the campaign trail as a crusader against these same big banks. >> new fbi files released to congress on friday show a possible back room deal between the state department and the feds. congressman jason chaffetz, republican out of utah, saying, "in return for altering the classification, the possibility of additional slots for the fbi at missions overseas was discussed." >> problematic. chief intelligence correspondent katherine herridge has more on this from washington. catherine, good afternoon to you. >> thank you, martha. state department senior executive patrick kennedy is a key player in the e-mail investigation as well as the 2012 benghazi terrorist attack. and now he's at the center of accusation that's there was discussions of a quid pro quo between kennedy and fbi agents investigating the mishandling of classified information. staffers for three republican members of congress who sit on the intelligence and government oversight committees have reviewed new files from the fbi investigation and given them briefings. the allegation is that kennedy wanted the classification of at least one e-mail changed in a way that would benefit the department and clinton and in exchange there was discussion of more slots for the fbi at embassies overseas. "this is a flashing red light of potential criminality," congressman jason chaffetz, who chairs the government oversight committee, told fox news. "both myself and chairman devon nuance of the house permanent select committee on intelligence are infuriated by what we have heard." this morning on "fox news sunday" anchor bret baier pressed hillary clinton's running mate on the accusations. >> to your knowledge, did anyone associated with secretary clinton or her campaign ask or instruct kennedy to seek changes to classification of e-mails? >> absolutely not. i have no knowledge that that happened. absolutely not. >> but this fbi interview first reported by fox news shows that one of kennedy's subordinates told the fbi that in may 2015 kennedy was pressuring people to change the classification codes. "kennedy held a closed-door meeting with redact ed where kennedy pointedly asked redacted to chait the fbi's classification determination regarding one of clinton's e-mails which the fbi considered classified. the e-mail was related to fbi counterterrorism operations." the fbi provided fox news with a lengthy statement last night in which they said the e-mail classification was never changed in the end and discussion of the classification and these overseas posts for the fbi was not in fact connected. there was no immediate response from the state department, though in his fbi interview kennedy denied any wrongdoing. these fbi files are expected to be public sometime tomorrow morning. then they can be independently reviewed by all of us, martha. >> thank you very much. catherine herridge in d.c. >> so new bombshells to think about on this sunday afternoon, raising a lot of serious questions which could come when trump and clinton face off on wednesday night, 9:00 eastern here on the fox news channel. chief political correspondent washington examiner, fox news contributor. byron, good sunday to you. >> good sunday to you, bill. >> let's pick up where catherine was reporting there. what is significant about how she either defends herself or not on that this week? >> this plays into this whole idea of whether hillary clinton is telling the truth about the whole e-mail scandal, whether she's honest and trustworthy. this idea that perhaps an ally in the state department went to the fbi, asked them to change this classification in a way that would benefit clinton and in return raised the possibility of hey, there might be some more jobs for fbi agents at embassies overseas, i mean, that's a serious problem. we should say that it didn't happen. so it was a discussion about something that ultimately did not happen. i think politically, you have to ask yourself would this have much effect on clinton where other benghazi-related e-mail related allegations have not had as much effect on her. remember back to that 11-hour testimony that she did before the house committee. >> so this was communicated by patrick kennedy, right? >> yes. >> he's the one who did the internal review at the state department over benghazi, right? >> yes. widely thought of as a whitewash. >> hillary clinton was not interviewed, right? >> that's correct. it was widely -- that internal review was widely thought of as a bit of a whitewash that just didn't interview a lot of the key people and it certainly kept any assignment of responsibility well below the secretary of state level. so yes. same person. >> another one here. wikilea wikileaks. and apparently, it shows her sympathy for people working on wall street. byron, you think about the primary battle with bernie sanders. now you know why she did not want these speeches to go public. >> absolutely. she kept all of these secret. they were having daily revelations from wikileaks here. some of the things that have come out are just kind of amusing. when you find out that one of clinton's insiders referred to the democratic base as the red army, well, that kind of tells you something. but it's not a bombshell revelation. one thing i think that's really, really big out of her speeches is that she told a group at one point that she was for open borders. this is something that donald trump and republicans have accused her of for a long time. democrats have denied. and it turns out that she goes in front of a business group and says she is for open borders. it's something that trump, were he perhaps a little better organized, would have made even more use of up till now. >> if she were to win this campaign and be president, do you have any doubt that she would support tpp? >> no. actually, that's another area -- remember another thing we learned from these speeches, that she talked about having a public position on an issue and a private position on an issue. and the transpacific partnership is one of those. she used to call it the gold standard of trade deals. then she turned in the heat of the primary battle with bernie sanders from the left she turned against it. so i think it's one of those things in which her inclination and most of her supporters who are not on the bernie sanders left want her to support it. so it would be very difficulty think for her to oppose it actually. >> at the convention in philly she did not state it, that she would be against it. but she's kind of changed since then. byron, thank you so much. byron york in washington, d.c. some analysis today on sunday. thanks. >> and some new troubles for donald trump as yet another woman comes forward accusing the republican nominee of sexual misconduct. 63-year-old cathy heller alleges that trump accosted her at his mar-a-lago country club in the late '90s while she was with her family. donald trump wasting no time responding, writing on twitter this morning "election is being rigged by the media in a coordinated effort with the clinton campaign by putting stories that never happened into news." meantime, running mate mike pence also weighing in on "fox news sunday" raising one simple question. why now? >> the timing of these unsubstantiated claims that have come forward, all of which donald trump has categorically denied, is i think deeply troubling to millions of americans. and once again the media is piling on is unsubstantiated claims as the headlines while they ignore an avalanche of hard evidence about corruption, pay to play, political favoritism emanating out of hillary clinton's years as secretary of state. >> this is a fierce battle. they are trying to on both sides, trying to tamp down what's going on. and really the ultimate contest on november 8th as to what got through in the end and what people believe and what they don't believe. >> we're going to see on wednesday night too with chris wallace as the moderator, they will be making their final arguments for both sides. it's going to be a big night in vegas. in fact, we'll be there tonight, actually. >> we will be there tonight. heading out tonight. >> stand by. >> we've got some brand new polls to show you that demonstrate that the allegations against donald trump have hurt him in the eyes of voters. in a four-way race, a new "washington post"/abc poll shows clinton up by four points over donald trump, 47-43. nbc news/"wall street journal" poll shows clinton up by 11 points. as you can see, there's a pretty wide range in where these polls are coming in right now. let's get some assessment on this from former congressman dennis kucinich, democrat from ohio and fox news contributor, and matt schlap, former political director for george w. bush. happy sunday to you. >> same to you. >> on a sunday. dennis kucinich, let me start with you. you see the polls. there's a widespread. what's your take on how all of this is getting across to the american people? >> well, first of all, the american people should keep in mind that polls are like weather reports. they may tell you the sun is shining today but on election day three weeks from now or more there could be a storm. so polls might give you some indication but frankly given the beating that trum has taken in the media over the last couple weeks it's surprising that it's still this close. >> let's take a look at the enthusiasm poll that jut came out and get a sense of where each side's voters are for them. enthusiasm among donald trump's supporters, last month it was at 91%. a bit of eph erosion there at 79%. let's take a look at hullry clinton's number. this goes to intensity and turnout. do we have -- all right. we don't have hillary clinton's number on that. i think i have it in here somewhere. matt, your thoughts on that. >> yeah, no, i think what we've seen in this race all along -- by the way, i agree with dennis that the kitchen sink is literally on donald trump's head. he's had everything dumped on him. and the fact there are polls that show him four and five points down, some within the margin of error, it just shows you that people have hardened. when you get to this question of intensity. i think when you hear the negative inflow of news on donald trump on the major networks is 20-1. 20 negative stories to one positive stories or negative story on hillary clinton. so the negative flow has got his supporters worried. they look at these stories. it's jarring. and it has an effect. but what it's not doing, surprisingly, is causing a lot of people to leave him. people are sticking with him. and i think it's a very positive sign for him. >> but it's going to be the people in the middle that we see in these polls over the course of the last couple of months who seem to kind of go back and forth between these two at different junctures in all of this. and dennis kucinich, you know, in terms of donald trump has he done anything to sort of try to fix that gap? >> well, listen, this election's very volatile. donald trump has made some major mistakes. but you know, this is an election where you have two candidates whose unfavorables are very high and in the end it's going to come down to who the american people will trust to be the next president. both candidates are flawed. both candidates have records that are going to be attacked vigorously in the last three weeks. and i want to say this. that keep an eye on what happens in the last ten days of the election because from my experience in politics that is what could turn the election. in the last ten days any issue that appears to be an old issue that comes up could still have resonance in the final days of the campaign. >> i actually disagree with that, martha. for the first time. we've never had an october like this, with everything being dumped. these wikileaks e-mails the clinton officials speak disparagingly against christians and catholics. there's so much out there. bill clinton gets a million dollars from the government of qatar. i mean, there's so much for people to go through. i actually think we have so much noise, so much clutter, so much dust out there in the electorate i'm not sure the last ten days are going to matter. if the clinton administration thinks they have more things they can dump on donald trump in the last ten days -- the clinton campaign. to try to change this race, i think they are mistaken. they have put so much out there it's hard for the voters to digest it all. >> let's take a look at how each candidate is doing with women. because this is obviously -- when you do the postscript on all of this, this is a group that you're going to look at. do you think that donald trump's treatment of women is a legitimate issue? 55% say yes. 42% say no. matt, in the end when you talk about this, you look at individual issues. here's bill clinton and his treatment of women. a legitimate issue? 30% say yes. 67% say no, matt. so is it a mistake for donald trump to be going down that road and bringing up bill clinton at this point? >> you know, martha, i think we should be talking about the issues the voters care about. it's about the economy and the fact that their wages have been stagnant for over a decade. it's about radical islamic terrorism. and it's the fact that washington is broken and we need a disruptor in washington. that being said, on defense if they're going to attack him on his sexual morality, for him to go back when the clintons say it's going to be two for one, when you elect hillary you get bill running the economy. that brings bill into it. by the way, he's also one of her number one surrogates on the road. if he's not involved in this campaign, then quit putting him out there as your surrogate. he was impeached. he was disbarred. he paid over a million dollars in fines. if he's going to be out there on the campaign trail, it's all legitimate. >> and he'll be moving back into the white house. >> as the first gentleman, martha. as the first gentleman. that is ironic. >> all right. dennis and matt, thank you very much. good to see you gentlemen. >> and for the first time ever a fox news colleague will moderate. chris wallace. he prepped for the show wednesday night. and in this week's power player he talks about the responsibilities that come with sevening as moderator. >> this moment, you know, what this moment means for you. >> it means a lot. it means a lot personally. it's kind of a statement of where you are in this business. it also means a lot to me because quite frankly it means something for fox. i'm the first fox moderator to do a general election debate. and i'm very proud for the news organization. i think it's a recognition of the fact that we do serious journalism. some critics say no. but the fact is you and i know we do. and here's the commission on presidential debates recognizing that. >> that was a great piece today. final debate. hillary clinton, donald trump set for wednesday 9:00 eastern live at the campus of the university of nevada las vegas. that is unlv. and tune in for special coverage of "america's newsroom" starting tomorrow morning. 9:00 a.m., 6:00 a.m. local time. we will be opt strip, maccallum, all right here on the fox news channel. very much looking forward to that. >> i think chris had some really important words there. and i think we're all proud of the fact he's going to be the moderator at this debate and it speaks well for fox and this whole process. we're looking forward to it. we'll be on the balcony. >> of the mgm grand. >> looking over the strip. >> kucinich said wait for the final ten days before the vote. what happened to the last five days? the last 15. >> a lot to process. >> a lot of mind spinning across the country. >> i think it has a dampening effect in a way at some point. people just say look, i like this one or i like that one and i'm sick of hearing all this. but we will see. lots more to come. so that final debate in las vegas is the culmination of a long, wild political journey that began with the first republican primary debates. seems like a long time ago, doesn't it? look at all those folks on that stage. we were all there 14 months ago in cleveland. "mediabuzz" host howard kurtz on how this election is almost coming full circle. plus this. >> i think we should take a drug test prior to the debate. i do. i think we should -- why don't we do that? >> athletes do it, right? should candidates do it? you heard the call over the weekend calling for a mandatory drug test before wednesday night's showdown. what is that all about? we'll talk to the trump team next on that and a whole lot more as our sunday special edition of "america's newsroom" rolls on. you can run an errand.

i don't know what's going on with her. but at the beginning of her last debate she was all pumped up at the beginning. and at the end it was like, oh. take me down. she could barely reach her car. so i think we should take a drug test. anyway, i'm willing to do it. >> that from trump in new hampshire yesterday. and that, quote, something is going on with her. bruce levelle is executive director of the national diversity coalition for trump. he's my guest out of atlanta. how are you doing? welcome back here to america's newsroom. thanks for making time on a sunday. >> thanks for having me. >> what is that all about, take a drug test? >> i think it's a fair question. mrs. clinton, unfortunately. and just for the record, our prayers go out to her on her health if there is something going on, first off. but most of all, she does have a history of being a little wobbly, looking a little confuse ed in some of her interviews. for example, i have business owners who own companies here, and to drive a forklift you have to take a drug test that you won't injury anyone. so i think it's a fair question -- >> what in the world would you test her for? >> well, i don't know. i think at the end of the day that will reveal itself to what could be going on. and once again, i think it is really fair to the american people to vet -- part of the vetting process to see if the next commander in chief is of good sound mind and good health to lead this nation. >> i don't know if it's ever been done before. you're serious about this, right? >> well, you know, like i said, i think it's a fair request. for example, president obama was a strong smoker. the question is smoking cigarettes, is there anything -- so i think once again it is a very valid question to ask, especially if a candidate, he or she has some record of looking a little wobbly or a little unhealthy. >> i took his comment more rhetorical than anything else. that's the way i heard it. his debate on wednesday is what? what's the challenge, sir? >> well, the challenge is not going to be -- well, let's put it this way. mr. trump is the most exciting, most energetic person i've ever been around. any candidate that i've been around many, many years, i look at mr. trump as a friend, he's extremely enthusiastic. he's going to bring that same enthusiasm this debate. he's going to be who he is. he's going to speak to the heart of the american people. that's what the american people want. they just want the truth that resonates from his spirit, his soul. and that's what's going to pull mr. trump over the top and bring him to victory november 8th. >> conversely, what's her challenge? because she prodded and provoked the first time and did quite well and then sort of sat back in debate number two. what is her strategy wednesday? >> well, you know, i think if i was her i'd be trying to explain these really terrible e-mails that have been coming out speaking so ill will about the american people, about our catholic brothers and sisters who make up 25% of our voting process here in the nation as well as, you know, calling people like me that look like me deplorables. all these things that she has to account for that are in writing, bill, not rumors or speculation but actually documented in writing. i think she's going to have a tough hill to climb explaining herself. >> we're going to go to that over the coming days, especially when we get to vegas on the ground there. the polling, one from abc suggests it's tightening. one from the "wall street journal" suggests it's not. where do you think this campaign is right now? >> i think we're leading. and you're speaking to a person that -- i'm not paid by the campaign. i'm a business owner here in atlanta. i'm very privileged to represent one of the largest diversity coalitions for a republican candidate in the history of these united states of america with a million strong, with a very strong diverse group of african-american women, african-american pastors, hispanic americans, filipino americans, haitian americans. it's ndctrump.com. we are excited. we are energetic that mr. trump is speaking to a lot of our minority communities that haven't been spoken to before that wants to be championed. we're excited, bill. we're so excited -- >> so last question. >> this is going to be phenomenal. >> in atlanta, as you live there, do you believe georgia is as tight as many democrats would suggest it is this year in 2016? >> no. we are way, way ahead. we are doing very, very well. we're fine. we're engaged. we are -- >> based on what? >> we are strong. and that's just not the fight song, bill. that's the -- >> i get it. but based on what? because i'm trying to read these polls and i'm trying to figure it out. >> well, based on the fact of how well we did in the primary. and we still have that same should i call it tsunami of excitement and fire that's coming to the general amongst all these counties. we're very strong. all our constitutional offices are on board with mr. trump. we're leading in terms of being a catalyst on our education plan here in the south. that mr. trump is very strong in the african-american community as it relates to charter schools. we are very strong in that. that allowed a republican governor to win a re-election based on speaking to that particular issue here in the african-american community. so we're going to get a very large hispanic as well as african-american turnout here in the general like none ever before for a republican candidate, being donald trump. >> i would never consider you deplorable in the first place. and thank you for coming out with us today and taking time away from church. bruce levell, atlanta, georgia. >> thank you, bill. thanks for having me. >> let's go back here for a moment because it started with 17. who can forget that crowded debate stage? remember? all of those many, you know, individuals standing on that stage all that time ago. now you're down to the final debate here. we are going to look at how far we've come in this crazy election year with howard kurtz coming up. plus, while a lot of the focus has been on the presidential election, house speaker paul ryan is now warning republicans how crucial it is for the gop he says to keep control of congress. describing what he says a democratic congress would look like. >> it's a place where liberty is always under assault, where passions, the very stuff of life is extinguished. that is the america hillary clinton wants. and if given control of washington, if given control of congress, it is the kind of america she will stop at nothing to have.

watch. >> can i see hands? who is unwilling tonight to pledge your support to the eventual nominee of the republican party and pledge to not run an independent campaign against that person? again, we're looking for you to raise your hand now, raise your hand now if you won't make that pledge tonight. mr. trump. >> you've called women you don't like fat pigs, dogs, slobs, and disgusting animals. your twitter account has several disparaging comments about women's looks. you once told a contestant on slrns slrns it would be a pretty picture to see her on her knees. does that sound to you like the temperament of a man we should elect as president, and how will you answer the charge from hillary clinton, who is likely to be the democratic nominee, that you are part of the war on women? >> i'll give you 30 seconds to answer my question, which was what evidence do you have, specific evidence, that the mexican government is sending criminals across the border? >> that was quite a night. howard kurtz is host of "mediabuzz" and a fox news media analyst. what a long strange trip it's been, howie. and it's amazing to me when you look back at how prescient those questions were because they really are still the most significant issues in many ways that we're looking at in this campaign. >> right. and jeb bush was among those who didn't raise his hand, meaning he would support the republican nominee, but he has not because the nominee turned out to be trump. you know, martha, ways in a barren room in the basement cleveland arena when megyn kelly was going over her question about things trump had said about women with chris wallace and with bret baier. it was immediately apparent that that question and how trump handled it would be the story coming out of the debate. i had no idea that it would lead to this long trump feud with megyn kelly, boycotting the fox debate in iowa, and that now 15 months later with chris wallace moderating the final general election debate it comes after a week in which accusations by women against donald trump have dominated, maybe have been too dominant but have dominated the campaign coverage and discourse. and here is wallace having a chance to ask about that and a whole lot more. >> i mean, it was clear after megyn's question that this would be an issue that would continue to dog him. if for no other reason because of his past entertainment life, the life that he led, the man that he was. man about town. three marriages over the course of those years. that there was a lot there. in terms of pursuing that on wednesday night, how much do you expect we will hear about this issue and the wikileaks issue for hillary clinton balanced with all of the other good stuff that i know that chris has on his agenda? >> right. well, i've followed chris's career for a long time, well before i came to fox and he's one of the best interviewers in the business. some of the moderators have been harder, frankly, in my view on donald trump than hillary clinton. i don't think we're going to see that here. the wikileaks story and the still daily revelations even coming out today about embarrassing wording and e-mails and collusion with the administration and some journalists have not gotten the coverage they deserve. i'm sure chris wallace, i haven't talked to him about this obviously, will go over that. but at the same time now we're not just talking about donald trump's words. we have women coming forward to various news outlets and saying he either groped them or touched them in inappropriate ways. he is vehemently denying that, calling the women liars, attacking the media for airing or printing these accounts. you have to ask it. the question is how much time will that consume, will hillary clinton come back and want to push that issue. will she be concerned that he will then come back and talk further about bill clinton's accusers and her role in the '80s and '90s. i think it will be good for the american people if certainly it's dealt with. but then we got back to taxes and terrorism and health care and a lot of the serious issues, martha, that seem to have been shoved aside by the tabloid turn in this campaign. >> there's no doubt that those things will be pressed on and pressed on hard by chris wallace. >> when you look at as you always do, evaluate the media coverage of all of this, i saw an analysis from i believe it was friday night's "nightly news." 23 minutes devoted to donald trump and the accusations against him versus something like 57 seconds on wikileaks. what do you think about that? >> it's really indefense ivl. not necessarily equating the two stories. wikileaks tends to be more complicated. there are thousands of e-mails. but we certainly know what's most newsworthy. maybe if there wasn't the trump controversy swirling around the wikileaks would have gotten more attention. the media while don't question the legitimate reporting that's been done in getting on the record interviews with women who make these claims against donald trump which he again has vehemently denied has become in the past ten days ever since that "access hollywood" tape the only story really in the campaign, especially on television. and it seems to me that that is somewhat unfair. and i can understand why people would say it's kind of been rolled out. i don't think there's any evidence, however, that it's coordinated. >> donald trump says the media's out to get him. do you think he has a point? >> well, if you look at the coverage from the moment he came down from escalator at trump tower there's been a lot of hostility against donald trump in the mainstream media. certainly on the right as well as the left. and so i would say that even though people say he got all this favorable coverage in the primaries, he also got a lot of negative coverage and a lot of tough interviews with people. but now i think for a lot of mainstream outlets, and i see this on twitter and elsewhere. it seems they've dropped any pretense of not being against donald trump. that in many newsrooms there's been a conclusion, we're talking about the news side, not the commentators, that he's dangerous, he's not qualified for the presidency, and that is dangerous for our business, that certainly trump should be gone after aggressively, as should hillary clinton but when you seem certainly to be going after one far more than another certainly raises questions about journalistic credibility. >> we will see where this goes. thank you very much, howie. good to see you. >> same here. if we lose the senate, do you know who become the chairman of the senate budget committee? a guy named bernie sanders. you ever heard of him? this just tells you what we would be dealing with in a divided government if we lose control of the senate. >> well, there you go. paul ryan fighting for control of the house, also control of the u.s. senate. and this is really close. not so much in the house. and we'll see which way that goes come election night. if you've got some sort of wave election yes, the house comes into play. but the senate really is for the moment where the action is when it comes to the balance of power. republicans lead 54-46 at the moment. and two of the 46 democrats, they're independents but they caucus with democrats. your magic number here is arog r round four. let's just say that on a map right now. we have seen some of these senate races. they are so super tight. a lot of attention given to pennsylvania. at the moment you look at this match-up on paper between katie mcgintdy and pat toomey. that's .4 percentage points that separate the two of them. the republican trying to hold on to the seat versus the democrat. also here on the east coast keep an eye on north carolina. yeah, it's getting a lot of attention at the presidential level but this is also -- they've got a governor's race there and they certainly have a senate race in the state of north carolina where the republican richard burr right now leads debra ross by about two points. that is well within the margin of error also. another race that has gotten more interesting as the days have gone by is right here in indiana. usually you associated that state with republican, rudy red republican. evan bayh is trying to get back into congress. and he had a huge lead in this race over todd young. but as the days and weeks have gone by, this has gotten very tight as well. just about 3 1/2 points separates the two of them when you put all the averages together. there's three states right now to keep an eye on. further to the southeast, marco rubio is in a good battle there to hold his seat. and kelly ayotte so far seems to be running ahead in the state of new hampshire. talking about rob portman in ohio. he seems to be doing comfortably well, depending on the polling, or based on the polling we have seen from the buckeye state so far. and nevada's going to be a close one to watch as well. joe hex, a republican trying to take the seat of harry reid. four democrats. they find a lot of optimism in two places chiefly. that's wisconsin. johnson is down to russ feingold. state of new york republican mark kirk is trailing to appears polling in illinois also. so come election night, you know, when you're watching trump and clinton keep half an eye on this thing too because it's very important for democrats to try and gain control there and for republicans trying to hold on to the majority they have in congress. keep an eye on it. that's where the senate stacks up right now. >> very interesting. indeed we will. and this for you now. a horrific crash that ripped this car in half, leaving witnesses to wonder how anyone could survive this. plus this -- >> tensions brewing in the mideast as a proxy war in yemen between the u.s. and iran is getting red hot. both sides now firing missiles. we'll talk to general jack keene in a moment. who he believes is behind this act. but first here's the vp nominee mike pence and more. >> when donald trump becomes president of the united states of america, we're going to rebuild our military and we're going to stand tall on the world stage and we are not going to tolerate aggression against american forces or american interests, whether it comes from yemen or is subsidized from any other country like iran. for lower back pain sufferers, the search for relief often leads to places like... this... this... or this. today, there's a new option. introducing drug-free aleve direct therapy. a tens device with high intensity power that uses technology once only available in doctors' offices. its wireless remote lets you control the intensity, and helps you get back to things like... this... this... or this. and back to being yourself. introducing new aleve direct therapy. find yours in the pain relief aisle. she's noticing a real difference in her joint comfort...

>> well, not a move like this. they can make tactical moves certainly without iran's approval. but these are cruise missiles, chinese cruise missiles actually, provided by iran directly to the houthi. those radar sites provided by iran. and all of their significant armament are provided by iran. they would never, ever fire at a u.s. warship, this is the houthi, without orders being provided by iran. it's not a question of having permission. this is something that is directed by the iranians. >> so general, it week ago the "uss mason" reported the first attempt, i'll say, and two more happened since then. why? why would this start? >> yeah. that's a great question. here's what i think is happening. strategically and politically the iranians, ever since the nuclear deal was forged last summer, have been looking for opportunities, and you've been reporting on them, to humiliate and embarrass the united states. most of that has been taking place around the straits of hormuz, as we've been documenting. and why is that happening? because they want to weaken the alliance between the sunni arabs and the united states, which is already weakened. and the iranians are trying to capitalize on that. second, there's a tactical and operational reason here. the saudis have been talking to the pentagon about attempting to blockade iranian shipping, particularly very small shipping, bringing in this armament, into yemen. and we have been resisting that, as we have been resisting a lot of the participation in this campaign against the houthi driven by the saudis. so that is a second reason. the iranians want to put pressure here, certainly for the united states not to get any further involved than it already is. >> one mistake and it's a whole new game here. quickly, sir. this administration thought the nuclear deal would start a new relationship with iran. what is your evaluation of that now after seeing incidents like these? >> well, even the most optimistic person in the white house who thought that some kind of detente, would be achieved as a result of the nuclear deal, those kind of hopes have got to be completely dashed. ever since july up to the present and now using actual military force against the united states by their proxies, which they have done successfully for 35 years, this is a brilliant strategy that they've had because no american president, republican or democrat, has ever countered this strategy. they're going to keep it up. >> general, thank you. a lot going on with this election, but very important news to keep an eye on. jack keane there out of washington. well, "saturday night live" has plenty of material to work with these days. donald trump not happy with alec baldwin's take on him. a recap of their debate -- right after this. ♪ en raised! we've taken our tender, center-cut sirloin, a crispy hash-brown cake, and topped them high with grilled shrimp on the barbie, or onion rings. hurry in... outback steak towers... start at just $ 15.99. sprint?

mistresss. bill, how could you? how will i go on with the debate. no, i'll never be able to remember my facts and figures now. no, donald. this is a steal. hi girls.

time to retire the boring and unfunny show. alec baldwin portrayal stinks. >> like matadors in the ring. two big stories ahead of the final debate another e-mail drop by wikileak hitting the clinton examine and new allegations of misconduct by donald trump as this sunday edition of america's newsroom -- who needs football? rolling on here. >> much better here. >> next. just three days to go until the third and final presidential debate. both candidates are facing even more controversy at this point. for hillary clinton, brand new revelations in the wikileaks document dump. for donald trump he had another woman coming forward to accuse the republican nominee of sexual misconduct. that's where we are with a few days until the last debate. this is obviously a major focus of what everybody is talking about as we welcome you to a brand new hour now on this sun edition of america's newsroom. >> how are you feeling? >> pretty good. a little odd being here in the middle of the afternoon. great to be here with you. i never get to you on sundays. >> donald trump wasting no time fighting back against this latest accusation, taking to twitter earlier today quote nothing ever happened with any of these women. totally made up nonsense to steal the election. nobody has more respect for women than me. meanwhile running mate mike pence weighing in on the timing of these accusations. >> i thought it was right and proper last weekend for donald trump to apologize for the offensive comments that he made. in a video that was released 11 years ago on an open microphone. he said he was sbaersd. he apologized to his family. he apologized to the american people. but, frankly, you know the timing of these unstan ti it aed claims that came forward all of which donald trump has categorically denied is deeply troubling to millions of americans. >> that from fox news sunday. peter doocy outside of trump tower. how much of a drag does the trump team think these accusations are in poll numbers? what's the effect they believe? >> reporter: bill, trump himself did something he hardly ever does this morning he admitted he thinks some of these accusations are starting to be a drag on him are starting to hurt him with female voters and he did that with with a tweet early this morning that didn't have much satisfaction in the text being down only four points in that new "the washington post"/abc news poll. tweet said polls close. can you believe i lost large numbers of women voters based on made up events that never happened. media rigging election. we do have this weekend another accusation against trump this time a woman named kathy heller who said trump put his hands on her and kissed her 20 years ago at his country club at mar-a-lago. she said he was strong and grabbed me and went for my lips. the campaign doesn't think her account makes any sense that the story holds any water with communications director jason miller saying this back. there's no way something like this would have happened in a public police on mother's day president it would have been the talk at palm beach for the past two decades. at a rally yesterday up in new hampshire trump called all the accusations against him phoney. he and his running mate mike pence are trying to change the topic to the information about the clinton campaign that's in those wikileaked documents but so far they've not had any luck to get people to talk more about that than this. >> soefs in new hampshire talking about a drug test for hillary clinton. why is he saying that, peter? >> reporter: bill, trump says now he doesn't think hillary clinton is studying for the debates when she goes mostly the rifle, stays mostly out of sight for a few days beforehand and now he's suggesting that instead of hitting the books she's actually getting pumped up with some sort of pharmaceutical product to get her through the debate and he says that he has a way to figure out once and for all if that's the case. >> i think we should take a drug test prior to the debate. i do. i think we should -- why don't we do that? we should take a drug test because i don't know what's going on with her. but at the beginning of her last debate she was all pumped up at the beginning and at the end it was like oh, take me down. >> reporter: that does fit in with trump's constant insistence that he does not think hillary clinton is physically fit enough to serve as president and at wednesday's debate we know one of the categories is going to be fitness for office so it will be interesting to see how this plays out. >> thank you, peter. nice to see you on fifth avenue. for morton latest trump allegations, miss usa from 2005 is a trump supporter and she has a very different story of her own experience. chelsea good afternoon. good to have you with us today. welcome. >> thank you so much for having me. >> you've known mr. trump for 11 years you say and you say he's never done anything like this to you? >> i've known mr. trump for 11 years. for the past five years he's been my personal business mentor and i've been with him in numerous situations on his plane, at events, at charity functions, around the pageant world and even around his family and i have never been in a situation where i felt compromised. he's been nothing but completely respectful. >> why do you think these women are coming out and do you think they deserve to have their story told? do they deserve to be believed? >> i think everybody has a story to tell. whether or not i believe it is a complete live different side of the story. you know, i heard a pastor friend of mine say the other day god teaches us to love each other but he doesn't tell us we have to trust each other. allegations are just that allegations. until it's proven that it's fact i'm not buying into anything until i see hard factual information. i think that the clinton campaign as well as the media is doing a really good job at trying to divert the focus of what we as americans should fob concussion on in any presidential election. it all comes down to policy. and i would love more than anything else to see that become the forefront on everybody's topic of discussion. >> these kind of stories get a ton of attention. and they are moving the numbers to some extent. let's take a look at some of this. here's a poll. has donald trump probably made unwanted sexual advance was the question. 68% believe he has. here's another one. donald trump's treatment of swem it a legitimate issue. 55% say yes. 42% say no. perhaps some of the reason that some of these women have come out at this point is because what he said on that original "access hollywood" tape that was so specific and they claim that it mirrored their own experience so considerably that they decided to come forward. do you have any sympathy for that argument? >> you know, what was recorded that mr. trump said, i mean he's come out and he's apologized for it. i know i've never said everything perfectly. i don't think any of us have. if someone were to dig into our closet and dug up everything we said or every text we sent or any post we posted on facebook i don't think any of us would be 100% satisfied with things we might have said in moments that were not true reflexes of our character. i don't agree with what he said on the open mike tape but i do appreciate the fact that he took ownership of it, he took responsibility for it and he's done so in a manner that really all could ask for. for me, especially with where we're at right now at the stage of this election, my focus and my, my hope and prayer for the american people is a, to seek god first. because in doing so, god can lead us to who he can upright and can uphold in the presidential office. you know, god can use donald trump in mighty, mighty ways like he's done with many other men in the bible that may not have been perfect moral character but he can use them mightily. i'm not dismissing the moral character. bust i do think that first and foremost if we set aside policy and throw caution to the wind on that we're going to have a very different kind of america than what we know our country to be founded on and i think that's what as americans we need to do first. >> i understand what you're saying. ultimately will make that decision for themselves when they walk into the ballot box whether or not they believe these accusations and whether or not it is of great importance to them when they go to vote. that's something people will decide individually. what would you advise him to do in terms of making this situation better for himself? what could he do to change women's minds, do you think? >> well, i think, you know, he's always in any type of situation, you know, if someone is coming at you, you want to defend yourself. you want to speak truth. if you can speak truth and love in any situation that's first and foremost. i don't think there's anything wong with him wanting to defend himself. we all want to defend ourselves if somebody is coming at us falsely. at the same time i'm interested to see how he'll outline his policy. different things he's talking about at this upcoming debate. things he'll do in the first 100 days once he gets in the white house. those are things i want to hear and i know americans want to hear and i'm praying that the media will highlight because at the end of the day if we do not start focusing and turning our attention on policy as we should with any presidential debate we'll find ourselves in a complete mess. >> we'll see if the focus turns to that in the remaining days. i hear from what you're saying from a lot of people out there and a lot of people would like to get it back to that discussion. chelsea, thank you very much. good to have you with us today. >> thank you very much. another release of hacked emails allegedly from hillary clinton's campaign by wikileaks. appears to show what some call sympathy for wall street in front of wall street executives. the emails revealing several paid speeches she gave toe wall street firms talking about free trade and criticized banking regulation. katie, good sunday to you. you've seen thesing. go ahead and analyze them first. >> reporter: the most interesting part in terms of the 2016 presidential campaign is what these emails show about the struggle of the clinton campaign went through in the primary in trying to figure out how to talk about how wall street is actually be beneficial in terms of free trade, charity work on the campaign trail without losing the primary. bernie sanders' message was one that resonated the left base at this point. i think it shows hillary had to tailor her message away from the principles that she truly believes in. she talked about this with wall street in these speeches, answering questions. >> here's one, goldman sachs, 2013. all right. on screen. here we go. there was a lot of complaining about dodd-frank but also a need to do something for political reasons. if you're an elected member of congress and people in your constituency were losing jobs and shutting businesses and everybody in the press is saying it's all the fault of wall street you can't sit idly by and do nothing. end quote. >> right. so politically over the last few years under the obama administration especially after the bail outs of the early administration and the bush administration, i think a lot of people decided it was going wall street's fault because main street was hurting so badly and wall street tended to work a little better. people forget wall street actually helped people with 401(k) plans so it does benefit the main street. in terms politically hillary clinton really struggled with this because, you know, massachusetts senator elizabeth warren is the one who really pushed her because there were rumors of her wanting to run against hillary clinton, bernie sanders had his message and hillary struggled to get through when she had all this record of praising president obama's tpp plan, talking about how free trade is good for the country and the world in terms much getting workers here at home to benefit and to benefit workers overseas and so politically she really had a difficult time with this. and the answers she was given talking about these things in a favorable way didn't work in the primary process so she had to change her message in terms of of thing to win the primary. >> it's target rich environment for wednesday night when you think about it. open borders. free trade. all these -- all these ideas that bernie sanders was guesting support for. >> and trump is trying to getting support for. trump is trying to pull over bernie sanders voters and he has since bernie sanders left the primary, showing favoritism towards hillary clinton. donald trump has been hitting on this not just the open trade deal and hillary clinton changing her mind on tpp, we saw him hit her on that in the second debate but her reluctance to stick to the plan that she claimed she had in the first place and bernie sanders supporters that come over now and he's tried to pull over some of those, you know, middle of the road democrats who are tired of the trade agreements that trump says are not good for workers. but the be tables have switched here a little bit. workers are usually a republican issue. >> i got you. squeeze this in quickly. this is to john podesta, her inability to just do a national interview and communicate genuine feelings of remorse and regret is now, i fear, becoming a character problem more so than honesty. that's about the server and emails. >> reporter: hillary clinton has struggled for months and months to change the perception she's a liar but within her own party she can be trusted on issues. as we've seen in the emails that came out this weekend and in previous emails we've seen, she's said specifically he has a different position privately than publicly and she's struggled within her own base to try to be genuine not to mention genuine to the american people. >> set the table for wednesday. thank you very much. good to see you on a sunday. so as we've been saying hillary clinton and donald trump will face off for the final time on wednesday. very big night for everybody and especially for fox news our colleague chris wallace anchor of fox news sunday will anchor that debate. the first time a fox news journalist will moderate a debate. chris has chosen the topics. that's wednesday night at 9:00 p.m. we'll get you ready for all you need know heading in to the big night. we'll be live from the vegas strip. never said that before. all week starting tomorrow morning watch it right here on fox news channel. >> there she is. >> live. will i be singing? >> we'll come up with something. how is your blackjack game, kid? >> pretty terrible. i hate to lose money at blackjack. you put the chips down and they disappear. that's my experience. but i'll try if you give me some coaching. >> the drip, drip of details keeps coming from wikileaks. alleged transcripts of these paid speeches on wall street, clinton staffers deciding how to respond. we'll speak with a democratic national committee next the clinton team to figure out how they are responding to all of this today. it is all about one number. 270. that makes one of these people a winner. where does hillary clinton and donald trump stand at this point before they head to las vegas on wednesday night? we'll show you. >> also new polling showing trump has an issue with women. is that the case? i'll tell you what. dana perino on the polling numbers and how the female vote could be deciding the difference in a matter of 23 days. >> take a look. you take a look. look at her. look at her words. you tell me what you think. i don't think so. i don't think so. picking up for kyle. here you go. you wouldn't put up with part of a pizza. um. something wrong? so when it comes to pain relievers, why put up with just part of a day? you want the whole thing? yes, yes! live whole. not part. aleve. what? is he gone?? finally, i thought he'd never leave... tv character: why are you texting my man at 2 a.m.? no... if you want someone to leave you alone, you pretend like you're sleeping. it's what you do. if you want to save fifteen percent or more on car insurance, you switch to geico. it's what you do. tv character: taking selfies in the kitchen does not make you a model. >> it's all about 270. this is what we came up with at the end of last week based on the polling within states trying to put margins together and figure out what's moving in the states and what's not. we got clinton over 300. we got trump at 181. he's got to change the map a little bit based on polling we're seeing thus far. we'll put it in motion right now. give you just a bit of -- we'll do a what if scenario. if this is your baseline for 201 clinton and 164 trump. you saw the previous maps. where are you now on the trump team? where are you going throughout the map to find your electoral votes. certainly down in the state of georgia. a surrogate in atlanta believes trump wins the state of georgia. we'll see about that. also arizona. it's been republican since, for decades now and that's another state where you pick up some electoral votes. you want to go hunting here in the middle of the country in iowa where polling suggests trump is doing well in iowa. likewise in the state of ohio, it seems right now some of the polling suggested hillary clinton has taken an advantage there but you put all of the polls together and it looks like trump still has a lead in the state of ohio. now you had an edge in nevada about three weeks ago. now it seems to be going hillary clinton's way. if you can bring it back your favor after las vegas on wednesday night now you're at 221. now you look at the map and try to figure out what's our next target. no doubt you have to debate the state of florida for democrats and republicans to figure out who can win and get to 270. if he were able to do this now you're at 250 and you go back to the original game plan, was it pennsylvania. is that still in play or does clinton have an edge? and not looking back. maybe. maybe not. if you win pennsylvania 270 clearing the map there. north carolina still appears to be toss up, 15 electoral votes. if trump were able to do all of this, iowa, nevada, arizona, florida, he would only be at 265 and would still need another one of these states. is it colorado out in the west or new hampshire in the northeast or it is pennsylvania? so this is -- this is something we're trying to figure out and again perhaps this is possible. perhaps not. latest polling earlier from today from abc has this race very tight. our poll came out at the end of last week. we had trump trailing by seven. abc has trump down four points. and that was abc earlier today. "wall street journal," nbc came out with another poll and they suggest the margin is 11 points between hillary clinton and donald trump. so just a measure of what we're picking up today so far on a sunday afternoon. vegas tonight, mccallum. be there. >> i'll be there. in the meantime i have some new details in the hillary clinton e-mail investigation as summaries and notes that were turned over to congress show a possible back room deal between the state department and the feds. house oversight jason chaffetz telling fox news quote in return for altering the classification on documents the possibility of additional slots for the fbi at missions overseas was discussed. and he added by calling this quote flashing red light a potential criminality. let's bring in adam hodge director of communications at the democratic national committee. good morning. good to have you back on the program. >> a pleasure to be with you. >> let's talk about this a little bit. obviously this is a very disturbing suggestion that someone at state would suggest to the fbi listen if you just remove that classified marking from those documents, we would appreciate that and then in a subsequent conversation that's very close by say, you know, we're willing to consider those extra slots for fbi in overseas places. i mean it stinks if nothing else. >> martha, let's just remember first place. the intelligence communities was abundantly clear they think russia was behind this attack on democracy and look almost every day i walk past a file cabinet in the basement of our party and the file cabinet that watergate folks broke into. this was just a 21st version of that same crime and it should offend all americans. >> back then we didn't discount what was found in the files. why should we now? >> we don't know if they are real or fake. just this week we found the last fake op-ed submitted supposedly from us at the dnc to the "new york times" and nobody at the dnc cents it. it was a fake document. fake op-ed and we were all -- >> i completely understand the reason why the talking points from every single democrat on this issue seems to be let's not talk about the substance let's talk about the fact it's coming out due to a russian hack. >> it's hack that should offend every american. it's same kennedy that did the benghazi review and never interviewed hillary clinton as part of that investigation. so, i mean, for that reason alone there's reason to question whether or not mr. kennedy was looking out for hillary clinton. now don't you as an american believe that's a question that needs be answered? >> look, martha, one thing i know from my time in government is that the classification of documents can change depending on where things are. what you heard from this morning from tim kaine was that in his experience in the armed services committee that happens to him all the time. i think one of the things -- >> not usually changed potentially for opening up new fbi slots overseas. that's not -- we all understand that sometimes one department cavalie classifies and another doesn't. that's hillary clinton's basis for that. and the american people can think if that's a legitimate reason. but in terms of opening up slots for fbi overseas as part of some sort of agreement potentially, we don't know if that's exactly, if it was a quid pro quo looks like it might have been. >> we don't know because these are all, all of these documents are coming out because of the russians hacked into the democratic party and they are doing this for one reason to influence the election on behalf of donald trump. and the real question that americans should be asking is why won't donald trump admit that these were -- that these documents were hacked by the russians. you know, it begs the question if mike pence can accept it why can't donald trump. >> you don't have to look at one thing to the exclusion of the other. americans are concerned about the russians hacking into any of our systems and no american wants any impact from that on the united states election. but we can't ignore that things that are being revealed here and if there is a too cozy of a relationship between the state department and fbi especially in the middle of investigating the former department head, that would be problematic would it not? >> look, i'm going take my guidance from the director of the fbi who said he saw there was nothing wrong here. you know, i think, again, the real crux of this issue, the real crux of this matter is that these were documents that were stolen by the russians to attack our democracy and influence our election and again that's the most important -- >> i think people can walk and chew gum at the same time and they want to know the answer to both of these questions. i want to ask you about these transcripts starting to come out from the wall street speeches. bernie sanders very much wanted to know what was in those speeches. she made $675,000 that was paid to her by goldman sachs to speak in fronts of them and now we know what she said. she talked about the importance of free trade, sounded skeptical note about financial regulation and said the political system would benefit if more successful business people ran for office. you know, in lying of that she said she's against tpp. is she? >> i think she's been very clear that where we ended up with tpp, the protections for workers was not as strong an issue as she would like. what you've heard from the speeches what she said in public is what she said in private. she talked about closing the tax loophole. that we need more oversight over the shadow banks in our system. we need to make sure wall street reform, you know, works and that it's stronger. >> is she for free trade and open borders or not because she has sung a very different tune in public than in private on that issue and one of the most central issues that's been discussed in this campaign. if she does become president will she support turns pp. will she change her mind? >> i think she's been very clear that she's opposed to the agreement -- >> is she will not. >> look, i think when it comes to open borders she's very clear she's in favor of comprehensive immigration reform and work with democrats and republicans to make it law in her first 100 days. that's the kind of leadership that american people want to hear out of the person they put in the oval office and i think that's why she's strong on this campaign right now. >> adam hodge we thank you for coming in. good to see you, sir. hello. donald trump dealing with media firestorm over allegations from years past while hillary clinton seems to be staying quiet on the issue. so what then is the best strategy? we'll debate that fair and balanced next. >> once again the media is piling on with unsubstantiated claims as the headlines while they ignore an avalanche of hard evidence about corruption, pay to play, political favoritism emanating out of hillary clinton's years as secretary of state. road happy. i'm jamie foxx for verizon, introducing lte advanced powering america's test test test test test test test test test test test test test test test test test test test er. er. oh, you're just repeating everything i said?

"new york times" from yesterday headline issues in hillary clinton's past leave her muted in furor over donald trump. what gives? >> well, i think given the numbers you just reported, bill that she's somewhere between four and 11 points ahead and has close to a virtual lock on the electoral college barring some unforeseen change suggests to me she's pursuing the right strategy. she should stay off the trail and prepare for the debates >> you're saying she should play defense? >> i'm saying ply playing defense she's winning the election. why should she get into as the "times" article suggest problems and issues mostly concerning her husband. frankly when you're winning an election and the other guy is self-destructing as his tweet this morning acknowledged why jump into that fight? >> boris, how do you evaluate this? >> she's trying to run out the clock and so is her team. you saw in the previous segment deflecting the story of direct quid pro quo between the state department and fbi, offering more fbi slots overseas. mr. hodge said that was related to the russian hacks. that wasn't. that information came out of foia request. we now know that the state department was offering slots to the fbi to declassify information to keep hillary clinton out of trouble. >> we covered that already today. i want to come back to the topic at hand, boris. this is a line from the piece that i read from the "new york times". quote the virtual silence from mrs. clinton speaks volumes about the complicated place she has occupied as a 1960s wellesly feminist who stayed as a devoted twief her husband through infidelities and humiliation. >> hillary clinton obviously will do or say or not say anything in order to become president. so she's trying to run out the clock. she's obviously trying to stay out of these issues. and she doesn't want the fact that she smeared, bullied and shamed woman brought up and that's why she's staying quiet whatever she's doing to prep for the last debate. by the way the prepping for the previous debate didn't help her, mr. trump crushed her. i expect the same in las vegas. there seems to be this narrative this election is over. we have over three weeks to go. the abc spol a difference of three points. nbc poll which has always given preference to democrats is larger. this election is very close and very tight and the american people see the option they have between hillary clinton a life longley are a and donald trump who brings real change that 76% of americans want. >> three days to go now. doug what's your expectation for wednesday night? first hillary clinton she poked and prodded in debate number one. she seemed to sit back in number two. what now in number three? >> i think donald trump as he has said will be very, very aggressive as he's been on the campaign trail. certainly in some of the polls got the better of secretary of state, the cnn poll said he won the last debate and the polls out in the last 48 to 72 hours suggest she's comfortably ahead. it's not about winning a debate it's about winning an election. i think she's in pretty good shape. i think she will play it safe. and ultimately probably be up to the voters to determine whether they want somebody who is unprovoked and spends all his time on these sexual allegations. >> boris, is donald trump aggressive on wednesday night? what's your sense? >> donald trump will go after her on wednesday absolutely. he's going after the voters. he's working hard for these votes. he had three or four events while hillary clinton is taking naps. i have to disagree with my good friend running out the clock is not what the american people want in this election or what they want for this country. they want somebody who is willing to lead, twoilg step up to the plate and that's donald trump. hillary clinton will try hide over the next three and a half weeks. it won't work. more information will keep coming out about her failure, pay to play, collusion and corruption. she's in favor of tpp. we all know it. >> boris and doug thanks. three days to go. so donald trump defending against claims that he acted inappropriately with women by going after his accusers. >> i am being viciously attacked with lies and smears. it's a phoney deal. i have no idea who these women are. when you look at that horrible woman last night you said i don't think so. >> polls showing fallout over the controversy. chris starr and dana perino say why a gender gap could be a big factor over the next 23 days. it's endless shrimp at red lobster. with another new flavor you never saw coming... grilled, glazed korean bbq shrimp. and try as much as you want of flavors like new parmesan peppercorn shrimp. just come in before it ends. (becky) i've seen such a change in einstein since he started eating the new beneful recipe. the number one ingredient in it is beef. (einstein) the beef is fantastic! (becky) he's a very active dog. he never stops moving. he has enough energy to believe that he can jump high enough to catch a bird. it has real beef, grains, vegetables, and he loves it. well, we were coming for an interview... so he wanted to wear his tie. (einstein) it's my power tie. it gives me power. (vo) try new beneful originals with beef. now with real beef as the number one ingredient, healthful. flavorful. beneful. see me. see me. don't stare at me. see me. see me. see me to know that psoriasis is just something that i have. i'm not contagious. see me to know that... ...i won't stop until i find what works. discover cosentyx, a different kind of medicine for moderate to severe plaque psoriasis. proven to help the majority of people find clear or almost clear skin. 8 out of 10 people saw 75% skin clearance at 3 months. while the majority saw 90% clearance. do not use if you are allergic to cosentyx. before starting, you should be tested for tuberculosis. an increased risk of infections and lowered ability to fight them may occur... ...tell your doctor if you have an infection or symptoms... ...such as fever, sweats, chills, muscle aches or cough. or if you have received a vaccine or plan to. if you have inflammatory bowel disease, tell your doctor if symptoms develop or worsen. serious allergic reactions may occur. see me. see me. see me. on my way. find clear skin... and a clearer path forward. for a different kind of medicine, ask your dermatologist about cosentyx. so where do we stand now. we have two new polls that show the latest. "the washington post"/abc news poll that shows clinton with a four point lead. that's in the four way race. her lead gross an 11-point advantage. we have two co-hosts of i tell you what and they are here. our favorite show name on the entire network. we love it. chris first on these numbers. do you believe them? >> yeah. they are reflective -- they exist at the opposite end of the spectrum of where averages show us where the race is now which is that trump is seven or eight points down. he's at six, eight, but basically the average of polls and "halftime report" average says that yeah he's seven or eight points now. >> can he close that gap? >> anything is possible. but three weeks out with early voting already under way to say that he needs a reset of the direction and shape of this race is an understatement. >> let's take a look at some of the numbers that we have in temp of women because this is the area that donald trump has to close the gap on. 2016 presidential race you got clinton at 45 with men and trump at 48 with men. so they are pretty close there but take a look at women. 20 points apart with women. and i guess, you know, when we look over the course of this campaign, dana it's not a surprise. he was never in good shape with them and has done more damage. >> he's done better sort of like in the september time frame. >> kellyanne conway sweet spot. >> she came on board. that was the best moment we've seen so far. but that was the best moment for him so far. >> you don't even realize what you're doing which is a fantastic promotion for the i'll tell you what tv broadcast at 5:00 p.m. tonight chris is doing it on the women's vote. >> single women. >> single women. >> all the single ladies. >> of all the eligible voters in america 31% are single women. so that number will continue to grow demographically. because i like to sort of think about -- if i were in somebody's shoes on either side of this campaign what would i do. how would i advise this candidate. if you were advising donald trump right now and say look, donald you're down by 20 points with women. here's what you need to do. comes from the extraordinary press secretary for george w. bush. what would you tell him? >> they have not taken any of my advice. but i think questioning the accusers and deciding that the accusers that have piled up, there's more that come out, the thing is that he brags about the conquest that he has as a man and celebrity with billy wish on the "access hollywood" tape. then in the debate says it never happened i nerve did that which propels women to say yes you did and now he's saying you're a liar. everybody is lying? the media lied? his most effective moment in this whole campaign was when he talked about how hillary clinton had been in politics for 30 years. and she has not been able to bring the changes. this is a change. people do want to change. >> move off. too much damage in that department. >> the other thing talking about the rigged elections i think is terrible for america and doesn't help with women. >> so you can look at it, there's another way you can look at the gender gap. he's doing about ten points worse, twice as poorly with women as mitt romney ended up doing in 2012. so the gender gap is if the thought was i'm going stay on the attack and i'm going to fire up male voters this is a baflt sexes. it is a battle of the sex but only one side is fighting. trump doesn't have a majority something mitt romney did have. that says he's not, if you're going to the health scape election the dudes aren't with . >> you guys should have a show. >> i'll tell you, on jasper, just give me a shot and we'll go to break. so fun. and to remind us of all the election stuff -- all right, new concerns over tensions between the u.s. and iran, missiles firing over navy ships, who was firing and why. more on this continuing story. breaking news after the break. man: i accept i'm not the deep sea fisherman i was. i accept i'm not out on the ocean wrestling marlin. i even accept i have a higher risk of stroke due to afib, a type of irregular heartbeat not caused by a heart valve problem. but i won't go after anything with less than my best. so if i can go for something better than warfarin, i'll do that too. eliquis. eliquis reduced the risk of stroke better than warfarin. plus, it had significantly less major bleeding than warfarin. eliquis had both. that's what i wanted to know. don't stop taking eliquis unless your doctor tells you to, as stopping increases your risk of having a stroke. eliquis can cause serious and, in rare cases, fatal bleeding. don't take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. while taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily. and it may take longer than usual for any bleeding to stop. seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. eliquis make increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. i may not be going for the big one, but i'm still going for my best. and for eliquis. reduced risk of stroke, plus less major bleeding. ask your doctor if switching to eliquis is right for you. keep an eye on this story, growing tensions between the u.s. and iran, the pentagon saying growing rebels may have launched missiles for the third time this month. how did this start? >> well, bill, the assessment is still going on but as you mentioned the signs point back to the iran-backed rebels, the same groups responsible for the attacks on the u.s. war ships this week. the latest incident involved three u.s. war ships patrolling international waters in the red sea with they detected possible in-bound missiles coming from the coast of yemen, one of the missiles were launched and they were successfully able to take out the in-coming missiles. now, the back-drop for the attacks were the ongoing civil war incidents going on for two years. as to now, the u.s. avoided being involved, but had allowed weapons. three days ago, president obama launched missile strikes against the huthi rebels, the pentagon says we can expect to see more attacks like that from the u.s. if these continue. >> a lot to follow, and complicated but very important stuff. thank you, live in washington, garrett tenney. back in a moment after this. them. the new marriott portfolio of hotels now has 30 brands in over 110 countries. so no matter where you go, you are here. join or link accounts today. here you go.picking up for kyle. you wouldn't put up with part of a pizza. um. something wrong?
