♪ i'm michael smerconish. the democrats have left town but i'm still in philly. the conventions are over and now just 100 days remain including three presidential debates. that's all that stands between now and election day. in an election cycle already full of surprises, like dnc

hacked information produced by wikileaks, might there be an october surprise that changes everything? plus, she introduced her mother at the convention just five weeks after giving birth. now will chelsea clinton become the first first daughter to serve in that role a second time? i'll talk to her mother-in-law. and is the real story of this election the fact that we in the media and the establishment politics don't understand what it is like to be working class. but first, might there be a real october surprise in this presidential race? you know, back in 1972 right before the election secretary of state henry kissinger promised peace is at demand vietnam, which wasn't true. but it helped president nixon vanquish his anti-war opponent mcgovern. and this has raised the prospect

of another october surprise but this time it might actually happen. we got a possible preview with the wikileaks release of the dnc e-mails and voice mails. wikile wikileaks founder julian assange promises more embarrassing information. james comey said he couldn't be sure whether hillary clinton's private servers were hacked. but he did say those she regularly communicated with were hacked. so what originated on hillary clinton's private servers were not among the thousands handed over to the fbi for its investigation. their content need not be particularly damaging. the only thing needed to harm clinton would be that they were e-mails that should have been shared with the fbi but instead were deleted and nevertheless ended one in hostile hands. that would confirm republicans

worst charges about how clinton jeopardized national security in a manner that james comey himself characterized as extremely careless. unless, of course, donald trump bobbles the potential gift before it falls in his lap. and that's entirely possible since trump has no filter and just can't help himself. on wednesday he encouraged russia to find the e-mails and then later trump and his team tried to say, well, he was just joking. but it was a missed opportunity. what trump should have done is condemn all hacking by actors foreign and northwedomestic and lay low. instead, he showed democrats that he's siding with vladimir putin which could on secure clinton's negligent behavior. if this whole escapade were a paperback pot boiler by say nelson de mill, john corey would muzzle trump, condemn clinton, depose putin and maybe ensure

the kan, the break-out star of the dnc sthar, that he would be next american president. i know it sounds farfetched, but given everything else that happened this cycle i'm not counting anything out. david sanger covering the hang for "the new york times" is their chief washington correspondent. david sanger joins me right now from the aspen security forum. here's the front page of new york times today, you contributed to this story, the headline says, russian spies said to hack clinton's bid. what the s the latest, david? >> the latest out of that story is that the clinton campaign said that a database that they shared with the dnc appeared to be compromised. that doesn't mean that the russians got into the clinton campaign's own networks. we know of course somebody and it is believed to be russia and

the u.s. intelligence officials certainly seem to believe it is two russian spy agencies did get into the dnc. that's a different thing than getting into the campaign's own computer networks. but the broader question which you raised, michael, and raised rightly is we don't know where the bottom of this is. because we don't know what additional material, the russian hackers, if the intelligence agencies are right might have. we don't know how much of it, if any, has been passed on to wikileaks or other publications tchltz n . it is not just wikileaks turning this out. there are others as well and we don't know what the impact is going to be. and then of course you had the remarkable scene that you mentioned earlier this week when mr. trump went out and basically invited, whether it was car sasticily or not, the russians to go commit what would be a felony under u.s. law, which is to go into computer systems and

pull out confidential data. now, he says that he was being sarcastic and i think you have to allow this is a campaign and people say all kinds of odd things at odd moments. but we're in a very different place here because we have never before seen a moment where a foreign power, at least that i can find, where a foreign power appears and the critical word here is appears to be stepping in to try to manipulate some kind of electoral result. that creates a lot of different issues for the obama administration. >> and that was my next question. is this routine espionage if there is such a thing, or does it appear to be intended to influence the outcome of the american election? >> well, michael, it's entirely possible that it began as routine espionage. the first attack on the dnc dates back to june of 2015 when no one could have forseen the

donald trump to emerge as the republican candidate. but it was a pretty good bet that hillary clinton would emerge as the democratic candidate. and we know that vladimir putin believes that hillary clinton was meddling in the 2011 parliamentary election in russia. and that the u.s. has meddled in his mind in ukraine where the russians seized crimea and have been active in guerilla movements going on in you eukraine. this is simply pay back for something the americans started. >> final question, david, it seems to defy logic that the russians, if it in fact is the russians, would only be

interested in on the democratic side of the aisle. what do we know, if anything, about their efforts to get to the republicans? >> so far we have not seen much and have been asking that question. and that is one of the reasons that many people in the intelligence world or law enforcement world believe that this may have been an effort by the russians to put their finger on the scale. but it's very possible that we could see efforts to get it material from the russians as well. if you go back a few election cycles in 2008 the chinese were in both the democratic and the republican campaigns. barack obama's and john mccain's, there was evidence of foreign intelligence gathering in 2012. the difference here is not intelligence gathering. we do that to the russians and political institutions. they do that to us. it's the selected release of information that appears to be intended to alter the election. to those who are highly

suspicious of hillary clinton and her e-mail practices, which you point out were criticized very severely by james comey, this is a side show. and the real issue is what is in the e-mails. to a lot of other people, the russians getting into the system is the main story. >> david sanger, thank you so much for your reporting and for being here. we appreciate it. whenni whenni looking to blame somebod for the cyber attack, russia was more than convenient. but does this have any basis, and if not, could it cause real harm? here to discuss is stephen cohen, russian studies at princeton and new york universities. professor cohen, does vladimir putin indeed have a dog in our u.s. fight? >> let me say, i have no ties to the trump campaign or the clinton campaign. but if i were to write your headline for you today, i tried on the way down here, i couldn't

fit it on the front page? but it would go like this, we are in a new and more dangerous cold war with russia. we are approaching a cuban missile crisis with russia over russia's borders and over syria. there's absolutely no discussion, no debate about this in the american media, including forgive me on cnn. and then along comes unexpectedly donald trump who says something that suggests he wants to end the new cold war, cooperate with russia in various places. what we used to call datont, and now astonishingly the media is full of neil mccarthy charges that he's a russian agent, he's a manturian candidate, so the real danger is our political process. this is a moment when in a presidential year there should be a debate because mrs.

clinton's position on russia seems to be very different, has been a long time. trump speaks elliptically, you have to piece together what he says, but he seems to want new american policy toward russia. in considering the danger, i think we as american citizens deserve that debate and not what we are given in the media today including on the front page of "the new york times." i end by saying that these reckless branding of trump as a russian agent, most of it is coming from the clinton campaign and they really need to stop. >> as one who can't match your credentials, here's what i see from the outside looking in. donald trump having said to "the new york times" just within the last ten days that he's not so sure he would stand with nato allies. and i'm paraphrasing, he would want to know whether they are pulling their own weight.

the impact of his comments seems to suggest that he could provide putin with unfettered, undeterred access to the baltic states whose independence he recents. and so it all seems to fit therefore that putin would have a dog in this fight, would want to see donald trump win this election so he, putin, can do as he pleases in that part of the world. cnn is covering that. i have to defend the network in that regard, but why does that not all fit? and why does it not all fit with the headline in today's new york times saying russian spies said to hack clinton's bid? >> said to have, said to have, that's not news. that's an allegation. james clapper, i don't know who hacked. everybody hacks everyone. i mean, we hacked into chan chancellor merkel's cell phone. the chinese hacks, everybody hacks. the point is, you said it, not to depend it as a provocation,

but let's take the proclamation that you set out. that putin wants to end what is happening in the baltic states. there's no evidence on that. the point is on the networks, and i'm not blaming cnn, there's not in any network, none in "the new york times," i'm old enough to rub during the cold war all the issues were debated and you had an opponent to each point of view. but you have accusations, both against putin, both against trump, which needed to be debated. the most, let's go back to what you said that trump said about nato, trump said early on he wanted to know 60 years after its foundation what was nato's mission today. 100 policy walks through washington. since the end of the soviet union 25 years ago have asked the same question. is nato an organization in search of a mission? for example, it's a mission for the last 20 years to expand ever

closer to russia. so people have now asked, why is it fighting international terrorism? that's a legitimate question, but we don't debate it. we just say trump wants to abandon nato. i don't defend trump. trump raises question. and instead of given an answer to the question, we denounce him as a criminal nation. that's bad in our politics given the danger we are not addressing it. >> i love this conversation. and i could go on for hours with you on this subject. i wish time afforded that. i have not regarded him in that respect. and i think that we have just had this conversation. the conversation that you say is so desperately lacking. thank you for being here. i appreciate your time. tweet me your thoughts @smerconish. i'll get to the best of them later in the program. donald trump's biggest con stitch when wheconstituency, th

the tie breaker vote. she did. the colleagues wave bye-bye and she wound up losing her seat in the next election. funny how things work out, 17 years later her youngest son mark married chelsea clinton. and this week marjorie margolies found herself in the seat this week at the democratic convention. marjorie joins me this week. how did mark and chelsea meet? >> well, we were invited to go to renaissance weekend. and that was in '93. mark has a lot of brothers and sisters. i think we took nine kids or something, and mark and chelsea met there. so he was 15 and she was 13. and they just remained friends. they became best friends. they went to the same college a year apart. they went to the same graduate school a year apart. and they became really dear friends, talking all the time.

it was -- it was such a nice relationship. and she's a gem. >> so you grandparent the same children as the clintons. how do you divide those responsibilities? you know, all of us in our own families know that when the holidays come, you have to decide, are you going to be with them or them? how does it work in this unit? >> i say anything you want. it is fine. i say, just anything you want. sometimes -- because we have so many people, sometimes we'll say, okay, thanksgiving, you do thursday, friday, we'll do saturday, who cares. my response is, hmm, that's a good idea. >> chelsea is friendly with ivanka trump. is mark friendly with the trump clan? >> he was -- he was friendly with jared, yes. he's known him for a while.

>> it's amazing they can keep those friendly relationships given the tone around them. tell us something we don't know about chelsea. >> you know, i think she's been under the spotlight for a really long time. she's -- she's got a great sense of humor. she's very patient, as you can well imagine. she's -- she is so smart. and endlessly energetic. endlessly. she's always -- you know, you can tell, she exercises and she's very, very responsive. she's a gem. and i think you saw a bit of that when she introduced her mother. she's just a terrific person.

>> and you know that the wedding planning, the wedding planning gets discussed with regard to those, quote/unquote damn e-mails. every time i heard reference to the private server and the e-mails that dealt with yoga or the wedding i thought of you. did you share wedding planning responsibilities with the secretary of state? >> i was very, very careful about -- as the -- i've had daughters getting married, so i know what that responsibility is. but as the mother of the son getting married, basically i stepped back and said, this is -- i love it, it's perfect, anything you want. and we had had so many weddings, we knew this was going to be a tad bit different. but no, i tried really hard not to put my two cents in because everyone was putting his or her two cents in.

>> final question, bill clinton still owes you one for that '93 vote. you rule out serving in a hillary administration? >> i don't rule out anything. but i think it's -- i think that kind of something has to be completely up to them. >> all right, congresswoman, thank you for being here. >> thank you. up next, donald trump's most loyal voters are non-college educated whites. what is his appeal to them? a new best selling book by j.d. advance has the answer. here's one of your tweet, legts check this out. this election will be decided by e-mail revelations, period. that's my take. well, it could be the ultimate october surprise. we'll find out. o tomorrow... ♪ for people with heart failure, tomorrow is not a given. but entresto is a medicine that helps make more tomorrows possible.

i we worked with pg&eof to save energy because wenie. wanted to help the school. they would put these signs on the door to let the teacher know you didn't cut off the light. the teachers, they would call us the energy patrol. so they would be like, here they come, turn off your lights! those three young ladies were teaching the whole school about energy efficiency. we actually saved $50,000. and that's just one school, two semesters, three girls. together, we're building a better california.

some of the richest people in this country are people that can't read or write, they are called friends of mine. they are called contractors. they are a lot smarter than the guys coming out of harvard, i can tell you. they can take them and wrap them around their finger. that was donald trump on friday complimenting construction workers that he deals with. he's actually appealing to one of his strongest affinity groups. according to the cnn/orc poll from after the rnc, donald trump enjoys the support of 62% of white voters who lack a college degree. a new best selling book might hold the answer as to why that's the case. "hillbilly elogy" was written by j.d. vance, a marine who grew up on the wrong side of the tracks before attending yale law school. j.d., love the book.

i pored right through it. explain this because i think you have a finger on it. >> on the one hand, you find that industrial job losses mean that it's hard to find a good job, a job you're proud of. on the other hand, to give you a sense in the ohio county where i grew up last year heroin overdose deaths outnumbered natural cause deaths. so you have in combination with these two things what you eventually have is just a feeling, i think, of hopelessness and feeling that frankly the political elites are not listening, don't appreciate the scale and challenges that you face. and as you just mentioned, donald trump talking to the construction workers, no one else is really talking to construction workers anymore and talking about their concerns and the places that they live. so it's not surprising that they support him. >> what i took away from the book was not so much an explanation of this portrait that you paint based on say income inequality, but rather more looking toward cultural influences and chief, among

them, the role of religion. speak to that. >> yeah, absolutely. one of the things i write about is we think of these areas as the bible belt, but actually church attendance rates in appalachia and southern ohio, eastern kentucky, have fallen out. and so what that means is that church provides a sense of community, a sense of belonging, but it also provides a big moral pressure. it provides a group of people that can lift you up when you're feeling down. and so what has happened is people have gone to church less and less. they still identify as evangelicals of course, but they are not quite as happy and don't have quite the same sense of community. so i do think it's a critical part to understand what's going on in these folks' lives. why in some ways they are so culturally depressed to ask, why aren't they going to churches much and how has that affected the rest of their lives? >> j.d., as i was reading the book in the back of my mind, i was thinking about a controversial, it turned out to be controversial at the time, statement that president obama made in the midst of the '08

cyc cycle. let me put it on the screen to remind everyone what i'm talking about because the quote was this, you go into these small towns in pennsylvania and like a lot of small towns in the midwest, the jobs have been gone now for 25 years and nog's replaced them. and they fell through the clinton administration and the bush administration and each successive administration has said that somehow these communities are gonna regenerate and they have not. here's the key part, it's not surprising then that they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy toward people who aren't like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations. was he ahead of his time when he said that? >> i think he was ahead of his time. but unfortunately that reveals an attitude that turns a lot of people away from the democratic party and turns them toward donald trump. there's a sense when you grow up like i did, when you grow up the

people like i was among, we are proud and love the communities and the people we're around and don't like to be judged. and there's a sense that folks like president obama and frankly a lot of folks in the republican party they look down on people like me. and if you want to understand, i think, why folks are really frustrated at political elites, you have to talk about the policy in the substance and you also have to talk about that sense of what i'll call smug con defense. and don't be surprised that people who feel looked down upon don't appreciate the people who are looking down on them. >> well, i guess to your point, there was blow-back from the rust belt states, my own pennsylvania because he specifically cited pennsylvania. and i think that the climate, i'm looking at the golden gate bridge behind you and admired that there in miren county, there was truth in it was he was offering. but then again i didn't grow up

the way that you did. >> yeah, i do think his comments were definitely directed, they were well intentioned, i do say that, but i think they came across wrong. i don't think there's anything in the past five to ten years that rises to that level to still fire people up. maybe what hillary clinton said a few weeks ago is to put a lot of coal miners out of business. but to your point, the problems that he's bringing up are very legitimate. these places have lost a lot of jobs. these places are struggling. and i think because of that they have become frustrated and in some ways they have become recentful. but i think the answer is to ask really tough questions about why they are recentful and what we can do to turn things around. unfortunately, the political class has not done a good job at showing sympathy to these places. that's really all you need to do. that's one of the things i've realized in writing thissing into, people say, thank you for

being honest about the problems but thank you for being sympathetic. i really think that's what folks need, they need sympathy and understanding. >> the book is a best seller. i wish you continued good fortune. j.d. vance, thank you for being here. up next for the past several decades, presidential debates have evolved into stump speeches and talking points with no points and spontaneity. can they be fixed? wanting to introduce oxford style debating he's here's to explain. and here's a tweet from tim mcguire, the folks that make this country work are not the technocrats and beancounters who sit in high back leather chars and go home at 5:00. thank you for that.

this notion that barack obama doesn't know what he's doing is just not -- >> there it is. the memorized 25-second speech. >> it's not going to happen. i'm not going to answer that question. >> you get to ask the questions i want, i get to answer the questions i want. >> let me ask that and you can have at it. >> if we can raise this in new york or los angeles or seattle -- >> don't worry about it, little marco. >> gentlemen, you got to do better than those. >> even though all the clips were from events called debates, you can see that a lot of time they rarely resembled anything like a debate. but post-convention the three schedules presidential debates will be the biggest showcases for the major candidates. will we really learn anything from them? john donovan thinks he's got a better idea and he's a practitioner of what he preaches. he's the moderator of intelligence squared which started a petition to change dot

org to lobby. i am a patron and several times been out in the crowd and watched you and listened to all of them on podcasts. so i get it, but explain to my audience what is oxford-style debating of the type you practice? >> the oxford-style debate comes down to this. the debater has to prove something, not slogans, not assertions, not zingers, not put-downs of the other guy. you have to prove something. so you have a resolution, a motion we call it that's put before the audience and the debaters. for example, it could be something like give undocumented immigrants to a path to citizenship. yes or no, for or against. or the u.s. intervenes abroad too often? yes or no, foror against. the debaters have to proven their argument is right while at the same time disproving their opponent's argument. as a result, they really have to go into depth, they have to marshal facts, they have to present logic, they have to be

persuasive. and the ideal thing is the audience gets to hear two sides to a very good argument. >> so how would it apply to the presidential race where there are three dates that are on the calendar? >> well, what we see with the presidential debates, and we really haven't been doing it that long, they only go back to 1960 with a lot of years skipped in between, these are debates where the candidates come in and don't really come in intending to debate. they come in with speeches that they have memorized and they look for opportunities to unfold their speeches, really basically ignoring the questions in most of their speeches being about putting down the other guy. they move along from topic to topic. the moderator is in there trying to play gotcha. and that puts the candidates on the defensive. if we can could ahead with the debate program that actually introduces the oxford model, we would see candidates having to prove themselves, prove what they believe. their core beliefs will come out if they actually have to argue for or against a motion in a way that we have never seen ever be.

and we have done 120 of these debates so far all over the country. and i have to say, it may sound like it may be hard going to listen to, it's the opposite. you have been there. audiences come out electrified being witness to a real intellectual jousting match. they are gladiators. >> i know. but you and i are a couple policy wonks, maybe nerdish, do you think the american people want the substance you're offering in this type of a format? >> look, the fireworks are fun, there's no question about it. and you and i are wonks, no question about it. but we feel halls all around the country. a lot of times with people saying they were dragged along by their date coming out saying, i never knew a real debate, a real debate, which is not what we're seeing from the presidential debates, a real debate could be so exciting. my answer to that is yes. and we have had on our petition change.org/fixthedebates, 50,000 people have signed the petition in just the last few weeks. millions have looked at the video that goes with it.

we have hundreds of thousands of shares. so once people sort of get the idea, my answer to that is, yes, we all have a hidden wonk in us but it doesn't have to feel wonky, it is actually exciting to see it happen once it happens. >> two final observations. one, i'm just wondering aloud, would the candidates go for this if the public demand it? and secondly, i just want to congratulate you on the publication of "in a different key: the story of autism." i'm john donvan i have so often heard you say. appreciate it. >> thank you, sir. packing the tents in cleveland and philly. in their wake, what kind of bump did the candidates get? keep tweeting me your thoughts @smerconish. all her aches and pains.

and i said "come to class, let's start walking together" and i said "and i bet you money you'll be able to do that senior walk". that day i said "ok it's me and you girl, me and you!" i said "if you need to stop, there's a bench we'll just hang out in the shade." she said "absolutely not! we are going to finish this race!" and we were the last ones in, but you know what? we finished the race. and she goes "desiree, i'll never quit walking. ever" clicking around and start saving at hilton.com book direct... and get the lowest price online

passed a significant milestone. what have we learned from those conventions? joining me is mary katherine ham and i was there for all eight nights. i want to take you inside my cynical mind. because on the final night of the dnc i looked at the roster of speakers, and i saw someone was listed named kazir kahn and said, every never heard of kazir kahn, they are bringing in a nobody so that hillary clinton can knock it out of the park. then he got up in the roster and here's what he had to say. >> donald trump, you're asking americans to trust you with their future. let me ask you, have you even read the united states

constitution? i will -- i will gladly lend you my copy. >> it was the most stunning moment of all eight nights in my view. and mary ckatherine, now i'm reading the back story and said he did it without notes. will owe react to that gentleman? >> it was a great moment. here's the interesting thing to me about it, this is a muslim couple with a son who is a combat vet who gave the ultimate sacrifice in iraq fighting for his country. they have a pocket constitution. this seems like a couple that maybe in a world of peril not too far from here, george w. bush would have cultivated a relationship with this family because he would have honored that because of their faith. and would have perhaps ended up on an rnc stage, but he was on the dnc stage. and that is a moment that crystallizes the lane that the

trump campaign left open for democrats to have that kind of message on their stage, not on the other stage. >> ellis, i know you probably didn't even get to see it because i'm sure you were watching fox, i say tongue and cheech, and they didn't show that speech live. neither did john allen or the mothers movement. which is interesting because it's now a post-roger ailes world and i guess their branding and their approach is not going to change. >> well, they missed some good stuff there. and what made it powerful, honestly, was the authenticity of it, right? he was a guy talking from his heart about something that had affected deeply his own family. by the way, the other party wouldn't allow his relatives to come into the united states today because they're not fit to be here. it's just an eloquent, simple powerful moment. yeah, really good television, no doubt about it. >> i think mary katherine that both parties had good conventions in so far as they were able to stoke their base.

the one difference i would note is that i thought there was more of an effort. and in particular, i'm thinking of michael bloomberg, but i thought there was more outreach from the d's than the r 's about the independence. >> you have two candidates not frankly likable or popular with the american people. what you surround them with is the question. the dnc showed it had a lot of stage craft, a lot of pageant trithat went off well, at least on tv. i have heard in the room it was more uncomfortable. in the room at the rnc there was a different strategy. that's the difference you'll see between donald trump and hillary clinton the next 100 days. he does donald trump, that's what he does. that's what he did during the convention. she's going to have a lot more strategy and machinery built around her to make up for

deficiencies. and both of them have them. >> tell list, here's a little michael bloomberg from the final night of the dnc. roll that clip. >> i'm a new yorker. and i know a con when i see one. >> look, 42% of americans are eyes, they are not r 's or d's. >> he was far down that list, but reaching into the middle is right. michael, i don't buy the parody argument between the two conventions. one of them was an effective delivery of a message. the other was pretty much of a train wreck, wasn't it? >> well, it was a train wreck to democrats watching it. but i was in the hall with mary katherine, and among the republicans who were there, it had its rough patches, but in the end donald trump vanquished ted cruz. cruz went home with his tail

between his legs and the people who came out of cleveland, whether you agree with them or not, they had their heads on with regard to what they want to do for trump. mary katherine? >> well, cleveland was great but i don't think the convention went off as everyone had hoped it would in their fondest dreams. no, i think i'll give ellis that. it was not a great moment. but here's the thing, when it comes down to it, this is 2016. he got a five-point bump out of it. who knows what happens for clinton? she may get no bump. this is how this year works. >> te >> telliellis, take 15 seconds. your final word. >> we are not going to get a double-digit bump for any of these people. the views are so hardened. i think it will be a mud wrestle until november. >> clinton is walking a tough line. many of the independents who liked the pageant triand patry

yoltism, when they started talking about the liberal policies, they would be back on the right. that's the problem you face. >> in the end, the i's will have it. still to come, your best and worst tweets like this one from susan. don't denigrate intelligence on the american people. we're interested in facts and positions, too. imagine. i know you are, susan. because you are watching this program. i'm anne howard and i'm michael howard. we left on our honeymoon in january 2012. it actually evolved into a business. from our blog to video editing... our technology has to hang tough with us. when you're going to a place without electricity, you need a long battery life. the touch, combined with the screen resolution... a mac doesn't have that. we wanted to help more people get out there and see the world. once you take that leap, that's where the magic happens. if you have moderate to severe plaque psoriasis, isn't it time to let the real you shine through?

can i start with one of my own tweets? take a look at this one, this is my eldest son with me working at both conventions. i am there testing that old adage about which candidate you want to share a beer with. libertarian candidate gary johnson at the dnc passed my test. now here are some of your tweets. what do we have? maureen, the interview with the professor was one of the most

honest points of view i have heard and you cut him off. dishonest media. maureen, i don't think i cut him off. i tell you what, we'll put it online and we can all judge. i would have liked to have gone all day with him because he had a unique perspective, but there are time constraints. what else? joseph who says, the debates will be the highest rated show since "seinfeld" or "friends" finales excluding super bowl. advertisers are doing backflips. parkway, i'm doing a backflip as well. i'm going away on vacation. i'll see you back here in two weeks. u.s. officials now saying it is likely it was russia that hacked 20,000 e-mails. >> wouldn't it be nice if we actually did get along with russia? >> the timing raising questions about whether it was an attempt to influence the u.s. election. >> i don't know what their motive is. do i believe they have done it, that's certainly the way
