Are historically unpopular. Their integrity and honesty doubted by many. What can they do to win the confidence of voters . Hello and welcome to Hofstra University. I will be with you here for the next hour, largely dedicated to the big news with the debate right here tomorrow. Its expected to be the most watched debate in american political history. You can see people are pumped. Lets start with the new reaction pouring in this sunday as the campaigns are looking ahead. Here is what they are saying. I dont appreciate campaigns thinking its the job of the media to go and be these virtual Fact Checkers and these debate moderators should do their bidding. We all have the experience a few years ago of mitt romney being interrupted and being challenged on an assertion he made. I believe it was about the tragedy in benghazi. It turned out the moderator was wrong. The important thing is that the American People hear from these two candidates. We need to hear from these two candidates. I hope and trust that the moderators will facilitate that. That issue about specifics, answering those Unanswered Questions and checking people is important. Its fair game. Its fair game for both candidates to be challenged on things that they have said or things they say tomorrow night. All were asking is if donald trump lies its pointed out. Its unfair to ask for hillary to play traffic cop with trump, make sure that his lies are corrected and also to present her vision. As the candidates get ready to face off tomorrow night, theres a new poll likely voters. It shows clinton at 46 and trump at 44, gary johnson netting 5 and jill stein at 1. We have live reports from casey hunt and kelly odonnell. Casey, starting with you, what is clinton doing here in the final hours . Reporter prepare, prepare, preparing. She was up until after midnight last night. Im going to take that out. She has been doing mock debates, unlike donald trump. She has been standing on a stage practicing. Shes on sit a clinton aide who frankly has the personality that you might expect to stand in for trump. He has working with hillary long enough that he is not afraid of her. Of course, were expecting trump to at least potentially make some very personal remarks about Hillary Clinton. Its something he has done in the past. His advisers are telling him to steer clear this time. But you never know. Thats a subject matter that they are were told he is kfrltab comfortable talking about with her face to face. The challenge for Hillary Clinton her aides think is not policy or handle questions along those lines from moderator lester holt. They feel confident in her ability to talk about, say, childcare policy or isis, the middle east, foreign policy. The challenge for her is going to be those things to do with personality. We have seen her get a little bit defensive when she was asked about her emails and that commander in chief forum. They are concerned about that. They have been working on making sure she doesnt let donald trump get under her skin in any way. They also were counting on being able to provoke trump to be that guy we saw so much of in the primary, the one that they believe voters will view as unpresident ial. Somebody who is will doing get down in the gutter, willing to throw insults, say things the clinton team doesnt view are appropriate. She has been practicing, trying to figure out how to get him to go there. Trumps aides have been trying to figure out how to keep him on message. To a certain extent, they are worried about him being overprepare order trump is worried about being over prepared. Both have been studying debate tapes of the other. It sounds like from what we know on the commission on president ial debates, Hillary Clinton will get the first question when they get on stage tomorrow night. Kasie hunt, thank you. More from you im sure. We want to give people an update. New details about the faceoff between clinton and trump. They announced all of the rules, 90 minutes is the time. No commercials. Each cant each candidate is supposed to use two minutes to respond to each question. Ten minutes for open comment afterwards. The first question of the night has been confirmed, it will go to Hillary Clinton. The crowd, which can have a big impact, about 1,000 audience members. They will be basically a mix of guests provided from each campaign. Thats supposed to be fair. Plus the students here at hofstra, of course, which is hosting the event. This is the third election in a row that hofstra has been granted that honor of hosting a again election debate. This one the most watched ever as we continue to remind you. I go to kelly odonnell. Kelly, on the trump side of the lengthe ledger, what are they saying . What us through what we have heard from them and the candidate in suggesting they might have a special guest at this debate and then today were hearing maybe not. Reporter exactly. The person you are referring is Gennifer Flowers who was romantically tied to bill clinton. That nearly blew up the 92. Thats a piece of history for clintons that is not something they want to see be part of the 2016 race. There was a bit of predebate trash talking. On twitter, donald trump suggested he was inviting gennife gennif genni Gennifer Flowers. We have heard she has not been extended an invitation to join the Trump Campaign among the seats that they get. As you pointed out, roughly 1,000 seats. A third for the Clinton Campaign. A third for the Trump Campaign. And the remaining third for the university. Hofstra stepped in kind of at the last minute. You may remember there was another university that was slated to do this. The cost of the security was so heavy, several million dollars, that they had to back out. Hofstra having done it before offered to host again. I was just inside the debate hall where there is some finishing touches going on. They had the vac umeuum out to the stage ready. There was some kind of cleaning fluid that was going over the lecterns. Theres lighting adjustment happening, all of those preps. I can tell you the cheap seats among those 1,000 in the back will have a hard time even seeing the lectern. Just being in the room is certainly a an exciting ticket to have. For trump, as you have pointed out, today was also a day where he had a meeting with netanyahu, who is in the United States as a part of the extended u. N. Gathering. Both clinton and trump having those private meetings with the israeli leader. Thats been part of what the Trump Campaign has been trying to do, sort of a business as usual approach before the debate. Down playing any kind of homework or prepping, because they know Hillary Clinton has made it such a big part of her sort of predebate messaging that shes doing the hard work to get ready. Theyre trying to take the approach that he doesnt have to study as hard because his natural talents are the thing that have got him to this point and the thing that he will use on monday night. Ari . Thank you, kelly. Its fascinating if he isnt doing the mock debates. More to discuss about tomorrow nights debate. We will spend a lot of the hour digging in and in a few minutes, i will tell you, we will have special guests. Former democratic president ial candidate Martin Omalley who has himself debated Hillary Clinton. Tonight, we have very special sunday night coverage. 5 00 p. M. Eastern. Also, in case you havent heard, the debate will be on our air and a lot of air tomorrow night, right here on msnbc. We want to update you on nondebate news. The other big story in charlotte, north carolina, there are new protests today about the shooting of keith scott. Police had said they would not release the videos that they had taken of the encounter. You may have heard they said it would compromise the investigation. They have changed course. They released portions of dash and body cam footage over the weekend but held back other portions that they deemed not relevant to the incident. As always, we want to tell you, some of the images can be disturbing. Thats part of the new video provided by police from the dash cam. Scott emerges from the suv. He can be seen apparently slowly backing away, then four shots are heard. Scott falls to the ground. Police chief saying that this new video doesnt prove one way or the other that scott had a gun in his hand. Police also releasing photos of what they say was a loaded handgun found there adding it bore scotts dna and fingerprints. They say he had marijuana in his possession. T you have been following this story from the start. In addition to what you are going to tell us about the scene there, i wonder, your thoughts about police saying last week releasing video would compromise the investigation, this weekend thats what they did. Were they wrong last week or are they wrong now . Reporter you know, the police chief said that the time was right. So whether it was the right time or the wrong time, that is still to be told. Let me give you a look at whats going on here. Heavy police presence. We have police in riot gear over here. Then if we up spin across the way, we have bike cops. They have formed a change to keep protesters at a distance. Protesters arrived about 90 minutes ago. Theres maybe 200 of them. They are protesting the shooting death of Keith Lamont Scott who was shot and killed tuesday. Keep in mind, protests have been going on here. This is the sixth day. Some have been violent. Some have been peaceful. The last few days have been peaceful. The protesters are wanting their voice heard. Originally, they were demanding the release of the video. It has been released. We spoke with one woman, huge fan, football fan, has season tickets. She said shes not going into the game today in protest to whats going on in her town. Lets listen to what she had to say. We all want justice. We all want the truth. As of right now, were not getting that. I couldnt come out here and put on my blue Carolina Panthers tshirts and things without having not gotten everything that we have requested. Reporter and protesters and activists are asking nfl players across the United States today to take a knee during the national anthem. A few minutes ago it went off here. We had protesters down on their knee protesting in silent protest. Hopefully today will remain peaceful, ari. Tammy, do you have a sense there the protesters or community feel the release of the video is enough . Or that this was incomplete . They have only released parts of the video. Reporter this is the thing. We have been out here for six days with the protesters. Originally, they were asking for the release of the video. Now that the video has been released, they are still out here. That shows me that they are not satisfied with the release of the video. They are now saying they want justice. What that means, im not sure. Thats what they are demanding now, justice. Ari . Got it. Thank you. Appreciate the update. We will be back to looking at debate expectations in a moment. What will donald trump be up against when he debates Hillary Clinton . We will speak with someone who knows a thing or two about it. Former democratic president ial candidate Martin Omalley who tangled with clinton on the national stage. He joins me next.

Thats former president ial debate moderator Carole Simpson giving her expectations for tomorrow. Joining me now is former Maryland GovernorMartin Omalley. Nice to see you. Thank you. Thanks for having me. Lets start with what you thought of her as a debater. In all honesty when you were on stage together. I will tell you, shes very prepared. She has an indepth understanding of all these issues. In the debates that i was on the stage with her, she never made a gaff or never made a mistake. Shes very, very skilled at this. Shes steady. Shes disciplined. Shes well prepared. I think she on when we see her monday night, i think this will be a bit of a reframing of this campaign. I think shes going to well. She must do well. She must do it by talking directly to the American People about what they care about, wages, affordable college, the things that matter around the familys dinner table. You say she didnt make mistakes. Its certainly true is sometimes people say she can afeppear too practiced. Some people said that about you. Im not singling her out. She had her counter punch between the two of you. The truth of the matter is, secretary clinton, you did not go as far reigning in wall street as i would. The people of american deserve to have a president on their side protecting the main street economy from excesses on wall street. Second clinton, a response. First of all first of all, paul, barnie frank have endorsed my plan. We have doddfrank, it gives us the authority already to break up big banks that pose a risk to the financial sector. We never used it. Who do you think had the better of that exchange . The good old days. Like i said, shes very shes very skilled and secretary clinton is very adept. Ive been campaigning all around the country for her. I can tell you that there are a lot of people out there who are looking forward to this debate, ari. Because what we have seen for the last few weeks is it seems like its either Hillary Clinton talking about donald trump or donald trump talking about donald trump or you guys talking about donald trump. So i think people are really hungry to hear these two candidates talk about their plans for our economy and how we get wages to go up. Now that president obama put our country on a better footing of creating jobs. I think you are going to see Hillary Clinton very, very prepared. You will see a practical, sober, steady person who would make a very steady and good president of the United States. What do you think is the most important contrast for her to draw with trump . You mentioned jobs and policy. Theres also simply his demeanor and his ability to be president. You recently said he has limited brain power. Thats one line of attack. Then there have been really a series of investigative reports as you know and our viewers have seen that go beyond his style and dig into the fact that his organizations, his charities, his employees have engaged in a great deal of conduct that is questionable and under investigation and in some cases under civil and criminal inquiry. Which if any of those do you think she should focus on . I think that if i were advising secretary clinton, this is my advice. I would say that she needs to hit him back and hit him hard whenever he comes at her. And then she needs to kind of wipe the spit from her brow and bring the debate back to what matters most to the American People. In every question and in every exchange, yes, she has to be the tough person she is and hit this guy back, especially for his overtlyand his offshoring of jobs in his own companies. She needs to bring it back to the kitchen table, back to affordable college, how do we get wages to go up. The good news is with the news of last week showing median family incomes going up 2,800 for the First Time Since this recession, she has firm ground to stand on in painting that story of whats truly happening in our economy rather than giving in to his story that were all headed to hell in a hand basket. Governor, while i have you, i want to ask about some of the policing controversies. You have experience in this as a mayor and governor in a city, baltimore, that we know has had its share of troubles. When you look at the situation in charlotte as we were discussing just before the last commercial break, you have a police force that one day says we cant release the videos because that compromises the investigation, then another day releases part of the videos, then there are questions over whether thats all the video. Is charlottes police force on the disclosure side doing this the right way . What do you think is the best approach . There are so many questions about the conduct of policing right now. Yeah. I think that Police Departments all over the country are trying to figure out how they can be open and transparent and meet public expectations and public trust in an era when video Cell Phone Technology is everywhere. So some of the old rules that would say, look, you have to keep the evidence you have to keep the evidence close, you dont reveal the evidence until the investigation is done, i think all of those sorts of old rules have to go out the window here. I believe that Police Departments all over the u. S. Need to figure out very, very quickly how to get to full disclosure in the aftermath of policeinvolved shootings and also how to make decisions much more quickly than we have in the past. I think you see charlotte doing its very best to get ahead of to catch up to public expectations. But none of us around the country are really there yet, ari. I understand the argument that you shouldnt release video, that that would somehow taint a jury. I was a prosecutor and defense attorney myself. But i think those issues can be addressed, if
