senator, former first lady and certainly the city secretary ur sitting secretary of state should know. the polls you showed earlier have the details here. hillary has a hard time being accepted as a truthful, honest candidate dto the american people. >> clinton people have been playing close to the week and weekend. the unevaded grip of the bad news. they are hammering her on lack of accessibility. >> she has had hundreds of interviews in the last year. >> so we can expect a press conference yes, no? >> there has been one in the last month and you will see hillary very, very accessible to the press on november 8th. >> no one is sure where he got the idea that there had been a press conference in the last

month. it has been 275.5 days since her last press conference. he didn't promise one from clinton any time soon. she may be a little bit more accessible to the press. the press will see her more as the press is going to be on her slightly larger campaign trail. >> we will have a fair and balanced debate about the relationship with the press. >> she will take some questions. when i say some i mean one or two. >> we had a recent pullout saying donald trump gained ground on hillary clinton, leland. >> not only is he gaining ground we are seeing a tightening of some of the key battles. specifically the one in ohio where hillary clinton and donald trump are now tied. the question going forward is this a trend and moment mum donald trump can keep up and can twrans late into states like pennsylvania, florida he's doing better in as well.

she will have to pick up one or two more of the critical swing states to become competitive in the electoral college. >> leland leland vittert, thank. trump tweeting this, the republican party needs strong and committed leaders not weak leaders such as jeff blake when -- senator flake. this is hours after he said he wasn't voting for trump. >> all of us had hope for that that he might be changing the tone and tenor of his campaign, then when the speech was delivered later in the day he seemed to be back where he has been. it is increasingly difficult to think that he is going to change. i don't suspect i will be able to support him in november. >> trump also suggesting he is in darrening of losing to

hillary clinton. he was the doenl krat to win that state since 1952. >> thanks abby. overnight north korea at it again. firing two ballistic missiles into the say. the world's most powerful leaders meet only 650 miles away at the g20 summit in china. he condemns north korea saying it is a violation and poses a threat to the entire region. >> potentially ground breaking president obama and vladimir putin could change forces to take out isis in syria. the two meeting face to face in china today. it comes after tensions on the tarmac after air force one touches down. there was no staircase for president obama to exit the front of the plane he had to go out in the under belly. they got into a heated debate over whether or not the u.s. press could stay for the

president's arrival. they are now down-playing the controversy. >> we don't leave our values behind when we take the trips. it can cause friction. >> adding to the outrage president obama was the only national leader not to have the red carpet during his arrival. >> never a dull moment. tim teeb bow could be a major league baseball player after all. atlanta braves is showing interest in the former football star after a work nut in los angeles. they may be thinking about him for a minor league deal. he wasn't played baseball since a junior in high school. >> incredible action on the football field. fighting irish in a wild double over time victory. check it out. >> for the win! >> a lot of people going crazy. look at that crowd.

>> she is had hundredses of interviews. we are about to switch to the phase of the campaign where we will be on plains all of the time since hillary is out on the trail she is talking to the press. it has been 275 days since hillary clinton's last press conference. today is the first day the press will be able to ride on her plane. the question is will it make any difference? >> today is the big day. is she going to be able to avoid the press? >> she will be able to avoid them if she walks into the front of the plane. last night they beat notre dame. people will be able to tell you about that more than when her last press conference was. the press conference is not why

people are going to vote or not vote but it doesn't help with the overall narrative of the trust factor. >> let's talk about this when asked about trust worthiness. 31 percent said yes 66 percent said no to hillary clinton. how much of this is because she has not held a press conference in 275 days. >> npr did a study in her lack of access. hillary clinton does what hillary clinton wants to do when she wants to do it. that's the operation miranda. that's how she operates. this is no surprise. when you add up the 275 with the 54 days left she will provide access with 20 percent of that. that does not help her trust and message to the american people when she is not out there connecting with them. >> at the national point she is

saying maybe i don't need to. i am in the lead at this moment. is she thinking it's not going to make a difference anyway? >> it is like you are at the head of the basketball game you go back and forth you don't want to do anything to make up for the win? that's the one way to look at it. when we poll every day. i run campaigns you ask what is the most important issue to them? they talk about the job not the press tfr reince. you put that behind and you focus it is labor day people. it is the fourth quarter. >> wheen while donald trump is reaching out to voters. this is what he had to say. >> nothing is more sad than to find young black men with unfulfilled potential. tremendous potential. i want to let you know i am here to listen to you.

>> with african americans he's at 4 percent. >> it is not a big number but he has a fair point. unemployment has doubled the unemployment rate for latinos has dropped 2 million has slipped under poverty. thu trump has a fair question. are you really better off today and how are we going to pay for the free stuff hillary clinton wants to offer you? there are fair questions. there is still time left. there is a marathon and a sprint until the end. >> this weekend the co founder for latinos for trump elect hillary clinton on every corner. the american people may not know what the immigration process is

but we love our taco trucks. >> i do love the taco trucks. >> i loalso love a taco truck. anthem outrage boiling overweight until you hear who is telling colin kaepernick to get off his high horse and apologize. another star athlete ads fuel to the fire joining his protest. a perfect day on the slopes turning to a nightmare. a little boy is left dangling from the lift share. that's up next.

he needs to apologize. since he began his sports jersey has become one of the top selling jerseys on envelope.c - nfl.com. they are boycotting the home games of the san francisco 49ers if the organization doesn't take action to stop kaepernick's protests. >> it is a big question you raised what difference is it actually making? thank you for being with us. >> a little boy proving he coyo could never be too busy to honor your country or god. >> a mom capturing the precious moment he took time to say the pledge of allegiance and do something else as well as a police officer looked on. >> i said a prayer. thank you god. thank you for giving me a wonderful day.
