Thinking big dreams and figuring out practical ways to achieve them. Reporter he believed in a twostate solution until the very end. Maybe in the conversation some people will say this and that, but the official position and real desire of israeli and i think thats also the conclusion of the arabs. Reporter after nearly 50 years as a member of the knesset he served until his retirement in 2014. When asked how he wanted to be remembered, he didnt mention a life of Civil Service . Saved the life of a single child. This will satisfy me more than anything else. Reporter condolences pouring in from all over the world. This from president obama. A light has gone out, but the hope he gave us will burn on forever. Peres was a soldier for israel, for the jewish people, for justice, for peace. For the gift of his friendship and the example of his leadership, todah rabah, shimon. Thats how much he meant to other World Leaders who saw him as a visionary for peace, a dreamer and a believer in peace between israelis and palestinians and beyond. Alisyn and chris . Thank you very much. Very well reported there. I never saw president obama write a condolence letter with the depth and breath of this one. Worth your finding it and reading it. Lets discuss the life and legacy of shimon peres with christiane amanpour. The depth of service, as well. What do you think he meant to israel and to the Peace Process . Well, listen, chris, i think that, you know, people will remember him with a smile on their face because he was a Pretty Amazing person and he will always be linked forever with the word peace. And all the tributes today come from World Leaders and ordinary people with that vital word right there front and center. He was also, as you know, started out fairly divisive figure in his political career when he came and hes one of the last of the founding generations, which created the state of israel. He came to what was then palestine as an 11yearold boy from poland with his parents and then with the first ever israeli Prime Minister. Joined the creation of the state of israel. His great initial service to the state was building up israels defenses. Idf and even Prime Minister netanyahu he built up the reactor. A very, very Strong Defense legacy in shimon peres life, as well. He then turned to become a peacemaker. As all complex, fascinating people, they always have these mixed backgrounds. So, i think that what people really understand about him is that he tried to put aside what was the sort of impetus at the beginning and his arab neighbors, first and foremost, the palestinians. When i met him many, many times in washington, london and i was also invited several times to the shimon peres center. I met him the last time and i asked him what he thought his legacy would be and he responded in the typical sort of self deprecating way he could in public. What do you think your contribution to history has been . Thats one of the things i cant understand. I dont know. Im trying to do my best in my life. But, you know, it came to me as a total surprise. I was sitting in the apec governing and all of a sudden the president stood up and announced and i looked down. What did i do wrong . What is the mistake . I dont have the slightest idea. So, selfdeprecating in public there. He was known to have a very, very sharp wit, as well. Came back with zingers all the time and many people also found him a little bit arrogant and sort of proud. He always wanted to reach out and stretch that hand and quoted many things that i think speak volumes about him. He quoted the greek philosopher saying in war the old buried the young but in peace the young buried the old. If i could make the world a better place for the young, that would be the greatest thing i could do. The former Prime Minister said he understood the importance of negotiation because he understood the cost of war. But because he had lived through many, many years of conflict. So, it wasnt just, you know, sort of pollyannaish. He knew bridging peace in that part of the world is vital. We know it has not been achieved yet. Lets talk about that moment. That monumental moment at the white house that so many of us remember in september of 1993 when he helped orchestrate the historic handshake that so many people thought would be impossible, but, you know, he believed in, obviously, bridging the divide and reaching out to ones enemies. If you see that picture and actually play the video, youll see it is shimon peres signing the accords there and Yasser Arafat was looking on and along with president clinton they both literally body languaged that hand shake. Not a natural thing for Prime Minister rabin to do after all the history and bad blood between the two sides. That was an incredibly important moment. Obviously, oslo was so important because he was the one who persuaded Prime Minister rabin. They must try peace now after that first intefadeh it lasted until arafat died that the legacy of that has never recovered and no real serious ability to forge peace ever since. Thank you for sharing all your reporting and memories of him with us. Thanks. Turning now to our other top story, the president ial race. Donald trump is back on the campaign trail attacking Hillary Clinton and claiming victory after the first debate. Cnn is live in orlando with more. Give us the latest, sara. Good morning, alisyn. After spending a lot of yesterday blaming the debate moderator and blaming his microphone, trump got his groove back when he was campaigning in florida last night. He, of course, declared himself the victor of the debate even though some of his own supporters believed he missed some opportunities and he did admit he could have unloaded a little bit more on Hillary Clinton. For 90 minutes, i watched her very carefully. And i was also holding back. I didnt want to do anything to embarrass her. But i watched her and she was stuck in the past. Now, even if donald trump did miss some opportunities on that debate stage, its clear that at least donors felt okay about his performance. In less than 24 hours following the debate, the campaign raised 18 million and while cdonald trump was on stage basically came from lowdonor dollars. Thats not the case. A lot of traditional highdollar republican fundraiser and folks from previous campaigns that we saw at trump tower yesterday. No question, sara, a big thirst for change. The question is, is trump the right change agent . That proposition dealt a little bit of a blow in that debate by anybodys standard. Hillary clinton basking in the glow of her strong debate performance. Teaming up with Bernie Sanders hitting on the controversies marring her rivals debate performance. Cnn joe johns live in washington with more. And our understanding is that its not a gaffe parade, its that you got to see him and weigh him and measure him and he should have been found lacking, joe. Thats what the Clinton Campaign wants voters to think right now. Theyre projecting an upbeat image. One day after the first debate with more help on the way. As you said from Bernie Sanders to try to get Younger Voters who just seem as critical motivated for this election. Sanders will appear with secretary clinton to stem any further departure of millennials who could be turning to libertarian candidate gary johnson. Meanwhile yesterday in raleigh, north carolina, Hillary Clinton giving every indication that her and her campaign are riding high. Listen. Did anybody see that debate last night . Oh, yes. One down, two to go. The Clinton Campaign is also hoping for another day of free Media Coverage of the Miss Universe controversy that their candidate loved over the Trump Campaign at the end of the debate this about who was publicly berated by donald trump for gaining weight. Hopefully it will serve as a motivater for two important demographics that would be hispanics, as well as women voters. Pressing the case with her own media appearance, as well as social media with supporters weighing in along with a noticeable amount of trolling that just promotes her name and the story that has now taken a life of its own. Clearly, no accident. Planned, calculated attack by the Clinton Campaign which almost immediately came out with a web video. Thanks for all of that. Joining us to discuss it all errol lewis, cnn politics mark preston and National Political reporter for boston globe matt visor and clara marie rejoins us. Great to have all of you here this morning. Donald trump decided he won the debate. This is despite polls, legitimate polls that show thats not how the viewers saw it. But he has cited online polls that most news organizations do not use to say that he won. What do you make of this . Look, in the last six weeks of the campaign, it does no good to sort of give some sort of nuance, neutral opinion to your own troops about you did. The reality is you have to keep the morale going and give people a reason to get up every day and go and fight, especially in the battleground states. It was inevitable that both sides were going to claim victory. It is interesting to see the media get swept along with it. You know, as sort of a protip to our colleagues, they should realize a huge difference between a real poll and a survey where, as weve already seen some reporting on this, people can just kind of get a bunch of their friend and get organized and go and vote again and again and again. Some news organizations are touting it as real. Trump claims victory and put up all these numbers. It seems like pure representation. Well put the question out on the internet and drives a tons of traffic to their websites. Something gratifying about that. Cnn is the only one who took the time to do a telephone poll and people dont get the distinction. So, that gives trump a little bit of cover to say, see, the media is against me. Heres what he cant get cover from that was evident to everybody who watched that debate. He does not take the tough questions well. He doesnt want them. Thats why you wont see him on this show. When he has asked them in the debate form, he struggles. He doubles down on the criticism of the question. Has that gotten tired for voters, do you think . Its got tired for me. And i think its gotten tired for a lot of us who practice journalism. But i do think that for some reason that hes getting away with it. I mean, his support is so strong right now, its not eroding from those who are with him. What we will find out perhaps as early as friday morning, perhaps late thursday night, is the fact that really no policy when he was at that debate had that actually hurt them. Thats when well likely see a new poll that is scientifically done, not something you go on your computer and just keep hitting return, researcturn, re return. I cant imagine he came out of that debate and he was stronger for it. There is no way that could have happened. Donald trump has his own rationale. He was holding back not to hurt Hillary Clintons feelings. Watch this. For 90 minutes i watched her very carefully and i was also holding back. I didnt want to do anything to embarrass her. But i watched her and she was stuck in the past. For 90 minutes on issue after issue. Hillary clinton defended the terrible status quo. We while i laid out our plan. Did he lay out his plan in the debate . No. I think some of the best moments for trump was when he was characterizing this as a status quo versus change election. And talking about Hillary Clintons decades in washington, decades in policy and not inflicting change. And those moments were few, though. I mean those were at the very beginning of the debate. Once it change under to a discussion of whether donald trump is fit to take that change, he sort of lost control. Once it became the issue of over his taxes, over iraq war, over his truthfulness or lack thereof, he sort of lost it a little bit and Hillary Clinton did a much better job, you know, sort of making it about donald trump and putting the debate on her terms instead of trumps. He had a tougher task than Hillary Clinton. We know what Hillary Clinton is. I mean what on purpose, she has weaknesses and flaws and imperfections. He is trying to cast himself as a change agent. But he is not a change agent. He has never been a change agent in any way of public service. He cant show any proof of it. So, he then goes into trying to make that case and cant make the case and coupled with his inability to make criticism. The proof is Miss Universe situation. No politician with a scintilla of common sense would stay on this. He said stupid things about her that are debasing to women and he gets called out for it. You called her these things, its wrong. Goes right back at it and goes on Television Just to talk about it and where is the virtue in this except feeding his own need to fight back . And i dont know how much of it is personal, always with trump the personal and professional get mixed together. Where is the personal . He said the things he said. She gained a lot of weight, thats the real problem. Thats the owner at the time of the pageant. This is a commercial dispute for him, which also becomes a personal dispute because his name is on everything. He says she didnt live up to her end of the contract. Once that happens, we know what to expect from donald trump. Its all guns blazing and no backing down and no apologizing. Even 20 years later, he still wants to go after her. You didnt do what you were supposed to do. You put on weight and it was a real problem for us. On and on and on. It is him being a businessman or his kind of businessman and not being a politician. Sara, she basically says that when this happened, when she was Miss Universe 20 years ago and she gained some weight that donald trump publicly humiliated her and called a press conference where he invited reporters to watch her work out because he was forcing her to work out. So she was on anderson coopers show last night. Listen to what she had to say. He was really aggressive. He was really rude. He was a bad person with me. That is the story i need to share, for me community. We can accept more insults for my latin community. I know very well, mr. Trump, and i can see the same person that i met 20 years ago. So, this is not going to help with female voters. We can assume, but as errol said, he cant disengage from this fight. Well, right. I think donald trump really determines how effective of a surrogate Alicia Machado is for Hillary Clinton. Hes doing a good job ensuring she will not go away to continue to talk about her gaining weight. Look, this was show business, this is television and this is something i was doing for the cameras and was i insensitive, yes. And i apologize. But he really just took the bait over and over again when it cams to his Business Practices and that was an area of frustration for some of the supporters and some people doughinanating mones c campaign. But he needs to not get bogged down in these personal battles, but Hillary Clinton knows how hard it is for him to pass up Something Like that and he just could not manage to do it on that debate stage. Last word, marc. Look, its a sign of character. He lies, he denies, he goes out and he attacks and he doubles down. These are very important issues and the Arizona Republic who never endorsed a democrat over a republican is now endorsing Hillary Clinton and one of the reasons is because of his temperament and they dont feel he is safe as a commander in chief. Just one quick qualifier. Sara is using words, but he did not take the bait. He is not being baited. Things are being presented to him and its his desire and his mode of how he responds to them. This is no trick. He is no victim. Its important to recognize that. Panel, thank you very much. We have a quick programming note for you.
