Thats why it wasnt a huge surprise when the leak started with a powell email calling trump a quote National Disgrace and international pariah. And it wasnt just trump taking fire. Powell also hammered general michael flynn. He is one of mr. Trumps leading Foreign Policy advisors and he is here live tonight to respond. But then we saw some reporting on a scathing email from 2014 about the clintons. General powell writing quote, i would rather not have to vote for her, although she is a friend i respect. A 70 dwrooerdyearold person with a track record greedy not transformational with a husband still blanking bimbos at home according to the new york post. I love how he sources, even in the private emails, he sources on the blanking of the bimbos. In moments we will be joined by chris direwalt along with dana perino and former friend of powells awkward. Trace . Megan, two years of emailers with stolen from Colin Powells email and given to d. C. Leagues which has published hacked email and reportedly ties to russian services. Colin powell poush pushes back to what he calls her attempt to blame him for her email scandal. I told her staff three times not to try that gambit. I today throw a mini pan trum at the Hamptons Party to get their attention. She keeps tripping into these mine fields. He said he made it clear to mrs. Clinton he never set up a private server and always used a government computer for classified documents. They are going to blank up the legitimate and necessary use of emails with friggin record rules. Everything hrc touches she kind of screws up with hubris. In an email conversation with mega donor jeffrey leeds, powell rights on hdtv she doesnt look good. She is working herself to death. Mr. Leeds responds by saying that rhode island democratic senator Sheldon White house told him that and clinton gave quote speeches at the same event a few months back and she could barely climb the podium steps. Jeffrey leeds also sent a number of emails to colin powell detailing hillary and bill clintons dislike of president obama. Powell also goes after donald trump telling a journalist earlier this summer that trump quote is in the process of destroying himself. In need for demes to eye tack him. Later, powell complains to another reporter about giving trump free media. Quote, you kbie guys are playing his game. You are his oxygen and saying quote to go on and call him an idiot just emboldens him. Powell also called trum app racist for his berther comments against president obama. The Clinton Campaign has chosen not to comment. All these emails are clearly more critical of the clintons that than of donald trump but as cnbc point out, the primary headline of the day was colin powell calls donald trump a National Disgrace. Megan . Trace, thank you. Joining us now, chris direwalt and dana perino. Wow. A lot to unpack there. Half of the electorate said im voting for colin powell. What is your biggest take away . Tz its not surprising that colin powell would feel the way he does about donald trump. But it is surprising that the amount of venom, amount of resentment he has for the clintons. Frankly, colin powell is speaking for a big swath of the electorate. He we see this in pole after pole. 35 , 40 say, i dont like this election. Can i have a doover please. And people say on the one side i have a person with a track record i find aporant and on the other side i find a person aporant personally. Powell speaks to that frustration. Is that why this became so big . Pollen powell has a long history of serving our country. The man is 79 years old. But Brutal Honesty in the emails and the fact he taps into the narrative you hear so often perhaps in less colorful terms about these two candidates from people who are dissatisfied with the choices this election. I am amazed. Colin powell a great statesman pb dragged into this and when his private emails were hacked and leading the kelly file, thats a big deal. And i think that both the Trump Campaign and Clinton Campaign are very smart, i wouldnt comment either. I would absolutely try to let it go. I might even send him a note saying were sorry that that happened to you. And leave it at that. It helps powell though. How does it help powell . Powell doesnt need help. It helps powell in this way. Hillary clinton did him dirty. She said dehe did it and told when to. This is calling her on it and flip the coffee table over in her lap and wine goes on the oh i was standing up and i knocked it over and sorry. It is obviously bad for hillary. Because you can see that even though he may be prepared to vote for her, he doesnt think much of her. How she could barely climb the podium steps. Thats not his words, incoming to him. Character mine field. Hubris. On trump, his berther movement was racist. National disgrace. International pariah. Colin powell is a republican. He says the Republican Party left him a long time ago. But he is more republican than democrat. Why is that not harmful to trump . It is. The birther thing continues to be harmful for trump. Never forget that trumps position as republican nominee is owed in part and probably some large part, to the notoriety he gained by claiming that the president or saying he believed that the president probably was not born in the united states. That is something that helped donald trump get on the front page and stay there and it will continue to hurt him with a considerable portion. I know you feel a little uncomfortable about discussing the content of these emails. It is like dining on the carcass of the mans dead privacy rights. Oooh thank you. Do you remember party lines . Yes. We didnt have them. In wyoming where i was growing up there were party line phones. Is that how you two met . My grandmother, the phone would ring once for her, twice for my aunt, three times for my other aunt. And if you picked up to listen thats the worst thing to do but you still wanted to do it. Thats how i feel in talking about these emails. You dont pick up the party line phone. We will get burned one day when they put out fake emails. When a group puts out fake emails and gets out there and we were very hesitant to do the story until we saw him con frirm. And say okay i guess he has to own it. And boy does he have a way with words. He goes on and on. He should just pick up the phone every once in a while. Expletive. So as we reported moments ago, general powell did not just reserve criticism for donald trump and Hillary Clinton. He also went after a frequent guest here on the kelly file and donald trump adviser, Lieutenant General michael flynn. Powell writing quote, flynn got fired as head of dia. I asked why. Abusive with staff. Didnt listen. Against policy wp bad management et cetera. He has been and was right wing nutty ever since. Joining us now to respond Lieutenant General michael flynn. Former director of the intelligence agency, intelligence arm of the u. S. Military and author the field of fight how we can win the war against radical islam and its allies. Hi. Your thoughts . Ring wing nutty and i think he called maee a jerk. Ive been called worse by my little sister. This is another secretary of state and another individual who had their email hacked. What are we learning from this megan . And more to come. And the fact that the business with not knowing whether or not nation states have the 33,000 or what colin powell has said i mean when are people going to learn that there are threats out there that are going to continue to hack their email. You know ive said i would love to have my emails hacked and i know theyve tried it. Because im not saying im not disparaging people in my emails. Very honest very blunt about what i say publicly is what i say in my private email communications. I dont screw around like that because i was taught as a young kid by my father to treat others like you like to be treated. Thats the golden rule. Colin powell amazing guy, amazing service. But as a footnote in history he will struggle for credibility because of the statement he made to the United Nations that brought us into the war in iraq. I tell what you, when i think about some of the dumb decision made over the years by people who have lived in the bubble of washington, d. C. We just cant have that any more. And frankly, i what he said about Hillary Clinton, what he said about trump, whatever. At this stage, we have such bigger issues to deal with in this country going forward. Absolutely. It is extraordinary to here. Frank discussion. Do you think this is russia . Do you think russia is behind the dnc hack and this hack . And if so why . Who would know . The white house would know if thats the case. And those in the Intelligence Community would know if thats the case. I really dont know. Why go after colin powell . You know hey, everybody thats a highly visible person when somebody finds that kind of you know sort of titillating, whatever you want to call it information, it is they are going to make it publicly available. People have got to come to grips with their email answers those that are high visibility people. He is a high visibility person. He obviously said some really mean things. Enof the day he said some mean things. He thought they were private. Megan, nothing is private when you are a target of app Anonymous Group or nation state. It could be a bunch of countries. I said many times in 2016 america, no longer enough to pretend. You actually have to be a good person. They will find out if youre not. Foefr. Forget it. I feel sorry for them. I dont agree with what dana and chris said. I feel sorry. Dana fields bad for him. Fidly dee. Okay. Got to go general. By the way, chris and dana will be together again this sunday. Look at that. Arent they aderoreabledorable . Yes, thats nice. 5 00 p. M. On their new show, its called ill tell you what. Thats not how you say it. How do you say it . You say it. Ill tell what you. Ill watch it.

A dramatic series of new polls out today show donald trump surging in front of Hillary Clinton in several key Battle Ground states. A bloomberg poll put the republican candidate ahead by five points in ohio. With a lead of 48 to 43 . Then Monmouth University released new numbers showing trump overtaking clinton in nevada with a lead of 44 to 42 . Then late today we got new numberis from orc polling, also showing trump ahead by 5 in ohio. Ahead by 3 in florida. Two mustwin states for the republican candidate. Joining me now to break down numbers is todd bevin. Publisher of realclearpolitics. Com. So what does it tell you . The race is tightening. It is usually an indicator of what is going on in the Battle Ground states. And it is confirmed this race tightened and in some states trump move aid head. Albeit by small margins. But clearly in the sort of post labor day period trumps been surging ahead. Why . Well in part because he is son kol consolidated his base. In part because he is establishing, expanding his lead among independents in those states. Stu look at data he recovered some ground along the College Educated white vote in some states. You combine all three factors and thats why his numbers are up. To what did we attribute that in rebounding with white collegeeducated voters . You know what megyn, this is one of the things about this election. It is not so much what trump has done, it is what Hillary Clinton has done. Bad four or five days in particular. I think although these polls take that into effect stuff that happened on friday and again sunday with the health thing, it is not fully integrated into the numbers yet. I think its been a bad stretch for Hillary Clinton. I think that has ended up benefiting donald trump. You know that conventional wisdom is its hers to lose because the electoral map favors any democrat and her ground game is more established than his and she has been ahead by considerable margins, in key states especially key states like North Carolina and she is keeping it tight. Is what we have seen the past week or is a gamechanger here . Look i wouldnt necessarily call it gamechanger but i think trump recovered ground and expanded the map and now i think you know has more of a chance than people would have speculated that he had a couple weeks ago. Last time i made you say a number. I made you. And under duress you said 25 chance trump has of winning. Now what number . I will make you again. What number would you give me . You will force me fine. Im ready this time megyn. Upwards of 35 or even 40 . Look we have five states now that are within a single point. Trump leads by less than a point in florida, ohio and iowa. Trailing by less than a point in North Carolina and nevada. If he wins all of this states and wins New Hampshire for example, within four Electoral College votes of having 269, 269 tie. He is definitely in the ball game here. To the extent we continue to see the numbers in other states, look, there is race, definitely. Mmhm. Houston. Joining me now with more tucker carlson, editor and chief of the daily caller and cohost of fox and friends weekend. Thats what her campaign saying, tucker houston, weve got a problem. She was way ahead, double digits ahead nationally and several states. It is gone. Latest quinnipiac poll today out shows he has cut her lead in half. She still leads him 4843 . But it was 10 before and it is not going in the right direction for her. This is news to her campaign. They are genuinely shocked. 65 of americans thinks they are on the right track. How can he have a 58 will Approval Rating . That is what people think about obama the man. His policy obama care, immigration policy is not popular. Trump is running on those things. Running a campaign about something. You may disagree with it. He is inexperienced. A flawed guy. But he has a theme. She is not. She is run is based on the idea she is not trump. Thats not enough. How much is it to get trump back on the straight and narrow. Hasnt insulted anybody lately. Hasnt gone too far off script . He is clearing that low bar, basically. I do think that mat tersters to a certain extent. I think one of the thing you see as you dig into the number says that Hillary Clinton is doing very poorly among Younger Voters a key aspect of Barack Obamas coalition. They were the same voters that were excited to vote for bernie sanders. They are a lot less excited to vote for Hillary Clinton. I think as donald trump is more acceptable and less and less like some worldending disaster could he become president , then i think those voters have less of a raen reason to go out and force themselves about whom theyve been skeptical and when they look at her, they see someone who represent the policies of the past. Doesnt look like Gary Johnsons flub about aleppo didnt hurt him. What factor is he playing here . If this comes down to a tight contest in critical states like ohio does gary johnson staying in this race help trump or help clinton . I dont think that it hurts him for a simple reason. If youre a libertarian candidate, the whole point is you dont care about aleppo. Youre a libertarian.
