speech, they are in trouble. trump i thought handled today reasonably well. he gave the classic republican agenda on economics, cut taxes. what is really notable is how anti trade he is, he remains. he is to the left of her on trade. that leaves us with an election where there's nobody to defend trade. this is new in modern american u.s. history. >> polls show hillary clinton double digits a i head of trump in the general election match up. 50 percent to trump's 37 percent. in the meantime a new twist in the race as a new candidate adds his name to the ballot. edwin mcmullen is running as an independent. he said he had to get into the race because both of the candidates according to him are

unfit. >> for months i as many americans have hoped someone with national name id would step up and do what i am doing. i believe this is the last moment when somebody can offer an alternative to these two unfit candidates. donald trump keeps saying terrible things that alienates large swaths of the population. he's holy unfit. i think he's dangerous to the country. >> mcmullin has an uphill battle as most have passed in most states to put the name on the ballot. the u.s. swimming team adding to the gold column. ryan murphy setting an olympic record swimming to victory in the 100 meter back stroke. >> lilly king snatched up another gold in the 100 meter breast stroke.

the cost of child care has gotten so so expensive many parents don't want to work. trump says the cost of child care will be fully deductible. the average cost of a daycare center in 2015 was $196 a week. that comes out to 10,192 dollars a year. so that -- i am assuming you would have to itemize this on your tax return. don't know. he didn't tell us. that would be a savings of more than $10,000. that's for the average american family paying for kdaycare. that would encourage more moms to go back to work. >> it could have an impact as well. >> 20 percent of american families they said they spend about 25 or even more than that of their income on child care. clearly this impacts so many families. we are hearing from hillary clinton and donald trump on this

issue. >> hillary clinton, her plan basically is she wants to cap the cost of child care at 10 percent. i think that's the wrong way to go. she talks about federal subsidies. to simplify it, yes, keep paying taxes to the government and they will subsidize your child care. that never works. take out the middleman is what donald trump is saying you pay for it you get the tax deduction next year. hillary's plan also i worry about what it would do to the economy and job growth. a lot of times you have the government come in and say they are going to deal with the industry it leads to job losses and lowered economic growth. that's what concerns me about hillary's side of this. neither candidate being that specific of course they are running for the president of the united states. they are not being specific. >> we did hear 34 percent of families worry about job security. >> they do. also, too, many people talk about this in the book. many women when they go back to

work they worry they are going to be penalized at work or they are not going to be promoted because they are dealing with the issue of child care, whether or not they have good child care. if you know you can pay for it if you know it is budgeted you know you are going to get a tax reduction next year it would encourage a lot of women to go back to work. that would grow the economy to trump's point. >> always good to see you. thank you for breaking this down. >> evan kau trump in the white house? speaking of women in the workplace. the 34-year-old revealing if her b dad becomes president she will also get a new bigig. the mother said quote there are things i am passionate about like child care. she is promoting her book, women who work initiative, actually. she doesn't have an official title in her dad's campaign. >> from the baseball field to the white house former major
