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 biggest moment of this election,
5:01 am
the first debate. we've got it all covered. let's begin with new reporting from senior washington correspondent jeff zeleny. jeff, what do we know? >> good morning, chris. hillary clinton is heading to north carolina later today. her first trip back to the battleground state in exactly a week. after spending four nights here at home in chap yeah resting and recovering from pneumonia. now her doctor is releasing new medical records this morning which we'll see in a second here. donald trump so far is promising to do so. all this is happenings at transparency or the lack of is suddenly front and center in this presidential race. hillary clinton's campaign releasing a two-page letter from her physician, shedding more light on clinton's pneumonia diagnosis. it says clinton continues to improve after nearly collapsing while leaving early from the 9/11 memorial in new york on sunday. aides initially said she
5:02 am
overheated. dr. bardac now says clinton had a chest exrea last week which revealed a mild, noncontagious bacterial form of pneumonia. the doctor writing she is recovering well with antibiotics and rest. she continues to remain healthy and fit to serve as president of the united states. >> why not share your medical records? >> donald trump taking to daytime tv to reveal his version of a doctor's note from a recent physical on the nationally syndicated "dr. oz show." >> i have really no problem in doing it. 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. >> so these are the reports -- >> those were all the tests that were just done last week. >> reporter: the document falling well short of calls for more 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
5:03 am
overweight, wants to lose a few pounds, and doesn't exercise. trump also acknowledged he's 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. >> oh, you think this is so easy? in this beautiful room that's 122 degrees. it is hot! and it's always hot when i perform because the crowds are so big. i don't know, folks, you think hillary would be able to 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's something unusual about getting the flu. last time i checked, 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 she had the flu. he meant to say pneumonia. >> now advisers to donald trump say he will release at least some of those results from that exam from last week. but far short of what any recent
5:04 am
presidential candidate has done in a campaign. he, of course, is 70 years old, hillary clinton, 68, turning 69 next month. she is winning the transparency contest right now, chris and alisyn. but up next is taxes. i am told by an adviser to the clinton campaign this morning she is going to press donald trump on his failure to release his tax returns. that is the next volley here in this transparency fight in the presidential campaign. >> jeff, thank you for that reporting. all right cnn's don lemon just spoke to hillary clinton in a new interview for the tom joiner morning radio show and don joins us now with what she had to say. thanks so much for coming in. >> good morning. it's early. >> it is early. but so you, you covered soup to nuts with her. >> yeah. >> tell us about it. >> she's really as jeff said she's tieg this whole thing whether it's medical records, e-mails, whatever in this transparency angle, this bubble that she's doing. she's saying every time i talked
5:05 am
to, asked her about the medical records when she's going to release them, what her comments were about what colin powell said about her she turned it around to she's concerned about hacking, but she's also concerned about transparency. she said she's been more transparent than donald trump. here's hillary clinton. >> i have to ask you about something that's new in the news. the former secretary of state colin powell in his hacked e-mails has criticized you and your quote, this is his saying, minions, for trying to drag him into your e-mail server problem. he concludes by saying quote everything hrc touches, she kind of screws up with hubris and that's the end of the quote. how do you answer him, and critics, who say whether it's your e-mails or disclosing your health issues or even pointing out trump's flypaper-like ability to attract racially insensitive or deplorables as you call them, somehow the message gets screwed up? >> you know i have a great deal of respect for colin powell. and i have a lot of sympathy for anyone whose e-mails become public. i'm not going to start
5:06 am
discussing someone else's private e-mails. i've already spent a lot of time talking about my own, as you know. what i think is really important about niece e-mails, is the chilling fact that the russians are continuing to attempt to interfere in our election. and, you know, you have to say, i'm increasingly concerned by how we've seen donald trump's alarming closeness with the kremlin become more and more clear over the course of this campaign. it's deeply concerning, and there's a lot that trump should answer for. because these attempts by russia to interfere in the election, are ones that go right hand in hand with his closeness to the kremlin, his flattery of putin, and it's not just me that is noticing this, it's fellow republicans of foreign policy and national security
5:07 am
experience, nato leaders, so i'm going to keep, you know, raising the alarge about russian influence and that, of course, raises questions about who trump actually does business with. >> can i -- can i just follow and say that by hubris he's saying that you're -- you're stepping on your message. he's insinuating that you step on your message through hubris or arrogance or not being transparent. how do you respond to that specifically? >> again, i'm not -- you know, i'm not going to comment on anything that is said in a private e-mail. >> and even to critics beyond the former secretary? >> well but i think i've worked very, very hard to be more transparent than not just my opponent, but really in a comparison to anybody who's run, you know, the medical information i've put out. and we're going to put out more. meets and exceeds the standards that other presidential
5:08 am
candidates, including president obama and you know mitt romney and others have met. my tax returns are out there, 40 years of transparency about my tax returns. so i think that the real questions need to be directd toward donald trump, and his failure to even meet the most minimalistic standards that we expect of someone being the nominee of one of our two major parties. >> do you know when your medical records are going to -- the rest that you said you'll release because he says he's releasing some soon. do you know when you're going to release the rest of yours or more information? >> more information i think will be very shortly. because, you know, we really want to respond to legitimate questions that people might have. i'm very touched by the concern that's been set forth about my health. i'm really glad that i did finally follow my doctor's orders and take some days to rest.
5:09 am
powering through.rying to keep - which i think is common experience for people. so we're going to put out more information, and that will be then, twice as much as he put out. and we'll see what, if anything, he's willing to disclose. >> secretary hillary clinton, we're going to take a break, and then we'll come back. >> disclosure transparency. big words coming up here. let's bring in don lemon also joining us cnn's chief medical correspondent dr. sanjay gupta. we'll talk health. we'll talk the politics here. she was very directed in her answers to your questions don, what did you pick up? >> first before we get there because i have sanjay here. when she started talking the first thing i noticed was that she didn't sound the way she sounded this weekend in the interview with anderson, right? she sounded like, hi don! this is the answer to my question, i don't know if that was deliberate but she did sound stronger and everyone who is on the tom joyner morning show said
5:10 am
you do sound stronger. that was recorded yesterday. but she seemed to, you know, intimate that she's going to release more records as she did yesterday a doctor's letter. but i'm wondering from sanjay what else can she release? is there more? >> the big question has been, look, are you going to release records? are you going to release essentially what is a summy done by someone's interpretation of those records who happens to be someone who you're collegial with. your doctor/friend sort of person. again it's not to suggest that's what's in those summaries is inaccurate but sometimes the reason you look at medical records, because you don't know what you don't know. you don't know -- and so there are certain questions that come up. first of all, to answer your question, i doubt we're going to see anything more. i don't know that we're going to see anything more from her -- >> raw data. >> raw data. >> i don't know if that's going to happen. but that's been sort of the big question, basically they've met the standard that other campaigns have had in terms of what they have -- >> except john mccain they really have. >> but you know the idea of releasing medical records and letting someone independent look at those things and just making
5:11 am
sure that all the questions that determine if someone's fit to lead are answered. >> let's bring in david gregory, cnn's political analyst. david, what did you hear in don's interview? i mean she touched a lot of bases. she talked about russia, she talked about taxes, she talked about colin powell. what did you hear? >> well i want to come back to russia in just a second. sanjay said something earlier that i think is really important. i think you want as much information as you can get, and to your point, alisyn, you may not want, i have images here of my medical results. shall we show them? >> no, thank you. >> i know. but the point is, to sanjay's point you don't necessarily have to do all that but you want somebody who is independent who can do this kind of review. mccain is different. he had cancer. he had melanoma. but i think more information is better than less. i keep getting caught up in hillary clinton's argument that she wants to be compared to donald trump. that's not the standard. his disclosures are insufficient. i think that can be said objectively based on precedent in a presidential run. but she should be still
5:12 am
releasing more, and the -- she should be compared to what is reasonable in this regard. and as much as you can put out is appropriate and should be independently reviewed by people like dr. gupta, and others who have done it in the past who can make a judgment. the russia piece is interesting because i think it's very good politics. it happens to be really frightening that russia is going to the lengths that it's going to potentially influence the election. to hack top people in the country in positions of authority, to hack their e-mails. that should be a significant concern. just as cyber terror and cyber crime should be a concern more generally in our national security. >> there's another part of the interview that airs. it's probably airing now because they took a break in -- where she talks about her deplorables comment where she doubled down on the hate and the alt-right and what she this donald trump is attracting -- >> she's not apologizing -- >> she's not apologizing. she in fact used the word deplorable herself. she said i have criticized his deplorable -- i have criticized
5:13 am
his deplorable campaign. she's doubling down on that -- >> it's the 50% she said she overreached. >> i think she's pushing back because she this she's right on this issue. and i think she -- people were a little bit upset that they you know she appeared to back down a little bit. so she did discuss that. but she keeps pushing transparency, russia, donald trump is not transparent as she is, russia or at all she doesn't believe less so than any other candidate and she is not again not backing down really doubling down on the hatred that she believes he's stirring up -- >> that's different. the deplorables is about his own campaign and what he has said is different than what she said about his supporters. i mean that's where people thought it went a bridge too far. did she say anything about his supporters or was she just talking about the campaign he's running? >> she said his campaign. she didn't say anything about his supporters. >> i think that's different. >> it's always bad as you know, coming from a political family, to you know, say bad things about voters even if they're not your supporters. >> you don't attack -- >> attack a campaign but not the voters. >> just a human being, when you
5:14 am
attack somebody's support base in anything you're making a mistake. especially what we've seen learned in the primaries here that when you disrespect trump, that's okay if it's on the merits. when you disrespect people for believing and wanting change and being angry about status quo you wind up being -- >> i also spoke with her about the polls and she said you know, standard answer, i've always thought this campaign was going to be close. that's what she said. but you know when you consider that hillary clinton you know history, her resume, what she's done, how long she's been around i mean you know objectively you should say she should be further ahead in the polls. in a political -- >> except the gop this is their race to win. >> yeah. >> cyclically this is their race to win and many argue she's -- >> hertz to lose. >> that's right. well that was the presumption now in this period, it can go either way. and many people suggest yeah she should be beating trump because of her resume but if she'd been running against a john kasich she may have had more than she could handle well before this point. >> exactly. >> david, what are -- >> i'm just looking at our banner when she says that she always knew it was going to be a
5:15 am
close race. no that's not true. i was looking at videotape just earlier on youtube about she and others in the media saying that trump was -- was a joke that he wasn't a serious candidate. so you can't say you always thought it was going to be close. and the reality is in going after some of his supporters, some of which is certainly accurate in terms of the views of some of his supporters, whether they're anti-semitic or racist or homophobic or islamaphobic, that is just true. and the truth is that trump has not stood up to some of those people. anti-semites, for example, given the fact that he has a jewish grandson, and has not stood up to those people within his own campaign. so, she's got reason to do that but the point is, it's glossing over the fact when she made a comment like that -- >> he has a jewish daughter. she converted. >> precisely. -- and as you know i mean converts in the jewish held up above all in the bible. but the point is there are certainly there are factors here about the support for trump that go well beyond that. and of course nobody likes to
5:16 am
believe about themselves that they may be biased or racist, or in any way and so that's why that just kind of missed the mark on her point of what she was trying to say. >> we have that part david let's listen to it. >> donald trump has run a deplorable campaign. he has accepted support and been cheered on by the likes of david duke, the former grand wizard of the ku klux klan and other white supremacists. in fact, it was amazing the other day his running mate, mike pence, wouldn't even call former kkk leader david duke deplorable. and, and i do think we have to speak out against this hatred. you know trump attacked a federal judge for his mexican heritage. he -- he bullied a gold star family because of their muslim faith. he promoted the lie, and he still is promoting the lie, that our first black president is not
5:17 am
a true american. >> hmm. >> he calls women pigs and bimbos. so, -- >> yeah. and it's true and that's you know i don't think that maybe the trump campaign is a little bit tone deaf they they at least they say that they don't think that the birther thing is a big deal and what's important to african-americans are jobs and whatever. of course that's important. but, by doing what donald trump did with the birther thing, taking it beyond wherever it started, sending people to africa, investigators at least him saying that, doubling and tripling down on that, and then saying he didn't believe the birth certificate was accurate. that insulted 99.999% of african-americans. he may not see it as racial. maybe that was not his intent. i don't believe that -- i do believe that that was -- that was the result, whether or not that was his obvious intent. and so that's insulting to african-americans and he still has yet to apologize for that and i think that is going to hurt him when it comes to black support. >> he apparently still believes
5:18 am
it. he not only has apologized there's no indication that he doesn't still believe that. >> rudy giuliani and his surrogates say he believes the president was born in the united states but he has yet to say that -- >> right. >> the point is that i think don as you point out this was absurd that he ever would advance this notion and he wants to be president of the united states. what's interesting to me, you're interview with hillary clinton and what she said how she broke down those examples they've got an ad up i don't know if it's in the battlegrounds, it was certainly on national cable i saw it on our air in which she take his criticism of her, that she's insulted you know segments of the electorate, which she did in that basket of deplorables remark, and then shows all of the examples that she listed to you and says, right, we agree with him exactly you shouldn't do that. so i think she's willing to take her lumps, that this was something that she shouldn't have said. she offended some people. but, you know, whether it had some resonance in the polls against her we're going to find out. but she's trying to counterpunch here by bringing up all these areas where he said and believed
5:19 am
what he believes. >> david, sanjay, don, thank you don thanks so for sharing that interview with us. all right the trump organization and clinton foundation under the microscope today so we're taking a closer look at both of them this morning starting with what should happen to donald trump's organization if he is elected president. we discuss that next. 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.

5:23 am
bunch of his fans on the tom joyner show they do the radio show together and they interviewed hillary clinton. there's a lot of interesting takes in it about transparency and what should be the state of play in this election. let's discuss with a little focus on this new comparison of the clinton foundation, and the trump organization. what should happen to the trump organization? donald trump talked about it this morning. he said if he's trez, take a listen. >> well i will sever connections and i'll have my children and my executives run the company and i won't discuss it with them. it's just so unimportant compared to what we're doing about making america great again. i just wouldn't care. now i guess you could say there's a conflict because as the company -- as the country gets stronger that's good for all companies, right? but i wouldn't care. it's so unimportant compared to what i'm doing right now. >> all right so that's the first time we've heard trump say that he would step away from his organization in any way. he suggests it wouldn't matter because the natural conflict would be that the rising tide
5:24 am
would raise his company again. that is not the consideration of conflict so let's discuss. we have senior adviser to the trump campaign boris epstein and we have new york's city council speaker and hillary clinton supporter melissa mark del rio. good to have you both. >> thank you. >> transparency, what we know and what it shows. that's the topic for debate. hillary clinton just did an interview with don lemon. she says boy there's a lot of talk about what i put out. not as much talk about what he puts out. let's look at the clinton foundation. you know all this information about it, you rake me over the coals about pay for play. the trump organization won't release any information about what's going on. >> let's be clear. there's no comparison here. you're talking about a nonprofit charitable organization that is giving millions of dollars away as opposed to a for-profit company that is benefiting from business ties in other countries. and can put the security of our country at risk. let's be clear about one thing. this individual donald trump is
5:25 am
receiving intelligence briefings as we speak, and yet he has these interests in this organization as a company which is for-profit. that should be of concern to any voter. and so this is a real difference. you can't compare a for-profit company with a nonprofit charitable organization. >> one thing, you know, as, as a lawyer, you know, and somebody who has a mind for making the case, i feel like disclosure would be to his benefit in this situation because there's a lot of cloud of mystery, you know, why doesn't he remove it so you don't have to deal with those allegations? because you can prove the what connections are there and aren't. >> there's a couple points here. first what you said in the open, donald trump has been specific that he would step away. he said that in the debates during the primaries. >> should be stepping away now. >> let me finish. i let you finish. as he said in the open -- first time that he said he would put his business in the blind trust and the kids will run the business. that's one. >> just to be fair. he never said he would step away. a blind trust doesn't work here because blind trust -- no blind
5:26 am
trust as we both know when you put something in a blind trust it's because you don't know what's in the trust. he would know exactly what's in the trust because it's his company. >> a blind trust in this instance would be that you don't have any part of running. that's one. let me go to the point. of course, there's no -- hillary clinton used her position as secretary of state for her family to get wealthier and wealthier. for billion clinton to make half a million dollars for 90 minute speeches in moscow and for her to sell access to a man not even allowed in the united states but gave millions of dollars to the clinton foundation and pledged billions to the clinton global initiative. donald trump is a businessman. he's an uber successful businessman. the whole country knows that. that's why he's up by six points in the latest "l.a. times" poll. the country knows ease successful and pragmatic and that's a big part of appeal. 104 pages of a financial disclosure form which fully discloses all his businesses and everything mandated by law, rules and regulations. hillary clinton has not done the
5:27 am
same. with her 30,000 e-mails that she lied about -- >> we should also look at how he currently runs his campaign. >> why? >> average working-class people that support trump are basically paying for him to be able to have his events at events -- >> why do you say that? >> this is -- he is -- the way he is running his campaign is a reflection of how -- >> what proof do you have? >> i'm sorry, has he not used his campaign money to pay himself -- >> he's given -- >> hold on. >> -- pay himself because his corporate headquarters are in a trump building. has he not used campaign money to pay himself because events are being held on mar-a-lago and other of his property. has he not paid campaign money to himself for the caps and all the other things that he is producing so these are these are reality. the way he runs his campaign is a reflection of how he would run as as president. >> absolutely not true. >> but you're very true -- >> you're wrong. >> as you know it under federal
5:28 am
election he has to pay for those, you know, for the places he uses. for the events -- for -- >> and happens to have some -- >> and he's given over 60 million dollars of his own money to his campaign. which far outstrips the money that was paid to the event spaces and for the office space. it's been a big part -- >> how about the charitable contributions -- >> you're just throwing things in there that don't make any sense. he's someone who has been very successful. he's somebody who most people know would be good for this country because he's been good for business, good for his partners. of course he's going to use trump tower and mar-a-lago. that shows the american people this is someone who's been very good at what he does and he'll be good for the united states of america. the left is desperate because they're losing in ohio and florida and nationally and now they're throwing any line of attack -- >> race is very close we know that. but here's something. let's put aside why he doesn't use you know david frum jumped
5:29 am
on him by using mar-a-lago. he could have used a cheaper space -- that's fine he gives money to the campaign. >> more than -- >> he's a billionaire he says if he wants to give his money that's up to him. what i'm saying is, because the polls are so close transparency has come more into focus. that disclosure form is not enough. it does not tell you the granular nature of who he's doing business with abroad, and what could be potential clon flikts. it does not tell you who is holding the debt on his things that's been secure ittized. there are allegations that deutsche bank stole these loans allowed to do -- >> he's not a debtor on -- >> but his businesses are. >> he doesn't have any personal obligation on those loans. >> but he does have personal interest -- >> his ownership in those businesses is also not at all obligated on those loans. >> then who is obligated. >> that's the way he's negotiated those deals. that's why he's a great
5:30 am
negotiator. >> anybody knows that you only take the loan if you have collateral. the collateral is going to be the land underneath it. he's got an interest that land. >> if you and me own a property together 50/50. i could contribute money. i'm obligated for all the debt. that's just good negotiating and that's standard business procedure as a lawyer -- >> can i -- >> for this campaign and -- >> we have no tax returns. we have no medical disclosure. we have pay to play clearly demonstrated. >> no you don't. >> yes we do. >> that was debunked by "the new york times" today. >> the "newsweek" investigation. -- being investigated. charitable investigation being investigated. there are serious concerns. >> the councilwoman is incorrect. >> the security of this nation is apparently at risk with a trump presidency. >> -- about the e-mail service. >> spirited discussion. >> thank you, sir. >> good to have you both. >> chris up next the clinton

5:35 am
the clinton foundation announcing a series of major changes that would go into effect if hillary clinton is elected president. the foundation, of course, has come under some scrutiny over its practices when hillary joining us now is the president of the clinton foundation, donna shalala. she's also served as secretary of health and human services under former president bill clinton. great to have you here. >> and ran a bunch of universities in between. >> that's right. >> i just want to point that out. >> you have quite a resume. we are familiar with your credentials. let's talk about these changes that have now been agreed to by the clinton foundation if she is elected president. only accept contributions from u.s. citizens independent charities. not accept contributions from foreign individuals, governments, corporations or charities. former president bill clinton would resign from the board of directors the foundation's international work would
5:36 am
transition to other organizations. so i mean i guess that begs the question if this is important if she's elected president, why weren't these changes necessary when she was secretary of state? >> well, it was a different situation. there was a process set up to approve foreign donations during that period. but when she's president, there's no process you could set up that would limb nature conflicts of interest. so we actually have to reduce the size of the foundation and what it does. but here's the important point. the president has reinvented philanthropy. next week we're going to have this huge, annual meeting, the clinton global initiative. it's already had an impact on 400 million people around the world. it brings together corporation, international, many of them, with not for profit, there will be some heads of state there, too. but it does commitment. and each of these corporations steps forward with a not for profit distribute packet for instance to clean water, lots of
5:37 am
different kinds of initiatives that improve education, and health, and opportunities for people around the world, and in doing that, the president has done a different kind of philanthropy than anyone else has done. >> and i don't think that anybody is disputing that the clinton foundation and the clinton global initiative has done great work. >> great work. >> magnificent work around the world for all sorts of people in need. what the problem is, is that there does not seem to have been a real firewall between the clinton foundation or cgi and the state department and we have all sorts of examples now of the times that those line were crossed so that's the problem. >> but there was a process set up to make sure those lines were not crossed. so i dispute -- >> -- failed -- >> i dispute the point. because we have protected and during that time we protected the initiatives of the foundation. there's no question about that. but you can't do that when she's president. what you have to do when she's president is we have to actually eliminate any aspect of conflict of interest. so all the international
5:38 am
programs that spun off what the president has said is we have to spin them off in a way that doesn't hurt people. the programs have to be seamless in their transition, and what will be left is the centerpiece of the foundation, the library, the clinton center in little rock, and maybe a couple of domestic programs, ones that helped babies. >> sure. >> but i mean with all respect, how can you dispute that the lines were crossed. we have evidence of it from the e-mails. >> there's no evidence that policy was impacted by anyone's requesting an appointment. so, let me dispute any indication that mrs. clinton's behavior on policy was changed in any way. the most important thing is, this is the magnificent foundation that has reinvented philanthropy from malawi to haiti to cartagena, we're doing spectacular work and we have to make sure that that work continues. but not under the clinton
5:39 am
foundation's brumbrella. >> let me show you an example of an e-mail that made people think that lines were crossed. this is an e-mail to doug bond one of the top executives at the clinton foundation to huma abedin at the state department he says we need gilbert, chagoury to speak to the substance person regarding lebanon. as you know he's a guy guy there and to us and is loved in lebanon very important. it's jeff feltman i'm sure he knows him i'll talk to jeff. doug band says better if you call him. now preferable. this is very important. >> guess what that never happened. it never happened. i don't care -- i don't care who asked for what, it never happened. it just did not happen. >> were you comfortable with the clinton foundation executives asking state department officials for favors and access? >> you know, no one should -- no one should cross any line -- requesting a courtesy meeting when i was secretary of hhs for
5:40 am
instance, by a republican senator, was not unusual. and any cabinet officer knows that members of your committees will call up and say hey listen i've got this guy that's got a way of saving money in health care, so, will you see him as a favor to me? >> so business as usual is what you're saying. >> no, and business as usual is not acceptable anymore in government because we have better disclosure that we've ever had before. the clinton foundation is totally transparent. you could see our tax returns, you can see who our donors are. we reveal our donors quarterly. you can't find a charity in this world that reveals their donors quarterly. >> i know that you're on record i think as saying that chelsea clinton should continue on with her role at the clinton foundation even if hillary clinton is elected president. >> let's go back to what we said is going to be the clinton foundation in the future. the library, and the clinton center in little rock, and maybe a couple of small domestic programs.
5:41 am
chelsea decides she wants to stay in the foundation board to keep an eye on her father's library, among other members of the board, i mean, the centerpiece is going to be the presidential library. no one is going to tell us to get rid of the presidential library, or to eliminate any kind of formal governance for the presidential library -- >> so no conflict of interest in your mind if chelsea is there and seeking donations or things like that even if her mom is in the white house. >> well, but remember, what we've said about donations. no foreign governments, no foreign cribiters, no foreign foundations, will take money from independent foundations for dates of the people that have been giving rockefeller people who have been giving us foundation. and from individuals who have contributed to the library and the library has a number of contributors over the years. >> there is a found raiser coming up i believe tomorrow. and it's in honor of president clinton's birthday and there will be a fund-raiser for the
5:42 am
clinton foundation. but i think you've said that they will not disclose what amount is raised or from whom. >> we will disclose the donors, there's no question about it. we will disclose the donors. we will, as we do on our tax return, disclose the money that we raise, the tax -- the irs tells you actually not to connect the donation with the person's name. but we certainly will disclose the donors, and listen for that party, i looked at the list, and other than two people, all of them are people who have been annual donors to the foundation and are longtime friends of the president. the two people are my guests who i paid for who are formers in north dakota my twin sister and her husband. >> founds fun. secretary shalala thanks so much for all the information and explaining it to us here on "new day." great to have you in the studio. >> busy morning. busy morning here on "new day" especially as the election is
5:43 am
concerned. you've got hillary clinton's strong words about hate in the campaign. you've got new revelations about what will happen to the trump organization if trump is elected. we're going to discuss all that with david gregory next. beyond has a natural grain free pet food committed to truth on the label. when we say real meat is the first ingredient, it is number one. and we leave out corn, wheat and soy. for your pet, we go beyond. hhi.o. welcome. this is the chevy malibu. it was awarded "most dependable midsize car" by j.d. power. it looks great. wow! what is happening? oh my gosh, it's going up! but the malibu's not the only vehicle that was awarded. this is mind blowing. the chevy camaro, equinox, and silverado hd

were awarded most dependable as well. this is extremely impressive. there's so many! doing it once, yea, great job, four times, obviously, they're doing something right. absolutely he's a race-baiting, xenophobic, religious bigot. sage. donald trump is a phony, a fraud. he's not a serious adult. i can't vote for donald trump given the things that he said. trump should not be supported. i believe he's disqualified himself to be president. i just cannot support donald trump.

i rent this place and then i started home sharing. my roommates help out all the time. they are glad to meet the guests and that opportunity that airbnb has given me is such a priceless gift. i was able to take three months off to take car of my family during a family tragedy. the extra income that i get from airbnb has been a huge impact in my life. keeping the power lines clear,my job to protect public safety, while also protecting the environment. the natural world is a beautiful thing, the work that we do helps us protect it. public education is definitely a big part of our job, to teach our customers about the best type of trees to plant around the power lines. we want to keep the power on for our customers. we want to keep our community safe. this is our community, this is where we live. we need to make sure that we have a beautiful place for our children to live. together, we're building a better california.
5:47 am
all right. the polls are tightening no question about that. the debate is heated. that's always been true. this morning we heard from both candidates, and there are lots of headlines about them. the organization sharing their name. especially let's talk about the impact with david gregory cnn's political analyst. we have some sound from hillary clinton's interview with don lemon and the cast of the tom joyner radio show. let's play what seemed to be her punctuation mark. >> i am so concerned about all of this, and you know, i have said donald trump has run a deplorable campaign. he has accepted support and been cheered on by the likes of david duke, the former grand wizard of the ku klux klan and other white supremacists. in fact it was amazing the other day, his running mate, mike
5:48 am
pence, wouldn't even call former kkk leader david duke deplorable. and i do think we have to speak out against this hatred. you know, trump attacked a federal judge for his mexican heritage. he bullied a gold star family because of their muslim faith. he promoted the lie, and he still is remoting the lie, that our first black president is not a true american. >> hmm. >> he calls women pigs and bimbos. so, i'm going to keep calling out the bigotr and hateful rhetoric that he's brought to this campaign because i don't think you can make our country great by tearing our people down. >> now, david, you can debate how much has been done on coverage of trump. that's for people to decide. however, the polls are where they are. does that tell you that people who know still don't care? >> well, i think there's an element of that. i mean i don't know that we can back that up by the data.
5:49 am
but i do think just -- look anybody looks at a politician and says look i don't agree with everything but i still support them. i think there are people who willfully ignore certain things that trump says and focus on what they like about him. i think that's true. i think hillary clinton is in a posture and you saw it in that answer which i thought was revealing. first of all she wants to sidestep the fact that she did impugn a lot of trump voters in a way that was inartful. it may have been accurate in certain -- based on some of the surveys that we've seen about attitudes of trump supporters and other anecdotal information that we have. but you know, her whole slogan rhetorically is that we're stronger together. and that was not an example of that when she was in that fund-raiser. there she's saying no i'm going to speak out against hateful speech about the fact that he's a birther, that david duke is behind him. i mean i think this is her getting a little bit more aggressive. i think this is a preview of the kind of hillary clinton that we'll see during aspects of these presidential debates. and another thing chris and alisyn, she also wants to show a little bit more fight, as she
5:50 am
wants to give that core group of supporters, millennial voters, african-american voters, and women and others to get behind her and get more enthusiastic so that everybody understands this is a tight race. whether it should be or not. from their point of view, it has become a tight race. >> david, we just had secretary shalala on who is now the head of the clinton foundation. and she said no problem i mean she basically announced the changes that will be happening president clinton will be stepping down if hillary clinton is elected but chelsea clinton will continue to be involved. any problem or issue with that for voters? >> well i mean people may have an issue. we'll have to see. i mean again i think the foundation business, and any conflicts of interest goes to the heart of what people don't trust about the clintons, plural, not just hillary clinton. kind of self-dealing, insider business. it's always been a question what role will bill clinton play in a clinton white house. it's unusual. it's unprecedented. the foundation speaks to that. a lot of people will look at this if they have a concern and will see satisfactory answers in terms of no more of the clinton
5:51 am
global initiative on an annual basis if she is the president. they probably, people who are concerned about this would have liked to have seen the changes put into effect earlier, and that line very clearly drawn, but look, i think this just becomes an ish you've of people who aren't going to believe it are going to keep questions a lot. >> how big a deal should trump's dealings with foreign actors be in this election? they're using it, the clinton people, to set it up as a point of comparison with the foundation. how do you think it plays? >> i think we should know more. we should know more on both sides about what those relationships were, financial and otherwise to gauge potential influence. those are fair questions for clinton, for the clinton foundation as well, and certainly that would apply to trump. >> now we're going to do tomorrow the big point of defense from the trump campaign is it's in the fcc filings, it's in there. it's all in there. it is not all in there. we will tell you why it's not all in there and what else needs to be none. we'll have it tomorrow.
