Fox news alert. We have learned that Hillary Clinton has pneumonia. As the race for the white house enters the home stretch, less than two months to go. Now the issue of Hillary Clintons health. Which for some time now has been confined to discussions among only her critics. Tonight its a developing story nationwi nationwide, worldwide. Im Harris Faulkner this is the fox report. The first signs that something had gone wrong came this morning. Hillary clinton attending the 9 11 Memorial Service in Lower Manhattan. Suddenly she left the ceremony. Cameras catching the democratic nominee stumbling as she maid her way to the motorcade and
tonight confirmation from her doctor Hillary Clinton has pneumonia and she was diagnosed with it on friday without a word of it until now to the media. Mrs. Clinton is recuperating we understand. So we learned through a statement this is what has gone on since friday. Why did it take so long . Harris, i believe ive lost ifb, but her doctor essentially said she diagnosed her on friday. Thats when Hillary Clinton held that National Security meeting in manhattan. We were there at that time. We were never told by her press aides she had pneumonia. Her doctor said she examined her today when she returned to chappaqua. Secretary clinton has been experiencing a cough related to allergies. On friday, during a followup evaluation she was put on
antibiotics and advised to modify her schedule. She met with the families of 9 11 victims for 90 minutes today and started to feel overheated, we were told. On the way to her vehicle, her knees appeared to buckle as she appeared to faint as she stepped toward the car. Her knee was trembling at one point. Todays Health Incident followed a coughing fit a week earlier during a labor day picnic in ohio. At that time she said she was allergic to donald trump. She 208d reporters it was due to allergies. The next day her voice was fine. She said she had taken an antihistamine. We know when she emerged from Chelsea Clintons apartment reporters had not been told for 90 minutes where she was. The pool was told to hold and they were they stayed at the 9 11 memorial. She left wave and smiling from chelseas apartment more than an
hour. Campaign aides did not return calls. This statement was issued today. During the ceremony she felt overheated so departed to go to her daughters apartment and is feeling much better. Now were told her aides are looking at her schedule this week. She was supposed to travel to california tomorrow, but that trip is now in question. Back to you. We will come back to you no doubt this hour as it warrants it. The breaking news on the situation. Thank you. I will turn now to the story of the day. 15 years to the day of the attack on 9 11. O say, can you see by the dawns early light this morning bells rang out as hundreds gathered in Lower Manhattan for six moments of silence marking the crash of
four hijacked planes and the moment each tower collapsed. Family and friends reading the names of the victims, 2753 men, women and children who died in ground zero. In washington, d. C. , president obama participated in a wreath laying ceremony to remember those killed when flight 77 slammed in to the pentagon. The president s remarks and the ceremony to remember, the heros of flight 93 in shanksville, pennsylvania, ahead in our coverage. First a live look right now. The sun has not yet set on the east coast. One world. There you see it. A system bomber day here. A day of hope. So many uplifting words among those remembering the pain. Good evening, harris. A lot has changed in the last 15 years here at the World Trade Center site. There is evidence at the
changing skyline. You can tell one World Trade Center beheend hind me, the 9 11 museum and the memorial. What has not changed is the family members come every year and recite the names, reminding us their pain has not faded despite the changing landscape of the city. Today is as done every year for the past 15 years they recited the names of loved ones. They said them all. The speakers younger and younger. Daughters talking about fathers they never met. A reminder while the nation honors this day every year there are people who live 9 11 every day. My big brother Joseph Michael giaconi was only 43 years old, 15 years of life. The hurt is still there. The hole is still there. The exact time the first plane hit the north tower, followed by six moments of silence, ringing of bells, marking the horrific moments of that morning. All day loved ones and dignitaries have stood by the water falls, laying down flowers and photos as tears dropped and hit the named that are etched in bronze. In many ways the 9 11 memorial came to life today. Families, nephews and children crying, laughing, remembering their loved ones on a day in which they reminded us we should never ever forget. Harris . Brian, thank you very much. We will continue our coverage on this 15th year marking 9 11 in just a moment. We want to go back to our breaking news, and Hillary Clinton diagnosed with pneumonia. Joining me is doug schoen. We bring you in ahead of the insiders tonight because i want to tap in to your experience in a couple of ways. Earlier today we saw the video. We can pop it up so we can reference it on point here that someone captured on their smartphone from a distance. It looked like Hillary Clinton waiting for the motorcade to arrive. This is not that video but we can show it when they choose to put it on the screen. As that was happening, you see her limp, people catching her. In those here it is. Describe what is happening behind the scenes and the people around Hillary Clinton. The question that gets asked is how ill is the former secretary, former first lady, and does she need hospitalization . The last thing they want to do is bring Hillary Clinton to a hospital. They brought her to chelseas apartment, her daughter and she is now, according to her doctor rehydrated but that decision has
huge, huge political ramifications because the big issue now is what will be the fallout of the diagnosis of pneumonia and dehydration, sending her to her daughters house is a step and a big step in tamping down the story. You are talking about the strategy that would be going on behind the scenes that would have politics in the mix of it, which might be shocking to some of us to think the Health Issues also mixed in. We wouldnt know, the reporters werent told much. The pool reporters had said they never seen anything like it. They are there in case Something Like this happens and they were told to stay behind the media line. You are making the second point. When Something Like this happens, the first rule of thumb, even before the decision of hospital, no hospital is to keep the press away because the less seen, the less heard the better it is for secretary clintons political fortunes. Wow. I cant diagnose anything but i can tell you, harris, the
premise of your question is right. The Political Considerations are at least as important in the first instance as the health considerations. Though the health ones ultimately drive everything. Im a little shocked by the answer only because, you know, first we were told the former first lady and former secretary of state and now democratic president ial nominee had some sort of a medical issue with being overheated. We knew it was 70 or so degrees outside today. Relatively a lot cooler than we have seen in many weeks but were not there to diagnose her medical condition. Not at all. We are looking if from the outside and very much from the outside. There were many minutes that passed before we were told what the situation was like, where she was going. As you look ahead in all of this now we know there is a diagnosis as far back on friday. Now it is sunday. It didnt make it to the media
either. It is a personal thing and maybe none of our business as people covering 2. Im sympathetic for secretary clinton. Worked for her, as i said. I think it is a larger issue. The doctor says she needs to recalibrate her schedule. There will be questions of what she can and cannot do and her inability to perform through the campaign. Were less than two months out. You advised her and her husband. What would you tell her at this point . I would say first and foremost is her health, second the debates and third is to be on the campaign trail. The debates. Yes. A couple of weeks away. An hour and a half, harris, a long time to be up alone on a stage with hot lights and donald trump. Pneumonia, we get that word today. Moving forward we know from her advisers and aides now, it is coming forth they are looking at
redoing her schedule. You just said that. Looking beyond that, getting ready for the debates. All of her Health Questions before were they in balance and does this change the narrative for both candidates . I think they have been addressed to the satisfaction of most in the media. The same questions are front and center for secretary clinton and donald trump whotz apparently going on dr. Ozs program to talk about his own Health Regime this week. I think we will ask for more medical records from secretary clinton and donald trump. Both have to account for their health, their well being and their prospects. So quickly, before i let you go, you are a personal friend and i know you want to express that. How concerned are you about what has gone on the past couple of days and that nobody knew about this . Im very concerned. I have worked with secretary clinton and her husband. These are two dedicated public
servants who disagree or agre with them have the best interest of the country at heart. My own inclination and what i would say to her is put your well being first. Politics will take care of itself. We will have more on the breaking news of Hillary Clintons diagnosis ahead when doug comes back with the fox news political insiders. They will join me at home base in a bit.

We want to check in with our correspondent Jennifer Griffin who is live outside of the Clinton Family home in new york. When you joined us at the top of the hour we were talking about the pneumonia diagnosis of Hillary Clinton after so many days of coughing fits. People expressed concerns about her health. Critics were backed in to a corner of were not going to talk about that. Stop talking about than from people from her campaign. Now you have a situation, jennifer, where it is very much on the record and shes ill. I think one of the questions
raised to get a diagnosis of pneumonia you usually get a chest xray. When did she have an xray . Did she go to a hospital . We were never told she went to a hospital. Did she go to her doctors office. Her doctor is here in mount cisco and she said she examined Hillary Clinton on friday. We werent told that at the time. We were waiting for her at the National Security forum she held in houston manhattan. Later that night she went to the Barbara Streisand fundraiser and kept a hectic schedule. This raises the question of when, if ever, did she get a chest xray to get a formal diagnosis of pneumonia. For people who may not know what it is, they choose a group of reporters or one network to capture everything and
dissimilar nate the information and we all report it. The pool today was nbc as i understand it. It said not allowed to leave pinned in media area. Aides wont confirm if she has left or stayed. We are supposed to be here for this reason in case something happens to the candidate. This is also part of the story. Well, it really is, harris. I can tell you, being a reporter whos depending on those pool notes it is extremely frustrating. Not only was the pool not getting information an they took the unusual step of keeping that pool away from the candidate as she went to her daughter chelseas manhattan apartment. We did not know where she was for 90 minutes. Typically the protective pool stays with the candidate. So they would be told this type of thing. They were held at the 9 11 memorial site. And reporters, like myself, who were making calls to the kman
aides, Campaign Spokesman we were kept in the dark for 90 minutes. We received a statement from nick merrill, a few minutes before Hillary Clinton exited her daughters apartment. At that time she started to look she was waving, smiling, a different Hillary Clinton than 90 minutes prior. Look, all of this comes up with one question and we had her former strategic adviser doug schoen on moments ago. He was with her during her Senate Campaign in new york. Why behave this way . Is this a precursor or some sign of what it would be like if she were to become president . These are fair questions because of how it was handled. I think it is very clear the campaign has known in the past week, from a week ago when we were traveling with her in ohio and she had the coughing fit
that was so inexplicable. We were told it was allergies and she is known to suffer from allergies but i think it is more than that at the time. It was starting to become more serious. The campaign, the bottom line is they dont want to face the criticism from donald trump, which they have been hearing from her opponent that she is ill. That she is not fit. That she cant keep up with him. There was the mantra during august that she was keeping a lighter schedule than he was. I think it was clear they wanted to keep it under wraps. She wanted to push through it. She kept pushing through until her body gave out and her doctor told her she had to rest. I know there will be questions because i dont think it has been made clear what kind of pneumonia she has. It speaks to how quickly she can get over this and whether if she was contagious. We will talk about this. We will take a break andJennifer Griffin is with us as the story breaks. Stay close. Because the ultimate expression of power, is control. This is the pursuit of perfection.
