as joe johns was reporting earlier, look, this is someone who powers through. what do you expect her to do now? clearly she's resting at home. what will her next step be? >> i don't think we can predict. i think we can hope that some people will around her will finally say, hillary, you've got to open up in all kinds of ways here because that's when you're really at your best. but i think among other things, she and her doctor need to be in front of the press for an hour with medical records and discussing and open to questions about her medical history, and donald trump needs to do the same, and we need to demand it of both of them. but we have got to start looking at the whole lives of these two candidates, and with some real context. and one of the things that will help is, indeed, as doug brinkley says, perhaps she ought to be doing fewer fund-raisers and more substantive relating to the people who vote in this country. i think it would help her immensely. donald trump actually has done very well by avoiding some of this fund-raising and going straight to t

christine and george. >> joe johns. while she is trying to heal, she is facing criticism over her illness. using it to turn the spotlight on her republican rival. in that very interview with anderson cooper, clinton slammed trump for failing to release medical records, but tax returns. >> compare everything you know about me with my opponent. i think it is time he met the same level of disclosure i have for years. you know, you've got a medical report on me that meets the same standard as mitt romney and barack obama. trump's doctor said he would be the healthiest president in history. that's just not even serious. this is a man with unknown numbers of partners and investors who said he is doing 120 foreign deals. the american people deserve to know what he is up to and what he is hiding. if we weren't fast enough, i talked to my staff, we take responsibility for that. the information is out there. you can't say the same about donald trump. >> brian fallon said your campaign will release more of your records. you know d

let me bring in joe johns. cnn presidential historian douglas brinkley, cnn political analyst and former presidential analyst david gergen and political commentator carl bernstein, the author of "a woman in charge -- the life of hillary rodham clinton." you wanted to jump in. your thoughts? >> she has two weeks to get these health records out. the first debate is two weeks away. she wants to dispose of this issue before she gets there. if, in fact, her health is good, this will be a two day, three-day story and she can go into the debate on the offensive. i put all my tax records out there, my health records out there and you, donald trump, you've been hide, hiding, hiding and owe it to the american people to put it out. she can put him on the defensive. if she waits beyond the two weeks, both sides will be under pressure and they'll be on the defensive. i'd think she'd do it now and maybe the end of this week. >> carl bernstein, do you think now she'll be off the trail. she's not going to california for two da

john and christine. >> jaurt, joe johns in tampa, thanks, joe. >>> bill clinton is hitting the campaign trail defending the work of the clinton foundation. in the battleground state of north carolina he said his foundation has been transparent and blasted the trump organization for blafgt the clinton foundation in 2013. >> i got tickled the other day, mr. trump called my foundation a criminal enterprise. that was pretty funny considering, considering, considering that the three major evaluators of foundations gave it the highest praise they could give. he made contribution to the attorney general of florida who at the time had an office investigating trump university. and mysteriously, the investigation vanished. >> former attorney general pam bondi accuses hillary clinton of trying to bully her. she claims her office was never investigating him. >>> after a seven-week recess, it's business as usual in congress. that means new gridlock. senate democrats blocked two bills to fund research for zika virus. those bills would have blocked funding while allowing veteran flags to fly in vetera

>> joe johns, guys, thanks very much. trump, as jason said, he will be taking the stage in virginia beach. trump will be joined by the former director of the defense intelligence agency, retired lieutenant general michael flynn, a senior adviser to donald trump. he also accompanies the republican nominee to the intelligence briefings that he receives now from the cia. i spoke with general flynn a little while ago. i asked him about the focus of trump's town hall next hour. >> the sole purpose is national security. we will discuss foreign policy and veterans issues and the readiness and the direction our military is going. it is a very stressed-out force. it will be a good set of topics we will be talking about with roughly somewhere between 1200-1500 people today in virginia beach. >> the trump campaign just released the list of 88 retired generals and admirals supporting donald trump. you, i understand, played a role in collecting the signatures. is that right? >> here we are, wolf. i want to tell you that that list. we

>> joe johns reporting live for us, thanks so much. after monday's debate, donald trump's team is reportedly pursuing an aggressive strategy for his next face-off with hillary clinton. you heard jason carroll mention that. the "new york times" is also revealing that campaign advisers to donald trump plan to more rigorously prepare him by drilling the republican nominee on crucial answers, facts and counter attacks and by coaching him on ways to whack mrs. clinton on issues even if he is not asked about them. one line of attack for mr. trump could be talking about sex, specifically bill clinton and his mistresses. but hillary clinton is reportedly ready. her camp seeing that as another way to win over female voters. let's talk about this. patricia murphy, from roll call and the daily beast and paul singer, washington correspondent for "usa today" . welcome to both of you. >> thank you. >> so the next debate, will it be all about just attacking hillary clinton and hitting her hard on issues like her e-mail controversy and such? >> well,

carol. >> joe johns reporting live for us this morning. thank you. donald trump insists he was holding back at the debate, and then he said, just wait until the next debate. he'll double down on his attacks. hillary clinton is on the attack, too, hitting trump on taxes. >> he actually bragged about gaming the system to get out of paying his fair share of taxes. in fact, i think there's a strong probability he hasn't paid federal taxes a lot of years. he said that makes him smart. now, if not paying taxes makes him smart, what does that make all the rest of us? >> so let's talk about this with me now, ron brownstein, senior editor for the atlantic, and political science professor at morgan state university, welcome, gentleman. >> good morning. >> good morning. so, ron, mr. trump told an audience in florida, clinton committed a horrible crime and destroyed lives. do you think he'll call her "crooked hillary" in the next debate? >> i think he'll be much tougher on her. but i think his problem is really more about himself, right? both of these candidates

here's our senior washington correspondent joe johns. >>> hillary clinton is offering a full throated condemnation of north korea's latest nuclear weapons test. >> we are not going to let anyone who is a treaty alley and partner of ours be threatened. we are not going to let north korea pursue a nuclear weapon with the missile ballistic capacity to deliver it to the united states territory. that is absolutely a bottom line. >> clinton's comments come as she meets with national security leaders, including top members of former george w. bush's administration looking to emphasize her commander in chief as global fronts are put front and center in the presidential campaign. >> we won't always see eye on eye. when it comes to questions of war, peace, and the safety of our country, we can't let party affiliation stand between us. we need to put partisanship aside and work together for the good of all of us. >> reporter: as the trump campaign blames clinton for the growth of north korea's nuclear capabilities during her tenure as secretary of state. >> one more massive failure from a secret

joe johns is in the town there. first of all, how is she? second of all, when will the public just be briefed more on her health history? >> reporter: well, what we're being told at least is that hillary clinton is doing better. in fact, the campaign was reporting that hillary clinton was doing better yesterday after she got out of sight of the cameras, if you will. and we're told that she might be doing a little bit of debate prep today but not going out to san francisco for that big high-end fund-raiser as was expected. as far as hearing more about hillary clinton's health condition, we do know from brian fallon, the campaign spokesman, that we should get more medical records in light of what happened over the weekend, more medical records about hillary clinton, but the campaign is also saying, this event is as it has been chasracterized. she was diagnosed on friday with pneumonia. that it was treated with antibiotics and then the events on yesterday culminating with that stumble on camera. important also to say that the indication from th

joe johns is in cleveland ahead of the hillary clinton m appearance. both campaigns have their planes on the tarmac in cleveland at the very same time. something that also caught the attention. tim kaine, among so many others. jim acosta, first of all, what are we hearing from the donald trump folks today? >> wolf, i think that image sums it up. every four years, we seem to say it is all about ohio. it does seem like on this labor day as we get into the homestretch of this 2016 campaign, donald trump spending a few different spots here in the northern part of the states around cleveland, ohio, meeting with a group of union members and leaders. also, after that, had lunch with a group of union members in cleveland. he is going to make his way over to canfield, ohio, near youngstown to go to the county fair. we are going to see donald trump and mike pence walking around. what we heard from donald trump is road testing that message. donald trump trying to connect with blue collar workers saying that his message, his prescription for the economy is going t

joe johns joins me now. if the leigh talk about taking questions today and yesterday, and the fact that it's even a story it's something that reporters had to say for months. what did she have to say? >> it's a tradition and it goes back years and years and years, quite frankly. she used a second opportunity to talk to reporters where she felt as though she was treated unfairly and also to launch some attacks on donald trump and she talked about the scams, and the questionable relationships and she touched on a public reports that the donation from the trump foundation to the florida attorney general. she also once again weighed into the issue of donald trump not releasing his tax returns. here's what she said about that. >> he said that the american people don't care about his tax returns. and, in fact, he's also said that it's none of our business. i just think he's dead wrong. i'm going to continue to raise this because i think it is a fundamental issue about him in this campaign that we're going to talk

joe johns reporting live. let's talk some more. back again dana bash, brianna keilar, david swordlick from "the washington post" and david louter from the "los angeles times." dana, big picture because i like perspective on this show so this birther controversy, why does it matter? >> well, it matters for a whole host of issues, let's just start with the raw politics and the strategy here. which is a little bit about what we talked about earlier in the show. but when you're looking at the universe of the electorate and where and how donald trump can win, the people who are running his campaign now, who are looking at the numbers, are seeing the fact that he's got his based frite locked up. they're enthusiastic about it. he's a good intensity for him. but he needs to get beyond that. he just does. we learned that with mitt romney who was a very different kind of republican. but he didn't get beyond his core base and he couldn't win, especially when it came to the electoral college. he needs to do that. and what they're seeing, and j

let's head out to joe johns, he's at hofstra. you heard hillary clinton mention that microphone problem that donald trump brought up. was there a microphone problem in the hall you know of? >> it's not clear. what was clear is there was some talk about it, from donald trump included. not clear the extent to which there was a microphone problem. i think the really interesting thing about hillary clinton coming out today and i agree with brianna that that was sort of a victory lap. also interesting that she pointed out once again the issue of donald trump's demeanor as well as the notion of his relationship with women voters. the sense among some on the hillary clinton side he really talks down to women. that really appeared at the very end of the debate last night. and she got in what i would call a planned zinger there. that involved as you know, carol the misuniverse from the 1990s who was from venezuela. something that i think this campaign saw as so effective they immediately put out a web video. so we look to see hillary clin

joe johns was on hand and he joins us to tell us more. hi, joe. >> reporter: hi, carol. one thing you can sure say is the hillary clinton campaign is hitting this issue very hard. last night at the black -- i'm sorry, the hispanic caucus gala she talked about it. she also tweeted about it today. at least her campaign did, calling donald trump the birther in chief. then she hit it again here today before this umbrella organization of african-american groups from around the country. very well-known groups. it's because the campaign sees this as an issue that they can use to get out the vote. they can look at african-american voters and say to them donald trump is disrespecting the first african-american president and let's listen just to a little bit of what she had to say before this group here in washington today. >> for five years, he has led the birther movement to delegitimize our first black president. his campaign was founded on this outrageous lie. there is no erasing it in history. just yesterday, trump again refused to say with his own words that the president wa
