season, jake tapper is here tonight. here. you know the last time i was in washington d.c. doing a show was at the 2011 white house correspondents dinner. and at the time, donald trump was making a lot of noise about the fact that he did not think that president barack obama was born in this country. and because of that it seemed only fair that we would make some jokes about donald trump, but at least he was a really good sport about them, let's take a look. >> seth: donald trump has been saying he will run for president as a republican. joke. [ audience ohs ] [ laughter and applause ] donald trump often appears on fox which is ironic because a fox often appears on donald trump's head. [ laughter and applause ] [ cheers and applause ] donald trump said recently he has a great relationship with "the blacks." he's mistaken. [ laughter and applause ] [ cheers and applause ] >> seth: i thought it was over, and yet now here we are five years later! five years later we're back in dc, and donald trump is still the story.

[ cheers and applause ] ? ? ? >> carson: what's up guys and gals, you're watching "last call" from skylark right here in tonight we've got a little something for everybody. including hard rock, courtesy of our friends "band of skulls." the comedies from jen d'angelo from the ice house in pasadena, california. right now it's time for mekhi phifer to talk about all things "frequency" in our last call spotlight, have a look. ? >> you're wearing sweatpants mekhi, what's going on here? >> well, you know, i learned from the best. you know, from news broadcasters, you know, you see

give it up for jake tapper, everybody. plane? do you own a bank? pat toomey owned both. but it's the fact that toomey owns a seat in the u.s. senate that should really concern us. while on the senate banking committee, pat toomey voted to rewrite rules to help bankers like him ...and he tried to eliminate protections put in place to stop wall street's risky practices. pat toomey: looking out for wall street and himself, not pennsylvania. senate majority pac is responsible for the content of this advertising. ...one of many pieces in my i havlife.hma... so when my asthma symptoms kept coming back on my long-term control medicine. i talked to my doctor and found a missing piece in my asthma treatment with breo. once-daily breo prevents asthma symptoms. breo is for adults with asthma not well controlled on a long-term asthma control medicine, like an inhaled corticosteroid. breo won't replace a rescue inhaler for sudden breathing problems. breo opens up airways to help improve breathing for a full 24 hours. breo contains a ty

the fact of the matter is, as jake tapper aptly pointed out to john podesta, none of this would have didn't make this mistake in the first place, with the private e-mail server. i would add that the wall street journal is reporting 650,000 e-mails, apparently, are on that laptop. many of which may be pertinent, not just to this e-mail probe, but also to the clinton foundation probe. >> that's the "wall street journal" reporting but cnn can't confirm the numbers. ellis, the running mates were on the sunday talk shows today. tim kaine and mike pence commented about this investigation. take a listen. >> it's just extremely puzzling. why would you break these two protocols? why would you release information that is so incomplete when you haven't even seen the material yourself 11 days before an election? >> we commend the director of the fbi and the fbi for following through on their work before the congress. if there was new, pertinent information, sufficient to reopen this investigation, they would inform congress of that fact and they would move forward. >> ellis, who is making the be

i agree with you, jake tapper, it is horrifying.o horrifying is having a print reporter telling john podesta, a hack now. here have the privilege of editorial latitude on what i'm about to publish. is there anything here that bothers you. this is not journalism. this is at its best cozy relationship collaboration all the way to collusion. it's not all members of the media. not even most. look at the stories. p.a.c. 72 is over. so unfair to the voters who are yet to go to the ballot box and exercise their constitutional right to tell us who should be president of the united states and commander-in-chief. let's let the voters tell us who they want to be president and not have all these people who don't share their economic woes, who don't share their lack ever health insurance or lack of failing schools or white knuckled decisions at the end of each month whether to afford the rent or maybe a nice birthday party for a 6-year-old kid. let's give the voters their chance to express their will and not tell them the race is over. >> i'm no

i'm jake tapper. donald trump taking the stage in gettysburg invoking lincoln's motto, government for the people, by the people and of people. before that he had some scores to settle. >> every woman lied when they came forward to hurt my campaign. total fabrication. these events never happened. all of these liars will be sudden when the election is over. >> joining me now is kellyanne conway donald trump's campaign manager. good morning. thanks for joining us. with a couple of exceptions mr. trump right now is trailing in all the battleground states. he's plummeted with white college eddated voters which is an important group for republicans to win especially with women, white college eddated voters. he was supposed to give a big speech on saturday in gettysburg talking about his first 100 days as president but his message was lost to some because he started with this 15 minute rant against the media and his accusers saying they are liars. did you know that beginning part against the media and his ac

i'm jake tapper at wash u, the site of the debate tonight in st.ouis, where the state of our union is revolting. that describes the content of the new tape from donald trump and the status of republican officeholders across the country revolting against his candidacy. gop leaders calling on their nominee to drop out just days before the election, an unprecedented move because of this vial language about how donald trump treats women. >> i better use some tic tacs in case i kiss her. when you're a star, they let you do it. you can do anything. grab them by the [ bleep ]. you can do anything. >> we are now just hours away from what could be the most critical moment of donald trump's campaign as he takes the debate stage with hillary clinton right here on cnn. her running mate, tim kaine, joined me for an exclusive interview. thanks so much for joining us, senator. appreciate it. >> absolutely. >> so let's start with this new donald trump tape that came out on friday in which he exhibits a casual attitude towards sexual assault. is hillary clinton goi

i'm jake tapper. 22 days out before the election is more strident than ever. despite the worst campaign ever, donald trump is leading clinton nationally on a not so narrow margin. we'll look at what donald trump has said about polls and what he's warning his legions of supporters for months now that it will be absolutely rigged, the claim he makes with absolutely no evidence. over the weekend, at events, on twitter, mr. trump pointedly questioning the legitimacy of the pending election, claiming it's all, quote, rigged at the polling places and, quote, large scale voter fraud being perpetrated at the ground level. across the country, and presumably in republican voting districts and states. sarah murray is with me in washington. sarah, is the trump campaign providing any evidence for these charges or is he lashing out because he suggests that he's trailing? >> trump senior adviser put this out saying, it's no secret the media has coordinated their personal attacks on mr. trump in order to rig the election on behalf of hillary clinton. now, he goes on to provid

. >> let's bring in jake tapper, host of cnn's "state of the union." ng to you. >> good morning. >> o'so let's talk about this new "washington post"/abc news poll. trump in this poll is just at the margin of error. he's four points behind hillary clinton. the margin of error is four points. but we've seen other polls that have a larger gap. what do you make of the numbers? sqult "washington post"/abc news poll generally speaking has been one that seems to believe the trump campaign argument that he is going to bring a lot more new voters to the polls than have shown up in previous republican elections and that hillary clinton still has an enthusiasm problem. so it's a more conservative model, a more -- i'm hesitant to use the term. but a more pro-trump model. and that's the model they use. and even with that model it still shows hillary clinton up. but a much tighter race than we've seen in other polls as you point out. really at this point the question is -- obviously it's a cliche in elections to say it all comes down to turnout. but that's one of the

i'm jake tapper. a big, big breaking news day. a powerful hurricane is right now barrelling towards millions here in the united states as fallout continues from the vice presidential nominees going to war on the debate stage last night. >>> major news from in the fbi. a secret arrest finally revealed today. a contractor charged with stealing top secret information from the national security agency. what is he accused of stealing and could the information have gotten into the wrong hands. evan pÉrez has the details. what do we know about this contractor and what is he accused of stealing? >> reporter: the fbi believes he stole documents detailing a sophisticated hacking tool the nsa developed to break into foreign computer systems. someone calling themselves the shadow brokers posted documenting detailing the code for sale on the internet. according to a complaint filed in federal court they found a number of documents in his home. information on thumb drives and some classified at the highest levels. he worked as a contractor for

i'm jake tapper. donald trump predicting a tremendous victory with 13 days left until america formally picks its president. mr. trump does have a path to the white house, but that path is narrow. that path is difficult. and trump would need to peel off battleground states currently seeming to be in hillary clinton's column. earlier today, trump was on pennsylvania avenue, however, cutting the ribbon on his brand-new hotel. cnn's jim acosta is in north carolina where mr. trump is set to speak in just minutes. several republican strategists are now saying trump should not have spent the morning in d.c., jim. and every single hour he spends outside a battleground state over the next 13 days is simply wasted time. >> reporter: yeah, jake. and donald trump is pushing back on the notion that he wasted critical campaign time to unofficially or, excuse me, i should say officially open up the new hotel in washington, d.c., where he also spent some time praising one of his top supporters who may have made his e

welcome to "the lead," i'm jake tapper. we'll start with breaking news, hurricane matthew a monster category 4 storm, its outer bandzs hitting florida. this hurricane picked up steam after sweeping over the caribbean, killing more than 108 people in haiti alone. now more than 26 million americans are in matthew's path, many racing from florida's east coast trying to head inland. the florida governor bluntly temming people who don't obey evacuation orders from the beach, quote, this storm will kill you. we have hurricane warnings on florida's east coast, warnings even for florida's west coast and stretching up to the carolinas. cnn has crews positioned along the way ready to show you conditions as they deteriorate. we're going to begin with cnn meteorologist jennifer gray in melbourne, florida. jennifer, the national weather service warning life threatening winds from the storm could leave parts of florida, quote, uninhabitable for weeks or months. ow how are the conditions where you are at this 0 hour? >> reporter: well, wi

trump advisor rudy giuliani tried that argument yesterday, but cnn anchor jake tapper wasn't having it. >> the reality is, this is part of our tax code. the man is a genius. he knows how to operate the tax code for the benefit of the people he served. >> well, that's interesting because mr. mayor, you say that he's a genius. donald trump said during the debate not paying federal income taxes makes his smart. does that mean the rest of us to avoid paying our fair share of taxes, does that mean the rest of us are stupid? >> no, absolutely not. anybody that goes and has an accountant -- h&r block or just goes online figures out all the deductions available to them. >> seth: okay, that's fair but nobody is going online and typing in a $1 billion loss. [ light laughter ] i'm pretty sure if you type $1 billion loss into turbo tax it just auto completes donald trump's information. [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] but tapper, jake tapper to his credit kept hammering away. >> let me ask you, sir, he's selling himself as a brilliant business man. he lost almost a billion dollars in 1995. >>

or should i say awe, tap. [ light laughter ] check out more of jake tapper's political burns on cnn's new late night show, tapped out. [ laughter ] here's why this latest revelation is damning. first of all there's the fact that trump has consistently sold himself as a brilliant business man who could use those skills to fix the economy. but the people who invested in trump's companies might not agree, because while trump made roughly $45 million between 1995 and 2009 when he was chairman or chief executive of investors saw the value of their shares plunge to 17 cents from $35.50. normally to get that screwed, you have to actually go into the casino. [ laughter ] and at least then, then they have the decency to give you free drinks. [ light laughter ] so trump's investors lost more than 90% of their money in a year when the stock market went up. they would have done better if they just picked stocks at random or as billionaire warren buffet put it -- company, if a monkey had thrown a dart at the stock page, the monkey on average would have made 150%. >> seth: of course as soon as he s

i am jake tapper. the election is three weeks away. tomorrow night is likely the last time we'll see hillary clinton and donald trump on stage together. as they meet for the third and final debate. the highly anticipated faceoff comes as donald trump is lashing out at the clintons, at the republican party, at the media and at the women accusing him of, at the very least, inappropriate contact. as he steps us his warnings of the election being rigged against him. raising concerns about what may happen after the polls close. jim acosta is live for us traveling with the trump campaign in colorado springs. jim, mr. trump announced a new plan that he says will drain the washington swamp. >> reporter: that's right, jake. donald trump has -- has drained the swamp. he proposed concessional term limits at a rally here in colorado springs. here is what he had to say. >> congressional term limits has finally arrived. not only will it end our government corruption, but we will end the economic stagnation that we're in right now. no growth. >> repo

i'm jake tapper. breaking this afternoon in our politics lead, donald trump is in sanford, florida, right now launching a sustained attack on president obama's signature health care law. jim acosta is there. jim, assailing obamacare, not new grist entirely for trump, but normally he doesn't focus as much on the health care law as he has been doing today. >> reporter: that's right, jake. donald trump is seizing on this latest report on obamacare that premiums will be going up 22% next year for consumers as sort of a late campaign season gift. earlier in his remarks a few moments ago trump said that these reports that the premiums going up 22% are just the beginning. they'll be going up, he said, 60, 70, 80, 90 percent. he said consumers will need to be good negotiators themselves to figure out how to pay for their health insurance. back in 2009, 2010, as president obama was pursuing health care reform, republicans latched onto the unpopularity of the issue and rode a wave into congress and took control

we don't necessarily think of jake tapper as the bastion of conservatism in the media. clinton staffer called hick a dick durbin. >> the democrats have a strong dislike for jake tapper. kennedy: bill richardson was also on the media list. >> i would never want my emails to be out there and i feel uncomfortable talking about people's private information that was leaked. i think for trump people relishing this and they want so much for the media to focus on these wikileaks things, if the shoe were on the other foot i know it would be different. i'm not for hypocrisy. the funniest thing in the wikileaks thing was where they thought hillary clinton's private email server would and story that on lasted the weekend. kennedy: coming up. the unholy ahine alliance we ald from. if clinton wins the white house will she make an ally out of paul ryan? this man creates software, used by this bank, to protect this customer, who lives here and flies to hong kong, to visit this company that makes smart phones, used by this vice president, this little kid, oops, and this obstetrician, wh

. >>> hello i'm jake tapper in washington, d.c. where the state of the union is taxed. "new york times" revealed 1995 tax returns revealing $916 million loss from failed business projects. the law would allow him to offset those losses for as long as 18 years. did donald trump pay any federal income taxes? his campaign's response, quote, mr. trump is a highly-skilled businessman who has a fiduciary spotlight to his business, his family and his employees to pay no more tax than legally required. that being said, mr. trump has paid hundreds of millions of dollars in property taxes, state taxes, real estate taxes, city tax, state tax, employee taxes and federal tax. it doesn't dispute the authenticity of the "times" document but said it was illegally obtain. joining me now is form are presidential candidate and former senator of vermont, bernie sanders. senator sanders, let me get your reaction about this news of donald trump and not paying federal income taxes. some trump supporters would argue why should he pay any more taxes than the law requires him to. what do you thi

this morning hillary clinton ease campaign manager was on cnn with jake tapper. they talked about the campaign inciting violence. he explained their decision to go after typically red states. >> they are called that for a reason. they're all going to be incredibly close. we didn't want to get ahead or our skis here. there's a special opportunity that popped up late. his shameful remark about senator john mccain and pows has put that state into play. it's possible to win it but it's going to be razor thin there. it's an uphill climb and we've got to stay focused on these other states. >> what about turn out for african-americans in north carolina. >> the voter -- more voters in our history to turn out and participate in this election. north carolina has only been voting for a few days. i think we still need to let the data come in. we should assume there's a mountain of work left to be done there. we got to stay focused. >> an e-mail that was hacked by wiek leeks. there's the substance of this e-mail. the contribution was a non-starter if they did not get a meetin

he said this is very, very upsetting. >> i love cnn. >> this is jake tapper. my understand is thatting the e-mails came from roland martin and said this is very upsetting and troubling. that is your old colleague at cnn not megyn kelly. who gave you that question? >> megyn, i'll say it on the record. i'm not going to try to validate falsified information. i have my documents. i have my files. thank god i have not had my personal e-mails ripped off from me and stolen and given to some criminals to come back altered. i have my records and files. and as i said repeatedly, cnn, i never received anything. if i had a blank paper that would be the end of this conversation. i never get documents from cnn. >> your e-mail said sometimes, you receive the questions in advance. cnn is saying roland martin gave them to you. and they were provided to hillary before that town hall. >> well, anybody who knows me and there are a number of your colleagues know me very well. i know how i play it. i know what i do before every debate and every show. until i do my home work, i comm

jake tapper is going to find out when he jones him on his show.ning, jake. >> reporter: good morning. >> what do you think he's going to say? >> reporter: i think it's going to be an aggressive case against fbi director comey about how his decision to write this letter splits from precedence and splits from legal advice from the department of justice. there's an op ed in today's washington post in which both a former democrat and a former republican official of the justice department condemn the decision by comey to do this, so i expect john podesta will be making a very aggressive case against him. we'll also have kellyanne conway on from the trump campaign to talk about what she thinks this might mean for their campaign in the closing nine days. >> jake tapper. we appreciate you being here. thank you. look forward to watching the show later this morning. >> reporter: thank you. >> you're welcome. >>> all righty. and game five? >> you're ready, i know. >> the world series set for tonight in really one of my favorite cities, chicago. >> >>s hoot h

i'm jake tapper. breaking this hour, our brand new cnn poll finds a much tighter race than other regional and national polls. beth trump and clinton's campaign saying it's volatile this year. truly anything can happen. let's go to national correspondent john king over at the magic wall. john, trump and clinton's campaign admitted they are behind. where are they in our new poll breaking this minute? >> a poll yesterday showing a clinton lead. this 5-point lead in our brand new poll should be encouraginen. 49% for secretary clinton, 44% for donald trump. interesting here, the third party candidates, especially gary johnson, dropping since our last poll. he's down to 3%, jill stein at 2%. not in the debates, getting close to election day, a lot of voters shifting back to the major party candidates. 5% hillary clinton. what's behind it? this is a bit troubling for trump. even though this is closer than the other national polls, hillary clinton pretty close among men. donald trump leading 48 to 45, but tha

catch jake tapper on "state of the union" 9:00 a.m.tern right here on cnn. > >>> two weeks until election day which means just two weeks left of snl skewing each candidate before one of them becomes president. >> the final presidential debate provided plenty of memorial for the show's latest sketch. watch this. >> let's talk immigration. mr. trump why are your immigration policies better than secretary clinton. >> because she wants open borders and that's crazy. people are just pouring in to this country from mexico and a lot of them are very bad ombres. >> bing jobs bingo. i have bad omb res, miss piggy. >> they just take it there. thank you very much for sharing your bhoins. >> "inside politics" with john king starts right now.morning w. >> "inside politics" with john king starts right now. >>> donald trump vows a no rest sprint to election day. >> win, lose or draw i will be happy with myself. >> 16 days out and the map heavily favors hillary clinton. >> i am excited because we are well on our way. >> plus the obamas lead a critical

here's what rudy giuliani, a senior adviser, told jake tapper on "state of the union". >> the realityost americans take advantage of every deduction available to them. >> most americans pay federal income taxes, sir. >> just a little bit over, most americans pay -- >> majority of the american people pay federal income taxes. >> and very large businesses very often take advantage of these kinds of losses. >> do you -- you're a successful businessman, do you pay federal income taxes? >> that's between me and the accountant and irs and the reality is, i pay my lawful tax. he paid his lawful tax. >> let me ask you another question, donald trump -- >> jake, no, jake, wait a second. this is really very unfair. if he didn't take advantage of those tax deductions or tax advantages that he had, he could be sued because he is -- his obligation as a businessman is to make money for his enterprise. and to save money for his enterprise. it would have been -- it would have been insane -- >> sued by whom? who would sue him for his own personal income taxes? >> investors in his business, people who l

cnn's jake tapper spoke with clinton campaign manager john podesta on "state of the union". >> do you accept the premise that the reason we're here that hillary clinton and her inner circle, not including you, made a horrible decision to set up her private e-mail server and everything that's happened since then is her fault? >> look, i think she's apologized for setting up a private e-mail server, said it was a mistake and she wouldn't do it over again. it's very clear that this has been an issue through the course of this campaign. i think she obviously would like to take that decision back. but she's learned from it. and i think what's important about this campaign at this stage, with nine days to go, is who is fit to be president, who has the experience and the question of whether donald trump is too dangerous, too tempermently unfit to be president of the united states. so that's what we're going to close off and we're going to talk about the future she wants to build in building an economy that works for everyone, not just people at the top. >> i always hear the clinton team say

i'm jake tapper. we're in uncharted waters these days, the speaker of the house today telling his fellow republicans that he would no longer defend his party's presidential nominee, and instead would entirely focus on trying to save the republican majority in the u.s. house, paul ryan giving every republican member of congress permission to unendorse trump if need be. since friday, republican officials have been fleeing from donald trump after that video leak from 2005 as he was filmed saying, grabbing them by the [ bleep ] because i can do anything. trump down to 35% of likely voters nationally, trailing hillary clinton by 11 points in a matchup. speaking of ryan clearly making this calculation that the league tape, in which he was talking about sexually assaulting women, it's just too toxic for trump to survive. >> that's right. enough was enough for paul ryan who, of course, as you know, jake, full well has really st g struggled with this donald trump endorsement, but he really the last few weeks h

"the lead" with jake tapper starts now. >> "the lead" starts now. breaking news, brand new polls releasing right now on "the lead" showing solid leads for hillary clinton. donald trump still insists he won the debate. with just five weeks until election day, donald trump is facing another possible headache after a leak shows he could have avoided paying federal income taxes for yearly a generation. >>> plus, life threatening. hurricane matthew now a massive category 4 storm with 140-mile-an-hour winds closing in on the caribbean. will the east coast of the u.s. be next? >> announcer: this is cnn breaking news. >>> and welcome to "the lead." i'm jim sciutto in for jake tapper. cnn executive mark preston here with the numbers. did last week's debate change this horse race? >> it certainly did, jim. since the last poll in september, hillary clinton has gained ground with a group she's been struggling with, including independents and non-college whites. here are the new rnc poll numbers, hillary clinton at 47%, donald trump at 42%. gary johnson at 7% an

. >>> this morning, cnn's jake tapper asked top trump campaign adviser rudy giuliani about this ninthuser and if he believed that all nine women are, as trump insists, liars. >> so you think the nine women are lying? you believe donald trump? >> i would not say it that way. i believe donald trump. i i don't know about the nine women. i haven't studied the case. i'm a lawyer. i'd have to study each case to tell you that. i'm not going to engage in clint clinton-type conduct and attack them. i'm telling you i believe he is telling the truth. some of the things appear to me on their face to be kind of untrue. >> okay. >> 15 minutes of groping in a first class cabin of an airplane? doesn't make sense. i've been in first class a lot. fortunately, since i stopped being mayor, i can afford first class. you know, you see everything that goes on in first class. >> so donald trump, you kind of eluded to the fact that donald trump has condemned the clintons for attacking bill clinton's accusers, the women who accused bill clinton of misconduct. you're kind of refraining from doing so, even thoug

let's bring in jake tapper. jake what are you look for tonight? >> the candidates don't come onto the stage tonight in equal footing. about a week in change ago donald trump had the momentum but now it is a very different race because of donald trump's performance in the last debate, as well as a brew ha ha with the former miss universe and questions about his taxes, donald trump is playing defense. hillary clinton has the momentum. hillary clinton is the one who now leads nationally and in key battleground state polls. so the question is how is that going to effect the dynamic? mike pence, arguably with a more difficult job tonight trying to explain things that his running mate has said and done in the last week that he himself has not. wolf. >> very interesting. i want to bring in dana bash as well. stand by vice presidential candidates have both been in politics for a long time but they have never actually met. what do you make of tonight? >> this is a proxy war, no question about it. and these guys, the bottom of the ticket. they have only a c

. >> jake tapper came out and said it was unethical. that's your colleague at cnn, not megan kelly.that question? >> megan, once again, i said it, i said it on the record and i'll say it on the record and keep saying it on the record, i am not going to try to validate falsified information. >> your e-mail to the clinton campaign said, sometimes i receive the questions in advance. >> ma'am, you know what -- >> and cnn is saying roland martin gave them to you or someone at tv-1 and they were provided to hillary before that town hall. >> anybody that knows me, and there are a number of your colleagues as well, they know me very well. i know how to play it. cnn never provided me with questions, absolutely never, nada. >> when you said, from time to time i get the questions in advance, what were you referring to? because in that e-mail you offered the exact question one of the moderators, roland martin, then proposed the next day. >> so my reference back to you, respect you greatly -- >> and i respect you, too. >> the validity of those e-mails, if i can only tell you one thing because as
