Administration claims and threats as quote, hysterics and ridiculous. Kevin cork is at the white house tonight. Reporter proportional, thats the word Obama Administration officials are using to describe the potential u. S. Response to russias hacking activities. Said to include email leaks, including another 1200 today posted by the website wikileaks, targeting the american political system and most notably Hillary Clintons campaign. Democratic Party Leadership and the clinton state department. John kerry said the russians should and ultimately will pay for what they have done saying the u. S. , quote, will and can respond in ways that we choose to at the time of our choice. Experts say that could include economic sanctions or other punitive actions designed to deter other bad actors from mimicking moscow. White house officials said echoed the threat. That kind of proportional response that the president would consider is not necessarily the kind of response that we would announce in advance. Reporter its not just a cyber war that moscow is waging. Putin and foreign secretary are also engaged in a pr offensive. Each downplaying the kremlins suspected role in interfering with the u. S. Election. Translator theres nothing in the interest of russia, hysterics have been whipped up to distract the attention of the American People from the essence of what the hackers released. Its flattering, of course, to get this kind of attention for a Regional Power as president obama called us some time ago. It has nothing, you know, to be explained by the facts. We have not seen a single fact, a single proof. Reporter john podesta says the fbi is investigating the hack of his emails and suggested moscow was attempting to tip the political scales Donald Trumps way. Russian intereference in the election and their apparent attempt to influence it on behalf of mr. Trump is, i think should be of utmost concern to all americans. Reporter analysts say cyber hacking is a new tool in an old kgb tactic. Theyre trying to erode trust and undermine confidence in our electoral system. They referred to it as compromising information or deceiving others of their activities. This is part and parcel of what we have seen kgb trade craft during the cold war. Reporter in august, you may recall that they said russia would never interfere with the internal affairs of other countries. He didnt say that today. Said we did not deny it but they did not prove it. The clearest indication of who is behind the hacks. Kevin, thank you. Catholics and evangelicals are upset over one email.

Im a catholic. I dont recognize that email that we saw. This whole effort is led by the russians. We are not going to do any more to comment or aid their efforts. Reporter this is another concern for catholics with the Clinton Campaign after her running mate tim kaine, a catholic, changed his public position on the amendment restricting the use of taxpayer dollars for abortion services. Catholics make up 21 of the u. S. Population and have significant representation in critical battleground states like florida, wisconsin and nevada. Today, the trump pence ticket pounced. The emails are the latest evidence of the hate that the Clinton Campaign has for everyday faithful americans. Men and women of faith, i will tell you, this is a time for action, not essays. We must roll our sleeves up and be prepared to fight every day for what we believe in. Reporter moments ago, paul ryan jumped on the catholic controversy. Ryan calls the Clinton Campaigns quote disdain for the catholic faith and christian evangelicals staggering.

Reporter donald trump blasted paul ryan. Wouldnt you think that paul ryan would call and say, good going . In front of just about the largest audience for a second night debate in the history of the country. Theres a whole deal going on. I always figure things on. But theres a whole sinister deal going off. Reporter he suggested that the speaker could lose his job. I want want to be in a fox hole with a lot of these people. I would think that ryan maybe will be in a different position. Reporter citing more hacked emails, trump slammed clinton as a religious bigot for derogatory commends by her staff against catholics. They attack catholics and evangelicals. Viciously. And that wont be tolerated. It wont be tolerated by the voters. Reporter faith politics are playing big in utah, the highest mormon population. Trump is in a tie with clinton and mcmullin. Today it was clinton who got the endorsement of the Salt Lake Tribune concluding shes the only candidate who comes close to being qualified and fit. Nebraskas senator saying she would not support trump after seeing the video about his comments about women is a supporter again. Senator rob portman of ohio, who has largely kept quiet, says he cannot support him. In lakeland, florida, trump suggested he will reinvestigate the investigation of clintons email server. We are going to investigate this phony investigation. Its a phony investigation. Reporter trump is using clintons hacked emails to amp up his nationalist american first rhetoric. The emails confirm what those of us here today have known all along. Hillary clinton is the vessel, a corrupt global establishment, thats raiding our country and surrendering the sovereignty of our nation. Reporter trumps threat to imprison clinton got pulled back by his campaign manager. That would have to be adjudicated through regular channels like anyone else. Reporter part of trumps preparation for next weeks debate is bashing the commission on president ial Debate Commissioners. He said he found out that former white house secretary mike mccurry of the Clinton White house is one of the cochairmen and he has no respect for the Debate Commission itself. Earlier this week, trump called for the resignation of republican commissioner frank farenkoff because he refused to let the Clinton Accusers in the trump box so he can get on stage. He has prep to do in terms of preparing for Hillary Clinton as well. Outside the president ial race on election night, the big story is the balance of power in the house and senate. In recent days, theres been more talk about the house and how many seats republicans will lose. Right now its 246 republicans to 186 democrats. There are three vacancies. The democrats have to pick up a net gain of 30 seats to take control. There have been a lot of estimates in recent weeks. Cook political report says this, republicans are now well within the reach of holding their november losses under the 13 seats they gained in 2014. 13 or under. Its october 4th, thats because the trump tape came out and before some of the shifts that we have seen. Nancy pelosi, the House Minority leader is sound are more and more confident. I feel very confident that if the election were held today, we could win it all. The election isnt today. We will see. The fox projection right now is anywhere between 12 and 18 seats. It could shift in the next month before election day. If you see a wave, we could see that in the next couple of weeks. That is what were looking at in the house. In the senate, you have a majority for republicans. 44 democrats and two independents who caucus with the democrats. Look at the map of how it stands tonight, you can see that the red is republican, the blue is democrat. The gray is actually those are states that dont have senate races this year. Judging by the average of polls tonight and giving the winner even a razor thin margin in the average of polls, here is what democrats pick up as of tonight if the election were tonight. They would win in illinois. Tammy duckworth would take out the incumbent. A but thats it. Thats it for democrats. On the republican side, the one change that they pick up is nevada. Look at those numbers. 53 47. A loss of one. That is the question, whether they can hold that. A lot of these races are within the margin of error. Including North Carolina, pennsylvania, New Hampshire and right here in missouri. Missouri republican senator roy blunt is hanging on to a slim twopoint lead in his race against jason candor, thats according to this, the latest survey out today. He was up five points in august. The contest has become pivotal to the democratic efforts as you can see to retake the senate. Here is correspondent matt fin. Reporter missouris republican senator roy blunt is under pressure to deliver on election day. If republicans are going to hold their senate majority, he needs to win. My opponent is a guy who run for three offices now in seven years. He is clearly focused more on getting a job than he is on doing the job. Reporter blunts opponent is a washington outsider, jason candor who was ranked as the top candidate to shift power in the senate. Senator blunt wakes up every day thinking about what he can do for special interests that day. And im a veteran of the war in afghanistan who has demonstrated the ability to work to get things done. Reporter most an lifralysts suggested blunt was the clear front runner. But now they list missouri as a tossup state with blunt ahead by just 2. 3 points. Its going to be competitive right down to the end. Missouri races sometimes are like that. Reporter adding to interest, concern over whether Donald Trumps divide with the Republican Party will hurt the gop in senate and congressional elections. Senator blunt tells fox he stea as long as its between donald trump and Hillary Clinton, im for donald trump. Reporter blunt wants to make sure a conservative judge is appointed to fill the empty seat on the supreme court. Candor is fighting for the working class. One of the hottest debates right now is whether the blue collar state of missouri will allow employees to opt out of union dues. The policy of right to work. Its one of his attack ads thats garnering buzz and support from some conservatives. In the army, i learned how to use and respect my wierifle. Reporter he is arguing the Second Amendment is meant to keep guns out of the hands of terrorists and criminals. I would like to see senator blunt do this. Reporter theres been one debate in this race. Candor is demanding more. Blunt has not scheduled any telling fox he would rather talk directly to the people. Matt fin, thank you.

Its too close to the election to take a chance. Reporter patriot majority usa says its nonpartisan. Its website is attacking mike pence on the states investigation. He is still the indiana governor as well as Donald Trumps running mate. Eric, thank you. He will have another voter fraud story sunday night on special report.

Two people were on board. The one who survived says the crash was deliberate. Rob schmidt is live tonight in east harford. Reporter the Associated Press is reporting that this was the suicide. They say they have government sources telling them this was a suicide. This was not terrorism. I can tell you one of the other theories thats being worked on we dont have anything confirmed tonight. If you see behind me, the scene here, speculation that this could be a terror plot against defense contractor pratt and whitney. They make jet engines for the military. There would be a motive if that were the case. The plane went down yesterday afternoon here in east harford on main street. It missed the headquarters by 200 yards. It slammed into a power pole. There was a major fire on main street. Two people were on board. The instructor went to the hospital with severe burns in critical condition. The student pilot was killed. Nobody else was hurt.

The investigation is in its infancy. Reporter the instructor we know is talking, the instructor that survived is talking with federal authorities. All we know that he has told them is that the plane was brought down intentionally. Thats why the ntsb turned this over to the fbi. He has not said whether or not to our knowledge he has not said whether this was terrorism, whether it was a suicide. Nothing has been ruled out. According to reports, the full name is Ferris Mohammed friteck, 28 years old from jordan in the middle east here on a student visa. He is licensed to fly small planes according to the faa. Nothing else pops up when we did a search of him. The local paper here in harford is saying he told the instructor he didnt want to fly the plane anymore and there was an argument in the cockpit. The Associated Press saying this was a suicide. Thats not confirmed. We will wait and see. We will get breaking news here. Thank you.

American troops are fighting terrorists in middle east now with something new to worry about. It comes in the form of a weapon that u. S. Forces have used to their advantage for years. This is the way battlefields are shaped in the 21st century. Reporter terrorist s seekin to wound and kill are turning to something average americans can buy with just the click of a mouse. Drones. Last week, Kurdish Forces battling isis shot down a small drone. As they were trying to examine it, it exploded killing two of them. Pentagon officials acknowledge the technology is incredibly easy for terrorist tofz obtain. Some of those are quad. Dale copters. Items u. You can buy. Nothing hightech about them. They can buy those as anybody else would. Some of those are available on amazon. Reporter even if used solely for surveillance, they present a risk, giving the enemy the capability to remotely assess and monitor opposing forces. Thats critical heading into the offensive to remake mosul. The ability to weaponize these devices. They can pack more and more explosives on to them. Commit even largerscale attacks where they are not just attacking an outpost or a small group of soldiers but rather buildings and headquarters and more strategic targets. The threat is growing. Reporter some defense analysts say the pentagon hasnt taken the drone threat seriously and is playing catchup. Officials maintain they are well aware of drone tactics and how to counter them. We have seen them over coalition bases. We have seen them over iraqi bases. Its a threat that we have seen, you know, developing for some time. We have engaged some of them with some of the capabilities that we have. Both we and our partners have shot some of them down. Reporter imperative giving the growing explosive expertise of operatives. Attaching high explosives to a small drone and detonating it remotely is within their capability. Reporter the pentagon wont say exactly how its handling the drone issue. Experts its a combination of using technology to jam the functions and actually physically shooting them down which becomes increasingly critical as isis leverages its ability to weaponize them. Thank u. Lawyers for the last surviving suspect in the november paris attacks are quitting. He refused to speak to protest the conditions of his detention. Authorities had hoped he would provide information about isis strategies and networks and identify others who may have played a part in the strikes that killed 130 people.

Russia brokered ceasefire last month. I u. N. Security resolution calling for a new pause to the fighting was vetoed just this past weekend by russia. Putin today, its purpose was simply translator to exacerbate the situation and to whip up an antirussia hysteria. Reporter so the russianled air strikes continue with the aim akorccording to some to dri everyone away, maybe overrun the city by the end of the year. With the Obama Administration left mostly to simply protest. Thats deeply, deeply concerning. Its immoral. And it runs directly against the kinds of values that we hold dear in this country.

She said, you have to say to the public and you have to say to your donors different things. The press doesnt even pick this stuff up. The russian interference in this election and their apparent attempt to influence it on behalf of mr. Trump is should be of utmost concern to all americans, whether democrat, an independent or republican. John podesta talking about the hack on his email saying its an russian operation, the fbi is looking into it. Theres another email dump this morning, 1,200 more. A couple of them raise eyebrows. This is one march 2015, an email chain from three clinton staffers discussing a house subpoena of secretary clintons emails. This takes place roughly three weeks before a clinton it person uses that bleach bit to wipe her server clean. This is an aide of Hillary Clinton. Robby mook responds cheryl mills writes to both. Lets bring in our panel tonight. Steve haze, susan page, and tucker carlson. Susan, you look at the emails. Everything the democrats and Clinton Campaign are saying is to point to the russian part of this. On the substance of the emails, this is three weeks this one before we learn that the server is wiped clean. But its after the house issues the subpoena. My husband also a journalist said this is like reading a postcampaign book but during campaign of all the stuff you do reporting about to get this is its very interesting to get inside their heads as they are trying to strategize how to handle the issue. It has gotten less attention than you think it ought to get given how interesting it is. I dont see a huge bombshell here. But i agree that this is something that is like reading a novel. You need the an notation you were providing. Part of the problem is you have to invest time to go through these things. News organizations have to get off whats easy and go into whats hard. That was actually part of the problem with the benghazi story, too. You had to tell the story every time you told it. Here is another one. The second one is from this is about the efforts to to get emails in response to the calls for Hillary Clintons emails. This again from Philippe Reines. They ended up i dont know think it was Philippe Reines who filed it. The emails about Jason Chaffetz is coming out. His own emails arent subject to this. I think the big takeaway object email question is this. Hillary clinton said all along she was eager to have her emails out. She wanted people to read these. There was no nothing nefarious. She wasnt hiding anything. If she had her way, she would have put more emails out than what she was required to put out. This obviously shows day by day, email by email, that that was not true. For those of us who cover this, we knew that wasnt true when she was saying it. It is something a little different to be reading it this way and look at the lengths to which they went to set up obstacles to releasing new emails, to framing the release of new emails, to downplaying it its like you are seeing the inside of the campaign as the campaign itself is being created. This one is about catholics and evangelicals. Conservative catholicism. Jennifer responds tucker . This is infuriating on a bunch of different levels. For one thing, here you have two people, one of whom is the communication direction for Hillary Clinton maligning Worlds Largest religion. You can think of other World Religions that are more retrograde. If the subject were islam, the president would have a press conference urging all of us to quell our antiislam add republican emails whats amazing is i spent most of the day reading this stuff. Some of it rocks you a little bit like this. Some of it doesnt. All of it is interesting. None of it is being covered s c i want to play a response to this. To suggest somebody is becoming catholic or becoming a christian and raising their children in the faith, why, for political purposes . Thats not thats not smart. Thats not american. This isnt just anticatholicism. This is antiamerican talk. I think catholics will get more enraged and question marks will hover above this campaign. What do they intend and how do they think catholics and evangelicals fit into america . Im a catholic. I dont recognize that email. That we saw. This whole effort is led by the russians. The russians want to orchestrate an attack we believe as noted by the statement from the director of National Intelligence that they are behind the timing and manner of the leaks. We are not going to do any more to comment on aid their efforts. Susan, i mean, how big a problem lets imagine it was getting covered everyplace. How big a problem is this potentially . This particular the catholic one. Being respectful of other peoples religion, its a fundamental american tenant. Its an important thing. Theres a snarky tone to the exchange. I would say the most inappropriate language came from a guy with the center for american progress, the think tank. Shes is she doesnt recognize this email. The Clinton Campaign has to be able to refuse or deny they wouldnt go this is real, this one is not real. In this case, shes saying she didnt recognize it. Thats not a denial. Is that good enough . Wait a second. You dont raise that . I think that they in the interest of transparency, they ought to say, yeah, these are emails and we will discuss whats right and wrong. Say, these are fabricated and we didnt write them. They are lying. Its that clear. Theres no proof the russians are behind them. The u. S. Intelligence Community Says that. They dont have proof. Theres no proof and no one is alleging these are forgeries. Is the data real . Thats the first question you ask. Is it true . Theyre not denying that. Go to the front page of the Washington Post or new york times, i couldnt find a story about this. Thats suppression of the news. This is relevant. I want to follow up on something we brought up last night. That was the email that involved donna brazile. We showed you the email and what she said she got a question early and she denied it. Said she never provided a question to Hillary Clintons campaign. Cnn denied it. Today, politico got ahold of another email that is exactly verbatim the question that was asked in the town hall. And cnn is now pointing to their partner, Roland Martin with tv1. Bottom line is, this is exactly the email we were talking about last night and its the exact question asked. If the email is real and if that happened, thats not how journalism is supposed to work. Thats an understatement. You cant provide questions to politicians before they come on air to be tested by answering questions for the voters. It would be sort of breaking of the Cardinal Rule of journalism if that was the case. I mean, you can see theres a distinction between somebody like donna brazile, she wants her side to win. What journalists do. In my mind, thats no excuse if she provided the questions to Hillary Clinton so that she could prep for them, create an answer for them, rehearse them and present herself as if this is the first time shes hearing it. In fact, sad, in the answer, thats a difficult question. Its not actually if you have the question the day before. We will go back and try to get a different followup on this with the additional politico email. Balance of power in congress. What the panel thinks of that. This is eric gibson. He and his wife briana made the Bold Decision to buy their home four months ago. And even though they have no idea what the future has in store for them, they bought into a 30year mortgage anyway. Because they werent just thinking about their future. Buy in. Quicken loans. Home buy. Refi. Power. I feel very confident if the election were held today we could win it all, but the election isnt today. Well work with whoever wins whatever office. Obviously i think with a unified republican government we can get so much more done. Im tired of a divided government. It doesnt work well. Were just at logger heads. Weve got knock down, drag out, sort of like a knife fight in a phone booth. New hampshire, pennsylvania. Wiscons wisconsin, illinois, nevada, indiana, florida. We seem to have gotten some distance in ohio, but, you know, everywhere else its it could go either way. North carolina there, but its there. House representative balance of power, there you see it. Democrats need 30 seats. Senate balance of power, you have 54 46 and there are some tight races. Back with the panel. We asked each panelist to choose a state thats of interest, either in the senate races or house races or president ial. Steve, youre first. Mine was North Carolina which might have been a better state to pick about two weeks ago when things looked like it was potentially going to be more competitive there. Right now if you look at the president ial race Hillary Clinton is up 2. 6 points in real good politics average. Things seem to be trending in her direction. You talk to people in the states after this trump tape and everything seems to be moving in her direction. The senate race there, richard burr whos the chairman of the Senate Intelligence committee, huge veterans community, was thought to have been a pretty safe republican seat, he led every single poll into august and then started having more competitive polling in august. His opponent, deborah ross, head of aclu in North Carolina overtook him in some of those polls and although Mitch Mcconnell didnt mention it there, thats a basically dead even race. If you talk to republicans who are monitoring the daily polling taking place in senate races, battleground races across the state, theyve seen an eight and ten point drop in these races. Races that have shifted. Susan, your state. The answer to this question is always florida because trump needs it if hes going to win. Hillary its been very close. Hillary clinton is doing a little better there. The senate race which we thought rubio was going to be good there. Its a two point race even against a democratic candidate not considered that strong, pat murphy. 24 of 27 Congressional Districts were redrawn under orders by the florida supreme court.
