terminology on the american public. here is tracy potts. >> donald trump in arizona last night. >> mexico will pay for the wall. 100%. >> hours earlier in mexico with the country's president. >> we didn't discuss who is going to pay for the wall. >> the clinton campaign is out the great negotiator choked and then lied about it. they did discuss who pays for the wall, that mexico won't do it and that is not negotiable. clinton claims trump failed his first foreign policy test. >> it takes more than trying to make up for a year of insults by dropping in on our neighbors for a few hours and then flying home

it's a repackaging of the same thing he was saying in the primary. ultimately a lot of theory signaling nothing. mrs. clinton has been focused on the economy. she gets it. people are concerned about their children's welfare, their children's future, creating jobs. she's committed to creating good paying jobs in this country which is the big issue in this campaign. she wants to focus on band technology, she wants to focus on alternative clean energy. she wants to focus on investing in the things that will give people good jobs, provide jobs for their kids. she wants to focus on a fair tax policy. she's talking about a middle class tax break. when you look at trump's program you see a lot of benefits end up in the hands of the wealthiest, the same old trickle down

affordability, a big problem in this country and says we can have debt free college education for students attending school. we can have companies share in the profits their employees create and if they leave this country we can charge them an exit tax to edition courage that kind of behavior. what she is saying is i understand your frustrations and concerns and i'm the candidate that wants to focus on an economy that works for everybody. th results and why she's doing so well. >> dana: the polls are tightening, that is a fact. we know that polls nationwide are tightening but we have two months to go before election day. thank you for joining us live from washington, d.c., we appreciate it. coming up a dog hoping to find a forever home after getting into a sticky spot. she didn't appear to be in pain but she wanted out.

president of the united states. and it takes you three or four of these conversations to realize he's not mad at you but he doesn't have much patience for small talk. >> dana: if you've met harry reid before, you have no trouble believing that story. he doesn't really engage in small talk at all. he was at lake tahoe for they are trying to save the clarity of the lake. president obama saying you don't have to be a scientist, you just have to read or listen to scientists to know that overwhelming body of science shows us that climate change is caused by human activity. president talking about climate change at lake tahoe. >> kim: maybe he doesn't engage in small talk.
