hillary clinton picked this time line. i know people are going to say it's the political season, i just got this information from the fbi. we are days, legislative days, after this happened. i flew in to go see and read the documents downstairs and i tell you, we're going to move in a rapid pace, no matter the political calendar, and we would be derelict in our duty if we didn't do it. >> now, maryland democrat elijah cummings is the top democrat on that committee, clearly is not buying it, pushing back rather strongly at this morning's hearing. >> this is an attack. an attack on hillary clinton's candidacy for president of the united states of america. referral to the justice department that is ludicrous on its face. then he sent another referral. accusing secretary clinton of obstructing justice. these actions had their desired effect. they kept repeating the headline that hillary clinton is under investigation. >> now, this hearing, coming on the heels of cummings releasing an e-mail exchange between colin powell, the f

we know a lot about hillary clinton. we know she's healthy. >> but we were all alarmed when we saw that video. i'm sure you were aalarmed, as well. she left the 9/11 event early, she was being escorted. as she walks into that van, she collapses. there you'll see it right there. she goes down. they carry her into the van. we saw that video. i'm sure you agree, it was very, very disturbing. >> well, wolf, you know, we've seen over the years leaders who were dehydrated and i remember once when george h.w. bush was on that presidential trip to japan and had an episode at a state dinner in japan. it's not unheard of for people who work this hard to have these moments. but as you saw an hour or two later, she was out waving to the cameras and her old self. ten minutes earlier, i was right next to her at the time she left the event and she was chatting with everyone. i just think the heat got to her and she was dealing with this condition for a few days. but we shouldn't make more of it. we have to get to the core issue here. i

hillary clinton called him racist. trump tried to paint her as a typical politician. >> this certainly lived up to the hype. now, who won? that's a tricky question. we have a cnn post debate poll that shows it wasn't even close. big night for clinton. so how will this result play into the overall race as the candidates get back on the trail? we have it covered for you. let's begin with cnn's phil mattingly. >> reporter: good morning, chris. we know both candidates had a specific message. hillary clinton ready, prepared for office. donald trump, the breaker of the status quo. as you well know, that doesn't mean there would not be punches throw and a few haymakers land.

hillary clinton the day before that. the late ef evidence, hillary clinton has the lead there at the moment and her campaign is determined to do what it takes to keep it that way. just noted, four electoral votes. why do they care? running a razor thin race scenarios in tabletop sessions more often than not see new hampshire as a must-win for trump. clinton priority one big a bigger prize like florida or north carolina cutting off trump's back to 270. preparing for the worst case scenarios's in those, top clinton aides are a big believer, new hampshire's four could prove the difference and will keep getting attention and resources. thanks for watching "inside politics" today. see you back here tomorrow. wolf picks up the coverage right after a quick break. polo! marco...! polo! marco...! polo! marco...! sì? polo! marco...! polo! scusa? ma io sono marco polo, ma... marco...! playing "marco polo" with marco polo? surprising. ragazzini, io sono marco polo. sì, sono qui... what's not surprising? how much money amanda and k

that really hurts hillary clinton. that's a key point of his strategy. >> i'm curious what you are picking up in terms of fallout from the debate for donald trump within the campaign and in terms of seeing a different trump and a different strategy from him in the next few debates. is it going to be the first show. >> he didn't prepare for the next debate which is not too big of a surprise, but the experience of having suffered from not preparing is perhaps the only thing that could have forced him into preparing. i think it is more likely he will show up prepared and can he exhibit the self control when he walks on the stage to use his preparation. that's really the question. >> from the clinton standpoint on this thing, they are very happy with how things went and with what happened afterwards in terms of the alicia machado story. when they look ahead, overconfidence is a risk. anything else they need to be worried about or mindful? >> in terms of the next debate for hillary clinton, she tried to exploit donald trump

if donald trump is ready for hillary clinton. >> we are ready for hillary clinton. sort of agree with senator obama in 2008 when he ran against her where he said hillary will do anything and say anything to win. that's the hillary clinton we are prepared for. i think hillary is in a tough spot. hillary clinton needs to be held to ask the fccount for her reco without benefit of income ben see. >> one of the things the trump campaign will try to play to is the first debate seems to be polished but sometimes runs into difficulty for the follow up. trump will do what he can to push her into the follow up territory. jennifer flowers will not be sitting in the front row. the trump campaign put that to bed yesterday morning it was only in response to what hillary clinton's campaign and whap marc cuban were talking about cuban being in front row to get into trump's head. >> she said she will be there with a big smooch. >> not going to happen. >> the ticket is not extended. >> it is a moot smooch. >> small debate victory in the form of a super sized podium while her campaign

sure that the aides of hillary clinton and hillary clinton herself would probably say she's working at home today, just out of sight of the cameras. but have you heard from your sources any reaction to those remarks from president obama yet? and also, have we gotten any real updates on how secretary clinton is today? >> reporter: i haven't gotten an official reaction from the clinton campaign but they, of course, loved what they heard. they were retweeting everything president obama said, which is what you would expect. this campaign event by the president couldn't come at a better time for secretary clinton given what she's dealing with. this helps her to turn the page a little bit. and president obama is not only a character witness for her because, of course, they have worked together. he chose her to be her secretary of state, but also he's someone who went from being a competitor to one of her closest allies. and he is also uniquely suited to talk about what it's like as commander in chief. they feel as though he's one of the strongest if not the strongest surrogate for hillary cl

¿quÉ te motivÓ a ser voluntario de la campaÑa de hillary clinton? >> es anti mexicano y antiinmigrante, medio mÁs ganas de apoyar al partido demÓcrata y a hillary. flavio: muchos lo calificaron como un debate intenso donde hubo momentos de tensiÓn, segÚn algunos, donald trump no desperdiciÓ ni un momento para atacar a clinton y aunque no se tocÓ el tema de la reforma migratoria, los demÓcratas dicen que tienen confianza en su candidato. >> mÁs que donald trump, ella no lo puede hacer sola, tiene que trabajar con todos los representantes. >> yo creo que ella tiene la capacidad, ella conoce, sabe, lo Último que le falta es gente que la apoye, para eso estamos acÁ. flavio: la Última vez que donald trump y hillary clinton se enfrentan cara a cara serÁ el prÓximo jueves de octubre en un debate programado. leÓn: gracias flavio. en seguida, en una exclusiva mundial habla el hijo hasta ahora desconocido de juan gabriel. ademÁs, le damos un vistazo las temperaturas actuales cuando sondas 11:15, el termÓmetro marca 71 en san francisco, 69 en n

and that is exactly what hillary clinton did. that's exactly what now president obama did, you know, when he was talking about people clinging to their guns and their religion or mitt romney when he talked about the 47%. so she made a mistake. he's clearly taking advantage of it. what he didn't talk of course right now is her health issues. being magnanimous about that, taking the high road because that's also a smart political move right now. >> although he did two television interviews this morning in wish he expressed hopes she would come through, recover quickly. >> get well. >> and looking forward to the debates with hillary clinton. >> yes, but the campaign clearly wants to stay focused on the basket of deplorables. a new ad up on this topic. and look no further than hillary clinton's quick attempt at cleaning up on saturday to say she clearly made a mistake. there's no doubt about that. what is interesting and i think perhaps different than the 47% or the obama example you gave, those were closed door fund-raisers, and tho

hillary clinton is not talking about half the country. she's talking about a subset of donald trump supporters, and the trump campaign and the republican party can definitely give a great performance now about how offended they are, but you do also have to account in that for this much more problematic thing going on on their side of the aisle, the literal white supremacist press conference going on on friday, praising donald trump as their fair leader who's brought their movement so much more attention than they've ever had before. that does it for us. now it's time for the last word. >> good evening, how's your health? >> fair to midmiddling. >> i'm in the media, so i'm obsessed with health. >> i'll bring you some documentation later. >> tonight we will be joined by one of the heroic reporters of campaign 2016. he has been pursuing one thing and one thing only, donald trump's history of charitable giving. his findings have been shocking. this weekend he published a major summation of what he has found, searching all over the country. he

it was hillary clinton's health. and do you think that her health issue overshadows the basket of deplorable comments to where it is not as damaging as some think? >> i don't think so. they are two important issues in the campaign. a time where we are after the labor day holiday and full throttle. in regard to hillary clinton's health. everyone is human and we should not be vultures. >> but don't lie. >> i am not saying anybody should lie. i haven't been directed by the campaign. but people get sick. george bush was sick. >> but lying about the sickness. >> and the campaign said a lot of us were passing the bug to each other. >> they could have handled it better. >> lawence, one other part of donald trump's address and he took on the big issues. and said if you want a strong board. that doesn't make you racist. and if you don't want terrorism. that makes you someone that cares about the country. how effective was that line for donald trump. >> it is what he needs to do. i don't know if it is the hiring of kelli or wh

they are saying it is hillary clinton who has been dropping in the polls, it is hillary clinton who dropped out of the limelight so she could do debate prep over the last four days, and not surprisingly, wolf, they are trying to downplay expectations for donald trump saying he's going to be himself tonight, that he hasn't been doing the kind of debate prep we normally see from candidates. he's only been working with his advisers, no one-on-one for a stand-in for hillary clinton. but we'll have more talking points with this debate. they are trying to lay the groundwork just in case donald trump doesn't have a good night tonight, they are saying the fact checkers, including cnn, are a propaganda night of the clinton campaign, so if donald trump doesn't have a good night, it's not his fault, it's our fault. wolf? >> who are donald trump's personally invited guests for tonight? >> we do know they put out a list earlier today. retired general michael flynn will be sitting in donald trump's corner as one of his notable guests, according to the trump campaign. obviously his family and close advise

hillary clinton needs to do three things. she needs to show people her warm and friendly side, she needs to pick her spot to hold all, -- donald trump accountable and she need to try to explain to the american people what she would do to make their lives better if she were president. john: hillary clinton comes into the debate the favorite by far. has extensive experience doing one-on-one debate. she did a bunch of them with president obama and with bernie sanders. beene to say if i had running her in debate prep, the other thing i would've said if she needs to attack, not in an emotional way, but she needs to put donald trump on the defensive and tried to reveal him for what she believes him to be, which is manifestly unqualified to be president of the united states. try to get him to lose his cool and show people why she believes he is in fact unsuited for the highest office in the land. mark: this is where you and i disagree. i think she should talk about this a, and if she makes knife fight with donald trump, she risks pl

on hillary clinton. it is a tough sell but an indication of how donald trump felt he could get under her skin in the lead-up to this. again, we can't rule anything out. this is donald trump. it could come up. as of now, conway and the aides say this is not a line of attack they are looking to pursue. >> jeff zeleny now. let's turn to hillary clinton. what's her strategy during the last few hours? >> they have been practicing throughout the weekend last night until about midnight. they had several hours of practice today as well. hillary clinton is trying to internalize donald trump's various positions on a wide array of subjects. she's been gaming it out with the donald trump stand-in. a long time aide and adviser who is cantankerous pushing back at her. they have been gaming out a number of scenarios. one is if donald trump happened to bring up gennifer flowers, monica lewinsky or other matters like that. now robby mook, the campaign manager for hillary clinton, was on "state of the union" this morning

these were not offhand comments from hillary clinton. these were remarks not at all but given in an interview and probably in a number of interviews. these were lengthy planned and prepared remarks. it was perhaps the most explicit attack on the american voter ever spoken by a major party presidential nominee. total disrespect for the people of our country. clinton was using a very deliberate page from the democratic play book with one of the names, those names -- really, in order to scare and i mean trying seriously scare the amount of voting for change. we are bringing change. she can't bring change. she's been doing this for 35 years. she now talks about change. there's no change. it's going to be more of the same, only worse, it's going to be four more years of barack obama, only worse. she just took it to a whole new level by applying it to tens of millions of people. she used the vial words in order to intimidate citizens out of seeking government reform and there will be reform. there has to be reform. people who want their immigr

in hillary clinton. hillary clinton can block momentum. the goal for donald trump not to commit any great big errors. basically put a performance that that puts him as a leader and expectations as well. donald trump has been lower expectations for him and raising for hillary clinton. she has a bar much higher than his. if he plays to withdraw it's basically a win for him, one of the tactics expecting to employ giving glancing nod to question and answering the question that you really wanted to get. he would likely point to the fact that this morning he got the endorsement of the 5,000 union members in the immigration and customs enforcement department, the first time that they have ever endorsed a candidate and the fact that he's coming out with a new white paper today that details economy, 3.5% growth, to create new jobs, suggesting he might pull out of the world trade organization in order to help american companies sell more things overseas, basically harris, that is he is a president with level the p

this is a new habit for hillary clinton. she hasn't done that in the past, there's 276 days all the sudden she's now had two. it seems, extended encounters with her traveling press, but the focus here is going to be national security. this is the city where sentcom is based. they're up with a new add, focussing on national security. it's kind of the same theme as we've seen from her on her role models ad where you saw kids kind of watching things donald trump had to say, the focus instead now on national security issues. also her super pac up on that same kind of wavelength with a tough new ad that echoes that famous dazely ad that showed a mushroom cloud. this is something that she and her allies are going to focus on over the course of her next of couples. that is ahead of our commander in chief forum coming up tomorrow night, hallie. >> thanks so much. rolling with those technical difficult distance out of the field. kristen welker, we're looking at the fbi summary and there's no developments on this frt, walk us through

hillary clinton has come under a lot of fire. you heard bill clinton responding to it right there, transparency and accounting for it over the years. why isn't it fair to ask about donald trump and his foundation and the fact he hasn't given money to it since 2008 and where the money's coming from? >> it's a totally fair question. don't know whether the clintons last game money to their foundation -- >> it's in the tax returns. parent of their 2015 tax returns. that answer is answerable because they released them. >> my issue is there's an attempt to drive a false moral equivalency between the actions of the clinton foundation and the actions of trump through his foundation. there isn't. the clintons foundation has acted to advance the interest of foreign nationals, including saudi arabia, bahrain, places that really, you know, suppress people of lgbt rights and women's rights -- >> sorry, sorry, they have taken money from them. >> yes. >> you say they worked to advance the interest of them. where's the proof the clinton foundati

hillary clinton leads donald trump 41 to 40. and head-to-head trump wipes out clinton's 10-point lead in august. and in the state of ohio, donald trump lets clinton 42 to 39. and virginia, hillary clinton's lead shrinking to 40 percent to trump's 37 percent. >> new reaction coming up this hour. and what they think about the latest poll and whether donald trump put his long- time birther theory to bed. and we want to hear from you on this, do you think the birther issue is important enough to warrant the attention in the campaign? our live chat is up and running and all you have to do is go to foxnews.com/happeningnow to join the conversation. py. a high intensity tens device that uses technology once only in doctors' offices. for deep penetrating relief at the source. new aleve direct therapy. youthat's why you drink ensure. sidelined. with 9 grams of protein and 26 vitamins and minerals. for the strength and energy to get back to doing... ...what you love. ensure. always be you. the can-am defender?h effort into engineering bec

hillary clinton still hasn't apologized to those she slandered. in fact, she hasn't backed down at all. she's doubled down on her campaign conspiracy and contempt. if hillary clinton will not retract her comments in full, i don't see how she can credibly campaign any further. let's be clear. these were not offhand comments from hillary clinton. these were straight remarks, not at all. they were given also in an interview. and probably a number of interviews. these were lengthy, planned, prepared remarks. it was perhaps the most explicit attack on the american voter ever spoken by a major party presidential nominee. total disrespect for the people of our country. clinton is using a deliberate page from the democratic playbook. smearing someone with one of the names. those names in order to scare -- and i mean try and seriously scare them out of voting for change. we're bringing change. she can't bring change. she's been doing this for 45 years. she now talks about change. there's no change. four more years of barack obama only worse. she just took

hillary clinton's doctor writing in -- hillary clinton did faint a few days ago because of the pneumonia, she does have a history of blood clots, she suffered a concussion, the question is, is her doctor addressing that? and do we know the mix of medications that she's taking? we're going to get into this right now. i'd like to bring in gop strategist gianno caldwell and julie roginsky. gianno, i'm counting four medications, she's taking a thyroid medication, taking coumadin for blood thinner, clarinex, i know you're not a medical doctor. i understand that. do you think you're satisfied or the viewers should be satisfied. doesn't seem it's addressed she's taking a mix of medications that could have caused the dehydration and the collapse, what do you think? >> no, i don't think we should be satisfied. we need a comprehensive view of medical records. this isn't something we should look at how she is just today. we need to see over the past five years what has she been doing? what has led up to the issues we've seen which may not correlate to things in the medical report currently. i think

hillary clinton has. what people also don't know is the added advantage hillary clinton has is she's a woman. donald trump has never been on stage with a woman standing toe-to-toe and tell him he's wrong and have more depth on domestic policy than he does. can he's going to be so far out of water that he's going to be uncomfortable. i don't think do well in the first one. maybe after. >> except the lady in the church. >> that was telling. >> there's a new poll saying three points ahead in florida. how did trump turn this around? >> he stayed on message. the theme to the segment was the insult comic routine. of he's donald trump that be sticking to the script. hillary clinton has been talking about the basket of deplorables. her numbers have suffered because of it. i think donald trump should continue what he's doing. the electoral college, not just the national numbers is getting better for trump by the day. i say keep doing what you're doing. >> there's a new poll that shows donald trump ahead of hillary

hillary clinton and donald trump tied at 42%. gary johnson the libertarian, jill stein the green party candidate. we've seen a number of national polls that have tightened like this in the last week or so. also that question of health that came to the fore as a result of what happened on sunday, this came out yesterday. this is the first measurement we had of people's reaction to what they saw, to what they read, to what they heard on sunday and afterward from hillary clinton. asking voters, just what is your own perception of the health of these candidates? and you can see in the wake of what happened sunday, donald trump getting better marks there. this is just the assessment of voters from afar. this is what they think when they see these candidates generally through television, through the media. this is their own assessment. it raised that question, though, of disclosure from hillary clinton, and she just addressed this in the speech we just heard. she talked about how she's been better at the service part than the public pa

hillary clinton is not very good at talking the heart. i think that she faces a bigger challenge in how she handles him than how he handles a woman candidate. >> gentlemen, i want to show you this internal metrics today. >> also, that same aspect applied to hillary clinton via twitter for winning the nomination but negative headlines for the health ascare and the fbi headlines. let me ask you, who serves better tonight delivering a zinger or an aspiration remark for folks like you talking on the radio tomorrow? >> the debate will actually decided after a massive fall in the last hour within the first 30 minutes of the blue mark twitter account begins to render their verdicts and under scores certain matter like the rubio and krischristie exchange. he referred to mr. putin as a small and bullying leader in russia and he referred to him as graciousness. he had some many lines and people can read it that telegraphed that donald trump is gointo be just the perfect gentleman this evening, absolutely confounding and everyone in the armada in th

blaming hillary clinton. if you're a clinton supporter, i don't think she lost any support to donald trump. she has to win some people back from the libertarian party, and there's a swath of people that are undecided. i think on the birther issue, denying climate change on the women's issues, to jake's point, he took the bait on some of the issues, the clinton campaign believes will help them with independent and soft moderate republicans who they hope to pick up in the suburbs. at the beginning of the debate, trump came in, he wanted to make the case, she can't solve these problems. as it went on and she was using his own words against him. learning the lessons of all that videotape she watched. she watched all the video of the republican primary, when you quote his words back to him he gets scornful. he took the debate on the attacks. >> he was strong in the beginning when he was talking about trade deals. he seemed like somebody that cared about the issue, he named states that had hurt the neighborhoods, h

. >> hillary clinton is running a policy-free campaign. she offers no ideas, no solutions, and only hatred and derision. whether you vote for me or whether you vote for someone else, i will be still your greatest champion. >> and rolls out some new policy of his own, calling for an expanded child care subsidy for couples earning less than half a million dollars per year as well as guaranteeing maternity leave for new mothers whose employers don't provide it by offering six weeks of unemployment insurance benefits. clinton's campaign is arguing trump is the one with a negative view of americans releasing an ad highlighting some of trump's most controversial criticisms. >> how stupid are the people of the country? we're building a wall. he is a mexican. you got to see this guy. i don't know what i said. i don't remember! >> clinton's camp seizing on this mike pence interview with wolf as another signal the trump campaign is fostering intolerance. >> donald trump has denounced david duke repeatedly. we don't want his support and we don't want

we need to hear from hillary clinton. i know you have noticed it over the years, sited one change that politicians whether they are republicanors democrats are never honest about and that is their health. woodrow wilson had a district and his wife ran the government and they never told us that and john f. kennedy has all these problems. >> and catherine rampell on the question of how much the issue is fair game given we are in the home stretch of a general election and whether also it will listened itself to those who want to exaggerate the health failings? >> i don't understand why a cough has been such a big deal. people get sick, i can imagine that the campaign trail has been a very exhausting experience. the fact that she has pneumonia which her doctor said now, actually, makes it more impressive she has been able to have as much stamina to use the word of art, and i have had pneumonia and i am sure i would not have been able to withstand that. i don't understand why having ascofer pneumonia is the critical concern fo

hillary clinton's campaign first raised the issue. he picked this up from hillary clinton when she was -- physically -- >> the final word. >> okay. >> can you commit to your candidate saying within the next 24 hours that president obama is a legitimate president? >> you say -- >> he has said it already. and the fact is. >> no he has not. >> that is an issue that was originally introduced by hillary clinton. >> you are wrong -- >> every once in a while i am. but the fact is he did. >> i think you're wrong. >> but the point is that hillary clinton's campaign is the first one to do it. because all she does is engage in negative campaigning. against barack obama and against donald trump. her only -- >> she has never said that. and your candidate has on numerous occasions, and i'm asking you on the final word, we'll end it back and forth. can you say that donald trump was wrong saying the president was born in another country? can you say that? >> i believe he picked up on what hillary clinton's campaign said. he pushed obama, obama finall

it's a 20-point lead over hillary clinton. that is a determining factor because what we know is republicans and democrats are going to break and right now donald trump is getting about 90% -- >> my question is what's the disconnect. the people find her more trustworthy as her but if you look at the facts, he doesn't speak the truth as much as -- >> we continuously hear all the e-mails weren't turned over, we see the people according to this poll don't believe she handled the issue of the e-mails well. 80% of the people said that goes right to her trustworthiness. >> thank you. now that you answered my question -- >> the second point is when you look at the married women that donald trump has an 18-point lead in, that's a very important number. you see a gender gap. the general gender gap is that donald trump does much better with men and hillary clinton does much better with women. donald trump is now winning the married women. that's a big differentiator. >> he's also struggling with wi women, especially educated women. >> de

hillary clinton and jim clinton have given through the bill and hillary foundation, $22.5 million since 2001. donald trump is a very wealthy millionaire. we know he's a millionionary and the fact we can't point to the charitable organizations he's given is a problem. >> i can do it. >> bakari, if i may -- >> these problems go on, and on, and on i've seen the checks. >> the celebrity apprentice. i was the head of trump productions. >> you're the only one. >> celebrity apprentice raised tens of millions of dollars for charity. >> donald trump -- donald trump. >> he was -- he was the executive producer and co-owner of the show. >> andy, from his personal -- >> donald trump, his personal -- >> -- account. what mike peps sance said. >> he's also given through -- okay, bakari -- >> you would solve this investigation that every news investigation network has been doing if you can show us the receipts we'd love to see them. >> show us the receipts. i know who does his tax returns. i can tell you very quickly. >> he's a -- i will tell you hold on, he's a multibillionaire, according to forbes and

at times hillary clinton did seem that way. that was brought up during the debate. >> i think donald just criticized me for preparing for this debate. and yes, i did. you know what else i prepared for? i prepared to be president. i think that's a good thing. >> obviously, that was a line hillary clinton could not wait to deliver. she also had another phrase, trickle down trump economics, something like that. >> next pop hit. >> next pop hit. so todd, how would you grade hillary clinton? >> well, as far as like her persona on stage, i kind of rated it as a "b" minus. she was prepared. she was so prepared in fact i think she forgot the key ingredient. she needs to bring a conversational quality. she needs to seem a little bit more human. my example of where that went a little built wrong is frankly you wouldn't act like that, nor would i, if we were being interrupted as much as she was. not once did she stop -- it's natural for you to stop and just look at the other person. i wanted her one time to look at donald trump and say st

what about hillary clinton? still under fire the clinton foundation connections and handling of classified material. >> i take classification seriously. in fact, i couldn't remember certain meetings, whether or not they had occurred, doesn't in any way affect the commitment that i had, and still have. to the treatment of chas filed material. >> joining me, susan del percent oand a progressive advocacy group. thank you both for joining me. susan, i'll start with you here. obviously, we could make a list of questions that both of these campaigns have that are still outstanding at this point. the enthusiasm or lack thereof of that could potentially impact this race, where people on both sides stay home. that's a part of this conversation now. >> it's a tremendous part of the conversation. especially when you start looking at swing states. where voter turnout is going to be key. we have seen some tightening in the polls. the most recent, the cnn poll. what's interesting there is that 48% of trump voters are very ent

hillary clinton is the ultimate washington insider. and donald trump is the ultimate outsider, and this is a year where people are looking for major change, and he's the only one that brings that. >> angela, is he a better campaigner for hillary clinton than she is for herself. >> absolutely. i want to go back briefly to something sayre are mentioned. donald trump is absolutely not the ultimate outsider. he's so on the outside he's willing to use trump foundation politician to support a campaign. he is an insider. he's talked about for years how he uses his money, his riches, all of the wealth of being a billionaire to fund campaigns so he could pay to play. he's bragged about that for years. he is quite the insider. maybe not a washington insider, but one that certainly is cutting the corners of what the law says is the right thing to do. >> you said absolutely. why is that? >> we know president obama's approval rating right now is at 58%. folks often continue to say, oh, we don't want the third term of barack obama. i don't think tha

or hillary clinton directly. i think at this point, given the damage that that did, it didn't effect hillary clinton per se. but given the damage that that did, they have to be nervous about it. but, you know, look at who we are dealing with on the other side as charles says. >> when you hear hillary saying that about secrets, you realize that this election, this is the festival, this is an orgy of ironies, there is nothing that you see from six months ago that isn't a direct contradiction or sort of mocks what the current positions are. and it's going to get worse between now and november. >> she should have stayed away from the emails. >> bumper sticker and orgy of irony. >> i'm not putting that on my car, charles. >> it was working for me. >> that's it for the panel. stay tuned. it took an act of congress but a female world war ii pilot has finally been laid to rest at >>> finally tonight, elaine harman died at the age of 8 a. she made arrangements to be laid to rest at argueton testimony. today that happened.

hillary clinton leading small but leading in florida. hillary clinton leading in a small margin. a four-point lead in ohio. wisconsin down to 3. democratics would like it to be more. z still, that is lead. best news for wisconsin, the best news right now is right here. he is in a tie. nevada also, hillary clinton a smaller lead than president obama had but still a lead. keep that in mind. all of those battleground states. you can't point to a single one right now. these are states you have got to be flipping. she is up double digits in new hampshire. bottom line, heading into the home stretch. look how low he is. trump would have to run the table to get to 270. he need as shake s a shake up t path to the white house. i am joined by amy and hue hue hewist. what is the single most important thing he needs to do? >> there needs to be a shake up. i think it does come down pennsylvania in the end. luckily today -- and i know you're coming to this later in the program, there was a saturday night massacre and september 20 a narrative of the reputation on hillary clinton and e-mails. it

just 21% for hillary clinton. of course, with the news in charlotte this week, the news in tulsa, the issues of race and policing, likely to come up in this debate. that number probably worth keeping in mind, as well. so some of the numbers to have in your heads as we head to the debate. right now, we're going to head over to the "hardball" roundtable. mckay coppins, a senior political writer with buzz feed. jeanne skein -- zano, a national political reporter for bloomberg. and i've been too slow walking over here, so i'll keep talking as i climb the stage, take my seat, and say hello, mckay coppins. all those numbers we just ran through there. is it realistic to think after 90 minutes of debate on monday night against hillary clinton, that that number of people who say he's not qualified to be president, that that falls? that the number of people who say he's a racist, that that falls. can he make progress on monday night? >> he might be able to chip away on the margins. look, when half of voters, 50% say the can

hillary clinton, bloomberg did a great report how bill and hillary clinton organized their income around the death tack. she wants to raise your death tax and everybody else's death tax but organized their life to legally not pay as much in death taxes as they otherwise would. so she's a hypocrite. she organizes her life around not paying taxes. remember the first article with her and bill she was turning in his underwear when he was governor and getting a tax credit. she was active in keeping taxes down, she voted every time she had the chance to make yours go up. if i was her, i'd always try to make the comments because she can't stand being looked at with her own hypocritical policies of she should pay less in taxes, you should pay more. liz: hillary makes it sound illegal, even i think tim cook at apple said it's not patriotic to pay ever-increasing taxes, correct? >> correct. people pay what they owe. even when i think taxes are too high, people pay legally what they are required to pay, and then you argue politically to reduce the tax burden for all americans. hillary clinton and h

hillary clinton should stay on it. julie: i disayee with this premise. >> african-american, which is why he said she started it. harris: wait, wait i have to get here in this question. the "birther" issue was brought up about ted cruz. he is canadian. let me finish. why is it racist with barack obama and not with ted cruz? why does it get to that point when you brought up the same, not you personally, but i mean when the same issue was brought up in the primaries about ted cruz being canadian? >> that is what i was saying. when they keep saying bigoted, when he says in that statement, doubling down on his bigoted statement, why is it bigoted? he challenging whether he was born in the u.s. he challenged ted cruz could run for president. that is not bigoted. harris: julie, take it away. julie: ted cruz is born in the united states, he was born in canada. whether eligible to run in united states is an shirk. first african-american president is challenged, because it was barack hussein obama obama. why dud choose barack ob

. >> keith let's talk about hillary clinton, there's a lot of talk about hillary clinton and her facial expression, many people calling it a smirk. what did i reyou read into it? >> she seems very drolled contrt coming up with canned answers, at controlling her face, at trying to smile. it looks a little contrived, but it doesn't look bad. at the same time, trump looks authentic. he may look a little bit unhinged at times but he looks like he's saying what he thinks. >> i think that's a pretty good read, what most of us have been hearing from the people who watched last night. you also wrote an article, keith, called hey, hillary clinton, here's how to debate a narcissist and you talk about the bright and dark side of narcissism in leaders. did we see that last night? >> i did. you see donald trump's defensiveness and that's that sort of dark side where you let your ego get in the way of maybe the best decisions you could make. at the same time, he had some moments when he was talking about jobs leaving the midwest, where he seemed more passionate, more engaged, and that sort of brighte

hillary clinton versus donald trump. first female nominee of major party going up against one of the most unconventional white house contenders in history. we're live with "outfront" outside new york city which of course is the home base of boast of the nominees. it is local for both of them tonight. senator bernie sanders is the last person who debated hillary clinton. he joins us from vermont. senator, thank you very much for being with us. >> my pleasure. >> you know what it is like to stand on a debate stage with hillary clinton one-on-one. what -- what do you say, what was the hardest part about debating her? >> well, i think the hardest part is understanding that despite what the media may think, this is not a night of entertainment. it's not a super bowl. it's not the world series. tonight, the american people are going to be looking at somebody who will have enormous power in influencing the direction of our country, 320 million people, and the rest of the world. and i hope that we focus on the issues. the differ

so what is hillary clinton saying? >> well, wolf, she does not right now have to address any of her own vulnerabilities that please the clinton campaign. they're more than happy to keep talking about alicia machado a story line they think resonates with women and hispanic voters and one senior clinton aid said they are capitalizing on this that donald trump can't seem to avoid going down a rabbit hole. [ cheers and applause ] >> hillary clinton taunting donald trump after he went on an early morning twitter tie rarad. >> i mean really, who gets up at 3:00 in the morning to engage in a twitter attack against a former miss universe? why does he do things like that? >> i mean his latest twitter melt down is unhinged, even for him. >> clinton is campaigning today in florida home to 29 electoral votes. >> there are 39 days between now and november 8th. just 39 days left in the most important election in our lifetimes. we have to make every single day count. >> the race there has been tight. but clinton's debate performance

what does hillary clinton do? does she try to prod him, provoke him, or try to be more presidential than him on that stage? >> well, i'm sure there will be some element of trying to play his words back to him and see how he responds. i'm sure there will be some element of drawing out and calling him out on the lies he's told in the past. i bet you there will be some kind of debate bingo card, which lists the top ten donald trump lies like, you know, he opposed the war in iraq or opposed going into libya. but what this is really for her is a chance in an unfiltered way to talk to people and say why she is going to fight for them. what is in her heart, to come across, and i think rick is right about this, to come across in a way that counters the impression that the right has tried to build up about her, that she's not likable, but that she really is. she's got a sense of humor. everyone knows she knows the policy, but she has a chance to speak directly to people about why she's going to fight for them and why she i

matt lauer certainly was interrupting hillary clinton more. but when you're in the situation -- i mean, you know the situation, don. sometimes you do have to interrupt. but did he interrupt her more than trump? absolutely. did trump do pretty well? has he momentum continued? yes. does he have problems in the battleground states? absolutely. he's got a long way to go in some of these states. >> i don't think it's about who interrupted who the most. because if you are not telling the truth or not answering a question directly, then you deserve to be interrupted at that point to either stay on track or be reminded that you're not telling the truth. >> that's absolutely right. and i do think it's going to be very challenging for the moderators and these -- but that goes with the territory. as you said, when they're saying something wrong and i think if trump just said listen, okay, i said that thing on howard stearn but then soon thereafter i was against the iraq war, okay, that's fine, but he's not saying that. >> you just broke in the war about

hillary clinton: i'm hillary clinton and i approve this message. vo: in times of crisis america depends on steady leadership. donald trump: "knock the crap out of them, would you? seriously..."vo: clear thinking... donald trump: "i know more about isis than the generals do, believe me." vo: and calm judgment. donald trump: "and you can tell them to go fu_k themselves." vo: because all it takes is one wrong move. donald trump audio only: "i would bomb the sh_t out of them." vo: just one. did you know people can save over $500 when they switch to progressive? did you brush your hair today? yes, mom. why? hmm. no reason. >>> brand new poll numbers out this morning that show a much, much different race. hillary clinton is trailing donald trump by 20 points. and on the question of who is more honest and trustworthy, hillary clinton trails by 15 points. >> here to discuss hillary clinton's deputy communications director, christikristina schak. thanks for coming in. >> thanks for having me. >> good news for donald trump, which means can't be great news fo

i've known hillary clinton. she's always been extremely truthful, but when you have that kind of reputation and you hold something back it plays into that. both candidates are distrusted by the public and both have high negative marks. most votes will be against the candidate, not for a candidate, that's why we have this electile disfunction. we don't want to be in a democracy people are voting negative, not positive. >> when you want to be the leader of the free world, kerstin how much privacy are you entitled to? >> well, i don't know how -- i don't know how much you should be entitled to, but i know how much you should expect and it should be exactly none because people really do want to know as much as they can possibly know about you so the idea that you have for example donald trump not releasing his taxes, continuing to make claims about the fact he's given away all of this money with no evidence to back it up we don't know about the relationships that he has with people, in terms of business relationship

hillary clinton is again the reset originator. because, what the russians are doing. another chlorine attack this week. they have perpetually carried out these attacks since the red line was drawn in 2013. every time it happens the russians use it as a pivot to point to say to all of the different actors in the region whether iran or those upset over the iran deal you can't trust the united states. and hillary clinton the difficulty is that donald trump doesn't necessarily want to articulate that point of view. if he did, i think she would be very vulnerable. >> right. to that end, president obama has conceded that that decision not to move forward and the red line was a tough one for him. he may have made a mistake. in the end he thought that he made the right call. in that atlantic interview he did with jeff goltdberg. >> yeah. he believes that the ends justified the means in that decision-making process that he was able to succeed in getting chemical weapons out of syria. there are questions about whether that actually was a success. but that is what the administra

hillary clinton cannot. and it's because of her views on the american people, which are deple completely condescending. >> this phrase of basket of deplorables, with this stay with the campaign? >> well, i would expect the donald trump people to use it and donald trump himself probably will. i think her mistake was in using the word half. there are deplorable people in this campaign, i have seen them on twitter and other places. you can't hide the white nationalist that is a part of this. however, it's wrong to generalize and characterize what will be at least the low 40s, maybe higher than that, of the american public. we don't want to do that. so i think it was an exaggeration she'll probably want to avoid in the future. >> but let me read -- >> victor, kellyanne conway, now the campaign manager said earlier this year that trump supporters were downright sleazy. that's his campaign manager. >> hold on a second, let me read the full statement from the trump campaign on hillary clinton's remarks. and i just

so, the margin by which hillary clinton -- the number of sanders holdouts for hillary clinton -- that is larger than her margin in these states. it could make a difference if consolodate them. >> we have seen michelle obama and hillary clinton in new hampshire. how much progress is the clinton campaign making with these voters? >> what they call the sanders holdouts went from 20% of millennials to 15% of millennials from july to august. but the fact that they are still doing this as we approach october is a surprise, suggesting that they have worked to do. they did not expect -- they might be forced to go to a hard left message to appeal to what they thought was a core part of the democratic coalition. >> thank you for doing this segment. ♪ >> what is the deal with all of that sniffing donald trump was doing? our producers have been assessing with that and we think that they found the answer. >> what was all of that sniffing? >> maybe it is the weather. >> it was definitely sniffing. >> sniffing, what do you mean? >> sniffing, with his nose. >> he probably had a cold. what are you s
