he remembers when trump's father fred tried to rescue his son by buying $3 million in chips. >> fred that value in chips and took the chips out of the casino. you could call it a $3 million loan. >> the problem was the loan was against the rules and the casino was fined. even worse, it was nowhere near enough. in july 1991, under crushing debt, the taj mahal filed for chapter 11 bankruptcy. stiffing investors and forcing small businesses to accept pennies on the dollar for their work. >> when he filed the bankruptcy proceeding, hundreds and hundreds of companies, individuals and companies that were punished because they chose to do business with donald trump. a lot of suppliers, a lot of manufacturers, a lot of workers a lot of small businesses got hurt badly. >> by march 1992, trump's castle and trump plaza followed suit. >> the reason trump's casinos failed in atlantic city have nothing to do with the nature of the industry in atlantic city, with respect to the recession. all of the other properties in atlantic city made it through all of that. trump's properties did not because of

fred trump is a really nice man. he has a 10-year-old son who could not be chastised, who could not be encouraged leave the grown-ups to their talk. what a brat. [laughter] okay, so we know how dangerous, too dangerous, to contemplate a trump presidency would be. why on earth don't the media people give her a pass? whenever something happens, is evened out. lately, i read "the new york times" every day. i don't read the journal and i don't read the post but it is in the times. a coupl if there are a couple of columns by brooks but a couple of really good columns, couple of good columns, even my good friend doi "msnbc" rachel macdowell was kind of snide about her until very recently. i want to try to understand the stakes are so high. what would be wrong with havingw a hillary bandwagon in the next 10 days? certainly there is a trump bandwagon. >> you are conflating all of the media into one. when you talk about television personalities, and we talk about serious reporters they are completely different entities so you

reporter: and then with a loan from dad, donald trump struck out on his own. >> i think the rules that fred trump taught trump taught his son donald began with, you must be a he plays hard and wants to win. and if that means setting the rules himself, he'll set the rules himself and then try to get everyone else to play by them. >> reporter: those rules would have devastating consequences for donald's brother fred jr. he drank heavily and died of heart failure at the age of 43. >> i think fred would have been very happy if he didn't have to compete. he had to compete because of the environment, he had to compete and it ultimately ended up destroying him and it was very sad, very sad. and ultimately it was alcohol th j i've never has a drink in my life. >> reporter: younger brother robert who worked for donald later in life learned what older brother donald was like at an early age. >> robert had a set of blocks and i had a set of blocks and i asked robert if i could have his blocks and i built a beautiful tall block building and then i said i like it so much that i glued it together and then robe

, and he came back and he reported, fred trump is really nice man, he has a ten-year-old son who could not be chas chastised who could not be encourages to leave the grownups to their talk. what a brad. -- what a brat. okay. so we know how dangerous, too dangerous to contemplate a trump presidency would be. why on earth don't the media people give her a pass? whenever something happens it's evened out. lately, late -- i read "the new york times" every day. in the "times," a couple of columns by brooks who was against her but a couple of really good columns, couple of good columns by krugman, even my good friend on msnbc, rachel mad are maddow was kind of snide about her until very recently. i want to try to understand the stakes are so high. what would be wrong with having a hillary band wagon in the next ten days? >> all right. >> certainly there's a trump band wagon. >> great question. >> you're conflating all of the media into one. when you talk about communists and television percentages and talk about serious reporters, there are three completely different entities. so you should

his father fred was a millionaire real estate developer. the trump patriarch has been described as a human machine. driven. >> his father was, you know, he was a demanding guy, and he did very much push donald. donald is some ways was the chosen son. >> reporter: that ambition was was unmistakably prevalent in >> donald, i think, was more than a troublemaker. he was a profound brat. he has said that he punched his teachers when he didn't like what he was being told to do. >> reporter: in need of discipline young donald was shipped off to new york military academy. >> once he came under the control of the staff at the school, he wanted to excel. he had to be first at everything, even if it was just first inline in the cafeteria. >> reporter: just last year trump told abc's barbara walters about his dreams at that time in his life. >> what was your fantasy when you were very young? >> to be a baseball player. i was a great baseball player. >> what position? >> first base. catcher, first base. but in those days you got paid $2, right? >> and that's not

had not been fred trump and not done what he had done in queens brook brooklyn middle-class home it is no way donald trump would have gotten the years of some of the people he was able to talk to start some of those early deals. >> but at the same time he distances himself from his father quite -- graphically in this book. >> for good reason. i mean, this is a -- we've seen this in the campaign. i am a self-made man and this is not the campaign thing. this has been something he's sorts of overprotested in my opinion throughout his public life. down playing a role that his father had -- specifically, politically and financially with especially his early success. that he could not have the started doing some of the work he did on the grand hyatt and even into sort of the early portions of the putting together of the partial for trump tower it could have been much, much harder wot his father's influence and his father's exceptionally important. including with money. ... is most of it tied up in brooklyn and queens. is that accurate? is that a full statement? >> i haven't researched tha

my sweet stepfather, very sweet, kind man, agreed and went to queens and spent a day with fred trump and came back and reported fred trump is a really nice man, he has a 10-year-old son could not be chastised, who could not be encouraged to leave the grown-ups to their thoughts. what a brat. okay. so we know how dangerous, too dangerous to contemplate, a trump presidency would be. why on earth don't the media people give her a pass? whenever something happens, it is evened out, lately. i read the new york times, this journal and don't read the post. it is in the times. a couple columns by brooks, a couple columns, a couple good columns by krugman, even my good friend on msnbc, rachel maddow was kind of snide about her until very recently. i want to try to understand the stakes are so high, what the wrong with having a hillary bandwagon in the next we 10 days? there is a trump bandwagon. >> you are conflating all the media into one. when you talk about columnists, when you talk about serious reporters there three different entities, you should not say the media. it is not the job repo

. >> the message that the trump boys got from fred trump sr. was you are killer and you are a king. >> do you think he cares too much about legacy? >> no thing. legacy is a big thing. he built an unbelievable brand. he is the smartest guy i know. he is incredible. toughest negotiator and incredible spine and you need that feel >> there may be a donald trump we have not seen one other than the tough talking caustic candidate. >> i detected one thing in the time that i spent with donald that surprised me and it was a he really doesn't have a sense that he's gotten what he feels he difference. and this is probably the reason for his constant striving and for the sense that there's never enough for him. >> in the end the quality that has brought candidate trump to the eve of the election might well be his secret weapon. >> he's done it by being human, by speaking out politicians but seeking as a civilian, as a person. >> eric trump summed it up by saying plenty of team have underestimated his father over the years and have been wrong more often tha

the fbi records vault twitter handle also posted something about donald trump's father fred. >> reporterright. if you look at the twitter account from the fbi vault account it was dormant for a year and then the first tweet was right here over the weekend about fred trump. donald trump's father, an investigation into him several years ago, when the fbi looked into campaign donations and a hint of concern about organized crime. it didn't go anywhere. it's odd, jake, that after a year of not posting anything this would come up and then today we have these documents from the 2001 investigation, again, waiting to hear from the fbi about an explanation as to why all of this is. >> pamela brown, thank you so much. >>> he is cutting into trump's lead in the state of utah. now independent presidential candidate evan mcmullin is being targeted by white supremacist robo calls accusing him of being gay. he'll join me next with his reaction. >>> a look at the specialized military unit protecting our election from hackers. stay with us. remember when you said that men are superior drivers? yeah... ye

is the trump campaign confident they might be able to pull that off there? >> reporter: well, fred, i talked to trump's communication director in north carolina. as of this morning, they are feeling cautiously optimistic about their chances in this state. he pointed to early vote numbers that leads them to believe they are on the right track. but, certainly events like this, the last day of early, in-person voting here in north carolina are so essential for the trump campaign, making sure all these people at the campaign event, these supporters go and cast their ballots for donald trump. they hope, certainly, this final last weekend of campaigning, so essential. we are seeing donald trump having a flurry of campaign active any north carolina and earlier today in florida. after this, on board to nevada and colorado. earlier today, at his campaign event in tampa, he took issue with hillary clinton's star studded event with jay-z and beyonce. taking issue with the language in the lyrics. here is what he had to say. >> he used every word in the book last night. by the way, in hershey,

imimmigration, the kind th fred trump was protesting the day he got arrested that clan rally. sn't look like a donald trump rally. it looks like america, the real america. the america that includes all of us, the america that doesn't try to keep us in categories determined by bigotry. black guys counting my money, i hate it, the only kind of people i want counting my money are little short guys that wear yamakules every day, that's what he said when he saw a black accountant working at one of his casinos. he managed to be racist and anti-semitic at the same time. his former accountant confirmed for us on this program that was the kind of thing that donald trump would say. that is the kind of thinking that is on the ballot tomorrow in the name of donald j. trump. america has defeated that kind of thinking before, and it will again tomorrow. chuck schumer is up for re-election to the senate tomorrow. he won re-election six years ago with 66% of the vote. he should get at least that much this time. democrats have already decided that chuck schumhuchumer will b next democratic lead

>> fred trump was a machine. i mean, he was a human machine. e was driven beyond whatever the description of driven could ever mean. and when you look at the picture of fred and you look at donald, you see the great resemblance between the two. and when you think about fred's energy, you see how it is channeled through donald. >> narrator: fred was seen as passionate about the business, but not warm with his children. >> cold-- he was not a warm person. i see his father at the beach, even, with a suit and a tie and a hat, a clipped very kind of military mustache, and simply being... correct. >> narrator: fred had theories. he shared them with his kids. donald especially liked one of them. >> this is a very deep part of the trump story. the family subscribes to a racehorse theory of human development. they believe that there are superior people, and that if you put together the genes of a superior woman and a superior man, you get a superior offspring. >> narrator: fred's other theory: life was a competition. there were winners and there were los

trump? >> yeah, i think, fred, what we learned on this campaign is that donald trump, as his advisers like to say, trump's going to be trump, and you can only do so much. but priebus was really credited with help to kind of smooth some of those rough edges off donald trump and make him a more disciplined campaigner and that you saw that start to happen at the end of the campaign, particularly when the hillary clinton e-mail scandal reappeared and reignited. donald trump became much more focused, much more disciplined, and he allowed that fire to burn on the clinton camp. oftentimes during that campaign, he had stepped out and stepped on something. what comes to mind is when hillary clinton testified at the fbi. you know, that was a huge story republicans jumped all over, but donald trump then made those comments about judge curiel, who is the judge on his trump university, saying that because he was of mexican heritage, he might not be the right judge for that case, and that totally blanketed the news coverage. and reince priebus was able in that second go-round, when the e-mail stuff came to

the fbi has also released an tweeted out a file on donald trump's boer fred trump on october 30. in more campaign news,s, "new yk times" investigation shows african-american vote is down compared to 2012. analysis of early voting in florida shows turnout is lower than the state average in the five counties with the highest percentage of african-american voters. the analysis did show the voting is up from 2012 among latino voters. the iraqi military says u.s.-backed iraqi special forces have entered the city limits of mosul as part of its campaign to retake control of the city from isis. the united states is backing the iraqi army with both u.s. special forces on the ground, as well as u.s. airstrikes. on tuesday, the iraqi military says it has taken control of mosul's television station. mosul troops entered the tv station, which is very significant. it means the city of mosul. this is good news for the city of mosul. amy: the united nations is warning as many as 1 millilion civilians could be displaced amid the fighting for control of mosul, leading to what could become the larg

a defense he only had some much to do with my success and it was tied up in buildings built by fred trump to say and as a defense for his self-made persona is rich. >> obviously he learned from his father from everything that he did for ultimately what he did it he learned a lot from his dad. matter the amount. he did learn a lot. >> but personally he say my father is the man he most influences me but he does not want to give him credit and a family sense but does not in the professional sense and in the book and on the campaign he has talked about you'll never make it. stick to queens and brooklyn but i want to think big sell he said just my dad taught me so much but even he did not see what was possible. >> the book is dedicated to his parents not to his children. >> but there was the ton of money to be made in the 20th-century with the government subsidies so he to advantage of that sum by the time that donald came around so what you do but go to manhattan to take a vantage of the dead economy in the middle '70s. that is the aspect of luck and timing in addition to scale. there is unde

trump had during this campaign to be understated. they want to spread love and not hate. they want the country to hear their voices, fred. >> bryn gingras, thank you. they're walking several blocks to the trump tower, where it culminates there. >>> meantime, 3,000 or so miles away, kim law is there, how long has their journey been. what's their final destination? >> reporter: the final destination is a federal building, about a mile away from where i'm standing right now. we stopped you so you can get an overview of what we're looking t at. i have no idea how many people are here, but this is a thinner section of the line. i want you to look all the way down. this is one corner of it. we haven't seen the beginning of the line. we haven't seen the end of t what i can tell you is that this march, and it has been overwhelmingly peaceful, has been completely shutting down all of downtown los angeles. they have from what we can tell, walked at least a mile. there is still another mile left to go. and you can just tell from the people that we're looking at here and i'm going to step out of the shot, this goes on and on and on

trump tower. we are going to stick with this. so far, a peaceful protest, fred? then, brynn, describe, once the protesters get to outside trump tower, we have seen they are concentrated police force there with the dump trucks, et cetera. describe what people are met with once they get to trump tower. >> reporter: well, fred, it's really an organized protest as far as the police are concerned as well. they funnel the protesters into a pen. maybe a block and a half or so from trump tower. but, again, i'm not quite sure what we can expect today. this is an enormous, enormous crowd. they gathered for about 45 minutes. you saw me an hour ago. that was like 50 people. now, we are well, well into several thousand people. i want to make a pounlt. the person that organized this protest, a 20-year-old student from st. john university here in new york and he actually received several times shaking hands with police officers, talking about what direction they want to go in, how can they go about it peacefully. it is the most organized protest i have seen happen here in new y

fred. i think trump's choice of policy will be very critical in defining his administration. >> fred, what are the three biggest threats to donald trump's legislative agenda? >> the three biggest threats to his -- well, i would have to -- >> how about donald trump? >> that's actually where i was going. i was stumbling my way through it. and maybe steve bannon, to some extent, although i think reince priebus was a brilliant choice, and everybody -- there's nobody that doesn't like rines. even bob, probably, likes rines. and he will be able to kind of smooth all these people together. you know, long ago, i suggested that the first -- i think you asked me, mark, years ago, on a show, what's the first thing that barack obama should do when he's elected? and i said, he should buy a six-pack of beer and duitch the secret service and show up at mitch mcconnell's door and say, let's have a beer and figure out how to make this country work together. if donald trump can do that, i think he's the in great shape. i think his biggest threat is if he falls back, and it's very easy to do. if he falls bac

government sued donald trump and his father fred trump for race bias in 1973. and roy cohn advised donald trump when you're hit, hit back ten times harder or a hundred times harder and that, you know, is the root of his personality. they actually settled that case eventually. but time and time again we see a lot of lawsuits, and he has, you know, indeed that philosophy, hit himself. and that case gave him an animus towards the federal government. >> he settled the case only after dragging it out and attacking viciously the prosecutors through roy cohn x. that's an aspect that he's more than a screamer, he is very open about wanting to punish people who -- he often uses the phrase viciously attack me. and, you know, a lot of politicians want payback can come now or later, so he fits into that mold. >> and it's worth noting that a lot of americans find this appealing. again, i think that there's a lot of people who think this guy, when he's hit, says he's going to hit ten times harder, and that's what he's going to do out there. they like his, you know, confidence

of the world, not assume the worst about his successor, but to give trump -- to give a trump presidency a chance. fredena jones in lima, peru, thank you so much. >>> hard liners. it is a word some have used to describe the men chosen to lead donald trump's foreign policy team. well, we could soon be hearing a new name added to the list. our expert panel discusses next. >>> welcome back. we continue to give you pictures of people coming and going there in new jersey at donald trump's golf course there. this is the latest person to arrive, bob johnson, who is the founder of b.e.t. also the first african-american billionaire. he is arriving there. at any moment, usually, donald trump comes out, greets the person who has just arrived, and then they go in and meet and chat. this time, we're seeing it happen a little differently. there we go. the two meeting right there. unclear whether bob johnson is under consideration for a particular position or if donald trump surrounds himself by meet he wants advise from. a photo opportunity right there before the two go behind closed doors and meet. president-elect

but lots of shake up inside the trump world, and all of washington, fred, watching this parlor game, to try to see who's making these decisions and who's going to eventually be in this trump administration, fred? >> all right, chris frates, thank you so much, from new york. we'll check back with you. all right, so, is president-elect trump backing away now from the signature issues that carried him to victory, since his win, we have heard very little about several cornerstones of his campaign, including repealing obamacare, building a wall, a ban on muslims and prosecuting hillary clinton. things that you heard him promise on the campaign trail. and now, of course, you heard in that 60 minutes interview, he did talk about repealing obamacare, although, we also heard language that really emphasized a change, modifications of the affordable existing health care plan. let's talk more about all of this with cnn political commentator, ryan lizza, here with me in washington, and director for the university of center for politics, larry sabato. good to see both of you gentleman. ryan, you fi

trump is about to speak at the rally, once he arrives there. sunlen is in wilmington, north carolina, sunlen. >> reporter: fred, the trump campaign is not leaving this state unattended. tomorrow night, pence will return on monday. donald trump returning again there looking at the same path to 270 electoral votes needed and understand that north carolina is a must win for them in addition to other three battleground states. if you look at the cnn poll of polls x you can see how close it is. hillary clinton has 46 to trump's 42. that's why these events like today are so essential to the trump campaign. they want to make sure all these supporters here at rallies like this are translating into real votes at the ballot box today being the last day of instate voting in north carolina. trump will be landing momentarily at this tarmac and holding a rally with the plane behind him. the trump campaign sending in extra reserves today. melania trump will introduce her husband. this was a last minute change in the schedule. this is a role we don't typically see her play on the campaign trail. certainly in the final stretch, looking to boost momentum at the

donald john trump, son of fred and mary trump born june 14th, 1946, in queens, new york. as a real estate developer specializing in middle income apartments. young donald grew up around building sites and construction workers. but he had a rebellious streak and fred was a no-nonsense father. he sent his son to a military school. the new york military academy. >> my father raised in a military school and said it's the best thing that ever happened to him. gave him a lot of discipline. >> i think that's donald there. see, he's the biggest guy. >> ted went to school with trump. they became friends, perhaps the first time trump connected with one of the little people. >> he did protect me a lot from bullies. when he said don't go near me, they didn't. >> even back then, the young trump was a mighty competitor. >> a great athlete. anything he wanted to do, he could be the first. far exceeded what the rest of the group was like as far as his talent. >> trump followed his father into real estate. in 1971, he was given full control of the family company. which he renamed the trump

positive pieces about fred trump. you have the comey unprecedented discussion of an ongoing case. what could be the legal outcome here for these agents, if they're outed for having leaked for rudy giuliani, if he's coordinating with them? could there be legal implications? >> well, yes. this is clearly a violation of the hatch act, which prohibits using official position over a partisan political purposes, and there may have been a leak of classified information. i'm not sure about that. but for those of us who believe in individual liberty a limited government, this has been a hard year. and we've had to hear from donald trump and his supporters over and over again comments about mexicans, muslims, others an infringement on individual liberty, and now, finally, we see the fbi trying to sway an election. this is very dangerous in a democratic system, and i think the resolution of this is going to have to be on tuesday. the american people simply have to say no to these attacks and individual liberty. there has been an abuse of power by the fbi. lots of talk about abuse of power by

the editor of "the weekly standard," fred barnes, not exactly one of trump's biggest fans, but, you know, yeah, i think you've been coming around a little bit lately, fred. and he is now president-elect. he says trump hasn't split the party. he's actually strengthened it. fred barnes joins me now with along with democratic strategist, joe trippi. fred, this is the first time you and i have talked since all of this happened. you really think donald trump, perhaps, has saved the republican party now, though he was seen as the guy who was going to destroy it? >> well, he certainly at the end of the day united the republican party in the election. now, he got 90% of the republican vote according to the exit poll which seemed impossible a couple of weeks ago, but that's what you need, 90%. and, look, if it hadn't have been for trump winning in pennsylvania, senator pat toomey wouldn't have been reelected, and the same is true in missouri where trump got nearly 60%, and that reelected roy blunt. so he had coat tails, and in some of these very vulnerable house seats, it was -- some in pennsylva
