stood up to john street -- michael nutter. john street would not appoint an ethics board to clean up the corruption. nutter stood up to him. john street stonewalled efforts to cut taxes, nutter stood up to him. when he refused to put more money for the police on the budget, nutter got it done. michael nutter will run the city differently. michael nutter for mayor. mr. oxman: then we ran the spot with olivia. running those two ads -- "as you may know, john street cannot run for mayor. do you want the next mayor to continue the policies of john street or move the city in a different direction?" we made that the stakes of the election. we made the stakes of the election who would be least like john street, much like the stakes of the election in 1979 were who would be least like frank rizzo. because green had run against frank rizzo for mayor in the 1971 primary, he was already seen as a guy standing up to rizzo. we would do that in 2007. and nutter got elected, went from last-place to 37% of the vote in seven weeks, and literally

oxman's clients have included michael nutter and al gore. thank you for joining us. how are you? >> doing well, thank you. >> this is the home stretch for the candidates now, and i think a lot of people are wondering, can the political ads still have an impact at this point? >> absolutely. pennsylvania happens to be at the epicenter of the presidential campaign this year. four years ago, we hadded alm ao presidential advertising because the romney and obama campaigns considered pennsylvania as a safe state. these ads will make a big difference over the next five yeex a weeks and couple days. >> one thing that's interesting is the way these ads need to speak to voters at the moment of time we're in right now. 'hea i've heard you say, define yourself, define your opponent and then define the stakes. in broad terms, as you're thi g thinking about defining the stakes, what comes to mind as you're overriwriting these ads? >> there's nothing overriding. it's not an economy year. it's where the two candidates, their unfavorables are higher than the favorables. they're beating each other

michael nutter for mail -- mayor. mr. oxman: then we ran the spot with olivia. -- as youose two ads may know, john street cannot run for mayor. do you want the next mayor to continue the policies of john street or move the city in a different direction? we made that the stakes of the election. we made the stakes of the election to would be least like john street, much like the stakes of the election in 1979 work who would be least like frank rizzo. because green had run against frank rizzo for mayor in the 71 primary, he was already seen as a guy standing up to rizzo. we would do that and thousand seven. got elected, went from last-place to 37% of the vote in seven weeks and literally spent the least amount of money. everybody thinking we were crazy. you can't necessarily always do that in the campaign, but i want to show the history of presidential campaigns. i think you will enjoy the best of the best. i first did this lecture, part of this lecture, when i went to oxford in 1989. the internet did not exist, al gore had

michael nutter -- go ahead, betsy. >> i'd like to weigh-in on this. >> hold on. go ahead, betsy. >> clearly, compared with many nations around the world, we have a very legitimate electoral system. but even the new york city election commissioner weighed in last week, commenting on how much voter fraud there is in new york. i've seen it here, because i've run for office here, polling places where the machines don't arrive until noon, for example. it happens. and the pugh foundation, which is definitely nonpartisan, has looked into this and found two things that remind us we always have to be vigilant. one is, that one out of every -- >> i don't disagree with you. that's a different argument than saying it's rigged. yes, everyone wants people to be vigilant. mayor, before you weigh-in, this is donald trump talking specifically about philadelphia where you used to be the mayor. here it is. >> philadelphia is one that's mentioned, i think romney got no votes and mccain got no votes, i mean no votes. philadelphia is certainly one, you look at what's going on in chica

cnn political commentator, a republican strategist, michael nutter, the former mayor of philadelphia, j.d. vance. author of "hillbilliology." that's the name of his book, i'm not saying that. paris, let's see, is there some truth to this? do white working class voters who support trump and african-americans have more in common than some might think? >> i think they do. think i it's because when you look at the economy and jobs, i was at a panel earlier today at georgetown law center, they were talking about how white americans over the age of 50 have had no raises over the past 50 years. you look at wage stag nation, unemployment numbers. you look at a lot of things that are affecting middle class america, that's going on doubly with black america. that's why i think that come election day, you're going to have a lot of african-american supporters listening to trump and saying, he makes a lot of sense -- >> no, come on. >> i do, i really do. >> be serious. >> come on. >> this is -- that would be great, and i agree with paris on the substance of what's happening. the problem is, that d

i'm joined by former philadelphia mayor and hillary clinton supporter michael nutter along with donaldrump surrogate representative brian babin of texas. welcome to both of you. i want to step back because both of you have run for office. michael, what would it be like to be in the middle of this kind of election? >> oh, it's just -- it's a firestorm. we saw when the first tape came out, the bus, and all of that disgusting talk, you know, donald trump apparently was held up in his trump tower, you know, as if they were in a bunker somewhere scrambling around trying to figure out what to say, what to do, kind of a half-baked, half-hearted statement, then you know, the hostage-like video. they are scrambling. they are not focused now on the presidential election. it is impossible under these circumstances to fight so many battles in so many places on so many fronts all at the same time. the last thing they're doing right now is focused on the presidential election. we are filing lawsuits, making denials, doing all kinds of things that have nothing to do with trying to become president of

i was talking to mayor michael nutter, the former mayor of philadelphia today, and he said this is his philadelphia, that the trump campaign trump himself talking , about voter fraud and urging his supporters to go to the polling places could be an intimidating force and suppress the african-american vote in that city, which of course would help donald trump. john: phil, i just want to ask you about infowars. just for the benefit of anybody who is not familiar with alex jones and infowars. we have seen donald trump retreating things from editors talking about the theory that hillary clinton was on drugs at the last debate which is straight out of the info wars world. just tell people what is info worse -- info wars and why is donald trump taking place out of their playbook? phil: it's a website. it is one of the darkest corners of the media online, if you want to call it that. they don't do traditional journalism, but they spread a lot of theories, including 9/11 truth or theories, which is a website that was home to a lot of ideas after 9/11 that it was a tyrannical government plot, t

i was talking to mayor michael nutter, the former mayor of philadelphia today, and he said this is his philadelphia, that the trunk campaign -- trump himself talking about voter fraud in go to his supporters to the polling places could be an intimidating force and suppress the african-american vote in that city, which of course would help donald trump. john: phil, i just want to ask you about infowars. for anyone who is not familiar with alex jones and infowars. we have seen him talking about hillary clinton being on drugs at the last debate, which is straight out of that world. and dow jonesrs and why is trump taking pages out of their playbook? it's a website. it's one of the darkest corners of the media online, if you want to call it that. they don't do traditional journalism, but they spread a lot of theories, including 9/11 truther series. that it was some kind of germanic government plot, the terrorist attacks of 2001. alex jones certainly -- is someone he is on interviews with. he listens to what he has to say. and roger stone, a long time trump advisor, frequently appears there

core dona, a senior advisor to secretary clinton's 2008 campaign and former philadelphia mayor michael nutterinton supporter. gloria mike pence has done an efficient job, a good job according to his supporters of explaining donald trump, defending donald trump. do you expect to see that pretty much tonight? >> yeah. i think he has to play cleanup a lot. i think he does it very well, whereas, president obama needed an anger translator, donald trump needs sort of a calm translator. i think that's what mike pence will do. he has to explain donald trump without contradicting him. and he has to keep changing the subject to the fact that donald trump is a change agent, that he is different from everything we've seen before, he is the anti politician. hillary clinton is the status quo. i guarantee you he'll keep making that point over and over again. >> david, it seems inevitable tonight. there have been so many headlines in the last week and a half, mike pence is, again, going to be asked to answer for donald trump's late-night tweets. i would imagine, taxes -- >> he could spend his whole evening d
