but apparently, that is not >> i don't know if that's his going to happen. rationale. i think he's focusing on what the plan, we're expecting to americans need. and if there's a path to move hear from the white house later today, is that the force in forward, also he can do it. we've all talked about the fact afghanistan, around 9800 he's had an incredible tragedy. military personnel, expected to that's a lot. campaigning, going across the stay there through 2016. country, you're on the trail, and then in 2017. meeting with people every day. around the time president obama is leaving office, down to just it's exhausting. you're not with your family as much. i think there's an open issue. about half of that. there were a lot of issues that a number of reasons for that weren't brought up. including the training and they barely talked about what obama accomplished. he was a big part of getting equipping of friendly forces on the ground in afghanistan. over the great recession. i think he can bring that perspective. all right. nato forces there in that you've done this, now, let's fix country, as well as simply the this system like bernie sanders threat that we've seen seen more says, like hillary clinton and the rest on the stage say, and more of the taliban in except i have the experience to really make this happen. afghanistan raising its head, as >> well, if he gets in, we know it were, in that country. that announcement expected to come from the white house, you should be a major part of his campaign. sometime today. thank you for being on "new this is a big reversal for the day." let's get over to michaela. white house. you're going to hear from a but it say tacit admission that woman who knows donald trump the mission is not finished in better than most. his daughter ivanka. afghanistan. back to you. >> not finished. she speaks exclusively to cnn

that's putting it gently, joe, about her dad's ambitions. her own passions and what it's isn't it? we'll have to hear what the like having a daughter like tfa mission actually is and what it will cost in blood and fresh of the united states. donald. the benghazi commission, the provocation is whether or not it's a political setup, right? because we're changing. big things. a second republican senator small things. said, yes, benghazi was set up spur of the moment things. to go after hillary clinton. is it a revelation, just a week before hillary clinton is expected to testify before that changes you'll notice. panel. wherever you are in the world. sumlin, why would a republican sheraton. congress person say this? >> well, that's exactly correct, chris. what the clinton campaign is if i wanhello.o up... highlighting this morning. or if i want to go down... they really wasted no time to no. jump right in there and really but then if i want to come back again... yes. it's perfect. my favorite part is to be able to lift your legs up a capitalize on these comments. little bit and it feels like i'm just cradled. thee these new comments from congressman richard hanna of (vo) change your sleep, change your life, new york. change to tempur-pedic. here's first what he said in a radio interview. >> i think that there was a big part of this investigation that was designed to go after people. and an individual, hillary

clinton. and i think there's also a lot of that's important that we needed to get to the bottom of this. but this has been the longest investigation, longer than watergate. >> now, the clinton campaign already responding, saying that they believe, in their words, this is further proof that the benghazi committee, they say, rightabreva can heal itold sore, in as few as two and a half days has azero credibility. when used at the first sign. without it the virus spreads it was representative kevin from cell to cell. mccarthy's original comments only abreva penetrates deep about the benghazi committee that set off the firestorm when and starts to work immediately he insinuated that the to block the virus and protect healthy cells. committee's main goal was to you could heal your cold sore, fast, sink clinton's poll numbers here's what he originally said. as fast as two and a half days when used at the first sign. >> everybody thought hillary clinton was unbeatable, right? learn how abreva starts to work but we put together a benghazi immediately at abreva.com don't tough it out, special committee. a select committee, what are her knock it out, fast. with abreva. numbers today? her numbers are dropping. why? because she's untrustable. with their airline credit card miles. but no one would have known any sometimes those seats cost a ridiculous number of miles... of that had happened had we -- or there's a fee to use them. >> i agree. >> now, that certainly sets the

stage for what will likely be a i know. it's so frustrating. very fiery testimony by they'd be a lot happier with the capital one venture card. secretary clinton next week. one week from today. and you would, too! on capitol hill. why? it's so easy with venture. and she's already given big you earn unlimited double miles hints about how she intends to on every purchase, every day. really bring that line of attack just book any flight you want against the committee herself in then use your miles to cover the cost. the debate. saying she believes it is an arm now, that's more like it. of the republican national what's in your wallet? committee. mika'chael michaela. >> you can bet she's prepping for that. sumlin, thank you so much. we have donald trump back on the attack and on a roll in the latest rnc poll. the gop front-runner targeting democrats and republicans in a raucous campaign event in richmond, virginia. he has opened double-digit leads over ben carson in two key states. athena jones joins us live from washington with all the campaign highlights. good morning to you, athena. >> good morning. raucous event indeed. while trump was targeting protesters were targeting him. we've seen him almost since the

moment he launched his campaign. a climate change protester briefly interrupted his speech, but the latest protests went farther. >> reporter: what start out as the standard chanting and fanfare for donald trump -- >> that's okay. >> reporter: -- quickly turned heated wednesday night. with nearly 20 protesters shouting dump trump. >> that's why we have freedom of speech, folks, you know. >> reporter: one protester getting into an altercation with a trump supporter. while being escorted out before a crowd of nearly 5,000. the protesters against his "a wall will fix it" stance on illegal immigration. a stance he reiterated while lambasting the debate. >> hillary and bernie sanders they couldn't just give things away fast enough and they're giving it to illegal immigrants. >> reporter: trump suggesting hillary clinton and bernie

sanders far too easy on undocumented immigrants. tough news to hear. no one is going home. >> they want health care and that is the hard reality drivers licenses for illegal president obama will tell you immigrants. u.s. fighting men and women in i call them a afghanistan. socialist/communist, because that's what he is. and their families. >> reporter: this as new polls there will be a second delay in show trump still out front, and the drawdown of some 9800 troops with a possible challenge looming. committing the u.s. to at least he leads ben carson by double 2016 to try to stop the taliban. digits in south carolina and the president had said troops nevada. would be pulled out. in the new cnn roc poll but he but it seems the political pressure to keep u.s. troops out and his chief rival are neck and of foreign conflicts is fading. neck in the new fox news poll. donald trump interrupted by at least the third poll in weeks protesters at a raucous campaign event in richmond, virginia. that shows carson edging closer. but he was able to speak an >> kept fall ago leap. slant democratic rival hillary >> reporter: carson making his own inside remarks about clinton and bernie sanders for, tuesday's debate. >> when people come around and quote, giving things away, start talking about free college especially to illegal and free phones and free this immigrants. and that, it is not free. the republican also called sanders a socialist/communist. unless you're not very bright, you'll be able to see what's it reveals trump has a going on. >> so carson not holding back double-digit lead in south there. meanwhile, jeb bush plans to carolina. former nba star lamar odom release his third quarter on life support this morning.

fundraising numbers. his 2014 tax return and his police say he had been using health record today. cocaine before being found alisyn, chris. >> thanks for that. unconscious. according to employees at a joining us is cnn commentator nevada broth many where he was and political anchor of new york staying he was taking a national one errol lewis. herb to increase sexual performance. a source close to the family and ty conway. tells cnn she is now in charge errol, let's just talk about of the medical decisions. what he said about the benghazi growing up trump. committee. it's so off-message. wading into the perilous listen to this. >> sometimes, the biggest thing political waters, to talk about what it's like to have the you can commit in d.c. is to tell the truth. donald as a dad. how does the daughter see the >> yeah. father? next. >> you know, this may not be politically correct, but i think there was a big part of this i'm hacking your company. investigation that was designed grabbing your data. stealing your customers' secrets. to go after people and an individual, hillary clinton. there's an army of us. >> what is he doing, errol? relentlessly unpicking your patchwork of security. >> he is telling the truth. and it becomes news. think you'll spot us? it becomes national news. ♪ let's remember back to when benghazi happened, i mean, when you haven't so far. it was completely unclear what the next wave of the internet

was going on, the republican requires the next wave of security. candidates for president rushed we're ready. are you? to the cameras and started making about chiizatimake making accusations. this is not news that a conservative part of the republican party thought this is should be at the administration in general and hillary clinton in general. >> so not wrong to do -- about treat us like we're disposable. the culpability involved, if replaceable. you're going to target the they think i'm worthless. situation, you're going to that we don't matter. target the person in charge of they cut our benefits cut our hours and force us into part-time jobs the situation. if errol louis is in charge, i and erratic schedules. they get big profits, we get left behind. we get left behind. say, i'm going after errol lewis. >> accountability means something. transparency, you're in charge of the state department. >> but it's spun like it's nefarious. is that a fair spin? >> what representative hanna said is much different than what we heard from mccarthy just a

few days in which he said he really they had sis is all about a political strategy, the investigation itself once it had started. i think what representative hanna says, as you suggest, initially at least, yes, this is supposed to get to the bottom of it and find out what was going on in the state department when this tragedy happened. >> big pivot seems to seek the duration. representative hanna has something that has been said a lot. this is longer than watergate. it seems repetitive. not as much about drilling down an just spreading the message of being wrong and mysterious, what do you make of it? >> i think you're right, chris. in terms this is longer than watergate. the leaks that we've seen coming out of the committee are not the types of things you normally see coming out of an investigative committee. in nick lar, the 9/11, but sort of the clearly politically motivated leaks, selectively edited e-mails linked.

and the commission by its own admission by many members including kevin mccarthy in a statement a couple weeks ago, this is no longer about the benghazi committee or the benghazi attack. it's about e-mails and one person, about hillary clinton and her close circle of base. it's about maintaining congress 'oversight. >> but they believe that there might be some information about benghazi on those e-mails. that's what first prompted them to want to see them. they thought perhaps there was some smoking gun or some instructions given about that. but of course, it has morphed into whether or not she broke the rules. what does all of this mean for next week when she testifies in front of the benghazi committee? >> well, we know it will be a media circus, as it always was. i think in this case, though, they've given former secretary clinton plenty of ammunition to fight back with. and she'll be able to talk to -- she'll be able to reference this statement. prior statements. she'll be able to reference the

whole thing about susan rice. this thing has sprawled very early on what word was used, who was briefed to say what on the sunday morning shows just a few days after the attack and so forth. once you get into that realm, it becomes clinton's sort of sweet spot. it's completely polarized and people will believe she's telling the truth or she's not without any reference to actual facts. and i think that's what we'll see play out in the hearing next week. >> zeke, let's talk about new polls, the new cnn rnc poll digestive core.r so choose ultimate flora by renewlife. talked about is how the it has 30 billion probiotic cultures. republicans are doing. feel lighter and more energized. trump is way ahead. ultimate flora. look at these two battleground more power to your gut. states. nevada and south carolina. trump has 38% to his closest runner-up, carson as 22%. that's in nevada. well, we have seen some south carolina, 36 to half of that, 18%. things, haven't we, donald trump zeke, what do you make of going from political novelty to trump's continued dominance? political contender. >> donald trump isn't going anywhere anytime soon. now, we're hearing from someone

even in the national polls he's who knows him not as the donald seemed to have slipped a little but as dad. bit giving ben carson more of an opening. poppy harlow joins us now. in those lower states a little more information than iowa and >> it was a fascinating new hampshire. discussion. voters are attuned and fewer look, we haven't heard from her since that podium in june and candidates in this. donald trump is still a introduced the world her father powerhouse in this race. you know, we saw him just as a political candidate. she talks about her business, yesterday in richmond as he showed earlier in the show. he's still the entertainer. her dad and the new business he's still able to make those empowering empowering women all controversial remarks, go after democrats, republicans. over the world. she said her father gave her her get his point across. and people like what they're moral compass. hearing. and she said the level of at least say are saying no to scrutiny is beyond anything she's experienced. the republican populist. >> we're at the most powerful women summit. and it's when does it stop and and michael cohen from the trump organization said to company it might not. >> i'm smiling, i've always felt employees, 53% men, 43% women. you pay pollsters to tell you but there are more female what you want to hear. executives than male within the it's a great business. trump organization. how can we see that translate errol, what i'm fascinated with right here, the qualification of across corporate america, so still not going anywhere soon, that more women are at the upper we've got to stop it with this. echelons? >> well, i think it's incredibly

the guy is a prohibitive favorite in the party. important. the only thing that's going to and i think companies who had aren't prioritizing, ensuring make him leave this race logically right now is his that women are at all levels decision to become the king of within the organization and that another country or something this disproportion of men versus like that. you know there is no reason to women and gender and equality, forecast any political demise to you know, anyone who is thinking in those terms and is not being a man who has shown complete very proactive to ensure that resilience to anything that should have knocked him out. there are company is being he's been in the lead for too thoughtful about the gerndz mix is simply going to fall behind. so i think it will be a long. he's like a one-trick pony or self-selecting thing. going to be gone, this is a huge i think in ten years from now, flash in the pan. that companies who had evolved and this is a huge flash. will not be the companies that >> there are reasons to think this will have an end, whether they are today. and, you know, i think my father recognized this a long time ago. it's coming sooner or not. i wouldn't be the person i am i said there's reason to today, i wouldn't have the believe. >> what would that end be, give ambition, the drive, the me a potential end, other than passion, the commitment to what his saying i'm losing too much it is that i'm doing both for money. >> there are a couple of ends. the trump organization and for one is, the voters, once they my own brand, if he hadn't start to vote, once you get encouraged me, emboldened me, closer to the primary date, given me the confidence that i we're about 109 days out. could do whatever it is that i at this psych until 2012, it was set my mind to accomplish.

not mitt romney in the lead, if i had the vision, the energy, gingrich was on the lead. the passion and the work ethic herman cain was on his way down. to match. so, i think, really, it's >> you do think it's apparent leadership -- leadership is with what we're see right now about action. leadership is about setting an with donald trump and ben example. and he's very much done that carson? within the context of the trump >> and the other issue, i went organization. back and looked at all 44 and that's why, you know, my brothers and i are -- are presidents, we've never elected equally at the same level, at someone who has ever never been the highest ranks within the elected or been a war hero in context of that company. >> you started women who work, those categories. >> we were saying those things it's an initiative you pushed to empower women at all levels to about president obama, also. >> yeah, but at least u.s. work and to follow their dreams. but pew found that an increasing senate history. when people go to the polls, amount of american women are it's usual to assume that staying home from 23% in 1999, somewhere between now and the next 100 out days, people are to 29% in 2000. going to say what is going to happen. >> errol, a lot of this, carson and some of that is in part due to rising child care costs. what's your message to these catching trump wait he is caste women? >> my campaign is about the fact of a mood and how that mood gets that women are working at all aspects of their life. translated over time is the big and i think there's a tendency question. >> zeke, errol, thank you for

the insight. to talk about working women. also stick around. later this hour, cnn's poppy there's a caricature of what that looks like. we're all working at different harlow sat down exclusively with donald trump's daughter ivanka. things. we all have different what she reveals about her priorities. and those priorities change through the course of their father and the controversial lives. comments about woman. my priorities today as a mother all of that is ahead. looking overseas, a series of two with one on the way are of attacks continue to grip the different than what they were. and will likely be different ten old city despite heightened years from now. i really want to create a brand security. the police locking down that will celebrate the fact palestinian neighborhoods encouraging civilians to take that women are multidimensional every precaution to defend that we're working really hard themselves, including carrying guns. at architecting lives that we there were several stabbing incidents wednesday. israeli police responded by want to live. and i do think there's this shooting and killing the alleged unfortunate and prevailing attackers. depiction of the working women israeli police are unable to as, know, wearing a black link the attackers to any unorganized groups leave pantsuit and being solely something experts to say they focused on her professional role. may be lone wolves. and that's just not true. some of the nation's biggest and hopefully, i can be a small part of changing the narrative airports are get back after this around what it looks like to be computer glitch. a woman who works today. let's go to rene marsh live in and that's the purpose of the campaign. washington with the latest. it's not to tell people they should work or they shouldn't this wasn't just about delays.

this was about security and work. >> right. >> it's not to push people in a terror, right? >> it certainly was. certain direction. it's to celebrate the fact that we're talking about two problems we're all figuring it out. for two department of homeland and we're all work very, very security system -- computer hard. i know, for example, i'm more systems, as you say, at airports exhausted on a monday morning across the country causing after a weekend home with the kids than i am on a friday delays for thousands and thousands of passengers, many of afternoon. i work really hard during the them stranded, still trying to week. >> yeah. >> and it's really about just get to their destination. enabling and supporting women some of the major airports affected, jfk, newark, reagan and architecting this ideal lives for themselves. >> your father points to you and dulles international here in the d.c. area. telling him that, quote, he's essentially passengers couldn't get through customs because the been really misunderstood on his views about women. he has said things about women computer systems and kiosks were down. that shocked people. the cdc are used to doing a very about carly fiorina, saying extensive check of passengers entering the united states. they were able to check whether looking at that face. there are any issues the last time the passenger came into the united states and are they about then megyn kelly, saying required to undergo secondary there was blood coming out of screening during entry. now, that outage of that system her wherever. also triggered problems for tsa what is your opinion of that? >> well look, my father is very secure flight system which

blunt, he's very direct. enables airlines to electronic he's not gender specific in his criticism of people. check passengers against a no ply list. and people that he doesn't particularly like or people that alisyn. also violence increasing in he does like, but thinks they're israel. we will speak to a top israeli wrong on a particular issue. so, you know, i don't think that official about what's going on on the ground. he's gender-targeted at all. like i said, i wouldn't be the person i am today. i wouldn't be a high level executive within this organization if he felt that the citi double cash® card. way. so he's always supported and it's a cash back win-win. encouraged women and truthfully, with 1% when you buy he's proven that over over and 1% as you pay. decades. with two ways to earn on purchases, through his employment practices. through his hiring practices. it makes a lot of other cards seem one-sided. >> what would a president trump do for women in this country? >> he'd be amazing. for women in this country. it's got the spring and bounce of a traditional mattress. he'd be incredible for women in you sink into it, but you can still move around. this country. and he's starting to articulate his positions. now that i have a tempur-flex, i can finally get a good night's sleep. it's not my place to articulate (vo) change your sleep. change your life. this for him. change to tempur-pedic. i'm not part of the campaign. while you're watching this, and i'm very busy. he's kept me very busy working i'm hacking your company. alongside my brother and running

the organization now that he's grabbing your data. taking the step in terms of his stealing your customers' secrets. efforts to try and make this country great again, as he says. there's an army of us. so, you know, i'll leave policy relentlessly unpicking your patchwork of security. to him. but i can speak from my vantage think you'll spot us? ♪ point as a child, and also from you haven't so far. my vantage point as a league and the next wave of the internet somebody who works for him. requires the next wave of security. he's been amazing parent. we're ready. are you? he's given me every opportunity to succeed. so you may take an omega-3 supplementortant... he's been loving and supportive. he's pushed me. ...but it's the ingredients inside he's corrected me. he's disciplined me. that really matter for heart health. bayer pro ultra omega-3 and i think as a parent now has two times the concentration of epa and dha myself, i appreciate how hard that is, more than ever before. as the leading omega-3 supplement. bayer pro ultra omega-3. when i was 15 or 16, i was a little less impressed by -- by how tough he was. and how strict he was. with us as children. as a parent now, i see just how hard it is to raise children with drive and with passion. and with energy who have a well-set moral compass. and he very much did that for me

in his role as a father. and then as an executive. i've seen what an unbelievable leader he is. he's the most formidable negotiator i've ever seen. and i've seen a lot of great to take their act to the next level... before earning 1% cash back everywhere, every time... negotiators. and he is also somebody who 2% back at the grocery store... really encourages people to achieve at their highest level. and 3% back on gas... he is -- he sets very high goals vince of the flying branzinos for everyone. who works for him. got a bankamericard cash rewards credit card, and who works with him. but really, he helps them raise because he may earn his living jumping through hoops, the bar for himself in terms of but he'd rather not earn cash back that way. what they want to accomplish. that's the spectacle of rewarding connections. >> what are your business goals or ivanka trump as a brand, as a apply online or at a bank of america near you. business? >> i have far-reaching goals. i think my goals are less specific and more general now. i want to continue to grow the trump organization footprint throughout the world. we have a hotel company, the trump hotel collection which i'm incredibly proud of which is now the fastest growing luxury hotel brand. we have many, very, very

exciting property openings in the year to come here in washington, d.c., with the old post office building. and iconic building right on pennsylvania avenue in rio de janeiro, vancouver, and many other others in the pipeline for years to come. i think the opportunity on the hotel side and real estate side is huge. and i almost don't want to limit myself by giving a specific goal. but the growth potential there decisions, decisions. the new edge+. is enormous. in terms of my own business, i this one would keep me organized. i could list all the days i've been really feel like it's in indifay banned from social media. hmmm, wait this thing has built-in live broadcasting? and i'm just getting started. i don't know what nerd came up with that, but it's awesome. you think they'd censor pippa's doggy-ola's? and i'm deeply proud of and censored, not censored. censored, not censored. looking forward to other opportunities in other categories and international markets to grow that brand. introducing the samsung galaxy s6 edge+ and the note5. of course, my most important priority, my family. is growing. and hopefully, will continue to grow. >> congratulation, you're five months' preg 3457b9?

>> i'm five months' pregnant with my third. it's an amazing time. and it's an exciting time for me and in my personal life as well. i feel incredibly blessed. incredibly fortunate that i'm so what i'm saying is that people who have -- who have pistols and who can walk around happy, personally and in the streets with weapons, no professionally. >> you are very good friends problem with that whatsoever. >> all right, now, you can look with chelsea clinton. at this two ways, you can look she gave a recent interview as the police spokesperson for israel, saying if you are saying i love ivanka, she said allowed to carry, now is a good both of your parents running in time to do it. or you can look at it as a the general election has not affected your friendship? how do you guys navigate that, general admonition, that israelis should start arming do you talk politics, kids? themselves because of the stabbing incidents that have >> it has not affected us. happened in jerusalem. i have great respect for her. it's a very provocative statement. let's get context and talk about she's been a great friend. i've been a great friend to her. it with mark rega, the spokesman our parents is not relevant to our friendship. >> i asked women here sat down for israel. with a group of them after the democratic debate last night, i would you like to go over what know you watched. the police spokesperson said and what did you make of the debate give it some context or is it and who do you think would be

what it sounds like? >> in israel, we have tough gun the most formidable candidate against your father in the rules and only people with polls? >> i thought the debate was licenses can have a firearm, so excellent. i thought the debate was if you pass those tests and you interesting to watch. legally have a firearm, the so, i enjoyed watching. police are suggesting that you like i said, i'm a business carry that firearm, because of person, not a politician. so i'll leave politics to other the security situation. that's not for every member of members of the family. and the many, many people who the public, that's for people who have those licenses. are involved in the race on both i remind you, chris, we, of course, have compulsory military sides. we'll see who emerges. service in israel. a lot of those people with >> ivanka trump, thank you very licenses if not all of them, much. >> thank you. >> poppy joins us now in studio. have had military training and know how to use that weapon he's quite a formidable young effectively. >> i guess the point of context is to make it make sense to woman. an expectant mother. i'm curious, the point of ears. as you well know, mr. regev, no interest for many, she knows her father in a different way than one loves their guns as americans do. the public knows him. but the idea saying to >> right. >> but i'm still struggling with civilians, arm yourselves, that's how big the threat is, understanding how she sees -- how she feels about how her that's how imminent violence is, seems to be, you know, a very severe sentiment. father's make something people how do you see it? in the female community, >> it's not arm yourself, it's latinos, they are struggling the part of the population, with the words that he's saying.

it wasn't just ivanka on television so was eric. i think soon enough you'll see don junior, all three children are exceptional individuals, and they are right now at the helm of the company. we're growing as a company. we have international deals all over. his popularity is not just in the united states but it translates to overseas as well. so, as it comes to children, their job is right now to run the company. not to run the campaign. he is a campaign manager. he has a big staff. many of which are volunteers, by the dozens. calling daily, asking how they can help to join the trump train. and he, again, he's protective of his children. >> so put them out, but be careful about how you put them out, don't have them making the argument for donald as much as sticking to their role in the company? >> yeah, i think mr. trump is very good at -- >> backing up what he says. >> all right. so, the debate, he didn't like

to. people liked it. they said the tone was different. it seemed like policies were getting out there. it wasn't all personal attacks. how did trump see it? >> i don't know how mr. trump saw it. we read about it in his feets which were absolutely amazing. a statistic came out the other day, mr. trump picked up 147,000-plus new twitter followers during the democratic debate. that's just an unheard of number. >> what does that mean to you? >> hillary picked up 25,000. i think what it means to me, the interest in donald trump, versus anybody else is six times that, right? i think a big portion of that 15 million viewership which is about half of what the republicans got is really due to mr. trump. >> you believe that people were watching the democratic debate because donald trump was tweeting tab? >> i do. >> what did you drink this morning? >> coffee, actually in your that was vice president joe green room. biden offering his two crepts on >> i think there are plenty of the first democratic debate. reasons they're watching. i think the interest in the

election is obviously sparked by what does that mean for his own donald trump. >> well, i found the debate to decision whether or not for his be very much like "house of own decision to get in? cards." is the window closing? i found it scripted. i didn't think there was joining us, a joe biden anything genuine about the supporter and a nonpartisan candidates, whether hillary or bernie. i thought her appearance, her investigation. great to see you. >> thank you. demeanor, her laughter, how she >> everyone is trying to read the tea leaves of what joe biden shook bernie sanders' hand, i is going to do. let's look at something else he thought it was all scripted. said, his response to the from the moment anderson cooper democratic debate and try to made his opening remark and parse his words. questioning, which he handled watch this next sound bite. very, very well. he asked her about flip-flopping, and she went on >> i was proud of, i thought, to a whole different topic. he said, that's a great answer. they all did well and you know except now tell me, please, what part of what has to be done, about the flip-flopping part of what has to be done is question. she was totally prepared to answer the questions that she we have to actually make the wanted to answer in the way she system work. you know, we got to make it wanted to. >> how is that different than work. >> okay, but he didn't say any other other politician? >> as to donald trump. "but." he said, you have to make the he's genuine, he says what's on system work. his mind. he's not scripted. that's different than i thought he's scripted only by himself. they were all fantastic and any

one of them would be a great not by pollsters that tell her choice? what's he saying there with that to say, you need to say this in added disclaimer of, we have to order to get past this. make the system work? you need to do this to apiece >> a debate that brought up on this group. that was anderson's question array of issues for the will you say whatever you want to say to whoever you need to democratic party for 2016. i think what joe biden say in order to get their vote. represents is they fixed the economy, now it's time to fix i found the answer to be yes and the system so it doesn't happen boring and script >> afterwards, the polls come again. out that show she had a strong there's a reason why barack performance, bernie had a strong obama chose joe biden. he wasn't secretary of state. performance. there are other polls coming out he was chosen as v.p. he was showing rump with a bigger lead there during the great in certain polls, certainly in recession. the states that matter. .president's ear. nevada being one of them. he was there while osama bin laden was taken down. >> but you're saying that he also, you know, carson continues could do something that hillary to gain. how do you see that. clinton and bernie sanders and the rest couldn't do? they couldn't be more different what would he bring that's individuals. different? but might they be representing >> it's an unique perspective coming from the white house. something similar to people. if he hadn't been in every trump, you could argue it all single situation where the president has had to make a day about why he's resonating. calculated decision, assigned legislation that has changed carson is a hard case for a lot americans' lives from lilly of people to make. yet, he continues to grow,

ledbetter to the economy. and that is an unique anti-establishment. >> simple as that. >> simple as that. perspective that no other person i think the american people and on that stage, whether they were the american class have had in the administration or not, whether in the senate or not, enough. they're there to take from this he's the only person that brings that perspective. country for themselves. they're not doing what they're >> when you hear him saying "but supposed to do. they're not representing the we have to make it work" did interest of the people, they're that tell you that he's going to representing, as far as i'm get in? concerned, their own interests. >> well, i hope so. he's going across the country. donald trump campaign bought. doing what he was doing before he's not taking money from he was first elected. anybody. he knows what he needs to do to he's talking to american families and finding about the make america great again. issues they're most concerned >> how do you look at these with. he's the most viable candidate at this point. numbers, trump when you're >> let me put up the latest poll polarizing you're going to have built-in negatives as well. for you to show where democrats are. clinton in the latest poll, carson, 46, 37% for trump. october 10th through 12th. gop voters would definitely vote hillary clinton gets 54%. for. in your mind, does this mean well, i don't know if this is that ben carson could likely be actually the number that i have. 45%. a likely better choice for the sanders gets 25. . and biden gets 19%. party than donald trump? >> i don't think so. and it doesn't look there as if >> why not? >> when you take a look at other the american electorate is polls, who's number one on clamoring for him to get in. immigration? donald trump. who's number one on the economy?

>> he's not running yesterday. donald trump. who is also in national security, isis, defeating isis, people have signed a pledge donald trump. >> but why is carson eating into saying they want joe bide ton run for president. his numbers, is he doing this is just organization on his something better than donald side. once the campaign starts, if it trump? >> i don't think so. he's a different type of person. starts, which we hope, i have no donald trump tells it the way it doubt he's pulling pretty well without being in the race. and you know, there was an ad is. >> how about dr. carson he that came out, i don't know if doesn't go after dr. carson? you saw this, but biden put up >> donald trump is a an ad during the debate. counterpuncher. ben carson does not go after >> during the debate. donald trump. >> so there was a poll afterwards, they had a focus group. of iowa democratic voters. donald trump will not go after half of the voters came out and ben carson. said they wanted joe biden to >> although he had said he looks run. >> what is likely hillary forward to going after him. what does that mean? clinton's response yesterday >> i don't think that means anything. he's leading the polls for four about whether or not she thought joe biden was going to get in. listen to this. months straight. >> i'm going to continue to run i don't know if that's been done my campaign. in history before. and make my case for my >> even reporters who have to respect, always saying still in candidacy. the lead. no sign yet of when he's getting and everyone else, whether they're in or they're not in, out. will have to make whatever very atypical rhetoric. judgment is best for them. >> how about if we call it >> look.

pundits and voters alike felt dishonest reporting. >> how about it's got to be that she turned in an impressive performance during the debate. real. >> how about even yesterday in and if there was -- if his virginia, he made it a point to rationale for getting in was her turn around and to say, look at the number of people here. it's a packed house. vulnerability, that's gone away. but yet, still some of the reporters said -- well, almost packed house. they just want to try to marge analize the guy. i don't understand why. he is the only one on both sides that ever created a job. he's the only one that really understands how to deal with a budget. he's also the only one that's going to say it the way it is that's not in the pocket of big lobbyists and big companies. he's going to do what's good for the middle class. >> never run for office before, it is a legitimate concern. he doesn't know how that process works. >> donald trump is an insanely smart guy. he'll figure that process out. he's been dealing with people his entire life. whether american politicians or foreign politicians. he will figure out how to work through washington better than

anybody. he'll also figure out how to reach to the other side of the aisle which is something that right now our current politicians -- >> that is certainly a struggle, although he's not been a uniter to this point. to be honest. >> he is a uniter. >> but he has not been in this race. for instance, bernie sanders has not gone after donald trump, true or false? >> true. >> that's not true. he has not made donald trump an issue. he doesn't want to say personal things. >> that's not true. >> now, he's going after bernie sanders? >> why, because he put out a video about black lives -- >> he called him a communist. >> he'll call himself a democrat socialist. >> you disagree with donald trump, he's going to talk to you on twitter. the question is, he's going after bernie sanders, does that mean he sees sanders as having not done well in the debate? >> i think he found the debate as i did, boring and not

interesting. again, as i said, it was a very scripted to me. it just seemed like "house of cards" episode. >> so you're saying you feel 100% now that donald trump is going to be the republican nominee? >> i think donald trump is going to be the next president of this country and actually that's what i hope. >> one step at a time. you believe these numbers are not a fluke? >> how's it a fluke? a couple months over hundred us and hundreds of polls the guy is leading. you pick one poll out that talks about ben carson at his heels. a fox poll with 1%. really? how about the other 60 and 70 that is showing. not just double-digit leads but how about over marco rubio and jeb bush who in his mind was -- he was the next nominee. >> right. >> by 30 points. what about those statistics? >> the polls are telling the story. you picked the source. fox news. you better be careful. you know they're out to get him

michael cohen, always great to have you. we have breaking news to report. there's a new delay in the drawdown of u.s. forces in afghanistan. president obama set to make a major announcement concerning troop levels. let's get to cnn's joe johns. he's live at the white house with the breaking details. what have you learned, joe? >> reporter: well, alisyn, this is an admission that there continues to be a problem in afghanistan, a terror threat problem. and the white house is going for the status quo, as it were to try to deal with that. the white house had hoped to draw down to about 1,000 folks by the time the president leaves office. but it appears that's not going to happen. what the white house is saying. today, we do expect to see the president some time today, talking about this. is that by the end of 2016, they will keep the 9800 military personnel in afghanistan that they've had there, drawing down to only about half of that in

2017. the white house, as i said, had hoped to have about 1,000 people there by the time the president leaves office. so what are those people who are going to stay in the country going to be doing? well, among those things includes rooting out the taliban and al qaeda, as well as training and equipping the friendly forces in afghanistan on the ground. the other issue, of course, is emergency that we saw in the northern city of kunduz. a problem if the taliban, for example, tries to take over the city. there will be more people there to help afghan forces. as i said, we do expect to hear from president obama sometime today, talking about this. it is a big reversal for this administration. but clear, they're not quite ready to claim victory in afghanistan yet. back to you, michaela. >> it will be tough news for a lot of families hoping to see their loved ones soon. joe, thank you. israeli police now

encouraging civilians to carry guns. this is heightened after security failed to stop the stabbings in that in the latest incident, israeli police shot and killed a man dressed in combat fatigues who allegedly lunged at them with a knife. erin mclaughlin is live there. >> hi, michaela, this is very much a city on edge. an example of the anxiety to this morning on board a train to haifa, a false alarm. a group of israeli soldiers thought they saw someone that looked suspicious. one of the soldiers fired his gun. the train was searched. nothing was found. it gives you a sense of how people are feeling this after yesterday's bloodshed two separate attacks one outside the damascus gate of the old city. the other outside of a central bus stop in jerusalem. in both attacks palestinian suspects shot dead by israeli forces. at least three israeli civilians were wounded. and this is in the face of

incredible security measures. more police out on the streets, israeli soldiers joining police patrols in israeli cities. and israeli citizens say they're carrying their guns. i want you to take a list ton what the spokesperson for the police had to say. >> the more israelis that are walking around with pistols, that is important that the members of the public can also respond and react. it is effective, every israeli walk around with a pistol has gone through years of idf training and therefore, there's no problem whatsoever. zbl. >> reporter: well, palestinians also saying they're scared, bracing for what could happen next. >> all right. we will be talking with former ambassador dennis ross about what the solutions might be there. meanwhile, russian president vladimir putin is blasting the obama administration for not working with him in syria, calling the move, quote, not constructive. this as u.s. and russian officials are working with each other on air safety.

tensions in israel and the palestinian territories escalating this morning after a number of stabbings and

attempted standings at israelis. israeli police now telling civilians to arm themselves. ambassador dennis ross joins us he's a former special assistant to president obama who advised on mideast processes a few times. he's also the author of "doomed to succeed" mr. ambassador, thank you for being in studio. can you tell me how we've gotten to this point of escalation of violence in israel? >> look, i think we've had a level of violence triggered by social media. all sorts of rurals are spreading quickly. all sorts of video, in fact going quickly. we do have one story, one narrative emerging on the palestinian side that the israelis are plans to divide the el oskar mosque.

>> so this is an erroneous rumor that this has sparked the violence? >> absolutely, it's one of the things that sparked. one of the way you respond is you've got to get the truth out that's simply not the truth. >> and it's so tough in this day of viral and internet, to figure out where the truth is? >> it is. also what's happening right now, the first fada. and second, it was developed and driven by organizations. and people carrying out attacks were in fact members of organizations, fatah or hamas or jihad. that's not true now. now you have individuals largely between the ages of 15 and 25. mostly, they're in the jerusalem area right now but not exclusively. so the question is, whether or not you can find a way to kourngt act the images on one

hand. and on the other, a way to get the contention away from where we are. >> there's been standings and attempted stabbings. and now the israeli government and the police force suggest organize even encouraging civilians to carry firearms. we just had mark regev on "new day" this morning. he's the israeli spokesperson. let me play what he said about that. >> sure. >> in israel, we have tough gun ownership rules. only people with licenses can have a firearm. so if you pass those tests and you legally have a firearm, the police is suggesting that you carry that firearm because of the security situation. that's not for every member of the public. that's for people who have those licenses. >> is that the right answer to have highly trained people carrying guns? >> well, i am not sure there's any one answer. i think there does have to be -- people have to feel secure. if they don't feel skushgs you're going to get backlash and overreaction and the thing truly spirals completely out of

control. on the other hand, it's very important that there be a cost for these kinds of attacks. there's also, i think, got to be a sense that there's a possibility that everything isn't just stuck between israelis and palestinians. i mean, part of what we're dealing with is an air reof refrustration. and you combine that of what is a calculated inexcitement. there is incitement going on. and it condemns none of the attacks that say they're planning to change the status quo. so you got to counter the incitement and how you deal with the violence. and people, if they're feel ago afraid for their daily lives, they're going to react. >> so, let's talk about the possible solutions. you know all too well how complicated it is to broker any middle east piece. secretary of state john kerry has offered to go there. let me play what he has said. >> over the weekend i was in

touch with benjamin netanyahu and president abbas, and we're working at calming things down. i will go there soon and try to work and see if we can't re-engage and move away from this precipice. >> look, your new book is how it is in history of trying to engage. can secretary kerry quell the violence? >> i think it will be difficult. i don't think we create binary choices. when there's a vacuum, basically, it's filled by the worst forces. >> so should secretary kerry go? >> i think he should go with a plan in mind. i would do it with iman or king abdullah of jordan present. i would do it with the focus of

one, counteracting the false claims as it relates particularly to the temple mount. and then not change the status quo with the public saying there isn't anything going on there and backed by an arab leader would be the starting point. and then can he create something unilateral movement where each side takes steps to try to improve the situation. >> former ambassador dennis ross, thanks for being here on "new day." did a second republican congressman just say that the benghazi select committee was out to get hillary clinton? judge for yourself -- coming up. , needs a systems check and tires. doc, i need you on point for this one. already got the latest updates direct from ford engineering.

big day? ah, the usual. moved some new cars. hauled a bunch of steel. kept the supermarket shelves stocked. made sure everyone got their latest gadgets. what's up for the next shift? ah, nothing much. just keeping the lights on. (laugh) nice. doing the big things that move an economy. see you tomorrow, mac. see you tomorrow, sam. just another day at norfolk southern. new york congressman richard hanna, republican, says the benghazi committee was created to target her. take a list for yourself.

>> sometimes, the biggest thing you can commit in d.c. is to tell the truth. >> yeah, yeah. >> you know, i -- this may not be politically correct, but i thing that there was a big part of this investigation that was designed to go after people, and an an individual, hillary clinton." >> i think that the phrase "politically correct" is starting to become code for "true." this may be too true what i'm about to say, but that's the question, is it? let's bring in cnn political commentator and former reagan white house jeffrey lord and the author of "i should be dead my life survived politics." brother beckel, you begin, make the case for what we're hearing from the republican congressman it what it sounds like to some

which is this is a witch hunt? >> you know, it's just staggering to hear that. i was take back and forth and i felt terrible when i heard it. who are we kidding, from the second they put this committee together, the idea was to go after hillary clinton. there are a lot of other things about the war, and wars in the middle east that could be covered. but in this case, she was the principal target. it was clear from the beginning that was -- that is what it was about. look, there's been 20 or 30 hearings on benghazi. >> bob, i just want to interrupt you for a second. have we ever gotten the answer -- i meaner have we ever gotten the answer as to why ambassador chris stevens was left vulnerable? >> yeah, we've gotten the answer. yeah, was left vulnerable because there was not enough security procedures in place. >> who is responsible for that? doesn't the american public deserve the answer who was responsible for not putting enough security measures in place? >> well, somebody is already -- someone at the state department, the embassy security has already taken responsibility for that.

you say can you say ultimately it was hillary clinton's responsibility? yes, and she has said that, that ultimately it is. look, that was about around the time that emevevery embassy aro the world since 9/11 was screaming for more security. the other question is, what was the ambassador doing up there that day? we don't know. this is like the kennedy assassination, you can go on and on with this one and you're not going to get a complete answer. >> jeff reed, what does this do now that the second congressman has come forward and said this is about partisanship, what does it do to the investigation? >> i don't think it does much. i listen to him, he says he thinks. does he know? i want to know what congressman gowdy and company have or don't have. we will find out. >> you will find out all the time, jeffrey, the thing is leaking like a sieve.

>> not in washington, d.c. >> look, i think the confusion we have here is that there's a little bit of empowerment of the unknown, right, fellas? are you going to learn anything about this? no, you don't learn a lot about any situation that has a lot of different components to it. it's how you decide to deal with the unknown. is it fueled by the skepticism this is something kept from us or more normalizing the unknown? what do you think about it, bob beckel what do you think at the end of the day comes from all of this? >> i think much ado about nothing. you made a point. there's not a thing i know that the gowdy committee has gotten that's not been made public, it's been leaked to public. if they have something that's very big. if they have a smoking gun, believe me, it would have been out by now. if they wanted to try to halt hillary clinton in her tracks, they would have come out in this earlier. look from her standpoint, she's got one more appearance. she doesn't have to do it. she is doing it. it's the right thing.

and they're not going to come out with a single thing that's going to change the trajectory of her campaign? >> where does that leave us, jeffrey? where does that wrap up benghazi? >> we find out what they have or what they don't have. it will either go on or go off. >> what about the committee reports that have come out? >> i don't know what happened, i don't know why it happened. >> what about the committee reports that came out with recommendations that were either approved or not approved? >> you know as well as i do, there's a difference between congressional operations when you're investigating things, and select committees like this, like watergate, like iran contra committee that are zeroing in only on that topic. that's what's going on here and we will find out. >> bob, let's talk about the latest polls. this is on the other side of the aisle in tellers of republicans. let's see where they are today. the early voting stage, nevada and south carolina, look at where donald trump is. he is at 38%. he is still dominating the race.

his closest competitor, ben carson is 22% in nevada and south carolina. trump doubles him 36% to 18%. bob, is it time to begin saying that donald trump may be in this for the long haul and may be the party's nominee? >> i've said for a long time, you can't discount trump. somebody that's got money like that. and somebody that's got the chutzpah that he's got and can take the political action out of a room. but having said, people forget their history. populists has been around since william jennings brown. you see it coming up in every two or three cycles where somebody like ross perot makes a big hit. i think the trump and ben carson and fiorina are populist in the sense, with the definition, they've intrigued a lot of people. the question is what is going to start happening when they start answering questions.

donald trump's answer on syria, for example, let's sit back and figure out what's going to happen. i've said this last night on cnn, people said is he out of his depth -- hell, he's not even in the kiddie pool. >> people are called and say, yes, i will vote for him. bob points to history, have we ever had somebody leading this long wait he is? >> oh, yeah. >> that wound up just burning out? >> well i mean ross perot burned up. ross perot was ahead. race. that screwy business about his daughter's wedding. >> but he didn't have numbers like this for this long? >> i'm sorry? >> he didn't does have numbers like this for this long. >> i believe there's something different going on with donald trump. people just have it. you know, when you listed to that democratic debate, the elephant in the room, if you will or donkey in the room was, basically, we're all supposed to be socialists now.

donald trump is out there every day with his what, 94.6 million people not in the workforce, people are upset. they want something done. and he has his can do reputation for good reason. i think that's why they're attracted to him. >> i'm sorry, go ahead. >> go ahead. make the point. >> all i was going to say, he has this reputation to do what? this guy talks about he doesn't like all the deals being made in washington. well, this guy builds buildings in new york city, do you think he's done a few deals in the course of that? i mean, this guy is very good at what he does. i take nothing away from him. but when people start to think as you get closer and closer to voting sand in iowa and new hampshire, particularly, and by it, by the way that trump with all of his millions of dollars has spent very little money in iowa. he's not put on the air, except for one ad. when you have a lead like that you solidify it. and why hasn't he done it? >> he's got the organization on the ground, bob and it's a good

one. >> where? i was just out in iowa. i could have stumbled -- i didn't stumble across one trump organizer in the field in iowa out there. it may be by his personality he thinks he's going to get people to come to these caucuses at night and when it's freezing. but i don't think so. look, let's give the guy credit. he's lasted longer than most people have. and it has to do with the quality of the people on that stage with him. >> there's more to come. >> on that note, jeffrey, bob, thanks so much for your insights. michaela. ahead here, former nba star lamar odom is fighting for his life. we're learning more about the moments leading up to him being found unconscious. could fame and endless media attention lead to him spiraling out of control? we're going to take a look at that -- ahead. ongestion and pain.

former nba player and reality tv star lamar odom is on life support this morning. he once conscious when he was found at a nevada brothel this

week. police say they were told he had been using cocaine and a so-called herbal viagra. here to discuss it all, larry hackett, the former managing editor for "people" magazine. and christine hanna man is here as well analyst for sports today. i know the three of us are here to talk about this terrible situation with a great nba player. what is known as a good guy. he was known as a good guy, christine. it's a tough conversation to be having. are you sort of looking at this as a cautionary tale, perhaps? >> oh, yeah, michaela. absolutely, when you look at lamar odom's life, the totality of his life, he said he was raised in the streets of queens. his dad was a heroin addict. his mother died of cancer when he was 12. this started a life of great talent and great promise in sports. a superstar. a first round pick in the nba. obviously two championships, nba

championships, with the lakers. winning award as the best sixth man in the league. a beloved teammate. but also a guy who had addictions and problems and suspensions for drugs and dui. and just one thing after another. and here it looks like it's cascaded into the worst possible situation. >> and a trick amount of loss. you talk about the fact that he lost his mother at 12. he lost the grandmother who raised him. a cousin. his baby son to sudden infant death syndrome. this is a guy. you see the tweets pouring in from the nba. kobe bryant rushing to his side at the hospital. this is a common thread, this is a guy that was liked within the group of players and teammate. he was beloved. >> and many americans got to see him on the television show and feel the same way about him. >> that's where we come to. this crazy collision of nba fame and reality tv.

>> if you look at his life and what he went through, the hallmarks were there for difficulty. he experienced when he was not there, he experienced it in college, his first year in the nba. what makes this unusual, we got to see it play out in realtime. i remember when i was the editor of "people" magazine a couple years ago, he went awol. and they were trying to find him. >> i remember that. >> it was almost a sea of mentality that people are trying to find him and khloe was trying to find him. >> he couldn't get out of the spotlight. >> he co-not. >> even when the season on the kardashians or what spinoff he had? >> a couple years earlier traded from the lakers to dallas, christine may know more about this as well, it's when things started to fall apart. he was shocked to get traded. he had just gotten married. he didn't want to live in dallas. the system built around him that was supportive up to that time began to crumble and he became a

victim of it. again, we got to see it play out in virtually realtime. >> and the virtual world of reality tv, christine, that is bringing to the professional world of sports. because we're seeing a little bit more of this crossover, right? the entertainment and sports colliding. this is one of the downsides of it perhaps. i think we heard even some members of the family are blaming the kardashians for where he is now. >> i think he's may these choices, i'm sure they were wonderful choices at the time. i think larry is right, as a cautionary tale, what have we learned from this? obviously, this is a man and family deeply in trouble and distraught. we'll see how that plays out. i think as a culture to look at what we do as athletes with the fame and all of the money and fortune, and for what? some can handle it, and some clearly have trouble. we have to understand that as a culture. >> there's a lot of prayers going towards this young man.

towards lamar odom and his family. people that are struggling with this right now. christine, larry, a tough conversation to have. glad you guys were here to do it with me. thank you. michaela on a much lighter note, let's look at the cnn debate through a comic lens. the late night hosts are doing that. and they're tapping the big event for big laughs. and apparently no one was safe. so we will have all the funny highlights for you -- coming up. hey, you forgot the milk! that's lactaid. right. 100% real milk, just without the lactose. so you can drink all you want... ...with no discomfort? exactly. here, try some... mmm, it is real milk. see? delicious. hoof bump! oh. right here girl, boom lactaid®. 100% real milk. no discomfort and for a creamy and delicious treat, try lactaid® ice cream

so who won cnn's democratic debate? answer the late night comics. check out all the material court soif hillary clinton, bernie sanders and oh yes, donald trump. >> many political pundits are calling hillary clinton the winner of last night's debate. pundits like nbc's millary finto a n. >> donald trump called ben

carson during the debate on the phone and they watched it together. hey are you watching the democratic debate? it's yuge. looking lincoln chafee just called out hillary on her i mails. this is going to be good. >> i think we need somebody with the best and ethical starts as our next president. that is how i feel. >> secretary clinton do you want to respond? >> no. more throws than chris christie at the beach. >> allen does a pretty good trump. >> did you see in? he was dancing on ellen's show behind the scenes? oh yeah. that is bernie sanders. >> cutting the rug. wow. >> keeping it close to home. i respect that. >> first of all i've never seen bernie sanders smile that much. so he likes dancing i just rear end. >> the whole time he was saying middle class, middle class. >> all right. so a second republican

congressman is now saying the benghazi committee was about hillary all along. does that mean it was a witch hunt all along? both sides get tested ahead. and it's got the spring and bounce of a traditional mattress. you sink into it, but you can still move around. now that i have a tempur-flex, i can finally get a good night's sleep.

u.s. troops are remaining in

afghanistan longer than planned. >> the president promised to get troops out of afghanistan. >> it is a tacit admission that the mission is not finished. >> there was designs to go after people, individuals, hillary clinton. >> now a second republican congressman says yes the benghazi committee was designed to go after hillary clinton. >> this committee is basically an arm of the republican national committee. >> donald trump holding a double digit lead. >> hillary and bernie sanders, they just couldn't give things away fast enough. >> what we saw from the democrat was a serious debate. >> people finally got a chance to compare the democrats to the republicans. >> this is "new day" with chris cuomo, allsyn camerota and michaela pereira. >> good morning. welcome to your "new day." thursday october 15th now just before 8:00 in the east. and we have breaking news. president obama will announce

this morning that u.s. troops are staying in afghanistan. this is the second day of the promised draw down. >> the resurgence of afghanistan tall bonn forces motivating this move. joe johnson is live with the details. what have you learned? >> reporter: the administration going through the status quo in afghanistan. the president expected to announce a plan that is essentially the old plan. cnn east jim acosta reporting that the administration intends to announce today that it is going to go keep current levels of u.s. military personnel in afghanistan. about 9800 people there through 2016. and then around 2017, reducing that to about half, to about 5500 people. that is a big difference from the administration's initial goal of having about a thousand people there mainly for embassy protection by the time the

president leaves office in 2017. a number of reasons we're getting from the administration, including the stubbornness of the taliban and al qaeda in afghanistan as well as continuing the training and equipping of afghan forces, friendly forces on the ground. there is also an issue of emergences in that country as we saw with the recent takeover of the city of kunduz. and the question of course, the bottom line, what will happen when a new president comes in? this will give more options to the next president, whoever that is. we dppt to hear from president obama to today to talk about the plan and give the reasons. >> joining us now is cnn military analyst lieutenant conditional rick francona. thank you for being with us. we want your perspective. let me remind everyone what the president said in 2014. back then he predicted that

troops would be out of afghanistan by the end of 2016. in other words just two months from now. let me play for everyone whether the president said in 2014. >> starting next year afghans will be fully responsible for securing their country. american personnel will be in an advisory role. we will no longer patrol afghan cities or towns. mountains or valleys. that is a task for the afghan people. >> colonel, this morning we've learned that prediction was wrong. what went wrong? >> well the training of the afghan forces just didn't go according to what we had hoped. and every time we do this, we seem to suffer setbacks. and you can look at what happened in iraq and almost transfer that in a hope cloth to afghanistan. the afghans just are not ready to take over their own security yet. it takes time to build an army institution. we think that this is easy. you go there and you train them

and you do it. but we're talking about a whole lifestyle change. so i think this is reality setting in. i think this is a good move on the party administration. leave the troop levels where they are. and try and address the situation as it is. not how we want it to be. >> colonel francona, whose fought is it that the afghan security forces are not up to the task and that we got the time line wrong? >> i'm not sure it is a fault. it is just a different mind set. we look at this in a western perspective. we walk in there with an american mind set and okay we should take this long to train this number of people. and if you are training americans, we know how long that takes. but we're dealing with a different society, a different cultural norm. and i think that its taken time to overcome a lot of those societal norms. i don't know that we have yet. but i think it is a smart idea to keep american troops there to work with the afghans. i think the administration is

very gun shy. they do not want to happen what happened in iraq with the precipitous withdrawal of american forces. >> but colonel, bad things are happening in afghanistan. we have 10,000 u.s. troops there on the ground right now. what makes us think that by continuing to have if ten,000 u.s. troops that the cal ban county continue to regroup and retake cities as we're seeing happen. >> and i think 10,000 may be too small of a number. you remember when we initially had this discussion, the army was asking for much more troops. 10,000 was the compromised figure. they wanted at least double that figure. and now we're seeing the problem with that figure. it is just not enough american forces there. and the afghans are not ready to step up. look what happened in kunduz. and we're going to see that again and again. >> well then there you have it. to my first question, that is where fault lies. that the troop numbers weren't big enough because how else do you explain what the taliban has been able to do in terms of

reconstituting? >> yeah, the taliban played this very well. and we knew this was going to happen. any time you announce your troop level withdrawals and you have got an insurgence like the taliban operating there, they are just going to sit back and wait. and they are going to wait until your numbers get down to where they think they can operate effect lively and then start attacking again. and they figure 10,000 troops is not enough americans to protect the citizens. and they took kunduz. but that is the number i think we're stuck with and we're going to keep if there for a while. but if you ask general campbell he'll want more troops. >> guess what, we are actually announcing that we are drawing down the troops in 2017. the numbers there right now are 9800 through 2016. but the next plan is in 2017 it will be drawn down to 5500. in other words what i hear you

saying is that we are making the very same mistake. so what makes us think that number will work? >> i don't think it will. we'll see another announcement years down the road. this is this administration pushing this off to the next administration. because the next time they have to make this decision it will be a different president in the white house. and i think we're just kicking this can down the road and letting the next administration figure out what they want to do with the troop levels. but i can tell you i don't think you are going to see a troop withdrawal much below where it is now. >> what is the right number for you? o what should the administration do? how many people should be there to fight the taliban. >> don't pin me down here. okay. i think we're way below where we need to be. you have to look at the capabilities of the afghan forces and you have to do a realistics assessment. not based on your timeline but their -- >> but you're saying we're not where we're supposed to be. >> oh i don't think so. i think we've withdrawn too far already. >> so what is the right number.

>> give me a number. 25,000 i think would be a useful number. but i think where we are now. we can't react fast enough with enough force to do anything. kunduz, its taken too long to retake this city. it should never have fallen. if we'd had enough american troops to move forces where we needed we could have maybe prevented that. right now we're too thin flout a big country. and that is going to continue. but if 10,000 is all we can get general campbell will take that. but i think we are really foolish if we cut below that number without assurances that the afghans can do this. and i have to tell you, i don't think they can right now. >> lieutenant conditional, than colonel, thanks so much. >> turning now to a surprising admission. another from another republican congressman. richard hanna says the benghazi committee was created to target hill deliberate. this revelation coming a week

before the secretary of state is expected to testify before the panel. joined live from los angeles with the latest on all of these developments. >> reporter: the clinton campaign is jumping right on this really quickly, moving to highlight these comments made by representative hanna in this radio interview yesterday. >> i think there was a big part of this investigation that was designed to go after people. an individual, hillary clinton. and i think there is also a lot of that it's important that we needed to get to the bottom of this. but this has been the longest investigation, longer than water gate. >> and the clinton campaign is really trying to hold this up as further proof in their words that the benghazi committee has zero credibility. that is a quote from the clinton campaign and is moving towards the sort of investigation because of a partisan goal.

now keep in mind it is of course coming just a few weeks after representative kevin mccarthy said this. >> everybody thought hillary clinton was unbeatable, right? but we put together a benghazi special committee, a select committee. what are her numbers today? her numbers are dropping. why? because she's untrustable. but no one would have no one any of that had happened had we not -- >> i agree. >> oh this certainly sets a very dramatic stage for clinton's testimony next week on capitol hill chris that is one week from today. >> i don't think it is a surprise that the committee was looking specifically at hillary clinton. the implication of targeting seems to think that was wrongfully done and that is going to be played out. thank you very much. so the republicans aren't just talking about the benghazi. they were listening to the democratic debate. and guess what they don't like what they were hearing. the front runner donald trump

calling out democrats and republicans. even referring to one as the communication. i wonder who that was. >> you will find out. good morning chris. well while trump was targeting rivals last night, protesters targeted him. we've seen demonstrations outside of his events since the moment he launched his campaign. last week there was an event in iowa where a climate change protester briefly interrupted his speech. but this latest protest went further. >> what started out as the standard chanting and fanfare for donald trump. >> that is okay. >> -- quickly turned heated wednesday night with nearly 20 protesters shouted "dump trump." that is why we have freedom of speech, folks. you know. one protester getting into an altercation with a trump supporter. while being escorted out before a crowd of nearly 5,000. the protesters against his a

wall will fix it stance on immigration. a defense while land basting the democratic debate. >> trump suggesting hillary clinton and vermont senator bernie sanders are far too easy on undocumented immigrants. they want healthcare more illegal immigrants. they want driver's licenses for illegal immigrants. >> the billionaire even calling sanders a maniac and a communication. >> i call a socialist/communication. because that is what he is. >> this new poll shows trump still out front. he leads ben carson by double digits in south carolina and nevada. but they are neck in neck in this fox news poll. at least the third poll in as many weeks to show carson inching closer. >> i kept falling asleep. >> carson on fox news wensz night making his own snide

remarks a about the debate. >> when people talk about free college, and free phones and free this and that. it is not free. and unless you are not very bright you will be able to see what's going on. >> carson getting his digs in. meanwhile today jeb bush plans to release his third quarter fundraising numbers, his 2014 tax returns and his health records. we'll watch out for that. >> i'll sure the comedians will have one the ben carsing saying he kept falling asleep during the debate. skpm. iran un --. the newly released images show the weapons in a tunnel dug more than 1600 feet under a mountain. this comes just days after iran test fired new long-range ballistic missiles. a move the u.s. says likely violated a u.n. resolution. >> the family of a crew member on the doomed el faro cargo ship

now suing for $100 million. el faro is presumed to have a sunk during the hurricane in the bahamas. claiming el faro was not sea worthy and that another ship was available. the company has yet to respond. >> one of new york's most prominent restaurant operators is getting rid of tips. here is why. danny meyers says he's trying to even out the pay for all employees. because the front house employees like waiters, they get tips. the back of the house kploes like cooks and cleaners don't. he says menu prices will rise to cover the difference. >> some restaurants get around that by pooling the tips and dividing them. the fact is it may be the server giving a great service but the kitchen staff is giving food service as well. >> i was at the restaurant. and you divide with the bartender but never the

dishwasher. >> if you said no tip in a restaurant it would be so confusing. >> i guess the argument is that we the public shouldn't be covering the wage. because, right? these guys are only making minimum wage. we shouldn't be covering the wage they should be earning. >> they will say on the flipside of the tips it is up to put into what to be taxed so you might be cutting into the take. >> it's not app easy answer. >> next up. is the benghazi special committee a hillary clinton witch hunt? another republican, say,ing the committee was designed to target clinton. we'll ask a top republican snarpt what he thinks. ...in bed all day... enator what he thinks. new theraflu expressmax. new theraflu expressmax. the power to feel better.

there is increased political zbreeg this morning of the benghazi variety. why? well a second congressman, republican, has come forward saying that the committee was designed specifically to go after hillary clinton and compromise her chances. joining us now to discuss wisconsin senator ron johnson, he is the chairman of the homeland security committee. and also on the senator foreign relations committee. and to be sure we have afghanistan and syria to talk about but what is your immediate reaction to the latest fold in benghazi? >> all i can do is speak for my own actions and. chairman of the senate committee in homeland security national affairs. and there are serious implications over this. i've got a responsibility and the fact that the benghazi did

reveal the fact that secretary clinton had this private server. we found out that he had back up firm. it was supposed to be on site but then they sent those e-mails over the air waves into the cloud. another server. put on a thumb drive. so, you know, the concern is what national security secrets might be in hands of our enemies. they are pretty good at hacking into the systems. so this has serious national security implication asking that's my concern. >> this investigation morphed from an investigation into what went wrong in benghazi to why hillary clinton used a private e-mail server. and in so doing it focused on hillary clinton at the exclusion of looking back at the problems with benghazi, that people weren't called, say, from the cia or to find out because of cuts in funding what went wrong in benghazi. yes you are focused on the e-mail but did that answer the

questions about what happened in benghazi. >> we haven't seen the committees work. sounds to me they have been doing very thoughtful work. interviewing all kinds of witnesses but in the investigation we found out about the e-mails and then i have the responsibility myself of finding out what kind of national security secrets are put at risk. who is lives might have been put at risk. >> but they are different issues. >> think about the secretary of state. she creates classified information. discussions with world leaders that if the russians or chinese have that will effect their behavior. i don't know maybe in regard -- >> and have you found the answers? have you found out if any of the national security was compromised. >> we don't have access to the server. the fbi -- >> you know, >> what i've been asking. we had a director call me in intercommittee last week and i wanted his assurance he was focuses on getting access to the e-mails to find out what classified information was on

there so we could mitigate the potential harm. >> but they are doing it. >> yes they are. let them do their work. you haven't seen me call hearings on this. i'm doing my job of oversight. >> you are not here to be accused senator. you are here to help us you said the situation. with benghazi there's been a lot of attention and money given to it. which is a corollary. and it seems well what else are you going to learn about the situation that you haven't been able to learn so far. why is this streeted as a nefarious mystery. >> because there are some potentially serious things going on. the national security. >> that's the e-mail. time talking about benghazi. >> benghazi too. we -- i'm the guy in the first senate foreign relations committee hearing that just asked secretary clinton a good question, why didn't you get on the phone and call the survivors. the public wouldn't have been misled. and that is when exclaimed what difference does it make? it makes a great deal when

the -- >> why didn't you call the survivors? how is that in anyway illustrative of what went wrong in benghazi? understand. >> this administration is not exactly transplaarent. they have been very careful. there have been, you know, many leaks out of that committee. they have been doing a thoughtful job. again i'm not on the committee but what from i see they are doing a very thoughtful job. other people. >> congressman hanna, what do you think about the comment? is he right they had a laserlike focus on hillary clinton? >> that is his pb opinion. i don't share that opinion. i'm looking at the national implications the e-mail. that is my job. and we need to find out here what classified information we have to assume could be in the hands of our enemies so we can mitigate the harm. >> -- the reality is coming to bear fruit that the taliban is

in play once again. they are going to have to stay there. do you believe it is the right move? do you believe we're going sigh more u.s. men and women on the grounds in afghan and syria. >> i think it's important that president o learned his historic blunder not leaving troops behind has led to deterioration in the situation. i guess he learned that lesson. would have been nice if he learned the lesson from germany and japan and south korea. >> answer the question. >> what is the goal in afghanistan? what is our goal in this point in time? we didn't want to see a failed state. we didn't want a base of operations for al qaeda. we want to -- at this point this time it is probably the right thing but it is a mess. >> if the dipole is to beat back the taliban and keep it from seizing other cities, are 10,000 u.s. troops enough. >> i'm not a military expert. i was listening to an earlier guest says we don't have enough. so again it is very important the president lays out the goal

with clarity. and he actually accepts the military's advice in how to achieve the goal. same with isis. president obama lead out the goal to ultimately defeat isis. we're not even close. he's laid out the goal but ham strung the military in terms of actually strooefing that goal. so what is the reality? start with that. then set achievable goals then lay out strategies. i'm figuring this president immediately laid out a strategy. no boots on the ground. so we're not going to be able to achieve the goal. >> if we need 25,000 troops on if ground as we heard from general francona. would you be comfortable with that. >> here is the model. the first gulf war. when georgia h.w. bush assembled a coalition that was pretty impressive. we provided about 500,000 troops. coalition partners provided 250,000 and paid for 85% of the effort. that is a true coalition. but it is only going to be put

together and effective if america leads and the problem with this president, his strategy has been peace through withdrawal and unfortunately it's been a failure. >> and you also have to have to allies willing to put boots on the ground. >> but they won't unless we lead. and the guess the opportunity, i hate to call it that but the refugee crisis into europe, i thisty world is starting to reel the events in syria are not going to remain contained in syria. and the more refugees the west accepts the more refugees will flow. and that will start destabilizing the nation too. create safe zones. but again, the process of withdraw withdrawal, now that putin is in there, and iran is in there prooping up the assad regime. we've seen probably a strategic realignment with russia and iran on the asendsy. they are a tenth of the economy. we are more than $30 trillion

large economic strength. putin, russia and iran are less than 3 trillion a tenth. and look who's pushing who around. there is something wrong with that equation. >> senator, thank you so much for being on "new day." >> have a good morning. >> you too. >> sanders is picking up campaign cash following the first debate. he's also picking up his second congressional endorsement. that's can congressman keith elsson and we're going to ask him why he's backing bernie next. didn't get here alone. there were people who listened along the way. people who gave me options. kept me on track. and through it all, my retirement never got left behind. so today, i'm prepared for anything we may want tomorrow to be. every someday needs a plan. let's talk about your old 401(k) today.

just as a result of last night's debate, i am told that we have raised two million dollars. >> bernie sanders, at an event last night in california touting the success of the debate performance by the donations that keep rolling in. sanders now has another milestone to celebrate his sikd congressional endorsement. from keith ellison joining us now. congressman, good to have you on new day. obviously bernie is talking about money not because he's

fixated on money but because he sees as a function of relevance. let me ask you about your endorsement here. do it by justifying defense of the obstacles. the big with bernie sanders is how he identifies himself -- democratic socialist. socialism is seen as the enemy of capitalism, that which promotes america's greatness. how do you defend that? >> first i think americans are looking into the substance, what is he for? he and have co-authored bills on raising the minimum wage to $15 an hour. co-authoring bills on making sure that imprisonment. and also come together to strip subsidies from the big oil companies they are highly profitable and we shouldn't be subsidizing them particularly with climate change on our back.

so common core in values. and the other is the way he's campaigning. he is energizing the base and making people excited about democracy and participation. he has massive crowds at his rallies and from his fundraising the dollar figure is important. but what about the actual number of donations? he's upwards of 600,000 people donating to him. this is starting a real energizing thing. >> no question that he has energized the base, slash, left side base of your party. critics within your party will say but he can't win. and if he can't win and you are not backing hillary clinton who you democrats believe can win, you are hurting your own party. your response? >> my response is that i don't know that he can't win. i think competition is a good thing. i do believe that, you know, secretary clinton made greet points in the debate and yet our

candidates, democratic candidates, even o'malley and all the rest of them are competing on how they are going to help the american people. how they are going to help people make the bread and butter decisions they have faced every single day. compare and contrast that with the other side which is talking about do you like muslims? can a muslim be president? can a mexican be a part of our society? are we going to shut down the whole country based on planned parenthood? that is what they want to talk about. i think our side is on the right track, and no matter whether you like bernie or another candidate they are all basically heading in the right direction in my opinion. >> for those who don't know you are a practicing muslim yourself. what do you say to americans who are hearing dr. ben carson say what he has said about muslims? and that they are responding by supporting him. his numbers are rising since he said that. what do you see to those americans? >> well what i say is that, you know, mr. carson -- dr. carson may be smart about separating

conjoined twins. but it pretty much ends right there. and, you know, people want to come together. they don't want to be divided. americans in general, they like their neighbors. and they don't really care what color or religion they are. and we went through that long, ugly history of segregation. americans know we are well rid of that kind of thinking. and that is all i can say about that situation. >> what do you think when senator bernie sanders took what is the big elephant in the room in terms of negatives on hillary clinton and said enough with your damn el mails? what did you think when he said that. >> that is what he said. i said that's bernie. that is the bernie i know. bernie is a class guy. value values trump political expediency. he just thought it was right and that is why i think the guy is awesome. i think hillary clinton appreciated it too. and i think just goes to show that, you know, the person in

doing what is right is more important that were scoring a petty point in the debate for him. so good on bernie. that is bernie being bernie. >> final point. do you think others are to follow your lead? and raul's also in terms of backing sanders. do you think there are more to come. >> raul and i are supporting sanders at this point. we think others may follow. but look this is a american tradition. we get to decide who's going to be our next president. and for now i think that it is perfectly fine for me to support the guy who i think best represents what needs to be said in this moment of time in this country. which is the american middle class and working class are not getting their fair share of the american dream. and we have to fight for it. and make a big case for it. and if he can end up being

president to execute that policy, so much the better in my mind. >> congressman, thank you for being on "new day." >> you bet. >> mick. >> we know him as the brash billionaire currently leading the republican candidates. she knows him as dad. an exclusive cnn interview with ivanka trump ahead. pill? or stop to find a bathroom? cialis for daily use, is approved to treat both erectile dysfunction and the urinary symptoms of bph, like needing to go frequently, day or night. tell your doctor about all your medical conditions and medicines, and ask if your heart is healthy enough for sex. do not take cialis if you take nitrates for chest pain, as it may cause an unsafe drop in blood pressure. do not drink alcohol in excess. side effects may include headache, upset stomach, delayed backache or muscle ache. to avoid long-term injury, get medical help right away for an erection lasting more than four hours. if you have any sudden decrease or loss in hearing or vision, or any symptoms of an allergic reaction, stop taking cialis and get medical help right away. ask your doctor about cialis for daily use

for if first time donald trump's daughter ivanka opening up about her father's presidential campaign, addressing some of the controversial remarks. >> a fascinating conversation. first we heard from her since june when she announced her father's candidacy at the podium. we talked about her business and also her father's run. she said it is her father who set her moral compass. >> we are at the fortune most powerful women summit. and michael cohen from the trump organization said the company employees 53% men and 47% women. but there are more female executives than male within the trump organization. how can we see that translate across corporate america so that more women are at the upper echelons? >> well i think it's incredibly

important and companies who aren't prioritizing, ensuring that women are at all levels within the organization and this disproportion of of men versus women and gender inequality, you know, anyone who is thinking in those terms and who's not being very proactive to ensure their company is being thoughtful about the gender mix is simply going to fall behind. so i think it will be a self selecting things. i think in ten years the companies who haven't evolved will not be companies that they are today. and you know, i think my mothfa recognized this a long time ago. i wouldn't be the person i am today. i wouldn't have the ambition, the drive the passion the commitment to what it is i'm doing for the trump organization and my own brand if he hadn't encouraged me, emboldens me given me the confidence that i

could do whatever i set my mind to accomplish if i had the vision and work ethic to match. leadership i think is really about action. leadership is about setting an example. and he's very much done that within the context of the trump organization. and it's why, you know, my brothers and i are equally at the same level at the highest ranks within the context of that company. >> you started women who work to empower women at all levels to work and to follow their dreams. but pugh found an increasing amount of american women are staying home. from 23% in 1999 to 29% in 2000 and some of that is in part due to rising child care costs. what is your message to those women. >> my campaign is about the fact that women are working at all aspects of their life and there is a tendency to talk about the working women.

there is there caricature of what that looks like. we represent 50% of the population. we are all working at different things. we all have different priorities and the priorities change through the course of their lives. my priorities today as the mother of two with one on the way are different and likely will be different in ten years from now. so i really wanted to create a brand that was celebrating the fact that women are multidimensional, that we're working hard at architecting the lives we want to live and lives consistent with our personal priorities. and i do think there exists unfortunate and prevailing depiction of the working woman as, you know, wearing a black pantsuit and being solely focused on her professional role. and that is just not true. and hopefully i can be a small part of changing the narrative around what it looks like to be a woman who works today. and that is the purpose of the campaign. it is not to tell people they

should work or they shouldn't work. it is not to push people in a certain direction. it is to celebrate the fact that we're all figuring it out. we're all working very very hard. i know for example, i'm more exhausted on a monday morning after the weekend home with the kids than i am on a friday afternoon. and i work really hard during the week. so it is really about just a enabling and supporting women in architecting this ideal life for themselves. >> your father points to you telling him that he has been on the campaign trail, quote, really misunderstood on his views about women. he has said some things about women that have shocked many people. about carly fiorina. he said "look at that face. would anyone vote for that?" about megyn kelly's questioning him in the first fox debate. he said there was blood coming out of her wherever. ivanka what was your reaction to that. >> i think a lot of the sensationalism around this was orchestrated largely by the media.

my father is very blunt. very direct. he's not gender specific in his criticism of people and people that he doesn't particularly like or people that he does like but thinks they are wrong on a particular issue. so, you know, i don't think that he's gender targeted at all. like i said i wouldn't be the person i am today. i wouldn't be a high-level executive within his organization if he felt that way. so he's always supported and encouraged women. and truthfully he's proven that over decades through his employment practices, through his hiring practices. >> what would a president prump do for women in this country? he'd be amazing for women in in country. he would be incredible for women in this country. and he's starting to articulate his positions. it is not my place to articulate them for me. i'm very busy and he's kept me very busy working alongside my brothers and running the organization now that he's taking this step in terms of his

efforts to try and make this country great again, as he says. so, you know, i'll leave policy to him. but i can speak from my vantage point as a child and also from my vantage point as the colleague and somebody who works for him. he's been an amazing parent. he's given me every opportunity to succeed. he's been loving and supportive. he's pushed me. he's corrected me. he's disciplined me. and i think as the parent now myself i appreciate how hard that is more than ever before. when i was 15 or 16 i was a little less impressed by how tough he was and how strict he was. with us as children. as a parent now, i see just how hard it is to raise children with drive and with passion and with energy who have a well-set moral compass. and he very much did that for me

in his role as a father. and then as an executive, i've seen what an unbelievable leader he is. he's the most formidable negotiator i've ever seen. and i've seen a lot of great negotiated negotiateders. he is also somebody who really encourages people to achieve at their highest level. he sets very high goals for everyone who works for him and who works with him. but really he helps them raise the bar for themselves in terms of what they want to accomplish. >> what are your business goals for ivanka trump as the brand, as the business? >> ooh, i have far-reaching goals. i think my goals are less specific and more general now. i want to continue to grow the trump organization footprint throughout the world. we have a hotel company, the trump hotel collection, which i'm incredibly proud of, which is now the fastest growing luxury hotel brand. we have many, very, very

exciting property openings in the year to come. here in washington d.c. with the old post office building. an iconic building right on pennsylvania avenue, rio de janeiro and vancouver and many others in the pipeline for the years to come. so i think the opportunity on the hotel side and on the real estate side is huge. and i almost don't want to limit myself by giving a specific goal. but the growth potential there is enormous. in terms of my own business, i really feel like it is in its infancy and i'm just getting started. i'm created product in many categories that has been very well-received that i'm deeply proud of. and i'm looking forward to other opportunities and in other categories and in international markets to grow that brand. of course my most important priority, my family, is growing and hopefully will continue to grow. >> congratulations. you are five months pregnant. >> i'm five months pregnant. >> with your third. >> with my third.

>> congratulations. >> so it is an amazing time. and it is an exciting time for me in my personal life as well. so i feel incredibly blessed and incredibly fortunate that i'm so happy personally and professionally. and i hope that always continues. >> you are very good friends with chelsea clinton. and she gave a recent interview and she said, quote, i love ivanka. and she said that both your parents running in a potential election has not affected your friendship. how do you navigate that? do you not talk politics? do you talk kids? >> we have not had an issue. she's been a great friend to me. i've been a great friend to her. the politics of our parents is not relevant to our friendship. >> i asked a lot of the women here at the women's summit and sat down with a group after the democratic debate last night. i know you watched. what did you make of the debate? and who do you think would be

most formidable against your father, who is leading still in all of the republican policy. >> polls. >> i thought the debate was excellent. i thought it was interesting to watch. i enjoyed watching. like i said i'm a business person not a politician. so i'll leave politics to other members of the family and the many, many people involved in the race on both sides. we'll see who emerges. >> ivanka trump, thank you very much. >> thank you. very interesting to hear from her. a lot of political pundits say that she could be a big asset for her father on the campaign trail. will we see that? i don't know. she certainly didn't give insight with that interview. she said i'm very busy with the business. third child on the way. i'll leave the politics to other members of the family. >> interesting. we'll see if she makes an appearance or two. ♪
