there is dominance in eastern europe. and unless he does admit his mistake, it is going to cost him some votes. >> i would have a tendency to believe that he made a mistake and he's going to have to face up to the american people and just say, that's not what i really meant to say. >> wt if it was what he meant to say? >> i think he's going to have his penalty to pay on november 2nd. >> most of the people here felt the president's remarks were a mistake, a slip of the tongue. but they're upset about it. so unless the president issues a retraction or some clarification, they're likely to remain upset all the way to the ballot box. arthur lord, nbc news, rosenberg, texas. >> rosenberg, texas. and in fact on november 2nd that year on election day in texas gerald ford did pay some kind of penalty. on november 2nd that year, gerald ford lost texas. lost texas to yjimmy carter. he also lost ohio to jimmy carter. he did pull off a squeak aer in illinois even if nbc had trouble finding angry polish americans who were angry at for

so an idea came into my mind that i would travel again through central-eastern europe, but israel only direct air flights to bucharest, the capital of romania, because that was the only country it had formal diplomatic relations with. so i bought a one-way ticket. i had a little money. i had a few phone numbers. and i left the hothouse, glittering colors of the middle east for sort of the black and white engraving of the shiverly november balkans, kind of. and i did it because in the middle east there were hundreds upon hundreds of journalists all covering the same story which was a subsidiary of the cold war. when i got to romania, there was almost no journalist covering the main story of the second half of the 20th century which was the cold war itself. c-span: can't let it pass, gotta ask you about being a member of the israeli defense force, the idf, because you weren't born in israel. explain that and how long were you in the force? >> guest: i traveled through the arab countries of the middle east in the mid 1970s. i arrived in israel with very little money. i liked the country i

what he meant to say is i will not accept any soviet domination of eastern europe. >> governor carter a response? >> charitably that was a momentary blip. uncharitably it was a loss of touch with reality. >> clearly a huge moment where the country makes the judgment, you know, that maybe we do need to go in a different direction and replace the president. [ indiscernible ] >> ford had never lost an election in his life. won 15 straight terms in the house. here he is beaten by a one-term governor of georgia. he was crushed. >> my voice isn't up to par. let me call on the real spokesperson for the family. peggy. >> it's been the greatest honor of my husband's life to have served his fellow americans during two of the most difficult years in our history. >> i think the real test comes now. will these people who have taken apart the old system can somehow translate politics into power and make a government work. that's their real test. we are on the threshold possibly of the greatest change since the new deal in 1932. office depot officemax. gear up for school. gear up for great. ♪ it's p

just leave eastern europe to me. you don't understand these people. i'll take care of them. you can come over and build hotels if you want. and that kind of handshake frightens the europeans to death. but it's not just that they're worried about it. they count on american support. and when a major candidate for the office of president of the united states indicates he may not be supporting them, it empowers all the people who in their own political systems have said i told you so, i told you so. russia is strong. russia is going to be here. better listen to russia. they will come in and kick us you know where. so it upsets the ongoing balance in the political structures even before the american election. so he's already having an impact. it's not a good impact because when the politics in eastern europe starts turning that way, then investors don't put money in, the economies don't grow and ordinary people suffer. it's not a good thing. >> general, good to see you. thank you so much for joining us with your insights. we appreciate it . >> thank you very much, uma. pleasure t

watch this moment. >> there is no soviet domination of eastern europe and there never will be under aoreign administration. >> doug, why was that such a pivotal moment? >> because he is the president of the united states at that juncture and he knows that eastern europe was under soviet domination. it was a big blunder. he had an opportunity to do a correction and he didn't correct it. maybe carter can be president. that's what people are looking for for trump tonight. carter was a one-term governor from georgia. so, kind of introducing himself as a possible president. he won that debate. tonight, trump's trying to say you can't imagine me in the oval office. >> so, two great examples. so, you can make a blunder factually, which is a problem and can change the course of history. or you can come up with sort of a clever catch phrase that people remember and take away from it. >> and, alisyn, in the case of the ford blunder, people didn't know it was a blunder immediately. it was the chatter afterwards that made it out to be a huge gaffe. so what people will say tomorrow will matter a l

memoir not for everyday use i tell about a colleague of mine whose father had come to america from eastern europe when he was a young adult, i think maybe 20 or so. my colleague argues that it was unrelated to america's treatment of its black said his sins. neither his family members were in america during slavery times nor in jim crow times, lower during the civil rights movement. then i reminded my friend of the father managed to accumulate close to a million dollars for his children. you see, two decades ago, my friend's father and my ex were both looking to purchase a house in long island with a few. my ex was shown a house along the ground. vh1 is the operative word that the realtor used to persuade my ax. there is a long way to the beach. he'd my friend to a house on the canal. both my ax and my father paid $34,000 for their houses a long, long time ago. my ex got 174 at thousand dollars. my friend's father about close to a million dollars. the history of american has long tentacles. giving economic advantage given to resent white immigrants who benefit, even if they themselves were not air

legal hispanic immigrants and legal immigrants, period, whether from asia, eastern europe or whereverm in the world, legal immigrants often despise the fact that illegal immigrants are able to hop the line and cheat and get in front of them and compete with them, by the way, in the labor market. it's not an either/or scenario. >> why is donald trump at 22%' in the latest nbc online poll with hispanics which is 5% less than self-deportation declaring mitt romney and why in the latest public poll he's at 23%, about the same, from august 20 to 28. why is he losing hispanic voters because the vast majority obviously of hispanic voters are either born in the united states or people who lawfully migrated here. >> i will be the first to concede we have an uphill battle of convincing voters of color we have their policies at heart and have their backs, frankly, in terms of policy. i want to convince them, i think donald trump does, too, that the democratic party has taken them for granted for far too long. it's not so much that their lives matter, it's that their votes matter to the democrati

we've virtually signed, in helsinki, an agreement that the russians have dominance in eastern europe. we've bailed out soviet agriculture with our huge grain sales. we've given them large loans, access to our best technology and if the senate hadn't , interfered with the jackson amendment, maybe you would've given them even larger loans. is that what you call a two-way street of traffic in europe? mr. ford: i believe that we have negotiated with the soviet union since i've been president from a position of strength. and let me cite several examples. shortly after i became president in december of 1974, i met with general secretary brezhnev in vladivostok, and we agreed to a mutual cap on the ballistic missile launchers at a ceiling of 2400, which means that the soviet union, if that becomes a permanent agreement, will have to make a reduction in their launchers that they now have or plan to have. i've negotiated at vladivostok with mr. brezhnev a limitation on the mirving of their ballistic missiles at a figure of 1320, which is the first time that any president has achieved a cap eit

not for everyday use, i tell about a colleague of mine whose father had come to america from eastern europe when he was a young adult. maybe i think maybe 20 or so. my colleague argued that her father's success was unrelated to america's treatment of its black citizens. neither he nor his family members were in america during slavery times, he says, nor in jim crow times nor during the civil rights movement. then i reminded my friend of how her father managed to accumulate close to a million dollars for his children. you see two decades ago my friend's father, and my ex, were both looking to purchase a house to in only island with a view of the water mitchell ex was shown a house on along beach road. beach was the operative word. that the realtor used to persuade my ex. the realtor did not add, the long part that there was a long way to the beach. but he took my friend to a canal to a house on a canal. my friend's father could not afford beach but he took him to a house that faced the canal. both my ex and my friend's father paid $34,000 for this houses. long, long time ago. they sold their

as secretary of state, she worked to strengthen our cooperation with nato and eastern europe. putin accused hillary clinton of helping democratic opposition movements within russia, and now hillary has a plan to support our allies, to weaken the kremlin and to advance america's long-standing commitment to a europe that is free, whole and at peace. because a strong european partner is always an american interest. we have hundreds of thousands of americans who live in europe. hundreds of thousands or millions who visit europe, and tens of thousands of american troops who are deployed to europe. a strong europe is in america's interest. that's not what donald trump wants. so maybe it's no surprise why russia seems to be backing trump in this election, but the better question is why trump seems to support russian interests at the expense of american ones. here's what we know. just the evidence. one of donald trump's sons said, quote, russians make up a pretty disproportionate part of the trump organization's assets and, quote, we see a lot of money pouring in from russia, closed qu

i led a delegation to eastern oourp europe and was really struck at how broad it has been across europe. open and covert operations to enter gear elections and civil society and political activity all across eastern, central, and western europe. their goal is to divide the united states and europe, to undermine nato. given the earlier hacks into the dnc that have been connected to russian hackers, i do think we should take this very seriously. >> has enough been done to make these elections safe in the united states? >> i don't think so. elections are controlled very much at the local level. we have invested in modernizing our elections systems over the last decade but there are still some serious problems in terms of the operations at the state and county level. so i frankly think we should be paying close attention to this. particularly given that vladimir putin has demonstrated an affection for one candidate over the other and given the very troubling signals that have been sent by donald trump to oural 90s eastern europe but how he views putin and the importance of our nato alliance

>> there is no soviet domination of eastern europe. >> there you go again. >> but can you get things done? and i believe i can. >> john, ten days ago you said it. >> were you afraid i couldn't hear him? >> i went to women's groups and said could you help us find folks and they brought us binders full of women. >> good day, everyone. i'm andrea mitchell on the campus of hofstra university with the first debate of the most contentious presidential election in modern history. we are nine hours away from the big event. new polls today showing a tightening race. donald trump having all the momentum. in the bloomberg politics poll hillary clinton and trump are tied 46% each. a new cnn orc poll has donald trump up by one in colorado where clinton once had a double digit lead. clinton is barely ahead in pennsylvania, a state that her campaign considers their firewall against a trump electoral victory. joining me now we have binders full of women. two of the road warriors, katy tur who covers the trump campaign and kristen welker, my partner covering the clip ton campaign. also from washingto

the organization ising now taking steps to combat perceived russian aggression in eastern europe. by three other nato nations plan to strategically place military assets in the region as a deterrent to any threats to the alliance. moscow has called it a dangerous build-up, focused on deterring a nonexistent threat. earlier this year scott thuman traveled to estonia, one of the areas where nato troops will be stationed to observe an exercise involving u.s. troops. [gunfire] military exercise, nor is the setting. a remote section of woods in tapa, estonia. some 75 miles from the russian border. it is where these 170 u.s. soldiers as the saying goes, are hoping for the best but preparing for the worst. by straining with live rounds, putting high tech stryker vehicles through the paces, and shattering the otherwise silent with the deafening sounds of detonating ieds. captain jovan dear lip is the iron troop commander. >> i think there are conditions out there that have prompted our response. and the decision-makers within washington, within the pentagon have deemed it appropriate that

just the administration but the soviet era and she has lived in many places across western and eastern europe doing during the tough times in the 1990's and before even. and then last about not least we have an our colleague who is a research study. she has been spending a lot of time in ukraine. she is a peace core volunteer there. she has done a lot of research on mr. putin himself as a personality and political leader. hannah, starting with you. you have done a great deal of work on this. ... >> anti- extremism and antiterrorism, can we go down to civil society. another form of free expression. my question to you, is this recent by the russian federation that extreme in the russian contacts? is it just another incremental set of laws that really goes in line with what we have been seen and we unfortunately expect from the kremlin today? >> first my thanks to you and to the u.s. commission on international freedom for convening the seminar today. it is very nice to see that these issues are actually being done here in washington. i think over the last couple of years of the events that have

resurgent russia is a russia that's a threat to it's neighbors in eastern europe.hat's why nato has strengthened it's defenses and it's posture in eastern europe. resurgent russia is a russia that's more active in the middle east. it's bombing, it's aiding and abetting bashar al assad in syria. it's helping to rejen the bedevilling europe. resurgent russia is active with china and working on various military cooperation activities with china. as part of their shanghai cooperation council. so this is resurgent russia, not a cold war, but a challenge to the existing way that power is distributed around the world and the way that problems get resolved in international affairs. >> so general, earlier in the show we spoke with mike flynn who you know and we spoke a little bit about this new open letter from 88 generals, admirals, military leaders, coming out now, you see it up there in support of donald trump, the gop nominee, obviously, what does this tell you about where lint military community? what does she need to do to win that same kind of support? >> well, it do

but then -- >> in some countries of central and eastern europe there was a fear and an anger about howittle they had been consulted before she decided to open the borders and let immigrants and refugees in. reporter: merkel called for solidarity, and for the refugees to be fairly distributed across europe. countries like hungary refused. prime minister viktor orbÁn prepared for a fully-fledged power struggle. the germans tried forcing the issue by d demanding a vote in a dramatic meeting of interior ministers in brussels. a majority ended up deciding in favor of limited refugee quotas, but this did not change the situation on the ground. most migrants continued to get stuck in greek camps. >> heads of state, ministers come here, decide, this is what we're going to do. and then they go home and it's actually not happening and i think that's a huge issue for the european union. we have to do what we decide together otherwise the whole credibility and the stability and power of the construction is gone. reporter: which is exactly what happened. a number of countries started to rebel again

. >>> there is no soviet domination of eastern europe and there never will be under a ford administration governor reagan, again, typically, is against such a proposal. >> governor. there you go again. >> prescription drugs and social security. it's just not my vision. i believe we ought to give seniors more options. the old-style washington politics. the difference in our plans is i want that 2000 to go to you. >> you said in the rose garden the day after the attack it was an act of terror. it was not a spontaneous demonstration. is that what you're saying? >> please proceed, governor. >> 1980 presidential debate between jimmy carter and ronald reagan. you saw at the top of the clip, the current record-holder in terms of tv viewership. drew an audience of 80 million viewers. tomorrow night's debate has predictions between 80 million viewers. >> it's remarkable that this particular event has lost none of its import. this may be this most watched presidential debate of all time. joining us presidential historian michael beschloss. >> hi, chris. mr. hayes. >> how did we get here to begin wi

, threatened all the other nato allies in eastern europe who look to nato, look to the united statesor protection and leadership. and he thinks a guy like that is great but doesn't like the president of the united states. i mean, these are extraordinary things, and those of us in the military, we look at hillary clinton, she has detailed plans, she outlined last night the highlights of her three-point plan for isis. he says, trust my, i have a secret plan. i wrote war plans on the white house staff and know how complex it is, it involves the cia, the defense department, other intelligence agencies, homeland security, so on. these are complex things that take coordination. you don't have a secret thing you throw out on the table at the last minute. this is, at a national level, really scary to the military professionals. >> you mentioned you're supporting hillary clinton. i want to ask you about the questions she was asked last night about the e-mail. let me just play a clip of that first. >> most of the government systems are way behind the curve. we've had hacking repeatedly, even i

but then -- >> in some countries of central and eastern europe there was a fear and an anger about howittle they had been consulted before she decided to open the borders and let immigrants and refugees in. reporter: merkel called for solidarity, and for the refugees to be fairly distributed across europe. countries like hungary refused. prime minister viktor orbÁn prepared for a fully-fledged power struggle. the germans tried forcing the issue by demanding a vote in a dramatic meeting of interior ministers in brussels. a majority ended up deciding in favor of limited refugee quotas, but this did not change the situation on the ground. most migrants continued to get stuck in greek camps. >> heads of state, ministers come here, decide, this is what we're going to do. and then they go home and it's actually not happening and i think that's a huge issue for the european union. we have to do what we decide together otherwise the whole credibility and the stability and power of the construction is gone. reporter: which is exactly what happened. a number of countries started to rebel against

which would give all of eastern europe a russian back yard like we saw in the post stalinist era in worldi. this is dangerous talk. the united states has stood at the point of nato, and the stability of the european union for 70 or more years, certainly in the point of nato. but vladimir putin would get everything on the russian checklist done if his ally, donald trump were to be elected president. >> getting back to the hacking front, the "washington post" reports congressman adam hiv is of the intelligence -- schiff of the committee thinks we should think about the intelligence in russia. given what you know about the intelligence and global community, would the sanctions work? >> sanctions have been working with russia. russia's not doing very well economically in this period. so we know that anything that can take away from their economic standing is going to actually make vladimir putin think a little more. you have to understand putin is a person that deals from positions of strength. even whether he has it or not. so he is going to probably ante up each if we don't -- even if we do
