what they saw about donald trump was that he lacks specifics other than attacks. and he was easily rattled. that was very, very apparent throughout the debate. and the longer the debate went on the more, apparent that was. >> have you had a chance to talk to her, after the debate, did you got a chance with her? >> i did. we, we chatted, i don't know, probably about, 45 minutes after the debate was over. >> what did she say? she felt good about it. on demeanor absolutely dominated it. in terms of looking presidential while trump kind of got flustered really kind of ran out of gas. i talked about the fact that she offered details and plans. he didn't. he left a lot of questions unanswered especially the questions about his taxes and suggested his strategy of trying to avoid taxes showed how smart he was. >> what do you think was her best moment? >> you know i think her best moment was her answer when donald trump tried to deflect his comments about her appearance to suggest that he

she said you go to 120 countries, and sit before a house committee for 11 hours and talk about stamina. just the split screen i was watching, that was toward the end of the debate. she was going strong. and he was, he was out of gas by that point. that was very obvious. >> think what people saw last night, was donald trump being himself. he was answering the questions. he was driving forward on the issues that matter most to the american people. and he has his own style. hillary clinton brings a style of 30 years in public life. and, you know a well scripted politician. donald trump just speaks right from his mind, right from his heart. that's the reason we have so much momentum in this campaign. i was sitting on the front row there, a privilege for me and my wife. what was exciting for me was to see donald trump as himself, relaxed even in front of 100 million people. they got, got a real good look at the donald trump.

says, really getting hammered by hillary clinton, in the clip, taxes, not releasing his tax returns. he said that makes me smart to the question about not paying taxes. did he confirm last night that he does not pay taxes? >> no, gosh no. >> it appeared that way. yeah, he said afterward, you know he said afterwards he has made federal taxes. i think the reason why donald trump had a great night is because from the very get-go, he was talking about the issues the american people care about. we're in the midst of a strug -- struggling -- awe why would you want voters to think you impression, any way, shape, form? >> this is a business man. you know, hillary clinton, you know, her, her three different guesses about, his taxes, when he is, she knows he has filed 100 pages of, financial disclosure information available on the internet as the law requires.

missiles. six under each wing and eight in the bomb bay. >> this is the rotary launcher. it hold eight air launch cruise missiles within the internal bomb bay of the b-52. a tight fit. the way it works launcher rotates. allows the weapon to release and send it on its way. >> it is like the chamber of a revolver. >> same idea. >> as the most visible arm of the american nuclear arsenal, these bombers are meant to send a message to an international audience. >> we can put this aircraft anywhere we want. any time we want. and, both our allies and our adversaries take note. >> reporter: this is basically a nuclear show-and-tell? >> not just a show-and-tell. because the it will deliver. >> reporter: within the last two years, b-52s have begun sending that message directly to russia. flying missions not seen since

readiness of his nuclear forces if the u.s. and nato tried to block his takeover of crimea. we were not looking for a fight, putin said in this interview. but we were ready for the worst case scenario. >> they see nuclear weapons as a normal extension of a conventional conflict. >> to them, nuclear war is not unthinkable th. >> i think to them. the use of nuclear weapons is not unthinkable. >> it says so in the military doctrine signed by putin 2014. russia sha r to use nuclear weapons in the event of aggression when the very existence of the state is in jeopardy. putin personally directed nuclear exercises which have increased in both size and frequency according to breedlove. more threatening? >> certainly they get your attention. >> reporter: more aggressive? >> clearly. >> reporter: the u.s. responded with more aggressive exercises

each of them go to a facility in russia. that could be a potential target for nuclear weapons. >> reporter: the russians will look at that and see it as a dry run for an attack on targets inside russia? >> i guess they can draw the conclusions that they need to draw. >> reporter: 80 cruise missiles in your face? >> a lot of fire power. >> reporter: was that the message? >> that's a message for sure. >> reporter: the last time american nuclear bombers flew a mission like that was during the cold war. >> this was a significt we are training the way we might have to fight. >> reporter: an unmistakable warning. but the rear admiral says there is no indication the russian military has changed its thinking about nuclear weapons. >> disturbingly, in reece ebt years there have been, specific doctrinal statements made by other russian leaders that indicate an evolved willingness to employ nuclear weapons in the course of conflict. >> reporter: as director of intelligence for the u.s. strategic command, he spent the

nuclear intentions. >> i think that they feel that fundamentally, the west is sociologically weaker and if they were to use a nuclear weapon in the course of a conflict, between say nato and russia, they might be able to shock the western powers into de-escalating into freezing the conflict. calling a cease-fire. >> reporter: so they have a belief that they're just tougher than us? >> definitely true. and if, if they have to use nuclear weapons, we can't, we can't take it. >> i think that some people might think that. >> reporter: he is not talking about the armageddon of an all out nuclear war which neither side could win. but the limited use of a few nuclear weapons which could convince the u.s. to back down. >> reporter: how would they shock us into surrendering? >> they could strike a european target with a nuclear weapon. make an airfield they thought was vital to conflict between nato and russia. >> you can see the full report

throughout the debate. and the longer the debate went on the more, apparent that was. >> have you had a chance to talk to her, after the debate, did you got a chance with her? >> i did. we, we chatted, i don't know, probably about, 45 minutes after the debate was over. >> what did she say? >> she felt good about it the she felt good abiout it. on demeanor absolutely dominated it. in terms of looking presidential while trump kind of flustered really kind of ran out of gas. i talked about the fact that she offered details and plans. he didn't. he left a lot of questions unanswered especially the question s about his taxes and suggested his strategy of trying to avoid taxes showed how smart he was. >> what do you think was her best moment? >> you know i think her best moment was her answer when donald trump tried to deflect his comments about her appearance to suggest that he

she said you go to 120 countries, and sit before a house committee for 11 hours and talk about stamina. just the split screen i was watching, that was toward the end of the debate. she was going strong. and he was, he was out of gas by that point. that was very obvious. >> think what people saw last night, was donald trump being himself. he was answering the questions. he was driving forward on the issues that matter most to the american people. and he has his own style. hillary clinton brings a style and, you know a well scripted politician. donald trump just speaks right from his mind, right from his heart. that's the reason we have so much momentum in this campaign. i was sitting on the front row there, a privilege for me and my wife. what was exciting for me was to see donald trump as himself, relaxed even in front of 100 million people. they got, got a real good look at the donald trump. >> governor one of the things he says, really getting hammered by

taxes, not releasing his tax returns. he said that makes me smart to the question about not paying taxes. did he confirm last night that he does not pay taxes? >> no, gosh no. >> it appeared that way. yeah, he said afterward, you know he said afterwards he has made federal taxes. i think the reason why donald trump had a great night is because from the very get-go, he was talking about the issues the american people care about. we're in the midst eelg c -- struggling -- awe why would you want voters to think you don't pay taxes. why would you want to leave that impression, any way, shape, form? >> this is a business man. you know, hillary clinton, you know, her, her three different guesses about, his taxes, when he is, she knows he has filed 100 pages of, financial disclosure information available on the internet as the law requires. but speculating that maybe he didn't pay as much in taxes.

about, that, that, like, any good businessman he around here, i'm lucky to get through a shift without a disaster. heads up! you know what, don't worry about it. my bargain detergent couldn't keep up. it was mostly water. so, i switched to tide pods. they're super concentrated, so i get a better clean. i mean, i give away water for free. i'm not about to pay for it in my detergent.

the b-52 can carry 20 cruise missiles. six under each wing and eight in the bomb bay. >> this is the rotary launcher. it hold eight air launch cruise missiles within the internal bomb bay of the b-52. a tight fit. the way it works launcher rotates. allows the weapon to release and send it on its way. >> it is like the chamber of a revolver. >> same idea. much bigger bullets. >> a the american nuclear arsenal, these bombers are meant to send a message to an international audience. >> we can put this aircraft anywhere we want. any time we want. and, both our allies and our adversaries take note. >> reporter: this is basically a nuclear show-and-tell? >> not just a show-and-tell. because the it will deliver. >> reporter: within the last two years, b-52s have begun sending that message directly to russia. flying missions not seen since

it started after vladamir putin changed history by invading an independent country ukraine and seizing its republic if crimea. >> the fact that military force would be used to change an internationally recognized border. in the central part of europe. that was new. >> now retired, general breedlove was supreme allied commander in europe when russia took over crimea. the invasion carried out bay so-called little green men. uniforms without insignia. but looming in the background, were nuclear weapons. was there any indication that vladamir putin was prepared to use his nuclear weapons in any way? >> vladamir putin said himself that he would consider raising the alert status of his nuclear force. >> reporter: he had kidded it? >> he said it himself. >> reporter: putin said he had given an order to his military to be prepared to increase the

if the u.s. and nato tried to block his takeover of crimea. we were not looking for a fight, putin said in this interview. but we were ready for the worst case scenario. >> they see nuclear weapons as a there mall e normal ex-tension of conventional conflict. >> to them, nuclear war is not unthinkable th. >> i think to them. the use of nuclear weapons is not unthinkable. >> it says so in the military doctrine signed by putin russia shall reserve the right to use nuclear weapons in the event of aggression when the very existence of the state is in jeopardy. putin personally directed nuclear exercises which have increased in both size and frequency according to breedlove. more threatening? >> certainly they get your attention. >> reporter: more aggressive? >> clearly. >> reporter: the u.s. responded with more aggressive exercises of its own.

b-52s, flew up over the north pole and north sea in an exercise, polar ground. the b-52s, were unarmed. that little fin on the side of the fuselage identified them as capable of carrying nuclear weapons. >> what i plotted here are the two routes for the planes. >> reporter: hans christianson, director of nuclear information project at federation of american scientists used google earth to show us the message that sent russia. >> eac cruise missiles, maximum of them. we are talking potentially 80 cruise missiles that could have been launched against targets inside russia at this time. >> reporter: using the cruise missiles range of 1,500 miles, christianson plotted his own hypothetical lines showing how far they could potentially reach into russia. >> reporter: and the end points of those red lines. >> yes. each of them go to a facility in

>> reporter: the russians will look at that and see it as a dry run for an attack on targets inside russia? >> i guess they can draw the conclusions that they need to draw. >> reporter: 80 cruise missiles in your face? >> a lot of fire power. >> reporter: was that the message? >> that's a message for sure. >> reporter: the last time american nuclear bombers flew a mission like that was during the cold war. >> this was a exercise for us. we are training the way we might have to fight. >> reporter: an unmistakable warning. but the rear admiral says there is no indication the russian military has changed its thinking about nuclear weapons. >> disturbingy in recent years there have been, specific doctrinal statements made by other russian leaders that indicate an evolved willingness to employ nuclear weapons in the course of conflict. >> reporter: as director of intelligence for the u.s.

nuclear intentions. >> i think that they feel that fundamentally, the west is associate logically weaker and if they were to use a nuclear weapon in the course of a conflict, between say nato and russia, they might be able to shock the western powers into de-escalating into freezing the conflict. calling a cease-fire. >> reporter: so they have a belief that they're just tougher than us? >> definitely true. and if, if they have to use nuclear weapons, we can't, we can't >> i think that some people might think that. >> reporter: he is not talking about the armageddon of an all out nuclear war which neither side could win. but the limited use of a few nuclear weapons which could convince the u.s. to back down. >> reporter: how would they shock us into surrendering? >> they could strike a european target with a nuclear wep mon. make an airfield they thought was vital to conflict between nato and russia.
