the stakes could not be higher. the two candidates will face off in the first debate just two weeks from tonight. we have it all covered. let's begin with senior correspondent zeleny. he is near >> good morning, chris. hillary clinton was set to leave on a three-day west coast swing today. but she is at home in chappaqua this morning on doctor's orders. her health concerns have gone from conspiracy theories to a genuine campaign issue. hillary clinton off the campaign trail this morning as she recovers from pneumonia, canceling a two-day trip to california. his health thrush ee ee ee eed spotlight. this video shows clinton leaving early and as she tries stepping into her van, she stumbles. two law enforcement sources

telling cnn she appeared to faint. then clinton taken to her daughter chelsea's apartment three miles away. more than an hour later, clinton emerged smiling. >> it's a beautiful day. >> reporter: even taking a picture with a young girl before climbing into her motorcade and heading home. she was playing with her two grandkids inside. her doctor revealed the 68-year-old was diagnosed with pneumonia two days earlier after an evaluation for her prolonged cough. despite the diagnosis on friday, she continued a grueling schedule, holding two fund-raisers in new york city, a large national security briefing and press conference along with an interview with our own chris cuomo and other media outlets. donald trump just feet away from his rival unusually quiet after

her diagnosis after speculating about her health for months. >> i don't think she has the stamina. hillary clinton does not have the stamina. watched hillary who doesn't have the strength or the stamina. >> reporter: republicans close to the trump campaign telling cnn, they want to be respectful of the health issue. staff and campaign surrogates instructing supporters not to post anything negative on social media. now, american voters know less about these two presidential nominees than most in history. she, of course, is 68 years old, donald trump is 70 years old. they have both have only released scant information about their medical history. we know more about the secretary's than donald trump. we are two weeks before the biggest moment of this campaign, the first debate. which is two weeks from tonight. that's why this health issue is a real issue and a real concern. chris? >> hey, jeff, brought it into very sharp focus whether you're talking about their health

records or donald trump's taxes. don't have the voters have a right to full information on the person who may be the next leader of the free world? as we mentioned trump so far has been doing the right thing. he hasn't been talking about clinton's health and we don't know what's going on. his campaign, however, is not silent. relentlessly going after clinton for another stumble. not related to her health, but related to what she said. clinton expressing regret after half of trump supporters are "a basket of deplorables." jason carroll joins us with more. jason? >> this is just one of the many points that trump campaign will continue to criticize hillary clinton for in the coming days. she regrets making the comment about trump's so-called "basket of deplorables." she made the comment while speaking at a fund-raiser in new york city on friday night. she told the audience empathy for a number of trump supporters. but clinton took heat for saying that half of trump's supporters

fit into that so-called basket of deplorables who have racist leanings. >> just be grossly generalistic, you could put half of trump supporters into the basket of deplorables. right? the racist, sexist, homophobic, islamaphobic. you name it. >> after an outcry she released a statement clarifying her remarks saying "last night i was grossly generalistic. let's be clear, what is really deplorable is that donald trump hired a major advocate for the so-called alt-right movement to run his campaign and that david duke and other white supremacists see him as a

champion of their values." trump tweeted the following, "wow, hillary clinton was so insulting to my supporters millions of amazing, hard-working people. i think it will cost her at the polls." trump's running mate, mike pence, said she was disrespectful for their voters and more proof thee is unfit to be president. clinton is not alone in expressing regret for comments made out on the campaign trail. trump, who has made a number of comments his critics say are offensive said in a speech just last month that he regrets some of the things that he has said in the past saying that sometimes he just says the wrong thing. chris, alisyn. >> thank you for that background, let's talk about it. dr. sanjay gupta and national political reporter for "new york times" alex burns and washington bureau chief of "the daily beast" jackie kucinich. let's talk about secretary

clinton's health. have you seen the health records or the note that her doctor has released? >> yeah. >> what did that outline? why is that not satisfying to many people? >> it's a summary. two-page letter that is a summary of her health. she had a deep venus thrombosis back in 1998 and back in 2009. >> that's a clotting disorder. >> that is a blood clot in the legs. >> dvt. you can't fly with it and stuff like that. >> it could break off and go to the lungs, that is a pulmonary embolism. she was on a blood thinner at least since 2009 because of that dvt. but the thing in 2012 the biggest concern where she fell and hit her head and had a concussion, a type of brain injury and also developed a blood clot around the brain at that time, as well. >> anything that jumps out at you as particularly abnormal for her age? >> no, i mean, i think the thing

in 2012 is not a common thing to certainly hit your head and certainly develop this blood clot around the brain. there was nothing about it that didn't make sense. she was on a blood thinner already before she hit her head so that was the one thing that was curious. if you're on a blood thinner, you're at more risk of bleeding than clotting. she actually developed a blood clot after that brain injury in 2012. after that, it fits, it makes sense. >> here's the larger question that this raises and raised in a comedic sense with the trump doctor that put out that letter about him. these people, one of them, is going to be the next leader of the free world. do you think we need to know more in general? you know, just like we're going after trump for his taxes. we want to know what you are financially. do you think the time has come in america to know more about the physical well being of the person who may lead you? >> i think absolutely. i think that time was probably come a while ago.

it's remarkable how little we do know about our presidential candidates as i think you're pointing out. it's coming into much clearer focus in this particular election in part because of the age and in part now because of this health issue. whether it's an independent group of doctors separate from their own doctors. a collegiate relationship between the doctors and they're friends. not the objective data that you just would want. so, maybe it's independent doctors back in 2008. senator mccain invited a group of reporters come evaluate his medical records for several hours. i was one of those reporters. that's how he decided to handle it. we know very little about these two candidates and the time has come, maybe the time has come quite some time ago. >> why are you hearing about why the campaign did not disclose that she had pneumonia until after the stumble into the van until after she seemed faint and all that stuff that raised a lot of questions when, had they said

it 24 hours earlier, that would have been answered. >> i think a lot of questions about why exactly the clinton campaign decided to disclose the information at a rather slow pace, not just over the weekend but and diagnosed with pneumonia why not say it immediately after she lost the world trade center site. this is important and sanjay alluded to it here, these are people and private health issues and very personal inclinations about how much they want to share and only so much their staff can do to counteract that. if your candidate doesn't want tashare somethi to share something about their health. >> maybe it shouldn't be their call, though. you want to get a contract to play professional sports with a team, they put you through a battery of physical exams to make sure you're worth the investment minve

investme investment. >> we have to know, we don't know what's going on with them physically. even once they're in office, you don't know. you haback to dick cheney, you would have to have someone like sanjay going in and deep investigating to figure out little clues. that's the larger issue. we get to the good point that alisyn is raising. it's about her health and also about the nature of the clinton campaign disclosure. oh, it was too hot. oh, it is the hyperthyroidism. oh, by the way, she had pneumon pneumonia. that is the criticism, you only hear what they want to tell you when they have to tell you. >> that's why this is an unforced error. if they came out and said she had pneumonia and toughs it out and goes to a 9/11 memorial and she faints, that's understandable. judging by my twitter feed, a lot of people had pneumonia. just that balance that they haven't achieved as to what the

public needs to know that this person is sick. pneumon pneumonia, doctor knows better than i do, it is serious. what they can keep hidden until they absolutely have to until she faints into a van. didn't look good yesterday. >> back to another unforced error. that is something she said. where she talked about trump supporters. instead of talking about donald trump which she has done for many months, she decided to talk about his supporters. let's listen to that comment. >> just be grossly generalistic, you could put half of trump's supporters into what i call the basket of deplorables. right? the racist, sexist, homophobic, islamaphobic. >> this was at a funds ar, in

what campaign playbook is it wise to go after your opponent's supporters? >> she said variations on this before. said something very similar on israeli television last week. >> she wasn't talking about the working man either, right? somewhat of a defined criticism. >> one set of donald trump supporters is this basket of deplorables or whatever you want to call them and the other half you need to take more seriously their concerns about government. i don't know if we're going to see clinton prosecute her own defense here in the way we would have if not for this health incident. i think as of friday evening talking to a lot of democrats, they were very happy to have an argument over exactly what share of donald trump supporters are racist. but if she can't make that case herself in an aggressive and textured way that really emphasizes the more sympathetic part of her statement, i don't know that we'll ever see that play out the way democrats want to. >> very easily taken out of

context. >> it was and it will be used in an ad. we have it this morning. >> there you go. also at a fund-raiser. she's saying it to her rich friends and behind closed doors, even though it is on camera and not to the public. also in terms of the perception isn't that great. >> panel, thank you very much. we appreciate the insight. >> sanjay, thanks for raising the bigger issue of the people who want to be our leaders and when we need to use it. so, hillary clinton's health care certainly a headline for you today. remember on 9/11 she gave an interview on what had happened on that day and her thoughts about isis, how to fight it and why donald trump isn't right to do the job. here's a listen. >> what, unfortunately, donald trump has done is made our job harder. given a lot of aid and comfort to isis operatives. >> so, we always want to know

prior to the line about deplorables, prior to the health scare, hillary clinton sat down with us for an interview about 9/11 and her experience there and her plan and her thoughts on how to keep you safe from the biggest threats facing this country. isis, russia, north korea. and let's now discuss with our panel what happened in there. jackie kucinich and alex burns and joined by political anchor of time warner cable news. here's what she had to say. >> do you think that the next president needs to level with the american people that words like destroy and defeat isis that your opponent loves tause a all the time how quickly it will happen that that is not the reality. the reality is this is generational and there is no quick win against isis. this is going to be a really, really long time.

do you think it's time the american people are told that? >> i think it is time for a candid, honest conversation about what we face because it's not just isis. i actually think that intensifying our efforts against isis could lead tatheir defeo t. taking back the cities they seized in iraq. but that's not the end of the struggle. the struggle is against a violent ideology. we have to protect our country by working with one another. and that most certainly includes the american muslim community. what, unfortunately, donald trump has done is made our job harder. and given a lot of aid and comfort to isis operatives, even isis officials who want to

create this as some kind of clash of civilization, a religious war. it's not. we can't let it become that. >> but it sounds like strength when he says it and people when they're afraid like and need the idea of a strong leader. what do you say to the supporters of him who resonate with that message? >> well, there's phony strength and real strength. and it's phony strength to not know what you're talking about and to make outrageous statements that will actually make our job harder. no matter how in the moment it sounds. real strength is leveling with the american people and making it clear, we will defeat isis. i do believe that. but that we've got to make sure that here at home we're not opening doors to people who feel that somehow they want to be part of this global movement because donald trump has said it's a war between us and them. we are a nation of immigrants and we should be proud of that.

it's a great asset. so we can't let trump or anybody of his undermine our greatest strengths. >> isis. you said focus on baghdad and you also said recently we will not put troops on the ground in iraq or syria to. tell us why. why not flip it and worry about the leader of the organization as well as the home of the problem and get on the ground and make it safe for the people there? >> we have to do both. i do not think putting american ground troops in syria to hold territory, to become occupiers, to try to govern people is at all the right strategy. so, i feel very committed to depriving isis of their

so-called caliphate. that's a huge, symbolic recruitment message that we should pull from them. i also believe that bag ddadi ia central figure in this ideology. and it really helped our efforts to organize against bin laden. now, it's true that al qaeda's not dead, but they are nothing like they were. it's also true that we collected an enormous amount of intelligence in the raid on bin laden's home. so, we've had some big advantages by using as an organizing principle going after the leader that i think would also work to our benefit with bag dad. >> so, what do you hear in there? she went further in terms of why you do have to be on the ground and why yet ground troops should not be part of that formula. >> i hear her trying to steer a

middle course which is what is open the bombays and bomb them into submission and let's just sort of take care of them in that way and the thing that gets democrats in trouble at times which is to say as president obama has said, we've got to make this more like sort of a chronic illness. we're going to sort of control this and the right wing goes crazy when you say that. i hear her as try to steer a middle course and say we will do something that will be satisfying to the public. we'll find the bad guy and kill the individual bad guy, but, yet and still she is trying to place this in the context of a half century of american where diplomatic and military and it is a slow, frustrating process and you have to bring in other nations. it is a tell sell and i'm sure trump will criticize her for not going to the easy solution and say let's go in and bomb them. let's use american force and

power and that will solve all of our problems. what i hear her telling you, that's not something that she will give in to. >> hearing her justification and hearing her justification for why the caliphate and going after it is so important. what did you hear in this interview? >> i think a lot of what errol heard. a candidate who recognizes that she has a persistently in polls an issue on national security and advantage on the issue of foreign policy, but on a really narrow issue of who would you rather have dealing with isis. donald trump has consistently had an advantage. what hillary clinton is trying to do here is give voters something concrete that they could imagine the new president doing differently from barack obama. let's hunt down and kill their leader the way we did with bin laden. give their voters a little different without going as far as dawned trump has. >> maybe a little bit too in the weeds for the viewers, but i was very interested in hearing her pack why you go after bagdahdi.

it's a worm. you chop off one part of it. look at what happened with bin laden. you got rid of him and the baddest man in the world and she says, no, it's an organizing principle. when we did that for bin laden and allowed everybody to get on the same page and focus our energies and take it out and allow the american people to understand what we were doing and why. that's where her head is on these things. >> she's also a student of all of this and she also wants to show the american people she has been in the room. she received a lot of criticism for her time as secretary of state and also needs to turn it into a positive. she's talking about how well she knows these issues. and you can see that by the level of detail she talked to you about this. the more she does that, people can start to picture her as commander in chief, rather than as someone who is running and someone who may have had a checkered record as secretary of state. >> when we were talking and we

wanted to get to the health part. i did not pick up pneumonia. >> did you think she looked a little low in your interview? >> she's definitely dealing with a health problem. we talked about allergys for a while and i'm also an allergy suf sufferer and, again, errol, i don't think the question is how big a deal of her having pneumonia. who doesn't have it these days, but the way they disclosed this. the phasing of it, is that more instructive of what should be an issue? >> i think. i don't know if it should be an issue. but does show how their team works. i saw and i was a little confused by -- >> why wouldn't it be an issue? >> i see all this twitter traffic. why would it take us 90 minutes. should have been ten minutes, i'm not -- >> i'm on all these drugs from having pneumonia. why didn't it work? >> she could have said that.

but my sense of it is that it doesn't matter until it matters. when you have taleave an event you stumble and it's on video and now it matters and let's talk about it. i'm not sure i want to hear about all the aches and pains that each candidate is going through right now. i want to hear about what happens. if she has pneumonia to a point where she has to take stuff off her schedule and leave a high-profile public event, now it matters. should they have just told the press or let the traveling press be there and maybe encourage the kind of relationship so that somebody could have quietly told the press? yeah. she has some health issues and it got to a critical point today and that's why she's leaving. that, i think, is the more important underlying problem. not some sort of formal sense of when does the informantation get let out of the cave. that's why they have a core of media people traveling with her every day. >> is it tame for the core of media journalists to demand the

full disclosure of their medical records. these two candidates have not released as much as all the previous candidates have. why is that not okay? >> i think we are seeing in a lot of ways in this campaign and not just when it comes tahealth. the limitations of what they can force candidates to disclose. if we want to go see their full health records and donald trump's tax returns. we can talk about it every day and make sure voters are aware of what they're disclosing and not disclosing. you hear from a lot of media critics, why don't you make him disclose his tax returns? why don't you make him and her disclose their health records? we can't do that. ultimately if voters decide one or both candidates are not disclosed enough, it's up to them. >> makes you fill out this big financial discloser. why? because they decided over time it's important if there are any conflicts. what matters more than health? if you're going to do that, what

matters more than taxes? if you want to find out if there is a real compromise, look at their health. >> to alex's point, there is only so much the staff and reporters can do. both are very top down campaigns. everything floats from the person who's running. taxes, more medical records, they're not going to do it. nothing that we can do to force them. up to the voters to say if they think they have given enough information at the end of the day. >> all we can tell them is we don't have the full information. here's the best we can do. thank you, panel. that was part of hillary clinton's thinking on isis and also north korea especially in light of the recent tests. they could get a weapon to hit us where we live and we expect it and russia. we'll show you more of that coming up. so, do hillary clinton's supporters think her health will affect her on the campaign trail? the new york congressman will join us with his thoughts, ahead.

hillary clinton's health under the microscope today after being diagnosed with pneumonia. she's seen here stumbling as she got into her van. her campaign has canceled a two-day trip to the west coast. joining us now is democratic congressman jerry nadler who has endorsed hillary clinton. thank you for being here. >> my pleasure. >> people were worried yesterday. voters, you know, just regular

viewers were worried when they saw her stumbling getting into her van and should her campaign have said a day earlier, she has pneumonia? >> ideally, they should have. but i think in this day in age when everything about a candidate's health or anything else is exaggerated, i thought they could avoid doing that. unfortunately, they couldn't. the fact of the matter, healthy candidate and person and she has walking pneumonia and she'll get over it. >> were you with her yesterday? >> a little while before that. >> how was she? >> she seemed fine. i was standing near her at the memorial service. it was very hot and stifling. i could see someone feeling a little faint or something. and i left because i had to go somewhere else just shortly before she did, i didn't see the whole incident. >> someone in the picture of health could feel faint yesterday. i mean, and the punishing pace that these candidates keep up 24/7. i mean, it's incredible the stamina they have.

but that, this video here was really troubling. i mean, watching her stumble a few times and seemingly almost fall to the ground. >> well, when you have pneumonia and you have and it's very hot and you have heat, you could stumble. that could happen. it doesn't mean there's anything significant about your health that is going to go on more than a few days. >> is it time for both candidates to release their full medical records so the voters really know for sure and don't have any sort of voters' remorse in november? >> i think it's time for candidates to release more. hillary has released considerably more medical records than trump has. trump's medical record -- >> it wasn't a medical record, it was a letter from his doctor. >> it was a joke. no real information in it. hillary, you see her cholesterol level. >> dr. sanjay gupta has described it as a two-page summary, but certainly not the full report. >> i think it would serve everybody if both candidates released more. but, you can't compare the two

campaigns. she released a reasonable medical summary and she did not. she has shown her taxes and she has not. so much of this campaign really should be about the fact that he hasn't released his taxes. why do his business relationships with vladimir putin and has he paid taxes? how many people has he cheated? i mean, we know he cheats people all the time. >> his taxes won't reveal that. >> they'll reveal a lot. i wonder what they would reveal. the fact is it has become standard that every presidential candidate releases taxes without doing that and he released financial disclosures. they don't show nearly as much as your taxes do. >> look, we ask for these things all the time. how do we compel the candidates to release more? >> you can't compel it, only the voters and someone said on the show a little white ago, only the voters can. far more important, frankly, than the health results. wae have two healthy candidates, i'm sure, the tax returns.

what would that reveal that we don't know? >> i know you visited 9/11 yesterday as you were saying and what were your thoughts 15 years later? >> my thoughts were what a waste and what a terrible thing. i mean, the lower manhattan has recovered and twice as many people live there and it's economically booming. i also remember, i represent ground zero and i worked very closely with hillary when she was senator from new york and getting the $20 billion in funding for recovery and other things. and in trying to deal with the health impact. and here people don't even talk about it. it was the bush administration and mayor giuliani who are telling people it is safe to go back to work when some of us are screaming don't go back to work. move wall street. we were saying that. it is obvious that the toxins were all over the place and thousands of people are sick today and will die because the bush administration, christy

todd whitman and mayor giuliani said it was safe when all the data said it wasn't safe. >> i know you're fighting for the 9/11 health and compensation act was reauthorized. >> we got it reauthorized. that provides two things. provides health benefits, health care under central health that specializes in all the diseases for 9/11 for all the first responders and the survivors. that is people whalio live downn or happen to be there and provides victims' compensation. >> doesn't it need to be reauthorized in december or no? >> we rethauthorized last december. five years for the victim's compensation. we may have tarevo revisit in f years. >> let's go to chris. we're seeing something evolve in the nfl right now. started one quarterback social injustice but now resonating with a larger audience.

little bit of a stop sign. like we were at the intersection and everyone kind of said, whoa, it's 9/11. let's not have a mass protest here. let's be respectful. we saw that as you pointed out over and over again. there were very few individual protests. and individual actions. signs of disooobeadance or any kind of protest 9/11. what i think we're going to see as a continuation of it next week moving forward. it's not just the nfl, we saw it in high school, college, et cetera. i think it will begin in earnest, again, whatever that means exactly the numbers i have no idea. but i think 9/11 was a moment for many people to pause, which is why we saw the linked arms versus individuals doing things and i think we'll see much more next week and i also believe the nfl has done a very good job so far of threading the needle of saying we prefer, we asked our athletes to stand, but we also understand and respect as all of

us, of course, understand that to respect the rights of any individual in the united states to do what they want to do. the nfl i think has handled this correctly, at least so far. >> how do you see it? the linked arms and a raised fist. do you think this is a trend that we will see grow about personal statements or was this 9/11? >> i think this was absolutely a trend. when kaepernick first came out and did his demonstration a lot of people criticized the means and the methods and a lot of people said it was disrespectful or flat out not going to be effective. he has proven people wrong because, obviously, it is spreading and the fact that we're still talking about this weeks later means it is effective and his message is starting to get across. >> here's the distinction when you wear the ribbon of a certain color or breast cancer awareness, it is awareness. people aren't aware of what a big killer it is, it raises awareness. this is different, christine, because everybody in this country should know what they're

protesting when they're protesting. this is not a secret. so, the question becomes they can link arms and put up a fist and whatever, is this a means towards having the discussion, a meaningful discussion that these types of protests suggest or do you think that's beyond the reach of these players in this league? >> i don't think anything is beyond the reach of the players in the league. whether we agree or disagree with what the athletes are doing, i think the fact is they can do it, of course, is a wonderful, fabulous thing that part of our country. and i have always believed and you guys we talked about this a lot, issues that are in our culture that sports takes us to different kind of conversations and reaches different people and whether it was the horrors at penn state with jerry sandusky or the ray rice video two years ago and the punch and domestic violence on the power of role models and concussions with our kids, not just with our top professional athletes. all these things are so important. i believe any conversation is a

great conversation. if sports takes us and enables that conversation even more, then i think that's all for the good, for not only in sports and for these athletes and individuals and for journalism, but also for the country at large. >> something unsettling happened at the games. this is on 9/11. president obama prerecorded a message about where we are on 9/11 and it was booed at some stadiums. >> it was a fairly standard, vanilla statement for the president addressing 9/11 at a football game. we also had george w. bush come out and do a coin toss and he wasn't booed, which i think is interesting, considering that a lot of these issues have to do with respect for the military. >> is it because of where -- was this a particular stadium where president obama was booed? were these feisty fans or something more? >> sports fans will take any opportunity to boo, so, there's

absolutely that. i believed he was booed in baltimore. but at the same time i think just at this point the nfl has such its own created patriotism that nfl fans take a pride in standing out against things that they perceive to be rubbing up against that. so, i think that's really what that was about. i didn't really like the president's statement was booed. >> new york, baltimore, philly, you tend to get a bigger boo index in those bigger cities. nice to see if the players take the next step and talk about why they're protesting him and what these issues are and what they mean to them. christine, kavitha, thank you very much. appreciate it. hillary clinton sidelined by a case of pneumonia. should she be more --

i have to tell you something. dad,

one second i was driving and then the next... they just didn't stop and then... i'm really sorry. i wrecked the subaru. i wrecked it. you're ok. that's all that matters. (vo) a lifetime commitment to getting them home safely. love. it's what makes a subaru, a subaru. hillary clinton's numoan you jol . it still seems incomplete. >> you can put half of trump's supporters into what i call the basket of deplorables. >> she could walk into this arena right now, shoot somebody with 20,000 people watching right smack in the middle of the heart and she wouldn't be prosecuted. >> they're good, hard-working americans and they all deserve your support. >> neither one of them, both of them are good people.

>> i think his ignorance about putin are dangerous. >> i don't know the gentleman. he's been nice to me. >> this is just more of his loose talk that really doesn't have any substance to it. this is "new day" with chris cuomo and alysin camerota. this video clinton being helped into a van as she left the 9/11 memorial service early. clinton is off the campaign trail canceling a two-day trip to california. was it her health specifically, yes. but why don't we know the health situation of both candidates? don't know the voters deserve to know? donald trump has been surprisingly reserved about clinton's health cascare. we have 57 d
