night was a statement, a lengthy statement from donald trump's campaign in the name of his top spokesman jason miller, but i'm told that in some form or fashion it is likely that donald trump himself will be the one to address this issue and say those magic words, in some way shape or form. those words being that barack obama was born in the u.s. now, we are going to have caveats here, because donald trump likes to do his own thing. and this is an issue for him that stands alone for basically everything else. because as we know, this is what launched his political career within the republican party. it gave him a launching point for the primaries. and so we're going to wait and see what he does, and if he does what he says. but as i toss it back to you people are probably saying, why now? and i think one of the big answers is that these election is very, very close. and a lot of these swing states,

the clinton campaign is relying on the african-american vote to come out and be enthusiastic and that is helped by being angry at donald trump. the trump campaign wants to take that off the table. >> all right, dana. joining us now is former democratic presidential candidate current vermont senator bernie sanders. >> good to be here. >> pleasure to have you here on "new day." let's dispense with the politics and then we'll get into policy. are you satisfied the trump campaign put out a statement saying donald trump believes that we have a legitimate president of the united states, that president obama was born in the united states? >> well, isn't that something. my word. after eight years of having president obama as president, donald trump now this he's a legitimate president. well i'm just overwhelmed with emotion. look, this disto the root of what trump's campaign is about. let's be clear. it's about bigotry. you remember, let's all remember that a few years ago donald trump was the leader of the so-called birther movement. and what the birther movement

was about, chris, was not being critical of obama. this was democracy. we can criticize obama. it was delegitimizing the first african-american president in the history of our country. and the reason for that was clear. there are racists in this country who could never accept the fact that we had a black president. and that's what trump was trying to do. delegitimize the president. not disagree with him. so i think this is part of his entire campaign of bigotry. it's against muslims. it's against mexicans, attacking women's -- women, you know. it is not acceptable for a candidate for president of the united states to be arguing whether or not our president was born in this country. one more point on this, my dad was born in poland. okay? came to this country at the age of 17. chris, do you know how many people ever asked me whether or not i was born in america? nobody ever asked me that. >> were you born in america? >> well i'm going to announce to you yes, i was born in america. and maybe it has something to do with the color of my skin.

that's what that whole business is about. >> you don't think it was about the fact that the records seemed a little sketchy, he never put them out? you never bought into any of that? >> no. >> him saying the campaign has put out the answer on this, that's good. we've never seen that from trump before. he always -- one of the things that favorably distinguished him in the field was i'll answer any question, bring it to me directly. not on this. does it matter? >> yeah it matters. because, he's trying to waffle. he's trying to appeal to those extreme, extreme, extreme, extremes. who still believe that obama was not born in america. >> so, then tell me this why is he doing so well? if it's so obvious -- >> i'll tell you why -- >> that he's a bad character, that a lot of people who see him as the change agent that america needs -- >> this is what goes on, i think. and let me start off i very rarely quote mitt romney, you know. he is not one of my political heroes. but romney, i think, hit the nail on the head when he said trump is a fraud and a phony. he is a very good showman. he manipulates media

fantastically. he does exactly what media wants. gives them some crazy statement every day and he's all over television. you can't turn on cnn without seeing donald trump. the reason he is doing so well is there is a lot of angst in this country, there's a lot of pain in this country, a lot of hurt in this country. he's got millions of people who are working longer hours for low wages. 46 million people living in property. people are seeing their jobs go to china, to mexico, they're scared to death about the future of their kids. are their kids going to be able to pay off their college get? are their kids going to be able to get a decent job? he's saying i understand your problem and it's the fault of the muslims. it is the fault of the mexicans. or maybe women are trying to take your job. or those blacks out there. that's what his campaign is about. rather than saying, okay maybe we should look at why the rich are getting much richer. the power of wall street. maybe we should try to create an economy that works for all rather than just trying to divide us up. >> he says, if you believed in

bernie sanders, i'm your guy. hillary clinton just like bernie says is an author of a lot of our current discontent. she was there for the judgments that were wrong. she was there for the judgments that were unfair. i wasn't. i'm like bernie. i see the inside for what it is. put me in. why isn't that a compelling case? >> well, i mean, people will vote for donald trump for whatever reason they will vote for donald trump. please, anybody who supports me, do not think that donald trump in any way, shape or form reflects the point of view that i have. what i have tried to do in my campaign is to say that we have got to come together come together as a people. and chris, some of the most inspiring and beautiful moments of my campaign, when i was out in california, i looked out in fields. we had black kids and white kids, and latino kids, and asian-americans coming to the to try to transform this country. and address the very serious problems that we have.

the only major country not to have health care for all of our people, free tuition at public colleges and universities. that's what my campaign was about bringing people together not dividing us up. so please do not anybody confuse trump with me. >> here's the problem for you in this conversation. all of those fields that were full with people were there because they didn't want hillary, they wanted you. and now, you are not an option for them -- >> okay. >> why would they go with hillary and not trump? >> good. >> when there is a ring -- i'm not saying you're similar as people. i'm not saying that even the motive is the same. but the idea that what's going on right now is unacceptable, she checks the box as the status quo. not the change agent. >> okay. >> why isn't he closer to that than she is? >> okay. vaefl reasons. first of all, on every important issue, you have heard me criticize the media once or twice. yes? >> yes.

often right to my face. for long periods of time. >> and what we have got to do is not worry -- i see the headlines every day on cnn, this is trump's kids, or hillary clinton's health, all that stuff. that's media stuff. the important thing is what is happening to ordinary people. you're a middle-class worker out there. don't worry about trump's kids or the stupid thing that trump says or what hillary may do. worry about your children and your parents. who is going to be better on raising the minimum wage if you're a low wage worker? who's going to be better on pay equity if you are a woman? who is going to be better in creating jobs by rebuilding our crumbling infrastructure? hillary clinton and i worked together on a proposal to make sure that any family in america making $125,000 or less would be able to send their kids to public college or university tuition free. we talked about and will double the amount of community health centers in this country so if you're a working person you'll get access to health care. on the issue of climate change, which the scientific community

tells us is the most important global crisis we face, trump doesn't even believe it. hillary clinton has some serious proposals in order to combat climate change. the point is don't worry about what cnn has on the air. worry about your own lives, which candidate issue after issue after issue is better and i think the answer is by far hillary clinton. >> character counts. >> character counts. >> who's going to be making the decision? can you trust them? will they do the right thing when it matters? will they do the right thing when they do the wrong thing which happens all the time at the top echelon? you have questioned her judgment. he questions her judgments. the polls are rife with analysis that her judgment is under scrutiny. >> fair enough. >> why do you now believe that she's the right choice when it comes to who can you trust? >> either hillary clinton is going to become president or donald trump is going to become president and i'm going to work as hard as i can to prevent trump from becoming president. i have seven grandchildren and i do not want them growing up under a trump president. now i ran against clinton for a year. of course my views are different than clinton's on many many

issues. no question about it. you know what the problem is trump is we don't know what he stands for. i can criticize hillary clinton for this, that and the other thing. trump literally changes his views every other day. and let me say this, chris, and i do not often do that, i have conservative friends who i like, and respect, they disagree with me. but i have to say, i agree with mitt romney again, this guy is a fraud and a phony. he changes his views every day. he is about trump, about not anything else >> what do you think of his economic plan? 4% growth, jobs, jobs, jobs. >> that's good. >> catering to that middle class. >> only 4%? why not 44%? why not come up with anything? look at his economic advisers. what really bothers me is this guy claims to be a champion of working people. and yet he has as his advisers all these old billionaires with the same trickle-down economic theories. if you believe that giving tax breaks to billionaires and doing away with health care for 20 million americans makes sense, i guess he is your candidate. he is not my candidate. for the same old republican

trickle-down economic theory, tax breaks for billionaires, cutting programs from working people. >> fundamental prop significance. i don't like how it is. it doesn't work for me, i don't like it. this inaction in congress, they're all incestuous, it's dirty, it's toxic. she's been there forever in one capacity or another. if i want something different, why do i vote for hillary clinton? >> because we have to be smarter. kiv is not necessarily better. if different is bringing back the kind of bigotry and racism and sexism that we have confronted for so many years -- >> he says you're just a lefty. that idea is a lefty p.c., i'm just telling the truth. whether it's when cops are getting, you know, confronted by kids in black communities all the time that he tells the truth. he doesn't play the p.c. game. when he was going after obama's -- >> well the truth -- >> he wouldn't put out his birth certificate. he's not afraid of the pc >> here's the truth. the truth is that this is a guy

who has told us how concerned he is about manufacturing moving abroad. and where does he manufacture his clothing? >> a businessman exploits the system that you created. if he were running the system he'd do it differently. >> i didn't create it. well, where is -- it's a man of principle. he makes this key part of his economic plan bringing back jobs to america. you know what? you can manufacture ties in the united states. you can manufacture suits in the united states. we still do that. he chose not to do that. once again, chris, the difficulty about arguing trump's economic policy, you can be critical of clinton, that's fair enough, is that his views literally change every single day. it's impossible to pin him down. >> what will you do if you have a president trump? do you think you can work with him? >> well, i am not looking for a president trump. i am looking toward a president clinton. and by the way, let me just say this, the only way that we ever make real change in this country is when people come together at the grassroots level.

the day after hillary clinton, as i hope, is elected president, i will do everything i can to sit down with her and say, president-elect clinton this is what the democratic platform is about. we worked together. let's start implementing. raising the minimum wage. public colleges and universities tuition free. transforming our energy, creating millions of jobs rebuilding our infrastructure. taking on wall street. let's get to work representing working families. >> and what if it's the first day and you have president-elect trump, what do you do? >> try to overcome my depression, and then figure out where we go from there. >> except that you see the polls. i mean, politicians never like polls unless they're in their favor. >> i see the polls. >> this is a knotted up contest. >> yeah. i agree. >> it is a mood election. and the democrats are supposed to lose by historical cycles. right? you had two terms -- >> but here's chris here's the other thing i would say to people -- >> but i know people get angry when i say that. i know all the people that support clinton are going to

come after me. >> i'm not arguing -- >> you're in a dead heat. >> the question is could trump win? the answer is yes of course he could. i'm going to work as hard as i can to prevent that from happening. this is what i would ask of the american people and that is and the media does not do this terribly often put things in contact. do we have economic problems today? damn right we do. how are we today, when compared to when bush left office and we were losing 800,000 jobs a month? has obama's economic performance been infinitely better than the trickle-down economics that we had from president bush? remember, you remember, that the world's financial system was on the verge of collapse. yes? >> yes. >> all right. >> that we had a 1.4 trillion deficit largest in history. you can criticize obama all you want but he -- it really would be unfair to say that we're not better off today despite our many problems than we were under trickle-down economics. >> you think you can move the millennials? that is maybe the biggest section of the electorate for

hillary clinton? >> well what i would say and it's not just the millennials, it's working people in general. look, we do not have the luxury to say, well, you know, i don't like clinton. i don't like trump. i'm not going to vote. or i'm going to vote for somebody else. i'm sorry. we don't have that luxury anymore. what we have got to do is say, which candidate is the best on issues of importance to my life, and we have got to get involved and make those issues -- those solutions come forward. >> senator sanders. as we pledged all along here in the big, bad media on cnn, what matters, we're here to have you as a platform to talk about any time. >> i appreciate that. >> senator sanders. great to see you. alisyn. >> all right so we just heard from senator sanders on the economy and the birther controversy, and much more. next we will talk to a top republican in congress about trump's economic plan, and whether today trump needs to say, president obama was born in the u.s. all of that next.

>> cnn has learned that donald trump is likely to address the birther controversy publicly today. after refusing to say president obama was born in the u.s. for years. republican nominee just said on another network that he wants to, quote, keep the suspense going. here to discuss this and so much more republican congressman jason chaffetz from utah, also the chairman of the house oversight committee. donald trump wants to keep the

suspense going about whether or not he believes president obama was born in the united states? what's happening? >> i don't know. i mean i think there were some legitimate questions very early on. but i think -- >> were there? >> but i think that you know, questions about his birth certificate, questions about -- >> you doubted whether or not president obama -- >> no, but i think there were some questions. but that issue was put to bed a long, long time ago. i'm hoping he addresses it and moves on. there's a lot more important things to talk about. >> indeed. do you think today cnn has lernd that donald trump will likely be making a comment about do you think that today he will say once and for all that he believes the president was born here? >> i hope so. i hope he does. i think he will. but he -- he does have a sense for, you know, the drama, and he'll say it in his own terms. and he's his own person and he'll do it the way he wants to. >> right. i mean we saw him on the dr. oz show the big reveal about what his doctor had just told him but this isn't a reality show. this is the presidency. i mean are you comfortable with how he's conducting these things about truth? >> well he doesn't pick what the

media asks him to talk about. i mean i think he'd much rather talk about the economy, and overseas, and hillary clinton. i don't think this is necessarily something he was putting out there saying, please ask me -- >> he could have put this to bed. i mean he could have put this to bed a long time ago. >> the media gets to choose what these questions are. i question what the media is really pushing. if it's not really that big of a deal, then why do you all keep asking this same question? >> because he's never put it to bed. he's never answered it. i mean i guess that the question is are you comfortable for having somebody who peddles conspiracy theories in the white house. >> i don't think he's out there peddling a conspiracy theory at this point. i really don't. i think there are other questions that need to be asked by the media. but i don't think this is one of those big controversies that everybody says it is. he should put this away and move on. i hope he does. i think he should have done that a long time ago quite frankly. but he needs to answer that question and sounds like he'll do it today. >> let's talk about his economic plan. that he has put out. he says that he will create 25

million jobs. is there anything that gives you pause in what you -- well here we go, 4.4 trillion in tax cuts over a decade a growth goal of 4% annual growth of course everybody has that goal but it's the devil's in the details and he will create 25 million new jobs. anything that gives you pause? >> well those are laudable goes. he's got to work with the congress. i believe whole heartedly that the businessman, the person who hasn't been party of the washington establishment is in a much better position to actually accomplish that than hillary clinton who hasn't ever really created a job and failed while she was the secretary of state. so the -- the -- the propensity for success, the opportunity for success is much better with donald trump than it is with hillary clinton. >> do you think those are realistic goals? >> yeah i do think they're realistic goals. you get the magic of the united states of america. we're the greatest country on the face of the planet. you get our economic engine moving in the right direction. his approach on trade has got a lot of people around the world

worried and concerned that he's going to put america first. but for americans, that's what we want to hear. that's what we want to know. that's what is so compelling for donald trump particularly with independents because hillary clinton is all over the map. she's flip-flopped on tpp, and the trade deals. i mean nobody knows where she stands on it. put our finger to the wind and see where she's going. >> you like the idea of blowing up the current trade deals? >> well we need to put america first. and i think what people understand in the heartland is that donald trump will put the united states of america first and foremost. not his own political career. he'll put the united states first. >> how do you feel about free trade? is that good for the country or bad -- >> we absolutely need trade. i would prefer that we do trade deals one at a time with certain countries. i worry about these big, massive mega deals where we start to lose control of how these -- the ins and outs of what we can trade -- >> like tpp? >> look donald trump, he does certain things really well. negotiation is really -- is a

strong suit for him. he would much rather have donald trump at the table negotiating these deals than hillary clinton. most anybody, donald trump is in a better position to do it. he's done it his whole career. >> i want to ask you about what you're calling on for the fbi to release the full case file from the hillary clinton case. you're subpoenaing their records. what more are you trying to learn? >> i want to learn the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. the fbi released, and i appreciate this, part of the unclassified report. why not just release all of the unclassified reports. that seems reasonable. why can't members of congress even look at unclassified material? we should be age to see that. and they cannot redact for congress the personal identifiable information. that is unprecedented. and so, we want to be able to see that as well. release to the public the whole file not just part of the file. >> sure enough. what else are you trying to learn? what other unanswered questions are there that warrant i know it wasn't put to rest to your

liking when james comey came out and said that he wasn't recommending charges but what more is unanswered? >> well, remember, director comey also said that he never looked at what hillary clinton did when she testified before congress. and so, here you have the largest, potentially one of the largest breaches of security in the history of the state department, records for over four years. our committee has -- oversees the federal records, the freedom of information act, and she did this massive data breach. we got to make sure "a," it doesn't happen again and we've got to get to the truth and try to put this genie back in the battle that she created this mess when she decided to unilaterally create this relationship with herself and let all these records out the door. >> tell us what you're doing in congress about the epipen scandal. >> yes, i'm working very closely with my colleague elijah cummings and next week we're going to have the ceo of the maker of epipen come up. i mean this is drug that's a generic for more than 100 years.

it has gone from about $100 eight years ago to $600. comes in a two-pack but it expires after a year. and you've got parents that are concerned about their little kids, and suddenly you have this massive increase in price. very concerned that the fda has not allowed competition to come into the marketplace, to help drive down the price. so we're going to -- i called a hearing and we're going to do it, and that happens i believe on wednesday. >> we'll look forward to seeing what comes out of that. congressman jason chaffetz, thanks so much for being here on "new day." >> so cnn learning donald trump will likely address the renewed controversy over the birther issue today. what will he say? what should he say? why did he allow any of this to happen?

donald trump just said on television this morning that he will address the birther controversy today. but he likes to keep the suspense building. odd to play with something so ugly that way. we're joined by ron brownstein, cnn political analyst, senior editor of the atlantic, it is good to have you.

professor, let's take on this head line of the day. the birther thing matters. it is a metaphor, a judgment, how you own mistakes in the past. trump says he wants to keep the suspense going. he wants to have a big announcement about it. here's what he said this morning. >> well, i'm going to make a big announcement on it today, probably during my first speech at my new hotel. >> i just don't remember hillary bringing it up. when did she bring it up? during the campaign? >> hillary brought it up during the campaign. it was 2008. and it was brought up to a fair thee well and she brought it up. and i was the one that was successful in getting him to release his birth certificate. i'm going to have a big statement made today at the hotel. but no, she is the one that started it. and she was unable, or incapable of finishing it. that's the way it worked out. >> so two things. one know we. one we don't know. the first thing we know what he says about hillary clinton is false. not true. she never front-ran the birther movement. she denied it whenever it was

brought to her as an allegation. she said it was silly and stupid. what we don't know is why is he playing with such a damaging concept as this and playing it for an event? what's the advantage? >> well, look, i mean you know i think they understand that the voters between where they are and where they need to be ultimately are college educated white voters primarily 60% of whom in polls consistently say they consider him a bigot. i don't think he has much room to change perceptions of him on the birther issue. certainly in the african-american community. i don't think whatever he says is going to be hugely consequential. not only did he press this issue for years even after the birth certificate was released. he continued to question its authenticity. there was an interview unearthed in 2014 with irish television where he continued to question the authenticity of the birth certificate. so i don't think what he says is going to have a big impact one way or the other but it is an ongoing effort to soften one of these two key perceptions that are in his way among college

educated swing white voters and that is one that he's unqualified. two that he's bigoted. >> why hasn't he done it sooner? if he's trying to win over those other demographics, why are we waiting for the big reveal? >> the challenge for donald trump always has been keeping the energy alive in the core of his base, and expanding beyond that base. i mean in the republican primary, he drew on the forces, the portions of the republican coalition that are the most uneasy about racial and demographic change. i mean, whether it's a basket of deplorables, there's no question in polling, you know, as hillary clinton phrased it, there's no question in polling that a lot of donald trump's core coalition expresses the greatest unease about immigration, are more likely to say discrimination against whites is a bigger problem as discrimination against minorities. more likely to say islam is inherently violent and i think he has always navigated you know how far he can go without alienating those voters. even as the polls have tightened entirely, but mostly because of hillary clinton coming down.

that coalition is somewhere around 40% of the electorate. ultimately he has to appeal beyond it and i think they are col plating how far they can go in kind of repositioning without ail enyetting those voters who took him to this point to begin with. >> hmm. all right so bernie sanders dropped the hammer on trump about this. and he was very clear what about he believes this birther thing is about for him for african-americans, and for people who are still deciding what to do in this election. here's what he said. >> look, this is -- this goes to the root of what trump's campaign is about. let's be clear. it's about bigotry. you remember, let's all remember, that a few years ago, donald trump was the leader of the so-called birther movement. and what the birther movement was about, chris, was not being critical of obama. this is a democracy. we can criticize obama. he was delegit mizing the first african-american president in the history of our country. and the reason for that was clear. there are racists in this

country who could never accept the fact that we had a black president. and that's what trump was trying to do. delegitimize the president. >> ron, your thoughts? >> look i think it's exactly what trump was trying to do. delegitimize the president. not criticize him. in polls consistently month after month, abc, "washington post," quinnipiac again this week roughly 60% of americans depending on how the question is phrased say that he is biased against women and minorities or appeals to racial bigotry. that is a deeply engraved impression and one that is going to be very difficult for donald trump to change and i don't think, you know, it half kind of a qualified half renuns yags of birtherism is going to do it. i thought bernie sanders was much less effective on a much more important question that chris asked him which was about millennials. in polling the share of millennials that say that donald trump is racially bigoted is 75%. the share that says he's unqualified is 75%. and yet hillary clinton is

polling in a four-way race among them, 45% in a good poll, sometimes in the 30s, and i think didn't think bernie sanders' answer was very well thought out or persuasive on making the case to them because that is a significant problem at this point for hillary clinton. she is not nearly consolidating the anti-trump vote among millennials. that is where johnson and stein are the strongest and bernie sanders, elizabeth warren and others need to figure out an answer to that because it's part of the reason why the polls are so close. >> hmm. let's look at another interesting piece of the polls this is "the new york times" poll just out, it's about we had maureen dowd on yesterday and she wrote a book called the year of voting dangerously and i think this place upon that how voters think that both candidates are risky. donald trump much more so, 67% believe that he is a risky choice for the country. 51% believe hillary clinton is. where are we right now? >> we're two candidates with the highest negatives of general

election nominees. i think it's entirely possible on election day the majority of those who vote in an election poll will say they have an unfavorable opinion about each of them. in donald trump's case it's less of an unambiguous, less of a clear negative to be risky. for many of his voters there's a sense that conventional politicians have failed to arrest the trend in american life that they don't like, whether it is economic stagnation, or for some of them democrat graphic transformation. one republican poll ter put it to me talking about the trump success she said you don't go to mexico for the avocado based cure unless you've tried all the conventional cures and they haven't worked. >> i don't even know what that means. >> it's a guacamole metaphor and i get those. >> it's more like -- it's -- you know it's drug treatment like basically you don't go off the grid looking for something that isn't kind of in the conventional arsenal of weapons of disease unless everything else has failed. >> bernie says different is not

always better. and in terms of how you bridge his criticism of hillary and turn it into a positive for hillary, he says because it's who's going to be better for you in the available choices. it smacks of joe biden. don't compare me to the almighty, compare me to the alternative and he says trump is unacceptable. is that enough? >> yeah, well look, look he has left quite a tattoo on hillary clinton among younger voters. i mean there's no question. the share of younger voters who say that hillary clinton is not trustworthy is extraordinarily high. the share that says she says what is convenient rather than what she believes is extraordinarily high. the portrait that he painted of her in the primary as kind of a calculating establishment politician who kind of bends with the wind has lasted. and it is a significant challenge. as i said to you before, if you look across the obama coalition it is young people where she is most consfik uously falling off from the president's performance in 2008 and 2012 so they have a lot of work to do there and in

okay time now for the five things to know for your "new day." number one, donald trump will address the birther controversy this morning at an event at his new washington, d.c. hotel. it's something trump has so far refused to do publicly. hillary clinton hitting the campaign trail again but transparency still an issue. she declined to talk specifics when asked twice whether her running mate senator tim kaine knew she had pneumonia. new york city police shooting a man with a meat cleaver who slashed an off-duty officer's face. the suspect hospitalized in critical condition. the officer is in critical condition as well and being treated for a six inch gash on

his face. the iphone 7 hits store shelves today but in limited supply. apple already warning the 7-plus model is sold out. so, if you're not in a rush for one you can always order the device online. this looks like a scene from a low budget outer space movie. that is really a giant moon balloon you were right, chris. it is the moon. but it's a moon balloon. it's rolling through the streets of china. strong winds from the typhoon meranti there unleashed this blob-like moon, which was inflated for a festival celebration. >> control room, was anybody hurt? good then i mock it. didn't i see this movie when i was like 9 years old? >> was it a big melon or was it a planet? >> when the moon attacks. i can't believe none of these good chinese men and women had the interest to go and taste it and answer the time-told question of what flavor cheese is the moon? >> you're always thinking. i like that. about food. >> for more on the five things

donald trump on the "tonight show" you've never seen him do what he allows johnny fallen to do to him --

>> jimmy fallon. >> did i say johnny? he mocks his voice which he does, but then, then, donald trump let fallon do this. >> when you first started running, you were very high voiced. your voice was very high. and china, you say china. very high. and then, you got into a stage where you were just yelling. you were yelling into the microphone! you were yelling! like you don't need the mic. and now, you're more of a smoky, silky -- can i mess your hair up? >> the answer is yes. but the people in new hampshire where i'm going to be in about an hour from now, i hope you're going to understand. okay? >> yes? >> go ahead. >> yes! donald trump, everybody!

>> welcome to america! >> you would be surprised if donald trump is elected president the first thing that happens is a missile lands on jimmy fallon's house? >> dave barry is here. he's the pulitzer prize winning columnist and author of the new book best day ever. so, could you believe the gravity defying hair that donald trump has? >> no. i saw it up close in one of the debates, and it's an astonishing thing. i mean because it goes -- the hair comes out and then it goes this way and individual hairs do amazing thing. some of those hairs started growing when columbus discovered america. there's a lot of hair there. >> when trump allows falon to muss his hair, does it humanize him in a way that winds up -- >> or hairmonnize him? >> why did he do that? >> i think we reached the point with him where it doesn't matter at all. i mean, watching your show

today, it's like that far side cartoon where the guy's lecturing his dog and saying, bad buddy, you did a bad thing. and all the dog is hearing buddy, buddy, buddy. all america hears donald trump, donald trump, donald trump, trump trump trump. all day long. it doesn't matter what he does or what he says. we hear his name. he's the brand. >> you're a student of this. you followed politics for a long time. how do you think we've gotten here? >> i don't know. i'm supposed to write a year in review. how we start out with all these highly qualified individuals and we end up with a toxic presidential race like this. i've never seen anything like it. for the american public it's like ointment or suppository? nobody's excited about this. you know. i -- i -- i don't know about you guys, drive around neighborhoods -- >> ointment or suppository? >> exactly. >> he's about to weigh in. >> well, i drive around neighborhoods -- usually this time of year you see lots of yard signs, you know.

i'm not -- i'm not seeing any yard -- nobody's enthusiastic about anybody. >> i have seen more and more people cutting the trump sign into rum signs. there's a restaurant where i live called rumba and they have rum outside. >> that's funny, too. better than rum. >> so you've actually seen trump since? >> i have seen trump signs. i don't think we've had a mood election in the last few cycles. the question is -- >> what is the mood? >> we know the darkness of the mood and the basis for it. the question is how does this turn out? not just the election but where are we a year from today? >> well it's going to be a very sad, weird election. most people i think don't really like either candidate very much. i think that's true of most americans now. whether that's valid or not doesn't really matter or more. >> it may come down to you to decide this election. you in the best state ever. >> oh, florida, yeah.

that's my big fear because we're not good at elections in florida as everybody knows. the 2000 presidential election we lived up to our official state motto, florida, you can't spell it without da, and we were unable to determine who we voted for. and i don't want that to happen this time. i don't want it to be laid at our doorstep. we should not even be allowed to vote. they should take our electoral votes and give them to other states. divide them up and florida can go party that day. we had nothing to do with this. nothing to do with it. >> you're proving you can't handle it. but best state ever i have to take issue with as a girl from new jersey. what state is weirder, new jersey or more fun or florida? >> florida is statistical fact 6% of the nation's population and produces 57% of the nation's weirdness. now, a lot of weird people in florida are from new jersey. that's kind of my point in the book is like we're like the ellis island for stupid, weird people. they come, i want to get naked in a walmart, where should i do that? florida. they go to florida. then we get the blame for people like you. >> isn't it called the

fisherman's paradise? >> florida? there's like eight fishermen down there. the rest are just drinking. >> right. there's also a lot of fugitives in florida. >> they don't really have to hide. they get elected to public office. >> oh. that's not nice. >> that's awesome. >> again the block "best state ever." thanks so much. >> thanks for having me. see you in november. huh? wait. >> we love your humorous take on everything. that's what you have to do. >> ointment or suppository. that was my takeaway. >> coming up a chicago police sergeant rushes to the scene of a shooting a young boy was shot. how he came to the rescue. next. ♪

you see -- you don't like to see kids get hurt no matter what happens to them. >> ambulance 64 is in route. >> reporter: when the sergeant arrives the scene is chi at oik. >> mom and dad are crying. i can see blood coming out of his nose and mouth. >> reporter: his great aunt says the boy was banging on the floor saying i'm burning, i'm burning, while his twin sister held his hand saying don't leave me, don't leave me. >> do you know the condition? >> i run down to the car, i grab my trauma pack and came back into the house. >> gunshot wound to what part of the body? >> i ripped the pack open, took out a compression bandage. >> the back is the only wound that we know of right now. >> after everything got settled at the scene and he was taken to the hospital he was still in intensive care but i went up there and seen his mom and seen him sitting in the chair. so -- >> what was that like? >> you know, it's hard. >> reporter: his great-aunt says

the bullet impacted the boy's pancreas, spleen, intestines and kidney and credits the sergeant's immediate response with saving his life. >> he's our guardian angel. he's tevon's guardian angel. and i tried not to cry when i met him. of course i gave him a kiss on the cheek and i said you're cute, too, you know. >> you took a photo with him. >> yes, i did. he's my hero. he's my hero. i appreciate him. i appreciate chicago police department. >> come people call you a hero for helping this little boy. >> you know what? i'm flattered. i'm humbled. it's my job. my job is to be out here, and serve the community. serve the city. >> reporter: rosa flores, cnn, chicago. >> my gosh what a beautiful story. of course he is a hero. >> i had a guy on the job tell me that the reason they fight the idea of being a hero is that he said the moment i start thinking that what i do is extraordinary or special, then it becomes something that i don't see as my daily routine. and it just a good window into

how intense that job is. >> it is. i'm so glad we get reminders of that every friday. it's time for "newsroom" with carol costello. >> nice way to end your show. thanks so much for bringing a smile to our faces. we needed that because it's been a crazy political day hasn't it? >> indeed. >> you're right allison.
