Threehour show. Good morning on this monday, september 26th, to 16. Im ainsley earhardt. After insults and campaign stops, Hillary Clinton and donald trump are set to go forward with the first debate. How are they preparing . Theyre live on campus. As the tweet reads. Why do i sudden i feel like im at a let the mind games begin. Donald trump may have threate d threatened former mistress in the front row. But Hillary Clinton is adding another mowing up, mark cuban to taunt trump. Will it work . Well tell you what we know. So glad this is a rehearsal. Hillary Clintons Campaign wants to level the playing field. I think the debate issue,
obviously, let it be an even standard for both. Wow. Even standard from the candidate who demanded a bigger podium. She got it. Pretty savvy. Whether were indoors or out doors, our mornings are better with friends and bands. This is not how i remember college. At 6 01 on a monday morning, when the kids didnt have to go to school, were surrounded by the hofstra pep band, cheerleaders, mascot and weve got so much going on in the parking lot. Because tonight is the debate weft countdown in the corner. 14 47 53 until the debate tonight. The hofstra band, obviously the dance team as well as the cheerleaders. This is their home of pride. The former flying ducks and were going to be talking to all of them. The festival of the chaos which is debate number one. Im sorry, brian, if i repeat what you just said. I cant hear you. You dont listen to me anymore. Give yourselves a round of applause. That was great. [ applause ] we were talking earlier, they all called their parents and said set your alarms for 6 00
a. M. , well be on tv live. The Volleyball Team fresh off a game against north carolina. They arrived at 1 00 in the morning, came to play volleyball in the background. This is the third time theyve hosted the first president ial debate. The first time that its been done at a university. Were 15 hours away from the first president ial showdown between Hillary Clinton and donald trump. Tonights debate should be the most watched in history. At least 75 Million People expected to tune in. Some say 100. Weve got Fox Team Coverage. Mikey manual is covering the news from the clinton camp. First john roberts, wild right on the set with the latest on donald trump ahead of the big debate. Good morning, john. Reporter youve just seen the news. Hes going to hit the band. Every time he doesnt get a question he wants to answer, sweet caroline. What will Gennifer Flowers do . The one thing that we know is that Gennifer Flowers is not
coming tonight. If you look at the latest polls, this is a Washington Post poll, in a fourway race things have tightened up nationwide. It gives you a snapshot of what the country is feeling at any given point in time. Take a look at this. Hillary clinton two points ahead of donald trump, 46 to 44. Well within the margin of error. Thats among likely voters. Gary johnson and jill steinat 1. Its tinnings have tightened up nationally and in the battlegrounds, we see donald trump in some states pulling out a big lead. Gary johnson, hes the one losing voters and the other two are picking them up. Aleppo. Gary johnson was seen to take more from Hillary Clinton than donald trump. If his numts are going down and the top two are staying close, good news for trump. Yesterday at trump tower, he
metaphor an hour with benjamin netanyahu, Prime Minister of israel. That was a good optics, if you will, ahead of the debate showing donald trump as a potential world leader. There he is meeting with Hillary Clinton. Hillary clinton, donald trump looks a lot like Hillary Clinton in that picture. Donald trump in the gilded manor of trump tower with benjamin netanyahu. Is that gold . Not all solid gold. One of the things he made news on yesterday, meeting with netanyahu is saying that jerusalem, the undivided capital of israel has been the eternal capital. Hes in support of them. Theyre arch rivals in life as well as through the campaign. Please greet 62 tall, mike emanuel from new jersey to tell us whats happening at the Hillary Clinton camp. Thank you for the long island welcome. 15minute commute today. This is incredible. We all have blue suits and blue ties as well. Did you coordinate this . I think it means power. Hillary clinton, as you guys know, has invested tremendous time and energy preparing for the critical debate hoping it shifts the numbers in what has been a really close race. Clinton did a lot more debate rehearsal last night. 2 1 2 hours, going until about 11 00 and she also had an opportunity to meet with the world leader. This morning were finding out who she is inviting to attend the debate. A 9 11 survivor, a young woman with cerebral palsy, single mom and Domestic Violence survivor. Another constituent shes been close with since her time as a United States senator. Her runningmate said when the lights are on, clinton will deliver on the big stage. We are six weeks from tuesday and tomorrow we start the homestretch with the debate. I tell you, i know this is about Hillary Clinton. When the lights are bright like they are now, she brings the aplus game to the table. Clinton did a highprofile meeting last night with israeli
Prime Minister benjamin netanyahu. You saw trump with him. Now clinton with him last night as well. The latest in the series of meetings with World Leaders to show shes comfortable meeting with World Leaders. Part of the audition to be the next commander in chief. Bottom line, her aides believe its a win for her after being secretary of state. Shes traveled the world. Had a chance to meet with the leaders and reiterate the u. S. s commitment to israel longterm. After traveling throughout the country apart, tonight they get together at hofstra. Thank you very much. John roberts, thank you very much. Well check in with you again. Meanwhile, not far from here is the debate hall where we have a live image from inside and there you can its hard to tell the difference between the two podiums. But somebody yesterday took a picture and it was realized that probably the probably because theres such a height difference. As you can see, the podium screen right is considerably bigger scalewise than the one
screen left. Keep in mind, Hillary Clinton is 54, donald trump is 63. Shell probably be at the smaller scale podium. Right. Look at that wooden plank on the ground. I imagine that will be behind the podium so she can step up on that so she looks like the same height as donald trump. I would go back to secaucus and bush 41. Mike secaucus is about 56, 57. There seemed to be a disparity in height there. I dont know if that played a role. I know when jon lovitz played him the key is when they go out on stage and shake hands. Thats when youll see the height disparity. And then they go to the separate corners and start. Somebody who will not be in the front row is Gennifer Flowers. The clinton camp said were going to put mark cuban in the front row. The president ial on hated that idea. Donald trump said you know what, maybe ill invite Gennifer Flowers and she accepted. It was a joke, however. Although, i think it was Kathleen Willie yesterday said to News Reporters that all of bill clintons exgirlfriends could fill up the entire debate hall. Mike pence says its not going to happen. Theyre not bringing Gennifer Flowers. He was just saying that to mock what the clinton camp was saying. He did say i know as he knows as much, mark cuban, about National Security as i know about professional basketball. Wow. Let move on and talk about Something Else that the camp, its similar to boxing. Both camps, both corners talking about giving their man, in this case a woman too, the advantage. The psychological advantage. Also working the refs. That was made clear. Hes concerned about donald trump lying and not being called out on it. He actually thinks its the moderators job, not his candidates job to call the other one out. Listen to him yesterday on this week with somebody. Im very concerned that donald trump will be graded on a curve. All that were asking, if donald trump lies, that its pointed out. Its unfair to ask for hillary both to play traffic cop with trump, make sure that his lies are corrected and also to present her vision. Were saying this is a special circumstance, a special debate and hillary should be given some time to actually talk about what she wants to do to make a difference in people lives. She shouldnt have to spend the whole debate correcting the record. That is not true. One of the best things about debating is one person should know more than the other. If you feel as though that person is not being candid why would it ever be the job of the moderator at that make sure i dont want to hear from the moderator. We are there to watch the candidates, how they react. Its up to them to know the facts and to know when theyre being lied to. Rather than correct the record, all the moderator has to do, if clinton says something and lester holt knows thats a
fib, mr. Trump, did you think thats correct and give him the chance. Dont put it on lester holts shoulders. Thats crazy. The Debate Commission said its up to the moderator to just ask the questions. Not get involved. We dont want to hear from them. Keep in mind, the clinton camp has been working it ever since matt lauer asked some hard questions. The liberal media was so steamed, they beat him up because he didnt take out trump. Someone we never beat up, Heather Nauert is here. Why would we . Good morning, brian. Great to see you guys. Hope everybody is off to a great day. Start with a fox news alert now. The man accused of going on a shooting spree inside a crowded Washington State mall is being a raped on five counts of first degree murder.

Thanks, heather. National security will be a big deal tonight. With both candidates neck and neck, voters have to ask themselves this question. Who do you trust to do a better job when it comes to terror, especially in light of what happened last weekend in new york. What would the candidates say or dont say that would make or break their campaign . When should trump and hillary attack each other and when is it better to hold back . Pete hegseth and former republican senator from massachusetts scott brown. Wed like to open up with poll numbers. Stunning for trump. Hes up by one in colorado. Trailing by just one in pennsylvania. Having said that, lets look at National Security. Senator, you spent a lot of time with donald trump. Does he understand National Security from the outside in . Of course he does. That begins with securing the border and drawing contrast between he and Hillary Clinton. Shes in favor of sanctuary cities, hes not. Thats one of the focal points. A lot of americans want to go to a city and be safe. Kwh you talk about giving the tools and resources do their jobs and do them wells, he stands heads and tails above her. Pete, you pointed out when it comes to the iraq war, thats a rabbit hole for donald trump. Hes gone back and forth on a war you fought in. It could be a hole for him. He wants to avoid a race to the bottom on the i hate the iraq war more. You can see that at the stage, both of them saying i was against it, you voted for it. The key is to say, Hillary Clinton you were for not supporting the surge was successful and you supported the president s abandonment. Go back to the founder of isis thing. The policies you pursued led to the dont go to the bottom of how much we hate the iraq war. Brian, heres the difference. He was a regular guy. He had an opinion. Who cares . She was actually there. She was actually participating
in it and youre right, by not leading that transition, that quick force reaction in iraq, thats al qaeda of iraq, wellfunded and ready to go the way these two George Donald trump barack obama who is Hillary Clinton they have the same policy, seems to be trying to make it a gun control issue. In light of what happened last week, if youre donald trump, how do you handle National Security . Listen, our allies dont trust us, our foes dont fear us. Thats part of the problem with this administration, especially with Hillary Clinton basically rubber stamping that policy. When he drew that red line, it emboldened putin and assad. We can go down the list of things with foreign policy. He needs to tell folks that hes going to rely on the generals on the ground. Im talking about what
happened with the bombs an 23rd and 27th. He should point out that Hillary Clinton is a continuation of the Islamic State is not islamic. I wont say radical islamic terrorism. Barack obama has created the anxiety because he wont talk about the enemy. Hillary clinton has said is once or twice on the campaign trail. He should point to her and say is it radical islamic terrorism or not . To give our police and First Responders the ability to do their jobs and not hand tie them is important. I listened to paul ryan and said my advice to donald trump is overprepare. I dont think he has. The other is Hillary Clinton seems to be doing just that. Two long sessions yesterday with a woman who has been doing this for over three decades. Whats the mindset there . Ive done races and big debates as well. Theres such a thing as overpreparing. I think shell come across as wonk i. The pressure is on her. Shell get down to facts and figures. He needs to be himself and act president ial. He needs to draw the contrast between what he would do and what Hillary Clinton and barack obama have done. When you draw the contrasts, whether benghazi, isis or boko haram, you can go down the list, libya. She doesnt have anything you can tell what you want, it doesnt mean youll be comfortable or come off as relatable. That will be her problem. Can she do that . If she wants to cram, thats fine. But donald trump shouldnt name names or details game or names of foreign leaders. Talk about the top line issues. If he doesnt known the al shabab and al nusra, i dont think that will be held against him. You pick that up in office. Bush couldnt name someone as a candidate. I think the contrast is going to be pretty clear tonight. Senator scott brown and pete hegseth, thanks so much. You are eligible for our buffet now. You ate it all. Theres nothing left. Coming up straight ahead you wouldnt let me do that. Democrats think Hillary Clinton is being held to a sexist double standard. It seems that ive said this before, that she is held to a different standard than donald trump is. Would you agree with that . Yeah, i think thats true. Thats a tough question. Does it get any tougher. Trump is the one with the double standard . Our panel is here for a fair and balanced debate. Those are the cheerleaders. First, more from the hofstra pep band. By the way, here is the fox five shopper. Its right above us. Local affiliate in new york. Youll see a wide shot. Thats what it looks like right now if you are skydiving on to center stage.

Got up super early to be out
here with us. Were so appreciative. This is the third time its been held at the university. Joining us now are democrat lets start with that. Democrats are claiming that Hillary Clinton faces a double standard. Take a listen. It seems and ive said this before, shes held to a different standard than donald trump is. Would you agree with that . Yeah, i think sthaes true. Weve had a uniquely difficult challenge in electing twoim federal office. Theres a whole series of reasons. I probably understand some of them and dont understand others. That is a challenge that shes had to deal with her whole life and shes got to deal with today. But republicans are claiming that donald trump is at a disadvantage because hes a man facing the first female president ial nominee. So which side is right in all of this . Here to discuss it is the chairman of the Sussex CountyRepublican Party and trump surrogate john la vow. Strategist, joe trip ee and
intel p analyst, morgan ortega. You were in the reserves right, in the navy . I am. I want the pom poms. Im sure theyll let you borrow them. Its so fun being here. Thanks, guys for joining us. You heard when ellen was asking him if shes held to a different standard. Some republicans, joe, will say shes held to a different standard. Many people think its above the law after that email scandal. Do you think shes held to a different standard. I think they both are. Weve never had a woman be the nominee before. That changes the dynamic in the debate tonight for example. You know, cant trump go after her. If were his double standard. Can he go after her the way he did lying ted and little marco. Probably not, right . Probably not. I think both when both sides talk like this, there is some truth to what theyre saying. Morgan, should they be equal
going in because theyre both running for president . Should he go in with kid gloves because he is going up against a wom woman . No. Thats against everything that i as a professional woman stand for. When you look at millenial voters, whether its republicans, theyve largely rejected this notion that everything is sexist. She has she is doing less well with women voters than obama did. If youre looking at young people, looking at how we judge this election, millenial voters are not looking at male and female. Were looking at are you authentic and how are you on the issues. Thats why youre seeing the dissatisfaction from voters. Hes not doing well against women voters. Could tonight change that depending how he handles the debate . The issue of double standards, its to distract from all of her troubles. Its to distract from the email scandal, the foundation scandal, obviously the recent health
issues. Theres no double standard. Youre running for president of the United States. Is the media asking different questions of the candidates . Are they expecting Different Things . Theyre not. Theyre being equally tough on both candidates and what it really comes down to, the people of america want to hear about this economy, who is going to get this started, who is going to protect our families. That person is donald trump. Theres no question about that. I want to hear from all three of you. What does your candidate need to do to win . He needs to be himself. Hes comfortable in this type of setting. He certainly has been on stage repeatedly for 90 minutes, two hours giving speeches at rallies. This is Donald Trumps kind of forum. Hillary clinton is a very experienced debater. This is what shes supposed to be better at. Shes clearly the frontrunner. But i think youre going to see donald trump hit it out of the park tonight. What do you think . Stay away from being wonky. She has the ability to talk facts abld figures and knows more than just about anybody. I think it comes off as facts
and numbers and not as connecting. So shes got to connect with people. I wouldnt get too much into the give and take with trump. Let him do whatever hes going to do. But look, i think he is coming up. The polls show that. But the bias is because she was the frontrunner. Shes going to get more scrutiny. Now that bias coming back his way. Morgan . Ainsley, im the political observer. I represent millenial voters. Were looking for people who make the next four years better than the last four. Were seeing the rise of isis, an aggressive russia and aggressive china, building islands in the south china sea. Who has a plan to actually stop isis . Who has a plan to deter the aggressive nation states like china and russia. Thats what i care about. Well watch and talk about it tomorrow. Thank you so much. Heather over to you for headlines. Ainsley, thank you so much. A blatant show of disrespect. When a crowd charges an officers cruiser. Watch this. [ bleep ] [ bleep ]. The group of street racers attacking after the california Highway Patrol officer tried to stop one of them near fresno, california. The group shouting f the police and ticketing the car repeatedly. Kicking the car repeatedly. They caused 12,000 of damages. The officer is expected to be okay. Walmart workers under fire after refusing to make a cake for an officers retirement party. A georgia woman wanted a blue line cake for her dad. When she went to the store to have it made, three workers refused to bake and decorate that cake. One allegedly claims it was racist. A manager wound up making the cake and a it came out looking like this. The store then apologized to the family. Many are calling for the three workers to be fired. Well keep you posted on that. National anthem protests now spreading to our u. S. Military. A second navy sailor now facing discipline after sitting during the National Anthem in full uniform. Writing on facebook, quote, i feel like a hypocrite. Singing about the land of the free when i know that only applies to some americans. That protest coming weeks after a sailor in florida filmed herself sitting during the morning color ceremony. The navy not commenting on it at this point. Ill see you back here in a bit. Heather thank you very much. Meanwhile, all eyes on tonights debate. Moderator lester holt and new pressure from Hillary Clinton to do Something Like this. The president , 14 days before he called the attack in benghazi an act of terror. Get the transcript. He did call it an act of terror. But she was wrong. Sorry, candy. Is it the moderators job to fact check deebts on the fly. We have the person here who coached george w. Bush. Where do the other candidates stand at this point in the race now .

Hofstofstrhofstr. [ cheering ] did we mention were at Hofstra University for tonights big debate . The president ial candidates in a virtual dead heat ahead of tonights debate. A new Washington Post abc news poll shows donald trump and Hillary Clinton tied at 41 in a twoway race among registered voters. How does this line up in past president ial contests . Dont ask me. Lets talk to National Political reporter for real clear politics. She joins us live at hofstra. Good morning. Good morning, how are you . Good, thank you. Lets take a look. Lets look at four years ago. President obama versus mitt romney. How close was it . About four years ago there was a 3 or 4point race at this point. The first debate, there were High Expectations for both candidates. President obama by all accounts lost that one. Romney was great. Romney won the debate. Then we saw after that debate, the polls reversed themselves. Romney took a lead and that was in october. Eight years ago around this time, we saw, again, a 3 to 4point race. Obama ahead of mccain. Right now, were looking by four points. Right, exactly. Right now were looking at a threepoint race. A head to head matchup. Clinton is ahead by almost 3 points. Four years ago, what happened after the first debate and romney started to surge was in the second debate, Candy Crowley fact checked him and it blew things up and then hurricane Superstorm Sandy and all that stuff going on. Exactly. All goes to show that lots of things can change in a short amount of time. While this debate i think is the most important weve seen in a long time, really. This is the first time were seeing these two candidates who are unpopular in the polls, both facing a significant
vulnerability. Its their first headtohead matchup. This will be monumental in terms of shaping some peoples impressions of them. But again, we still have 40something days to go at this point. Sure. There is time, i think, to make up ground if needed. Okay. So how does lets go through each of them. For tonight, donald trump, what does he have to do essentially to surge ahead . Just got to do a little bit this time and next time. Very low expectations for donald trump and part of that is because he hasnt sna thats great for him. Hes setting low expectations as well as the rnc. He has to show that he is president ial, that he has the temperament to get through this kind of thing. Were seeing in polls that majority of voters question his temperament. He has to show hes president ial. The chief vulnerability for him. The preen voters question his
temperament is because thats what the Clinton Campaign has put out. Hes a crazy guy, you cant trust him, he says wild stuff. If he gets up on the stage a block away tonight and he looks president ial and hes just as not he and Hillary Clinton are at the same temperature. Right. Thats a big win for him. Its been a challenge for the Clinton Campaign to anticipate which donald trump theyre going to see, right . The past couple of weeks, weve seen donald trump on prompter with scripted speeches, pretty much on message for the most part. Is that what were going to see tonight . Or are we going to see the donald trump of the past . It remains to be seen. Well have to wait. All right. I have a feeling he will not call her crooked hillary. Just saying. Want to bet me a dollar . I dont know if i want to take that bet. You can never anticipate anything with donald trump. Thank you very much. Good to see you. Straight ahead on this monday, live from hofstra, we have Rudy Giuliani, bret baier. Putting pressure on donald trump. Is that lessers job . Were going to talk to the and bret baier. Live next from hofstra. Come on, patrick. Test test test. The clinton camp is urging the moderators to tell the truth about trump. The Campaign Says that trump
needs to be fact checked frequently during the debate tonight. Saying this, quote, this is the role of the moderator, to call out those lies, and do it in realtime. Joining us for his reaction, media and political consultant Patrick Griffith who served as the debate coach for george w. Bush. What do you think about that . Do you think its the job of the moderator to do the Fact Checking . Look, this is all about who wins tonight. Does trump win . Does hillary win . Poor lester, hes become the center of this thing. I hope he armors up. The moderators job is try not to be noticed. Does lester holt have to fact check these two folks . I dont think he has to be. I think donald trump and Hillary Clinton will fact check each other. Theres no doubt about that. They will check each other into the boards to use a hockey analogy. Is Hillary Clinton prepared to fact check . Someone from her Campaign Says
its unfair for hillary to be the traffic cop. If you are the Clinton Campaign, you dont want trump to go unchecked, which he does so well. Which is to fill buster through and bluster into the next thing. Hes very good at that. When you rely on the moderator to do the Fact Checking, we all remember the Candy Crowley moment. Lets listen to this and talk about it. Took the president 14 days before he called the attack in benghazi an attack of terror. Get the transcript. He did in fact, sir. Let me call it an act of terror. Can you say it a little louder, candy . He did call it an act of terror. People are did criticize her after that. Not only did she get it wrong, but also she was inflicting her opinion and she was on his side. That was very awkward for everybody. Mitt romney was look to go her to sort of straighten that out. Hillary clintons challenge tonight, she comes into the debate with expectations very high. Shes a good debater. Shes done this 40 times. She understands what it means to be on a stage with Bernie Sanders again and again and again. This is new for donald trump. This is a whole new thing. The Fact Checkers will be busy with both of these focuses tonight. In fact, they may form a union, thats how seriously the Fact Checkers had to work on this. Trump will try to make sure that he tries to be president ial. Thats what hes got to do. Hillary has got to come up with someone with the connection business, in the facts business. She comes off she can spell every obscure country in africa backwards, thats not connecting. Hillary has got to do that. Trump has got to convince folks hes ready for the job. Thank you so much.

Live from Hofstra University. 14 hours from exactly right now is the first president ial debate between donald trump and Hillary Clinton. Weve been waiting so long for this day. It is here, guys. Especially thanks to these students out here because they have the day off. They dont even have to be here so they are cheering. We have a Volleyball Team came in at 1 00 in the morning from north carolina. Weve got the dance teams and
band. There is someone who predicted every president ial race every year. He made the announcement last night that he chooses donald trump. He bases it on a series of questions that he goes through every elect cycle. Do they even have to have the election . No. This guy knows it all. Tonights debate could be the most watched in history. They are estimating over 100 Million People could actually watch. Make sure you watch fox. Thats right. Weve got Fox Team Coverage this morning. Were going to be with you all day. Mike emanuel is covering all the news out of the clin tan camp but first were going to go our Senior National correspondent john roberts for the latest on donald trump ahead of the big debate. I was having a big discussion of joe trippy that donald trump could have a victory on november 8th. He still doesnt think its going to happen. When you look at the poll numbers, you get the idea theres a mini wave happening for donald trump. This is a fourway race. Hillary clinton up by 2 points now. 4644 . But gary johnson and at 5. And jill stein at 1. Regular voters, they are tide tied up at 41 apiece. That rival network, in the state of colorado, lets do pennsylvania first. They never go according to script, do they . 45, 44. Hillary clinton leads by 1 point. She was leading by 8 or 9 not too long ago. Thats unbelievable. Let put up colorado. Heres a real shocker. Colorado, here it comes. Colorado, ladies and gentlemen donald trump now leading in colorado, 4241. Gary johnson getting a big slice of the pie there because of the proximity to new mexico. Because of marijuana. You said it. Not me. Actually, they said it. The polls are turning in
trumps favor. Thats why theres so much riding on him tonight in the debate. His campaign believes if he can fight to a draw, thats a win for him. They are putting expectations very high on Hillary Clinton. 53 of people in that poll think that Hillary Clinton is going to win. Shes got the higher bar. Hillary has 46 and you said trump has 44. If she stayed where she has always been. She was about 8 points ahead in august. Hes the one going up and up. Why is he . I think its the whole change. He was shooting himself so bad in the summer, it was almost a wasted summer for donald trump. When he got the new team in, they have really kind of turned things around. The teleprompter has probably the best thing thats ever happened to him. As they start the debates, they are both tied. Donald trump didnt have a lot of debate prep. He did some watching of the tapes. Meanwhile, Hillary Clinton was in a hotel not too far from here until what, midnight last night . She went late night last night. Bottom line, this is going to set the stage for the final six week of this campaign. So Hillary Clinton put in a lot of prep work getting ready, hoping her experience in dozens of president ial debates will finally pay off, and so clinton is not taking any chances. She spent 2 1 2 hours last night rehearsing once again, getting ready for tonights big contest here at Hofstra University. Her team has defended hardware taking time off the campaign trail, essentially saying that these three president ial debates over the final six weeks will be the biggest events in the final homestretch, and so bottom line, they are counting on Hillary Clinton delivering tonight, but they are also worried that donald trump may not get factchecked. She takes the debate preparation very seriously. She respects the American Public but she has a challenge because donald trump says things that arent true. Shes got to be able to both make that positive case but also not let donald trump get away with what hes likely to do, which is to make stuff up. So shes spent a great deal of time in the debate prep book. She spent a great deal of time with her aides going over questions. The question is does she come across too rehearsed tonight and as we know, guys, from watch these over the years. A lot of times its not the policies they lay on you, its the sigh, its the looking at the watch. Its some unscripted moment that everybody remembers. How much tougher can she be in than her attack ads . Shes also put up stuff about the rosie odonnell. Hundred Million People havent seen it all. Weve been watching every day. Shes been waiting her entire adult life for this election. Tonight is very important for her. We were talking to donald trump recently, we said did you ever think you would run for president . No, i won be controversial all this year. Why was Hillary Clinton prepping so late last night . You want to do one session actually on the debate clock, up and vibrant. 8 00, 9 00, 10 00. Donald trump has not done that. Heres a guy that goes until 11 00, 1 00 in the morning on that the campaign trail. Hes already on that clock. Hes the healthiest man running for president. Unless, of course, you run for president. Everybody is going to be watching to see if they are standing there for 90 minutes. Okay, he does that. We have not seen her do that. As we look inside the debate hall here at hofstra, you can barely tell but one of the
poemts is actually a couple of inches bigger than the other. The one screen right has been constructed to be a little bigger, most probably because hillary is about 10 inches shorter than donald trump. Shes 5 4 and hes 62. They are trying to even the high field. Its very similar. The speculation is shes going to be standing on that. Which is not unusual. No, i have no problem with that. I think they should be on an even playing field. I knew if i were a lot shorter than you guys, i would want a little lift on my chair, probably. No debate. Shes getting her personalized podium and something to stand on. Meanwhile, as you look at the history of president ial debates, and they go back to nixon and also kennedy back in 1960, there have been some that have stood out. One of them was back in 1984 when Ronald Reagan who at that
point was 73 years old, he was the oldest guy ever to run for president to that stage, and Walter Mondale had made something of that. Reagan had a shot. He had a rehearsed line that he delivered and that kind of turned things around. Remember this. I will not make age an issue of this campaign. I am not going to exploit for political purposes my opponents youth and inexperience. [ laughter ] even mondale laughed. He was coming off a bad first debate. George bush 43, bad first debate. Barack obama, last time around, bad first debate. They are calling that an unforced error. No matter what happens tonight, if donald trump loses or Hillary Clinton loses . They can still win the election. Its the first. No one could have scored a bigger victory against mitt
romney against barack obama. He was mocked on snl. They have to make sure that when they do those zingers, they dont botch it. Al gore botched this confrontation with george bush. I can get something positive done on behalf of the people. Thats what the question in this campaign is about. Its not only whats your philosophy and your position on issues, but can you get things done . And i believe i can. All right. So bizarre. He invaded his space. It looked like he was going to fight him. He did the same thing to hillary when they were running for senator in new york state. I didnt realize how southern his accent was. Hes lost a lot of that southern accent. Who, al gore . George bush. I notice more of a southern accent that i feel like i hear now. The year was 1976, ainsley, you dont remember. I was three days old when
this happened. Exactly. Ford and jimmy carter were debating. Heres the thing. There was a technical issue. This is all about unforced errors. You got to be ready to react. Listen to this. Theres a break down in the trust among our people and. [ buzzing ] at the moment all we can do is watch this Interesting Development with the president of the United States who also happens to be a candidate for the presidency of the United States and former governor of georgia was the other major candidate for the presidency, doing about what were doing, which is waiting for something to happen. So they heard that technical sound problem, then they stood on the stage when it first occurred, they stood there like a couple of deer in the head lights and people are looking one of those guys would be the president. They stood there for 27 minutes. Poor Harry Reasoner is 27 minutes. You should have a backup plan. Now they have got backup audios. They have got triple, quadruple paths of audio. 100 Million People expect to watch tonight. You have to have some backup plans. We call that shepherd smith. Hes so good. Put him out there and he will do great. Things will happen. They are warming up to talk debate straight ahead. Two great athletes. Look at this. Playing ball. Heather.

Well all be watching. Steve and brian are up on stage. I think they are going to take it over from here. Thank you very much, ainsley. Coming up on this monday, debate monday, sphorm former
u. S. Senator scott brown is warming up to talk about tonights action. Here they come. Whether its bringing cuttingedge wifi to 35,000 fans. Or keeping a Hotels Guests connected. Businesses count on communication, and communication counts on centurylink. Good morning, 24 minutes after the hour. A couple of quick headlines to bring you right now. Beginning with a fox news alert, the man accused of going on a shooting spree in a Washington State mall is being arraigned today on five counts of first degree murder. Police describing the turkish immigrant, arcan sateen as
zombielike when they arrested him over the weekend following a 24hour manhunt. Authorities are now trying to uncover a motive. All eyes on the Miami Marlins today as the team take the field for the first time without its star pitcher, jose fernandez. The 24yearold and two of his friends were killed when their boat slammed into a jetty off miami beach over the weekend. Tributes pouring in over the sports world sunday in memory 16 and the passing of an alltime great, nation also mourning legendary governor arnold palm golfer Arnold Palmer. His rival, jack Nick Nicholas says he transcended the game. He was 87 years old. He will be missed. And a great guy. Lets talk about Something Else much more serious. We talk about life and death here in america. Terror expected to take center stage. A big focus headtohead with no commercials. This as the case of the new york bombing suspect reveals he was no lone wolf. But from a family of sympathizers. Should families be held accountable . And here to join us is pete hegseth and colonel scott brown. Theres no fingerprints on the bombs, should the family be culpable . If they knew of this attack, they are in many ways as guilty as the bomber himself. You got evidence that the vehicle was used, they saw him detonating the bombs in the backyard. This stuff is all now coming up. And this is where Donald Trumps finger son the pulse of the American People. Our leaders are ignoring this problem, not talking about it. Its not just the bomber. Its networks of people that enable it and dont have an allegiance to our country. This is a perfect example of it. Its time to stop being politically correct and donald trump has obviously referenced that many, many times. When you clearly have, and i think the facts will bear out family participation. Absolutely. I agree with pete. I think every other american said absolutely hold them accountable. Throw the book at them. We dont know what happened on the belt parkway when they pulled over members of his family and one of them had a flight to jfk, just panicking, looking to get out. Thinking back to the boston bombers whax did the wife know about before that. I think orlando, omar mateens father. Dont tell me he didnt know whats going on. Theres got to be pressure on the families to come forward. If they are not culpable and dont think alike. That message comes from the top, from the administration, to the fbi and justice. They dont want to offend a particular religion and race. We have to treat everybody the same and get to the bottom of it and stop these things from happening. We always hear if you see something, Say Something. That needs to be the motto inside the Muslim Community here in america. You see something, you see radicalization within your family or elsewhere, you Say Something. Thats not happening right now. If im a muslim and im not radical, i would want everybody stepping up and saying im not with those guys. That needs to start happening from these leaders. There are too Many Organizations and mosques that are sympathizing with raledss. Were not willing to call a spade a spade. King abdullah, he did last night on 60 minutes. We have to straighten our community. Unfortunately, they need our help. Hes asked for our help many
times and other entities have asked for help. Our allies dont really trust us and they are playing it would hands against the middle, hedging their back. When the america wont name the enemy, the world adrift. Our allies who we should be standing with, they just go where are they . David hinkley is an example. His family didnt know he was going to go out and shoot the president. Hes now out. Why should there be a double standard with that . Listen, different time. Fortunately, unfortunately, when you have David Hinkley doing what he did, when you have people here in this country that do not have the same values that we do. They are coming to this country. They are not buying the houses with white picket fences. They are coming and trying to change our way of life. Were at war. When you are at war, you better recognize that enemy. How they are using you your own openness against you and untie ugh you are military guys, you know who is in the infantry now, cops. They seem to be in the infantry in this war on terror. Thank you so much for joining us. Join us on the volleyball court. I want to join you if i can get a moment off. Coming up straight ahead. Can i go to the middle direction to include everybody. Geraldo rivera you know, Geraldo Rivera is going to be coming up shortly. Theres other great people, including Rudy Giuliani coming your way.

Remember college, and all the spirit and they are so excited here at hofstra because tonight its about, thank you very much more than 14 hours from now, the big debate. Ladies and gentlemen, great job. May i have a pom pom. When i disagree something you say, im going to do this. In my face. Thats really nice. I love these things. I just need to have a reason to use it. Think what this means for this school. The whole world is watching. They are going to get up in the milling. Night in europe to watch this. They are going to know about Hofstra University. 100 Million People expected to watch tonight. Right. I bet its higher. You think so . Yeah. What was the debate in 1980 the latest one was 80 million. That year there was only debate. This year there are going to be three president ial. One vicepresident ial. I wouldnt be surprised if between 10 and 20 million are watching fox because the debates are going to be on all the channels. We know which channel youll be watching. Heather, are you ready to catch . I think its impactful, theres also the sense that anything can happen. Thats why im so excited. Ive had coffee. Ive got my pom poms. Weve been waiting it feels like months. I have to take this away from
you. Im going to toss it to heather. Shes a news woman. She cant be cheering for the news. All right. Thats not allowed. Ill take it from here. Overnight, a man found alive, miraculously, three days after the coast guard called off his search. 22yearold nagin carman and his mom vanished after they went on a fishing trip. Overnight, a both spotted a boat spotted nathan 22 miles off marthas vineyard. Four robbers definitely picked the wrong target. Napoleon harris owns two pizza places in chicago. The robbers tried mugging him but they didnt know hes a former nfl linebacker. Hes 63, 250 pounds. Harris fought them off and told police about their car after they drove away. All four suspects were later captured. Turns out three of them were wanted in murder in the state of georgia. Wow. A woman hands her husband his lunch in the best possible way. Watch this. Catch how cute. The man forgot his lunch and his wife leans out the window and drops the sandwich right through the sunroof of his car. The video has come out of china and its gone viral with nearly 1 million views so far. Drop you a sandwich through the moon roof. Thats right. Who needs a drivethru when you can drop in. Talk about a drop in. Geraldo rivera. Compared to a sandwich, am i . He knows all about hofstra my sister irene was a professor here. My brother graduated from here. My wife graduated from here. My High School Football coach came here to start a varsity football team. And this is where Hillary Clinton tonight will meet donald trump 9 00 p. M. Eastern time. Youll watch here at 9 00 p. M. On the Fox News Channel. Tonight, i think they will both be winners. Why . Because they will show america that they are not the grotesque characters. Shes not going to be the shrill Cruella Deville and hes a movie star. He will be charismatic. She will be, you know likeable enough. Likeable enough so shes not just a policy wonk. She will show she has a heart. What does he need to do . He was so successful in the debates up to this point and thats what got him here, so
people want to see his personality, but yet many people are telling him you got to stay on message. How did you find that balance . He cant be rude. I think thats really an important thing. You cant call her crooked hillary. He cant call her crooked hillary. When she ran for senate, there was a congressman from long island, rick hasio. He came and stood right next to her as if to physically intimidate here and he got routed as a result. Trump cant be a bully and she on the other hand cant say okay tells me who the president of ka zik stand or what does nato stand for. Even in the middle of august, you said he thought had a real good shot of winning, one of the few. Lets take a look at where other races were. Bush was up over 5 going into debate number one. Obama, number one. Obama plus 4 over romney and
romney did so well on debate number one. Hillary is only 2. 2 up. Theres undoubtedly momentum with one candidate and its donald trump. Hes up in colorado, trailing by one in pennsylvania, in virginia within three. These are trends. This is not so much wheres the race. Look where its heading. Shes got to stop him in his tracks. She will, i believe, remind people about the birther nonsense. She will remind people about bankruptcy. Which is ironic because her campaign started it. Be that as it may, i think that will be her weapon. His, i hope, is higher brow in the sense that he will say look at the middle east now. And kind of take off on are you better off now than you were four years ago . Is the middle east better off than it was eight years ago . Look at syria and the carnage. Its not about foreign
policy. Foreign policy will play a role. Theres where you seem president ial or not. That is really her. I think they will talk about the division. He can point to, for example, the turkish refugee responsible for the washington massacre in the mall allegedly, and like, you know, the family responsible for the bombings in new york and new jersey last week, and say, see, it is about immigration, and she will say, yes, but you want to get juan and maria and stop the dishwashers and the babysitters have coming in. I think there will be a good giveandtake. It will be in many ways elegant enough that they will both appeal to their bases. Trump will remind people that hes the candidate bringing back traditional republicans. Hillary will remind people that shes compassionate, inclusive. Shes for diversity. She wants us all to be in this together. I think they will appeal to each others base and you point to
the tightening in the polls. It was always tight. We have never seen a surge like this. One candidate is surging. One is wallowing. You cant even approach well, shes had the worst month possible with the illness and everything else. Thats another thing. Shes got to stand there for 90 minutes without a bathroom break and without someone to come in and powder her brow, as he does so. If she in any way falters, i think he wins. But on the other hand, she was pretty tough with Bernie Sanders. Bernie sanders, a very clever debater. You know, for 74 years old, who is filled with vim and vigor and attitude and philosophy and ideology and socialism, but she handled him fairly well. If she can handle trump like that, i think this is going to be a razorthin margin. This is 2000 all over again. This is going to be 16 dope smokers in colorado deciding. Sound bite of the day. Comes down to 16 dope smokers. Reminded me of college just sitting here. The best 12 years of your life. My sons. What are the candidates doing right now preparing for tonights debate . Ed rollens takes us inside the debate next. 43 days until election day and hours until our first debate. Donald trump against Hillary Clinton. For Hillary Clinton, 38 times shes debated on the president ial level, but donald trump, just 11 times and never one on one. Joining us now is he had rollins, a Fox News Contributor and a professor here at hofstra. Ed, i got to ask you if anyone can bring us inside debate prep on Something Like this, a nofs, you worked with ross perot in a similar situation, can you tell me what donald trump is doing that you hear and what he should be doing . Hes going over a lot of stuff. Hes got a lot of bright people around him. Newt gingrich and Rudy Giuliani. Everybody does it their own way. Hes a great communicator. Hes had 14 years of television. Every week he was a center figure. He has to be himself tonight. Hillary clinton has got the bigger dragon to slay. To prove incompetent. She basically wont be able to do that, i think he can more than handle himself. People say he always had those other candidates on the field and he didnt have to perform as well. My sense on a one on one he will be stronger than ever. Im always aware, especially you are a big boxing guy as i am. You actually boxed. I just covered it. They always try to Say Something the opposite you want. Psychological ploy. When the donald trump camp is saying hes not doing a lot of rehears rehearsal do you believe it. Hes working hard. Hes devoting the energy. Hes not doing through the traditional standup with someone playing her. He doesnt need to do that. She will play herself and he will play himself. At the end of the day its about likability and he has the
advantage. He doesnt have to win. He just has to tie and perform at a level that people can say, you know, i can see that guy as president. And youve always believed that donald trump had a legitimate shot on this. Did you ever think that he would be a point up in colorado, a point from pennsylvania, this is the brandnew polls, now virginia within striking distance. She pulled her ads out of pennsylvania and virginia. This is a different election than ever before, and so the things we might have talked about a month ago just arent happening. This is a whole different game and a large number of the voters have not made up their mind yet. So this debate, people are going to watch it, they are going to carefully watch it and make up their minds. Real quick. Cbs did a poll and said hes riskier than she is, however, america wants a change so bad, risk might not be that bad in this election. Hes a leader. The key thing for him, the president makes decisions. Ive been wake making all my decisions all my life. Obviously she cant make decisions. She failed in benghazi. In her case, hes got the advantage there and he aught to talk about that. I cant wait for your post game analysis. This is ive been doing this for 50 years. This is the most exciting one ive been on here. Thank you very much. Great to be at your college. He plays a path to primary victory, taking no prisoners along the way. You are the liar. You are the liar. Dont worry about it little marco. You are a tough guy, jeb bush. So far im doing better. Doesnt matter. Can he take them awm the way to the white house . Could it boomerang in the general . John mclaughlin joins us next. Ainsley going through the tunnel of fame. Great time for a shiny floor wax, no . Not if you just put the finishing touches on your latest masterpiece. Timings important. Comcast business knows that. Thats why you can schedule an installation at a time that works for you. Even late at night, or on the weekend, if thats what you need. Because you have enough to worry about. I did not see that coming. Dont deal with disruptions. Get Better Internet installed on your schedule. Comcast business. Built for business. Dont worry about it, little marco. You are at 43 and you are at 3. Doesnt matter. Donald trump blazed a path for a primary victory taking down 16 republican opponents along the way with his tough little marco debate style. As he prepares to go head to head against hirveth now, will that same strategy still work. Joining us now is john
mclaughlin. Good morning to you, john. A lot of people are saying that Hillary Clinton, she ran her whole campaign basically is run on donald trump cant control himself. But if he controls himself tonight and he doesnt go off message, will he win . Yes. And hes on his way to winning right now. The poll sters have saying hes got the momentum. Majority of americans dont want to vote for her. Many almost six out of ten americans dont want to vote for her. Weve known her for 25 years. Donald trump has come from nowhere, he represents the change. 2 3 of the Company Think country think the country is on the wrong track. They want change. Trump since the beginning has had the right message to make America Great again. You will see donald trump decisively win this debate tonight. We talk politics every day here on the program. A lot of all the news people do. Most of america tunes in after labor day and this is the super
bowl, the first of five super bowls after labor day. This is the first chance for you to you know, whether you are buying a pair of shoes or new care or Something Like that, you compare different thpgs, tonight is the first sidebyside comparison. Its going to be telling. Its going to be historic. I wanted them to do pay purview and give it to charity. I think they will beat the record tonight. Even though they are up against monday night football. They want to move abay from the failed policies right now and donald trump has the right message and donald trump is extremely smart. He went through a really a lot of tough primary debates. He was the one who dominated those debates and tonight youll see donald trump with the right ideas and right message to turn the country around. Its just amazing. Its been so fascinating to watch because people didnt think he would get this far in the very beginning and he was up against so many candidates and
now hes just improving and hillary is just staying stagnant and hes up in the polls. They didnt know him. Americans are getting to know him. Weve known Hillary Clinton for 25 years. Doesnt it come down to, after you watch the debate, which of those two people would i rather go out and have a beer or a glass of wine with. There is a likability factor. Donald trump doesnt drink, so you are not going to have a beer with him. He will have an odoul. Sure. Hes a far more interesting person. Somebody else who is going to be watching, Rudy Giuliani, hes coming up here with us. Hes live with us and bret baier. Whether its connecting one of the worlds most innovative campuses. Or bringing wifi to 65,000 fans. Businesses count on communication, and communication counts on centurylink. When you hit 300,000 miles. Or here, when you walked away without a scratch. Maybe it was the day your baby came home. Or maybe the day you realized your baby was not a baby anymore. Every subaru is built to earn your trust. Because we know what youre trusting us with. Subaru. Kelley blue books most trusted brand. And best overall brand. Love. Its what makes a subaru, a subaru. I think we need to play the tune. What a fun day. Weve waited a long time for this day and it is here, guys. Here you go. We have the hofstra Volleyball Team. Its the pride. They were traditionally the flying dutchmen. It was politically incorrect. They switched to the pride. It is the pride of lions. Flying dutchmen is politically incorrect. I love the dutch are very sense sieve as a people. I love the dance team and their costumes. Its the usa. Its a matter of time before they say you cant wear that. Half the school is sitting
down. In hours from now, youll be tuned to Fox News Channel to watch the first president ial debate in 2016. There will be this man, bret baier will be over at the Sports Center where the festivities will be. A new poll come out from blumburg. Donald trump is up by 42, Hillary Clinton at 41, gary johnson at 8 and jill stein at 4 . Here at the debate hall, i dont have a band and no cheer leaders. It sounds fun up there. Theres also a quinnipiac poll just out that has it essentially tied. 4344. Bloomberg poll showing trump up. That matches a tighten in state
polls. Some news out of the Clinton Campaign, she hasnt been to ohio in 20 days and theres word that they are kind of not pulling out of ohio, but not focusing on ohio, and think about that. That swing state. Shes going to be other places. Tonight is going to make a big difference in where you see these candidates Going Forward based on how they do. Whats interesting about ohio, thats john kasich territory and hes not supporting donald trump and it looks like the state is supporting donald trump. It doesnt matter. The latest average of polls has it 4338 for trump, and that has been shifting recently, and i think that you are seeing a major change in ohio. That it cog going red. Lets go over past years. Im sure you have it in front of you. September 26th, 2008, it was obama over mccain, by 4. The economy began to collapse and people were looking for a
change. In 2012, romney was trailing obama by 4 points. For me, this stands out for me. Its not only Hillary Clinton might have a percentage, real clear average advantage, ive never seen momentum on one candidates side in recent memory like donald trump seems to have the wind at his back here. What about you . Listen. Think about the summer where there were some people who were actually saying this race is over. Its done. You know, pack it up. Hillary clinton has won. And Reince Priebus and others were saying by labor day this is going to get reset and the polls are going to come together. He was a couple days off, but soon after that, it started to change, and now we have a essentially tied race heading into this huge debate when you could see viewers as you guys have mentioned over 100 million, and it may affect their decision. That first debate in 2012, romney arguably had a great night, and it changed the
dynamic in the short term. Bret, you remember, Ronald Reagan, he was not winning at this point and in fact he lost that first debate and came back the second debate and did really well and ended up winning the election. Anything could happen. It is. Listen, Ronald Reagan in 1980, against carter, there was only the one, debate in 84 there were others. I think that you look at the viewership then, 80 million was the highest viewership, 1980 in that debate against carter. Wow. More people are going to be watching tonight. Its interesting in the pregame festivities, though, the hillary camp has made it clear, they are trying to work the ref, they said lester, you got to call him out on stuff. Donald trumps seven biggest lies, and the Campaign Manager doesnt know where she stands on different issues. He says that they really need to
factcheck donald trump, the moderator does, as they go. Listen to him from yesterday. Im very concerned that donald trump will be graded on a curve. All that were asking is that if donald trump lies thark its pointed out. Its unfair to ask for hillary both to play traffic cop with trump, make sure that his lies are corrected, and also to present her vision. Were saying this is a special circumstance, a special debate, and hillary should be given some time to actually talk about what she wants to do to make a difference in peoples lives. She shouldnt have to spend the whole debate correcting the record. Youve been a moderator. As the moderator, should you be the factchecker as hes suggesting right there or should you just simply moderate . Yeah. Listen, theres a difference between a primary debate and a general election debate. The Debate Commission for these debates is pretty clear what they would like. They would like the jim leher
model. Try to get them stay on track. Time keep. Make sure they hit the time equally and if there is a challenge or something it said, turn to the other candidate and say what do you make of that . Thats how he did it and they hold him up as someone who did it very, very well. I think, you know, lester holt is going to do a great job. Hes a good man and i know him well. I think there will be pressure on him to do that, and hes going to have do it on both sides. A couple of things. Bob schieffer said yesterday, who is also, we all agree was one of the most respected news guys around. The first thing to do is see if the other candidate will fact check the other. If they dont, moderators should step in. If something says something very egregious. I dont know your feeling about that. Well, im just telling you what the Debate Commission says, and janet brown was on yesterday and said that this is its
dangerous water to go down. Weve talk about Candy Crowley. Weve talked about, you know, when what facts are definitive and where are your sources. Its a choice of which facts you decide to go after on each side, and if you do it once, you got to do it the other way. And you can spend so much time lester holt could spend so much time Fact Checking this and that, we dont want to hear from lester holt. Im sure hes a great man. I dont know him personally. I like watching him. Im tuning in to watch Hillary Clinton debate donald trump. Dont get ainsley, angry. Can we cue the band . Ainsley was very happy when the band was going. She loves the band. I do. I like music. Whats the latest on the ear piece situation . Evidently andy lack the president of nbc news was in matt lairs lauers here and
telling him to do this or that. Will they be taking the ear piece out . No. He will have a ear piece. I dont think it will be on editorial, but i dont know the arrangement that lester has. Each debate moderator has his or her own team. For example, Chris Wallace will have the fox team in las vegas. Sure. All right. Meanwhile, right behind you, inside, the two podiums set up, lester holt has got his desk right in the middle. Whats interesting, bret, because Hillary Clinton is ten inches shorter than donald trump as we look in there live right now. Apparently one of the i believe it is the lecturn to the left. Stage left. Camera right. As we look right here. In this image, the one to the right is bigger, and we believe thats going to be Donald Trumps so that he appears
proportional to her at the smaller podium. Is that something they normally do . Its not something they normally do, but they had two different podiums that they were trying out. The campaigns did their walk through and i think that they chose the smaller podium for Hillary Clinton so that its proportional and that, you know, they look roughly the same on camera. Every angle, every camera angle is looked at from both campaigns to see, you know, how they look. Remember dukakis and bush, that was a huge height disadvantage. I cant remember if dukakis had any step or not. George h. W. Bush comes out and they had a step for dukakis and originally they were going to just be at their podiums at the beginning, and they came out and he shook hands. H. W. Did, and he held on to
dukakiss hand fire long time, and some speculated that was because he wanted the height difference on that image to be evident, and it was. There you go. Height matters. There you go. Were all going to be watching ton. Bret is going to be anchoring the coverage here on the Fox News Channel. Thank you. You asked if he had ever seen anything like this before, weve never had this before, a man and a woman debating each other in the first president ial debate. Hillary clinton has had to go against a republican. Its all been democrats. Last time is when she was running for senate. Shes been 38 times but never against somebody in the other party. Somebody who has been on the debate stage before is Rudy Giuliani. Hes here. Actually, hes keeping the couch warm for us back home. He has lastminute advice for donald trump. Thats next. Tidy up while were out of town. Hes sitting in ainsleys spot. Im claudine and i quit smoking with chantix. By the time i was 30, i said thats it, im a smoker for life. I wanted to be a nonsmoker and i did it thanks to chantix. Along with support, Chantix Varenicline is proven to help people quit smoking. Chantix reduced my urge to smoke some people had changes in behavior, thinking or mood, hostility, agitation, depressed mood
and suicidal thoughts or actions while taking or after stopping chantix. Some had seizures while taking chantix. If you have any of these, stop chantix and call your doctor right away. Tell your doctor about any history of Mental Health problems, which could get worse or of seizures. Dont take chantix if youve had a serious allergic or skin reaction to it. If you have these, stop chantix and call your doctor right away as some can be lifethreatening. Tell your doctor if you have heart or blood vessel problems, or develop new or worse symptoms. Get medical help right away if you have symptoms of a heart attack or stroke. Decrease alcohol use while taking chantix. Use caution when driving or operating machinery. Most common side effect is nausea. This is for real. Im a nonsmoker. Ask your doctor if chantix is right for you. We decided to take the show on the road. We are live at hofstra
university because the big debate is tonight, brian. The problem was i was supposed to call rudy. You thought you were supposed to call rudy. We forgot to call him. Rudy giuliani is still on the studio. Hes sitting on the couch. I apologize mr. Mayor. Thats okay. I like it here. In fact, i can ask myself questions. Brian was supposed to pick you up . I am come here, go back, go here. There you go. Dont touch steves seat. He gets very sensitive about that. Mr. Mayor, theres very few people i can talk with outside the trump family about trumps preparation. I like the analogy that you had with ed rollins about a boxing match. I was a little bit of a boxer. My father was, and this is sort of like you get the person ready the way they want to get ready. She wanted to get ready with all the mock debates and mock trials
like, i guess, a lawyer, like i am. And donald wanted to get ready in his own way, just bone up on the issues. Be clearer, more precise, but hes basically going to be donald trump. What about studying her tapes . What about studying her tapes . I think we looked at a few of them. We look at a few of hers and a few of his. But hes done it over the last two, two and a half months and a lot of preparation was in the speeches he gave. You know, he gave, unlike her, he gave very highly specific policy speeches over the last two months and the idea that he hasnt been specific and hasnt drilled down on the issues is kind of a little silly. Its sort of the Mainstream Media not paying attention to the campaign. Hes been more specific at this stage of campaign certainly than she has and hes been more specific than most president ial candidates. I can tell you his tax plan, right . You know what it is. Hes going to go from 35 to 15
on the corporate tax. Hes going to go from 33, way down to 25 on top rate. Hes going to take poor people right down to 15 and a lot of them arent going to be taxed at all. Hes going to renegotiate natfa or hes going to do away with it. Hes going to build a wall in order to secure the border. Right. Weve got that. Hes been extremely specific, including the 123s of everything hes going to do. I think he goes into the campaign in good shape and i think thats one of reasons hes ahead right now and why hes beating her in colorado. Well, its been fascinating for us all to watch him kind of learn the ropes and to figure out whats best and what his audience wants and what the American People want. What is your advise to him . I know youve been talking to him. What are you telling him . My advice, i think donald trump has done best since donald trump has been just let loose to be donald trump, you know, the
first couple of weeks after the winning the primary, there was a lot of confusion. There was a big staff change. Theres a lot of discussion of, you know, how things should be scripted and i think what weve all found that are working with him now is you let him be himself, this man is an extraordinary political thinker himself and a great communicator, and it doesnt mean necessarily he has the advantage in the debate because she has, obviously, policy knowledge i dont have. Shes been in government since i was a child. I dont remember a time she hasnt been in government in one way or another. So shes going to have obviously more specific knowledge than he has, but i think hes going to comport himself very, very well, and hes going to be hes just going to be like you see him on when he comes here. And when you talk to him on the phone. Hes going to be donald trump. Mr. Mayor, im sure shes going to memorize everything that she has to about donald
trumps performances because we already know about her, and evidently if you look at what John Dickerson asked on face the nation, if you look on what tim kaine said on that very same program, if you look what others are bringing up, including her surrogates. They are trying to say hes a liar. Doesnt tell the truth. When does he tell the truth . Is he ready for that type of scrutiny . I cant imagine that probably the biggest liar that ran for president of the United States is going to bring up lies. She told the fbi she doesnt know confidential meant, what c meant. She said it was in alphabetical order. There was no a, b, c, d, e, f on the page. Theres this is a woman who lied three different times what happened in benghazi. Shes lied about things related to National Security. Mr. Mayor, i have to leave it there. Thats a topic we would love. Right. And obviously you have all the
danish you want because no one else is with you in the studio. Thank you very much, mr. Mayor. When we come back, steve is talking to you will athe students about the big debate. Thats next. The pursuit of healthier. It begins from the second were born. Because, healthier doesnt happen all by itself. It needs to be earned every day. Using wellness to keep away illness.

President ial candidates are warming up for tonights debate as a brandnew poll shows the race nearly tied with donald trump leading by two points among likely voters in a fourway race. Joining us to react is hillary
clintons deputy communication director is cristina shocky. Whats your reaction this morning . Whats hillarys reaction to the new poll numbers because bloomberg is reporting this morning that now donald trump is winning. We always expected this to be close. We always said that from the beginning hillary knew that from day one with this campaign, but its going to be a close election. President ial elections in modern history always have been, so, you know, shes out there and working her heart out to earn every vote. Shes excited about tonight. This is an opportunity for her to talk directly to American Voters about her experience, what shes done in her life to bring people together and really deliver results for American Families, like passing Childrens Health insurance. Shes going to lay out her plans for what she would do as american president. How she will make college more affordable, bring down the cost of prescription drugs. Shes really excited to get a chance to talk to American Voters. What is she doing to prepare . Shes taking seriously. Shes got the utmost respect for American People. This is the first time the voters are tuning in to this election. Shes obviously debated a lot in the course of her career in Public Service and shes taken it seriously prepared and ready to talk to the American People directly. Shes been working her whole adull life for this and if she doesnt win and she loses to donald trump, because we watched what happened when they ran against barack obama and she didnt get after the primaries and mou shes running against donald trump who has zero experience. How is she feeling about that . Shes actually not been working her whole life for this moment. Shes been working her entire life as a fighter for children and families. This is a woman when she got out of Yale Law School went to the childrens defense fund. Shes spent her life as an
advocate for americas vulnerable children. Thats what led her to this. You are going to see her talking about that passion, what got her into Public Service and what shes done throughout her career to deliver for American Families. She remembers who shes fighting for and thats whats going to be do doing tonight. Shes making history being the first female who ever made it this far. Some people say she hasnt been treated fairly. Some people in your Campaign Team say she hasnt been treated fairly. Whats your reaction . We want to focus on with the moderators that both candidates be treated the same and really be fact checked through the process. We have something unprecedented with donald trump. As you said, hes never run for office before, but weve also never had a candidate before who says so many things that prove to not be true. Politico did a story that theres something he says every three minutes and 15 seconds that proves not to be true and 70 of the campaigns that hes made in the campaign prove to be false. Weve never had a candidate
a lot of people are saying what shes saying is not true. Trustworthiness hes shes doing worse than he is. Shes not been rated. Politico called him the political liar of 2016. Shes going to be talking tonight about what she would do. They understand she would be a fighter for American Families in the oval office. She if knows trust is not earn overnight. People have questions and shes eager to get out and talk about it. Whats your response shes spinning and shes nervous about this, shes spinning it before the debate happens . Shes a strong steady leader. Weve seen that time and again when shes been in the debate stage and in her Service Throughout her career as a new york senator and secretary of state, i think people are going to see that again tonight when they see shes got command of the issues. We live in a very dangerous and
complex world. We need a president of the United States whos ready to be our commander in chief on day one. We need a president making a difference in americans lives. We get to watch tonight and voters get to skyed in four, five weeks from now. Thank you so much for joining us. Thank you. Thank you. Congressman peter king has the other side of this. He joins us live ahead to respond just ahead. And the guest list keeps growing. Bill hemmer and Martha Maccallum are here with what to expect from tonights show down. Guess what guys, i switched to sprint. Sprint . Im hearing good things about the network. All the networks are great now. Were talking within a 1 difference in reliability of each other. And, sprint saves you 50 on most Current National carrier rates. Save money on your phone bill, invest it in your Small Business. Wouldnt you love more customers . I would definitely love some new customers. Sprint will help you add customers and cut your costs. Switch your business to sprint and save 50 on most current verizon, at t and tmobile rates. Dont let a 1 difference cost you twice as much. Whoooo for people with hearing loss, visit sprintrelay. Com. All right. Bill hemmer and Martha Mccallum join us right now. Great job yesterday. We watched you carry the network as usual. I was actually watching with my family. We were checking out. We did a little dry run. You know how maccallum and hemmer are. Get away. Its my stage. You made your family watch that show sunday. They were so excited. Weve been talking about for how long. A long time. Were a little nervous because its so exciting but can you imagine what it feels like to be Hillary Clinton and donald trump today . Because its scary. Got to be a little scary to walk into that room and know that anything can come at you and you could blow it and any second,
basically. Remember, we were at cleveland in august, and you had 17 candidates, and 16 of them did the walk through, which is that 15minute period where you see the microphone and the lights and one candidate did not. It was donald trump. It sure was. And he walked into that arena and he owned the place that night. And that was the same debate where at the very beginning, bret baier asked about the pledge and that pledge has haunted a number of candidates ever since. Yeah. Probably get a little bit of that tonight. I think one thing we havent talked about yesterday during your show, kind of overlooked a lot of the events today. You got the shooting in houston, texas earlier today. And one in Washington State. That one over the weekend. You wonder how these Current Events will play into the night. Its a crazy world. When those things happen, its sort of a ripple. We report it, but it would be the absolute focus of an entire broadcast in any other environment. So were living in a very
different time right now, and i think the biggest challenge for Hillary Clinton tonight is to present some kind of vision. You know, to inspire people, to show people where she is, because her whole thing has been im with her and his whole thing is make America Great again. I think thats what caught on him for him. Hes got momentum but shes still ahead in almost every single poll. Thats where she is. Thats fascinating to me. In august, Hillary Clinton was eight points ahead. Do you remember that was about two weeks before labor day. Reince priebus said hes going to be ahead or neck and neck labor day week and he was and now hes winning. Hes going to be with us today. Well ask him about that. There was a series of events there where you can almost pin point, martha we were talking about yesterday, where it was the coughing fits or the 9 11 moments or the same weekend, the basket of deplorables. Those were three significant moments that you can trace and track the polling and how the line started to cross. And lastly, race. We have 40 players take a knee yesterday. We had a High School Team on their backs. We had two navy two sailors decide to sit out the National Anthem. One at pearl harbor. Thats going to come up tonight. They be ready to answer that question. The successful the answer would be to bring the country do it. Ive never seen the country in the state its in right now in terms of Race Relations and when you think about the fact that that is a capoff of an eightyear presidency by the first africanamerican president of the country. Thats a story. Thats a real story for our history. Were going to be watching you. Will you guys loan us the band . Im sorry. We dont get magnets. Its unbelievable. If you have ours, why do you need yours . Thats enough. Its good. Ive got two brit hume
easy ill trade you. You do three hours, you get magnets. You just heard Hillary Clintons communication director say this, that she never expected the race to be this close. So what does donald trump need to do tonight to keep the momentum going . Cue the band. Theres one guy that knew how to get here before anybody else. Its congressman peter king. Hes my congressman, hes also former Homeland Security chairman over in the house and known donald trump for years. Congressman king, welcome to the show. Great to be here, brian. Great to have you. Your reaction so far to donald trump getting to the point where hes now up in the latest polls, closing in on the three battleground states. Hes broken all the rules of politics and hes number one and im not surprised. I may have been surprised a year ago but as hes gone along, hes resonated with the American People. Hes saying things they want to hear and they believe and hes willing to shake up the system and Hillary Clinton is yesterdays person. We sat down with cristina shacke moments ago. This is what she had to say about donald trump. Well get your correct. He was called the handsome fire liar of 2015. When you talk about her trust numbers, she takes this seriously. Shes going to be talking to the american p voter about what she would do, they understand she would be a fighter for American Families in the oval office. She understands trust is not earned overnight. She knows a lot of people have questions about this and shes eager to get out there and talk to people about it. The fact is after 25 years the American People have formed an opinion of Hillary Clinton. Nothing she can say tonight is going to make them trust her anymore than they have up to now. Distrust is there. She cant turn that around in one night. The questions about donald trump is ready for the national stage, the international stage, can he lead the country . That he can show on the stage. He can definitely move his numbers. Theres no way she can move hers. She has to hope that donald trump does poorly. If that sound bite, she says political fact called him a liar. Pants 0 on fire. Hillary clinton is the last
person to be talking about trust. Saying she was under fire in bosnia, all the different stories she told about emails. The way shes pandered to black lives matter and turned her back on the cops of this country. What the Hillary Clinton campaign has been effective is is using the liberal media to suggest he doesnt have the temperament. Hes out calling people little marco and lying ted. Hes unreliable. All that stuff. If tonight, on the stage a block away from us, hes up there and he seems president ial, thats going to turn a lot of heads, hey, that seemed okay. Donald trump talks the way the average person understands. With rubio and ted cruz, all that, i supported marco rubio, but donald trump knows how to make points and he does it in a way that the American People can understand. He will conduct himself very appropriately tonight. I think he is going to do well. I have no doubt at all its going to be a big win for trump. You have not just been in
Donald Trumps corner all the time. You criticize the him involving the iraq war and george bush and for you to come around and ted cruz to come around too, thats good for the Republican Party. Congressman, do you want to play volleyball . No. I dont do volleyball. Sorry. Were going to play volleyball. Hes playing center. Hes got the height. Well finish up here at hofstra right here. Dont go anywhere. Its definitely a team sport. Impact is only be the electing most powerful person on the planet. That is about it. What the do you say since we brought the Volleyball Team out here we play athletic . We have pete hegseth. Scott brown. You two on this side. Wrap this show. This is rush from tom sawyer. Oh not fair. Bill thank you guys. This is the day america has been waiting for. Donald trump, Hillary Clinton, ready to face off tonight in the first president ial debate of this election year. New polls showing a virtual tie and the stakes could not be higher. Wow another stunning day here at Hofstra University in new york. Long island. We are 30 miles east of manhattan would you say . Martha i would say so. Bill were 12 hours away. He file like the ball is going to drop. Is super exciting around here. You feel buzz as you walk around campus. The band is done apparently. We wanted to keep the band. Good morning, everybody, im Martha Maccallum
