do you think the clinton team knows how to deal with a subdued donald trump? the new kellyanne conway donald trump? if he comes out and talks about policy and doesn't say something insulting, is that something hillary clinton can deal with, mark? >> reporter: i think so. i think hillary clinton, she is very skilled at doing debates. she has been doing these for 12 years. she knows how to handle herself on the debate stage. if he comes out and he is s subdued and does not attack her. in some ways, if he comes out and he is quiet and not as bombastic, that may work for hillary clinton. i suspect no matter what happens, she will be prepared. as we watch tonight and listen for what they have to say, let's watch their body language. that will be telling who will be declared the winner and loser. >> eugene, there is an issue that donald trump could make a statement or apologize for birtherism and take something off the table. it could be donald trump x. instead of issues. there is a way he could generate a different headline and take the attention. >> absolutely. i'm

the answer is yes. it has to do with an eastern, according to this group with clinton's own website. we put our jeff gillan on this to find out. >> good evening, everyone. the clinton team uses technology to reach as many people as possible. one report says that's a problem. it t regated. the phone site is not secure. it says the problem is on clinton's website when you create an account. you get access to a phone bank tool that lets you call people in selected states. i just went to the clinton website. i signed up. i put my name, information, my address and phone number. it thinks i'm a volunteer. so i'm ready to make some phone calls. verification. you could pretend to be anything and julieian says that's a big problem. >> this ex -- exposes hillary clinton to the risk of having anybody say whatever they want and potentially harass people through information provided publicly by hillary clinton's website. >> we saw it ourself, names, phone numbers, ages. i did a clinton cold call to >> i'm not sure i like it was on there and you were able to find it. >> her candidate is -- >> hillary. we should be concerned about the person running our government, how they are going

the u.s. attorney here in washington to investigate whether clinton and her team obstructed justice by deletingils that were subject to a court preservation order. just this afternoon clinton was asked about this issue when she was traveling with the press on her plane and she said she had no concerns whatsoever about the actions that her aides took when they deleted those records, david. david: great reporting once again, catherine herridge, thank you very much. >> you're welcome. melissa: hillary clinton is brushing aside the email controversy bill clinton is stealing the spotlight. laureate university signed bill clinton to a $17 million deal. it was a five-year contract. it ended in 2015 according to "the washington post" auto there was no evidence that laureate received favors from the state department, the relationship is sparking concerns. charles ortel is financial whistle-blower. that is a lot of iormation. this is something you've been talking about for a while. finally others are picking up on it. break it down in a very basic sense. laureate university is online and in person univer

clinton's sagging poll numbers among millennials. the two campaigned in new hampshire today. this while donald trump stumped in iowa. trump is a up 5% in the hawkeye state. for many months the clinton team thought they had it locked up. michelle obama was campaigning for clinton in pennsylvania. had locked up. tonight it is neck and neck. >> and two bullet points. one, if in brooklyn the clinton team could wiggle their nose and get any demographic into the fold, it would be the millennials. the numbers are not good. they hope bernie helps that. number two, how did the debate actually translate in this election? we should see the polling data thursday afternoon or friday morning to see exactly who won >> you know what's amazing? the sanders campaign was such a movement that they addressed and catered to in their convention and you wondered did it take grip? >> yeah. the question is can he transfer that energy, that momentum from the bernie sanders vibe and transfer it over to the clinton vibe? right now a lot of the youth vote is going to the third- party candidates. >>> tonight parents have been warned about a man driving a gold or tan suv who the girls to get into the car. this happene

i'm surprised the clinton team is doing a mock debate today. 's a lot of movement. >> we're not sure it's a mock debate. the way it's been characterized is practice. >> not necessarily a full knock. >> she's on the treadmill, lifting weights? >> that's what i do when i want to warm up. does donald trump need to win this debate to win the election? >> i don't know if he needs to win the debate but they have created such a low bar for him. if you look at the characterization of the clinton campaign and their supporters have put out, they essentially, it's not hillary herself, but their supporters called him a nazi, a fascist, compared him to members of the kkk. if he goes out there and looks like a reasonable tempered human being, i think he will win this debate. >> it's interesting, what john just said, because the clinton team is making sure that the media grades this fairly, judges them equally here, but also making the interesting case that the clinton team has actually set the low bar for donald trump. millions of dollars in some ways in adve

hillary clinton is undoubtedly the favorite when it comes to handling a debate on this stage, i think the clinton team looks at the reality that donald trump can't just kind of recede at any point and will have a difficult time swatting things away and moving on. hillary clinton's job will be to drive down into the policies, try and draw him out. that's where they think they can win. >> we talk about this debt head. the new poll showing they are in this virtual tie. jeff, i ha jeff, i have to ask you, is there a feeling from the clinton campaign that there is more to lose, more is at stake for her because of this presumed, you know, imbalance of measuring their performance? >> i think more could be at stake for her. without a doubt, the election here has high consequences for her. the debate has high consequences. she's going against history a bit. this is a change in environment in this election. the clinton campaign realizes they have the burden here, as well, to acknowledge that everything is not okay. the economy has certainly improved but not as much as somebody would like. we see protests in the

the answer either. there is similar regard with clinton sort of exceptional status on how to deal of the press, and how they deal with their teams. that is not always talked about. bigl get to the other story. the clinton campaign trying to clean up her comments she made on friday night when she declared her fundraiser, half of donald trump supporters were "a basket of deplorables." she apologized later, but trump is trying to get behind it with $2 million in this new ad in ohio and florida. donors,ing to wealthy hillary clinton called tens of millions of americans deplorable. >> they are racist, sexist, homophobic, islam a public, you name it -- islamic phobic, you name it. >> people like you deplorable. you know what is deplorable? hillary clinton viciously demonizing people like you. mark: trump continued that attack. donald trump: our support comes from every part of america and every walk of life. these are the people hillary .linton so viciously demonized she called these patriotic men and women every filename in the book. she called them racist, sexist, ophobphobic, islam ic. ae called half of our support basket of deplor

because the clinton team invited mark cuban, the billionaire who has been sparring back and forth with donald trump over the course of the last several months. one that hillary clinton used as a top surrogate. the clinton team has given him a front row ticket, something cuben has becub cuban has been happy to point out to trump. donald trump responding on twitter to the news that mark cuban would be here, saying he might bring gennifer flowers. flowers, obviously, the woman bill clinton had an affair with decades ago. it's something that republican officials backed off in horror. it's the last thing they want donald trump to be talking about. when you talk to the trump campaign, they're saying, look, this is donald trump the counter punchers. the clintons were trying to draw this out of donald trump. gennifer flowers, according to the trump campaign, will not be attending on monday night with a trump team ticket. whether or not she comes, well, she said she was going to show up. it won't be because of the trump on ratio operation. not only what's happening on the stage, but it's a big

the voyeur. secretary clinton heard her legal team destroyed information. that's what we have to remember of the e-mail that's out there, hillary clinton and her legal team got to decide on the front end which one they kept and which ones we got. the one they did destroy, they say were not working. the fbi says no, there were about 17,448 that were appropriated that we got through other sources that you would e-mail to. the state department is not complying. they don't have tall informatal information. they take their sweet time before they get it to us. i think there is a certain fatigue setting in with the american public on this issue. >> the scandal has been raging over years now. we know and we are learning little by little and by the way, i think like everyone, who is not fatigue by it, i salute you and other members of congress who are proceeding and pushing for every scrap of information you can get from the state department. but, at the end of the day, this is going to be decided by elections that's not two months away, is it not? >> it is going to

you have the clinton campaign drudging up comments from 20-something years ago. it's team clinton that's dredging up the past, going negative. you mentioned the ads. all of their ads are negative. they're hitting donald trump. it's donald trump's ads that are up on tv talking about the future and the movement that he has and the way to make america great again. the irony of what the reality is versus what the media wants to talk about is unbelievable in terms of the disconnect. so, i do find it interesting because what donald trump is talking about, what this campaign is talking about, what governor pence is talking about is making america great, moving forward, solutions to the problems our country faces. and what team clinton is talking about is digging up decade's old comments and trying to create further controversies instead of talking about the reported of their candidate and her accomplishments. you've got to wonder that's because there's a lack of them. >> sean spicer with the rnc, thanks for being here. >> thanks, kate. >>> the fact-checkers, very busy during last

and that's what the clinton team is hoping, right? they're hoping they can make the case. this new ad out today, where she has this horrific series of statements that he made about women. and she has these young girls watching these statements. it is horrifying for any woman or father or brother to watch this thing. that's what they're hoping to do, say, even if you don't trust her, even if you have issues with hillary clinton, you cannot trust him. he is far, far worse. and of course, the trump campaign is hoping to do the same thing with hillary clinton. they're hoping to say that, you know, i may not be your favorite republican, but i am far better than this clinton or any clinton because that is something that brings republicans together. they're hoping that's true and we'll have to see. >> you mentioned the ad the clinton campaign is out, we have that. let's take a look at what the clinton campaign is putting up here. ♪ >> i'd look her right in that fat ugly face of hers. she's a slob. she ate like a pig. a person who's flat-chested is very hard to be a 10. does she h
