Transcripts For CNNW CNN Newsroom With Carol Costello 20151019

Clinton turned in the best performance. She didnt get much of a bump. Gained 3 Percentage Points among democrats. Sanders is still a distance second. What about biden, will this be the day he announces whether or not hell run . His window may be closing a. Growing number of democrats believe joe biden should not run for president. Brianna keilar joins us from washington with more. Good morning. Good morning to you. Its interesting to look at the head to head matchups in this latest poll. Hillary clinton beating donald trump by five points. That is not within the margin of error. That would be plus or minus three points. Statistically, she beats him. Look when you pair her up with ben carson. Statistically, she is tied with ben carson. Donald trump, the front runner in the republican field, but ben carson doing better in a general election matchup, assuming the democratic nominee would be Hillary Clinton. What if it were to be donald trump and Bernie Sanders . 53 for sanders and 44 for trump. Sanders performing better against donald trump than Hillary Clinton. Thats curious, i think. Far and away, even though far away and when you look at the issues and democrats and democratic leaning voters are asked, how do you think your potential nominees would do against each other . They say, Hillary Clinton is the best on Foreign Policy, guns and health care. When theyre asked, are you satisfied with the democratic field, only 1 out of 3 say they are very satisfied. At the same time, carol, as you know, joe biden is weighing whether to run. You have more democrats in this poll who are saying, you know what . Maybe you shouldnt run, joe biden. In fact, more think he should not run than think he should. All right. Maybe democrats are getting tired of the dance. I dont know. I think maybe so. I think so. Brianna keilar reporting live. Thank you. So it is safe to say Bernie Sanders is in the race to stay. His poll numbers inched up. Hes raised 26 million to clintons 29 million this quarter. More importantly, senator sanders has captured the voters imagination thanks to saturday night live. Cue larry david. Im the only candidate up here who is not a billionaire. I dont have a super pac. I dont even have a backpack. I carry my stuff around loose in my arms like a professor between classes. I own one pair of underwear. Thats it. Some of these billionaires, they got three, four pairs. And so spot on. Lets bring in our political analyst. A democratic strategist. And john is the editor in chief of the daily beast. Sanders loved that. He laughed about it on the campaign trail. Does that help him, maria . I think it does. Especially when you hear reports that he actually loved it and he thought that the impression was spot on. I think it humanizes him. I think that it brings him down to earth. It injects a little bit of humor into sort of that grumpy, old man persona that he has and that he carries very well. I think it does in the eyes of voters. These skits on saturday night live, they can be they can either work or not work so well. I think this one works in his favor, frankly. On the other hand, Hillary Clinton according to the recent poll dominates on the Foreign Policy, race relations. Are we hyping sanders too much . I think hes being hyped by the Democratic Party. Hes gotten an enormous amount of Energy Behind his campaign. But to your point, when you look at this poll and you look under the hood, Hillary Clinton is beating him on almost every major issue that a president ultimately ends up being judged on. Thats an argument about electability, an ability to be commander in chief. The l the larry david impression doesnt help. Hes behind Hillary Clinton as to who could be commander in chief. Maria, both clinton and sanders beat trump but theyre even with ben carson. Why is that . That is a very good question, carol. I think, first of all, lets remember that, head to head general election polls this early on really dont mean anything. In 2012, at this same point in the game, mitt romney was beating barack obama. We know how that turned out. I think in terms of the carson versus trump, it probably has something to do with carson continues to speak to the anger, the frustration, to those voters who are being mobilized by the outsiders who are sick of politicians on the republican side. He doesnt have this arrogant, in your face, insulting every minute of the day whole swaths of voters, even though his policies are just as scary to american voters. Again, i would focus on the fact that general election matchups at this point in the game dont mean a whole lot, carol. John, could it have anything to do with the africanamerican vote . Well, i mean, the africanamerican vote is 12 of the total population. Im not sure thats decisive. Ben carson is a lot of things, but angry, he doesnt come across. Hes a very mellow guy. I think hes a validater for a lot of conservatives. The fact he seems to be doing better in the polls speaks to trumps toxicity in a general election matchup. In these polls, the caveat is we are a long way from the first vote in the first caucus primary being taken. Theres a lot of noise in the polls and a lot to sift out. I get it. Carol, can i just add one thing about Bernie Sanders . I think that what he really does for the Democratic Party, which is terrific, and john mentioned this, he mobilizes and he injects energy into the whole debate and into the whole election. He is having people Pay Attention. Now, clearly, that hasnt really transferred to support or to votes for him, but i think for the Democratic Party as a whole, it is fantastic, what he is adding to the conversation, compared to what youre getting on the republican side. I have to leave it there. Yeah. Okay. I have to leave it there. Thanks so much. When it comes to the republican race for president , donald trump is standing strong on controversial comments he made about 9 11. He insists hes not blaming former president bush for the attack, but says 9 11 would not have happened on his watch because hes so tough on immigration. Listen to what he told fox news sunday. Well, i would have been different. Somebody says, wouldnt have been any different. It would have been. I amex tre extremely tough on i immigration. Im extremely tough on people coming into this country. I believe that if i were running things, i doubt those families would have i doubt those people would have been in the country. There is a good chance that those people would not have been in our country. With that being said, im not blaming george bush, but i dont want jeb bush to say, my brother kept us safe. Because september 11th was one of the worst days in the history of this country. Needless to say, that didnt make jeb bush happy. Lets bring in athena jones, live in dallas this morning. Good morning. Good morning, carol. Its been interesting to watch this feud play out. Well have to see how long these two keep it up. Right now, it looks as though both of these candidates think this feud is benefitting them. Jeb bush gets to show donors and supporters he has the fire in the belly to fight for this nomination, and show them hes not low energy, as trump has been saying for months. Meanwhile, trump gets to poke at jeb bush, which seems to be one of his favorite past times, and also gets to link him to the past. Im not blaming george bush, but i dont want jeb bush to say, my brother kept us safe. Reporter the feud between donald trump and jeb bush is heating up. For him, it looks as though hes an actor playing the role of a candidate for president. Reporter from the sunday shows to social media. With bush defending his brothers handling of the september 11th attacks. He united the country, organized our country and kept us safe. Reporter bush said by repeatedly bringing up 9 11, trump shows hes not, quote, a serious person, and has grave concerns about trump being in charge of nuclear weapons. Mr. Trump talks about things as though hes still on the apprentice. Reporter trump said he was taking issue with jeb saying during the cnn debate his brother kept america safe. The World Trade Center came down. When he said we were safe, its not safe. We lost 3,000 people. Reporter the latest chapter in this battle began friday, when trump said. The World Trade Center came down during his time. Hold on, you cant blame bush for that. He was president. Reporter bush fired back on twitter, calling the gop front runner pathetic. Dealing with killers. Reporter now, his campaign is mocking trump in a new video, using his own words. Who do you talk to for military advice right now . I watch the shows. Thats one way he bones up on our national security. Reporter and sending this appeal to supporters, arguing that under trumps logic, fdr should be blamed for pearl harbor. This as trump insisted he could have prevented 9 11 because his tough stance on immigration would have kept the hijackers out. Theres a good chance those people would not have been in our country. Reporter ben carson made an unusual claim. Saying president bush could have used oil as leverage with arab states to find Osama Bin Laden sooner. I think they would have known where he was. Carson is also defending george w. Bush, saying its ridiculous to suggest hes responsible for 9 11. Huckabee is echoing carson, saying that the blame lies with islamic jihadists. Carol . Athena jones reporting live for us this morning. Thank you. Still to come, another deadly weekend in israel. The latest on this escalating crisis, next. While youre watching this, im hacking your company. Grabbing your data. Stealing your customers secrets. Theres an army of us. Relentlessly unpicking your patchwork of security. Think youll spot us . You havent so far. The next wave of the internet requires the next wave of security. Were ready. Are you . Building aircraft, the likes of which the world has never seen. This is what we do. Thats the value of performance. Northrop grumman. I built my business with passion. But i keep it growing by making every dollar count. Thats why i have the spark cash card from capital one. I earn unlimited 2 cash back on everything i buy for my studio. And that unlimited 2 cash back from spark means thousands of dollars each year going back into my business. Thats huge for my bottom line. Whats in your wallet . Anger, fear and panic reaching a boiling point in the israelipalestinian conflict. I want to warn you. The video youre about to see is graphic. This is new cell phone video aired by israeli media. It shows a crowd beating a man lying in a pool of his own blood. That man, an immigrant, allegedly seeking asylum, was one of the victims in the latest deadly attack to rock the region. A shooting spree at a bus station. The video show it is panic of people running from the attack. In the chaos, a Security Guard mistook the migrant as a second gunman and shot him. The mob, overcome with anger, jumped in. The man later died. Along with a 17yearold israeli soldier who was targeted by the real attacker and shot at close range. Cnn is live in jerusalem with more for you. Reporter hi, carol. Were sorting out what are two separate stories that unfolded within moments of each other inside the central bus station in the southern israeli city. This attack, adding to the fear, the anxiety and tension. Up until now, this city is one that hadnt seen an attack in this recent wave. Heres what happened. Police say an arab went into the gus station, shot a soldier at pointblank range, and sent fire into the bus station, sending 11 people in the hospital. Police shot and killed the attacker. Then police say a Security Guard looked at another man there, innocent bystander, and thought he was another suspect. This african migrant. He shot him. In this video, and were hearing from police, then a crowd gathered around the bystander and beat, kicked and screamed at him. He later died at the hospital. Today, there is shock at both ecent events. First the attack and then the killing of an innocent bystan r bystander. What can be done to prevent things like these from happening . There are seve reporter there are severe security restrictions around jerusalem. It has been jerusalem and the west bank that have seen the tension and most of the attacks. Whats surprising about last nights attack is it was in israel in a city that hadnt seen these attacks yet. Israel focusing on jerusalem, where were seeing id checks, car checks, asking palestinians to raise their shirts and pant legs, to see theyre not carrying any weapons. In the latest example, installing barriers between a palestinian neighborhood in East Jerusalem and a jewish neighborhood. Its to prevent the throwing of molotov cocktails at homes. The force incites these attacks. No surprise that the israelis blame the palestinians for incitement. And palestinians blame the israelis for the incitement. Thank you.

A 6yearold accidentally shoots his 3yearold brother to death. Ian santiago was killed with a loaded gun his father michael kept wrapped in pajama pants on the top of the familys refrigerator. Kids get into everything. Thats not a safe place to put a gun, where a kid cant reach it. Or cant find it. Reporter ians grandfather had no idea santiago kept a loaded gun in the house. Santiago was at work and the boys mother was at the store. La salle sent his 6yearold grandson to get something in the kitchen. I look out and he was running up the stairs and tells me somebody shot his brother. I told him, who is going to shoot your brother . Theres nobody down there. At the same time, i was running down the stairs with him. I seen him laying on the floor in the kitchen. I went and got him. Reporter ian died at the hospital. His father, michael santiago, is charged with felony child endangerment. Prosecutors say cant santiago w former gang member who bought the gun on the street to protect himself from another gang member. He didnt have a carry license. There is a little negligence. Negligence in the sense he was not being careful. Take the gun, hide it somewhere. Hide it where that child would not find it. Israel la salle doesnt want to blame him. But a loaded gun should never have been within his grandchildrens reach. Its stupidity, to keep something dangerous in the house where your family could get hurt. Evelyn holmes from our affiliate, thank you for that report. Well take a closer look at the legal aspects of this case in our next hour. Good morning. Im carol costello. Thank you for joining me. A showdown is brewing on capitol hill in a matter of days. Hilary clin lary clinton will t before a house benghazi committee. Lawmakers are expected to grill clinton about the attack in libya that killed four americans. Trey gowdy is sending a firm message to members of his own party when it comes to talking about clinton. Shut up. Listen to what he told cbs. I have told my own republican colleagues and friends, shut up talking about things you dont know anything about. Unless youre on the committee, you have no idea what weve done, why weve done it and what new facts we have found. We have found new facts, john, that have absolutely nothing to do with her. Congressman gowdy says clinton is one of many witnesses and his focus will be on emails sent by ambassador chris stevens, one of the victims in the attack, asking for more security. Hillary clinton says hell s s her best to answer questions from lawmakers. Ive already testified about benghazi. I testified to the best of my ability before the senate and the house. I will do my best to answer their questions, but i dont really know what their objective is right now. The benghazi attack is one of the many hotbutton issues lawmakers are expected to tackle this week now that congress is back in session. Cue the bickering over the budget. First things first, lawmakers have two weeks to raise the debt ce ceiling. The white house says it wont negotiate over the increase and wants congress to raise the borrowing limit. Lawmakers need to pass a new government funding plan which expires in december. One of the areas bound to come up, of course, the defense budget. My next guest is Senior Member of the armed house committee. Republican congressman mike of ohio joins me right now. Thank you, congressman, for coming in. Appreciate it. Thank you for having me. You wrote a letter urging lawmakers to stop kicking the can down the road when it comes to defense spending. Is that possible . Probably not Many Americans think it is. Certainly, we are somewhat having a showdown on capitol hill. As the president is asking for the debt limit to be raised, hes not in agreement as to what we should be spending. If you dont know what to spend, its harder. The president made an announcement hes going to keep troops in afghanistan. As we look to next year for 2016, hes not yet agreed to sign the National Defense authorization act that would fund the troops in 2016. The men and women in uniform need to know theyll have the equipment and funding necessary. We have a bipartisan bill headed toward his desk he says hell veto. Yet, he has committed that troops will be staying in afghanistan. As you well know, congress is in complete chaos right now, with the speaker situation and all that. How can there be any agreement between the parties while thats still going on . There can be agreement. The white house hasnt even appointed negotiators with a congress, as the president said hes not even going to negotiate. It doesnt matter what condition congress is in . Are republicans willing to negotiate with the president . Are you . We have to. In order for the system to work, all three parties have to come together. When the president says hes not going to negotiate it, he means hes not going to do anything. In order for us to come to a deal, in order for us to fund the troops hes going to keep in afghanistan and fund National Defense, we have to have negotiations and get a deal. Its difficult to believe anybody is willing to negotiate with anybody. Its a big game right now. Its sad because, youre right, we have men and women fighting overseas that we need to Pay Attention to. People need to come to the table. When the president openly says, i wont negotiate, i mean, hes basically saying, im not going to get the work done. The work has to be done. Arent some republicans saying the same thing . Absolutely not. With the act headed to his desk, its a bipartisan bill where there has already been negotiations. The number in the bill is the number the white house requested. All the debate occurred in the senate and the house. The president should sign the bill and support our troops that hes going to keep in afghanistan. That would be a great start for the white house to show the president is willing to do the work to fund the government, to do the rest of the negotiations to fund the government for 2016. Can we focus just a little bit on the speaker and who that new speaker might be . Do you have any guesses . No. John boehner now is the speaker of the house and will remain until a new speaker is chosen. Obviously, paul ryan is undertaking his consideration. Hed be an excellent candidate. Mitt romney came out and said ryan should stay away from the speakership if he wants to be president of the United States. Thatll be part of the considerations ryan makes. There are a number of people that can lead the house if paul says no. All the focus now is on paul ryan. These conservative republicans in the house that are throwing a wrench into things, are you frustrated with them . Wherever you have a body thats meant to be governed by the majority, and you have a minority seeking to govern and to affect the ability for the body to come to conclusion, yes, that is frustrations. I think its going to be something that has to be dealt with, as to how we get a governing majority to make decisions and do the work for the people of the United States. How . Tough have a firm agenda. The president open he saying he will not negotiate with congress on what is the important work that needs to be done that doesnt have anything to do it does. If were not sit ag croting acrm the president , were debating ourselves. If the president comes to the table in a meaningful way, signs the bill were sending to him next week, the National Defense authorization act that supports our men and women in the uniform, well have a signal the white house is a meaningful partner. Will you be watching the benghazi hearings . Trey gowdy is doing an excellent job. Hes the right guy to do this investigation. Its an important investigation, and i think it will be judged by the work product he delivers. Some say that the hearings have already been tainted because three republicans said this is just a partisan exercise to bring Hillary Clintons poll numbers down. What does trey gowdy have to do in that committee to make sure people dont think that . When anything is ongoing,pun. The real judgments two came from republican lawmakers. I think the real judgment is on the work product. Trey gowdy is the right guy to deliver a work product. Thats what we have to judge. There is a number of questions that are very important that need to be answered. His work will be important. Congressman mike turner, thanks for coming in . Thank you for having me.

The muslim teenager whose arrest sparked a National Debate about national profiling is expected to meet with president obama tonight. 14yearold Ahmed Mohamed was handcuffed at this Texas High School last month after the digital clock he made was mistaken for a bomb. Since then, he has become either a star or a bratty kid. Listen to hbos bill mahr. The teacher is supposed to see something that looks like a bomb and go, wait, this might be my White Privilege talking . We put a kid after school for a couple hours. This is not the end of the world. You know what the end of the world does happen all over the world for millions of muslims. So are the victims of other muslims. Where are the liberals on this . He left other critics in the dust. He met a queen, posting this picture to his twitter account. I stand with ahmed. Susan malveaux live at the white house. He is making waves around the world. Youre right, hes been meeting with world leaders. He is in the washington, d. C. Area. It is expected hes going to meet with the president. Theres no official confirmation buzz hes in the region. We saw him last night at a banquet, the American Islamic relations. Good company, with a nobel prize peace winner, as well as somebody we know well, a comedian. It is all a part of this champions for justice dinner they had last night. He is expected to be here. Now, something that has raised eyebrows, carol, is the fact that he was recently in sudan, and he met with the sudanese president. This is a man who is wanted for war crimes by the International Criminal court. It makes sense, however, to Ahmed Mohamed and his family, because his father is from sudan and ran against bashir twice and lost for the presidency there. All three got together. The current president , his father, as well as ahmed, for pictures, for a good time. They put their differences aside. There was some comments before that his father had criticized bashir in the past. They put that aside and had a good time. Now, we expect, of course, he is going to be here. He has expressed a deal of pride. Tweeting this out, saying, i am coming home. Tell the world, i am coming home. Sudan. He is feeling very good about his sudanese visit. Hes feeling very good about the white house visit, as well. This was the invitation that came by the president after the controversy, after he was handcuffed, when they thought that clock was some sort of hoax, some bomb. The president tweeting, cool clock, ahmed. Want to bring it to the white house . We should inspire more kids like you to like science. Its what makes america great. Thats what the white house, the president is thinking. This has opened a national dialogue, a national conversation, about islam phobia, about stereotyping, and also about encouraging kids to pursue their dreams. If thats engineering or science, dont let people get in the way of their own ambitions. The police and the teacher involved in that incident, carol, as you know, said they did not do this because he was muslim. There are other people who certainly believe that that was a part of the equation. Certainly, the white house weighing in on this. The event itself tonight, carol, it is called the white house astronomy night. The Second Annual event on the south lawn. Well see if he brings the clock. A lot of discussion about how hes treated, how others are treated, and supporting the kids. Supporting engineers, wouldbe engineers. Taking a look at some other top stories at 42 minutes past.

Its not what Bernie Sanders said over the weekend thats getting the buzz, its what larry david said as Bernie Sanders. You know what . Can i can i just jump in here . This may not be great politics, but i think the American People are sick and tired about hearing about your damn emails. The American People are sick and tired of hearing about your damn emails. Thank you. Me, too. Me, too. I would say thats pretty dead on by larry david, right . Bernie sanders took on the impression with what else . A joke to prove he does have a sense of humor. I am told that i dont have a sense of humor. So im going to start off with a joke. You ready for a joke . Here is the joke. My name is larry david, and bernie asked me to do this for him. Although it all sounds fantastic, sometimes, an appearance on saturday night live is a double edged sword. Hillary was a hit in this recent sketch, but the rest were not without controversial. Lets talk about that. With me now, host of reliable sources. Youre more than a political comedian. Thank you, carol. Finally. Fill in your resume for me. I write for daily beast and have an article about this going up right now. Hes an all around great guy. Thank you. I want to start with you, brian. Larry lessig, the harvard professor who says hes running for president , but i dont know if he is, he wants equal time. He saw Hillary Clintons sketch two weeks ago and sent a letter to nbc. There is this rule in the government regulations that says if hillary got 3 12 on snl, he might get the same. Its complicated, involves certain states. He has to prove hes a real candidate and hillary is a real candidate. Itll go back and forth. Donald trump is going to host. These same rules could help gop candidates. Lessig isnt trying to get on snl but hes trying to get his ads on nbc stations. He might succeed because clinton was on. In other words, if donald trump is going to host snl, why not jeb bush . Ben carson cant stay awake until 12 30. The letters go to the affiliates that air the show. Theres about 200 nbc affiliates. In states where trump is campaigning, like iowa and new hampshire, the main ones, they could say, i want to be on. In 2003, al sharpton was running for president in the race and had to put leiebermaliebermans halls on. Only in jurisdictions where theyre really a candidate. This law is barely ever applied. For lessig, it could be a big deal. Lessig is a scratch and people dont know hes running. If he can get ads on a few stations, it could make the difference between 0 and 1 . Interesting. Lets talk about the double edged sword these appearances can sometimes become. We all remember tina fey and sarah palin. When tina fey said, i can see russia from my house. Sarah palin never said that. If people dont understand the power of political comedy, that term, that line was quoted by people and added to the sense she was a lightweight on Foreign Policy and hurt her in the election. Larry davids Bernie Sanders was perfect. Talked about his policy, breaking up the banks, which is what sanders is for. Gives you a sense of the frugality of Bernie Sanders. If i was sanders, i would want larry david on weekly doing that impression. I thought he might have been watching at home cringing. I thought it was senatmart he s he loved it. In the same way Hillary Clinton tried to add that personification of her. She tried to own it two weeks ago. Sanders is trying to embrace larry davids impersonation. We have to play the tina fey thing. Okay. Heres tina fey. I believe that diplomacy should be the corner stone of any Foreign Policy. I can see russia from my house.

The sarah palin one was more cutting. It fed into a narrative, that she didnt understand the issues, and it made her a punch line. She went to a walking punch line. You dont want that if youre running for the second highest office. You see the tendencies of the snl writers coming through. They also want to make people laugh regardless of the politics.

Its not yet clear exactly what happened, but according to reports, kam rcameron matthews complained of feeling dizzy before fridays nature game in texas. This is disheartening news of a young man who was described as being strong in his faith. The sixth High School Football player to guy since early september. He reportedly told his teammates he wasnt feeling right. During huddle shortly before halftime while playing for Alto High School in texas. According to the School District he came off the field and things got worse. He collapsed, was given cpr and was transported via helicopter to a hospital 50 miles away. Tests showed he had minimal brain activity. He passed away yesterday afternoon. Theres a gofundme page to help ease the financial burden for his family. The superintendent said this, when you have your own children, you want them to emamulate someone. Now, lets take a look at last nights prime time game. The patriots perhaps wanting to pummel the colts for starting the but that didnt last. New england on their first drive of the second half. Tom brady to Rob Gronkowski for the touchdown. Gronk says, check the air pressure in that. Then down just six points, the colts let the air out of their own building when they bust out the trickery, attempting what some fans call the worst designed play in nfl history. Instead of punting, they shift the entire line and leave a receiver to play qb . They fail miserably. New england gets the 3427 win. Theyre now only one of five remaining undefeated nfl teams. Did you hear the lions won . I did hear the lions won. We have no more teams in the nfl without a win. Congratulations. Ya thanks. Appreciate it. The next hour of cnn newsroom starts now. Happening now in the newsroom new polls say Hillary Clinton won the debate and compliments from her husband. Thats the highest praise i can ever get. Sanders stays steady and this snl impression, the talk of the town. Here is the joke. My name is larry david. Plus, trump says he could have stopped 9 11 and bush fires back. For him it looks like hes the actor playing the role of candidate for president. They almost had him. Fugitive drug kingpin el chapo is captured and then escapes. Lets fauk live in the cnn newsroom. Good morning. Im carol costello. Thank you for joining me. Bernie sanders may have gotten all the buzz after last weeks cnn debate, but hes apparently not getting much of the love. Despite all the social Media Chatter declaring him the showdown winner, a poll says Hillary Clinton won, the first since the debate. More than 50 of democrats say clinton turned in the first performance. She gained three Percentage Points among democrats. Sanders picked up five points, but still languishes a distant second. Good morning. Good morning. As joe biden is weighing whether to jump into this race, some interesting numbers about what would happen if he decides to stay out of it. The advantage would very much go to Hillary Clinton. Check this out. 45 of those polled say that clinton is their pick for the nominee, but if biden is out of the race, that jumps up to 56 . You can see the advantages is not much for Bernie Sanders. 29 say he should be the nominee. That only jumps up 4 points to 33 without biden in the race. Look at Hillary Clintons favorables. This is interesting following this debate. 46 have a favorable view of Hillary Clinton. This is all americans who have this would represent all americans. All of those who have been polled. Thats up from 44 back in august. Her unfavorable at 50 , down three points, shes still under water on her favorable unfavorable. Take a look at the candidates on the issues, though. This is pretty fascinating. Hillary clinton has an advantage over Bernie Sanders on a myriad of issues, from Foreign Policy to health care to race relations. He does come close to her on income inequality, but thats really it. When you pit Hillary Clinton against the republican frontrunners, this is also significant what happens here. Among all voters, statistically she is tied with ben carson. You can see theyre running neck and neck there. She beats donald trump by five points. Theres a margin of error, a plus or minus three points. Thats pretty significant there that she would be besting trump. And i think the question or were seeing Hillary Clinton may not have gotten a bump from her debate performance. Thats pretty significant, but at the same time, youre seeing less democrats, carol, who want joe biden in the race. As hes weighing this decision, it makes you wonder if hes looking at these numbers that more democrats say you should not run for president than say he should. Interesting. Brianna keilar live from washington, thank you. Donald trump is standing strong on controversial comments he made about 9 11. The republican frontrunner insists hes not blaming former president george w. Bush for the attack but says 9 11 would not have happened on his watch because hes so tough on immigration. Listen to what he told fox news sunday. Well, i would have been much different, i must tell you. Somebody says, it wouldnt have been any different. It would have. I am extremely, extremely tough on illegal immigration. Im extremely tough on people coming into this country. I believefy were running things, i doubt those families i doubt those people swoo have been in the country, so theres a good chance those people would not have been in our country. With that being said, im not blaming george bush, but i dont want jeb bush to say, my brother kept us safe, because september 11th was one of the worst days in the history of this country. Jeb bush takes aim at donald trump, with jeb bush mocking trumps inability to run the military. Who do you talk to for military advice right now. Well, i watch the shows. I see a lot of great you know, when you watch your show and all of the other shows you said publicly that he watches cable news and thats one of the ways he bones up on our national security. Trump says he, quote, always felt i was in the military despite never serving in the military and draft deferments during vietnam. Donald trump is causing the race toward the bottom. Its delusional. Mr. Trump did not have a firm grasp of what was going on. I will be so good at the military, your head will spin. Joining me now, cnn military analyst Lieutenant General mark hurtling. Good morning. Good morning, carol. Did you like your cameo . It surprised me a built, to be truthful, because im trying to be as apolitical and to see yourself in an ad is a little disce discerning. Get used to it, because it will probably happen again. Lets talk about what trump said and jeb bushs response because jeb bush fired back at trump on cnns can state of the union. He othered our country and kept us safe. The great majority of americans believe that. I dont know why he keeps bringing this up. It doesnt show that hes a serious person as it relates to being commander in chief and being the architect of a Foreign Policy. Across the spectrum of Foreign Policy, mr. Trump talks about thing as though hes still the apprentice. So, did president bush keep america safe, general . I wont comment on that. I think he did. I certainly think we reacted well to the attacks of 9 11. What id say is im not a political operative. You are know me as a military analyst and attempting to be as apolitical as possible. Im judging the candidates how you judge leaders. Their character, the values they uphold and do they do the right things for the right reasons. Their presence, do they instill confidence in other people when they talk and when they act. Finally, their intellect. Do they have a depth of understanding of the issues and do they know whats going on . And those are the three areas im judging the various candidates on, most of my military brothers and sisters are doing the same. We see this as a requirement for commander in chief to be a great leader. Okay. Lets go back to donald trump then. He says his immigration policy would have prevented 9 11. A reminder for our viewers, all 19 hijackers from 9 11 were originally let into the country on temporary visas. Some overstayed their visas and were in the United States illegal. Heres what trump plans to do, why he would have prevented the 9 11 attacks. He plans to build a wall on our southern border to keep Illegal Immigrants out. He wants to increase fees on temporary visas. He wants to triple the number of i. C. E. Officers and birthright si citizenship. Could this immigration policy have kept those terrorists out of the country . I doubt it. First of all, those immigration policies, truthfully in my view, go against the values of who we are as americans. Weve always had that lady in new york harbor inviting people to our shore. Give us your tired, your poor, your huddled masses. It doesnt say im going to build a wall and keep everyone out. Thats one of the challenges i have, in particular, mr. Trump in this area. Could it have prevented 9 11 . I dont think so. Truthfully, when i president ial candidate proceed claims he or she might stop all evil from happening, its just a lack of understanding of what leaders are asked to do and how leaders are required to react to crisis. But it would be nice to think that somebody could have prevented such a tragedy. Ial a lot of americans are thinking for simple solutions. One of the hallmarks of mr. Trump and some of the other candidates is they like to give simple solutions. We live in a complex world with good society linked to american exceptionalism. I think its very difficult to say you would prevent all evil in the world. Thats in effect, what i think mr. Trump is saying he would do. Lets move on to ben carson because he said if bush would have used oil we would have caught Osama Bin Laden much sooner. I think they would have been extremely concerned if we declared, and we were serious about it, we would become petroleum independent because it would have major impact on their finances and i think that would trump any loyalty they have to people like Osama Bin Laden. But they didnt have any loyalty to Osama Bin Laden. The saudis kicked him out. He was their enemy. Well, you may not think they had any loyalty to him, but i believe otherwise. Sound like a good plan . Not to me, carol. Again, i go back to the three areas of leadership character, presence and intellect. Mr. Carson is a very smart guy. He wouldnt be a brain surgeon if he wasnt smart, but, you know, sometimes International Engagement is a lot like brain surgery but it requires a whole different skill set than the medical professional. I think his comments about what might happen if this or that occur, purely, its wrongly based. And i think its playing amateur and i think so the connection between saudi arabia and the terrorists, its living in an alternative universe. It doesnt work that way in international relations. Just a fennel question because i dont want to leave the democrats out. Is there anyone on the democratic side you think has a great plan to solve our countrys military problems at the moment . Well, im not sure what military problems we have. We certainly are being challenged in different parts of the world but thats those are all global issues and different everywhere you look. This takes a depth of knowledge and understanding of the patterns of whats going on globally. You cant just say one solution will solve all problems. Truthfully, i think our military is in relatively good shape except for the fact the congress has not passed a budget to help them out. So, i think we are defending our country well, but we are challenged all over the world with strategic implications that are going to require a true depth of understanding by our next president ial candidate. I didnt ask answer your question of who on the democratic side. Maybe thats something for a much longer conversation. Because im evaluating them in the same as character, and intellect. Well have you back for that. Thank you very much. Lawmakers are trickling back into washington today after a weeklong recess, but there may have been but there may be there may have been a little relaxation for House Republicans because they face this deepening concern over gop infighting and finding a new speaker who can keep them united. Today paul ryan is facing heat to decide, is he the person to lead the house . Cnn senior political reporter manu raju live in washington with more. Good morning. Reporter good morning, carol. Paul ryan, republicans are growing very anxious about what paul ryan will do. He spent the week in janesville, wisconsin, with his family, laying low, avoiding the spotlight and taking a lot of phone calls from members, people who are urging him to seek the speakership. Wednesday is a day in which hell have the first time to really sit down behind closed doors and meet with republicans who, as they weigh what to do about their further and their leadership vacuum. A lot of people are weighing in on what this may mean for paul ryans future, including mitt romney. Heres what he had to say yesterday. I see paul as one of the people coming along that has the potential to lead our country. If he became speaker of the house in the near term, thats also a crucial role. We need paul in two spots at once. There havent been a lot that have gone from speaker to the white house, so i hate to lose him as a potential contender down the road for the white house. Reporter hes only 45 years old and has a long career ahead potentially in politics. If ryan passes on this bid, and im hearing hell either make a decision this coming week or could extend into next week, and if he decides to pass on this, it could delay the consideration on the next speaker for several weeks. There haver up to 10, maybe 12 other candidates looking to get in. None have the votes on the floor to be speaker. John boehner could be in the speaker chair until republicans figure out who to select. On top of this, you have all these major fiscal issues this fall, particularly raising the debt ceiling november 3rd. There are major decisions republicans need to make and what paul ryan will do is on top of that list. Manu raju reporting live, thank you. The manhunt for el chapo turns bloody.

Reporter pull up your pants, pull up your tshirt, turn around, show your i. D. Thats the only way residents of the East Jerusalem palestinian neighborhood can get to the sister of the city, under tough new security measures imposed by the Israeli Government in the wake of a spate of stabbing attacks. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has repeatedly accused the Palestinian Authority, hamas and others, inciting the violence. Ask the palestinians at the checkpoint whats behind it all and they seem to say the same thing, the israeli occupation. The occupation sleeps on our chests, on our stomachs, says this 63yearold. Says this woman, occupation is oppression. Oppression and s. More than half million have settled in the west bank, mostly on confiscated palestinian land. Israel set up an extensive netted work and concrete blocks have gone up in East Jerusalem. Occupation means you have approximately 2. 5 million palestinians living for almost 50 years under military administration. Reporter the Palestinian Authority set up after the 1993 oslo accord has little authority beyond the confines of ramallah. Occupation is the major incitement of the people. People want to live normal life. They want to feel free. I did nothing wrong. Reporter former Palestinian Authority minister warns stopping the violence without addressing its causes wont cure the ills of this unhappy land. If you have cancer, they think advil can help you. It can be a pain relief for a short while, but its not it will not cure you. You need real medicine to cure you. And the real medicine here is the end of the occupation. Reporter the clashes here in hebron and elsewhere in the west bank deny. The attacks on israelis also continue. The last 30 years have been two major palestinian uprisings, before, between and after there have been many more flareups like this one going on right now. And in the absence of a final resolution to this problem, more flareups and more uprisings arent likely. Theyre inevitable. Expect more of the same, only worse. Ben wedeman, cnn, hebron, west bank. Mexican Officials Say they almost caught the notorious drug lord known as el chapo but he managed to escape with injuries to his chest and leg. The dangerous fugitive has been on the run since escaping prison this july. Rafael romo joins us with more. Good morning. Reporter good morning.

In chicago, another tragic incident of a child finding a loaded gun and accidentally killing someone. This time a 6yearold killed his 3yearold brother in a game of cops and rockers. The little boy found the weapon on top of the refrigerator. It was wrapped in pajamas. The boys father has been arrested and charged with child endangerment. The grandfather was watching the boys at the time. I look out and he was running up the stairs and he tells me somebody shot his brother, you know. And i told him, well, whos going to shoot your brother . Theres nobody down there. At the same time, i was running down the stairs and i seen him laying on the floor in the kitchen and i went and got him. Lets bring in cnn legal analyst phillip holloway. Good morning. Good morning. What is this father charged with . Hes charged with class three felony of child endangerment and in the law of this state, its a very, very broad classification. If a person causes or permits the life or health of a child to be placed at risk, and if a child does, in fact, die, it becomes that felony criminal offense, carol, carrying a maximum of ten years in the state penitentiary. If they can find any charges they want to tack onto that, it, of course, could increase his criminal liability. And i expect if hes convicted, he will spend some sometime, probably a long time, in prison. This father is a gang member and he bought the gun illegally to provide protection for his family. The bond is set at 75,000. Is it high because was a gang member or is that normal . Its probably high because if hes a gang member, i think its fair to assume, although we dont know, he may have a criminal history. Thats why i say i expect there might be additional charges that could be added to this if other crimes are uncovered. If hes a convicted felon, for example, and in possession of that firearm, that could be an additional charge. So the bond itself is probably bond he cannot make. Hes probably going to stay put while this case works its way through court. I just wondered because, you know, some people might say, oh, it was a gang member and he bought the gun illegally but this happens a lot. There was an article on october 14th in the washington post. Christopher ingram was the reporter. He went over past new reports of incidents like these and he found in 43 instances this year alone somebody was shot by a toddler. And by a toddler i mean a child younger than 3. In 31 cases, a toddler found a gun and shot himself or herself, injuring them. How often are parents charged in these cases . Sometimes theyre charged, sometimes theyre not. Its going to depend on the exact circumstances of how the gun was protected or the parent may have attempted to keep the gun away from the parent. Prescription medication, carol, carries warnings that say, keep out of rich of children. Same with household cleaning products. Any rational person with any degree of common sense knows dangerous instru meantalties need to be kept away from small children. The same holds true for firearms. Thats the first step in responsible gun ownership is knowing how and when to protect that firearm or to keep it away from children. If the facts and circumstances indicate theres anything close to criminal negligence that would meet the definition of child endangerment, parents should and frequently are charged. Phillip holloway, thanks for your insight. Checking some top stories at 33 minutes past. Police released these sketches of two suspects. One is the stabbing of a french train hero, spencer stone. Stone was left in Critical Condition after being stabbed multiple times outside a sacramento bar. He spent more than a week in the hospital recovering. A few months before stone was hailed a hero after helping take down a gunman. The leader ed of an Al Qaedalinked group was killed in the air strike led by the u. S. Coalition. Pentagon confirms he was killed in the air strike in northwestern syria. U. S. Officials calling his death a significant blow to al qaeda. Less than a week after the first democratic president ial debate, democratic voters agree, Hillary Clinton shined on stage. A new cnn orc poll shows the majority of democratic viewers thought clinton did the best job compared to rivals like berny sa Bernie Sanders. Good news for clinton, right . Maybe. That hasnt really changed her standings in the polls. She rose only three points since last month. So, did she do enough to earn voters trust . Joining me the center of politics, larry sabato and former president ial Campaign Manager for clinton, patti solace doyle. Thank you for being here. Thank you. Do you think clinton is happy with this poll . Absolutely. These are very good numbers for her. While the numbers didnt, you know, go up dramatically, she did accomplish what i think she needed to accomplish. That is she reassured her donors and Party Leadership that shes the one to back. She solidified her position as a frontrunner. She pretty much stopped the bleeding on the email controversy, thanks to assist of Bernie Sanders, and she stopped the will joe biden enter the race chatter. Do you agree with that rosy assessment . That is rosy but i would say on the hole Hillary Clinton had a very good debate and she solidified her position. People tune into debates to cheer for their side. Theyre perfectly capable of jg judging another candidate the winner but they dont change their position on the election. Remember, mitt romney won that first debate with barack obama, president obama, in the fall of 2012 by a mile. People thought he won that easily. But it didnt change the balance. Election. What interested me about the poll was the 18 for joe biden. The buzz is that joe biden is finally going to announce today or tomorrow whether hes getting in. If he does get in, hell probably get some additional points. That normally happens with an announcement. Its going to cut into Hillary Clintons lead dispreportionally. If he doesnt get in, i think that pretty much sets the democratic field, barring a disaster for Hillary Clinton. Shes going to be in a much stronger position for the nomination. On the other hand, patti, on the subject of joe biden, this poll also showed voters dont support him as much as they once did. That to me means people are getting a little tired of the waiting game. I continue to believe, if joe biden gets in, i agree with larry, hell be a formidable candidate. Hes a sitting Vice President. I cant even remember a time when a sitting Vice President seeking his partys nomination for the presidency didnt get it. I think there was one, maybe Harry Trumans Vice President , but he still needs to make this decision. The longer he waits, i dont think the problem is the patience of the Democratic Party. Its getting an organization up, raising the money, hiring staff. And its getting your name on the ballot. So, i really think he needs to make a decision soon. The other interesting thing about this poll, larry, is when you put Hillary Clinton up against ben carson, ben carson actually wins by just one percentage point. What do you make of that . Well, its a yearplus to the election. As we know, these polls never change. Look, obviously they will change enormously once theres more focus for the general electorate, on whoever the republican nominee is. Ben carson has a very sweet portrayal, its kind of yin and yang with donald trump whos boisterous and melodramtic. So, i think carson comes across better than trump does. I dont put much stock in the numbers a year ahead of the elections. How about you . I agree with larry. I think its too soon to tell. Its going to be a close race no matter who the nominee for the Republican Party or who the nominee for the Democratic Party is going to be. This countrys divided. All right, thank you both so much.

A group of College Students have a message for their campus leader stop flying mississippis confederateinspired flag. Students at ole miss will vote to see if the flag that bears the confederate symbol, will continue to fly. More from nick valencia. Reporter we spoke with student sophomore senator alan kuhn who says by tuesday he expects to have enough votes to get this resolution passed. He expressed disappointment with university officials, saying he didnt want the students to bring this forward. In the charming city of oxford, mississippi, relics of the confederacy are pervasive. This week the university of mississippi Student Body Senate will vote on a resolution to try to remove one of those symbols the Mississippi State flag. The explanation of why lies largely in the past. We are forever tied to the horrors of our past. Weve flown this symbol of oppression, we defended it, we fought for it, and its time to recognize that was a mistake. Reporter would we be having this conversation if nine people werent killed in a church . I think itesq esqucalated th conversation.

Even one student senator says theres more to be proud of here than not, which is why hes opposing the resolution to bring down the Mississippi State flag.
