announcer: this portion of "cbs this morning" sponsored by toyota. let's go places! ? welcome to "cbs this morning." the first presidential debate tonight is likely to be the most watched in history. hillary clinton and donald trump will face each other in prime time for 90 minutes. the television audience could be 100 million people or more. the latest national poll out this morningho clinton led by six points in the same bloomberg politics poll after the convention. >> key advisers for both candidates will be here. we will talk to jason miller and robbie mook and preview tonight's showdown with john dickerson and bob schieffer who have moderated past debates. major garrett is covering how

this whole scene here today, tonight, will remind the coun powerfully how this once was. donald trump in the ring with hillary clinton. statistically tied for the presidency of the united states. a daring calculation, one that if successful, could catapult his candidacy and, if not, might well crater it. >> trump is doing great. he >> mr. trump is ready for the debate. he is very expedited. >> reporter: donald trump surrogates went over the prep and suggested a life of real estate and reality tv may be enough. >> i think donald trump has been preparing for this debate for his entire lifetime. >> reporter: trump has held no mock debates and devoted little time to briefing books. his recent policy speeches have all been on teleprompter, a

house speaker paul ryan sounded a cautionary note. >> hillary clinton has been doing this much of her life and a consummate pro and new for donald so i think he should overprepare for it. >> reporter: leading up to the debate trump spend 140 million on tv and digits ads. ten times his budget so far. the 100 million dollar tv investment first reported on by cbs news will finance ads in 13 states. including three states trump added because of tightening poll wisconsin, new mexico, and maine. another predebate development? >> donald, you're a coward. >> reporter: arch rival ted cruz buried the hatchet and formally endorsed trump. there is also predebate high jinx. clinton's campaign invited brash billionaire and trump crick mark

said he would put gennifer flowers alongside of him. she said she had a decades long affair with clinton. trump said she has not been formally invited and, gayle, they don't expect her to attend. >> nancy cordes is inside the debate arena tracking hillary clinton's preparation. nancy, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. the clinton camp believes tonight's debate will be so pivotal she didus events all of last week, compared to the nine events that her opponent did and they say she has been prepping for a debate that will show she knows the issues and trump doesn't. clinton spent most of the weekend at home and at a nearby hotel, practicing with a small group of confidants, including campaign chairman john poe ddes

pmpltse. clinton has studied debates. her campaign is trying to get under his skin by releasing a list what they call the seven deadly lies he might tell tonight, like his claim that he opposed the iraq war from the beginning. or that he'll get mexico to pay for a border wall. on "face the nation," clinton's running mate argued trump needs to be held to the same standard as clinton when it comes to these debates you get 90 minutes to look at people and really see what whether there is depth, whether there is substance and whether there is a candor and truthfulness in what they say. >> reporter: clinton knows the format. she has participated in 26 presidential primary debates and needs a performance tonight that will stop her slide in the polls. the latest cbs news battleground tracker shows her lead has shrunk from 12 points to 8 in

colorado, two states where her campaign was so confident a month and a half ago, they stopped airing tv ads. and that is why clinton's aides say cher job tonight is to convince a wide swath of voters that trump lacks detailed policy proposals and is easily provoked. to that end, you might hear her talk about his admiration of putin or even question whether trump is worth as much as he says he is. robbie mook is here. good morning. >> good morning. >> is a goal tonight to tear trump down or build her up and get at the question of trust, and command of issues? >> i'm really glad that you asked that because hillary clinton knows she needs to earn the voters' trust. we have found the unfiltered moments as tim kaine said 90 minutes up there she can speak directly to the voters and had the opportunity to talk about not just what her plans are to

really a part of a lifelong mission to fight for kids and families. she has done really well. i think it is -- will trump demonstrate a command of the issues? we think that is a bar every candidate needs to pass. we also are concerned that trump is going to continue to lie. >> why do you think she can change the trust dynamic in one debate when, in fact, she hasn't been able to do it over a lifetime or in terms of this campaign? >> the central question of this entire campaign is which one of these candidates is going to fight on people and it actually has plans will make a difference in their lives. can voters trust a candidate to get that done? and they can absolutely trust hillary at the she has a lifetime record of working with bojed of the aisle, bringing people together and getting real things done. >> we keep hearing she is preparing for two trump's. what exactly does that mean? tell us a little bit about the preparation work you all have been doing. >> well, one of the concerns that voters have about donald

right trempmeemperament to be commander in chief. we have seen him bullying hillary with mean tweets the last feud. few days. we don't know who will be there. but hillary will be prepared. >> in the front row who has been very vocal against donald trump is that a little while of a dig to call him out putting mark cuban on the front row? >> both sides invite their supporters to come and we are proud to have mark cuban who came off the sidelines and he is political and has a lot of experience creating jobs. we are excited to have him there and have his support. he represents the kind of people coming to this campaign, republicans, republican leaning independents who are concerned about donald trump's temperament. >> was that an early indication inviting mark cuban that part of the strategy is to provoke

under his skin? >> again, we are really focused on this opportunity that hillary has to speak directly to the voters on the issues. but -- but we are concerned that donald trump may lie, he may throw misinformation out there and that hillary will have to spend all of her time trying to correct the record rather talking about the things she wants to. >> what do you expect the moderator to do? >> all we are asking is the record be checked. if donald trump lies, which he has repeatedly done in the past that that be simply checked. trump is experiencing this is a dead even heat. i know you have said the race would tighten but nobody thought it would be dead even at this point in time or a surge? >> i take that's public polls with a grain of salt. operationally, it doesn't matter. we should be running like we are 20 points behind and this is the most important election in our

lifetimes and we should be all in and win by the biggest margin we can. >> thank you, robbie mook. >> next hour, we go inside the donald trump preparation with jason miller. a lot of talk about whether the debate moderator should also be a fact checker. the executive director of the commission on presidential debates doesn't want that. >> commission asks independent smart journalists to be the moderators and we let them decide how they are going to do this. i don't think it's a good idea to get the moderator in as serving as the britannica and i think it's important to facilitate and ask the candidates to correct each other as they see fit. >> cbs news political director john dickerson and bob schieffer on here on some of this morning's face-offs. bob, you were involved in the last campaign's presidential race, what about janet brown just said? is it the responsibility? i know you've written about this. the candidates to fact-check

both candidates if one of them makes a glaring error to not let the other person have an opportunity to call them out. i think people want to know if that person knows the answer to the question. >> that is a good thing. it's called a rebuttal. >> if they don't, then i think the moderator has to step in and say, you know, for the record, folks, take it from there. maybe ask another question. >> there has been talk that a lot of voters have still not made up their minds, john, tonight. what are they looking for and what should each candidate to do to try to get those voters on their side? >> it depends. basically, donald trump has to show that he can be president. a debate is the formal thing in a campaign where a candidate looks a little bit like a president and there is a style and so, you know, for donald trump, it's basically to present something different than the candidate who shows up at his rallies. for hillary clinton, she has a bunch of things. she to remind people of the

heart, which is both for those undecided voters but it's also for her voters. what we know from political science about debates is that people become stronger partisans when they watch debates. in hillary clinton hasn't enthusiasm problem and that is different than vote intent. in other words, people may be ready to vote but may not be excited about it. if she has an enthusiasm problem, then a debate can make people think, oh, that is why i like her. >> you think this is more about shoring up your base than it is t >> it can be both. undecided may slosh around over the course of three debates but voting going on now. if both of your campaigns can grab voters that are newly energized by something happens in a debate and bank votes and get them in line so there is an organizational benefit. >> in fact, the campaigns believe that 40% of the final tally may be by early vote this year. to your point. that is why these debates are so critical. it's not that you'll remember going into the booth but people are voting now. >> well, norah, that is why when

that, these debates are about so much more. than somebody's position on the issues. voters want to take a measure of the person. does a person have the right stuff? does he have the dignity, the courage, how you react under pressure. i think the reason most people vote for a president is do they think this is someone that they would feel comfortable with in time of crisis. >> therefore, what does dona do it? >> it will be interesting to see. i mean, i have no idea what donald trump is going to do. and anybody that wants to predict what donald trump is going to do -- >> it's not a question of what might do but what does he have to do? in other words, how do you appear presidential? does he become somber and less attractive? >> i think he has to just leave the impression that he could handle the job.

>> well, but that's what i think is -- what people decide during these debates. >> do you think they are being judged differently, hillary clinton and donald trump? the clinton campaign says that she is being held to a much higher standard than he. >> no, i don't think so. i think they are both judged by exactly the same standards and we will see what happens. how they decide what the standards are that they are trying to meet. >> impressions will be made in the first 10 or 15 minutes? >> that' what is happening -- a lot of reporters will be wasting their time looking at twitter instead of the whole 90 minutes and they will develop a narrative and that narrative will start bouncing around and we saw that in the last campaign and that is not good. >> yeah. 90 minutes and no breaks. all right. thank you both. bob schieffer and john dickerson. watch tonight's debate on cbs. our live coverage begins at 9:00 eastern/8:00 central. the world is remember the extraordinary career and life of

died yesterday from heart complications at the age of 87. palmer's style and dominance on the golf course elevated the game to new heights. dana jacobson has more. >> reporter: beloved and transcendent is how arnold palmer is remembered today. his father a golfer and grounds keeper in latrobe, pennsylvania, introduced him to the game that he introduced to millions. voted the athlete of the decades in the 60s, palmer was always true to his father's words. don't in are -- show them! >> the line is perfect. he's got it! >> reporter: norah o'donnell known simply as "the king," arnold palmer captivated the sports world with his ferocious style of play and magnetism of a movie star. golf would never be the same when palmer burst on the scene in the late 1950s and became the face of the sport as tv turned

including four masters and ta tallying 62 pga tours wins and court by presidents and had a rabid fans dubbed palmer's army. his approach ratcheted up the drama of the game. >> and this fellow is still hunting birdies. >> in 2011 he spoke to to charlie rose. >> there is no game like it. you go out there and you tee itp >> yes. >> it's you. a golf ball and the golf course. and there you go. >> reporter: palmer was a pioneer in marketing for athletes and paved the way for future stars and even a drink named after him. he also received the presidential medal of freedom and congressional gold medal. the battles between palmer and jack nicklaus defined rivalry and though nicklaus came out

reflect on it now and i look back and i say, it taught me something. it taught me how to live and how to be a better guy and not let it defeat, be the end of my life. and i'm thankful for that. >> in a statement last night, his long time friend and rival jack nicklaus said we were great competitors who loved competing against each other but we were always great friends along the way. arnold had my back and i had his. he was the king of our sport. and uls will be and bob hope may have put it best. he said in bringing golf to the masses, two things matter -- arnold palmer and the mulligan. >> there is a saying in golf that every governor played since him should give him 15% of their earnings because he made the game. >> everything thought michael jordan made marketing in sports.

between he and jack. donald trump is heading from russia to love on.

i love that my shop is part of the morning ritual around here. people rely on that first cup and i wouldn't want to mess with that. but when (my) back pain got bad, i couldn't sleep. i had trouble getting there on time. then i found aleve pm. aleve pm is the only one to combine a safe sleep aid plus the 12 hour strength of aleve. for pain relief that can last into the morning. ? look up at a new day...? hey guys! now i'm back. aleve pm for a better am. ? 0-1 to charlie. swung on and high flyball to deep left field! it is gone. >> vin scully's voice has been the sound track for dodger baseball for 67 years.

microphone. the 88-year-old yesterday called his final home game. the dodgers clenched the national league west title with a walkoff home run. amid the celebration, the dodgers and their manager dave roberts, paid tribute to vin scully from the field. >> what do you want to say to vin? >> vin, we love you! and this is for you, my friend! >> to show what the team and the fans meant to him, scully played his rendition beneath my wings." >> scully was singing this song. that's nice. >> what a nice tribute. >> i think it's so nice you can see those kind of tributes while you're still alive and you get to see what you mean to people. >> he was just plain good. so good. >> good always works! it's good to be good! ahead, we will talk to one of donald trump's top campaign advisers about how his candidate

tomorrow, democratic vice presidential nominee tim kaine will be with us at the table to break down the big moments of the debate that happens tonight. ? is depression more than sadness? ? ? ? trintellix (vortioxetine) is a prescription medicine for depression. trintellix may start to untangle or help improve the multiple symptoms of depression. for me, trintellix made a difference. tell your healthcare professional right away if your depression worsens, or you have unusual changes in mood, behavior or thoughts of suicide.

trintellix has not been studied in children. do not take with maois. tell your healthcare professional about your medications, including migraine, psychiatric and depression medications to avoid a potentially life-threatening condition. increased risk of bleeding or bruising may occur especially if taken with nsaid pain relievers, aspirin, or blood thinners. manic episodes or vision problems may occur in some people. may cause low sodium levels. the most common side effects are nausea, constipation and vomiting. are professional if trintellix could make a difference for you. does your makeup remover take it all off? every kiss-proof, cry-proof, stay-proof look?

with one towelette. need any more proof than that? neutrogena. thinning of the teeth and leading to being extremely yellow would probably gross me out! my dentist recommended pronamel. it can help protect enamel from acid erosion. pronamel is all about your enamel. ? i am ready. because today there's harvoni. a revolutionary treatment for the most common type of chronic hepatitis c. harvoni is proven to cure up to 99% of patients... ...who've had no prior treatment. it transformed treatment as the first cure that's... ...one pill, once a day for 12 weeks. certain patients... ...can be cured with just 8 weeks of harvoni. harvoni is a simple treatment regimen that's been prescribed to more than a quarter of a million patients.

hiv, or any other medical conditions, and about all the medicines you take including herbal supplements. taking amiodarone with harvoni may cause a serious slowing of your heart rate. common side effects of harvoni may include tiredness, headache and weakness. i am ready to put hep c behind me. i am ready to be cured. are you ready?

? it is monday, september 26th, 2016. welcome back to "cbs this morning.? more real news ahead including debates ever. we talk with donald trump's senior communications adviser coming up. first, here's a look at today's "eye opener" at 8:00. >> donald trump pure novice in the ring with hillary clinton and statistically tied for the presidency. >> they say she is prepping for a debate that shows she knows the issues and trump doesn't. >> can she be dynamic in one debate when he hasn't been able

>> the question of this campaign is who is going to fight on the side of the american people. >> is this something they feel comfortable with in terms of crisis? >> what does donald trump have to do -- >> it will be interesting to see. i have no idea what donald trump is going to do. >> beloved and transcendent is how arnold palmer is being remembered. voted the athlete in the 1960s. his father said, people how good you are. show them. >> on this kickoff, she actually calls, i got it and tries to catch it. a mistake. hit in the face! >> i was trying to catch the ball and i made a mistake and caught the ball with my face instead of my hands. >> are you okay, though? >> i'm okay on. >> i'm charlie rose with gayle king and norah o'donnell.

or more are expected to watch tonight's debate. donald trump and hillary clinton will stand on the debate stage for the first time. the first of three scheduled 90-minute matchups will focus on securing america and achieving prosperity. >> cbs news elections director anthony sellvanto is here to show us where the campaign stand right now. you look so close at the electorate map. what do you see this morning? >> when i was here last, not that long big, big lead for clinton and gone away and a narrow lead, at best. state after state has moved back to being a tossup. talk about states like ohio, like, florida, the battle grounds we talk about colorado too. >> you initially had it at 264 electoral votes and now 191? >> actually, she had, not too long ago she was well up over

and now 200 in states leaning her way. the key states have moved back to tossup. >> the question is why? >> the answer is enthusiasm on the part of her voters has gone down and so what happens in polling is it's not that people are switching over to donald trump or going back and forth. her voters are saying they are less likely to vote and less excited about her. >> she is losing rather than gaining? >> yeah, for the most part and one of the things i think she has to do tonight is rev up that base. you look at younger voters and parts of her constituency she less excited. yeah, we are a little less likely to come out and that makes the poll numbers go down. >> she is at 264 and he is at 191 and the same he was several weeks ago. >> right. but for him, that is actually -- that is actually good. because she has come down and that, obviously, puts a lot of states now where he is in striking distance. and that wasn't the case -- >> she is only one state away from winning.

well, yeah. >> how do you look at it then? >> i look at it it's still a race. this is a race that can now go either way. because it wasn't the case before, right? she is one state away. here is the thing, norah. here is the thing. she doesn't necessarily win them all in a row. the states moop move in tandem but yes it's one state but states swing as a group if a big change happens. >> if the polls are right, 100 million of us will be watching. can't wait. >> yep. >> trust is a serious trouble spot for both of the candidates. a recently poll shows that 45% of voters think that donald trump is honest and trustworthy. only 36% see hillary clinton that way. on sunday, the candidate surrogates addressed the trust issue. >> i think donald trump always speaks straight from his mind and straight from his heart. i think he's the most bold, truth teller to run for president of the united states. >> but she has a challenge

things that aren't true. >> hillary clinton's casual relationship with the truth is well known to americans. i'm sure twwe will see it on fu display tomorrow night. i don't appreciate campaigns thinking it's the job of the media to be these virtual fact check irs. >> jason miller is senior communications adviser for the trump campaign. glad to have you at the table. >> good morning. >> what would be your definition of success tonight for mr. trump and what makes you look at him and say battle evening? >> i think mr. trump will show he is the one to get our economy back on track and keep us safe and make sure we renegotiate the bad trade deals and he'll stop illegal immigration. he is able to convey that message the same things carrying him so well in the polls' seeing it with the crowds and the energy this week that will be success. >> those are talking points. i want to get to the nitty-gritty what you see in him tonight that make you you know he is on fire and ready to take

90 minutes, no break. >> i think we will see tonight mr. trump is ready to be commander in chief. this is a chance where voters have seen the commercials. a lot more from hillary's side as 250 million dollars dumped on mr. trump's ad. but they will see the candidates up there at the same time. on the stage together. i think they will see one candidate is ready to be commander in chief and a change agent and he is going to change our country and take us the right direction. that will be secretary clinton. >> what is on his list of things not to do? >> i would say -- you know, i think tonight, as long as he talks about his message and he is focused and talking about the contrast between the two, the vision he wants to go versus where hillary wants to go i think that is win. here is the thing for mr. trump coming into tonight. he is a candidates that he is not a police statitician. he hasn't been doing this 30 years and doesn't blow dry every single answer coming forward. >> to charlie's question, one of

and he is a counterpuncher. he punches back when challenged. has the campaign talked about how they may do that tonight? he is going to counterpunch? >> he'll be ready for tonight. never underestimate donald trump. >> he is preparing not by the way she might be preparing with briefing books, but looking for some psychological insight? >> well, the one thing that we have seen, this is more on the staff end. this is more as we discuss as a team in getting things together is that sta will do great in her first answer. we will see her first answer in each sick sections and she will hit a home run and programmed and poll and tested out. where secretary clinton runs into trouble is the second and third answers where it become more variables come and more interaction between the candidates and where she runs into trouble. >> people question whether he has a second and third answer, that he is not deep on terms of policy. he is primarily deep in terms of

build a wall." >> mr. trump has laid out out how to get the economy going and he has the policies and his website he has laid out very detailed plans and great piece in the "wall street journal" today on that point. and you'll see -- you'll see tremendous amount of substance. you'll see a remarkable clarity. and, again, when we start getting into the second and third questions -- after the openings for each candidate you have this back and forth, this ten-minute section and that is where hillary starts running into trouble i through -- >> where -- >> are they allowed to question each other? >> there will be some back and forth. but it's largely determined by the moderator. >> where is it that voters make up their mind in the first 10 to 15 minutes? a lot of people watching on twitter. are you concerned about that in no 90-minute break and you can't go to a break and say here is what you want to do here and there. no worries or concerns about that? >> mr. trump is going to come % out and he'll talk about his vision. again, the great thing about mr.

he is going to be the same person wherever you see him and whatever he is talking about. that is what is so great about going into the debate is that why you're seeing the energy the crowds and poll numbers reflecting those great numbers that we have seen from other networks this morning. >> have y'all had mock debates with him? >> not with a stand-in with hillary clinton because mr. trump is focused on what he wants to talk about in this debate and communicate to the american people. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> good to see you. >> v have you heard? there is a debate tonight. our coverage begins live 9:00 eastern/8:00 central. the mayor of charlotte has lifted the city's overnight curfew put into place after overnight debates by protesters who marched in charlotte last night. at least one person was detained but there were no reports of violence. over the weekend, police released dash and body camera videos of last tuesday's

physical that create the entire picture. >> reporter: now chief putney said officers put him out of the vehicle when they saw him with marijuana and a firearm. protests were outside looking for peaceful demonstrations last night. the family is now making funeral preparations. >> thank you, errol. a dream deferred becomes a dream realized. how

father of bush 41 for influencing and what he thought of his dignity. >> i can't say enough about that museum, though, guys. every time i go, it fills you up in another way. it is a people's story and a nation's journey. there is something for everybody there. >> coming up, a unique game of catch. thousands of feet up. how two sky divers managed to play ball during a free-fall outside of a plane. >> catch me, if you can right that is what we do, unbelievable things here on "cbs this morning." t. almost everything. you know, 1 i n 10 houses could get hit by an expensive septic disaster. but for only $7 a month, rid-x helps break down waste. avoid a septic disaster with rid-x. i tried hard to quit smoking. but when we brought our daughter home, that was it. now i have nicoderm cq. the nicoderm cq patch with unique extended release technology helps prevent your urge to smoke all day.

moment on the campaign trail. take a look at this. a crowd of people in orlando recently turned their backs to hillary clinton. this was not a snub. they were trying to snap a selfie with her. some people wondered whether hillary clinton had invited the crowd to take the selfie all at once. that would certainly make more sense that somebody said, let's all do it at the same time because it's unusual you see everybody turn their backs at the same time. >> she is clearly enjoying the moment. >> that is the way to make something share it. >> to that point this photo has been retweeted more than 16,000 times. national security is a featured topic at tonight's first presidential debate. a new bloomberg national poll finds 24% of americans believe the threat from terrorism and isis is the most important issue facing the country. fox news and host and anchor bill o'rooil i didn't takes on the country's most pivotal national securities in his

sun." it offers a gripping look at the country's use of the atomic bomb and it is the latest in his killing series with martin duguard. the book is number one and we have we are pleased to have you back. >> good morning. i don't know why you guys keep inviting me back. i'm so boring. particularly in the morning! >>. >> you're not a good talker and why we keep asking that. >> you love the series and the movies made about these books tonight first. what are you looking for? >> i think secretary of state clinton has the advantage and been there before. it's like sports. you been there before and takes a little bit of the edge off so i think she has the advantage. she is well-versed on policy and she can deal with pretty much any issue you put in front of her. so you'd have to say handicapping it, she hat gang. >> is it an advantage for her that she has been one-on-one often and he has generally been with a variety of candidates? >> sure. the camera doesn't lie and when

your air time is limited, the mistakes don't really matter because there's so much clutter. but one on one with everybody analyzing every word you say and every sill balance you say is a lot hard e. >> one-on-one, 90 minutes with no break. you asked donald trump are you going to take hillary apart and he said, i have no idea. did you believe that answer from him? >> yeah. i do. i think he is a counterpunch. i think the trump track is he is going to try to portray the country as being in that is what he is going to do. but if she starts at him he has five or six bang bang bang. you saw it over the weekend. the clinton campaign invited mark cuban to sit there and that was, you know, a little of this to trump. what does he do? he one up's it with gennifer flowers. if he hits trump, trump comes back with fairly rehearsed lines that he has. >> that is the theater of this debate and certainly a lot of

one-on-one, many of the papers this weekend sort of took apart donald trump in terms of detailing the number of factual inaccuracies he has laid out during this campaign. how do you think that plays itself out tonight? >> viewers don't really care about -- >> the facts? >> the facts? >> not about facts. trump himself is a generalist. the big picture guys. country in trouble. i'm going to f negotiator. his supporters and those who may vote for him who are undecided accept the fact he is not a guy who is going to be teaching in princeton political science. they accept it. the voter is going to be looking how they conduct themselves tonight. >> how significant do you think the momentum he has now is? >> her -- the basket of deplorables really hurt her because has is speaking down and even if americans don't like

again, this is a lot of personality involved with this election. a lot of personality. >> you said that that was a condescending comment but some people would say some of the things donald trump has been very condescend to go a wide variety of people. do you think that matters? >> yes. he has been called racist and misogynist. i think two candidates have heavy deficits coming into this debate. >> the book, give us the atomic bomb. >> when i started researching this book, martin duguard did the heavy researching. i didn't know eisenhower didn't want to drop the bomb. he told truman, no, don't do it. i will tell you why he didn't want to drop the bomb he wanted the glory of the invasion but it would have killed 4 to 5 million people.

truman isn't sure what the bomb is? >> franklin roosevelt who dies in georgia with his mistress in the room. another fascinating story. he never even talked to truman! he thought truman was a clerk! all right? truman never got briefed. he didn't know anything. then eleanor calls him to the white house and says he is dead. truman says is there anything i can do for you, mrs. roosevelt? she said, is there anything i can do for you? u' truman knewing nothing. he has to get up to speed on what it is. he had no idea. >> the long lens of history on that decision, interesting. you have carter and both bush's writing letters supporting the decision. >> i asked all five living presidents to write me a personal letter whether they would have supported truman to drop the bomb. three didn't, two bush's and carter. all three said yes. this is speculation. i don't think he would have dropped the bomb.

with his wife running for president. but i think clinton would have dropped it. >> some of your critics say that killing series, it's time for the killing to stop, o'reilly? >> yeah. we only sell 2 to 3 million books each time. yeah, i think some of the critics may be a little jealous, gayle, but that's just me. >> thank you. >> three more coming. >> killing the rising sun is on sale now. you can watch tonight's debate right here on cbs. our live coverage begins at 9:00 eastern/8:00 central. >> he is an original member of hollywood's famous brat pack. i wonder if he is sick of that term? rob lowe is playing a military doctor on "code black." he's in our toyota green room. check out that hairdo! dude, good to see you.

one in eight women will face breast cancer. early detection can mean the difference between life and death. planned parenthood gives new hampshire women access to life saving cancer screenings. but ayotte voted to defund planned parenthood six times. why? because ayotte opposes a woman's right to choose. in her relentless effort to overturn roe v. wade, ayotte puts critical cancer screenings at risk, hurting new hampshire women.
