After insults and campaign stops, Hillary Clinton and donald trump are set to go forward with the first debate. How are they preparing . Theyre live on campus. As the tweet reads. Why do i sudden i feel like im at a let the mind games begin. Donald trump may have threate d threatened former mistress in the front row. But Hillary Clinton is adding another mowing up, mark cuban to taunt trump. Will it work . Well tell you what we know. So glad this is a rehearsal. Hillary Clintons Campaign wants to level the playing field. I think the debate issue,
obviously, let it be an even standard for both. Wow. Even standard from the candidate who demanded a bigger podium. She got it. Pretty savvy. Whether were indoors or out doors, our mornings are better with friends and bands. This is not how i remember college. At 6 01 on a monday morning, when the kids didnt have to go to school, were surrounded by the hofstra pep band, cheerleaders, mascot and weve got so much going on in the parking lot. Because tonight is the debate weft countdown in the corner. 14 47 53 until the debate tonight. The hofstra band, obviously the dance team as well as the cheerleaders. This is their home of pride. The former flying ducks and were going to be talking to all of them. The festival of the chaos which is debate number one. Im sorry, brian, if i repeat what you just said. I cant hear you. You dont listen to me anymore. Give yourselves a round of applause. That was great. [ applause ] we were talking earlier, they all called their parents and said set your alarms for 6 00
a. M. , well be on tv live. The Volleyball Team fresh off a game against north carolina. They arrived at 1 00 in the morning, came to play volleyball in the background. This is the third time theyve hosted the first president ial debate. The first time that its been done at a university. Were 15 hours away from the first president ial showdown between Hillary Clinton and donald trump. Tonights debate should be the most watched in history. At least 75 Million People expected to tune in. Some say 100. Weve got Fox Team Coverage. Mikey manual is covering the news from the clinton camp. First john roberts, wild right on the set with the latest on donald trump ahead of the big debate. Good morning, john. Reporter youve just seen the news. Hes going to hit the band. Every time he doesnt get a question he wants to answer, sweet caroline. What will Gennifer Flowers do . The one thing that we know is that Gennifer Flowers is not
coming tonight. If you look at the latest polls, this is a Washington Post poll, in a fourway race things have tightened up nationwide. It gives you a snapshot of what the country is feeling at any given point in time. Take a look at this. Hillary clinton two points ahead of donald trump, 46 to 44. Well within the margin of error. Thats among likely voters. Gary johnson and jill steinat 1. Its tinnings have tightened up nationally and in the battlegrounds, we see donald trump in some states pulling out a big lead. Gary johnson, hes the one losing voters and the other two are picking them up. Aleppo. Gary johnson was seen to take more from Hillary Clinton than donald trump. If his numts are going down and the top two are staying close, good news for trump. Yesterday at trump tower, he
metaphor an hour with benjamin netanyahu, Prime Minister of israel. That was a good optics, if you will, ahead of the debate showing donald trump as a potential world leader. There he is meeting with Hillary Clinton. Hillary clinton, donald trump looks a lot like Hillary Clinton in that picture. Donald trump in the gilded manor of trump tower with benjamin netanyahu. Is that gold . Not all solid gold. One of the things he made news on yesterday, meeting with netanyahu is saying that jerusalem, the undivided capital of israel has been the eternal capital. Hes in support of them. Theyre arch rivals in life as well as through the campaign. Please greet 62 tall, mike emanuel from new jersey to tell us whats happening at the Hillary Clinton camp. Thank you for the long island welcome. 15minute commute today. This is incredible. We all have blue suits and blue ties as well. Did you coordinate this . I think it means power. Hillary clinton, as you guys know, has invested tremendous time and energy preparing for the critical debate hoping it shifts the numbers in what has been a really close race. Clinton did a lot more debate rehearsal last night. 2 1 2 hours, going until about 11 00 and she also had an opportunity to meet with the world leader. This morning were finding out who she is inviting to attend the debate. A 9 11 survivor, a young woman with cerebral palsy, single mom and Domestic Violence survivor. Another constituent shes been close with since her time as a United States senator. Her runningmate said when the lights are on, clinton will deliver on the big stage. We are six weeks from tuesday and tomorrow we start the homestretch with the debate. I tell you, i know this is about Hillary Clinton. When the lights are bright like they are now, she brings the aplus game to the table. Clinton did a highprofile meeting last night with israeliPrime Minister benjamin netanyahu. You saw trump with him. Now clinton with him last night as well. The latest in the series of meetings with World Leaders to show shes comfortable meeting with World Leaders. Part of the audition to be the next commander in chief. Bottom line, her aides believe its a win for her after being secretary of state. Shes traveled the world. Had a chance to meet with the leaders and reiterate the u. S. s commitment to israel longterm. After traveling throughout the country apart, tonight they get together at hofstra. Thank you very much. John roberts, thank you very much. Well check in with you again. Meanwhile, not far from here is the debate hall where we have a live image from inside and there you can its hard to tell the difference between the two podiums. But somebody yesterday took a picture and it was realized that probably the probably because theres such a height difference. As you can see, the podium screen right is considerably bigger scalewise than the one
screen left. Keep in mind, Hillary Clinton is 54, donald trump is 63. Shell probably be at the smaller scale podium. Right. Look at that wooden plank on the ground. I imagine that will be behind the podium so she can step up on that so she looks like the same height as donald trump. I would go back to secaucus and bush 41. Mike secaucus is about 56, 57. There seemed to be a disparity in height there. I dont know if that played a role. I know when jon lovitz played him the key is when they go out on stage and shake hands. Thats when youll see the height disparity. And then they go to the separate corners and start. Somebody who will not be in the front row is Gennifer Flowers. The clinton camp said were going to put mark cuban in the front row. The president ial on hated that idea. Donald trump said you know what, maybe ill invite Gennifer Flowers and she accepted. It was a joke, however. Although, i think it was Kathleen Willie yesterday said to News Reporters that all of bill clintons exgirlfriends could fill up the entire debate hall. Mike pence says its not going to happen. Theyre not bringing Gennifer Flowers. He was just saying that to mock what the clinton camp was saying. He did say i know as he knows as much, mark cuban, about National Security as i know about professional basketball. Wow. Let move on and talk about Something Else that the camp, its similar to boxing. Both camps, both corners talking about giving their man, in this case a woman too, the advantage. The psychological advantage. Also working the refs. That was made clear. Hes concerned about donald trump lying and not being called out on it. He actually thinks its the moderators job, not his candidates job to call the other one out. Listen to him yesterday on this week with somebody. Im very concerned that donald trump will be graded on a curve. All that were asking, if donald trump lies, that its pointed out. Its unfair to ask for hillary both to play traffic cop with trump, make sure that his lies are corrected and also to present her vision. Were saying this is a special circumstance, a special debate and hillary should be given some time to actually talk about what she wants to do to make a difference in people lives. She shouldnt have to spend the whole debate correcting the record. That is not true. One of the best things about debating is one person should know more than the other. If you feel as though that person is not being candid why would it ever be the job of the moderator at that make sure i dont want to hear from the moderator. We are there to watch the candidates, how they react. Its up to them to know the facts and to know when theyre being lied to. Rather than correct the record, all the moderator has to do, if clinton says something and lester holt knows thats a
fib, mr. Trump, did you think thats correct and give him the chance. Dont put it on lester holts shoulders. Thats crazy. The Debate Commission said its up to the moderator to just ask the questions. Not get involved. We dont want to hear from them. Keep in mind, the clinton camp has been working it ever since matt lauer asked some hard questions. The liberal media was so steamed, they beat him up because he didnt take out trump. Someone we never beat up, Heather Nauert is here. Why would we . Good morning, brian. Great to see you guys. Hope everybody is off to a great day. Start with a fox news alert now.
