And as we talk about race and donald trump reaping out donald trump reaching out to the africanamerican community, Hillary Clinton still beating him at 95 . Thank you, mark preston. Lets get more on all of this with Chris Collins in new york. He was the first member in new york to endorse donald trump. Mark, thanks for being with us. Its great to be with you, brianna. Thank you. I want to ask you about taxes. Your people hardworking in your district. What do you say to them beyond how you get around taxes by not paying them . I dont think anyone cares about Donald Trumps taxes more than they care about Hillary Clintons affairs. Can i stop you there, because polls actually indicate that they do. In fact, a a majority believes donald trump is hiding something by not doing it. We will agree by. What im saying, all of us, donald trump, you, me, warren buffett, all paid. I dont know anyone that checks a box ask sends more than the federal gov. And i imagine you would say that not be smart business, that perhaps you could take more deductions. But when youre talking about someone there at, say, topps, your local Grocery Store there, the assistant manager at one of the branches. Would you say to them that its right that they have paid more in taxes than donald trump . I think there is a good chance that a manager at a supermarket is not paying federal taxes. That aside, donald trump pays what he is supposed to pay. All of us do that. The tax code is very complicated. Again, i dont think it matters. You do. But i also think what really does matter is jobs, the economy, immigration, security. Who is going to stand up to Vladimir Putin . And the other issues which Hillary Clinton continues to not setting little personality. She doesnt have a positive me say sanl. All of us. He has not been forthcoming about his tax returns. You say people dont care. Its not that i care, the polls show people do care. This was taken before that New York Times report where they released the 1995 state return. And this shows us some pretty you cant argue with 57 . Hes hiding something. Again, thats up for the next five weeks. Im many. This country has been going in the wrong direction for eight years, and the only one standing up for change is donald trump or theyll have to accept status quo, which is Hillary Clinton in an economy thats not moving, someone who cant be trooused who has put our National Security at risk and doesnt, frankly, have solutions to much of anything. While she will keep harping at this, i dont believe the voters, when they go to vote on november 8, thats going to be their deciding point. There is a lot of things significantly more important than this. Thats what were going to focus on in the next five weeks. You say hes not hiding something. So why doesnt he just release his tax returns, then, if hes not hiding something . Especially if hes saying that he was smart with the way he paid his taxes. You have Rudy Giuliani, you have Chris Christie saying. How do you know hes not hiding something, if you havent seen it. Ive said from day one he shouldnt release his taxes and give gftal. The competitors are on his tax return to be clear, this isnt for the Trump Organization of the this tax return. This is his personal tax return. Let me tell you whats not on his tax return. Mitt romney released it and he was somewhat of a business experience. Why not . Why not do that . Sureme. That was a decision he made. Donald trump made a different decision. I support his decision because you should not give confidential information to your competitors. But thats a decision donald trump has made, and were just going to continue to focus on the issues, and if people want to harp on tax returns, were going to win this election because they care about securing our borders, creating jobs and asking who is going to stand up to Vladimir Putin in north korea, but certainly not Hillary Clinton. You said its confidential information. It is, because he keeps it confidential. He has the choice to release this. In response to this New York Times report, he just said this is clearly something hes concerned about and the Great Recession of the 90s was worse than the Great Depression and almost worse than the depression if im asking you why he thinks business is bad, when it wasnt actually bad, he just did poorly that year . In fact, his losses account per 2 of his companys losses file through that sort of loophole or part of the tax law. 2 on his own. I go back and say who cares . What they care about is who is going to create jobs, stand up to Vladimir Putin you dont say if someone was saying in 1985 the economy was basically in recession. Many. Well, every market is different. Atlantic city is different thon thoemtz. It was very lucrative, skprg it at a time that did not reflect what would have been a downturn for him personally. Even if thats the case, who cares . That was 21 years ago. Who cares . What matters today is what were going to do to stand up to Vladimir Putin, create jobs and secure our borders. That was 21 years ago other than the liberal press and Hillary Clinton who dont have a common message to deliver to america. To the personality conflicts. Lets do it. I think.

We have our exclusive cnn poll that shows Hillary Clinton five points ahead of donald trump with just five weeks to go before election day. First lets get an update on the Clinton Campaign with cnn National Correspondent suzanne malveaux. Hillary clinton has been talking about possibly donald trump couldnt have paid taxes for almost 20 years. Really, Hillary Clinton and the whole team are not taking Donald Trumps bait here. Theyre not addressing any talk regarding in fidelity. Clinton has identified what she sees as a real opportunity here. Thats with regard to the 1995 tax returns which she believes is a window to his archaracter d also his business skills. What kind of genius loses a billion dollars in a single year . Reporter Hillary Clinton delivering a onetwo punch at donald trump today over his 1995 tax returns, knocking the gop candidate on his tail in ohio over a bombshell report in the New York Times that trump claimed a lot of 916 million that year, which could have is allowed him to avoid federal income taxes for 18 years. He has been dissing america. He calls it a military disaster. Well, it might not have been if everybody had failed to pay taxes to the men and women in uniform. And bashing a tv ad. If he thinks that makes him smart, what does he think of you . How stupid are the people of the country . Clinton is campaigning in ohio for the First Time Since labor day. With a new Quinnipiac University poll showing her trailing trump by five points in the buckeye state. Today she basked in the endorsement of one of ohios favorite sons, lebron james. I hope to become president , but i know here in ohio, lebron will always be the king reporter the democratic nominee is trying to draw a contrast with trump on the economy, portraying him as out of touch with hardworking americans. Trump represents the same rigged system he claims hes going to change. This as trump continues to raise bill clintons past infidelitie infidelities, among Gennifer Flowers in 1972. If someone is willing to pay you and you get your twenty seconds of fame on every newspaper and youre a cabaret singer who doesnt even have much of a resume to fall back on. I think its fair game. Hillary clinton has done quite a job on attacking the people who were victims of bill clinton. Trump is also seizing on an audio recording of clint onts comments from a february fundraiser obtained in a hack from Hillary Clintons emails which claims to take Bernie Sanders supporters. Hillary clinton thinks Bernie Sanders supporters are hopeless and ignorant basement dwellers. Reporter sanders says its important to look at Hillary Clintons entire message. A very important point that she made was how many young people that went into debt, worked very hard to get a good education, get out of school and cant find jobs commiserate with the education they received. Saturday night live having fun with the first clintontrump encounter. She broke it with obama. She and obama stole my microphone. They took my microphone to kenya and they broke it and now its broken. Secretary clinton, what do you think about that . I think im going to be president. Clinton could be in trouble in ohio. She doesnt have to win in ohio but its a state that went to president obama in 2008 and 2012. A poll shows she has made significant gains when it comes to male voters, independents and even those whites who do not have College Education degrees as most ardent supporters. She was struggling and doing a little better now. We are back with congressman Chris Collins. He is a donald trump supporter and also a member of congress. I want to ask you about something that i wonder this issue of bill clintons infidelities. Because this is something that donald trump alluded to, perhaps bringing up at the next debate here in less than a week. Do you think that hes going to bring that up . Well, frankly, i would not even though some of the allegations against hillary actually do matter. I think the very people where hillary is talking about the economy and the lack of jobs, thats the barack obama economy that hasnt budged in eight years, where our jobs have been stolen by china and mexico. Its donald trump that will bring them back so when Hillary Clinton calls half of america or half of the republicans deplorables and calls Bernie Sanders supporters the basement dwellers, a lot of this has to do with an economy that has been stagnant, has not proved the way it should, donald trump as antsz to that, so america is looking to see who is the change agent. Who is the status quo. Hillary is definitely the status quo. Shes talked again and again, would like and some other states where nafta devastated those areas. So as we move forward, i think we all just have to look at theie electoral college. Donald trump wins iowa, wins pennsylvania. Hes our president if he wins nevada, iowa and New Hampshire, hes our president. When you look at colorado, michigan, virginia that are in play. The National Polls dont mean anything, its a race for theie electoral college. There are many ways for donald trump to get there, and really what matters is ohio where hes leading, North Carolina where hes leading, florida where hes leading. Hes got to pull out pennsylvania or the other avenue again, nevada, iowa and New Hampshire where hes doing fine or pick up colorado, michigan, or virginia. I think thats where well be on november 8. So you obviously want him concentrating on those issues, and well see if he does jobs, the economy, secure the borders, who is going to stand up to Vladimir Putin. We need to talk about the issues and the change that he will bring to america, change that is so desperately needed. Congressman Chris Collins, thank you so much for talking with us. Always good to be with you. Always good to have you. Hillary clinton on the rise in some key battleground states. That includes florida. Yes. You know, that reminds me of geicos 97 Customer Satisfaction rating. 97 . Helped by geicos fast and friendly claims service. Huh. Oh yeah, baby. Geicos as fast and friendly as it gets. Woo geico. Expect great savings and a whole lot more. You dont want to ride the 13l checkiforever, do you . Ore . Credit karma huh . Yeah, its free. Credit karma. Give youself some credit. This hours breaking news. Donald trump just responded to the New York Times report on his taxes telling a colorado crowd that he, quote, brilliantly used the tax laws. The justreleased poll shows Hillary Clinton leading donald trump in the polls, 47 to 42 . Other polls show clinton on the rise in some pretty important swing states. Lets bring in the experts to talk about this. We are going to deal with Donald Trumps explanation or what he seemed to be addressing in this report, but jim, i want to ask you first about this line. Donald trump said today, look, i have brilliantly used the tax system after the New York Times put out his 1995 tax return, state tax return, that showed he took a 916 million loss which would have allowed him to not pay taxes for about 18 years after that. Do people in the campaign really believe that, that this was brilliant . You know, that was Rudy Giuliani and Chris Christie were using the word genius over the weekend. Donald trump just a few minutes ago said he was brilliantly using the tax code. I was talking to a donald trump source earlier this afternoon who was saying we might be able to get ahead of the narrative here if there werent all these negative stories out there and some of them are deserved. This is what theyre dealing with right now. But in the words of this adviser, he thinks that donald trump and the rest of the campaign should talk about this this way, which is a lot of americans out there would use the tax code to their advantage and do what they can to minimize their tax abilities. Questioning whether trump tax might be the. I think the question is moving forward, can he somehow escape this new cycle that is just spiraling downward for him. It was going on all last week and its continuing into this one. He needed to recover after a bad week and this monday certainly wasnt he was hoping for. We just heard congressman collins and he about the tax return thing, he said, who cares . People care, though, right . Dont they care . For most voters this is a concern. It might not be their biggest concern in this race. Certainly there is a long precedent for candidates for president releasing their tax returns, so people have come to expect this as part of the president ial election process. And with donald trump in particular, i think these questions about some of his business investments, his charity, his charitable donations and the organization itself and now, of course, his tax returns and the amount that many he laz paid in taxes, all these have been persistent questions that have been pushed out there by Hillary Clinton. And democrats have been discussed in the press so people wonder, what is there to know about his tax returns . We dont even have the full story even with this latest disclosure. We sure dont. Hes told us all along that hes good with business, that hes going to bring that to the white house and help our country. Does it hurt that assertion maybe not with the people that support him, but what about these people who are undecided snd. Potentially, yes, and not because he didnt pay his taxes allegedly for 18 years, but more the fact that he lost a billion dollars in a single year. That goes to the heart of his campaign, that he is a businessman who can run on building up companies and building a Major Company that produced jobs and by having this major loss. A billion dollars, which is comparable to the size of a gdp in some countries, thats pretty significant. Its something that youll have to answer going forward. But i do think on the issue of how he dealt with it today in pueblo, colorado saying this is the way the system works. I dont want to pay as much as i am required to pay. That is an argument that actually probably republicans could listen to, could believe because they dont want to pay taxes. They think taxes are mishandled in washington, revenue is mishandled. The big concern potentially is losing more than a billion dollars. I wonder if our shack absorbers are so worn down in this cycle. The other thing going for donald trump right now is donald trump. Every one of these stories outlearn. You guys are going to stick around with me for more after the break. Coming up, theres more from saturday night live in the clintontrump debate. Jazz man. Ive got an answer for this. Our jobs are fleeing this country. Theyre going to mexico. Theyre going to gina. If hillary knew, she would have won the debate. I won just like i promised and it is over. Good night, hofstra. Even from thousands of feet above. Because safety is never being satisfied. And always working to be better. What if we designed a paint because safety is never being satisfied. That not only made your bathroom look like a spa but stood up to the humidity of a shower this steamy. This steamy yep, even this one. If its a matte finish paint, and can resist any amount of moisture, is it still paint . Find aura bath spa, only at your Benjamin Moore retailer. We are back with our political experts digging into the breaking news. I want you guys to take a look at something donald trump did over the weekend. He imitated Hillary Clinton stumbling while she had pneumonia. Lets watch. Heres a woman. Shes supposed to fight all of these different things, and she cant make it 15 feet to her car. Give me a break. Give me a break. Give me a break just seems so odd for someone who is running for president. I know weve seen donald trump, he does his own thing, but i wonder what he achieves and maybe what he should be doing instead to get those voters he needs. It seems like he really has had trouble during this campaign reconciling his identity as an entertainer versus his identity as a president ial candidate. Weve seen his advisers, especially his more recent team, kellyann conway and Steven Bannon trying to push him to be a little nicer in public in debates and in public interactions. Weve seen him show some success with that when he is using a teleprompter. In certain settings he has shown us a more toneddown version of donald trump. But then we see instances like this where he drifts back to entertainer mode, and sure, the crowd eats it up at a rally, but for voters its a very different calculation. I have to get in the snl thing and i want you to talk about this. Youll want to talk about this. This is snl over the weekend with a little bit of the debate, their portrayal of it. Our jobs are fleeing this country. Theyre going to mexico, theyre going to gina. If hillary knew how, she would have done it already, end of story. I won the debate, i stayed calm just as i promised, and it is over. Good night, hofstra. Donald donald theres still 88 minutes left. Its a 90minute debate. My microphone is broken. She broke it with obama. She and obama stole my microphone. They took my microphone to kenya and they broke it and now its broken. Hear that, its picking up somebody sniffing here. I think its her sniffs. Shes been sniffing all night. Testing. Testing. Gina, gina. Huge gina. Secretary clinton, what do you think about that . I think im going to be president. I mean, this man is clearly unfit to be commander in chief. Bull. He is a bully. Shut up. He started the birther movement. You did. He says Climate Change is a hoax invented by china. Its pronounced gina. He hasnt released his tax returns which means hes either not that rich wrong. Not that charitable. Wrong. Or hes never paid taxes in his life. I would have paid to be with those candidates if they were watching this on saturday night. Do you think, jim, this is something that shapes peoples perceptions of whats happening in this election . Undoubtedly. It has over the years if you look at chevy chase and the way he did gerald ford ordain a carvey and the way he did george w. Bush. Tina fey. Tina fey. Inextricably linked, right . I think the way alec baldwin sent up donald trump there, and what was that motion Hillary Clinton was doing there . This. She does wave, but this was sort of a take on this. I wonder how donald trump reacts to this kind of criticism, too. Probably not so well. The Clinton Campaign claimed that Hillary Clinton took a few wows here. She was portrayed as so ambitious in this, rebeck anccr robotic and prepared. Its still very cutting. Its equal opportunity humor. Youre probably a little antidonald trump, then. Theres one point where shes sort of crying and saying shes so happy because she didnt think it would turn out as well as it did. Its a pretty funny clip, though. Thank you so much.

Tonight, theres growing concern that north Koreas Kim Jongun may be working on his own october surprise. Cnns brian todd is here. Tell us, what could northeeias unpredictable leader have up his sleeve. Reporter were getting new information from u. S. Intelligence and a u. S. National security think tank we could see more missile launches or a Nuclear Bomb Test from north korea in the coming weeks, possibly around the u. S. Elections. Its seen as a way for kim jongun to project strength and try to strong arm the incoming american president. Tonight, a new warning that kim jongun may try to provoke the u. S. , and send a message of intimidation around the time of the november election. The warning comes from the center for strategic and International Studies and is published on its website. The group says for some 60 years, kim, his father and grandfather, have demonstrated a pattern of trying to incite tensions around the time america votes. Just this year alone, kim jongun has fired off 15 missile tests, two Nuclear Bomb Tests, making five overall. What could be next . I think it could be a sixth nuclear test. It could be launching of their rocket to put a slight into orbit, which demonstrates Ballistic Missile capability. Doing a missile test would be a way to try to intimidate the incoming president. Reporter whoever is president will face an increasingly dangerous north korean dictator. Cnns john brennan said north korea is the biggest risk for the u. S. Kim has invested so much into building a military and nuclear capability, and the thinks this is his ticket to greatness. I think its his ticket to oblivion. Reporter analysts say hes trying to cover his flank inside north korea and there could be good reason. Tonight, cnn learned that some North Koreans have spoken out against their regime. They showed us the hand written results of their survey of 36 people in nine provinces. Asked what makes them most angry about their government, most said its when the regime takes away things they earned. If you are a farmer and you make a little bit more besides what the Government Asks you to make and the government takes that away, that makes you upset. Or when you collected some savings and the government issues an unordinary tax to try to take that money away from you. Reporter victor cha says the people conducting the survey had to move fast and in secret and could only spend a few minutes with each person they talked to. Not only did they risk their lives who did this, but the North Koreans who participated took risks themselves. Even with those risks, you have ordinary North Koreans who are not shy about complaining about the starvation problem, the rationing . Reporter thats right. The survey found 100 of the people who responded said the rationing they got from the government, rationing of good, water, fuel, grain, was just not enough to live on. They said just to survive, they have to venture into the black market to get some of those things, they spoke very freely at great danger to themselves. Brian todd, thank you for that report. Coming up, donald trump telling a crowd that hes brilliantly used the nations tax laws to his benefit. Will voters agree . Hat icet . Nope, its lemonade. Is that icet . Lemonade. Icet . Whats with these people, man . Lemonade, read the sign. Lemonade. Read it. Ok. Delicious. Icet at a Lemonade Stand . Surprising. Whats not surprising . How much money marin saved by switching to geico. Yo, icet its lemonade, man fifteen minutes could save you fifteen percent or more. And no chance of getting an athletic scholarship. And that is why you invest. The best returns arent just measured in dollars. Happening now. Art of the real donald trump falls behind in our new poll as he struggles with multiple controversies in his debate performance catches up with him. Tonight, trumps foundation is being targeted by new yorks top prosecutorer. Is trump brilliant for avoiding paying taxes or is Hillary Clinton right when she says he took from america with both hands . A bombshell report on trumps massive business loss and tax writeoff.
