Inaccurate accusations and putting out misinformation about me. Av you may h e noticed thated tha there little breaking news. Ns. Hillary clinton the a pressn ths conference today. Tod its the first time in 278 278 days. Da she did the she had a little gaggle press gaggle when they unveiled the newe n plane. Pl this is the closest weve haded to one in a long time. Te. Late this afternoon donald an trump fired backly he took onon the issue of education andcati a slammed clinton and democrats ad for what he called their failed policies. The Democratic Party hasartys strapped millions of africanamerican and hispanic hc youth in failing government schools that deny them the the opportunity to join the ladder r of american success. Its time to break up that monopoly. Monopoly have to do it. O dot. Its simply a matter of putting students first, not the education bureaucracy and things that Donald Trumpthat came under fire for was when wae he was talking about africanamerican outreach doing it front of largely large white audiences. Udiences. He was at a school in a sool in cleveland he talked toevelal students out there but then butn again he went into the press conference talking about a Hillary Clinton not so much much about education. Cation. Lets bring in terrence in te samuel from the Washington Post. The politics editor atingt the e post and we appreciate you being here to help us sort all l this out tonight. Ig thanks for having me. S fo hav from the town hall lastl st night who do you think was thet winner and who was the loser. It was hard to tell. T was you know, hard they both did d something completelyet different. Hillary clinton played to her very organized prepared measured self and donald trump u got his politics of and answered a lot of questions he was not asked and you saw exactly how this campaign iss ci going to play out over thever t next six weeks. Weeks. They just played to their strengths and a other on their weaknesses and,sd you know, you can make the t case that we have no idea whata were looking at because bse donald trump has so in some som ways clamored all the usual u metrics. Tr usually what were talkingy whae about now is people areeoplare starting to pay attention, theon race really starting in i earnest after labor day. D. Right. But nobody has not beenn paying attention so to speak sak since donald trump has been in e this race and, you know, quiteui frankly weve known hillary hil clinton for 25 years. Yeah. Eah. So nsome ways we really dont know what wereme look atk in a lot of ways. I think part of what was a soo exciting about last night is that you got a sense of whatsha going to happen when thesehese debates happen and these twose o people are on the same stage. Se terrence there was a lot ofee criticism which well talk tis about a little bitm whic later involving matt lauertt l moderating the the forum last night. Donald trump got a lot ofot o issues in. Issues Hillary Clinton spent the the first 15 minutes deferring15 mut emaesil. This is the scandal that isntt going away. Y. Will this continue to hurt her chances. Talking about this ands d explaining, it is a problem. Ble. In some ways i think they have adjusted to the fact its any iy other going to go away and a shes going to try to answer anr the questions as best as she can. It is not helpful. The best thing they have goingoi for them quite frankly is the nominee on the other side whoe w has problems of his own. Own. Let me ask you about there tminee on the other side with n the problems of his only he h came out and praised putin. P. He he also sort of slammed the current generals. Do you think this is going tonkt hurt him or are people justeus going say its ton trump beingmi donald trump and move on and a wont think anything about it. Gi this is the big question. Does he manage to do his basically his bluster and his Bumper Sticker kind ofind o rhetoric not very deep on any a particular issue but in some s ways communicating kind of sentiment that peoplepl understand and does that do enough to help him connect with people who clearly hes h trying to reach, or does itdoest turn off enough people who think that he is insufficiently prepared, anypary other well informed, too outside of the norm for thisrhi job. B. All right. All right. Terrence samuel the washingtonhg politics editor for washingtonhn post thanks for coming in. Ming i we appreciate having you onatin the show he today. Od enjoyed it. To politics. Young people social mediaal intersecting more and morendore every day and Nbcs Matt Lauer really got a taste of it. I twitter ripped him apartped a while he was moderating thatingt commander in chief forum. Some other journalistsan felt that lauer did not press the pre candidates hard enough on some of the key issues. Rd e ahead the head of Washington PostFact Checkingheg unit tweeted how can someone seo like matt lauer not set theet te record straight on trumps tmp bogus claim on being against the war in iraq. Ira matt more homework. This nbc forum feels likee an embarrassment to t journalism. Jo its about sound bites notit n serious discussion of Foreign Policy he. He. A New York Times politicalic reporter tweeted trump got mostly softball balls but he bue rode over that. Ver i feel for the position mattitit lauer was in. I he needed to ask the tough questions. He only had so much time toime get it in. Ge in. They also had to take tak questions from the audience as well. In Hillary Clintons cnton instance someone asked whatssks your plan for isis and lauerndau goes quickly. So what do you to. O. That doesnt serve theve the public, that doesnt serve youae the voters well atsn all. Ll not at all. Not at all does the. Reaction to lauer e show the perils for debate moderators. We know who they are and the editor with the huffingtonuffing post is here to talk about thett power of social media and the t internet. In page how arete t great. G how are you. Doing well. We had that list of thatist moderators come out. Omeut donald trump said he wanted to t see the list. Lt. He seems happy with the list. L whats your take on who they the chose to moderate the debates. S i think its a good mix. K its one thing that worried me m especially after hat lauersers performance with that forum is Chris Wallace is there firstre t fox person to be chosen to t moderate a debate but the b the thing thats really worrying won is not that he works for fox f f the thing thats worrying isryis that he has said that he he doesnt think its his job to jt fact check the candidates asdata theyre debating each o he thinks its clintons job to t Fact Check Trump and vicemp andv versa. That was something that tha Candy Crowley got a lot of o blow back from when she moderated one debate between barack obama and mitt romney when she said that was going to be her mission Fact Checking but page dont you y think that the you donton believe hes right in sayingn sn they should keep each otherulke honeepst. Ne i definitely think theynkhe could they should keep each other honest and i thinkthey a i clinton will try to do that t and i think tru clinton out whenever he seals s the opportunity do so but as a journalist the core of your you job to make sure that the the people youre covering covin specifically lawmakers inly wmak Chris Wallaces skies to make sure theyre telling the truth and so for matt lauer lastuelast night to let trump say that he opposed the iraq war from the te beginning without calling himlim out on it was a huge fail. Il. Page you gave Matt Lauer Amar below than average grade for. That how would you grade theou rest of his performanceld though or can you understand thatand this is only 24 minutes forues f each candidate and he sort of so had to do what he had to do too get through that. Ha its definitely a toughinitet spot to be in especially when youre on a time crunch like. Unk that i definitely dont faltert him for wanting the answers towo be a little more concise but iib do think that he shop pushed trump quite a bit harder on a o few things. Few things. The tone of his questions forior trump very much felt more in moi line with what trumps tmps personality is like wherease wha the questions that he wast he w asking clinton were a lot moreor about what her policy issues are, policy stance rather so iao definitely think he could haveuh made the questions a littlee more on time crunch thing i dont fault him for. Page lavender from the t huffington post. Thanks. T thank you page. Well, it was gary johnson was on celebrity jeopardy lastrd night. What is aleppo.

I did not see that coming. Dont deal with disruptions. Get Better Internet installed on your schedule. Comcast business. Built for business. Love the one youre with, hm. Wh, eah, relationships areh, relat hard. Seems like sometimes donald l trump and mike pence may beay b not o the republican president ial candidate and hislica running me often seem to differ on the issues but is that a good good thing cause you know sometimes they say oppositesppis attract. Attr thats a huge thing there. Fox5s Tom Fitzgerald iserald is there with more on this one assa we talk about the two men atoptp the gop ticket. Hey, fitz. Reporter you tell me. You two areor there. Tre. Do opposites attract. We made this work. Sometimes. Are you talk about us . Were ue not opposites. Reporter yeah,. Were not opposites. Reporter oh, youre not. Come on fitz. Reporter this is live television. Sion. Two quick observations about what ive been listening to. Matt lauer if youre going tk o do one of these forums dont get up at o dark 30 and stay sy up late. Ate. Clearly needed sleep. The other thing gary johnsonyohn probably did more to raise public consciousness about about aleppo than anything over the past year. Past hes going to take it on theon t chin this one but in a weirdn ai way hes probably provide service to that issue. Issue back to what we were talking. Al. Real quick our boss said wee should play pin the tail onon aleppo and see how many people p knew where it was on map. M im guessing a lot of people wouldnt know. Reporter somebody askedter m me if it was one of themarks brothers. Pence and trump lets go. G reporter these president ial candidates,r al cae everybody has been talking about theseody differences. Renc theyre saying that theres sohs much difference between donald trump and mike pence. Ce. Clearly theyre a bit of anf odd couple. Remember the tv shoodw oscar madison, you look at the democrats, remember family fil ties. Fitz holds on. I got to say were lookingee at that awkward moment where trump leaned in to give him g hm like an air kiss. Reporter kiss him. The air kiss thing and goepis on there. T i just neededhin to point thatt out. Reporter well, it was awkward. Yeah. Reporter awkward and awkwa d uncomfortable we like awkwardwel and we like uncomfortable. Omfor. They have differences. Ey look at where 33 started hav wih trump was leader of ther t birther movement. Mov pence was strong in saying that he believes thatveshat president obama is in fact at os citi izen of the United States e and was born here. Was b here. Thats a big difference. Uhhuh. Trump is the leader in thein the birther movement. Oven when it came to free trade trump said tpp was a loser deal. Pence supports it. I when you go to things like thi trumps ban on muslim immigration, pence came outut and said thats not only offensive its unconstitutional so everyoneryoe is focused on these differences between donalden trump and mike pence. Pce but you know on the other sideed other side of the coin here Hillary Clinton and tim kaine ke have serious differences ones o issues but people are notot paying as much attention to them. And look, one of the most divisive issues and thats apportion. Hillaryappo clinton is staunchly staunchly pro choice. Hoe. But when you dig into it, timt, kaine has a slightly nuancednuce exactly line up with where Hillary Clintonp wi is. I tim kaine says he is in favor fr of the hyde amendment. Mendment what is that . For years therehe has been this amendment in theie federal government that it tt i blocks federal funds and a medicaid funds from being used to pay for abortions except inin the case of rape or incest. Now, kane kaine also says thatsa he is personally opposed toedo abortion howe
