details and calling on donald trump to do the same as transparency becomes front and center in this presidential campaign. >> secretary clinton, how are you feeling? >> hillary clinton's campaign releasing a two-page letter from her physician, dr. lisa bardack shedding more light on clinton's pneumonia diagnosagnosidiagnosi. clinton continues to improve after collapsing and leaving early from the 9/11 memorial on sunday. dr. bardack said clinton had a chest x-ray last week which revealed a mild, noncontagious form of bacterial pneumonia and she was placed on medication for ten days. her second visit to the doctor in a week. dr. bardack writing, she is recovering well with antibiotics and rest. she continues to remain healthy and fit to serve as president of the united states.
4:01 am
donald trump taking to daytime tv to reveal his version of a doctor's note on the nationally syndicated "dr. oz show." >> i have it right here. should i do it? i don't care. >> reporter: trump handing dr. oz a one-page summary of his exam. >> these are the important -- >> those were all the tests that were just done last week. >> reporter: the document falling well short of detailed information on trump's medical history. >> i feel as good today as i did when i was 30. >> reporter: audience members say trump acknowledged he is overweight and wants to lose a few pounds and doesn't exercise. trump also acknowledged he is on medication to lower his cholesterol. but all this didn't stop trump from taking a jab at clinton's health last night in ohio. >> you think this is so easy. in this beautiful room that is 122 degrees. it is hot and it is always hot when i perform because the crowds are so big. i don't know, folks, do you think hillary would be able to
4:02 am
stand up here for an hour and do this? i don't know. i don't think so. >> reporter: bill clinton campaigning on his wife's behalf dismissed the attacks against her. >> it's crazy time we live in when people think there is something unusual about getting the flu. last time i checked, millions of people were getting it every year. >> reporter: an aide to the former president said he misspoke when he said the flu. he meant to say pneumonia. now, trump will release at least some of his details of his physical exam he received last week. but falling far short of full medical records here. but, alyison the campaign trail that hillary clinton is returning to this morning is a far different landscape than the one she left behind. tied or behind in so many battleground states as well as nationally. >> jeff, thanks so much for all that recording. meanwhile, this awkward moment for donald trump during a stop at a church in flint, michigan. sarah is live at waldorf astoria hotel. what happened in flint?
4:03 am
>> goodern morning, alyison. he did that by visiting flint, michigan, yesterday but he got a little too political for the pastor of the church that he was attending. take a listen at what happened. >> hillary failed on the economy. just like she's failed on foreign policy. everything she touched didn't work out. nothing. now, hillary clinton -- >> mr. trump. i invited you here to thank us for -- not to give a political speech. >> okay. that's good. >> so, you saw the pastor interrupting him there saying they wanted him to steer clear of politics just to talk about flint, michigan. it was one of a couple awkward instances during that appearance. he also got interrupted by some hecklers and, of course, this is the risk for republican presidential candidate when they visit some of these cities. they don't traditionally see republican candidates. donald trump has faced hecklers and protesters as he does this
4:04 am
minority outreach but has gotten some credit for folks who are happy to see him just appear in communities where they don't traditionally see republican candidates. as for today, donald trump will be changing gears entirely. he'll be here in new york city where he is expected to give a speech about the economy and while he's not going to be offering a lot of new details, he will be tying together some of the previous plans he rolled out, whether it's paid leave, child care and also his tax plan and his aides originally said he would explain today how he's going to pay for all this stuff. now they're saying that's not going to come until friday. back to you, chris. >> trump is also going in there in a place in flint, michigan, that is so water quality sensitive and his campaign had been sideways on what to do with the epa and clean water rules. that was playing into that, as well. let's get some perspective right now. chris collins from new york. he was the first member of u.s. congress to endorse donald trump. congressman, always a pleasure. good to have you on the show. >> good morning, chris. and go bills. >> you know, i was going to save that for last. i love the tie.
4:05 am
>> got to start with it. >> you don't feel any divided heart when it comes to the jets and the bills because they're both new york teams? >> the jets play in new jersey, we have the new jersey jets, the new jersey giants and only buffalo is a new york team. >> you know what, that is the truth and that kills me because i am a jets fan, but it's hard. it's a tough game to watch. good tahave yo have you here. let's talk a little politics. you have said health records matter. do you think either of these campaigns are handling this issue the right way ? i know we haven't gotten raw data from anyone except john mccain, but isn't this a unique circumstance? the two oldest candidates that we had running. should they be giving out raw data, not a doctor's letter as we saw from clinton and not a doctor's letter and going on the dr. oz show as we saw from trump. >> you know, chris, from my perspective, i'm fine with the doctor's letter.
4:06 am
you know, as a few people have said, do we need to know every little detail? we need to know they're fit. tell us what medications they're taking, whether it's cholesterol or blood pressure and if they had any operations perhaps. but i don't, i don't know about most americans. i don't want to deep dive every issue. i'm not a doctor. i just want to know a doctor says they're healthy. watching them on the campaign trail should tell you whether they're healthy or not. >> it's tough. they've both been keeping hard schedules and just a question of how we get the information and this should be evolving because no legal standard. that is a growing issue of concern on these campaigns. what do we know? what voters deserve to know. the trump campaign won't put out their taxes and we heard why about the audit. we asked about the audit letter and the campaign accused us of saying donald trump was lying because we asked for the letter. why not put out the irs letter saying he is under audit.
4:07 am
that's not a big deal. >> you and i have talked about this before, chris. i don't think he should release his taxes. there's no requirement there and i really think today with 50 some days left what you've got the public wants to hear more about policy which donald trump is delving into. they frankly don't care to review somebody's colonoscopy or the tax returns. they care about the bigger picture jobs and the economy, security and their own family's worries in this very difficult time. >> one more beat on that then congressman. we'll talk about his child care plan a little bit and some of his financing mechanisms for his plans. you're right, policy matters. conflicts have been a big issue. how will they do the job and will they be compromised? the clinton foundation is nothing that you are hesitant to talk about or the trump campaign is hesitant to talk about. he has these foreign ties that we know exist and a global organization and a private organization and we can't know about any of them unless he
4:08 am
discloses them. there will be relevant -- >> no, his personal financial disclosure is more detailed than any tax return will ever be and that has been released. it shows everything he's involved in, invested in, every business that he's involved in, what monies are owed and what they're worth. the personal financial disclosure which is required by law has been filed and i know, personally, when i file it, it tells people anything and everything they need to know. >> except that it is, it's a deceptively one-sided document. he puts out what he wants to put out. and it -- >> no, you have to put everything out. you have to put everything out. >> right. it's about the detail in which it goes out. we reviewed that thing. it's uncharacteristically thick. there's no question about that. it does not give you the detail on which foreign governments are involved with and which companies have compromised positions within their own governments and those are
4:09 am
important pieces of information. certainly if clinton had that going on in her past, you'd be all over it, wouldn't you? >> if you go to a tax research, it lists the same company. it doesn't tell you who the partners are in the business. if you have a business and you have partners, the tax return doesn't tell you who the partners are, it just lists the name of the business. that is on his personal financial disclosure. every piece of information related to anything, every position he has is on the personal financial disclosure. >> right. except you don't know who's holding his debt. you don't know pieces of information -- >> you don't know that on a tax return either. the debt is listed on the personal financial disclosure. >> the debt is listed -- the debt as an appointment not who holds the note. secureatiz s secureatized by banks and -- >> those notes aren't listed on a tax return either, chris. >> i know. but the tax return tells us other things.
4:10 am
you're making it that is all it will tell us. tell us information about that and tell us about what income that he has and from what sources. there's no question it's there. and there's useful information. he has chosen not and you're saying no legal requirement, you're right. you don't think these questions about conflict and foreign involvement that is so important about the clinton foundation is not as important when it comes to trump. >> well, it's not on the tax return, i don't know why everyone is so hung up on it. that information is not on a tax return. he has disclosed the personal financial disclosure and as a private, i know myself a private interest. i don't want my competitors to know what each and every company i have makes or doesn't make. that's just competitive information that most companies would love to have on their competitors. i actually have always said he shouldn't release his tax returns. >> all right. now, on his child care plan. in similar fashion to a couple
4:11 am
of other mechanisms we'll do it through finding and stamping out waste, fraud and abuse and that's specifically his main funding mechanism for doing his child care plan. in your history in congress, you've never seen anything paid for by stamping out waste, fraud and abuse. everyone promises to do it and then they task congress with going out there and making it happen, it never does. is that enough of a description of how to pay for something? >> well, what i would say is you grow your way to success. a growing economy brings more revenue into the government. a growing economy takes people off some of the entitlement programs. when we do repeal obama care, the multi-hundreds of billions of dollars a year that are being wasted through obama care, both at the personal level and the government level, we're going to have plenty of money to pay for a lot of programs when we get rid of that, the monkey off our back, which is obama care. so, i think it's growing the economy, getting people off the entitlement programs because
4:12 am
they've gone back to work and getting rid of obama care. it's all of the above that is going to pay for some of the programs donald trump is talking about. >> when somebody puts out a proposal and says here's what i want to spend and how i'm going to pay for it, they show it balance budget neutral. he said he's going to stamp out waste, fraud and abuse and that will pay for it. >> something called dynamic scoring versus static scoring. and dynamic scoring takes into account growth and the dynamics of growth and everything donald trump is going to do to bring our jobs back. we see now what ford motor company is going to do. we can probably put michigan into the trump column. bringing the jobs back and manufacturing jobs and grows the economy. all of a sudden we not only can fund infrastructure and other programs but start paying our debt down. we've got to get people back to work. >> congressman collins, always a pleasure. good to have you on "new day." good luck to you and the bills. >> okay. thanks very much. quick programming note, sure
4:13 am
to join us tomorrow. clinton's former rival senator bernie sanders joining us live. go deep with him on what matters to you and what is going on in this race. a university of north carolina football player surrendering to police accused of rape by a fellow student. alan is now suspended from the team indefinitely. the move comes one day after sophomore delaney robinson went public claiming she was sexually assaulted by arest in february. she came forward only after months of inaction by the police and the school. united airlines plane getting the all clear after a security scare. united flight 1243 flying from newark to san diego and diverted to denver wednesday night after crews located a suspifx suspici package. they searched the plane and determined it was safe. passengers reboarded the plane. your next uber may drive
4:14 am
itself. this is a fleet of ford fusions built with 20 cameras and seven lasers and also features an ipad so you can let it know you're ready to ride. uber is hoping the move in part will make ride hailing safer and more efficient. it's very jetsons to me. the future is now. i want to believe it is safer, but so counterintuitive that i don't know yet. how about you? >> nope. >> you don't like it. >> no way. i've been in a couple of the fancy new cars that tell you when you're too close. i don't like it. i want to be in control of my own fate. i want a human being. i think a lot of reactions and things that the technology, to me, i haven't seen proof that it is as compelling. i guess over time it will prove that a machine is always better, but i'm not getting in there. >> horse and buggy for chris. >> no. hillary clinton gets a doctor's note and donald trump

4:19 am
we have duelling doctors letters this morning. this morning donald trump reveals a note to daytime talk show host dr. oz and hours later hillary clinton releases a summary of her health to the public. let's discuss this senior advisors for priorities usa a pro-hillary clinton superpac and former reagan white house political director jeffrey. good morning. jeffrey, are you satisfy would the level of specifics that donald trump has offered about his health? >> sure. alyison, i have to tell you, in had lawnesty, the average american getting up and getting their kids out for school, i don't think they're paying attention. >> voters don't deserve to know what kind of health he is in. >> sure. he is going to release something that was my understanding from kellyanne conway. >> what is he going to release? >> i have no idea.
4:20 am
i don't know. >> what are voters entitled to see? what level of disclosure would you like to see? >> i don't think it has to be every last detail if someone has had a colonoscopy. i don't think we need to go there. >> i did read that word this morning. >> i was watching you do this and so brave and i'll go along with you. >> thank you. but do we need to know their cholesterol level and their heart health, their history and their family of heart history and health and cancer history. >> you know, no matter who is elected, they're human beings. they're not perfect. their health isn't perfect because they're alive and they're almost 70 years old. so, i just think at a certain point, enough is a enough here. one other thing, i would be interested to hear paul's point of view on this. the fact that hillary clinton had this problem so visibly. i'm one of the people who think a picture is worth 1,000 words. that that is going to be a problem for them as opposed to
4:21 am
letters -- >> now we know she had pneumonia. doesn't that solve the problem for you? >> just that that video is everywhere. i think that's a problem for them. >> so you're not satisfied with a pneumonia diagnosis? >> i'll leave that to dr. gupta. i don't want to be playing doctor on tv. >> paul, are you satisfy would inlevel of disclosure that we had from the candidates on their health? >> not both of them. with the letter she released yesterday exceeded the level that we got from president obama a . >> a summary from her doctor. >> look, she has words in there i never even heard. seriously. >> i have underlined some of them. >> great details about the hemoglobin, vitamin b 12, triglyceri triglyceride. >> we're trusting her doctor. >> this doctor is not, you're
4:22 am
not impugning her integrity. >> paul, i'm saying donald trump has also released a letter from a doctor and i think you're skeptical of this one. >> i saw drew griffin's interview and i find him charming. i really do. i think he's terrific. i like characters. i was partner with james carville for 30 years. i like and respect this doctor to the extent that i've seen him. but he has to give us more, trump has to give us more information. the doctor's letter just says he's the bestest most excellent, strongest, he could beat up super man. >> he released a two-page summary. >> with lots of details. like this, this is what we need to know. look, i've worked for politicians all my adult life. they hate this. not because they're hiding something, but all of us like to keep that private. here's the thing, you run for president, you lose your right to medical privacy and financial privacy. i'm sorry, you lose it. we have a right to know. this country elected franklin
4:23 am
rooseve roosevelt and we have a history. by the way, when president reagan was shot, we now learned he was much more grieviously wounded than he let on. not because reagan was a liar but he was a big, heroic figure. >> times have changed. we have a lot more 24-hour cable news channel. >> this person is going to have her finger on the button or his. voters say, we need a check up from the neck up on our politicians. they think they're all crazy. >> but i think you're both agreeing a two-page summary from the doctor would satisfy both of you for both of the candidates? >> no. >> it would me. >> paul, what do you want? >> in addition to that. what i want is a qualified doc who is a journalist, sanjay gupta, for example, to sit down with the candidates' doctors and review the whole thing. not put it out to the public, but some qualified doc in the media who is not working for the politician. mccain put out the gold standard. >> 100 pages of his medical
4:24 am
records and doctors like sanjay gupta sat down and went through it. that's what you're calling for. >> that's what bill clinton did. worked for "new york times" and reviewed all of governor clinton's medical records. but i think it's useful for privacy to have some intermediary. and somebody like sanjay. >> senator mccain is still senator mccain is not because he released his health situation. you know. i mean, he did not become president because he put out this detailed health thing. i mean -- >> are you comfortable with the model that paul is suggesting? everybody disclose everything. an intermediary sits combs through it. >> i don't particularly care and i don't think most americans care. >> should donald trump do that? >> i think the candidates do what they want and then they take the consequences. >> that is the thing, what are the consequences? we have always in my lifetime had politicians running for
4:25 am
president release their tax returns. trump has refused to do so. is he paying a price for that? i don't know. >> no, he's not. i have the answer to that. have we rewarded hillary. the gold standard for -- 30 years of taxes. >> there are new battleground polls out and let's just tick through them. in florida, the battleground polls are now tightening. and here donald trump is ahead in this battleground poll. 47-44 clinton. let's look at ohio because, again, donald trump ahead in ohio, paul. 46 to 41. in nevada, 44 to 42. it goes on. so, how dayo you explain that t battlegrounds are tightening? >> it is a dead heat race. so, yes, i think we should all panic. the public holds us -- >> not i. >> i'm not a fan either. >> i am a very old man, i can remember four days ago when hillary was ahead by ten in the "washington post" poll and now
4:26 am
there are polls where she is trailing because perhaps she is. "new york times" poll has a dead heat. it's a dead heat race. it was when we began. the lovely sugar high for the democrats at the convention. i said so at the time. >> something is working that donald trump is doing with voters. >> it's a dead heat race. >> it is a changed election. and when you're down to these two people, he's the change agent and people see her as for better or worse and sometimes better and sometimes worse, as the agent of the status quo. the obama administration's designated handoff player. that is a problem. when you have almost 70% of the people who think the country is going in the wrong direction. she is the representative of that wrong direction. so, therefore, it makes it easier for him as he goes along. >> the thing to watch are the third and fourth party candidates who have pretty strong appeal, especially with the two constituencies now i'm most focused on. college educated white folks and
4:27 am
hillary was winning and now nearly losing. college educated, no democrat for president has ever won college educated whites ever. hillary has been leading with them. that's why she was leeiading in the polls and trump is doing better with them. the second is millennials. many swooping over to third party candidates. hillary has to do better with them. she has to tell them, look, you have to be strategic. they don't like donald trump. a vote for gary johnson or a vote for donald trump. >> remember, all this stuff that we've just been talking about in terms of her health and that video, et cetera. i don't think any of that has factored into these polls yet. >> paul, jeffrey, thank you very much. great tasee both o see both of . let's get over to chris. the health is relevant, but also about the nature of disclosure by the candidates. you have clinton puts out the doctor's letter. the traditional release.
4:28 am

you can't lead this nation if you have such a low opinion for its citizens. how stupid are the people of the country? we're building a wall-- he's a mexican. you gotta see this guy "i don't know what i said, i don't remember." you're living in poverty, your schools are no good, you have no jobs. what the hell do you have to lose? if you look at his wife, she had nothing to say. she probably, maybe she wasn't allowed to have anything to say. he's a war hero because he was captured. i like people that weren't captured okay, i hate to tell you. you've called women you don't like "fat pigs," "dogs," "slobs," and "disgusting animals." she's a disgusting pig, right? like to punch him in the face. they're losers. loser. loser. disgusting. stupid.

4:32 am
>> why not share your medical records? >> i have really no problem in doing it. i have it right here. should i do it? i don't care. should i do it? wow. >> play to the crowd. master showman donald trump seemingly surprising doctor talk show host dr. oz and his studio audience by revealing some details that he literally pulled out of his pocket. his campaign keeping up the intrigue by saying he wouldn't discuss the results before the taping which airs today. let's discuss trump's televised release and host of "reliable sources" brian and larry hackett. there are different aspects of this that matter. are these people fit to serve?
4:33 am
that matters, no messing around. and how do we know that? and then there is the nature of how they deal with transparency. i think that's what dr. oz goes to. full disclosure, mama's a big fan. she loves dr. oz and a lot of people watch his show. but is this the right way for donald trump to be transparent about something in the campaign? >> this wasn't actual transparency, it was the appearance. he was looking transparent by doing this. we see government officials do that all the time, by the way. try to appear like they're open when they're not. i think it matters because it shows his style and media savvy. some of his campaign aides would have preferred to separate the release and and the dr. oz appearance because it would have made more sense. relying on audience members. >> larry, reality star show and nothing is as good as the reveal on the reality show and he did it. >> dr. oz's furrows brow.
4:34 am
when you watch it over and over again, i never thought health results and wrestling would have the same idea. but it feels that way. i'm bewildered by the idea that he missed this opportunity. on the most vivid piece of all this remains the videotape from sunday of hillary clinton leaving the 9/11 celebration. before that giuliani and other people on trump's behalf were talking about her health. they stopped talking about it and then the message to your point gets mixed. it is about appealing to women and being on the oz show and the maternity leave message on monday and then it gets mixed up with his health results. which, of course, we now realize and we're all talking about don't appear to be that thorough. >> but once she is sick, isn't it unseemly to hit her on her illness. >> we're talking about donald trump and the things he's done in the campaign. i find it odd because it's not in keeping what she has done all along. the moment she appears this
4:35 am
afternoon, all of this will change. the only thing that will matter for the voters is if there is another episode. >> that would be a mistake, again. we're not trying to exaggerate the significance of clinton's spell where she had to be helped into the van. it raises an issue. these people are old by presidential standards of getting in. mccain was always showing up with gauze pads on his face because he was getting cancers removed. so, he took that step and said, take a look at it. there was a sensitivity. if people forget, larry, because there's not a fainting spell, that's a mistake, also. because that's why you don't get the transparency out of thez people, they know it doesn't matter. >> their records got hacked and you have to wonder that there is this kind of bonding that analyzes athletes and tries to keep records on athletes. why don't we have a similar thing when it comes to presidential campaign? they participate in debates and perhaps at a certain point they
4:36 am
should be -- >> i was going to say, a leader of the free world and it is a mystery when they get in office of whether or not they'll be able to complete the service. >> just to flip it around briefly. we're electing a form of government, a party to run the country. i understand that this is the ultimate sort of demonstration of the personality driven coverage. we should be asking questions about both the candidates' health and choosing a democratic or republican party and sometimes gets lost in this personality contest. >> if they go down. god forbid, but that's why you care. you then have kane or pence running your government. >> i was struck by dr. oz's scene because it showed me nothing can take the reality show star out of donald trump. it's not a good or bad thing, it just is what it is. cameras change conversation. this is a different conversation because of the cameras. that's why we don't bring cameras when we all go to the doctor. it's going to change the
4:37 am
conversation we're going to have with our doctor. this was for show. >> let's say, for example, elements in this that are debatable or make people wonder what their health is like. in quotes i read this morning, dr. oz said trump is slightly overweight. he is 237 pounds. so some doctors may disagree with that and say that is more than slightly overweight. if trump or hillary discussing their cholesterol counts. would that become an issue and back and forth. i understand what you're talking about, but the issue is then you give people information, what do they do with it? how do they process it? >> that's why people argue that somebody like sanjay gupta should do what he did with john mccain's health records. go in and then he becomes the lens through which you can see things and process it for what is relevant to share with the public. about dr. oz, that was an interesting choice of a platform. dr. oz has given to gop
4:38 am
candidates, so he might be inclined towards donald trump perhaps. >> not without controversy. >> of course, he's had his own controversy. what about that being the show that he chose. >> a number of questions in dr. oz's past what kind of remedies he makes to his viewers. he is a doctor but a controversial figure and has given donations in the past. i'm sure he was loathe to embarrass or humiliate trump on that stage. not that he wants to embarrass clinton either and i doubt clinton will go on the show because of the two styles between the two candidates. when we see trump on dr. oz and "tonight show with jimmy fallon." let's remember he's choosing not to do hard-hitting interviews. choosing not to appear with interviewers. he referred to himself giving a performance. that's trump in a nutshell and i'm glad we've been reminded of that. >> he may have taken a better opportunity, even if he stood on a treadmill on the oz show. may have seemed ridiculous, but it would have appeared to have
4:39 am
been something where he was more healthy than she was. him telling that he's healthy, no one is going to believe it. they need to see real evidence and that's the problem. >> all about perceived strength. that's the bottom line. >> brian, larry, thank you. all right, so, we've shown you these shocking pictures. this is a man and woman in a car. they have overdosed on heroin and a child, their child, is in the car seat behind them. the child now has a new home just as a new law aims to help addicts. we'll talk about whether or not this will save lives. dr. drew penske joins us live. is caringing because covering heals faster.

they just grab you by the throat and make you pay attention. i guess that's the point of releasing videos like this is to get everyone's attention about this heroin epidemic. >> yeah. the police, even their facebook posts just sort of casually dropped in. look, we ought to think that people see what we see all day every day. there are millions of people addicted to opioids. when you look at the statistics, that's the appearance of it. this is where it goes. in all cases, not like this is something unusual. this is what the police are dealing with all day long. >> those still photos that we just had on the screen we did the story with the police who decided to release that, even though it is ghoulish. they look dead and they're turning blue and the police decided to release it again for public awareness. a woman saw these photos and she took it upon herself to release her on cell phone video of now
4:45 am
this video that we've been showing this morning that we'll show you right here. she took this because it was, yet, another heroin addiction. but this time we get to see the ems responders doing god's work. they saved these people lives. dr. drew, what do you think the upshot of releasing a video and photos like this? does it change something in the fight against the heroin epidemic? >> it doesn't do anything for the people in the pictures. it doesn't have to be an emergency responder to save someone's life like that. now we have access to a medicine that you squirt in someone's nose and they are reversed immediately. people should have these things handy if they're around someone with an opiiod addiction. the leading cause of death in this country is overdoses, one of the leading causes. it is typically the combination
4:46 am
of opioid. we have gotten the message through that this needs to be addressed. so, patients are getting cut off. so, rather than patient s being brought in and saying, look, we have a new problem and they need to be treated. if you take a pill addict and cut them off, they're going to go somewhere to get their drug and that is going to be the cheapest, available alternative and that is heroin. >> what do you think of this new good samaritan law passing in many states and already, i believe, in 38 states. a brand-new ohio law and basically it says that if you're a friend or a relative of a heroin addict, someone who is od'ing you can call 911 without fear of reprisal for that person. that person won't be jailed or punished because you basically just want to save their lives. how is this going to change the equation? >> it's enlightened because it adds to the caveat they must get
4:47 am
treatment. this is the problem, this a medical condition and without treatment it will continue. it changes the motivational systems in the brain. people seem to be shocked and surprised that there was a child in the car here. that's an example of precisely what this disease does. it takes the usual motivations, working, surviving, eating, loving your children and takes those motivations and it eliminates them essentially and replaced by a single motivation, using. all the more usual sorts of phenomenon that we're thinking of as priorities just go away. and that continues unless there's treatment. and treatment is available. it is effective. but it's costly and it takes a long time. >> dr. drew, i want to pull up that video, again. the one from milwaukee that is the video of the couple with the kid in the back seat and the ems responders. this was in march. they saved both of these people's lives, these emergency responders. there is a sad quota to this
4:48 am
story, that is this month the man died of a drug overdose, of a heroin overdose as cnn has confirmed. if someone is struggling watching us this morning, what should they do? >> this is a reminder. this is why this video is so impactful. it is fatal illness. it will progress to death unless something is done to intervene. that intervention is to see a specialist, someone who is specializes in treating addiction or show up at a 12-step meeting and say i need help. armies of people out there who can help you and many alternative ways to approach that treatment. there's no one size that fits all. >> dr. drew, thank you. always comforting to talk to you. >> you bet. >> let's get tachro chris. what are some reliable indicators that they will be fit to be president for the duration of the term?

4:53 am
that's a big word in this campaign. donald trump has made it one. it's a key issue for him. and now he's telling talk show host dr. oz why he feels physically prepared for the job despite his age and relative fitness level. >> if elected at age 70 you will be the oldest person to ever enter the oval office. why do you think you have the stamina for the job? >> just about the same age as ronald reagan, and hillary's a year behind me. i would say, just based on my life. i mean, i've had -- i actually, and i don't know if this makes sense, i feel as good today as i did when i was 30. >> clinton's campaign released another letter from her doctor documenting her recent bout with pneumonia. how much of an issue is age for these candidates and their relative levels of fitness? how much should we care? and what could we know that would actually give you a good guess as to how fit they'll be in office. we have answers. we have our chief medical correspondent dr. sanjay gupta right now and you know you've been pushing this point for several days now. is that this isn't a mystery.
4:54 am
there are things that you can look at that will give you comfort on this issue. >> yeah. i think that's an important point and it doesn't need to be relentlessly invasive or embarrassing. there are serb things in terms of answering this question is someone fit to serve physically and mentally. for example cognitive function is one of those things. is there something cog knitively that you worry about. dementia or anything. nobody's suggesting anybody has that -- >> just things you think would be most relevant. you want to look at cognitive function, physical limitations, terminal disease, need for medication. incapacitating disorders, untreated mental illness. how do you see that when you look at -- any of this stuff when you just look at raw test results? >> it's tough when you look at raw test results because you're getting a snapshot in time. i think when you but the medical records may give you more than you necessarily need or is relevant. so it when you could sometimes work you have an independent group of doctors who look at these medical records and basically try to answer these questions. try to answer these questions in
4:55 am
an objective way. is there anything that might incapacitate the president for a period of time. seizures that are uncontrolled for example? if that were something that were true, that could be of concern or should be disclosed. not necessarily disqualifying. if the person has physical limitations, that physically prevent them from doing the job, again, no one is suggesting that, and you also have 18 months now where they've been campaigning, and you get to see them. >> that's a stress test if i've ever seen one. >> it's gruelling. >> what's interesting is that you were the doctor who did this for john mccain. they produced 1700 pages of medical records, and you sifted through them and decided what was relevant. >> yeah. it's hard. because that's so much information. and they gave us a few hours to do it. but i sort of broke it down into these general categories. i've been reporting on this stuff since the 2004 campaign. and this was sort of a list that i've come up with of things that i think are relevant, not overly invasive. not overly, you know, getting into private territory. but you know voters should at least have disclosed to them about the health of the candidate. >> but then you get into the
4:56 am
real question, which is the transparency. you believe in the dynamic of collegiality that someone's doctor can also be their friend and that may compromise the process. you believe it's time that we have an independent person/body take a look at the data for themselves. >> i think this campaign has put that into clearer focus. this letter that dr. trump -- mr. trump's doctor wrote about him using all this language and subsequently saying hey, look, we're friends, i tried to write the letter in a way that i thought he would like, all that sort of stuff. he may be a fine doctor. i don't know him at all. but if you're trying to write the letter in a way that your patient wants, i think it throws into question the objectivity of it. this is an important matter. so you know, giving it to independent doctors who don't have any relationship with the candidate or looking at this in an objective way and can again without being overly invasive, answer some of those questions. >> i think we maybe are being overly invasive. when i see these results on both sides i read breast ultrasound,
4:57 am
i read colonoscopy. i don't know -- if everything's fine, i don't know if we need to see those results. >> yeah. and those are the results they released themselves. right? this is what the campaign decided to release on behalf -- >> i think you're falling for a trick by them. i think they put that stuff in there -- >> to gross me out. >> see you want it. now you have it. now let's see if you want to read this. and i think we always want more. i'll take more of anything and let me judge. >> -- in other words there's no problems, you do really want to see somebody's colonoscopy? >> do i actually want to review footage? >> yes. >> no, but -- >> but -- >> but here's the problem -- >> it's just -- >> somebody's got a cancer screening -- that's what that is. >> no. i just want to know do they have cancer or not. >> yeah but that's how you know. >> but that's how sanjay knows. i don't know if the public needs to know that it's a result of a breast ultrasound and colonoscopy. just tell me if they have cancer or not. isn't it overly invasive to talk about exactly what tests -- >> some may say how do you know
4:58 am
they don't have cancer. >> right, like a reporter might ask that question. like alisyn camerota -- >> doctors are very similar in this regard. >> you've never heard this level of detail before -- >> we haven't had people this age, we haven't had somebody flop out on the campaign trail. you know, and do it, raises issues. >> agreed. but i like what sanjay's suggesting that you could parse it for us. >> you could parse it for you and if you had independent doctors that have no relationship i think you may be more likely to say i trust that because they're totally independent so whether they say you knows the specific tests or no cancer maybe would be more likely to be met with some sort of confidence. >> you're going to throw on a lab coat and get in there. >> you're squeamish. >> that has been all about them keeping information for us. you've got to like beg for information. you know. and you know if they're going to give you more let's take it. let's take it >> chris is not a doctor but he'll take a look. >> i stay at a holiday inn express a lot so i feel about as qualified as most.
4:59 am
>> sanjay i'm sorry that you had to be a part of -- >> i enjoyed this. >> he raised the awareness. it's time for us to have -- >> -- trigger button. >> i will not touch those words. ultrasound. colonoscopy. >> oh, you just said it again. sanjay, thank you. great to have you here. we're following a lot of news this morning. >> it is hot and it's always hot when i perform because the crowds are so big. >> i felt overheated. i decided that i did need to leave and very quickly i felt better. >> i don't know, folks, you think hillary would be able to stand up here for an hour and do this? >> donald trump's doctor said he'd be the healthiest president in history. that's just not even serious. >> i feel as good today as i did when i was 30. >> everything is out there for folks to see. >> you've got one candidate what's released decades worth of her tax returns. the other candidate refuses to release any at all. >> i will sever connections and
5:00 am
have my children run the company. >> i think it's time he met the same level of disclosure that i have for years. >> this is "new day" with chris cuomo, and alisyn camerota. >> good morning, everyone. welcome to your "new day." first up, hillary clinton set to get back on the campaign trail today after being sidelined for three days with pneumonia. clinton releasing a letter to the public from her doctor declaring that she is quote fit to serve as president. we have a new interview with hillary clinton. she just spoke to our don lemon. >> donald trump is also offering some details about his health. but he's doing it on a daytime talk show. he's doing it on dr. oz. and on it trump is acknowledging that he's overweight. he wants to lose some weight. and he also is teasing a full report that is going to come out from a recent physical soon. the stakes could not be higher. we only have 54 days until election day. in some states voting is just eight days away. so all of this can play into actual votes. and you have 11 days until the
