at the moment, i would see angela merkel as unchallenged.here's really no alternative on the left, no alternative within her party. the germans are not very daring. there's always a lot of excitement before, but when they go to a very imporortant electi, and the spirits come down, it is very possible that if she wants to be reelected, that she could save her skin and be elected again. i think we have to wait. peter: angela merkel chastened, angela merkel unchallenged. what would you say for that one? alan: has to look for an adjective now. the first thing is, berlin was not a surprise. the asd got basically what they predicted. angela merkel's party getting less than 20% of the vote. but theyt a minute, had weak leadership. they have had that for a long time. they did not get credit for what they did. this cdu did very well within the constraints. is, this is all about , the alternatives getting this new xenophobia, right wing populist party getting 14% of the party, but that was expected. they are going to get something like that in thehe g

he has gone unchallenged on virtually everything.he problem with trump is he gives 10 different positions for the same issue, so it makes it difficult for anybody to get down to, what does he believe about something? because he will just shift on a dime. that is a challenge for the media for sure. the idea that hillary clinton gets off scott free because her scandals are just too complicated, hillary clinton scandals are not complicated. brian: what about the banners on the bottom of the screen? she should be held accountable. ben: she will say things like, i never had classified material on my server, and the fbi said, no, you did have classified material. the chiron underneath will say "clinton: no classified information on my server." there is no parentheses that says, not true. it does not really exist. trump is always perceived to be fibbing. sometimes that is true. a lot of the times he is fitting. with hillary, she is always perceived as telling the truth, and later if it turns out she's lying, the media will rush to cover it.

trump has gone unchallenged. and i'm going to go to ben first. do you think there is true and utter bias in the media? >> yeah, i mean i think there is bias in two directions. >> do you think it is a conscience buoys. >> yes, obviously there is conscience bias in the media and the general identified unconscious bias most of the people in the mainstream media are people who are democrats and will vote for hillary clinton come november. and they don't reveal that before they go on air. so yes, unconscious bis has an impact on how people perceive these particular issues. cnn, msnbc have run chie rones back checking trump thrks is another a cry ron on cnn or fact checking clinton. that is bias in one direction. in the other direction, this is true for the trump campaign there has been an unconscious lowering of the standard of decent we maf-- behavior for trump in the sense that if donald trump shows up in mexico and doesn't really do anything supremely note worthy, this is considered a major victory for his campaign. if he goes into a debate with cl

trump has gone unchallenged. i'm going to go to ben. do you think there is true and utter bias in the media? do you think it is a conscious bias? obviously there is conscious bias in the media, and then there is the generalized unconscious bias. most people in the mainstream media are democrats and will vote for hillary clinton, and they don't reveal that before they go on air. unconscious bias has an impact on how people perceive these issues. cnn, msnbc have run chiron's fact checking trump. there's never been one fact checking hillary clinton. in the other direction, i will there has been this unconscious lowering of the standard of decent behavior for trump in the sense that if donald trump shows up in mexico and doesn't do anything noteworthy, this is considered a victory for his campaign. if he goes into the debate with hillary clinton and doesn't act like a loon bag, that will be a big win for him. the new standard for normal campaigning has been left behind. if they held donald trump to mitt romney standards, there is no way he

workplace environment was, quote, a very toxic atmosphere in which inappropriate jokes about rape went unchallengedapple as well as many other tech companies have struggled to increase the percentage of women in the workforce. currently about a third or 32% of apple's employees are women. >> i don't think that just changing the numbers is going to solve the problem. if you have an environment that's toxic, um, you can have one toxic person in the company and that can create havoc in an organization. >> reporter: a spokesman for the company says they can't discuss specific employee complaints. but they did release a prepared statement saying, apple is committed to treating everyone with dignity and respect. when we receive complaints or hear that employees are concerned about their work environment, we take it very seriously and we investigate claims thoroughly." several of the women say they wrote apple's ceo tim cook directly about their concerns but have yet to receive a response. in cupertino, devin fehely, kpix 5. >> apple's shares are soaring as iphone 7 and 7 plus are going on sale tomorrow.

companies are taking stock, but i think it is the outcome of this, and the commission's decision went unchallenged a really dangerous precedent. foreign investment could not rely on the statutory tax basis of each member state's taxes. it would open up to the commission at any point in time. retrofitting -- it's very damaging. i think that is the most worrying thing from yesterday in the short term is the commission who on the one hand should be promoting job creation, enterprise development within the european union that desperately needs this, on the other hand has undermined the ability to attract foreign investment. >> an unusual moment here. we're seeing the u.s. saying it doesn't want to collect. ireland saying it doesn't want to collect. the eu telling them they better do it. >> does the u.s. want the tech companies to be lured back to home? >> that is part of it. on the one hand the u.s. like apple tim cook says it is over reach by the eu to go after this money. on the other hand part of what's going on here is clear the u.s. is saying wait a minute. there's almost $2 trillion in money off

again, the important thing is if you let, you know, deplorable statements going unchallenged, that'se. i would call on other to condemn deplorable statements. there is too many people supporting donald trump. i think that's worthy of public condemnation or this is somebody that goes after a judge who's mexican-american, of the fact of his heritage makes him unqual y unqualified. that's a comment worthy of condemnati condemnation. when we are at our best, we condemn comments and attitudes and ideas than people. that's sometimes you can just in the heat of the moment, adjust that a little bit one way or another. if you don't condemn deplorable statements or decisive statements then you are allowed our politics to be divided and there is one thing that unify hillary and me in my whole career is we are trying to pull people together and not allow people being divided, especially of that old style, we are afraid of you and blaming you and second class. that old style division benefits your politics. it never does anything good. you have to call it out. you have to. yeah, i am going say th

i don't want it to go unchallenged. commissioner o'rielly has not said anything that isn't accurate. i agree with what he said. it may sound partisan but it was what happened to the d.c. court. in quoting, the democratic leader, he is correct. i would like to get on with other issues but i feel that i have to defend the commissioner in that what he said is factual. let's talk about something that is bipartisan. chairman wheeler, 26 of us sent you a letter july 11th. it was led by senator manchin and by this senator regarding the build-out of rural broadband and the mobility fund. july 11th, 2606 us on a bipartisan basis signed that. thank you, senator manchin for helping with that and thank you for of ul thyou that signed us. we got an answer yesterday. mr. chairman, it is disappoint tog me that we have to have a hearing to get a letter back on something that over a quarter of this body asked about. basically, the response was, we're looking into it. we hope to get back to you by the first of the year. no decisions have

you know, talking about their vision of an america that's not a diverse america going completely unchallenged. i've seen it a lot. it's not unusual. so i really feel like the tenor of this election is ugly, and i think journalists need to do a better job, frankly, in standing up and actually really talking about that. >> be sure to tune in for morning. that's right after otr at 11:00. a big jet delay. >> why british airways is postponing the launch of its double-decker aircraft in boston. >> the red sox a.l. east lead slipping a bit yesterday. where they stand after a loss to the blue jays. >> i'm timing some showers moving across the area today and when we'll see some cooler weat come on duck!

with jsas, they are unchallenged in my view. some of these agreements have been useful in helping broadcasters provide the public vital information. the writing is on the wall that the fcc is collecting information as a step toward, as you put it, more regulation, prohibiting shared service agreements. >> mr. o'reilly? >> i agree with my colleague on his two points. i think this is the first step. the ssa declaratory structure is intended to, for future commission, to impose new rules and limitations on stations and their ability to share such activities. >> and can anyone tell me a way these new broadcast ownership rules could now be appealed or asked for a change? mr. pine? >> i think it will be appealed. i imagine the third circuit would. the court said the fcc needs to take a is serious look whether these regulations remain necessary. the fcc having not just doubled down on them but made them stricter. i think the court is going to take -- to have serious concerns with what the fcc did. >> thank you. thank you, chairman. >>

and unfortunately i would expect him to get steam rolled, to have a bunch of unchallenged assertions to come out of the mouth of the candidate and then we're left with more confusion and less information than ever. i mean, i hope dr. oz's producers are watching this and maybe know that a lot of people are relying on them to carry some important weight for the public when it comes to making some really important choices in the next 50 days. >> so, david, i can hear trump supporters saying things like, you know what, hillary clinton's the one who got sick on the campaign trail and she got pneumonia. donald trump seems to be going strong. so why are we all making such a big deal of him releasing his medical records? >> well, we're making a big deal out of it again because of what we've all been talking about for the last couple of days, that the position of president of the united states is too important for the public not to have an idea of this physically and mentally for any of the candidates to be able to do the job of commander in chief if they're elected. in terms of the standard

>> well, again, i think the important thing is, if you let, you know, deplorable statements go unchallengedat's actually divisive. i would call on -- i would call on others to condemn deplorable statements. there are too many people who are supporting donald trump, and i'm talking about elected officials, who don't go on record and condemn deplorable statement. this guy wants to be commander in chief of the military but says the military is a disaster. i think that's worthy of public condemnation. or this is someone who goes after a judge who's mexican-american and says the very fact of his heritage makes him unqualified to render a ruling in a case. that's a comment worthy of condemnation. i think when we're at our best, we condemn comments and attitudes and ideas more than we condemn people, and that can sometimes -- you know, you can sometimes just in the heat of the moment adjust that a little bit one way or the other, but if you don't condemn deplorable statements, if you don't condemn divisive statements, then you allow our politics to become divided. and, you know, there's one thing

donald trump saying he was against the war in iraq when he was not and letting that statement go unchallenged. there is a lot of pressure on the moderators to hold these candidates accountable in real-time. donald trump will have to contend with explaining himself and not just saying things that are factually untrue and getting away with it. any party who covers politics with politico. her work is online at politico.com. we went to look at some of the moments in this campaign and for hillary clinton in 2008 and 2000, what to expect during the first of three presidential debates. president of his own firm, he is helped george w. bush, john mccain and mitt romney in debate preparation. what goes on behind the scenes that we don't see? >> what you don't see is very careful planning and preparation for these debates. oft think of it as a couple hours spent debating someone in a mock debate because we have seen it and television shows. in reality, it is many hours. i set that is usually built to the specifications of the debate sets themselves. careful planning and thinking through on the part of

she cannot let anything go unchallenged. and i think donald trump gave her an awful lot to talk about last night. she could go on the attack against him. this is talking about donald trump's temperament and qualifications to be commander in chief. she went right after him. as you pointed out on the putin issue. what i always find astonishing she did not talk about is donald trump answered a question about a classified briefing. somehow saying that there was one thing in the briefing that shocked him. he wouldn't tell people what it was. but then he said it involved a decision by president obama and mrs. clinton. so he kind of teased that in, i felt, an inappropriate way. you know, she had lots of opportunity to go out there and answer him, particularly on this question of praising putin and his approval rating. and -- and on from there. >> let's play what donald trump said last night about vladimir putin and his leadership skills. >> if he says great things about me, i'm going to say great things about him. i already said he

in a climate -- in a climate of hypocrisy, we are unchallenge kings in hypocrisy, the truth is revolutionarye donald j. trump, he is honest. he tells it like it is. he says a lot of iconic clastic things. it comes out. it's a spiritual revelation. all of them come out from the forefront out into the forefront from hidden. the conversation will be uninterrupted or on the sidelines in the back room. donald trump has brought all those voices to the floor for whatever the reason i know not, but i do know this, he is leading -- making for the people because we need a change. america needs to change just that we did when we were the 13 colonies and separates from king george and england. and we are at that same consensus of public opinion now. >> i'm going to run out of time in 45 seconds. explain to me what you are trying to say when you dropped the n word. identi i've watched the tape and i'm not getting it. what was the message the other day? >> the message was there. you are black. you're never going to stop being black, so you understand -- i don't care if you're rich, poor, otherwise, you'll

letting donald trump say he was against the war in iraq when he was not an letting that statement go unchallenged. i think there is a lot of tossure on the moderators hold these candidates accountable in real-time. donald trump will have to contend with explaining himself and not saying things that are factually untrue. host: annie kearny, her work available online at politico.com. thanks for being with us. we want to look at some of those moments in this campaign, and i want to introduce to you brett o'donnell, the president of his own firm, o'donnell and associates. thank you for being with us. what goes on behind the scenes that we don't see? brett: what you don't see is very, very careful planning and preparation for these debates. most think of it as a couple hours spent debating someone else in a mock debate because we have seen it in television shows, but in reality, it is many, many hours, on a set that is usually built to the specifications of debate sets themselves. careful planning and thinking through on the part of policy teams, communication teams, exactly how they will frame their

i can't leave that unchallenged to say donald trump will get up and lie for 90 minutes. that's just inflammatory and wrong and by the way, if we want to talk about lying and obfuscation, donald trump is not the one who was our national security official who had her aides destroy with a hammer her 13 blackberries and multiple ipads. >> remember when i said earlier there's a technique in which you use a question as an opportunity to put negative information out about the other candidate? that is also a technique that surrogates do. that the idea is you are asked a question about your candidate and you pivot to the other candidate. that's a technique that i know is used by surrogates but this segment is not with that. let's not do that here. let me show you an example of what donald trump might do. if we want to talk about realistically based on history what he might do. this is a montage of donald trump debating his republican opponents during the primary. take a look. >> i mean, first of all this guy's a choke artist and this guy's a liar. when you say crazy zealot are yo

because and really go unchallenged, in some ways, when reporters challenge him and push back, say thiswhat you said, the american electorate are still supporting him and i think that's something that hillary clinton is going to have to figure out how to push back against. the idea in these debates that we're going to see, he's going to be able to say these different things and even if she pushes back, is it going to matter? it's really hard to understand how someone like this and someone like donald trump can go on stage and say, you know, i do believe that maybe president obama was born in the united states or i really do believe that, you know, the war in iraq, i wasn't against it and not really be able to be hurt politically. any other candidate in the past has really had a problem when it came to flip-flopping. hillary clinton has had to say, i made a mistake with my e-mails and voting for the war in iraq and really been held to a different standard. and her voters, when i talk on the ground, people are weary of hillary clinton because of those things. they say, do i believe she re
