3:22 am
welcome back. when james comey made his statement, democrats reacted. by saturday, they went on the offensive. joining me now is hillary clinton's campaign manager robby mook. robby, welcome back to "meet the press." >> thanks, chuck. >> let me start with getting your -- to react to how democrats talked about james comey before friday. here it is. >> this is a great man. we are very privileged in our country to have him be the director of the fbi. >> no one can question the integrity, the competence. >> wonderful and tough career public servant. jim was in the u.s. attorney's office in the eastern district of virginia when i was the mayor of richmond. he is somebody with the highest
3:23 am
standards of ining at the rtegr. >> tim kaine said it two weeks ago. does secretary clinton and senator kaine still believe those things about jim comey? >> i think the director does have a long and distinguished record. i think that's why people are particularly puzzled about this letter that was sent to the hill. first and foremost, it was three paragraphs. it didn't provide any details whatsoever. he said that there were some e-mails. he didn't know if they were significant or not. this letter was sent to leaders on the hill, unsurprisingly, it was leaked immediately by the republicans and leaked in a with a that mischaracterized the small amount of information that was in the letter. all we're asking for now is let's just get all the information out there on the table. there's hypotheticals flying all over the place. and i think what's particularly surprising is yahoo! news reported last night that director comey may not have even
3:24 am
seen any of the information in the e-mails before putting out the letter. so to send a letter to congress saying we may have information, we don't flknow if it's significant without looking at what's inside, ten, 11 days before a president yalt ial ele it's very curious. >> john podesta wrote, he said by being vague, tomorrowy op coe door to conspiracy theories. there's fund-raising for trump and his team. do you think comey put the finger on the scale for donald trump? >> well, i think the issue here is if he doesn't come out and get all the information on the table, he is going to let anyone, any conspiracy theory take the day. i will say, we have seen a surge of activity on our side as well. we had our best saturday of fund-raising ever yesterday. we had over 50,000 volunteers out knocking on doors and turning our supporters out to the polls. we actually felt a surge of
3:25 am
support and momentum as well. so we're feeling fine in that regard. but again, let's just get all the information out there so that the rumors and the hypotheticals can be put to rest. again, we're hearing a lot of criticism now from former justice department officials, from former clinton, former bush administration, pointing out this is unprecedented. there are justice department policies against doing something like this so close to an election. >> there's an easy way for you to clear some of this up. huma abedin is a vice chair of the campaign. she may -- does she have access to her e-mails now? can she -- have you been through them? can you release all of this yourself? why wait for director comey to do it? >> i'm glad you asked this question. first of all, director comey hasn't said whose e-mails these are. for us to take any action before he clarified or before anybody reached out to huma abedin from the justice department, that would be totally premature. that's the first thing.
3:26 am
the second thing is they claim they have whatever this information is. so it's going to be incumbent on them to release it. lastly, huma abedin cooperated fully with the investigation that concluded this summer. people can read the 302 summaries of the interviews of her. they were all released to the public at our request. if these are e-mails from huma abedin, we don't flow if thknow are, we assume they are redundant because she turned over her e-mails. that's why we're frustrated. >> let me ask you this. do you know -- campaigns, you know, the first rule of crisis management is know all the facts. do you know all the fact ss? are you 100% certain you know the e-mails, that you know everything in this? have you seen any of these e-mails? >> i'm glad you asked this question. we don't know all the facts, because the fbi has said basically nothing in this letter. we don't know whose e-mails they are talking about. we don't know how many.
3:27 am
according to yahoo! news, director comey doesn't know either. he hasn't seen the information. he decided to put out a letter to congress without any information whatsoever. i think that's why criticism is coming in from democratic and republican officials. >> are you confident huma abedin has been 100% forthcoming to you and secretary clinton? >> the justice department confirmed that she was totally cooperative, all of the summaries of the interviews she gave are out there in the public. she has cooperated fully. >> i understand you said that. i'm talking about you and the campaign. do you feel as if she -- you feel like you have all the facts? >> i feel i have all the facts because all the facts were put out there. the summaries of the interviews the justice department said that huma fully cooperated. that's why we are so puzzled right now. just put the information out there so we can put this to rest. this campaign is supposed to be about the american people and their lives and what the next
3:28 am
president is going to do for them. this is clouding our ability to talk about this. >> do you believe this could cost you the election? >> i don't think so. we had over 50,000 volunteers out there. we are seeing record early voting numbers in north carolina, florida. look, i would wager in nevada, turnout is so strong among democrats there, hillary could build an insurmountable lead in the coming days in nevada. we're feeling really good about this record turnout, over 200 million people in our country registered to vote, 50 million of those are young people. nose to the grind stone. people should not take anything for granted. we will have to work hard to earn this. >> robby mook, campaign manager for hillary clinton, thanks for sharing your views. appreciate you coming on. >> thanks, chuck. when we come back, much more on this e-mail story. plus our brand-new poll numbers from two states donald trump has to have. later, the man who might help turn utah blue or is it green?

3:32 am
author of a new book, audie cornish, andrea mitchell. we have two republicans here. one is on a nerve trver trump s. there he goes with the tax cuts. >> pro republican senate to get tax cuts. >> andrea, let me start with you. it's unprecedented. you and i have covered this attorntown a long time. to see james comey come under fire. now the fbi's reputation is at stake. >> it is. this is the worst possible situation for the fbi, for the country, for hillary clinton certainly. for hillary clinton to go nuclear on comey yesterday was a
3:33 am
deliberate decision. they're trying to rally the base. she did this in daytona. she did this going then to an historically african-american college and had a huge rally there on the football field. she's really now taking this to comey. and they made a deliberate decision to do this. if she's elected, she has to live with james comey who has a ten-year term. that is a very hostile situation and a dangerous situation. let me point out, john kerry in ireland said he has not been notified. comey did not know what these e-mails were and whether they were work-related. that is the question that is raising so many concerns. >> go ahead. >> to andrea's point, i agree with the first part. what i'm hearing from everybody -- i have sources in the fbi and former district attorneys. the fbi is in full revolt. the fbi has been in full revolt since the decisions last summer.
3:34 am
>> not full revolt. let's not say full revolt. >> semi-full revolt. what i'm getting at is, if comey hadn't said what he said to congress and the rest of the world, it would have leaked. it would have leaked. that whole building was ready to leak they discovered this new source with wiener and abedin. so i don't think comey had much chance here. the fbi is badly divided. >> he didn't have much choice now. the criticism is coming from the way he has handled this case from the beginning. >> i think it's interesting hearing mike pence talk a few minutes ago. essentially what he was saying is, where there's smoke -- even if there's no fire, there's a tendency to say, with the clintons there's always smoke. he kept coming back to the idea that there always seems to be something with these people. it has given them a closing argument. a closing argument that's not the end of democracy, basically. it has given the trump campaign something to actually talk about again. if you go back to july, the
3:35 am
things comey said in the press conference could have been cut into ads. if the campaign wasn't so busy tripping over trump's mistakes, this is what they could have focused on. >> do you think -- you are -- you have been around this town a long time. do you think comey will feel the pressure and feel as if he does need to fill in the blanks? >> he seems to be a guy to make press when he thinks he is under attack. the problem was the letter. i agree, he was botched eboxed. the speculation machine and everywhere else will go into hyperdrive. he will have to say something about, we're checking these e-mails for duplicates, the stuff we have. something to tamp it down a little until they know what's real. he is in a horrible possible. >> donald trump was in new hampshire, took the stage and said, illegal, misconduct, she should be in jail. you heard the lock her up cries. he could have said, this is not an investigation. this is just finding out.
3:36 am
he could have said, there's nothing criminal here. he could have put in, we don't know. we have seen not seen e-mails, which has been reported. >> that's a key point. >> we don't know if they are personal. he could have said these things. the fact that he wrote that letter -- now all of these senate ranking members saying, you have to be more specific. >> i don't think the letter was as artful as it could have been. >> you think? >> i would have did a little work as a former speech writer myself. having said all that, the bizarre part of this story -- it's going to be bizarre until the election. the democrats loved comey last summer. the republicans love comey right now. it's going to be a standoff. i don't think much is going to come out of this new. but i want to go back to this point. loretta lynch and the meeting with bill clinton has damaged the justice department, whether that's fair or not. now with regards to the fbi, you have a split. comey's own assistant director, his deputy director was
3:37 am
involved. his wife is running for the state senate in virginia. >> it's a lot -- that's a lot of innuendo. >> and it was hillary who raised the money to finance the campaign. >> you are making a lot after sum gss. >> but in the public eye, chuck, these things all come out. >> i get the perception. >> fair or not, the perception -- >> the big irpoger politics are we are going to do. the campaigns live in fear of the last seven days. the clinton people, i think, ticked off the great and vengeful god of campaigns. now they have this. it's about hillary for a while. it's not a bad idea to have huma call for transparency. >> do you think that could -- do you think the clinton -- >> for last few months, we have learned any time one of them is under the spotlight, they get roughed up in the polls. they don't look good. there's never a time they're in the spotlight and people say, i
3:38 am
think i like that person after all. >> why doesn't huma say, here are the e-mails? >> a staffer with a press conferen conference? >> crowd source it. put it out there. >> here they are. >> she doesn't know what's on the laptop. >> how did it get to wiener? >> a moment of silence for that. he is the patron saint of bad news. >> how does hillary e-mails -- >> you don't know. >> the investigations colliding. it's like -- >> all right. i'm going to pause it here. i gotta call a time-out. move on and pay for this program a little bit. we'll be back in a moment with the obama voters who are saying no to hillary clinton and why this could have big

3:42 am
states right now show an advantage for minnesota. but it's a different story in iowa where obama won where this year trump has kept a lead. what makes iowa different? non-college educated white voters. obama in 2012 spent time painting mitt romney as the boss who fired you and who sent that job overseas. >> that stopped with the sale of the plant. >> i know how business works. i know why jobs come and why they go. >> it was the majority owner. they were responsible. >> that was enough to keep iowa and many of the frustrated voters in the obama camp in '12. obama won the state by six points. in this cycle, donald trump is speaking to the voters in a way mitt romney never did and in a way that hillary clinton hasn't been able to. while it's true that it's not news that trump is doing well with the non-college educated white voters, it's more true in iowa than in just about any
3:43 am

welcome back. joining me now is evan mcmullin, independent candidate for president. he is on the ballot in 11 states. he has a chance to do something no independent candidate has gone since 1968, win a state which means electoral votes. he has a real shot in utah where a poll has him within one point of donald trump and a very close three-way race there. you see hillary clinton at 25%. in a close presidential election, six votes could matter. welcome to "meet the press." >> great to be with you. >> you have a shot at winning six electoral votes. you don't have a shot at winning 270.
3:47 am
are you comfortable swinging the election, say, one way or the other between trump and clinton, even though your voters can't elect you? >> well, i would say from the get go we knew we wouldn't be able to reach 270 votes in just a three-month presidential campaign, which clearly is an ideal. the reality is that both of the candidates are so deeply corrupt and so deeply unfit for the presidency that someone had to step in and try to block them both if the race was close. that's what our goal is. we're on the ballot in 11 states. we're registered as a write-in in a number bringing the number to 43. republicans or democrats or independents will be able vo fo to vote for us. our goal is to block them both. that's more possible if the race is close. right now, it's not close. right now hillary clinton is dominating trump in most projections of the electoral college result. >> let me ask you. if you do block them and they
3:48 am
race closes and it's 266. nobody gets more than 266 and your six matter and it's thrown to the house. is that what you want to see? >> that's what would happen. the top three finishers would go to the house. each state would get a vote. i'm confident we would compete quite well there. >> you want to remake the republican party. you have said this. november 8 is the election. how would you remake -- is it the republican party you want to remake or a new party? >> i would clarify that. i'm not sure i want to remake the republican party. we need a new conservative movement that rededicated itself to the cause of liberty and equality. the truth that all men and women are created equal. that's what this country needs. that's the leadership it needs. the republican party has drifted away from the cause of individual liberty and equality. so we need something new. >> what does that mean? if it's not the republican party, what is that? do you think you are too far out of step with the base? >> the point is that what we're building, this new movement,
3:49 am
will i think be able to play a role in reforming the republican party if that's possible. now i and my running mate, we're skeptical that can be done. if it can't be done, then conservatives will need a new political party. >> concerns with donald trump. are they rooted in what he said about muslims, hispanic americans, his role with women? are they rooted on the social side, on discrimination, or the fiscal side or both? >> my goodness. where do i start? on the fiscal side, he wants to lower taxes, but he wants to increase spending. that's a problem. this is a man who has unhealthy relationships and admiration for dictators overseas. i believe that he has some of the same ideas about leadership or domination that they do. i think he is dishonest with the american people. where are his tax returns? we don't know much about donald trump. >> okay. mr. trump is an imperfect candidate. >> imperfect? you are kind. >> you said both candidates are corrupt.

>> absolutely. >> why do you call mr. trump corrupt? you may not agree with him. he may have made ill-advised statements and so forth. but corruption? i don't see the corruption angle. >> well, i certainly do. this is a man who manipulated our system for his own personal gain. i view that as corruption. i view his unethical -- >> he atlanhasn't broken laws. >> i haven't said he broke laws. >> that's what corrupt means. >> not necessarily. i think he is unethical. i think he is somebody who would exploit our system. he doesn't understand the constitution. i think he is somebody that doesn't respect the separation of powers. this is something who would be dangerous to our country. i think hillary clinton would be, too. >> that's a question i want to ask. what's your website? i will -- >> evanmcmullin.com. >> i think it's an awful choice. but the practical affect -- if you carry utah and i think you might will be to give her a big
3:51 am
advantage. are you okay with that lesser evil winning? if that means stopping trump. >> everybody wants us to think about the election in terms of the binary choice between hillary clinton and donald trump. if we keep -- >> that's the choice we have. >> if we keep casting our votes for leaders like hillary clinton and donald trump, because we only accept those are the only two real options as many would say, then we're going to keep getting more hillary clinton and donald trump. we need to finally take a stand in this country, voters are sick and tired of the options they're being given by the two major parties. both hillary clinton and donald trump personify the crisis we're having. we're building something new. >> so for the future, make a statement, although the raw politics of it are, it probably helps -- >> if the race is close, we can block them both. if no one was doing that, we wouldn't have this chance. >> evan mcmullin -- >> has mitt romney financed you at all? >> no. we would welcome it.
3:52 am
unfortunately, that's not the case. >> it was a pleasure to have you on. thanks for coming out here. be safe on the campaign trail. >> thanks a lot. we will be back in 45 seconds with end game. our two big swing state polls that are out this morning. >> coming up, "meet the press" end game and post game, brought to you
3:53 am
"meet the press" end game is brought to you by boeing, building the mfuture one centur at a time. on earth two, our new polls might have been the lead. hillary clinton and donald trump both need florida and north carolina. but again, both of these polls were conducted before the fbi's bombshell announcement on friday. here is where things stood essentially through thursday. in florida, the race neck and neck among likely voters. 45-44. earlier this month, we had her up by three. in north carolina though, this was the big -- would have been a big story this morning pre-fbi. north carolina, clinton up six, 47-41. north carolina is clinton's best shot at winning a state.
3:54 am
president obama lost in 2012. what's interesting is i feel like it gives you a status of the race where we were going in. north carolina in particular, the early vote, everything, she may have already built up a flood wall. >> she's even with all this in pretty good shape. maybe it will tighten and help the down ballot republicans. the other thing people are missing is early on she created what i call the 38 latitude lock. colorado over to virginia. put them away. now trump could win florida and ohio, but he would have to pull a big state and win north carolina, even with this, it's a tough order. >> the president -- i was going to say the president will is going to north carolina on wednesday. michelle obama -- i was there with michelle obama and hillary clinton. even on a day almost overwhelmed by the bill clinton money issues coming out of that -- >> that was two october surprises ago. >> even then, it was an extraordinary day for them in north carolina. >> i was going to -- you mentioned ohio and florida. trump talked about bringing new
3:55 am
voters in the system. in ohio counties where he did well in the primaries, there aren't new registrations. in florida, the na jurmajority voters are not in his demographic. >> if trump campaign runs on the e-mails for the next ten days or nine days, they are making a mistake. that's out there. their spokes people will talk about it. my view is, mr. trump does his best when he talks about issues. he was gaining ground and the polls were narrowing before this e-mail scandal. chuck, i think they have to stay economic growth, tax cuts, a new issue that has emerged -- >> i'm smiling. because, larry will be more on message than trump. >> obamacare, he does best on issues. he does -- >> that's not trump. >> he has to stay on message. that's all i'm saying. >> that's the circle that can't
3:56 am
be squared. they ought to hood him like a falcon, but they can't. so he will make this worse. that's the next e-mail turn. he will say something completely crazy and make -- >> and if you look at his tax plan -- i don't want to get into this with you. but look at the committee for a responsible federal budget. particularly donald trump would just explode the budget. neither are being -- >> like jfk -- >> you know better. >> and ronald reagan. his tax cuts, particularly businesses and small business, with all due respect, will grow this economy at 4% to 5%. i will buy you a copy of my book and sign it. >> i have your book. >> you are arguing the election that might have been. if it was about issues. i give him 48 hours to stay on message? >> i'm an issues guy. >> the big affect of all of this wiener issue would be the down ballot races. that's why they are so concerned. they can see the senate in the
3:57 am
grasp. they could see gains in the house. a possible governing majority. >> can i just say about -- >> the argument comes to light -- >> let's think about if this does have the -- i believe -- we had an october clinton fund-raising scandal hit two weeks before the election. it went from clinton double digits to single. he wins. democrats didn't get the house or the senate. we may -- the ultimate affect of this may be an eight person supreme court for the next year. because republicans could hold the majority both now and in the lame duck and going forward. >> are we sure that wouldn't have happened anyway? i feel like in the era of 51% votes, the idea that you have some grand mandate and you will go into office and everything will be better, i don't think the voters are buying that. they watched the last four to six years for obama and see him walk straight into a wall of gridlock with congress. there's going to be voters out
3:58 am
there who maybe say, you know, i will stick with my down ballot choice. >> i can make the argument, democrats laugh at this, i did it on a podcast this week, that a split senate or one vote republican is almost better to get a deal done in the middle. the democratic majority, mcconnell knows they are there two years. the warren, sanders wing will box her in. >> never mind a half dozen committees that want to investigate the e-mails. >> i think paul ryan is in a fraught position. this house, no matter how this house is elected, they are gunning for him on both sides. you have polarization and gridlock, no matter. >> last word. >> the american public wants congress and the president to do some stuff that will make this country better, grow faster, have better health care and kill the terrorists. they have got to get something done. really. that's what's at the heart. >> i have to get another thing done. i have to land this plane. that's all we have for today. we will be back next week.
3:59 am
because if it's sunday, it's "meet the press." if it's this sunday, it's andrea's mitchell's birthday. happy birthday, andrea. as we go to break, we have a little surprise for you. we will see you next week. >> oh, no. >> my goodness. >> look at that. >> end game and post game, sponsored by boeing, on the "meet the press" facebook page.
