>> i believe on friday, north carolina, he had a teleprompter, but i want to ask about something that you mentioned late last week, which is that you intended to have a conversation with the president. did you talk to him? and if so, was there any discussion at all about him stepping aside? >> i have not talked to the president, sent friday and if he asked my opinion, i will give it as a always do, and that is very clearly he should stay in this race. you should demonstrate it going forward. his capacity to lead the country and i think the american people are demonstrating that i just left the state of florida. i was in invention, behead 8,400 african american men. registered for that conference. i did not find one single one of them. who told me that they are not fully confident in joe biden. and that's just a fact have been hear from people even the people on the floor. yes there were some trepidation the next morning but only one of the people i talk to expressed an opinion that joe biden should drop out everybody else says, we need to make some calibrations here going forward. and that's what we need to do if you're going to have another debate. the preparation for that debate needs to be different. there's no question in my mind. we cannot be another candidate with all well, i don't know i think that joe biden will do well, but the debate i think it all depends upon what the rules are. i don't like the bag, but nobody will do in effect, check-in. you just said which you want to say, you know, its ally, the guy told 30 some odd lives and nobody checked him on it and say that was up to joe biden to do i'm not too sure if i asked you a question and you lied to me with the answer our to follow her up and give you what the facts are and see what your reaction to that would be. so that's to me was not the way to plan the debate. and whoever did that agreed to that really should think about what they're doing yeah. okay. well, it was a debate, agreed to by president biden. first two proposed this debate? should the president release his full medical records, would that help? >> well. i. think both i'm sure released his personal religious one has trump released records he's released a bunch of fullest is from two doctors. wonderful him, his serving in the congress now and as being challenged his performance about being adopted in the white house. once i've called, this, is prescription, the candy store no. i think that everybody should be judged by the same rules. so i don't know anything about either one of them is records without doing this we know much more about joe biden's health records. then we know about donald trump and nobody is asking for it. if in the anybody displays off the wall stuff it was read on display for us in that debate the other night. jump in and has a history of stuttering he did that as a child. all of us know how stutter is operating. i went to school with one so when you have a trouble getting other word that is what comes from stuttering. but when he expressed opinions he was on the money with dependence. he may not have gotten the word out, but the thoughts were great. you said on friday sir, quote i'm a biden person. >> i'm going to be for biden if harris ain't there and i'm going to be for harris. if biden eight, there does that mean that if i know you don't think he should, but if the president did step aside, it should be kamala harris, who is the nominee. full stop i'm for biden harris in this campaign and i will look at i'm sure biden won't be there the next time, which means harris might be that's for the next election. i want to quickly give you the opportunity to respond to something that donald trump said on the debate stage about undocumented migrants. i'm talking about that immigrants rather they're taking black jobs now. >> and it could be 18, it could be 19 and even 20 million people, they're taking black jobs and they're taking hispanic jobs. >> what's your reaction to that it's joe biden has been talking about this. >> he's bint to the other night don trump has been donald trump. he has a very, very, very low opinion of people are color black, brown, whatever color he has a low opinion of like people. he's demonstrated that all of his life. and i would like to hear from some of his black supporters why they will not have these discussions but what this man has done to black women, what this man has done too young black youth and what he has done to his own businesses when it comes to black people i've taught reverence shop and he told me he's been in and out of his businesses and never have seen a black person in any of them. how do you adjust, give this man a pass on all of that? compare his hiring records to joe biden's higher and records. and then that also gives you some indication of whether it would be going forward so what do you said the other night by black jobs, meant to me that there are certain jobs for black people and there are certain jobs for white people. there are certain jobs. white people, and there's certain jobs for non white people and these people coming in it will be taken those jobs that offer non white people, never mind. them being the threat to those jobs for the rest of us congressman jim clyburn. thank you so much for joining me this morning. i appreciate it thank you very much for having me up next. what about president trump did his own debate performance hurt him with a very voters he needed it's senator lindsey graham is next. and our top democratic officials doing enough to quiet concerns about president biden, former house speaker, nancy pelosi, will be here next sunday. dr. sanjay gupta reports on hold for the devastating effects of alzheimer's reversing, something that seems so preordained. it sounds extraordinary. dr. sanjay gupta reports the last alzheimer's patient next sunday at eight on cn at fisher investments, we may look like other money managers, but were different. you can't be that different. >> we are we have a team of specialists, not only in investing, but also in financial and estate planning and more, your clients rely on you for all that yes. and as a fiduciary, we always put their interests first, but you still saw commission-based products, right?

here with me now is south carolina republicans senator lindsey graham. thank you so much for being here. sir. you of course. now, a close confidant, donald trump's. i want to start with how he did on thursday night. his answers were long and often he did not give a related answer to the question that he was asked by cnn's count, he made 30 false claims and didn't commit to accepting the election results as loses why doesn't that give you and other republicans pause about him well, i thought he had a very good night. >> people who've watched the debates thought the same thing to attend to the day. he was strong, it was clear he was coherent, but this idea that biden had a bad night that's not that's not the stories had a bad presidency, had a disastrous debate how could we get here? how could the american people see what they saw and not before warned you gotta compliant media, who's written off the problems with president biden. they've tried to solve cell this is attacked by the right-wing that is compromised. there is no clean fakes here. the man is compromised and the media has been covering the policies of visit administration are destroying the country and the new york times and the lander journal constitution warn him out, but they think he's a good president. he's not a good president. he's a decent man. he's a fail president. he has compromised. that's the story line here. that's what the world. so i compromise president. and if you want to look at past performance to judge what's going to happen in the future. god help us all of joe biden gets reelected. senator. i do want to ask you about president biden in one second, but just to follow up on donald trump's since you are effectively a surrogate and a supporter of his? yeah. i did ask him three times about whether he would accept the results of the election, whether or not he ends and he only at the end said that yeah, if it was fair and legal and good election are you comfortable with that yeah. >> what are you supposed to say? yeah, i'll accept it no matter if i thought it was cheated, i'm not worried about him accepting the results of the election. i'm worried about between now november does iran get a nuclear weapon? go say thank joe biden so common promise. he's not going do anything about it. then you all did a good job. you let them talk. you're not fact-checkers. you let him talk, you know, 13 americans did die in afghanistan on biden's watch from a disastrous withdrawal. but you've got to compliance media and a lockstep democratic party who cheers bad policy. have you? you heard one person named to replace bind. it would do anything different on the border? no. have you heard anybody criticize his withdrawal from afghanistan? they're considering replacing him with so this is a very dangerous time for america and the world at large. this election turn from this debate, clearly, president biden is compromised but most importantly, his policies are not working. and jim clyburn said, if you like, what's going on, you get going to get more of it 70% of the people and discuss you think we're going in the wrong direction. the democrats keep calling president trump a felon. well, be careful what you wish for. i expect they will be investigations of binds, criminality at the border. if i orcus. i should be worried that somebody's going to come after you because you've abused the parole statute, the hunter biden laptop, all 51 of the people who signed a letter saying the laptop was fake and russian disinformation. hope somebody looks at you because that's election faris. so this country is, i have a resetting here and using the bind standard of glorifying political prosecutions pandora's box has been opened. what are the steps down or not accountabilities coming to him. i want to get to a couple of important issues, sir, but you just warned of retribution yeah i warned that the pandora's box open by the democrats is going to be applied here. >> there should be an investigation america's and biden for abusing the parole statute that led to the burner of laken riley. they let the accused killer out because of lack of capacity they. paroled him a legally i think their criminality of the biden border policies should be looked at. we should look at how people lie about the hunter biden the laptop being vague when it was real. yeah. i expect people to look at that. you had a january 6 committee looking at what happened on january 6. i hope there'll be a committee looking at border policy pluses have led to the rape and murder of lots of americans, people from 18 to 30 dying by fentanyl pausing, coming to a broken border? yeah, i hope that does happen. all right. i want to ask you about the mideast because you haven't working to try to negotiate a defense agreement with saudi arabia? it could pave the way for a broader normalization deal between them and israel. the last time you were on the show, you told me that you want to help president biden get this done and that we're running out of time. does that stand now? >> i am still trying to help president biden his team to have saudi arabia normalized with israel what needs to happen years the war needs to lessen in terms of military conflict in gaza, i think that's going to wind down and they need to negotiate an answer to the palestinian question. and i think the crown prince would recognize his role building on the abraham accords. president trump said, he wanted to end these wars as quick as possible. it may be possible between now and the election to come up with a solution. and gaza and the west bank, that not only would end the war, but allow israel to live in peace and the palestinians have a more hopeful life and have the saudi arabia recognize israel which would be the end of the arab-israeli conflict. i'd like to help in that regard, but i am urging the american people listen to what congressman clever and said he thinks president biden has been a great president. he had a bad night. now he had a bad night. he said a terrible presidency if you want more of the same broken borders, a world on fire out-of-control inflation. then you need to reelect president biden if you weren't fundamentally change and go back to the policies of trump, then you need to vote for him. is that clear? >> senator lind
