>> they held a moment of silence in israel this morning in honor of shimon peres. prime minister benjamin netanyahu called him a man of vision. peres' family said he died peacefully in the hospital, two weeks after suffering a stroke. even for his own people, shimon peres was a puzzle. he spoke eloquent hebrew with a foreign accent. lacked formal education but brimmed with culture, mediocre politician who became a statesman of spectacular vision. his service in the knesset, israel's parliament, was a record 48 years. he served as minister in 12 cabinets and prime minister twice. his political career encompassed all of israel's war. but peres believes his country's security lay as much in making peace as it did in being prepared for conflict. peres cooperated with his fierce

7:13 am
universe fallout on the day after the debate? >> i think it was a brilliantly set trap by the clinton campaign. hillary clinton got it in at the very end of the debate, waiting all night to find a moment to lay that argument out. trump was plainly unprepared for it. acting like where did you find it? i found it on television, in your book, new york times, all over the place. and managed to do the dumbest thing he did which was to go on television the following morning and attack the woman again. and made everyone in our business able to keep talking about it. wasn't just -- >> she's talking too. >> it wasn't just a debate hit anymore. it was he still -- >> desperately needs suburban women. >> think about all of the good work, i mean, just strictly speaking political good work he for weeks his ability to stay relatively disciplined, to talk about minority outreach, to do all the things aimed at suburban republican leaning white women
7:14 am
i don't know, you guys may have -- may have exception, i never met a woman, rich, poor, black, white, republican, democrat, who thinks it is okay for a rich powerful man to call a woman fat. >> you know why you never met her? because there isn't one. that's why you never met her. >> that's not a great political strategy. i'll say this, i think one thing about trump is we talk about how much he attacks people. we accept attacks, even really violent vicious attacks in politics. if you're donald trump, you can attack hillary clinton, chris christie, marco rubio, what we have never seen before really is a presidential nominee with some regularity attacking private citizens, whether it is the judge or the khan family or miss machado. it is just an unprecedented, unusual thing and it is a very politically dangerous. >> the clinton campaign was ready. they have come out with an out already. >> it was a set trap.
7:15 am
trump might rise to the -- >> i don't understand why they didn't anticipate it. >> why they -- >> the trump campaign. it is all over the press. >> you could fill a book with the number of totally predictable tacks that hillary clinton leveled against donald trump at the debate, that trump seemed unprepared to handle in a crisp, clean way and then pivot away from those things. that's what you do in debates. anticipate the attack, answer it quickly and move on to a topic of your choosing. he did not do that over and over again is all theater criticism. who won the debate, who lost the debate. i think there is no question she executed 85% of her plan and he executed about 15% or 20% of had his plan. >> next time he'll go harder? >> he may. we'll see. harder to do in the context of a town hall debate format, harder to be like that when you have ordinary citizens and voters asking questions. >> thank you. >> we'll have tuesday's vice presidential debate at 6:00 p.m. pacific time right here on cbs,

7:54 am
for people with afib currently well managed on warfarin, there is limited information on how xarelto and warfarin compare in reducing the risk of stroke. like all blood thinners, don't stop taking xarelto without talking to your doctor, as this may increase your risk of a blood clot or stroke. while taking you may bruise more easily, and it may take longer for bleeding to stop. xarelto may increase your risk of bleeding if you take certain medicines. xarelto can cause serious, and in rare cases fatal bleeding. get help right away for unexpected bleeding, had spinal anesthesia while on xarelto watch for back pain or any nerve or muscle related signs or symptoms. do not take xarelto if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. tell your doctor before all planned medical or dental procedures. before starting xarelto tell your doctor about any conditions, such as kidney, liver or bleeding problems. to help protect yourself from a stroke, ask your doctor about xarelto. there's more to know. xarelto.
