of the day, good question for peter kiernan. >> wasn't that long ago netflix had on remarkable growth and all of a sudden talking about 5 million subscribers in the next 90 or 100 days, got to be netflix. stuart: i said netflix is a thing of the past, i got it wrong. >> china responded going for that spot. stuart: time is a. neil cavuto, it is yours. neil: we are in las vegas and whatever happens here, for donald trump and hillary clinton, do or die, third and final presidential debate, so-called rubber match, hillary clinton the first debate, donald trump the second, pressure on donald trump in the wake of thinking whole numbers, he has got to reverse a. connell: a lot going on already. las vegas time, candidates get ready for tomorrow night's debate and hillary clinton
12:01 pm
prepping in new york. joining us in las vegas, the prep is going, and donald trump continuing the campaign in wisconsin, a couple stops in colorado today before heading to vegas. and john podesta out there today, and and talking about a moral outrage. i don't mind dead americans, we need a bit of moral outrage, i suppose we can dial down the language, a sense of outrage,
12:02 pm

12:03 pm
your pals to organize student protests, for academic freedom bought and paid for by peabody holes, he was on it. peabody energy tried the harvard professor against the obama environmental plan on behalf of peabody. they want to organize a protest. finally for trump the other issue he may try to take advantage of and you heard this last night with allegations of quid pro quo at the clinton state department, newly released fbi documents indicate patrick kennedy, the undersecretary of state, changing the classification of an email, more agents assigned to us embassies, presuming they talk about it today, possibly back here at the debate tomorrow night.
12:04 pm
neil: two quick developments, paying close attention to a joint press conference in washington between president obama and the italian prime minister. they have thrown up a number of issues having to do with a political race. we are monitoring big advances in the dow employed in large part by what is going on with netflix, the feeling seems to be take a look at that, that is up, business is booming. this could be a sign of underlying consumer, we shall see. in the meantime we have republican congressman mark meadows of north carolina, oversight committee member concerned about a number of things not least of which are these allegations, revelations of email revelations from the likes of undersecretary kennedy and others.
12:05 pm
there has been a call that he has got to resign, donald trump saying last night the guy has got to go. are you in that camp? >> i am in that camp primarily because this is not the first time we have seen patrick kennedy get involved in terms of coming to the defense, interfering with a political motivation on behalf of hillary clinton. we see them lock stock together, a classification for something the fbi wanted or at least it appears that way as we start to look into it. not just here. a few weeks ago when democrats were looking for information they were able to get it from patrick kennedy in five days to come to the defense of hillary clinton and those emails with colin powell. nothing works fast in dc except when patrick kennedy get
12:06 pm
involved. stuart: bringing people up to speed, trying to swap a range with the fbi to declassify some classified email and exchange for more personnel overseas. we know that was not advanced by the fbi, the argument will be from the clinton folks nothing ever happened so what is the big deal. you say what? >> the big deal is we knew an investigation, all this was coming up with the secret service, patrick kennedy was not in the dark as related to that so the mere fact someone so close to hillary clinton would request that of the fbi shows there are a number of issues, no level -- the lead in as related to coaching of hillary clinton and moral outrage she is the best coach candidate out there,
12:07 pm
12:08 pm
that happened a lot happened between agencies. that covers me. stuart: he dismissed that congressman. we can conclude from the exchanges the undersecretary trying to get a classified email declassified. and offers something in return, that was a quid pro quo. >> it is and what we can determine is it was inappropriate. they can say it happens all the time but the undersecretary going in and saying the heart of this investigation was over whether she handled classified information or not and for him to say we want you to change the
12:09 pm
classification doesn't smell right. the american people know it doesn't smell right. it is all about the double standards for hillary and those on main street. if a private got to handle classified information the way she handled it they would be in the brig. instead she gets a ride on air force one. stuart: there is a comfortable lead in the polls. this is the latest snapshot where things stand. that could change, still have 3 weeks ago. even states like texas. they are going from red to tank indicating, >> i would be foolish to say -- i want my nominee to win and i can tell you donald trump, surrogates are coming to north
12:10 pm
carolina each and every day. the mainstream media focuses on his fault and ignores the corruption happening undersecretary clinton, you are fighting a two fisted fight out there but i can tell you in north carolina, he will win on november 8th, he is working harder than she is, and playing defense. anybody who has been less engaged with the media and the american people than hillary clinton in a presidential race in modern times, all about getting the message out and making sure he is fighting to change washington dc. stuart: i want to get an update whether you learned anything more about the orange county, north carolina republican headquarters bombing. several individuals, where they are, what do you know? >> we are in the investigative
12:11 pm
mode, i had people texted to me before the news broke nationally but we are a civil society, that is what we got to remember, whether you are democrat or republican or unaffiliated is all about the transition of power in a meaningful way. these events speak to the worst of who we are, a small fraction of the people, i am certain justice will prevail, we will get to the perpetrators, but no new news yet, thanks for asking. stuart: thank you, very good chatting again. as we continue life in las vegas, the scene of the third and final presidential debate, 33 hours away, donald trump campaigning in colorado today, tight race going on. hillary clinton en route to las vegas, she devoted a good deal

you were not. neil: it is interesting. that is fine. you know the city well. the latest poll numbers and sentiment, things could change, a few weeks out. texas, pink, georgia, pink. neil: polls are all over the place. charles: you brought up stuff on the show yesterday, ohio trending towards trump, north carolina trending towards trump and those i states he has got to win but i will say this. i don't know what will happen in two weeks or whenever this thing finally gets done. the money is not going to donald trump. neil: this is affecting donors who donate? neil: raising money hand over fist. i look at the numbers and all you have to look at is one number, casino magnet, long time republican promised $100 million and what we see is something
12:17 pm
like $10 million, now is the time when that $100 million should have been delivered, maybe it will come next week, i don't know but that to me, sheldon gives $10 million, when the rickets family, they don't like trump much. trump went after them. they were supporting them. cruz at the time. they are long time loyal republicans, $1 million. neil: hillary clinton's total hold. charles: $500 million versus donald's which is 220 million. neil: assuming you use the money in the final flurry in the end. charles: in battleground states. against donald, hillary, battling it, this is a battleground state, nevada, but
12:18 pm
the big donors largely sat this out. what is fascinating about clinton's ability to raise money, money matters because organization getting people out to vote and carpet bombing, what is fascinating is friends at goldman sachs, don't give me any money but they -- neil: they are not now. the banks are out of it, it is a combination of hollywood people and hedge funds and stuff like that. neil: what if she used that money? she is sitting on it. charles: one thing about the clintons is they are good at this. they get out the vote in battleground states, they have staffers putting people at rallies, this guy, this trump supporter, they start -- that is what they do, they ease their money and they will carpet bomb,
12:19 pm
that is the problem with donald not raising money and to be quite frank about it, if he is worth $10 billion he should start spending some of it. neil: it does up the ante for this debate. charles: they say he has to have a home run. without sounding shrill and that might be difficult because he is a fighter, counterpunch or, when you counterpunch a fight, you default, hard not to be, hard to fight. he has a tough road but listen. you look at the polls and it looks like people want a reason to vote for him and against her. her numbers on popularity don't get above 45%. neil: doesn't grow as much as he drops and if he could reverse that time is wasting.
12:20 pm
charles: a lot of republicans keep the senate because of that number. they are voting against him. they vote for the republican candidates. charles: having a good time? did it work out? i was looking for her. charles: you hit me -- lots of lattes last night. neil: pumpkin capital of the world. why don't you try it? a lot more coming up. donald trump on offense on another measure that could put hillary clinton on defense in the debate, ethics in the house and senate. you hold an elected job, you are president of the united states you can't average off that for profit after you leave office. the concept, let's see if it is a popular one. you can run an errand.

>> so here is what we as a group are announcing. first i'm going to introduce a five year ban on all executive branch official lobbying the government for five years after they leave government. [cheers and applause] neil: that was donald trump's way of going after hillary clinton saying you can't leverage off your time in office for quick profits or speeches referring to her husband as well, profiting off of that time in the white house. and stewardship of the state department. whether it goes anywhere is anyone's guest. congressman chris collins,
12:25 pm
republican in new york, one of the earliest trump backers, do you think that will resonate, something you should have at this final debate? >> good to be with you. no question donald trump is one of the few people, private-sector guy entering politics who can bring up ethics reform and the contrast to hillary that most people recognize, former politicians, current politicians that have ever taken advantage of their office, leaving the white house, quote, dead broke, w of million, disgusted with politics, money and the revolving door with elected officials, local states, federal level, a career path it says i will serve x number of years and then go back to the private sector, leverage off the finance, make millions of dollars as a lobbyist, leaving a bad taste in the public's mind,
12:26 pm
donald trump is one of the few who could legitimately bring this up clearly as president when he leaves, he won't be lobbying congress. it is a very good pivot for him, and issue, a real issue, hillary will not defend the money gram after they left office so it is a very good issue. neil: we have three weeks ago. the trend is not donald trump's friends, your friends in the house and senate are worried if it is hillary clinton who wins by a big enough margin she could take the senate and/or the house with her. >> she is not going to get the house was we may come back with 130 members instead of 147 but we always knew we would lose 7 a rate based on our retirement. it is a substantial majority.
12:27 pm
i do believe donald trump is going to win. it is close in these battleground states, probably undercover trump voters the energy with his supporters dwarfs the energy behind hillary's campaign. neil: it looked like it would be rejected, the colombian accord, ultimately rejected by columbia voters or populist wave like that triumphed. >> i absolutely do and likely voters, people being polled are likely voters, that is not a turn out model i think we will see and brexit is the best example of that. the 6 states you have to win, florida, nevada and new hampshire, he is either leading or within the margin of error in all 6 of those states.
12:28 pm
and like a lot -- neil: he is leading in only one of them. >> leading in iowa. >> he has to -- it is doable, it could be the difference. i said this to the campaign, calm, cool, collected, they leave the combat of angry donald trump on the sidelines for the next debate to take these folks who don't want to vote for hillary clinton but having difficulty warming up to donald trump. he needs to reach out on the sidelines, don't want to vote for hillary and his demeanor tomorrow night could be the difference, and the campaign team, we will see what happens
12:29 pm

for the third and final presidential debate tomorrow. hillary clinton enroute, donald trump wants to get in some last minute campaigning before stepping into that ring for the third and final time here. if you buy polls, and they are all over the map in individual states, but the trend has been hillary clinton's friend overall in the aggregate. 270 electoral vote is the what you need, and she is benefiting more of late for donald trump's problems and tapes that are revealed and allegations that have come out, less so from any attention paid to these wikileaks where the coverage is, shall we say, slightly disproportional. alan -- [inaudible] is a longtime hillary and bill clinton friend. alan, very good to have you. >> nice to be with you again, neil. neil: what do you make of where this race stands right now? donald trump says there is a force that's not reflected in the polls that will turn out for him. in other words, a lot of people
12:35 pm
are, i guess by his reckoning, ashamed to say they're going to vote for donald trump, but they will on november 8th. what do you think? >> i think it's wishful thinking. i mean, i think -- obviously, i'm biased, spending a great deal of hi time in new york, but i was out in minneapolis last week. i mean, it's hard to find avid trump supporters. i know they're out there, but, you know, they're either hiding under bushes or around trees or someplace. neil: where were you spending your time, in new york city? >> of course. but i just said i was in minneapolis -- neil: oh, okay. that's a hard place to find them. >> yeah. i just think that the polls, you know, are not really, in my opinion, reflecting just how broad the spread may be. i've seen 11%, and you see it down at 4, 2%, it's all over the place at the moment. neil: yeah. you know, you've known the clintons a good, long time, so maybe you can vouch for what is the real hillary, because in a
12:36 pm
lot of these wikileaks that come out, she seems to be very choreographed, very cautious, even down to advising her when to smile, when to engage. is she that, you know, tentative about every little detail? >> neil, i think that anyone in the position she is and being, having to face the onslaught continually of critics which are, don't -- are relentless, frankly x they have been for many, many years has to be sensitive to everything they do. and i think that the real sad thing in my opinion, personal opinion, is knowing her as well as i do is that the real hillary clinton is really not coming out. i think, frankly, it will come out when she is president clinton, because she has a very warm personality. she's very relaxed as a person. she does not these to be programmed. she's her own person, and she's very, very smart, has very good
12:37 pm
ideas, and i think that unfortunately in the, being on camera all the time, she has to be a lot more circumspect about every single word and every action whether turning to the left, turning to the right, what color she wears, everything you can imagine. and i think -- neil: but, but i understand that, alan, but here's what -- which is the real hillary clinton then? the one in the e-mails that seems to show support for the banking industry, is empathetic and sympathetic to some of their concerns and to capitalists, or the one who rails against them with bernie sanders up on the stage, the one who at least behind closed doors seems to be open to unfettered, unrestricted trade or the one who rails against those trade agreements to audiences? i just get a sense of two hillarys here. >> neil, i honestly will tell you my opinion is that she's been put many in a very, very difficult position -- as, by the
12:38 pm
way, a lot of candidates are -- and they are put in a corner and have to be defensive about various issues that, you know, in the light of day and when they're in a better position, i think we'll hear a more nuanced position. i think an example is -- neil: but that nuanced position is what i personally, alan, find very promising. when i hear her talking about being open to free trade, not badgering all capitalists, that hillary that emerges in these wikileaks i kind of like. i mean, that seems like a very pragmatic, bill clinton-like negotiator and one who's willing to bend and we're -- and weave and be flexible. the one on the stump, you know, quite the opposite. so if she were to get elected, will she be hillary clinton in those e-mails or hillary clinton on the stump? >> i'll go on a definitive basis and tell you you're going to get
12:39 pm
a nuanced individual. the tpp is a perfect example. she's been put in the corner for being against this issue. she's stuck there, she can't get out of that corner by bernie and trump -- neil: so you don't think she really is anti-tpp, when she originally called it the gold standard, that's what she meant? >> i think she will, when the light of day appears if it doesn't get resolved during the lame duck session, i think she will find some lawyers that can be, hopefully, improved and declare victory and say i got what i wanted, this is a better deal than we had originally. i mean, there are some things that, obviously, people would like to see improved, and, you know, in -- neil: so what you're saying is she's much more, she's much more amenable, flexible than she appears on the stump, and trade is just an example, right? >> absolutely. absolutely. i mean, i think if we don't pass tpp personally, i think it will be a real shame for american business. and it will be fighting in a

because there are a lot of times when things don't go our way or my way. neil: all right. i'm not one to cast aspersions here, but wasn't in the same guy who railed against fox news? but i digress. donald trump is whining, that's essentially what the president's saying, and he's just got to make his candidate to the american people. hill media reporter joins us now. does the president have a point that donald trump's been spending too much time complaining about a rigged system than addressing it head on if that were the casesome. >> neil, you have too much class to cast aspersions. i, however, don't have much, so i will cast aspersions. and, yes, this is a president that is more thin-skinned than alec baldwin, right? and he has railed against, say, fox news more than any president has ever railed against one media outlet and media coverage in. general. also the same administration
12:46 pm
that has rejected more foia requests than any administration in history, and they set that record last year with plenty of time to go, so probably shouldn't be giving too many lessons on the media and complaining considering this president has made an art of it in his seven and a half years in office. neil: joe, you and i have chatted about this before. your last appearance with me got thousands of e-mails. i can see why donald trump feels the system is rigged against him insofar the media coverage of words he has said and allegations that have come up sometimes from over a decade ago versus very real, very relevant e-mails that have leaked out from hillary clinton, some as recently as weeks, months ago. so he says that's not fair, and we crunched the numbers, and he's right in this respect, that the media will offer ten times the coverage of his travails than hers. but how does he address that without looking like a baby? >> i think he needs to stop addressing it, because if you look at the poll numbers, they're not moving in a
12:47 pm
direction that he needs them to with three weeks to go in order to win this election. while it's really great fodder for guys like you and me in this bubble that we live in, this media bubble, voters don't really care about it at home. his core base does, and they'll be very angry about it. but as far as bringing in independents, they want to know how he's going to create jobs, fight isis, so on and so forth, and the media bias has already been a losing proposition for republicans, and this will be no exception. you're right about the numbers, just last week we had a 23 to 1 ratio about negative news from trump -- neil: right, right. >> but only one minute given to wikileaks which is newsworthy stuff. you've got to dig into these things sometimes. washington post/abc news poll actually showed that trump is only down four points. you're like, okay, that's the lead. but when you dig into the questions of the poll, there were 38 questions. six pertained to trump and
12:48 pm
allegations against him by those women. zero about clinton and wikileaks. is sometimes bias is very, very apparent, and sometimes it's very subtle. and that was just one example of how even a poll and poll questions can be biased at this point. neil: you know, joe, i talk to a lot of media types. we're all, we work in the same business, so some left of center, some maybe not so left of center. and they explain the why, why the wikileaks stuff is hard to explain, because it's layered. it's an e-mail, it's an exchange, it's quid pro quo, it's not as simple or as salacious as a sex scandal or provoking women or something like that. and i immediately said, well, make it a point to explain it then. because it matters. but it falls on deaf ears. >> yeah. we're in a world of fast food journalism, neil, at this point. and to explain something that may take a couple of paragraphs as opposed to donald trump was

veritas from james to keefe. unverified video, but it is somewhat bombshell because it speaks to what's been happening at trump rallies and campaign events and who is behind any of the trouble. now, basically revealing a coordinated effort to peg trump supporters as dangerous, chaotic, anarchy almost. in the stay the national field director of americans united for change is recorded on camera explaining the tactic of bird dog which, essentially, is -- bird dog which, essentially, is provoking trump supporters to react. take a listen. >> if you're there and you do these actions, you will be attacked. >> oh, oh, so that's part of process. the reaction. >> the whole point of it is we know the trump people will [bleep] out. the security team will freak out. >> well, that's exciting, isn't it. the man you saw on that tape has
12:56 pm
been removed from his job, he's no longer with americaned united for change. now, the tape also has another official, aaron black, he's the dnc rapid response coordinator also bragging that he coordinates, essentially, troublemakers at trump events. take a listen to this. >> if i'm in there coordinating with all the groups on the ground and sort of playing field general, but they're the ones talking to the cameras. then it's actually people. but if we send out press advisories with dnc on them and clinton campaign, it just doesn't have the same effect. >> and, neil, even more shockingly the tape reveals people bragging that they paid homeless people and mentally ill people to create the trouble at the trump events. so very interesting, bombshell stuff really. neil: yeah. we'll see if anyone else even remotely covers it. ashley webster, thank you very much, my friend. >> sure. neil: a lot more coming in our
12:57 pm
1:00 pm
neil: all right. welcome back. second hour of "coast to coast" here from las vegas where what is going to happen here tomorrow is not just going to stay here, it could reverberate nationally, and for donald trump, he hopes in a positive way to reverse poll numbers that across the country -- depending on what you're looking at -- have not exactly been his friend of late. but, you know, there are a lot of things that are left out in going after the candidates. if you look at this map that seems to be in response to the constant vetting of stories concerning anything having to do with donald trump, not so much any stories with hillary clinton. we told you how the math prohibitively favors bad stories
1:01 pm
on donald trump versus virtually any story on hillary clinton. so the chief congressional correspondent with the washington examiner, you know, susan, just looking through a lot of the e-mails have that have been released, this effort, an uncozy relationship between even the state department, the obama white house, the campaign, trying to get its way even redacting, you know, e-mails, reclassifying classified e-mails, there's a lot there yet very little mention in the mainstream media about any of it. what do you make of that? >> yeah. i heard you talking about this in a prior segment today, neil, and i think you're right on when it's talked about in the sense that what is easier for voters to understand. i mean, these, this trove of e-mails about what was going on between the state department, hillary clinton, the clinton foundation, so much there.
1:02 pm
a lot of it is complicated, and a lot of it has to do with, you know, the quid pro quos and the money equals access in washington. that's really hard for voters to really get a grip on, unfortunately. because i think if they could understand it, they would be really furious -- neil: yeah, but i don't see, susan, with the exception of people -- i don't see too many trying to even make the effort, even half the effort. >> well, exactly. yeah. neil: pay for play, quid pro quo, trying to exact favors, i mean, a lot of this is explained in a sentence or two. it isn't that difficult. >> well, what's easier to understand, you know, a videotape of someone saying lewd things about women or, you know, the way a corporation gains access to the head of the state department by donating money to a foundation that she doesn't operate but is parallel to her universe? it's really hard to understand. and, but i do think voters get it at a certain level because if
1:03 pm
you do look at the polls on this particular issue, the vast majority of voters believe something inappropriate was going on, there was influence and exchange for money, and the voters don't think it was such a great thing. and if that is evident in the polls, it's just the question is how much does that influence who they're going to vote for. do they care about it enough -- neil: well, it hasn't yet, and the widening gap in some -- not all polls, some polls -- owes more to donald trump dropping than hillary clinton rising. now, again, three weeks to go, a lot of that could change. but the impression is set that she will gain by his continuing not to move up. what do you think of that? >> that's exactly true. he's been stuck at his 40%. we've been talking about it all campaign season. and he's also having, he's also dropping amongst people he really needs to be gaining with because of all these stories about his relationship with women and things he's said about women. you know, people at this stage
1:04 pm
in the game, neil, vote with their gut or decide with their gut, especially people that haven't made up their minds yet. who do i pick here, i don't like either candidate, they hear about trump saying this or that or see a video, that may push them towards hillary clinton because they say, oh, i just don't like that. they're able to relate to it more easily than truly understanding what was going on which, for many voters, is quite disturbing about the way the clinton foundation operated alongside hillary during her tenure at the state department and what it could mean when she's president. because if she does win the election and she becomes president, you have this unprecedented situation where she'll be dealing with entities, special interests, foreign governments who have donated to the clinton foundation. how is that going to work? and i think that's something voters should be thinking about. neil: yeah. they don't appear to be but, again, i could be missing something. susan, thank you very, very much. finish all right, she touched on the one issue that is getting a lot of media attention, and
1:05 pm
donald trump, things he said 11 years ago. women just coming out this past week with rethis newed allegations, whether -- renewed allegations, whether that's fair. finally, melania trump trying to set the record straight, and she has a theory she raised on "fox & friends," what's really going on. melania trump. >> many times i gave him advice and i didn't agree to do all the tapes on howard stern, with billy bush because i know those people. they hook him on, they try to get from him some inappropriate and dirty language. neil: all right. so melania trump saying it was her husband egged on by the likes of billy bush and howard stern. a.j. delgado here, good to see you. >> good to see you, neil. neil: what did you think of that? >> she's absolutely right.
1:06 pm
these are entertainers. this is, at the end of the day, a reporter who wants to get something or hear a particular salacious remark come out of donald trump -- neil: i don't know, i heard that billy bush, he was doing fine egging himself on. >> well, it's the environment he's in, right? you're talking to an entertainment reporter, so i think you go out of your way to use hyperbole, to kind of show off a little. so the environment -- neil: how many men do you know who do that? >> i've seen people do it. neil: really? >> i've seen well-regarded, famous individuals talk a certain way -- neil: like i'll do that to get first on the buffet line, but -- [laughter] in other words -- >> you don't get in trouble, neil. good for you. neil: let me ask you, this was melania trump's effort to try to de-heat this -- >> right. neil: -- whole crisis. did it work? >> it did. it's over now. listen, the one person that has the most right to be offended is melania.
1:07 pm
what he did was wrong, he apologized -- neil: this was her stand by your man moment. >> and she should. he was just talking to another guy -- neil: but all the other allegations, she said this has to be settled in a court of law, all these women that came forward last week -- >> right. well, none of these allegations are credible. i've looked at it as a woman -- neil: a lot of them said that they were ing it, i think they did it, the argument was because they heard him say in the last debate that he never acted on this talk. >> right. well, that also makes it kind of suspicious, and what makes me wonder if there is some sort of coordinated attack. notice exactly what he said he would do is these women now just a couple of weeks after he said those things came out and said, oh, he did that to me. strange, you never mentioned this up until a couple of weeks before the election. neil: are you worried about other tapes, other bombshells that could drop and in that event how he should handle it, you and the campaign handle it? >> well, because you're always
1:08 pm
worried additional false accusations could come up. i don't put anything past the hillary campaign, anybody could make anything up, and we're living in a media landscape where these people are believed. all you have to do is come forward and say that person sexually assaulted me and you're believed? i don't think it's in anyone's interest to want to support what's going on here. we should accept a credible person and look at these situations before we rush to believe them as we have so horrifically this past week or two. neil: he has come up again and again and talked about a rigged system. a lot of people interpreted that to mean he would not honor the outcome of this election if he lost. is that true? >> well, that's something you'd have to ask him. i think just as kellyanne said, he would honor it unless there's some sort of widespread evidence or indication that something went wrong. look, the system is rigged, neil. look at the media. we took a look at what the --
1:09 pm
neil: ono, you're right. -- no, you're right. it does seem stacked against him. when he was talking about something rigged, was he talking about the media which always seems to have it out for conservative candidates, him, or that the voting might be rigged, that there might be case after case -- because that's what you need to prove a rigged system. but if he loses by a lot, proving something rigged would be harder to do. >> well, it is hard to prove, but the possibility's always there. this happened in the 1960 popular election, that one was stolen. this happens routinely, unfortunately -- neil: well, you could argue -- >> it does happen. neil: -- whether 1960 was stolen -- >> well, there was voter fraud. no, that's a fact -- neil: but must have to turn the electoral vote around -- >> maybe not. neil: the campaign gave the impression, a.j., that he will not go down quietly if he loses and that whatever happens after this rough election, that could
1:10 pm
send a bad signal. what do you think? >> well, listen, if the process plays out the way it's supposed to and there isn't indication that anything went wrong, then of course he would accept the results. but if there is indication that something went on where the american public was cheated out of their vote, no, i wouldn't want him to accept that quietly. neil: what if he won and they said the election was rigged? >> well, if there was widespread evidence that something went wrong, i would expect them to challenge it as well. it goes both ways. they're welcome to do that. neil: do you really believe that? >> democrat voter fraud? [laughter] it could happen. neil: that this is just setting people up for disappointment? >> no, i still firmly believe that we're in for a victory on november 8th. neil: so you agree with him that his support is understated and that it will be like the surprises we had with brexit and elsewhere -- >> think of all these new voters that are registering. they're not captured by polling companies. neil: thank you, a.j., very much. all right, we did talk about, and i think this is a point that
1:11 pm
should be repeated, there have been polls conducted prior to big events that ended up being very, very wrong. brexit one of them. the colombian peace agreement with rebels, that was supposed to be overwhelmingly passed in colombia, rejected by voters there. so there is precedent to what a.j. was saying about polls that miss stuff, big stuff. we're on it after this. ♪ ♪ you can run an errand.

1:15 pm
beautiful here, stunningly beautiful. but if you look at what's going on in this race at this time, polls are one thing, and you know we in the media love to obsess over polls and trends, and you've seen the latest development on this map that shows even reliable republican states have gone from red to sort of an off-red to binge so they're not -- to pink so they're not necessarilylonged to the grand old party. polls often times are wrong, very, very wrong. polls on brexit showed it would easily go down in defeat. of course, we know what happened. it did not. polls in colombia showed after the government cobbled together a deal with rebels there, that it would be easily passed by colombian voters. in fact, it was a 35% approval over rejected polling result, and it was ended up being the mere opposite, it was voted down. my only point in repeating this and relaying these examples is this has been a year we've seen a lot of these things where
1:16 pm
populist waves that have been understated pop up on referendum day, i could extend this to votes in upper saxny, lower saxny, you've heard where the conservative government ended up getting a thrashing. none of that was showing up in the polls. so that's one of the things a lot of the trump folks point to, the understated rage out there. and also the number of people who will not say publicly that they're going to vote for donald trump, but in the privacy of a voting booth do just that. steve hilton is a former strategy director to british leader david cameron on that phenomenon. it is a real phenomenon, i guess, steve. is it your sense that it will play here? >> neil, it's great to be with you. you look like you're having fun there in vegas. i'm heading out afternoon, so i'm looking forward to that. neil: excellent. >> i think that there really are a lot of parallels with what happened with brexit. i think the biggest one is just the underlying political and
1:17 pm
economic realities which is that you've got both here in america and you saw in the u.k. millions and millions of people who really have been left behind by globalization and technology and feel that whoever they elect, whether in the u.k. it's a british, conservative government or labour, here in america whether it's republicans or democrats in charge, nothing in their life seems to change. and with brexit they finally expressed that rage that you described and said we've had enough, and we're just going to go for it. and the similar sentiment seems to be going on here and as well you've got this complete unity really amongst the political and media establishment that does this kind of moral shaming that says that in the brexit context the if you support brexit, then you're some kind of xenophobe, a racist, all that -- neil: right, i remember. >> and here in america it's really summed up by hillary clinton's list of deplorables. and that does mean that there are a lot of people who just don't want to admit that they're going to support trump here.
1:18 pm
but i don't think that the trump campaign would be wise to rely on that, to count on that happening. it's not a substitute for what they really should be doing now which is going out there and making those economic arguments. because that is the real reason they'll win or lose, is whether people really believe they're going to deliver the change that they want to see. neil: you know, there could be something to what you say, steve. one of the things i do notice though that four years ago a lot of the romney people, including mitt romney himself, saying, you know, our support is understated. it turned out that it was about what polls showed the trends to be, in fact, a little greater in the end than what polls said. but they clung to the notion that a lot of people, conservative voters, republican voters in this case were underrepresented in polls. that was not the case then. so i'm wondering -- >> yeah, i mean. neil: brexit was clearly something like that, but what is the difference then versus now? >> i think the difference is to do with the nature of the argument which is actually in a
1:19 pm
way beyond traditional partisan politics. to be honest, everyone who seems to be behind in a poll often says, well, the polls understate our true support. neil: right, right, right. >> but i think that there is a difference with brexit and with trump this time, and that's because the nature of the argument actually transcends to a certain extent those normal political boundaries in the sense that you've got a lot of democrats who also have been hurt by globalization and technology, who have lost out, who are supporting trump. and i think that what you've got are people who feel there's no -- in the past there's been no point voting because all the politicians are the same. so it doesn't matter who you vote for, nothing's going to change. but with brexit they felt that, well, here something really might change because it's a really big decision. similarly with trump, you might have people who have given up on politics who show up to vote for the first time maybe in a long time because they see him as different from the normal
1:20 pm
political back and forth and someone who really might change things as opposed to all these politicians in the past who say they'll change things, but nothing really seems to be different in their lives. neil: yeah. and that's one thing that disturbs republicans as >> that's exactly right. neil: the mainstream are not too enamored of mr. trump. thank you, my friend, appreciate it. >> good to be with you, neil. neil: all right. steve touched on this, this idea that change can be unwelcome by even the party that would be undergoing the change. why some republicans are more fearful of donald trump winning than losing. the read from a former republican governor of this fine state after this. ♪ ♪

neil: all right. we have some late polls that are coming out. this one just shows what's happening in this state, right? is it this state, in nevada? i think it is. the presidential race as it stands right now in this state, hillary clinton is up by seven points. that's the latest numbers we have, and it covers the period that includes not only the latest group of women who have come out to challenge donald trump, but also the latest wikileaks developments that don't get, frankly, as much attention. the former governor of this fine state with me right now. governor, very good to have you. >> great to be here. thank you, neil. neil: what do you think of that, seven-point gap? do you buy that? >> i don't buy that. that's the worst one we've seen from the republican standpoint. but i think it's much lower than that. i think it's very, very close. neil: now, this state is
1:25 pm
always -- i don't know what, purple, i guess, right? >> it is. yeah, we're a swing state, we're a purple state. neil: right. >> and i think, i think that poll is not what i'm seeing or feeling out there. neil: okay. >> i think it's very tight. neil: it just so happens to be the latest monmouth -- other polls, nationally as you might have seen, governor, show hillary clinton has a distinct electoral edge, electoral vote edge. >> yes. neil: so the pressure's on donald trump to try to reverse that, and how does he do that? >> well, of course, he comes into this big debate this week, and i think, i think it's going to mean a whole lot. if he can talk about the need to come back to the basic need for change in washington, you know, no more of this same old same old, i think that the, what's happened there is that the administrations come and administrations go, and k street stays the same, and the lobbyist corps are the fourth branch of government really.
1:26 pm
and the eternally invested government employees continue their influence from administration to administration. and i think that people are just, they don't like the way it feels. they don't like that sense of there's never any change there. it just kind of goes -- neil: donald trump has said that rage is underrepresented in the polls. do you buy that, that that he actually is doing much better than the polls would indicate? >> i do. and, you know, the polls are, as you know, they've been all over the place. neil: indeed. >> so there is a rage there about that. i mean, i feel that, and be i've been a part of the, you know, the administration in many ways. i've been part of the establishment. neil: and, you know, you yourself notwithstanding, many of them -- i always get a feeling, governor, don't want donald trump to win. >> they don't. neil: that he would be more of a headache for them winning than losing. >> yeah.
1:27 pm
neil: what is it? >> well -- neil: that bad blood is not going away. >> people like, those that are there in washington, the establishment, they like the way it is. they have their slot, they go home every night, doesn't matter that much who's in the white house. i think they fear a complete shake-up, a new attitude. and i think he's got to portray that. he needs to, certainly, talk about the differences that he has -- neil: he doesn't do that sometimes. >> i know. neil: he goes off on these personal attacks. and i understand the rage, where it's coming from, but time's wasting, right? >> well, it really is wasting. you know, we have a very short period of time. and he's busy on defending himself on silly stuff, and he's got to get back on track and talk about what needs to be done here in terms of isis, in terms of -- i liked his talking about inner cities and reviving them, i liked the jobs, all of those things are so important. neil: are you worried though when you see the hillary clinton
1:28 pm
folks going into deep red states, campaigning there, putting up -- advertising there, that they're not only trying to run out the clock, i think one republican described it as run up the electoral vote. >> yeah. i think that -- i am worried about that. neil: do you think she could do that if she were to win, if these polls were to stick, that she could take one or both houses with her? >> well, i think the senate in particular, of course, is in play. neil: yeah. >> the house to some degree. i don't think she's going to take the house, but -- and i think there's a good chance we're still going to hold onto the senate. but if he'll get back on track, you know, and talk about how important it is, the appointments to the supreme court. i mean, that alone ought to bring a lot of republicans home. maybe they -- neil: it hasn't yet. and maybe others materialize. but do you think that after this election it's just going to be a fractured party? >> if she wins and maybe even if he wins -- neil: yeah, yeah, either way. >> yeah. there's got to be some healing

take place -- neil: right. >> absolutely. a lot of people feel like they've been, who have worked in the party for a long time feel like they've been left behind. they liked it the way it was before, just comfortable going forward -- neil: right, right. >> and so it's, the republican national committee's going to see some changes. i think there'll be quite a bit of a fractured party. neil: all rightful we'll see what happens. governor, thanks for coming -- >> nice to be here. neil: all right. excuse me. we are getting more -- i'm sorry -- details on what the polls are telling us about the uncommitted voter, the independent voter. that is going to be crucial, because a good many of them are women. what we're learning, what we're finding out after this. ♪ ♪

1:34 pm
>> well, it is very, very true. i mean the problem for hillary clinton is she has this serial history, whitewater, special prosecutor, asked for the documents, the rose law firm billing documents. she said, bill clinton said, we don't know where they are. two years later they were found in her white house private quarters, with her fingerprints all over them, not figuratively, literally. the fbi found her fingerprints on those documents. same thing happened with filegate where they accessed files of former employees of the bush administration, claim they hadn't. then a memo surfaced that they had. same thing happened with the travelgate, where they fired these employees, replaced them with their own so they could get these lucrative private contracts, charter flight income, and said she had nothing to do with it. two years later a watkins memo surfaces, shows she was behind it.
1:35 pm
and retroactively tried to find evidence to fire those employees. so long before this current crisis of the foundation, and emails, she has a serial problem saying one thing but privately doing or saying something different. neil: now, it is not hurt her in the polls. i guess the issue is, that it is not so much her rising in the polls as much as donald trump falling, in light of comments he made 11 years ago and women who came back and said he acted on those comments. having said all of that, it has been a very nasty campaign in that respect. charges back and forth, one with higher negatives than the other. they do. how do these kind of campaigns, historically, end? can, no matter who wins, can we get back to governing? can either side work with the other? what is your sense? >> oh, yes, we'll go on, but you
1:36 pm
make a very good point, my friend. barry fits always says carnality trumps corruption. neil: i like that. >> we're interested who donald trump may be dating whether there is corruption. remember the 1972 election, they elected richard nixon in a landslide and poo-pooed watergate. it came back after the election. neil: that's right, the break-in happened that summer but didn't hit people a summer later when the watergate hearings. we had all the revelations. do you think, though, this is something that, if hillary clinton were to get elected, and at least one of the houses remains in republican hands, i guess depends on how it goes, we would see a lot of hearings, a lot of investigations? i mean that, how we start things off? >> it's possible because of the media. it will all depend on the media. there are 10 companies that provide the 0% -- 90% of what we
1:37 pm
buy. they wanted hillary clinton to get her elected president. if they get her elected president that is done and trump threat is over. they may let journalists pursue their stories the way they want and hillary would be fair game and start to explore and follow some of these trails to see where they ultimately lead. so that is possible. neil: doug, at this point, three weeks to go, someone trailing, in most of the major polls, do they ever come back? has there been a precedent where they come back? >> there are times where the polls fool you. i heard you with your earlier guest, the governor, talking about what was different with the romney. the big difference is evangelical vote. romney made no effort whatsoever. wouldn't cross the street to shake hands with a evangelical leader around they stayed home by the millions. it looked to romney like he was going to win. it didn't turn out that way. trump however has gone after those voters.

neil: all right. i think we had a shot little earlier of mike pence in orange county, north carolina. this was the republican headquarters that was firebombed over the weekend. he is getting a view right now of the facility. they still haven't gotten to the bottom who was responsible for this, whether one person, several people. nazi signs were painted around the structure itself. this was universally condemned by republicans and democrats. bottom line, they have not really gotten behind who did it. we'll keep you posted. with us shelley kumar a republican hindu coalition chairman. before you say hindu coalition, how big after voting bloc is that? 3 million strong. typically a democratic voting
1:44 pm
bloc by 70%-30%, but it could be changing, all bus donald trump has been reaching out to this group. shelley kumar with us. very good to have you, sir. thank you for coming. >> thank you for having me here. neil: what has happened here? i didn't realize it was such a large voting bloc and it does turn out? not that we can expect a third of that to come to the polls. virtually 80% do. what has donald trump done to reach out to them they're responding more favorably than they have to a lot of republican candidates? >> first let me tell you demographics of hindu americans in the united states. that is actually more like four million people, not just from india, but from other countries like fiji, from caribbean, from africa, from nepal, from sri lanka and so forth. that is a little broader group. one out of 10 is an
1:45 pm
entrepreneur, in business, and so the first thing which is most attractive to the hindu-american businessmen, once again, one out of 10, is some kind of a business entrepreneur, is, the donald trump's stance on business. we see a train wreck coming with hillary clinton and, therefore, we are heavily in support of donald trump. you know, if you remember some time back, but there was a card check legislation which was proposed by obama, and hillary clinton will push it even further, and so lots of policywise, it is a train wreck with hillary clinton, with respect to foreign policy. that is also a big problem, as hindu-americans we -- neil: do you think that it will be like that tradition i guess, i heard this group tends to vote
1:46 pm
democrat but you think this go round it could be other way around? >> that is correct. there is information vacuum. when people come to know, you know, hindus, indianss are busy in their professions and securing their place in the society, first generation, you know, going after business, learning professions, or exceeding in their professions. they're not focused on politics or policy either. once they come to know about it and i find it everywhere i go, that when i tell them what the democrat policies are, and in particularly hillary clinton policies are, then they all, almost 90%, any crowd i go to, there is like a 90% conversion to the trump side particularly trump in general. republican side. but trump side, for sure because everybody among us recognizes that what the country needs at
1:47 pm
this time is a businessman, not a politician. a politician talks in terms of politics. i've been with enough politicians you could tell that i'm talking to a politician. first time i met mr. trump, on july theth, you could feel -- july 9th, you feel, for example, i'm talking to a chairman of general motors or ford. it is a very straight talk, you know. there is no pretense. and the country needs an outsider. the country needs a non-politician, and i give it to, to mr. trump to go through all this trouble. he would be happy, you know in his business building what he does best, it is his love for the country that he is going through this whole cycle, this media scrutiny and, it just media attack.
1:48 pm
i mean just like he is really not running against hillary. he is running against the media. neil: so you don't buy what hillary clinton says that he is not a very good businessman? that he had a billion dollar loss and thereabouts in 1995, and if he was such a smarty pants, he wouldn't have that? you say what? >> no. he is a great businessman. i mean, you know, yes, there were some bankruptcies in some buyouts he had. that is business law. neil: okay. >> otherwise he has built a great, fantastic business. and his policies are not just, his background, what the policies he is promoting. lower taxes, lower regulations. energy, trade with india, which is very important to us. there is, there are india, is energy-hungry. india could use american energy. america could use india's as customer. neil: very good point. we have a lot of that.

1:53 pm
>> despite this trouble, everybody is okay and just being asured, that in the next -- be assured next three weeks we'll work our hearts out here in orange county and across north carolina to make america great again. so thank you very much for the opportunity to be here and be happy to take a question or two. [applause] [inaudible] >> tell me, what if anything you think this says about this year's campaign season? >> well, i'm not in the habit of blaming victims of crime. what happened here on saturday night was utterly inexcusable. it was a act of political terrorism. against the good people of orange county. and really against the american political system. i think it, we, we all of us, across the political spectrum, condemn the acts that took place this weekend in the strongest possible terms.
1:54 pm
we would do well to do that. >> governor -- >> yesterday you talked in the campaign about the rigged elections. do you agree with your running mate, donald trump, that -- some elections in this country are going to be rigged? polling places on november 8th, will be rigged? do you believe that? >> the point donald trump has made, is a combination frankly of the overwhelming bias in the national media and this election evident to observers, really across the spectrum. i mean, honest with you, since i joined this campaign i've been astonished at level of negative coverage of my running mate and scant coverage of an avalanche of scandals and corruption coming out of the campaign of hillary clinton. but today is all, but today is, today is also evidence of that, ladies and gentlemen. i mean i'm here to call attention to act of political terrorism on the orange county republican headquarters in north carolina. this has gotten very little national media attention.
1:55 pm
and i can't help but feel that had this been the other way around, and had been an attack in this count on the other political party's county headquarters the little of national media coverage and discussion would be significantly different. i think most of the american people know that. with regard to elections themselves, i'm someone that believes in local participation. there is no question whether it be in the state of indiana or in other states around the county, which have instances, proven instances of voter fraud. that is why donald trump and i are encouraging all of our supporters around the country, frankly every american, whatever their politics, to take the opportunity to be involved in a respectful way in providing accountability at our polling places. the one person one vote principle is the very bedrock of our democracy. and insuring through participation, in the process
1:56 pm
of, of, sass assembling the vote between now and november theth, is a certain way -- 8th, certain way american people can insure the integrity of the election. i'm confident we'll do that. >> governor, are you suggesting that the existing, long-standing bipartisan tradition of pole watching, that both parties worked out for years is not enough? are you talking about something in addition to that? mr. trump seems to be suggesting that has not been enough. >> poll watching and accountability built into state laws that govern elections searched us well.look, we're enf our supporters, given enormous importance of this election, given the dramatic choice the american people face in this election, to be involved, to take the opportunity, to respectfully participate in the electoral process, on a precinct
1:57 pm
by precinct level. but, let me say again, i'm here to call attention to an act of political terrorism. and i'm grateful to those members of the media who are here with us today. everyone across the spectrum in this country, men and women of goodwill, be they republicans, democrats or independents, universally condemn this attack on our system. and i'm here, i'm here to stand solidly with the courageous people of orange county, to say that we are with you, and that we will be undeterred. thank you very much. [applause] >> thank you, everybody. neil: all right, you've been listening to governor mike pence. he was there to address this firebombing that happened a few days ago in orange county, north carolina. they have still not gotten the better of understanding exactly who was behind that, how many individuals were behind that but the facility was firebombed and
1:58 pm
nazi swat tis can signs and swastikas and words spray-painted all over the walls. this is heavily democratic community and near by democratic may and governor of north carolina condemned these attacks. both sides raised money to see what they can do about rebuilding that facility. likely not in time for the election three weeks from today. ashley webster, we have all the crosscurrents going on right now ahead of the third and final debate as well as polls that show donald trump is having trouble gaining traction. not entirely impossible that he still can. statistically though he is up against the, you know, some formidable odds. ashley: he is really is, neil. that is why the last debate are so important for him. he is in a situation where he likes to attack. he likes to go after people but being told by his wife and campaign elders, if you like to be restrained. focus on issues.
1:59 pm
people hear what they want to hear, neil. all comes down to the independents and those who haven't decided. you have strong hillary supporters. you have strong donald trump supporters. so, what can he do in this last three weeks to persuade people to vote for him. i was struck by the comparisons steve hilton made to "brexit." i was covering that. i remember the day before, about a 10:00 at night, the day before the vote, the latest odds were 83% that the uk would stay in the eurozone. we all know how that turned out. neil: it is interesting, too, because that same populist rage they argue will happen here too. it could be apples and ons, right? >> it could be. anti-establishments, elites who think they know what is best for us but actually do nothing for us, that cord is very strong and could still be a factor. neil: we shall see. we shall see. ashley, thank you very much, my friend.
2:00 pm
just reminder before i hand it off to trish regan, we'll explore this from sin city, with one of the biggest players in the casino industry, entire industry here. steve wynn will join us at 4:00 p.m. eastern time today on "your world," to get his sort of lay of the political land and what is at stake. now to you, trish. >> thank you, so much, neil. breaking right now, everyone, we are waiting on donald trump. he is set to speak at a rally in colorado springs any minute from now. we're looking live picture coming in to us from colorado. it is all happening as the trump ahead of tomorrow's third and final presidential debate. this is his last shot to convince people in the middle right now that he is the one they need in the oval office. i am trish regan, welcome, everybody, to "the intelligence report." the latest polls have trump trailing hillary clinton by eight percentage points. so with just three weeks to go until the election, he's got his work cut out for
