dollar u.s. payment to iran that donald trump claims amounts to a ransom for u.s. hostages. if you were vice president, would you allow a plane full of money to land in iran on the same day that four u.s. hostages are freed? >> norah, here is the thing. congress was briefed on this months ago. i'm on these committees and we are aware of it. iran had a sizeable legal claim against the united states that has been pending in international a very long time. there was a settlement of that claim. a settlement where the u.s. agreed to pay a fraction of the claim. and, yes, the u.s. then paid that claim. i don't -- >> i understand that but let's talk about the perception of on the very same day, a plane with 400 million dollars in foreign currency landing and being delivered. >> perception is one thing and reality matters more. we got hostages home. and we took a legal claim that was a legit claim and bargained
7:10 am
>> if you were vice president you would let it happen? >> i would negotiate any legal claim that we had and i try to get the best deal wek and i'd also try to get american hostages home. >> reporer: on thursday, donald trump has doubled down and said he saw money pouring off of a plane in iran and that the iranian government released that footage to embarrass the united states. >> i have no idea what he is talking about. >> reporter: that video doesn't exist? >> it doesn't exist. he might be thinking about iran contra from like 35 years ago or so he recently criticized me saying i was a bad governor of new jersey. >> reporter: he confused you with tom kaine? >> yes, he was governor of new jersey 26 years ago. it hurt my feelings until i realized, wait a minute i was never governor of new jersey and didn't even live in new jersey. he was confusing the situation from two or three decades ago and maybe that is why he confusing this videotape. >> reporter: do you think donald trump is confused in.
7:11 am
confused. >> john heilemann is a producer of "the circus" a division of cbs. good morning. >> good morning. >> happy friday. >> lots of titles. >> tim kaine is saying trump is confused. >> i think a mild version of what he thinks, but yeah. >> what do you think that signals as a line coming from the clinton campaign? >> the clinton campaign has kind of a double frame on donald trump. the first he is kind of temperamentally unsuited to be president and the other is he is a jerk. that is one line which is this guy really shouldn't be sitting in the oval office. >> paul manafort was sitting where you were yesterday at the same time and said the campaign is not in chaos and the dropping numbers is something to be expected and we have a hundred days and in good shape. the republicans that were defecting he said were people weren't going to endorse him any way. >> right. >> they seem to be oblivious to the fact that everybody outside the bubble thinks their campaign is in turmoil?
7:12 am
oblivious. in my 25 years of covering this that is what campaigns say. the top man can't say our campaign is in chaos. >> they could say there is a troubling thing. >> you never hear that from campaigns. not what they are paid to do. it is the case right now that there is polling now that has donald trump, not just according to a poll yesterday that had a 15-point gap but has donald trump down 33. previously, t donald trump at 33 is a catastrop catastrophe. >> the battles are over before they are fought. >> the battles aren't over. we still have shy of a hundred days and still opportunity to change. there is a huge opportunity for trump when the debate come around. his problem right now is that this bounce that she's gotten
7:13 am
worst week for him of the campaign, comes now at the beginning of august, where we are about to head into three weeks of olympic coverage. not a lot of opportunity to move these numbers and reset the race until you get to mid september. so the debates are always going to be huge. but this is going to be, i think, these numbers are going to kind of lock in now for a little while and that not only is a problem for trump in the long run, but it contributes to this extraordinary panic in the party. >> they are notin privately? >> i think everybody in the trump campaign are incredibly concerned. >> the candidate himself seems to be perhaps signaling this by saying a few times now the election is rigged. president obama, yesterday, spoke about it. that is quite a flag to plant. doubt he believes that or is this the makings of an excuse? >> i have traveled in some stng to explore places but what exactly goes inside donald trump's head, i don't really know.
7:14 am
something that happens where it's unprecedented, right is in the notion that a nominee of a major political party would try to be spinning his defeat in advance, and suggesting that basically the american democracy is broken and crooked in some way, never seen that before and i think it's quite troubling. >> he has said that a lot, "never seen that before." >> thank you, john heilemann. president obama is responding for the first time about the questions about the controversial 400 million dollar the issues that came up at his news conference yesterday at the pentagon. the president discussed new air striks against isis in libya. major garrett is at the white house with more. >> reporter: good morning. president obama called talk of ransom pay to iran for u.s. hostages a transfer that was carried out in big bundles of nonu.s. currency the stuff of spy novels. the president said it was much
7:15 am
place and couldn't be transferred any other way. after reviewing military efforts against isis and iraq and syria, president obama, for the first time, addressed questions about a 400 million dollar payment to iran at the time four detained americans were released. >> we announced these payments in january. many months ago. there wasn't a secret. this wasn't some nefarious deal. we do not pay ransom for we do not pay ransom and we didn't here and we don't -- we won't in the future. >> reporter: as yet the administration has refused to say if the plane ferrying the americans from iran to switzerland departed before or after the currency arrived. deepening the sense iran viewed it as ransom. the president suggested the nature of the payment, not the timing, made the story intriguing.

novel because cash was exchanged. the reason cash was exchanged is because we don't have a banking relationship with iran. >> reporter: in the fight against the islamic state, obama said the tide is turning. >> isil has not had a major successful offensive operation if in either syria or iraq in a if you year. >> reporter: but the president took painful note of isis-inspired terror attacks in europe and at >> as we have seen, it is still very difficult to detect and prevent lone actors or small cells of terrorists who are determined to kill the innocent and are willing to die. >> reporter: the president also touted coalition air strikes that took off the battlefield three top isis commanders and intelligence gained from former isis strongholds in iraq and vae. the optimistic investment against the islamic state and
