burned dozens of homes and threatens thousands of others. It's one of nearly 30 fires burning in the state, where this year's wildfires have burned almost 25 times as much land as last year.

Gibney shares how he gained access into the Russian troll farms and how he got many of the key figures to sit down for an interview. He tells Reid why he believes Russia was looking to sow chaos in the United States and how the country was unprepared for asymmetrical warfare. However at the core, Gibney says Russia did nothing but expose division that already existed and what they did only worked because we are so polarized.

There are just 36 days to go until the presidential election, and the president's taxes are among the many issues sure to come up at the first debate tomorrow night. Judge Amy Coney Barrett will meet with lawmakers on Capitol Hill this week after the president formally introduced her as his Supreme Court pick over the weekend.
