Middle of the heart, and she wouldnt be prosecuted. Meanwhile, the pundits keep critiquing donald trump, but he is gaining ground. Both nationally and in swing states, leading democrats to wonder, why isnt she doing better . Also, in the closest thing to a debate that we have had so far, the big loser was the moderator, matt lauer. Will the medias Rough Treatment of lauer impact moderators of the real debates. And as we mark the 15th anniversary of 9 11, congress has just approved letting victims sue saudi arabia. But will the president stop that with a veto . I will ask the nations first secretary of homeland security, tom ridge. But first, both candidates said shocking things last night that will only perpetuate their high negatives. Theres a third party in the race, fighting its way to the debate stage. And the libertarian ticket, gary johnson and bill weld, will be joining me later in the program. This week, johnson finally became a National Name in the president ial race, but not
I appreciate the discussion to all our panelists. Thank you for watching tonight. Cnn tonight with don lemon starts now. Announcer this is cnn Breaking News. Breaking news, the president ial candidate goes head to head over National Security, bombshell emails released that show colin powell advised Hillary Clinton about using emails without going threw State Department servers. Secretary powell advised secretary clinton with a detailed blueprint on how to skirt Security Rules and Bypass Requirements to preserve federal records. I goes on to say clinton made it clear didnt rely on powells advice. As the new broke tonight, Hillary Clinton told nbc eaves Commander In Chief forum this. It was a mistake to have a personal account. I would certainly not do it again. I make no excuses for it. It was something that should not have been done. And at the same event tonight, donald trump goes on the attack against some of this countrys generals. I think under the leadership of barack obama and Hi
One of the things that donald trump said that i think stood out for a lot of people was him having to comment on his answers that he knows more than the generals. This was the exchange between him and matt lauer. The generals and you barack obama and Hillary Clinton have not been successful do you know more about isis than they do . I think under the leadership of barack obama and Hillary Clinton, the generals have been reduced to rubble, they have been reduced to a point thats embarrassing for our country. We have a force of 30,000 people, nobody really knows, but probably 30,000 people and i can see The Great General George Patent Spinning in his grave as isis we cant beat. Certainly and we have discussed this, don, there are some in the military who may want to see more action but donald trump did not really answer the question there which was basically saying that he knows more than the military. He did not address that at all. And then the other thing was pretty surprising, it was
Be Commander In Chief but trump is looking to turn the numbers around, laying some sharp criticism on Hillary Clinton. She never talks about policy. Reporter donald trump and Hillary Clinton Clashing Over whos ready to be Commander In Chief. He has no clue about what hes talking about. Reporter trump unveiling endorsements from nearly 90 retired u. S. Military leaders. And revealing his plan to demands a plan to take down isis. Were going to convene my top generals and give them a simple instruction. They will have 30 days to submit to the oval office a plan for soundly and quickly defeating isis. He says he has a secret plan to defeat isis. But the secret is, he has no plan. Rs clinton warns trump will lead the u. S. Back to war. When it comes to fighting isis, he has been all over the map. You would have to literally map it out. Hes talked about letting syria become a free zone for isis. Look at the map. Donald. Hes talked about sending in american ground troops. Not on my watch. Rep
She got the kinds of questions and issues that donald trump didnt. I think she wants to make her case, both about the substance of what he says but also about his confidence to be the leader of this country. And before we dig into substantive issues, jeff, i just wanted to ask you about one thing. It did strike me that hillary clibten w e clinton was trying to joke with reporters. She was trying to sound like she was buddies with some of those reporters. I found that interesting. I dont think we have jeff zeleny i do have you, carol, if you can hear me. At the end of that news conference, she was getting a little bit playful with her press staff was trying to cut short the news conference. Andrea mitchell of nbc news had a question and that was the exchange you saw there with Secretary Clinton. But the question, in fact, was a very interesting and good one that elicited that response you saw at the end. I think the big takeaway from this, this is a brandnew moment in this campaign. She
