. >> policywise, rachel and the general are hitting on something important, the nuance detail that will matter in the end. let's talk about politics. we know donald trump found himself in sticky situation in past week 1/2, ambiguity, where does it stand and changing and pivoting. he had to address that. politically what he did was smart. we talked about buzzwords. the wall is not the most important thing. but when it talks to the signature political issue of donald trump's canada sir, the wall is actually the most important thing. that is the security issue but talking about the wall and mexico paying for it, rhetorically is very important for donald trump to talk about. liz: donald trump is bringing up a lot of inconvenient truths, general. 23 countries won't take back their nationals if convicted of crimes here. so you have chuck grassley saying, department of homeland security and government should yank visa ability of those countries not taking back the criminals. what do you think about that? there are nuances here. >> that particular stat he laid out last night is super important.

great example, where the only thing that mattered about that debate wasn't what they talked about policywise in the prior debate with mondale he looked a little tired, a little old. people wondered is he up for the job. >> about 100 million people will be watching and checking their twitter feed. once that one line comes out, it will be retweeted. brett o'donnell, thank you so much. we can't wait for the debate. >> you're very welcome. >>> protests continued in charlotte, north carolina, but they didn't devolve into the riots we saw earlier. demonstrators want the police footage of keith lamont scott's shooting released. they say pressure is on now that the family released their own video. rick leventhal is live in charlotte. >> reporter: calm during the daytime and things heat up at night. back on the streets again last night. while it wasn't as violent as the two nights of demonstrations, there were 11 arrests for curfew violations and a couple for breaking and entering. it helps to that there are state police on duty along with charlotte's finest who are allowing these demonstrators to mo

to have is already in the system had, nothing to do with donald trump, and by the way, economic policywiseary clinton wants to take $2 trillion out of the economy and put it into washington, d.c.'s hands, trump wants you to keep more of that money. i vote for trump on this one. i'm sorry. neil: again, i don't want to make this about political leanings here, but the fall is typically a time we've seen sell-offs, whether we're talking about 2008, and i could go back to the '87 crash, '89, '97, with the problems in latin america, the russian devaluation in 1998. i could go back to 1929. the fall has seen some of the more memorable crashes, corrections, whatever you want to call them. so why should we attach this to one guy coming into office when there seems to be a quasi pattern to this? >> look, it's true that who we elect as president will not necessarily have a massive effect on the economy, for better or worse, but i think it's indisputable there are serious concerns about trump's stability here and abroad that could have a significant effect on our economy. this is his reputation. the p

that would be the principle problem politically, policywise for the next administration, i think. >> to take your question head-on, i think there is an interesting parallel between the early '70s and period of cold war. the balance between the three. the recent example i cite which was very striking, after the sanctions were imposed, when the russians annexed crimea, one of the first things putin did was turn immediately to china and quickly thereafter signed a series of major energy, oil and gas deals. he was looking for a market because he realized, i've got to plan ahead the next few years. my european customers aren't going to be there. the alternative sources for them, i've got to maintain my position in this triangular relationship. he quickly moved to china. i was struck again, felt an awful lot like the '70s. >> i think on the chinese side there's an important distinction we need to make between the cold war period and today. china wants nothing to do with a conflict with the united states. they fought us in korea, they fought us in vietnam. their future is not about a confli
