The camera and lighting crews have arrived, the set getting finishing touches as you see right there. Youre looking at the last minute preparations at the Hofstra University debate hall where in just 30 hours Hillary Clinton and donald trump will approach those podiums for their very first debate of the 2016 election. Hello, everyone, thank you so much for joining me. Im Fredericka Whitfield live at Hofstra University in hem psted new york. The countdown is on. As if the stakes werent high enough, a new abc Washington Post poll shows clinton and trump in a virtual dead heat. Clinton with only a 2point lead among likely voters over the next two hows, well talk about the candidates preparedness and the three main topics they will debate. Lester holt will be questioning trump and clinton about quote, americas direction, achieving prosperity and securing america. Both candidates are off the campaign trail today but have separate meetings with israeli Prime Minister benjamin netanyahu. Clinton is hunkered down at a hotel near her home in chappaqua where she was seen working late into the tonight. Sources say clinton has been sparring with multiple standins from trump and multiple briefing books about his policies and personalities. Trump says he doesnt want to overprepare. He held a rally in fact in roanoke, virnlg vrnlg last night. Mostly clintons running mate tim kaine who represents virginia. Its trumps twitter feed that is giving us the most insight into what he may do monday night at the debate. After clinton supporter mark cuban taunted that he would be in the front row as a guest of clinton, trump tweeted this, if dopey mark cuban of failed benefactor fame wants to sit in the row perhaps ill put Gennifer Flowers alongside him, who infamously had an affair with then arkansas governor bill clinton, then told the New York Times she would indeed attend the debate. Trumps Campaign Says she will not be there. My colleague, jake tapper asked Trump Campaign manager if these are the types of head games that clinton can expect from trump. Can you confirm if Gennifer Flowers will be at the debate as a guest of mr. Trump . No, i cannot confirm that and cant believe how easily baited the Clinton Campaign was. Basically mr. Trump was saying, if mark cuban is going to send out texts, the humbling at hofstra, big down fall, then mr. Trump was putting them on notice, we could invite guests that may get into the head of Hillary Clinton. We have not invite her formally and dont expect her to be there as a guest of the Trump Campaign. I did think it was really odd one day after Hillary Clinton was of rebuffed by the mayor of charlotte to not to come to charlotte then they exercised poor judgment the very next day putting out a statement by the Clinton Campaign about Gennifer Flowers, that shows hes easily provoked. No, it was a Clinton Campaign. It was poor judgment. Well talk about the issues that face america. I can understand why Hillary Clinton wants a billionaire in front row, thats another monday night for her. Were taking the case directly to the American People tomorrow night. As a point of fact, both trump and clinton were talking about visiting charlotte and the mayor said they didnt have resources for either one to revisit. Its curious and viewers wondering, you think whats odd is the Clinton Campaigns reaction to donald trump tweeting about somebody that her husband had an affair with decades ago, not the fact that donald trump tweeted something about someone the nominees husband had an affair with decades ago. It seems odd that they would give it life and breath since you said three times in a row that governor clinton had an affair with her. I didnt say it but now a lot of americans but donald trump gave it life, did he not . He basically they could have left it at that. What he said if shes going to do this as way to bait him, perhaps hell invite Gennifer Flowers there or have her sit in the front row. I want to say, jake, the particular president ial debates are incredibly important so that he with can hear the visions of these two candidates, donald trump is on the stump every single day. Roanoke last night or four or five swing states this week giving policy addresses and talking about issues. Hillary clinton is running negative ads against him. You know what should be fact checked . The campaign saying she was going to become more uplifting and optimistic and aspirational. Its negative ad after negative ad and negative pieces of mail, get out the vote programs, were taking our case directly to the American People in this debate and every single day on the stump. But its hard to argue that donald trump hasnt been negative about Hillary Clinton. I want to ask you in fact, is he planning on bringing up bill clintons marital infidelity during the debate himself. This is something he discussed on Fox News Channel and other places an its something hes talked about in speeches. Mr. Trump will answer the questions as they are asked by lester holt the moderator and has a right to defend himself against anything that mrs. Clinton secretary clinton may say in response. So will trump use bill clintons extra Marital Affairs as fodder for tomorrow night and is the Clinton Campaign prepared for such a thing. Tapper asked clinton Campaign Manager. In the mock debates, are you preparing for anything . Are you preparing for the Gennifer Flowers of the world to be invoked . Jake, as you would appreciate, nobody knows which donald trump will show up to this debate and his erratic temperament has been a subject of quite a bit of discussion, i would argue why hes not fit and prepared to be president. But look, big picture, this debate is an opportunity for the American People to look at these two candidates and see which one of them is ready to be our next president and commander in chief. And i think the fact that donald trump is spending hours before this debate on the on this sort of thing is indicative of the kind of leader he would be and president he would be. I think its a warning sign before the debate has even started about Donald Trumps lack of fitness and bullying tactics that make him unfit. Former adviser david axe elrod who wants Hillary Clinton to win is concerned if Hillary Clinton spends a lot of tomorrow night attacking trump, that might not be enough for her to win the race. He told the Washington Post, quote, if trump finds a way to normalize himself, it can be a trap door. Going into this debate, do you think its more important for Hillary Clinton to sell her own vision or to paint donald trump as a threat, which could in doing so feed into her issues with likability and trust worthiness and honesty, et cetera . Im glad you asked this question. This is the heart of the matter. Every time that hillary has had an unfiltered opportunity to talk to the American People about not just what shes going to do, to make their lives better, the specific plans and policies that she has but also how her entire life and this campaign is part of a mission to help kids and families. Shes done better. Were really excited to have that opportunity. And to your point, im very concerned that donald trump will be graded on a curve. Just because he doesnt fly off the handle in the middle of this debate does not mean hes prepared to be president of the United States. He needs to have a coherent answers to the questions and needs to demonstrate a command of the issues and needs to roll out specific plans about how hes going to make life better for americans. I was a little surprised to here kelly ann imply that he has those plans. We havent seen them. He has a secret plan to defeat sis s isis, wont tell anybody what it is. Says he knows more than the generals, thats not a specific plan and not being transparent with the American People about what those plans are. We hope that will come out at this debate and want this to be an opportunity for hillary to deliver her message directly so that people can understand shes fighting on their side. Lets talk about all of this now, im joined by Cnns Phil Mattingly and reston and salaly cohen and we have lots to cover, dont we. Youve been covering this forea long time. The Clinton Campaign had to no this would be coming from donald trump . Absolutely. We dont know exactly what Donald Trumps plans are. There are tricky words in there that she wont be a guest of donald trump tomorrow night but perhaps someone else, who knows. I think donald trump likes to pump up the drama. One adviser to Hillary Clinton was saying to me last night, she will be ready for anything. Gennifer flowers in the front row, she will blow her a kiss and not be rattled shes ready for whatever he brings on. Phil, whats the feeling on how Hillary Clinton would steal herself for this . Clearly she enough known this was coming. He inty mated he might unleash this. Theres been preparations about these specific accusations, all of these contingency possibilities have been address add enyou ask how she prepares, by preparing. She hunkers down and spends a lot of time at the briefing books and advisers that makes her comfortable. Hillary clinton debated just about more than anybody on a stage this big in history. All the way back to high school. So theres a level of comfort there with the stage. I think the one concern is that she overprepares and gets into her own head about it. I think they are comfortable on this stage, its a matter of can they land what they need to land when they need to land it to make donald trump has robby mook was trying to point out, that he was not prepared or possibility to sit in the oval office. How could this be to the detriment of Hillary Clinton . I love you, fred, but even that question in this election cycle should strike us all as a little preposterous. Now because im not accusing you uniquely of this as were used to doing, we have to talk about both sides and Say Something about trump and clinton. Ask me a hard question about clinton. The hard question for clinton is she might over apparently donald trump he says he doesnt believe in overpreparing. Its like a mask for in in facing a candidate who is horrifically unprecedentcedenti unprepared to be president. The flip side, is Hillary Clinton too prepared . Its almost laughable reality. She may be too prepared for the debate like she is too prepared to be president. What a shame. John, this brings out it boils down to insulting, that theres a different standard. Why is it that Hillary Clinton would be overprepared an he could be under prepared and thats okay . They have different goals. What Hillary Clinton needs to do tomorrow, she needs to motivate the Obama Coalition to go out and vote. She needs minorities and liberals and needs people that went out and voted in 2008 and 201220 go out and vote for her. So far we dont know if thats going to happen. What trump has to do, he has to be the guy in mexico and look president ial and look like he belongs up there. He has to bring back some of those College Educated white women that voted for mitt romney that have reservations about him this time around. Hes already done that with men and needs to close the deal with women. What does looking president ial look like when youre on the debate stage . You need to be in command of the facts and look like the type of guy who would have a sober take on a world event that happened at 3 00 in the morning and you would have the countrys best interest taken care of. You make me laugh, these expressions kill me. Im trying to hard to tone them down. Politico just did a report, looked at donald trump for five straight hours. He told a lie, a lie an average of every three minutes and 15 seconds. So i do think part of this is a question for lester holt, is he going to do a good job treat the candidates fairly. If he lies more, hold him accountable more. Looking president ial isnt being able to show up and say a few names of stand president s without tripping over yourselves but being able to show the American People that youre ready, that you have the temperament and the expertise and experience of this job. I dont know how donald trump can show up and do that because that isnt who he is, he is fundamentally unqualified. So much of the on us will be on Hillary Clinton to be doing this real time fact checking. Weve been covering donald trump for a long time youre saying its more incumbent on her to do that to correct as opposed to the moderator. If she wants to win the debate she better be prepared to do that. A lot of times at Donald Trumps rallies when he said things that are inaccurate, theres no one there to call him out. Thats why she has been preparing so carefully for each of those things to call him out on the facts and thats the way in which they think they can sort of expose what they see as why does that potentially undermine Hillary Clinton that people will say shes being too wonky, if shes coming across too studied by correcting him, that that could potentially cost her support. I think this is the primary frustration in the Clinton Campaign. Sally hits at it to a t. That could be problematic. Her fluency on the issues, the preparation involved, a lot of go tos he says over and over on the campaign trail that weve repeated stated are completely incorrect or a lie. Theyve been preparing for her to have counters to those as they come. The concern you hear rolling around a little bit, will that make her look unlikeable . Does that hurt her numbers . The Clinton Campaign scoffs at that idea, her ability to command issues, command a response to donald trump when he tries to put out things that arent true will only serve to benefit her. There are people in the party concerned about absolutely everything. One of those is the fallout for that. Were going to talk more about this. Appreciate all of your points of view. I know theres more. Well get to that and of course you can see the first president ial debate here on cnn tomorrow night, 9 00 eastern, our coverage begins 4 00 eastern. Dont miss any of it.

Im joined again now by Cnns Phil Mattingly and sally kohn, a clinton supporter and phillips, a trump supporter. We have a nice excited crowd back there. This is the prelude to what well be experiencing tomorrow. Mave, you first, were talking about the measuring sticks are different for Hillary Clinton and donald trump, weve seen it on the campaign trail. Some anticipating the same will be said for the debate stage. Clintons Campaign Manager robby mook says nobody wants to see donald trump graded on a curve. Right. That is one of the biggest concerns in the Clinton Campaign right now and among allies, theres such a low bar for donald trump that they are very worried that if he is calm and cool and collected up there and there arent those Gennifer Flowers antics hell come away with good headlines on next day. There are so many voters still undecided and we have to remember that. Many more than were undecided at this point in 2012. And he does have an opportunity to reintroduce himself tomorrow night. With me with so many eyeballs there are going to be people believe it or not who have not been following every twist and turn like us . So phil, these candidates are mindful that they are trying to appeal to the undecided voters, not necessarily speaking to their base, speaking to their core support. Look at the numbers, they are staggering, they have 100 Million People watching and 70 to 80 say they are for sure going to watch im from ohio, got a lot of buddies who are football crazy, dont care about the election. Mock ive been doing this for the last 15 months, all will be watching the debate tomorrow night not monday night football. John made a good point last segment, they are reefing out to the independent voters and also reaching out to their bases and they need to rally their folks and make sure they can bring their coalitions together. Theres a dual prong approach to this. The bottom line, there are a ton of people watching and eyeballs and people are really paying attention. Its a huge moment. This is a super bowl of politics. John, which donald trump does donald trump want undecided voters to appeal to . Donald trump has done very well in these debates. I dont know why the Clinton Campaign there are several faces of donald trump. America and supporters have seen that. Undecideds now, how does he call attention and win their hearts . Its going to be the donald trump that has seen the bounce in polls the guy after the candidate after roger alz and others made him stick to the script, the guy within two points of Hillary Clinton if you believe the Washington Post poll and beating her in several purple states, swing states. If he sticks to that, think hell do okay. I think it would be a huge mistake to go back to the mark cuban thing. If she were to bring mark cuban and have him sit in the front row, you create a circus like atmosphere. You see that as tanamount to the Gennifer Flowers . As the primary debates, whenever people would go toe to toe with donald trump, they would see their numbers drop and his goes higher. If she tries to mix it up in that way, i think that plays to his advantage. Sally . Im going to need more alcohol. Later, not right now. For tomorrow night. First of all the idea he would attack the first major female candidate of a major Party Running for president based on the who rid indiscretions of her husband and bring that personal pain public again not only offensive but like will back fire. Not a sacrifice of female followers and voters . Will trump do it . Probably because he cant help himself. Should he have attacked the family of a brave man that died fighting if country . No, he shouldnt have. I dont care which trump shows up, i want the trump aall along to be held accountable. The other thing, as crazy as it sounds that we talk policy. Want to hear about Hillary Clintons record of fighting for families and children throughout her career and plans to continue to support the middle class and working families in this country and like donald trump to be press on the fact that he has no policy specifics or details whatsoever he has outlined and needs to be held accountable. That is where the pressure is in large part due for lester holt. He has to keep them to the 90 minutes in talking about americas direction achieving prosperity, securing america. All right, thanks to our panel of the were going to stop for now but pick this conversation up a little bit later. Thanks so much, everybody, of course you can see first president ial debate here at cnn tomorrow night 9 00 eastern time. Our coverage begins at 4 00. Straight ahead, Charlotte Police releasing tapes of the deadly encounter rather with Keith Lamont Scott. That doesnt stop another round of fiery protest in that city, what the videos show and whether they clear up any Unanswered Questions and what they dont show.

See what a Raymond James advisor can do for you. Welcome back to hofstra, thanks so much for joining us, more predebate coverage in a moment. Now to breaking news out of charlotte, north carolina, where anger over the shooting death of Keith Lamont Scott is spilling into the streets again today. Protesters gathered outside of bank of America Stadium locking arms and chanting ahead of todays game between the Carolina Panthers an minnesota vikings. Todays protest comes a day after Charlotte Police release two videos showing their deadly encounter with Keith Lamont Scott. We want to warn you that some of these images are very disturbing and one of the videos is from an officers body camera as he arrives at the scene and for a moment you can see scott in the blue pants and when he comes back into the frame, he is then on the ground. He has a blue shirt, rather. The other video is from a different perspective of a police car dash camera. You can see scott getting out of the car starting to walk backwards before he was shot. Police say there are several other videos but those are the most relevant, according to police. I want to talk more about this with retired Los Angeles PoliceSergeant Cheryl Dorsey and criminal defense attorney and former Police Officer phillip holloway. Cheryl, to you first, how does the release of these two videos and images, fill in blanks for you or perhaps leave gaping holes for you . Well, it just really explains what the police chief had prepared us for and thats the video is not conclusive with regards to what the officers statements are. I dont see any furtive movements by mr. Scott prior to them firing their weapons. And i dont see any criminal activity that was occurring based on the statement that was released yesterday that was so exigent that these officers should have left a surveillance location to drive some distance away and put on vests that say they are the police and come back to engage mr. Scott. This thing could have been handled so differently. I think it would have been better had they just called black and white and maintained their position of surveillance and cover and allow another unit to deal with mr. Scott. This thing as hes walking backwards, i dont see his hands raised. He takes three steps and then he drops. Its inappropriate. The Police Version of events is that he was seen in the vehicle and rolling a marijuana blunt and may have been a brandishing a weapon and thats what inspired these officers who were working undercover on another case, what inspired them to get out of the vehicles and pursue them in this manner. Phillip, is all of that justifiable based on what you saw in the videotape . Ill first start by saying our sincere con doleances to the scott family. As the guests have said is correct, we did not see any actual furtive movements in a traditional sense, however, the Supreme Court of the United States told us in 1989 in awful police use of force separations they are to be viewed from a perspective of objective reasonableness. Put yourself in the position of the officer who is on the scene. Now, these videos dont do that. Certainly the dash cam video doesnt do that. Hes not seen raising what may be a gun in his hand. He might have been considered by the officer behind the pickup truck to be circling around behind the truck and lets face it, Police Officers do not have to wait until someone starts shooting before they can take action to save their own life if they truly perceive their life is in danger. Cheryl, police say that he was brandishing a weapon. We end up seeing still images of a weapon and a holster but not on the body of mr. Scott. How troublesome is that . Well, you know, listen, the Supreme Court has also told us that a black man does not have any right that a white man must respect. So the fact that they say hes brandishing a weapon in an open carry state and the fact that the officers are now saying they observed him roll a joint, is problematic for me because i dont smoke marijuana and dont roll joints but i do know all of that activities happens in your lap. Im not sure how these officers were able from their position seated in their car to see mr. Scott rolling a joint and then conclude that thats activity criminal activity occurring so egregious and outrageous they need to leave their posts to deal with that. It doesnt jive, fredericka. If i can respond to that why wouldnt Police Release video that substanciates a threat, im not a Police Officer nor an attorney, but its difficult to see where he looks like he is exhibiting threatening behavior based on the videotape that was released. Well, thats an easy one because its threatening behavior when youre told multiple times over 30 or 40 seconds to drop a gun and rather than dropping the gun you get out of your vehicle we dont see the gun. Thats my point. Thats at the root of this argument though and this is why tensions are the way they are. In the video you do not see a weapon on this person, mr. Scott. Thats what i mean. Why would police not reveal or show to substantiate the claim that she was brandishing a weapon that there was a threat . Why would that video that was released not show that . Well because, fredericka, they released the video fill ip first. They told us those are the best they have. The videos you cant clearly see what if anything is in his hand. It looks like theres something there. The police have said its a gun. But we need to wait until the entire investigation is complete before we draw any firm conclusions. We cant jump to this emotional knee jerk narrative that this was someone simply reading a book because that has been i think mostly discredit d at this point, not before it caused riots and loss of life but we have to wait until the entire investigation is complete to see what other witnesses have said they saw and see what the other officers have put in their report and see what other videos may or may not show. We have only seen a small piece. We need to wait for it all. Cheryl . And so fredericka, what were going to find in the other officerss statements is that its going to be very similar to what the officer who discharged his weapon is going to articulate and that is that they were in fear, there was a threat, we understand, to match up with the video, much like in the case of walter scott, had we not had the video recording, we would have had to take the word of Michael Schrager that walter scott had grabbed his taser and about to shoot him with it. But for the video in the came of sam die dubois, we would have had to take the word that he was being run over by sam dubois and thats why he fired his weapon. Were going to have to take the word of these officers that somehow mr. Scott made afurtive movement, which we dont see. He didnt something threatening, which we dont see. We dont see him raising his hands and its going to be based on their statements and their statements alone. Great deference is given to what Police Officers say. That much i agree on. Great deference is given to what Police Officers say, yes. The Supreme Court says we must do that. All right, well continue to conversation. Thank you so much, well be right back. With my moderate to severe ulcerative colitis, the possibility of a flare was almost always on my mind. Thinking about what to avoid, where to go. And how to deal with my uc. To me, that was normal. Until i talked to my doctor. She told me that humira helps people like me get uc under control and keep it under control when certain medications havent worked well enough. Humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. Serious, sometimes fatal infections and cancers, including lymphoma, have happened; as have blood, liver, and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening Heart Failure. Before treatment, get tested for tb. Tell your doctor if youve been to areas where certain fungal infections are common, and if youve had tb, hepatitis b, are prone to infections, or have flulike symptoms or sores. Dont start humira if you have an infection. Raise your expectations. Ask your gastroenterologist about humira. With humira, control is possible. I thodid the ancestrydna toian. Find out im only 16 italian. So i went onto ancestry, soon learned that one of our ancestors was eastern european. This is my ancestor who i didnt know about. Ive from natures bounty to support my heart. Eating better, keeping healthy. So that no matter what happens in the future, my future self will thank me. Thank you 45 years of experience has taught us no matter what the future holds, youre always better off healthy. Natures bounty welcome back to Hofstra University in new york, site of tomorrow nights first president ial debate. On the eve of tomorrow nights president ial debate showdown, the expectation game is in full swing. Back with me to discuss this cnn political commentator sally kohn, a clinton supporter and John Phillips a trump supporter. Good to see both of you again. The Clinton Campaign has been hitting trump hard with ads and its just full force, perceived connections to russia and his issues with women voters. Lets take a look. Id look her right in that fat ugly face of hers. Shes a slob. She ate like a pig. A person whos flat chested is hard to be a ten. Does she have a good body . No. Does she have a fat [ bleep ] absolutely. Trumps use use of trumps words in Hillary Clinton campaigns, doesnt have to be a whole giant narrative, no tracking et cetera, is it effective . This is typically the point of the campaign where you hit them with the kitchen sink. You go in with whatever attack you have and hit them with that and voters see it for the first time and move the polls. Well its a replay of his own jargon. Their hyperbole is blunting this stuff. He said the guy is a nazi, klansman, all he has to say is prove hes not charles manson. How does he combat these images, young ladies and language hes using to describe women in that particular campaign. Its pretty hard hitting. The problem is its old news. Theyve been saying this exact thing for months and months. You dont think he has to work hard to change that message, to come up with plans or reveal something about you know, a change of thought or apologies, nothing like that. No, i think hes got to do what hes going to do and ignore this. This has been out there. That debate where he said that about Rosie Odonnell was the most watched debate in primary history. People know he said it. Yet, hes two points behind. The numbers keep going up. First of all, the Clinton Campaign certainly clinton herself has not said the things you alleged were talking about his own words and youre trying to contrast them with various untethered supporters, number one. Thats a false comparison which is the definition of this election and second of all, do you have kids . I do not. I do. I have a daughter. And shes the age of the little girls in that commercial. Im sorry, but i dont care if it helps or hurts in the polls, what he said is unacceptable for someone running to be president of the United States politics is hardball. Im sorry, john, how can you sit here and tell me that my daughter, my 8yearold whos going to watch the tv and could see this man as president , someone we should respect and look up to and thats the way he talks about women . You can go back to the way bill clinton has treated women and the way the Clinton Campaign and Hillary Clinton suppressed bill clinton is running right now. And but little girls will hear those stories too. Were talking about things that donald trump has said and will not apologize for you just said he should apologize for. Its okay for my little girl to hear him call women fat pigs and slobs. She has network television, shes see far worse. I dont see how we can lower the bar for presidency. Who cares if he doesnt know anything about Foreign Policy or knows more than the generals or insults little girls and immigrants. I care and American People should care. Each candidate they repeat this stuff, john. To say this is the narrative, this is the message, this is the mantra that i now want to help control this debate, what will Donald Trumps be versus what might Hillary Clintons be tomorrow night . Hes going to hit on the same themes hes been hitting on throughout the campaign, talk about securing the border and talk about aggressively going after isis and talk about moving away from the traditional republican position on trade. And that is what has galvanized blue collar voters and brought all of these to the party to watch primary debates and vote where we saw record turnout. Hes going to hit those again. Setting tone is really important when they take to the debate stage. What do you anticipate for Hillary Clinton . I think Hillary Clinton will reintroduce the American People to her story. Folks feel like theyve known Hillary Clinton for a long time but may not know everything shes done fighting for equality in schools and to help families who dont have enough to feed their kids. Reintroduce them to her story and her plan how shes going to actually help not only bring jobs back but good jobs with good wages and benefits and shes going to do it in a way where she doesnt act like a school kid. Shes going to talk about these things sally just discussed and people left behind, which was a theme she used in the primary, donald trump has to answer the question, left behind by who . Their party, the Democratic Party has been in charge for the last eight years. Why were they left behind . All right, john, sally, thank you so much. We appreciate it. Of course, you can see this first president ial debate right here on cnn tomorrow, 9 00 eastern time. Our coverage begins at 4 00. And well be back in a moment. Yeah.

Welcome back to the campus of Hofstra University in new york, the site of tomorrows first president ial debate. Late night comedy shows used to be the place where candidates try to look a little more like the rest of us. In 2016, the welcome mat can be a little slippery. Here is jake tapper. Can i mess your hair up . When tonight shows Host Jimmy Fallon disrupted Donald Trumps hair instead of confronting the candidate, things got messy. I guess because ratings matter more than brown people. You say some shocking things. Critics say fallen could have asked trump why he was pushing a lie about the president s birthplace for five years, the news of the day leading up to the interview. By ignoring the poop, nbc n condoned a demagogue. Samantha bee broke from general late night protocol and went after fallon. Sure, hes making life dangerous for muz islims and immigrants, but hes good entertainment. Reporter this bit from nbcs late night with seth meyers aired after the faux pas. You dont get to pedal racist rhetoric for five years and decide when its over. We decide when its over. Reporter seth meyers is well versed in the art of diplomacy. He said it is good to have both kinds of shows on air. I think it is important that the airs still exist for people who want to tune out politics for a night. I think jimmy does it better than anybody. Fallon joked with Hillary Clinton about the trump interview. He left these for you, softballs. No, that was my gift to him. Thats what i gave him.

Heard some details about how Hillary Clinton has been preparing this weekend, being in a hotel with a number of advisers until the wee hours of the evening.
