>> they hide her for days before a debate. people don't want to be reminded how much they don't like her. >> they even want to try and rig the election at the polling booths where so many cities are corrupt. >> i invite mr. trump to stop whining and go try to make his case to get >> barack obama -- south carolina due to illegal voting. go ahead, jake. sorry. >> boris, where are you getting that from? >> they are encountering pretty heavy resistance. >> the army is heading to retake mosul. >> islamic state militants popping up like gophers. >> anti-american protest outside the u.s. embassy in the philippines turned violent overnight. >> president obama hosting his dinner. >> the immore@wortal words of y berra, it ain't over until it's over. >> l.a. county saying the fire is not out. no word of containment. >> dash cam captured a woman's brush with death crossing a street in wilmington. >> >> all that. ? king of the road ? oh, major! >> up-ended! >> what a hit >> up and over you go. >> and all that matters. >> the latest wiki leaky leaky leaky is a list of the vice presidents hillary clinton was considering. >> ceo of starbucks was on the list. he could have made american grande. >> is that what it is to you? >> teenage boys. actually they should behave better, right? >> anderson cooper shut her down so quick. even the angels painted on the ceiling were like, oh! announcer: this portion of "cbs this morning" sponsored by toyota. let's go places! welcome to "cbs this morning." gayle king is off. margaret brennan is with us. the election is 20 days away and the candidates are gearing up for tonight's final debate. donald trump and hillary clinton will meet in university of nevada-las vegas. it is their first meeting since multiple women accused trump of sexual assault and since wikileaks revealed more alleged clinton campaign e-mails. >> the newest nationwide poll out this morning shows clinton leading trump by nine points in a four-way race 38 h% to 47%. major, good morning. >> reporter: on his way here, the safety most conservative parts of colorado politically speaking. trump dare not tread in the swing states where colorado's nine electorate votes will be determined. instead trump soaked himself in the easy adore radiation of colorado springs and the grand canyon. now polls are poison in their place chanting to the converted. >> let's say we are tied. then how come we have thousands and thousands of people, thousands and thousands. >> reporter: thousands do show up in gop strongholds. but trump need to broaden his base. his repeated and unfounded charges of current vote manipulation could hurt trump in two ways. depressed turnout among his voters turned off by yet another conspiracy theory. >> they even want to rig the election at polling booths where so many cities are corrupt and voting is all too common. i think the media is trying to discourage our people from getting out and vote. a crooked group of people. >> reporter: for those in colorado allegations. fraud ring true. >> you hope. you hope the outcome is legitimate. >> i doubt it would be legite >> people voting twice. dead people voting. yes. >> reporter: with advisers desperate to cast trump as an agent of change, he dusted off a long forgotten idea that he hasn't mentioned in months. term limits for congress. >> i'm proposing a term limit of six years for members of the house and 12 years for members of the senate. >> reporter: term limits, of course are meant to address congressional stag nation with you a considerable amount of of the house seats have changed hands. that number in the senate over 12 years about 70%. one other quick note. trump is invited here tonight, malik obama, president obama's half-brother who has endorsed the republican nominee. >> major, thank you. president obama accuses donald trump of whining about alleged voter fraud. at a white house news conference with italy's prime minister, the president said he is tired of hearing . whining and try to make his case to get votes. i have never seen in my lifetime or in modern political history any presidential candidate trying to discredit the elections and the election process before votes have even taken place. >> hillary clinton has stayed out of sight, preparing for the continues to release e-mails apparently stolen from her campaign chairman. nancy cordes is inside the debate spin room in las vegas. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. you know, the last debate was only ten days ago? but a lot has changed since then. in the meantime, more than half a dozen women have accused trump of making unwanted sexual advances. and hillary clinton has largely held her fire about that. her aides say that is likely to change tonight. clinton arrived in yesterday afternoon, and immersed herself in more debate prep, despite her opponent's talk. >> she is home sleeping and i'm working. a way it's going to be in the white house too. she would be sleeping. i'd be working. >> reporter: clinton aides say she is working on how to rebut trump's argument that the election is somehow rigged against him. >> he wants to blame somebody else and that is what losers do. >> reporter: communication director jen palmieri said voters from new allegations of sexual assault and expects that hacked campaign e-mails will come up tonight. in one posted by wikileaks, campaign chair john podesta admitted last september that the campaign had taken on a lot of water over the e-mail scandal and that a lot has to do with clinton's instincts. in another e-mail released tuesday, he described bernie sanders as a doofus for criticizing an international environmental agreement. the latest strange twist? e confirmed last night it had temporarily blocked internet access for julian assange the founder of wiki leaks who has been living in ecuador embassies since 2012. this temporary restrictions does not prevent the wikileaks from carrying out its journalistic those activities including releasing 50,000 of podesta's e-mails between now and election day. ironically, clinton aides hope the e-mails come up tonight because they think it will give clinton a chance to argue that the russians are trying to meddle in this election and that trump, she says, is egging them on. mark leibovich is chief national correspondent for "the new york times" magazine and cbs news political contributor. good morning. >> hi, charlie. >> we assume the come up and accusation will come up. >> i think the wikileaks is a gift for donald trump but i don't know that he has used it correctly. he has daily proof the person i'm running against is a politician. a lot of the are laid out in documents. i am not a politician. i sometimes do and say things that are no politically correct and have to pivot to the him. in hillary clinton's case, i don't know how she will try to explain away all of this but she can at least say this is how campaigns run. take any organization in america and take their e-mails and look at them and you'll find stuff out of context looks maybe unsce unseemingly. you can raise the russian issue also. >> what is the most powerful argument that hillary clinton needs to make tonight? >> i think she is probably going to stay affirmative and i'm sure she will have a statement or something to say about the sexual harassment accusations. i think more likely she is more safe and probably try to stay on her own level and not go anywhere close to -- >> we have just three weeks left. polls out in 15 battleground states that matter where hillary clinton is ahead outside the margin of error which would give her about 304 electorate votes. is this election almost over? >> i think people are saying that. i think it's premature. 20 days left. i'm not just saying that as a cliche. the debate tonight is the last chance donald trump will have to make a case people should vote for him. he sort of failed in the first two debates to say this is why you should vote for me. i think people even now are looking for a reason and i think he can still deliver it. >> yet, he seems to be saying your vote doesn't matter because the election is rigged. can you explain that strategy? >> i can't. but what i can -- i just don't know why you can say this election is rigged and not depress your own turnout. >> >> depresses everybody. >> but his own term. your vote doesn't count, why go out and vote is just disjointed. >> he has seemed to get in the way of his own messages but the accusations against him is the subject of his fitness? >> i think both. but look. he has a potentially very powerful message. the change message is powerful. >> why hasn't he made it? >> because he hasn't been disciplined. i think he has gotten in his own way a lot. i think if he were to say, three this is a politician who has been there 30 years and three, it's a different kind of candidate, it would be very effective. >> chris wallace, i think there is going to be tonight the most substantive debate in terms of issues and policies. >> chris wallace i think could work very well for both sides. >> mark, thank you. gayle and i will in las vegas for tonight's final presidential debate. our coverage begins at 9:00 eastern/8:00 central on cbs. a russian hacker suspected of targeting the is being held this morning in the czech republic. the fbi helped czech police take the man into custody two weeks ago but the arrest was only revealed a few hours ago. the suspect was nabbed during a surprise raid at a hotel in prague. jeff pegues has details of the investigation and what it could mean for u.s./russian relations. jeff, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. the russian hacker now faces extradition to the united states czech police and the fibula. the take-down was a videotape. the man appeared to be caught off-guard as police moved in to make the arrest. police say he fainted and was taken to a hospital for treatment. authorities say he is connected to cyber attacks on the united states but investigators have not offered any more specifics than that. just two days after his arrest on october 5th, the obama administration blamed russia for the cyberattack on the democratic national convention that compromised e-mails and at the time of his arrest, u.s. law enforcement enforce were telling cbs news the russians are trying to influence the u.s. election by scanning and probing voter databases in several states. unclear if the man taken into custody is corrected to the cyber attacks but the u.s. is vowed to respond to the attacks and an official told cbs news the response would be proportional. >> jeff, thanks. closer this morning to the isis-held city of mosul. satellite images show smoke rising from tires set on fire by isis and meant to throw or air strikes. newly liberated territory outside of iraq's second largest stip the american-backed operations freed up villages outside of mosul already. holly williams takes us inside the village of bartella. >> this is the new front line with isis. and just beyond the berm these kurdish fighters are building new defensive positions. beyond that is no man's land, and then isis. they have recaptured around 20 villages here from the "star trek"ist ov-- extremists over t last two days. this is the main road into mosul and about three miles in that direction in isis territory system is the town of bartella which was seized by isis when the group went across northern and we visited it just weeks before it was captured by isis and spoke to the christian militia men who were trying to defend it. it is or was an ancient christian community because the residents all fled their homes. but when we were there, we saw them worshipping in a language spoken by jesus. isis released a propaganda video yesterday claiming that it showed life going a mosul. this morning, they put out more video showing the extremists fighting off this offensive. but isis also released images of another barbaric execution of a man that they claim was a spy, most of that video is simply too disturbing for us to show you. and as we know, that kind of brutality is also part of normal life under isis and its so-called islamic state. east of mosul. holly, thank you so much. this angry demonstration we have seen outside the american embassy in the philippines turned bloody when a police van slammed into protesters. dramatic video shows the van driven wildly throughout the crowd. a thousand anti-american protesters threw red paint to the president duterte. >> amazing an u.s. militar you have that kind of anti-american sentiment. >> he has expressed feelings about the president. >> right. and anti-colonial sentiment getting closer to china. it may be october, but record breaking heat will make much of the country feel like summer. unseasonably high temperatures are forecast from the southern plains to the northeast. nashville and

and mrs. obama made a grant entrance at the event in honor of the prime minister of italy. julianna goldman is at the white house where the gala was not an entirely social education. >> the president said he saved the best for the even politic on the side. >> we are reminded that american democracy is graced by the touch of italy. >> reporter: a not so subtle nod to the political climate, president obama noted italy's mark on america. >> we look up at the dome of the u.s. capitol and marvel at the touch of and some days our campaigns can seem line infernos. >> reporter: the election was not off limits for the italian >> reporter: during his toast, renzi said the recent take-down of donald trump was not lost in translation. >> i know michelle, your -- are great but after the last week, let me be very frank. your speech are better than your tomatoes. thank you very much as prime minister and thank you so much as a father of a younger daughter. >> reporter: the obamas have hosted 13 dinners in eight years, including two with china. president george w. bush held were both eclipsed by president bill clinton who hosted 28. and last night, president obama reflected on his own legacy and shared memories from his last visit to rome. >> i had the opportunity to visit the coliseum and as i walked across those ancient stones worn by the history of 2,000 years, it was a humbling reminder of our place here on earth and the grand sweep of time each of us is here only for a brief moment. beyond, the things that will endure long after we are gone. >> reporter: let's talk about the dress the first lady chose to wear an italian designer and she glittered in a floor-length gown in rose gold by versace. >> wow. a beautiful dress, indeed. julianna, thank you. how about the italian prime minister with the lines there? he was very funny. two adventure seeker die in caves in florida. first, it's time to >> samantha: good wednesday morning to you. thanks for waking up with

"the new york times" says a former fbi official at the center of hillary clinton's private e-mail is speaking out. newly released fbi documents revealed apparent quid pro quo which clinton was secretary of state. they say a state department official had asked the fbi to lower the classification of a sensitive e-mail on clinton's server. in exchange, the fbi would get extra personnel in iraq. now former fbi official brian mccauley says he, not the state department, suggested the quid pro quo, but mccauley said he backed down when he learned clinton's e-mail was related to the "los angeles times" reports on a judge who ruled on some of mexico's highest profile criminal cases killed in broad daylight. video captured the judge jogging on monday before he was shot in the head by a man following him. oh, my goodness! >> oh, my god! >> the footage caused up roar in mexico. last year his judicial district issued an order to install the extradition come to the united states. carriers would have to refund checked bag fees if luggage is substantially delayed. i like that. well, online ticketing services would not be allowed to favor a particular airline and reports would be required on mistakes such as the mishandling of wheelchair passengers. an industry group says the rules would raise fares. the detroit news reports on temporary closings at some ford plants. two assembly lines in the united states and two in mexico would be idle. and fusions and two lincoln models and fiesta subcompact. they want to match production with demand after a recent slowdowns in sales. the closings will last a week or two. the "chicago tribune" says nearly one-fifth of the water fountains in city parks are shut off for safety reasons. 459 fountains are affected. test found high levels of brain damaging lead. the flint water crisis prompted the testing. the deaths of two prompting new calls to close a well-known cave diving site. the underwater cave system known as eagles nest is known as the mt. everest of sports and draws divers from around the world and in a remote wilderness area. manuel bojorquez spoke to one of them. here goes down hundreds of feet. it is considered a very advanced dive, meaning only those with the proper certification and training should attempt it. even then, it is still dangerous. the two men who died here were both skilled divers. from the surface, eagles nest appears serene. but looks can be deceiving. divers have lost t underwater. the grim sign at the mouth of the cave warns divers to turn back. >> i guarantee you, there was nothing left for them to do at the end. >> reporter: ron ritenmeyer said his son chris had the proper training and was always careful. >> my ton typically dove what he thought was his limit. i believe that in his heart, he did this dive fully expecting he would be back. >> reporter: chris rittenmeyer bodies were recovered sunday, 260 feet down. >> he would never leave him. the other guy would never leave chris. . i'm proud of him for that and also sad by that. >> reporter: do you think if anybody one was in trouble the other would never leave the other behind? >> never, never. that is not the way they are trained and never the system. >> reporter: the eagles nest cave is composed of three different tunnels and parts of 300 below the surface. the two were experienced divers. they had both been in the depths of eagles nest recently as friday, part of a weekend long plan to explore the cave. >> it wasn't like they were a couple of yahoos who went in there, you know, with no training or anything else. done properly, it's a very safe endeavor but so is sky diving. >> reporter: from 2010 to 2013, 12 cave diving deaths in the u.s. and two in the eagles nest divers lobbied to open it in 2003. ron rittenmeyer wants it to remain that way. >> there is always something going to go wrong. >> reporter: how are you and your family coping right now? >> you should precede your children in death. can't even describe it. >> reporter: the divers network says the majority of cave diving train divers and it's unclear what led to the deaths of the men here this weekend but the professional association of diving instructors tells cbs news the central message remains you must be trained as a cave diver in order to go into these types of underwater caves. >> really good point. thank you. donald trump may see a new path to victory next month. ahead, two political strategists who have experience prepping could suppress turnout at the polls. take us with you on the go. we invite you to subscribe to our new "cbs this morning" podcast. you get the news of the day and extended interviews and podcast originals. you can find them all on itunes and apple's podcast app. we will be right back. i don't want to live with the uncertainties of hep c. or wonder whether i should seek treatment. i am ready. for the most common type of chronic hepatitis c. harvoni is proven to cure up to 99% of patients... ...who've had no prior treatment. it transformed treatment as the first cure that's... ...one pill, once a day for 12 weeks. certain patients... ...can be cured with just 8 weeks of harvoni. harvoni is a simple treatment regimen that's been prescribed to more than a quarter of a million patients. tell your doctor if you've had a liver transplant, other liver or kidney problems, hiv, or any other medical conditions, and about all the medicines you take ts. taking amiodarone with harvoni may cause a serious slowing of your heart rate. common side effects of harvoni may include tiredness, headache and weakness. i am ready to put hep c behind me. i am ready to be cured. are you ready?

>> yes. >> having said that, we have never seen an election like this. there has been nothing about this cycle so far that is predictable. >> reporter: in tonight's final debate, both trump and clinton after november 8th. >> for trump, it appears as though he is pursuing some sort of strategy to rationalize defeat and place the blame for the outcome of the election elsewhere. >> hillary is running for president in what looks like, to many people, a totally rigged election. >> in this debate you'll see more from trump trying to draw the negative and trying to blame his opponent, the moderator. >> reporter: the media?

raising concerns of voter intimidation. >> both trump and his running mate mike pence has vcalled on supporters to act as poll watchers. >> if nothing else, people are going to be watching on november 8th. watch philadelphia. watch st. louis. watch chicago. watch so many other places. >> become involved on election day as a poll worker or a poll watcher. if you're here at a rally and not yet volunteered to participate in the electorate process by respectfully creating accountability on election day you have not done all you can do. >> president obama said, yesterday, that trump's rhetoric weakens american democracy. we recognize that there is something more important than any individual campaign and that is making sure that the integrity and trust in our institutions sustains itself, because democracy, by definition, works by consent and by force. >> the president said trump's claims of widespread voter fraud are not based on facts. we continue our o election series "issues that matter." for the look at the economy, here is how the presidential nominees say they plan to create more jobs for americans, expand the economy, and handle trade agreements with other countries. >> we will rebuild the middle class. we will make work pay. we will great greater opportunities for a great percentage of americans. >> my economic agenda is very, >> what we are going to do is make the biggest investment in new jobs since world war ii. >> our tax trade, energy and regulatory reforms will help us reach 4% growth and create at least 25 million new jobs within a decade. >> when companies try to outsource jobs, we are going to make them give back any tax breaks they ever got. >> under my plan, i'll be reducing taxes tremendously from and big businesses. that is going to be a job creator like we haven't seen since ronald reagan. it's going to be a beautiful thing to watch. >> we are going to raise taxes on the wealthy and close loopholes for corporation to make investments in growing our economy. >> we are cutting taxes for the middle class and i will tell you, we are cutting them big league. >> i have said nobody who makes that is the vast majority of americans, as you know, will have their taxes raised. >> i'm not going to let wall street get away with murder and wall street has caused tremendous problems for us. we are going to tax wall street. >> we should build on the dodd-frank financial reforms and go even further, because wall street can never, ever be permitted to threaten main street again. >> if we don't get the deal we want, we will withdraw from nafta and start all over again maki workers. it's going to be america first. it's america first. >> the answer is to finally make trade work for us, not against us. i will stop any trade deal that kills jobs or holds down wages, including the tran pacific partnership. >> ohio governor and former republican candidate john kasich visited the white house last partnership. kasich focused his presidential bid on promoting the economy. nearly six years later, the economy in his state is 4.7%. governor kasich has not publicly endorsed any candidates and he's with us now from columbus, ohio. governor, thank you for joining us. >> thank you, norah. >> let's talk about the issue of trade. in that first presidential debate, we heard donald trump mention ohio as a state that has been hurt by international trade. your on >> well, look. we are up 430,000 jobs and we think actually trade is good. but, norah, the biggest problem we have is we don't have a system to retrain people. look. trade is really about innovation. it's about growth and it's about assemble consumers. the transpacific green light is not only about helping our country but it's about if we china with a leader who has become the most repressive in a very, very long time. and russia. so we have a lot of little countries out there that are saying, we want to work with the united states and to tell them no, is really a big mistake, not only from an economic point of view, but also from the standpoint of g.o. politics and our ability to be strong in the pacific. but we have to retrain people, though. see, the problem is, norah, the economy -- as the economy changes and inovatnovates becaue are in an ideal economy now. as it changes, we can't leave people behind. our system of job training in this country is totally broken and needs to be fixed and congress has got to do something about it. we are trying to do it in ohio to give people an opportunity to be able to improve their lives by giving them skills to compete a new economy. >> governor, are you saying, in fact, trade does mean a loss of train those people? are you acknowledging that trade does lose jobs? >> in some cases, old industries -- you know, we don't make buggy whips any more, right? but if you lock the doors in our country, consumers will pay more and more jobs will be lost. the fact is there is a change. look. we don't make the apple inside of the apple phone any more, but we have built the apple phone. we designed the apple phone. we created the apple phone. it's better to work mak computer chips than potato chips, frankly. but those people stuck in the old industries need to be retrained. frankly, in our state, we are pushing a program to continually improve people's skills. we are working from kindergarten to retirement. we don't have that in this country right now and, frankly, our education system, k through 12 and including much of higher education, is not functioning and serving our people very well. apple is making a lot of profits and still overseas. do we need tax reform so the profits will come back and create jobs here in america? >> what we know, charlie, we have the highest corporate taxes in the world among the leading industrial countries. and so what happens is people park their money overseas. democrats and republicans both agree on this. it would be great to be able to get that money back to america so we can help -- >> why don't we have that change in the law? >> because congress can't see to get out of its own way. they can't agree on anything. if democrats are for something and republicans against it and if republicans are for something, democrats are against it. look. i went down there to help the president with trade. i don't agree with barack obama on a lot of things but i went down to help him because i happen to believe in free trade because it's good for our country and i get criticized because i go to the oval office to sit with the president. when i was in congress, it was a president and work for the good of the country! they are losing that! >> governor, i was at the white house when you visited. honestly, did the administration tell you they can get this trade deal done before barack obama leaves office? because neither presidential candidate supports it. >> well, it doesn't matter what the presidential candidates say. frankly, you know, candidates say one thing when they are running and change their minds later. i don't know if that will be the case with these two, but what i will tell you there is an opportunity he to push and the democrats will provide some votes. the real question is how hard will the president push for this? and look. i'm going to do everything i can to help the white house on this for the simple reason this is in the best interest of the united states and all this anti-trade talk, this takes us back to the time when people were attacking machines. do you remember -- charlie, you remember. you lived back there. you were reporting. do you remember? >> yes, i am that old. >> they were attacking machines us out of work. it doesn't have to work that way. >> we are short on time and want to get your take. donald trump is saying this election is rigged. is it? >> no! look. i've run statewide in ohio and my first election was extremely close. look. to say that elections are rigged and all of these votes have stolen is like saying we never landed on the moon, frankly. that is how silly it is. no, i don't think that is good for our country, for our democracy and i't one of my great friends here is the head of the board of elections. we don't have that. that is just a silly argument. the problem it creates doubt in people' minds and i worried about 25% of americans who may say when the election is over, it was stolen. that is a big fat joke. >> are you going to vote for the republican nominee tomorrow? >> no. >> are you voting for the democratic nominee? >> no. >> you can start something there. charlie rose. all right. governor kasich, as always, we appreciate you joining us. >> thank you. >> we wanted to focus on the issues and we appreciate your time. you can watch cbs news coverage of
