wikileaks releasing the newest batch of what are believed to be campaign chairman john podesta's hacked e-mails. one showing just how much clinton's team struggled to get her to apologize over the private server controversy. writing her inability to just do a national interview and communicate genuine feelings of remorse and regret is now, i fear, becoming a character problem. i actually saying, look, i'm sorry. i think it will take so much air out of this. podesta agreeing saying trying to figure out how to get her there and best way to execute. >> as i look back at it now, though it was allowed, i shuld have used two accounts. one for personal. one for work-related e-mails. that was a mistake. i'm sorry about that. i take responsibility.

independently verified the e-mails. the clinton campaign not responding to individual documents, instead, akuding the russians of orchestrating the hack to give donald trump a win. >> i don't give credence to the dumped documents because i don't know if they're accurate. >> reporter: 12,000 e-mails so far. everything from when clinton should laugh during debates. >> whoo, okay. >> reporter: to her p seem to contradict her public positions. everyone this one, claiming clinton told a private trade union gathering that extreme environment al lists need to, quote, get a life. and donald trump has questioned whether the russians were behind the hacks. his running mate, mike pence, seemed to take a different stand saying there's no question, george, that evidence suggests russian involvement.

[ crowd booing ] >> i don't think many are surprised by that reaction on the road, you're usually booed any way. then what he's been doing. explain the environment around the game. >> it was very divisive, obviously, robin. you have some people believing that he's just un-american. that he is not what america is all about. they believe that he's disrespecting the flag,

anthem. disrespecting what america supposedly stands for. as a result, they have a lot of vitriol for him. another segment of the populus want to applaud him, thank him for his bravery, courageousness. they wanted to take selfies with him after the game. talk to him. it's one of those situations where, it just heightens and illuminates that we're a divided nation right now. it's incredibly polarizing times. we allno we watch not the election. his situation, essentially, epitomizes that. i wasn't surprised at all by what i saw from the fans in buffalo. they just felt the way they felt. others feel otherwise. >> he seems pretty unfazed by the criticism. >> those are rare occurrences right now, i think people realize the impact of what's going on. like i said from the beginning, i knew the consequences of what

>> bigger issue for him now as player is the play of himself and his team. >> there's no question about it. the 49ers stink. let's be clear about that. listen, he didn't play miserably. at the same time, 13 for 29 for 187 yards is not that impressive, though he made some plays with his feet. the 49ers don't have playmakers on offense pip don't know if they have players on defense. they looked like a franchise right now. they are the worse he plays, he'll get more attention. >> stephen a. smith unplugged. let's move on to the flight ban for samsung phones. u.s. air safety officials are issuing an emergency order that prohibits people from taking the galaxy note 7 on planes. gio benitez has the story.

"the wall street journal" is saying samsung was using self-testing. doing their own testing instead of using third party testing like other phones. be looking at that. >> no doubt. also, let's be realistic, if you own one of these phones, you're traveling, what are you going to do? are there suggestions? >> we're learning right now, samsung, robin, is going to be at some of the busiest airports. probably here at laguardia. samsung reps will be here. they'll exchange it. but samsung is sending boxes to your houses.

boxes. pop the phone in, send it back. they don't want it here. if tsa sees it, they'll send you home. now the a breakfast staple in jeopardy. o.j., orange juice? once the morning's beverage of choice for so many is plunging in popularity. american consumption is down 13%. what's up with o.j.? >> o.j. is going the way of spam, at least it seems. zbloe, yeah. >> something you used to enjoy for breakfast, now, not so much. the primary reason is health. for years, orange jus was marketed as part of a complete breakfast. recent years, evidence suggests it's not as healthy as we thought. it's high in fructose. a lot of carbs. and the poor citrus farmers have the trifecta. people are not as interested in drinking it.

weather. and disease. >> this is so serious. you have the usda shifting guidelines? >> that's right. any day care could not give orange juice there to kids under 1 year old. you have school districts following suit around the world that are removing orange juice from the school. one thing i read. i tried it myself. if you google orange juice good for you. number one reason to stop drinking orange juice. and the other is why orange juice is slowly killing you. 27 grams of sugar, in 12 ounces of orange juice. it's the same ad as a pack of m & ms or a can of soda. >> we drank it growing up. who knew? >> i like freshly squeezed orange juice, which is much better for you.

try to model for him. we sneak juice in the other room. >> can i have my kambucha. >> it's supposed to be really healthy for you. >> it's just good. it's just good. >> kambucha, good, o.j., bad. that's the takeaway. thank you very much. coming up, we hear from the heroes seen many this amazing rescue video. hay they've is a woman trapped in her suv as it takes on water. the end to treatments. a potential breakthrough for parents. ve my students. i want them to be successful. i can't imagine doing anything else. i was twenty-eight years old when i felt my first lump. a year later i found out i had breast cancer. i told my students, i promise you i will come back. cancer treatment centers of america, i felt like they really cared about me. i met my team of doctors and my care management team.
