being on. let s reset at the top of the hour now. i m anderson cooper. thank you for joining us. we re following two major breaking stories that the hour. the downing of malaysian airlines flight 17 that killed 298 people in ukraine. and i m wolf blitzer reporting from jerusalem. the other major story, the breaking story we were following, the crisis in gaza, where israel launched a major ground offensive and it continues. a lot to get you up to date on in this hour. president obama today laying out the priorities and the aftermath of the airline crash in the ukraine. the priorities, learning the truth first, he say then acting. there has to be a credible international investigation into what happened. the u.n. security council has endorsed this investigation and we will hold all its members, including russia, to their word. in order to facilitate that investigation. russia, pro-russian separatists
and ukraine must adhere to an immediate cease-fire. evidence must not be tamper
this is not an ordinary time and this is not an ordinary election. we are going to be choosing a president who will set policy for not just four or eight years, but some of the important decisions we have to make at home and around the world to energy and so much else. so there is a lot at stake. it s one of the most consequential elections we had. that s why i tried to put forth specific policies and plans. try to get it off of the personal and put it on to what it is on i want to do as president. that s why i hope people will check on that for themselves. so they can see that yes, i spent 30 years, actually a little more, working to help kids and families and i want to take that experience to the white house and do that every single day. mr. trump? well, i consider her statement about my children to be a very nice compliment. i don t know if it was meant to be a compliment, but i m proud of my children. they have done a wonderful job and they have been wonderful kids. i conside
structure structures in our political system, as envisioned by the founders, that sometimes they re going to disadvantage democrats, but the truth of the matter is, is that if we have a strong message, if we re speaking to what the american people care about, typically you know, the popular vote and the electoral college vote will align, and i guess part of my overall message here as i leave for the holidays is that if we looked for one explanation or one silver bullet, or one easy fix for our politics, then we re probably
initiative and school nutrition program is a greater threat to democracy than our government going after the press if they re issuing a story we don t like. i mean that s an issue that i think we ve got to wrestle with. and we will. people asked me how do you feel after the election? i say well, look, this is a clarifying moment. it s a useful reminder that voting counts, politics counts, what the president-elect is going to be doing is going to be very different
play-to-play politics, staggering amounts of cash poured into the criminal foundation for criminals, dictators, countries that hate america. reporter: the trump campaign blasted you a new ad, reminding that the goal is to beat clinton. the campaign manager argued this is no time to abandon ship. enough of the pussy-footing around in terms of do you support us or not? the fact is, you know, some of these leaders have been very wishy washy. i think pal ryan has a job to do to keep the majority in congress. reporter: and donald trump is back to attacking hillary clinton s health one day after he released an ad that showed hillary clinton coughing and stumbling during that recent bout with pneumonia in september. trump said in florida here today that she couldn t hold up during one of his events, but we should point out, of course, the democratic nominee recovered from that illness a month ago. jim acosta for us in florida
covering donald trump. thank you. now to the clinton c
could afford to ease up a little bit, right? and they might have done that if the fund-raiser were just for them but they re not just running clinton for president and kaine for vice president. they don t want to just win the white house. they want democrats to win governorships and control of congress or to get as close as they can. they obviously want democrats to get control of the senate. for the clinton/kaine campaign, it is pedal to the metal from now till the end. 41 fund-raisers from now until november 3rd. he had five today alone. he squeezed me in between them. that s on the democratic side. on the republican side, it s nothing like that at all. mateo gold at the washington post reports tonight that the comparable fund-raiser effort on the republican side is already over. in fact, it ended last wednesday. the washington post reports
tonight that donald trump did his last big dollar joint fund-raiser for his campaign in the republican national committee last wednesday a
house. this is picture for that meeting. and for the second straight day the dow bounced on wall street. truly an unprecedented thick and it runs completely counter to many of the prognostications out there before. yet another record today after donald trump s win. michelle kosinski is outfront at the white house. michelle, the moment today of this meeting so many people thought 24e8d never see barack obama and donald trump meet, never mind as president and president elect at the white house. maybe even not the two people at the meeting. and tonight outside the white house more protests but inside today it was all about reassurance and everybody on their best behavior. what was so fascinating about this, on the one hand you have this incredibly organized transition process with handshakes and good wishes on all sides. but then on the other, you have this intense bitterness from the campaign trail. and today the white house didn t really hold back in saying that i have great re
we will hear from the girl and her mom this morning at 7:20 eastern. eric holder is making new announcements. is he adding fuel to the fire? log on for his debate. fox & friends starts now. bye. good morning. it is tuesday, december 2. i m elisabeth hasselbeck. it was a meeting of the protesting minds. president obama holding discussions on the ferguson fallout at the white house all while launching a plan to retrain cops on the taxpayers dime. that s you. is this really the answer? we report, you decide. why is al sharpton there? meanwhile the president threatens to shut down the federal government if republicans the bad guys do not fund his amnesty action. but how much will that cost us? we re crunching the numbers straight ahead. moses an inspirational icon in nearly every major faith but hollywood actor
christian bale wonders if he was more like a terrorist. and if we should send in the drones. mornings are better with friends. hi everybody. i m huey lewis. st
solidify women where they are which is not in his favor. saying about this recording, this was locker room bander and a private conversation that took place many years ago. bill clinton said far worse to me on the golf course. not even close. i apologize if anyone was offended. that will do it for this hour. next we will pick up continuing coverage of hurricane matthew. welcome to our continuing breaking coverage of hurricane matthew. the sterm up the southeast coast after leaving severe damage across the caribbean. there are two confirmed deaths in florida.
winds are at 110 miles per hour. as strong as you get for a category two storm. moving to the north and we will bring you over here and this is a brand-new path. the areas around savannah. if you are in the brunswick area or charleston to georgetown, you are staring at this saying this is going to be a close call. it s not a major hurricane, but even a category two with a wind of 90 to 110 miles per hour. that s what we saw du
one point, two point and even. and i think we have a greater, a tremendous enthusiasm, much greater enthusiasm than she has. yesterday kellyanne conway acknowledged they were the underdogs. let s watch her. where do you see this race right now? do you acknowledge that you re behind? we are behind. she has some advantages like 66 million in ad buys just in the month of september. our advantage going in, we were behind 1, 3, 4 points in some states that mitt romney lost to obama. he will continue to take the case to the people. arguing with fox news decision desk over the results, throwing in the towel, for his party s candidate, let s watch him. if he plays it inside straight, he can get in. but i doubt he will be able to play it he has 186 electoral votes in states that he either leads outside of the margin of
voters. i m not sure what is his strategy? saying he is going to win and polls are wrong or say he is getting screwed, polls are right. what is his strategy here
as we see this splits. yes, let me walk you through donald trump s strategy over the next three days to do the ten state splits. we are calling that hillary clinton s blue firewall, the states of wisconsin and pennsylvania. that s one region and then you know donald trump has to be able to win the must-win florida and north carolina. if he does not win any of those states, this race is over. he has to be able to hone onto that. he wants to be able to go out to the west and see if he could pick off a state like colorado, for example, that helps him out. just to kind of show you then, you know, hillary clinton s
holds. pennsylvania is critical to that. michigan is critical to that. that s a reliably blue state and she will be here later today. and campaigning later on tonight with jay z, she s adding a stop this weekend. the polls are all tied up. she s battling for every vote and not taking any vote for granted, thomas. kristen, standby, lets go to our katy tur. this rhetoric tha
