it's never ending pasta pass program. it's up from 2,000 in the previous years. the cost 100 bucks, they go on sale tomorrow 2:00 p.m. eastern time. here is shep smith. >> donald trump is doing a little meet and greet in michigan. his time has been trying to make him appear more presidential and caring and already signs of success for the republican nominee. polls show donald trump leading in nevada and ohio, still, the clinton campaign is not convinced. also colin powell seems pretty steamed at least in his e-mails, thanks for hackers, he blasted democratic candidates.
12:01 pm
the attorney general looking into the charity of donald trump. but the ag claims they are playing politics. there's a lot of news to get to. live from the fox news desk. >> we show brand new polls that show donald trump ahead of hillary clinton. the newest shows trump up by five points though the clinton team is taking issue with it showing that more people identifying republican leaning than democraticing. nevada ahead by two, which is statistically tied according to mon moumouth university. this comes as a wall street journal report trumps' team has spent a month or so trying to make him look more presidential and focussing on what they call
12:02 pm
moments. moments they show him as a leader. so could it be working? more on that ahead. first trump tarking a tour of flint, michigan. these are protesters, because so go trumps goes the protesters. let's listen here. >> water not walls, water not walls, water not walls. >> water not walls. one of the signs says go back to your tower, so a group of protesters in flint, michigan. analysts say it is all part of the media makeover. the first visit since finding the dangerously high levels of led there. the mayor says he doesn't
12:03 pm
need -- we'll take you there live. these are live pictures, so we'll have that. donald trump also recorded an interview with tv's dr. oz. on monday the nominee aides said he would release a physical. then yesterday, the details they revealed would be ultimately up to donald trump. >> it's really his decision. it's his personal records. i want to ask him pointed questions about his health. >> what if there are some embarrassing things on there? >> well, i bet you he won't release them. >> it will be his decision. >> it will air tomorrow. the supervisor claimed nobody ever said donald trump was going to talk about his physical and trump's campaign scoffed at the idea that he would discuss the results with dr. oz. >> on a tv show? i don't think he should --
12:04 pm
>> that was the original plan, wasn't it? >> no, he was going to talk about the fact that he had a physical and what the results are, i wasn't present at his physical. >> on tv? really trump? h come on. that held up for about five minutes before a release came out showing that he did release one." as all physicians do seeing a patient for the first time, dr. oz did a full review". it reports he gave dr. oz a one-page summary of his physical, not the details and that the two talked about his jl well being and medical history. seems he wants to lose a little weight. in canton, ohio trump is to have a rally. anything we have heard?
12:05 pm
>> reporter: there was some big discussion about whether he was going to reveal anything and his recent physical with the doctor who performed the delivery of a letter several months ago. he's a gastroenterrollgist in new york city. he wrote that if trump would become president he would be the healthiest in presidential history. trump revealed this on monday amid all of the controversy over hillary clinton's pneumonia and collapse or near collapse as she was leaving early near the 9/11 memorial. the campaign really argued pretty aggressively there wasn't going to be a reliease on the o show. and he pulled out a couple of papers and looked a little
12:06 pm
surprised an pleegsased trump w sharing it. we do know he is on anti-cholesterol meds and wants to lose 15 or 20 pounds and we are told that the country should be confident that he is health enough to be president. the results should be released this week. we have to look forward to it otherwise we're going to look to that is not going to satisfy than what hillary clinton has given up. and that is not fair. she's already given up more than donald trump has. >> we're watching at the water treatment plant. let's listen. i think they're a little far away from the camera.
12:07 pm
>> the locals have called this, karl -- it's a photo op. there's some protesting, which i guess shouldn't be so surprising. but what's on the agenda there. what's the campaign saying? >> reporter: he's trying to go places before hillary clinton does. this is what he did with mexico, with the flooding in louisiana and now to michigan. he's trying to make a point that a trump presidency will be more responsive to what the american people face than what we are accustom to and he's trying to demonstrate that as a can't date. we weren't told he would walk the water facility trying to get the led out of the water there in part because they're very busy at doing just that and the mayor said it's not going to be a photo op and we were told this sort of thing would not be
12:08 pm
happening and would be very belief in and out. he's trying to show he cares, trying very hard in michigan. he's losing in the polls here but by small margins, four or five points. he has four must wins, ohio florida and north carolina. if he loses north carolina, michigan would be the replacement state. now the second time in michigan, tonight he comes back to ohio obviously the kwint essentiessk. no republican has gotten in without winning here first. i should mention he's in flint right now touring the water plant. if he speaks, we'll give you that live. first john bussey is here from the wall street journal and the rebranding of trump and i guess in some ways it's working.
12:09 pm
>> he's doing better in the polls. there's no question. look, the visit to flint is political theater and paul was pointing this out. this is what politicians do, not just trump and this is what his team is trying to get him to do more of which is as our washington bureau reports in today's paper to seek out these in which you can look presidential. not just be tweeting, not just be having the fiery rallies but to have what they call moments where you're in louisiana meeting flood victims or in flint touring the plant, in mexico to meet with the president. to look presidential. political theater admittedly, but that's what this new team has emphasized with him and that's what he seems to be adhering to, much more disciplined.
12:10 pm
>> i'm not sure if we learned anything on the dr. oz tape today. that's not how most candidates have done something like this. normally they put out details from doctors, john mccain famously 1,000 pages and lots of interviews with medical reporters. this is not that. >> no, it's not. au authority taytivelyauthority transparent. it feeds into the notion of lack of transparency on releasing taxes as well. the health of both candidates is usually important to the viewer. one thing to know though, the stamina that kind of has been revealed by bernie sanders by hillary clinton by donald trump
12:11 pm
this triathelon, they seem to be keeping up but you don't have the data, and we did not get that today from donald trump. >> and this will air tomorrow and people will make of it what they want to, but donald trump needs women. so he goes on a show by its own demographics is skewed towards women. he's trying to reach women. >> it's going to be a feel-good program. dr. oz has already said i'm not going to ask questions they don't want me to ask. it's kind of a television appearance for him and as you point out it can't help but help. >> i hope we see his hilarious back to the future doctor though with the hair and all that. >> will and the extravagant endorsement of his health and had no details and therefore wasn't helpful. >> laughable. hillary clinton ready to get back out there, but for now her
12:12 pm
campaign is rolling out sort of a heavy hitter fill-in. that's the former president heading to vegas to support for his wife's race. and have you heard what colin powell said today one of them is a national disgrace and the other one everything she touches gets all messed up. colin powell e-mail leeks. wow. remember here at ally, nothing stops us from doing right by our customers. who's with me? i'm in. i'm in. i'm in. i'm in. ♪ ♪ one, two, - wait, wait. wait - where's tina? doing the hand thing? yep! we are all in for our customers. ally. do it right.

12:15 pm
the former president bill clinton filling in for his wife as the nominee continues to recover from pneumonia, that's what the campaign continues to tell us. he says the u.s. would be better off without the president if trump win it is white house. >> the economy would produce 3.4 million jobs less than it would otherwise. in other words, economically we would be better off with no president at all. >> hillary clinton will head back to the campaign trail tomorrow. she is back home. we just learned that bill clinton and chelsea will step down from the health access initiative if she's elected, right? >> reporter: that's right,
12:16 pm
shepherd. in fact we just received a statement saying both bill clinton and his daughter chelsea would step down from the clinton health access initiative if hillary clinton is elected president. they would remove the clinton name from the initiative. they would separate from the foundation all in an attempt at transparency and independence. now, bill clinton, as you mentioned had to fly hastily, he just spoke moments degree. >> here is donald trump speaking. let's listen. >> you'll get it under control. i think we have a location -- and we can do that at the next
12:17 pm
stop. i think that will be fine. i just want to thank the folks from flint and very, very good executives and i really do appreciate it. >> thank you. we appreciate it for coming. >> thank you. >> thank you, everybody. >> so some thank yous at the meet and greet. jennifer pardon the interruption back to you. >> reporter: the president was talking about the water crisis, donald trump is noticing he is cutting into her polls -- excuse me she was five points ahead of him. ten points ahead just a month
12:18 pm
ago. now bill clinton was just speaking in nevada another key battleground state. >> i just talked to her. she's feeling great and i think she'll be back out there tomorrow. so, it's a crazy time we live in when people think there's something unusual about getting the flu. last time i checked millions of people were getting it every year. >> reporter: bill clinton made quite a scene out in las angeles when he went to a cafe, there were photographers taking pictures of sophia varra and they turned to bill clinton. >> what is this twitter rant that he is putting under the candidate's handle? >> reporter: under her twitter handle her campaign put out 20 separate tweets attacking donald trump and his business
12:19 pm
practices. a few examples, to what extent are you and your family contractually tied to payments from foreign busies, have you bribed foreign officials or other parties abroad. how can we know you won't again -- to preserve your own ego. it is very clear the clinton campaign is trying to get under donald trump's skin hoping he will engage trying to take some of the pressure and heat paid to her health right now. they were not signed by hillary clinton, usually that's a -- h behind it. it is very clear the campaign wants to change the narrative away from her health and colin powell e-mails and a lot of damaging things. >> you mentioned the colin powell e-mails. we'll have those for you.
12:20 pm
ahead more on the new poll that shows donald trump taking the lead at the state of ohio. and there's a problem with how the pollsters skrun ch the numbers. and how to register voters in three battleground states. we'll break that all down for you next. yes. you know, that reminds me of geico's 97% customer satisfaction rating. 97%? helped by geico's fast and friendly claims service. huh... oh yeah, baby. geico's as fast and friendly as it gets. woo! geico. expect great savings and a whole lot more.
12:23 pm
12:24 pm
and say it is unrealistic to have mexico pay for it. in the rust belt and the economic message seems to be paying off. donald trump is leading hillary clinton by 43 points among voters with no college degrees. and after the aleppo slipup last week remember this. >> what would you do if you were elected about aleppo? >> about aleppo? and what the aleppo. >> you're kidding? >> no. >> aleppo is in syria. >> he said he blanked. look at the four-way matchup. the poll shows bloomberg at 2--
12:25 pm
shows johnson at 29%. the first time a third party candidate has done that in about 20 years. in the meantime a new associated press study shows republicans have gained in arizona, florida and north carolina. the gop has also held on to its edge in iowa and arizona and florida have brought in hundreds of voters. >> these numbers are significant in your estimation? >> reporter: yeah, i think they are significant. the ohio number in particular stands out. and trump being up five, that's good news for the trump campaign. to put that in a little broader
12:26 pm
context, we take a bunch of polls and and average them show trump up by three points still in ohio, but he has closed a four-point gap over a tie in just a couple of weeks in ohio. >> what about the other states the ones that matter a lot -- of course ohio matters, florida and north carolina? >> reporter: trump has been doing better in florida and new york -- north carolina. you can see this like in the l.a. times that currently the trend is in his favor. you're going to see those in florida, north carolina and the follows what happens nationally. >> i've read this is part of the eb and flow, there's a good news cycle for one and good cycle for
12:27 pm
the other and we're kind of in a trump moment. is that how your analysts see this? >> reporter: yeah, right now, hillary clinton is surrounded by the untrustworthiness that's driving her numbers down and driving trump's numbers up. so it's a pretty bad news cycle for her right now, but who knows something could happen tomorrow and could turn into a bad cycle for trump or neutral for both of them. >> so that when this or if this hillary clinton health thing goes away, will matter? >> reporter: i think the big thing was you saying if it goes away, i think it is going to be one of those random shocks in the polling and go back to equal
12:28 pm
libri equallibri equallibrium. if this does stick, if this does become a pro tracttracted issuer f favorable and unfavorable, it could become a real problem. >> thank you. three arizona police officers injured after a man targets him with his car. investigators say it was an intentional attack they believe. we have the video of these cops getting run over and an update on the officers' injuries. plus colin powell's e-mails making big news. one is an international disgrace. one of them chief political advisor nutty right-winger.

12:35 pm
the u. -- d.c. leaks. in one of these messages colin powell wrote that he tried to convince hillary clinton and her staff to leave him out of the controversy over e-mails quoting "i have told hillary min ioionso leave me out of this -- as e-mails make it clear he's not a fan of hillary clinton or donald trump. when he says ambassador stevens who died in the raid was courageous yet mostly to blame and others back home are to blame, says rice agrees.
12:36 pm
and says the right-winger is nutty. what else have you got, trace. >> reporter: i told her staff three times not to try to gamut. i had to throw a mini tantrum. he made it clear he never set up a private server as secretary of state and he always used a government computer. they are going to blank up the legitimate and necessary use of e-mails with record rules. everything hr touches she kind of screws up. over the summer, a journalist wrote he is in the process of destroying himself. no need for dems to attack him. he said you guys are playing his
12:37 pm
game. you are his oxygen. later to go on and call him an idiot just em boldbolden him. and also called the birther issue racist. >> and also about his health? >> reporter: yes, colin powell writes on hd tv she doesn't look good. she's working herself to death. she will turn 70 years her first year in office. and lead says white house told him that they gave speeches at the same event a few months back and she could barely climb the podium steps. and powell calls hillary a friend he respects but would rather not vote for her quoting again a 70 year old long track record unbridled.
12:38 pm
greedy and husband still blanking bimbos at home. neither clinton or trump campaigns have responded. >> blanking bimbos. thank you. sniderman, announced he is opening an investigation into the donald j trump. he says it is nothing more than another left wings hit job designed to distract from crooked hillary clinton clint's disastrous week. and we noted during this hour yesterday the washington post looked into donald trump's foundation. it found nearly all of its money came from people not named donald trump. like donald trump doesn't give it money. the billionaire used charity money to buy himself a gift.
12:39 pm
that includes sending $20,000 and spending that money from the foundation, not his own on a 6-feet tall painting of himself. they have call it not at all accurate. what's good for the goose is good for the gander. >> what attorney sniderman is investigating, is the donald trump foundation giving $20,000 to a republican attorney donald trump supporter pam bonndy. they have jurisdiction over this event in florida because the donald trump foundation is a new york corporation. attorney general bonnbonndy adm she asked him for it.
12:40 pm
the people she terminated, she deni denies linked to this. you have an attorney general who publicly endorsed him asking him for money at the same time prosecutors and the office are investigating him. that's what he wants to investigate. was there a quid pro quo, was it terminated because he made if donation or because there wasn't any evidence to take it further? >> other states were asked to and declined to join that lawsuit as well. >> yes. and the trump people say it was a clerical error that the $20,000 came from a foundation. the irs fined the trump foundation $2,500 bun it is against federal law for a charitable foundation to make a contribution to a political campaign either directly or to a
12:41 pm
super pac and they miss identified bonnbonndy super pac claimed it was a charity. they say it was also a clerical error. >> there are lots of clerical errors. >> yes and he has a very unhappy relationship between attorney sniderman. >> and the trump campaign is none too pleased. >> correct. and it's the political season. you should expect these things to happen. >> there's lots of investigating going on here. usually when you hear people crow about it something happens. >> i duty anything will happen, because it starts with gathering documents and when the government shows up and asks for documents unless they think you're going to destroy them right away. you have 30 days to gather them.
12:42 pm
if you want another 30 days you can ask for it. i don't know where it's going to go, but doubt before november eighth. >> thank you. >> 25,000 more refugees than last, on going conflicts in countries including iraq, syria and afghanistan have left millions and millions of people with no place to go. president obama has said that all nations should do whatever they could to help. republican lawmakers are trying to block refugees from coming into the united states because of security concerns. they say it is safe and does not pose a threat to national security. >> shi roroan perez is showing

12:49 pm
calls that theft. unless the feds investigation changes things. >> which i suppose they could. >> if you and i put a mask on and robbed a bank, we would be in jail. they did just that. they took money from existing accounts from customers and into the fake accounts and charged them over draft fees without anyone knowing. the feds are now interested both in california and new york. they're coming in and they're going to look at these questionable aggressive sales tactics, around if they find it reaches a criminal level then you can have a criminal complaint. the trouble with wells fargo, they have this 12,000,085 fine. they fired 5,000 employees.

12:55 pm
you. >> here we are coming off a bridge. the car knows the light just turned green. as you can see it's turning itself, turn signal and everything. i had nothing to do with that. obviously there's a lot of skepticism, but can't deny the technology is amazing. >> you can't argument the brilliance of this technology. a spins light-r unit provides a 360 scan of everything around the car. there is lasers, to cameras, critics say this technology is being rolled out too fast for the public, and a crash in may reminded us. in tesla, a man was killed in florida, when aself drier car barrel into a tractor. they're trying to release the technology before it is he per effected.
12:56 pm
justs theory if you remove the driver, you remove driver error. there are several defects in that theory. first of all, if the automation doesn't work, then what? if it fails, will it fail safe? >> if you are nervous, don't worry. at this point two people in the seat, one a backup driver, the other an engineer. so you'll be safe. why pittsburgh? uber chose this destination because of car gill mellon university, they're tapping a lot of resources there, and the laws are lacks to allow this kind of necessary research they want to do to allow these carts on the road at this point. >> i think a lot of people would take it over a texting teenager anyday. what was the feeling? was it scary? creepy? >> reporter: i think it was
12:57 pm
surread is what it is. i mean, it was really cool. when you see that wheel turn and that turn signal go on, and it's just all happening because of cameras and stuff, you're like, wow, we almost went 100 years. i never saw this coming so fast. i don't think a lot of people did. >> i don't understand -- there's a specific way that one drives in new york city, as you know, rob. the straddle on to the edge of the bumper, completely shave to the other lane and back, otherwise you don't go anywhere ever. it's like friends come into town and it's like why does everybody drive like this? how do you make an uber drive like a manhattan-ite. >> they won't even allow the cars to change lanes. manhattan they're not going into just yet. i think they foresee a lot of problems there. that will be a tough one. >> thank you, rob. here we go, as promised,
12:58 pm
