>>. >> all right. wooil leave it on that important note. erin burnett "outfront" starts right now. "outfront" next the breaking news. a pac train crashing at high speeds slamming into a busy train station at rush hour. how could this happy? and donald trump's lies and conspiracy theories. we check the record on just one rally tonight. let's go "outfront." and good evening. i'm erin burnett. "outfront" tonight the breaking news. rush hour horror. a path train running at a high rate of speed goes over barriers the lead car goes airborne and

into the crowd of biasers. one person killed. by falling debris as she was just waiting on the station platform to go work. more than 100 people injured tonight, some critically. the engineer said to be cooperating with authorities tonight. the scene immediately after the crash one of horror. witnesses say the train's first car was it lerly demolished. a loud boom and then people screaming as the lights in the train went out. >> it didn't slow down. there was no brakes. all of a sudden just crash. >> many passengers were getting ready to exit the train, so they were 1257bding in the aisle. bloody commuters were crawling out through windows. debra, truly horrific what happened here. what more can you tell us about why? what was the cause? >> reporter: that is what investigators are trying to

determine. what happened and why did it happen? they are saying they are going to be on scene for at least 7-10 days and not going to be determining probable cause while they are here but they are looking at mechanical issues. human factors. whether there was a traffic component that contributed. they are looking at every single angle to find out why this tragedy happened. >> it happened without warning at the height of morning rush hour. a new jersey commuter train packed with passengers traveling at a high rate of speed as it entered the hoboken station around 8:45 a.m. >> i looked outside the window. we're proemping the station and we a we aren't slowing down. and people are standing ready to get off. >> shook. like an earthquake. >> didn't stop. got thrown around. lights went out. i think the roof caved in on the train. >> witnesses say the train slammed into a protective bumper. the force sending the front car

several feet into that air the on to the platform full of commuters. >> they said there were major injuries from people falling. >> i saw a deceased person right there. which disturbed me. a young lady. and she was actually gone. >> that woman has been identified as the new jersey medical examiner as 34-year-old fabiola, vikrun. hers is the only death. more than 100 others injured. the train caused massive damage to the station. pipes burst. beams came crashed down. and with them electrical wiring. william blaine, a train engineer for norfolk southern was there and he ran to help. he said he saw the engineer right after the crash. >> you looked up. he was slouched over. >> the video shows the train running along the track as usual

around 8:05 in the mornings but 40 minutes later a routine commute came to a crashing end. >> and ntsb investigators are not even going to be able to get into the front car until friday afternoon at the very earliest. contractors have to come in and remove the ceiling the crashes on the car and also removing potential asbestos. so this could take longer than anticipated but in the meantime they are going to be speaking to the neng near and also locking at the event recorder to determine the speed and whether the train was braking and if not why. there are also two cameras on the train. outward facing cameras is how they are describing it. they are going to be looking very closely at that video and that information to see what they can learn from it, erin. >> and i want to go now to brian todd out front in hoboken. 114 patients. some have been critically injured. what do you know about how they are tonight?

>> erin we're told many have been treated and released at local hospitals. some for injuries as minor as scrape, cuts bruises. some of the injuries were more serious. we were told that at least a couple of patients had to have surgery and we hope to get an update soon on their condition. but the accounts from the victims at the scene are just horrific. some victims saying there was blood everywhere. at least one passenger said he saw a man who was missing an eye. and there were reports of a woman trapped under rubble who was motionly. you know, these accounts are just incredibly disturbing to hear and very graphic in detail. you know, some passengers saying they had to crawl out windows. one man described having a window being kicked out. and he had to crawl through that. so again, you know, this was just pure chaos. at the moment of impact here. and the passengers with some really graphic descriptions. what they have also said, many

almost uniformly is look, a lot of us were standing, getting ready to deboard the train when it came into the station. as people so often do in these stations. and all of a sudden they were just thrown forward, into other people, seats, things like that. and many of them said they never even felt the train brake. so, you know, again those are questions that are going to have to be answered with the event recorders that deb are was talking about. whether they are going to be able to recoveried from the scene. we know from the ntsb they should be able to access the event recorder in the loemtive in the back of the train. they have not yet been able to access the recorder in the front car. it is too dangerous to get in there right now. >> the injuries you describe are gruesome. it is just horrific. and you think about people just going to work. some of what you were describing is very hard to hear. how are they able to get out of the train. when you see the condition it is in they are not even able to get into that first car yet.

how were people able to get out? >> when you see the pictures ux erin you wonder how they could have gotten out of that. many of them said they had to crawl out wrnds. some of them were in the vestibule between cars and were kind of tossed around. there may have been an opening there that some of them were able to get out through. and some of them said they were of course helped by first responders who got there very quickly, erin. so it is really incredible that so many people were able to get out with injuries and that as of now we only have one fatality. >> thank you very much brian todd. the train was carrying 250 passengers. among them ross bower. on his way to new york. he was going to work and ross first i'm glad you are okay. as i said a gruesome and horrible thing to hear about what happened on the train. the injuries that others are enduring tonight. what happened as you experienced it when that train pulled into the station when it derailed? >> we were pulling into the

station. everything felt normal. we were going at a decent rate of speed and then we just didn't stop. there was a very sunday jolt. we got jolted out of our seats. a very loud crash and explosion outside. i wasn't sure what it was at first and everybody was just in stunned silence sitting there b wondering what had just happened. >> and when you talk about a decent rate of speed, i know obviously the crucial part of the investigation is did the train slow at all. ? did you feel any slowing? did anything feel strange in the second or millisecond before impact? >> yeah, i mean, you know, the speed seemed normal: but as we got closer, you know -- i didn't really realize it at the time but, you know, did not slow down at all. and it was -- you know, very sunday jult jolt. there was no warn zwlg and you took some pictures of the crash just to give people a sense of what happened. the roof collapsed. you were able to see that as you were getting out.

there was blood on the ground. what more did you see here in these first moments after the crash? >> after we got off the train everyone was kind of checking on each other, making sure everyone was okay, helping people off. as we got off we were right behind the trains that were heavily impacted. we could see the whole platform had been destroyed. people were climbing out of the emergency exits. we made our way across the tracks onto the other platform where in the second picture you can see that the entire roof had collapsed. and you could see people being pulled out and being tended too by the police that were already on the scene. >> well, ross, thank you very much for coming on and talking to us and we're sure glad that you are okay. thank you. up front now albert gil, who worked on the train line, former transit train conductor. you know the entire set up here. you heard ross say he didn't feel any braking at all. not something you notice at the

moment but he didn't feel that at any time. how do you explain this at this point? >> you can't explain it because at the end, when that train is coming into that depot, track five. he should be coming in at restricted speed. not exceeded 5 miles an hour. as he should have the bell ringing. indicating to the passengers. there might be passengers waiting to get on the next train to go back out. that there is a train coming in. so there there should be no reason why the train should not be slowing down instead of speeding up. or continuing to pace that it was in. >> and anything that happened suddenly to that engineer in that millisecond and he was incapacitated, would there be anything to enable the train to stop -- >> there is a system in place at

new jersey transit where the plane -- if the train, excuse me, goes into penalty. you are exceeding the restricted -- the speed, then it will shut it down. it gives you an opportunity to acknowledge. there will be a bell that rings in the cab telling you, hey, you are going too fast. you have a chance to acknowledge that. if you don't acknowledge that, it will shut you down. the computer will shut you down. but the way this train came in, the -- i've worked this train a few times. and you go through an interlock. as soon as you go through the interlock and you approach that depot, one, if something happened to that engineer. >> it would be time. >> there wouldn't be time to stop the train. you know, there just wouldn't be? >> albert. thank you very much. i appreciate your time. the investigation is ongoing, we do not yet know the reason why.

we know the engineer is out of the hospital and cooperating with investigators tonight. "outfront" next is chris christie about that that take over debate prep for donald trump. and donald trump's lies and conspiracy theories. how many did he tell in just one rally? and more ugh. heartburn. sorry ma'am. no burning here. try new alka-seltzer heartburn relief gummies. they don't taste chalky and work fast. mmmm. incredible. can i try? she doesn't have heartburn. new alka-seltzer heartburn relief gummies. enjoy the relief. once i left the hospital after a dvt blood clot. what about my wife...

...what we're building together... ...and could this happen again? i was given warfarin in the hospital, but wondered, was this the best treatment for me? i spoke to my doctor and she told me about eliquis. eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots and reduces the risk of them happening again. not only does eliquis treat dvt and pe blood clots. but eliquis also had significantly less major bleeding than the standard treatment. knowing eliquis had both... ...turned around my thinking. don't stop eliquis unless you doctor tells you to. eliquis can cause serious, and in rare cases, fatal bleeding. don't take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. if you had a spinal injection while on eliquis call your doctor right away if you have tingling, numbness, or muscle weakness. while taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily... and it may take longer than usual for bleeding to stop. seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. eliquis treats dvt

& pe blood clots. plus had less major bleeding. both made switching to eliquis right for me. ask your doctor if it's right for you. how do robots work? ♪ you need a team... ...working together... ♪ ...doing all kinds of jobs.

and the best place to find the job that's right for you is on the world's number-one job site. indeed. how the world works. breaking news tonight. a new tactic from the trump campaign. advisors unhan with trump's debit prep are now considering having chris christie take over. the new jersey gotcvernor and lg time trump friend is one of the few in the circle a that's always been straight with him. the hope he can help from repeating some of the same mistakes from monday's debate. >> you are the new miss universe. >> still no apologies from

donald trump in response to allegations he called former miss universe alicia machado miss piggy after she gained weight back in the nineties. >> i'm not going say anything. i couldn't care less. but it is something i don't know. don't know certainly very well. i saved her job because they wanted to fire her for putting on so much weight. and it is a beauty contest. say what you want. but they know what they are getting into. it is a beauty contest. >> instead of expressing regret, mocked on the new yorker this week. the trump campaign is going on the offensive. zeroing in on bill and hillary clinton's marital troubles when he was in the white house. >> it is fair game to think about hillary clinton treated those women of the fact. >> and talking points obtained by cnn surrogates are urged to dredge up bill clinton's past affairs. why are we not hearing from monica lewandowski who started an antibullying foundation buzz of how she was treated by the clinton machine. a line of attack echoed by eric

trump on sean hannity. >> amazing when you hear her talk talk about sexism and these various claims which are obviously ridiculous. aside from her husband bill. >> i'm not sitting here some little woman standing by my man like tammy wi net. >> accusing hillary clinton of enabling her husband's behavior. pointing to how she handled the scandals. >> the great story here for anybody willing to find it and write about it and explain it is this vast right wing conspiracy that has been conspiring against my husband since the day he announced for president. >> on her day clinton declined to engage. >> look. he can say whatever he wants to say as we all know. we've seen it in real time over the last many months. >> trump who's also had his share of affairs is facing more questions over his treatment of women. los angeles time unearthed court documents o that show some of

trump's former employees saying he hired and fired female employees based on their looks. a director saying i've witnessed it many times that restaurant hostesses were not pretty enough and they should be fired and replaced with more attractive women. not true says the trump organization. adding the allegations were meritless. we do not engage in discrimination of any kind. the trump campaign insists the gop nominee has been a champion of women. he was only trying to help miss universe at the center of this particular controversy. >> he gave that particular women a second chance. the company involved wanted her terminated. >> -- >> hold on. >> newt gingrich continued to pile on the attacks. >> you are not -- [ inaudible ] [ laughter ] >> as for those talking points struck outing trump's surrogates to go after bill clinton's personal life, the clinton

campaign put out a statement saying that would be a mistake and backfire. but guess who agrees with that? the republican lawmakers on capitol hill who support donald trump who told us earlier today that the trump campaign should not go there. >> and "outfront" today --. mark preston, our executive editor of cnn politics and patrick healey. let me start start with you betsy. trump supporters in congress telling cnn don't go there. it is a smart move. >> i understand that viewpoint and i largely agree with it. after all the trump campaign would like to keep this contest on the issues. we have a record number of unemployed people who have given up looking for work. and we have expanded terrorist threats not only abroad but right here at home. but mrs. clinton appears to have want to shift the issue in this campaign to the treatment of

women. and if she does that, as she's struggling to do. it is certainly fair to ask how she treats women. and that isn't the issue. not bill clinton's extramarital affairs. i'd like to just finish here and point out that even though now mrs. clinton has taken a very modern view and said any woman who claims to be sexually mistreated should be believed. back then she labeled those women bimbos and did bully them. >> hillary clinton would love for this to be about the issues. this is why she's out there talking about how she wants to make the greatest investment in jobs since world war ii. she wants to improve healthcare. she's talking about college affordab affordability. but the treatment of women, i'm sorry s a big issue. when women are 53% of the electorate and you have someone viaing for being commander in chief and who's debased women all of his life and this is a good example of that, i think it

is actually a fair issue to bring up. if the clinton campaign wants to go there where she had nothing do with it herself, voters are going to smell the putrid stench of --. and this loose lipped, shoot from the hip, demeaning -- >> okay. on the issue of hillary clinton brings up what he said to a beauty queen she says he said miss piggy. he admits he said she was too heavy. is that equivalent to bringing up hillary clinton's husband's infidelities? >> let me say this. i think it is a politically stupid move to go after hillary clinton through her husband. because it does make her the victim. because it is his infidelities that we are talking about. if there are some others issues you want to deal with about how hillary clinton perhaps treated some people or treated some women, then perhaps that is fair game but that is not how it is. donald trump is being very crass

in how he's tacking this. and i don't think it is very smart in how he's doing it in his cadence and where he does it but he's feeding off of it. >> and in november it is only going to be donald trump's name and hooints name on the ballot. so bringing in bill clinton who frankly brings up a lot of good memories for people who remember in key battleground states in ohio and north carolina what the economy was like in the nineties they are not going to be dwelling on. and let's be honest. it gets complicated when you get into what did hillary clinton do about jennifer flowers in 1992 when a lot of people weren't born. but the point is if there is going to be a fight over character hillary clinton feels and i think there is a point for undecided women voters it is a lot better going off of donald trump's character versus a character of a guy not on the ballot. >> ever since she was first lady

there have been countless documentaries and articles about how shabbily she treats the little people. and a book about the first family and how often -- >> [ inaudible ]. -- >> at this stage of the game you are right at the documentaries -- i'm just saying that we have not seen in her senate race in 2000, in 2006 in 2008, you know, even this time around -- >> [ inaudible ]. >> -- impact. >> -- with the beauty contest as well. we're both talking about the same period of time. but i'd like to raise another issue of this treatment of women. and that is the ad that she has out in which she depicts young girls looking into the mirror very uncomfortably, very unhappy about their own body image and overlays wit donald trump's words. i'm a mother and grandmother. >> donald trump's words. >> and my family has gone over anguish over eating disorders. i've sat at the bedside of a child near death from eating

disorders and so many families across the country, mothers like me have gone to doctor, read articles, tried to figure out what's going on wrong? and we know it is not donald trump -- >> well -- >> [ inaudible ]. -- >> allegaties donald trump drov her -- >> -- may have had it before. aim not -- >> [ inaudible ]. >> -- these ads are unfairly exploiting -- >> [ inaudible ]. >> these ads are incredibly compelling. as the mother of a nine-year-old latina daughter when i hear donald trump debasing women the way he's done, debasing lat know immigrants the way he he's done. this ad is very compelling because we county wadon't want of role model in the white house. and they can say well, but mama, the president of the united states says and does these

things. that is completely unacceptable. >> betsy betdy -- >> no i blame donald trump for this. >> -- you had your peace. mark you get the final word. >> the bottom line, it is an incredibly compelling ad. >> dishonest ad. >> -- pretty nasty things -- [ inaudible ] >> half if famithe families -- >> -- okay. >> hollywood. he pomocked her how she's looki a little big. but the beauty contestant, saying he pushed her into the kind of eating disorders. >> he said himself -- >> -- >> all right. next lies and conspiracy theories. how many false statements did make at just one rally? and third party candidate gary johnson doubling down on his answer to what seems to be a pretty simple question. mornin'.

looks like donald trump still insists he won the debate. his proof, online surveys in which people can vote multiple tim times. >> and then during the debate every single online pole said we won, which is great. >> in reality. 62% of voters believed hillary clinton won the debate. trump also made the claim again in a rally last nights and so we decided to take a closer look. it lasted just over 40 minutes last night but his time on stage was filled with things that were not true. sara siden is out front. >> early voting is already under way. right? >> the latest conspiracy theory that donald trump is spreading? >> you have to knock on those doo doors. you have to pick up the phone. you have to get all your friends out. you have to watch what's going

on because this is a dirty business. there is a very very dirty business. you know what i mean. watch what's going on. >> dirty business suggesting that early voting is corrupt or rigged. the same thing he said about the entire political system. the non partisan legal women voters have this to say about the early voting process. >> is there an instance you can recall that shows early voting is fraught with fraud? >> no. the -- has not been alerted that the process of early voting is one that is fraudulent. all the opposite. we understand that early voting is a common sense opposition for voters. especially now with our busy lives. >> the early voting stance wasn't the only misleading statement that trump used to fire up the crowd. >> i don't think so african americans are going to come out and vote for clinton. they are too smart, and they know they're being used. they know it.

they also know that she'll do nothing for them once the election is over. she never does. and that will never, ever change. same thing goes for hispanic voters. they are tired of being used by people like hillary clinton that have no intention of doing anything for them once the election is over. 58% of african american youth are not working. >> the problem is his number includes people who may not even be looking for a job, like high school students. according to the bureau of labor statistic, the unemployment rate for black youths stands at 19.2%. about a third of what trump cited. and then there is this assertion by trump. >> the new post debate poll that just came out. the google poll, has it leading hillary clinton by two points nationwide. and that's despite the fact that

google's search engine was suppressing the bad news about hillary clinton. how about that? how about that. >> reporter: the original source of that information is pop culture site sourcefed. >> sourcefed has discovered that google has been actively altering search recommendations in favor of hillary clinton's campaign. >> also not true. the theory has been debunked by search thread experts because the conclusion was based on a false understanding of how google's auto complete feature works. none of that stopping mr. trump from recenti irepeating misinfoo supporters. but dehid get one thing right. america had a higher crime rate. indeed murder rate supervisor 10% according to government statistics and here in california there is a sweeping new law the governor just signed into law and that is going to make it far easier for people to vote by mail and harder to vote in person.

that law gets rid of funding for thousands of local polling places, erin. >> thank you sara sidner. "outfront" now, david, let me start with you because you just saw sara's piece. the "new york times" is reported trump lied 31 different times within one week and a lot of his lies are very blatant. i didn't say this when there is a sound bite that shows she very clearly did. but the latest cnn poll shows half of all registered voters trust trump and more than hillary clinton. it is not even close. he beats her by 15 pain, david. >> listen, he gets away with it again and again and again. i must tell you, i think it is a sign not only that he is blatantly doesn't care but i think it is also a sign -- i hate to say this, but there are just a lot of people in this country who think hillary

clinton is corrupt. and they are just deeply into that school and it doesn't make any difference what donald trump says. they still want trump and ready to vote for him and think his lies don't amount to as much as his corruption. i think that is actually a false charge and they go ahead, lock her up, lock her up, which is outrageous but there we have it. a state of play in the election campaign so far. >> and patrick, when it comes to the debate, donald trump often will construct a reality and then lit become so because he says it. and he did this often during the debate primaries. at the primary debates. he would say he won on the online polls and lo and behold it would shake public opinion. he's doing it again now. >> it is the showman part of him. there is a reason with the apprentice people could come back week after week. a showman knows how to get you eating out of their hands and believing that you know exactly throw great the greatest company

in the world. for instance, he very much believes erin that the debate went really well for him. that the first 30 minutes were great and the last 30 minutes was les skpir hillary clinton who were taking things off. and from his point of view nothing gulls him more than this lie stuff he feels that the media is pushing. but as he looks towards the next debate, you know, his view what he really wants to prepare for is how to bring up these issues like benghazi and the clinton family foundation that, you know, the moderator might not bring up. and not worry so much about. >> -- having to sfond everything, right? >> i remember interviewing trump in september 2014. 15. and he said himself that he felt the trust issue was getting so baked in with hillary clinton because she couldn't come up with an answer all that summer on the e-mail question to diffuse it. and i think we're actually seeing this as true. is that he can say things that

are incorrect. he can lie. he can spread the falsehoods but for a lot of people they decided a year ago they just didn't buy it. >> so when it comes to this next debate, mark. obviously chris christie is possibly going to be involved. he was on cnn today earlier. did rule it it. he was of course the person that took down marco rubio. when marco rubio kept saying the same line about barack obama as a crutch even when it made so sense and christie was the only person on stage who did what everybody was anyi inthinking a add it out. >> they have been downgraded nine times in their credit right. this country already has a debt problem. we don't need to add to it by someone who has experience of running up, destroying the credit rating ever a state. i would add this. despell with thefection that barack obama doesn't know what he's doing. he knows exactly what he's

doing. >> the drive and the memorized 20 second speech that is exactly what his advisors gave him. >> would that style work against clinton for trump? >> i don't know. it is going to be an interesting practice. chris christie up there. long trump doesn't call him mr. piggy, i think he'll probably have some impact. i think he's very much good as the counterpuncher. whether he can get inside hillary clinton's head is a much much tougher proposition. on short notice to study her work. the people who come in and rehearsed trump have been at at a long time. they have been thinking about this for weeks. chris christie is now coming in at the last minute like a relief pitcher in the eighth or ninth ink. it is pretty hard. >> the bottom line is that chris christie would be better than what we've seen. he knows how to debate. he knows policy. there are few people that probably would stand up to

donald trump and chris christie knows how to win in many cases. the question is will he actually be there? and i don't think anyone at this table, and i don't believe donald trump is going to listen to anybody. >> -- donald trump said the biggest frustration is he is not listening to the people who have known him longest and -- right now not at all. >> up next. all of you. and hillary clinton mocking a the gary johnson -- 36 >> and jeanne moos on the many different donald trumpes of "saturday night live" ♪ just can't wait to get on the road again ♪ [ front assist sounds ] [ music stops ] [ girl laughs ] ♪ on the road again ♪ like a band of gypsies we go down the highway ♪ [ beetle horn honks ] no matter which passat you choose, you get more standard features, for less than you expected. hurry in and lease

during difficult times in europe. >> johnson says he was having a brain freeze but it is not the first time that a lock lack of basic knowledge has caused an issue for him. >> reporter: when libertarian candidate gary johnson was asked to name any foreign leader he admired, he drew a blank. >> who is your favorite foreign leader? >> who's my favorite. >> any continent, any country. name one foreign leader you respect and look up to. anybody. >> i guess i'm having an aleppo moment in the former president of mexico. >> but i'm giving you the whole world. >> i know, i know. >> i'm having a brain -- >> -- who's your favorite foreign leader. >> reporter: his campaign manager responding in a facebook post, writing this is gotcha-ism at its finest. and johnson tweeted out again,

it's been almost 24 hours and i still can't come up with a the foreign leader i look up to. and his original aleppo moment. >> what would you do about aleppo if elected. >> about? >> aleppo? >> and what is aleppo is this. >> you're kidding? >> no. >> some say the slip disqualified him from becoming president. >> i think it is a disqualifying statement, frankly. >> fair enough. >> let me ask -- >> [ inaudible ]. >> and even on domestic policy, johnson has gotten his facts confused. in response to the new york and new jersey bombings and the stabbings in a mall in minnesota. >> well first of all just grateful that nobody got hurt. >> 29 people were injured in the bombings. nine in the stabbings, johnson later tweeted he misspoke. and then there was this bizarre moment in an interview with msnbc. >> and not anything and --.

>> meanwhile johnson is polling at 8% in in cnn's poll of polls and even higher in some swing states, he's doing especially well with swing states. a voting bloc can clinton campaign desperately needs. >> if you vote for someone other than hillary or if you don't vote at all, then you are helping to elect hillary's opponent and the stakes are far too high to take that chance. >> there is a new endorsement for johnson from detroit news. the first time in its 143 year history the paper has not chosen a republican. this is important to note because the cnn orc poll shows the state of colorado, with gary johnson in the race trump leads 42- 42-41%. and with johnson out of the running clinton beats trump with

49% to his 47%. the polls are in the margin of error but worrisome for both candidates. >> thank you very much. and "outfront" next. two prominent officials say donald trump is unfit to be president. one of them is "outfront," my guest next. and jeanne moos for debate prep on snl's hillary and donald

hey, it's been crazy with school being back- so we're constantly going over our data limit. oh, well, now - all of our new plans come with no data overages. wow, no more overages? so that means... go on...say it...

it's called always discreet watch this. this super absorbent core turns liquid to gel, for incredible protection that's surprisingly thin. so i know i'm wearing it, but no one else will. always discreet for bladder leaks tonight former intelligence officials slamming donald trump. michael vickers, once under

defense for intelligence and mike morrell former cia say trump is infit and unprepared. michael vickers is advising hillary clinton on national security tonight. and thank you so much for your time. you say donald trump is unfit to be president of the united states and this debate this week have proof. why? what's the proof? >> well i've had a long career in national security as a green beret and cia operations officer and security policy maker. and never in my wlieslifetime h seen a party as infurther unfit trump is. for example i had oversight of policy for our nuclear deterrent during the second term of president bush and our nuclear weapons employment policy is not something one should talk flippantly or incoherently as mr. trump did in monday night's

debate. his russia policy really seems aimed at making russia great rather than america great. he's talked about considering lifting sanction ossen russia. recognizing they are the biggest land grab in europe since the second world war war. their annexation of crimea. he seemed in denial about russian cyberattacks on the united states and said he would leave syria, essentially, to russia, not only doing russia's bidding but also iran's. and iisil the same. he's had a policy that would play right into isil's hands. what is most troubling to me is when isisal's leadership and russia's leadership both think trump should be really great for them that. would really alarm aamericans. >> and son some things trump are will say things complete highway out box. one thing is nato.

he said it is on salute. he said he could completely change it. he's bernie criticized for that. but when you look at thatenings maybe there is something to it. the u.s. splits more of the budget than anyone else. and president obama told some allies are free riders. could he challenge the stats quo that to say wait a minute, maybe it is really broken. could that be a good thing is this. >> we well we try to shore up our alliances. and there is always work o dough but nato has really kept the peace in europe since the second world war war. and mr. trump seals to treat our alliances and partnerships, which is really a tremendous source of america's advantage as a protection racket. if you pay you might get protection but otherwise you don't. seemingly ignorant of the fact that those alliances have served u.s. interest by keeping

critical stability in east asia and in europe. >> mike, i appreciate your time very much. undersecretary of defense for intelligence speaking out against donald trump.
