Toward danger. I worked to make our country safer and to rebuild new york and the pentagon. But i always, always was determined to do anything i could to bring bin laden to justice. [ cheers and applause ] and thanks to the very patient painstaking work of the american intelligence community, finally when i was secretary of state, we were given the opportunity to evaluate the best evidence we had seen in a long time. And i was honored to be part of that small group in the situation room advising president obama as we went over the evidence over and over and over again, trying to decide was it credible enough, Strong Enough to take action. And if we did, what kind of action. Would it be a missile strike . Would it be a bombing . Would it be an attack by special forces . And when it came time to go around the table, these were all extremely experienced, thoughtful experts. We all gave our opinions. I was one who said i thought it was worth the risk. You go girl [ cheers and applause ] an
New york times, will hiring the executive chairman of breitbart, the controversial and fiercely protrump website help the campaign . And the media remains skeptical about trumps tone. Sometimes in the heat of debate and speaking on a multitude of issues, you dont choose the right words or you say the wrong thing. I have done that. And believe it or not i regret it. As journalists question whether this new approach will last. Hillary clinton accused by trump of lacking the mental and physical stamina to fight isis. Is the press calling fo ining f making her health an issue . Canceling the late night show, can the network no longer make comedy gold out of politics . Plus, should the press have fallen for ryan lochtes bogus burglary story . Im howard kurtz and this is media buzz. Donald trump insisted he wasnt going to pivot. He wasnt going to change.

Ill ask the cochair commissioner on president ial debates what he thinks. Plus a revolutionary plan to report election day voter turnout live as its happening. Instead of waiting for the polls to close. Is this good or bad for democracy . Jeff greenfield will weigh in. And nobody knows both these candidates better or has been more critical than each than maureen dow. She is here, too. Yes, Colin Powells hacked emails expose some salacious gossip in the election. Dan abrams is here and ill explain. But first, i want the final word on trump and birtherism. Yes, donald trump finally relented and stated the obvious yesterday that president barack o

Trump has been reading scripts from a teleprompter all week, but the substance is squarely within the breitbart wheel house, stoking fears about muslim immigrants infiltrating the u. S. And invoking law and order and other racially coded language about crime.
