A hot mess. As Hillary Clintons email scandal first exploded in the spring of 2015, her top advisers were not just scrambling to do damage control over her actions, they were also privately worried president obama had not told the whole truth. Mr. President , when did you first learn that Hillary Clinton used an email system outside the u. S. Government for official business, while she was secretary of state . The same time everybody else learned it through news reports. Reporter cheryl mills, clintons chief of staff at the state department, knew the president had received work emails from clintons personal email address. Mills writing on march 7th, 2015, we need to clean this up. He has emails from her. They do not say state. Gov. After mills sounded those alarm bells, two days Later White House press secretary, john ernest, tried to clarify. The president was not aware of the fact this was a personal email server, and that this was the email address that she was using exclusively for all her business. Reporter a previous Wikileaks Dump revealed on march 4th, 2015, after a subpoena had been issued by republican trey gowdy, chair of the select Committee Probing benghazi for clinton to preserve all email, mills received a note from Campaign Chairman john podesta marked special category, writing, think we should hold emails to and from the president . Thats the heart of his executive privilege. Today we learned on march 9 the th, 2015, days after the existence of the server was reviewed and goudys subpoena was issued clinton aides were feuding over leaks that the former secretary of state was about to address the media about her server for the first time. An adviser wrote the leaks were infuriating clinton, im sure this isnt news but this is creating trust problems on her end. Communication director Jennifer Palmeri emails just podesta, im telling you right now if theres any hint of trust issues with me, i am not taking this job. See below email from philippe, saying the leaks are creating trust issues for hrc. Chill, podesta said, remember the source of the email got us in this hot mess. Telling podesta, this is a cheryl special, why didnt they get this stuff out 18 months ago . So crazy. Podesta says unbelievable. Tanden concludes they wanted to get away it. Some pointed to emails raising possible questions about Hillary Clintons health. Remember, she had a concussion a few years ago. When she was preparing for the first democratic debate in fall 2015, john podesta wrote this email, how bad is her head . She wrote, i dont know, houma left here a bit ago. I just pinged again to ask about prep, havent heard back. Did she have a head cold . We found another email exchange, after clinton launched the campaign in spring of 2015, talking about responding to an attack from jeb bushs superpac, huma abedin writes shes going to stick to notes a little closer this a. M. Still not perfect in her head. Now, did she mean the talking points were still not perfect in her head, shes going to use notes, was there Something Else going on . There have been conspiracies out there, we dont want to give them any credence, but Hillary Clinton a couple months ago fell down, her health became an issue, these emails are out there and the clinton camp as you know is taking this stance, theyre not going to push back against individual emails. So they just wont say. Yeah, they want to point to russia. Stealing the emails. Okay. Thank you. Right now, millions of americans who get their Health Insurance through obamacare are wondering what theyre going to do. Huge premium spikes, average of about 25 , but much higher in some places, will go into effect next year. Even with government subsidies, that could price some people out of the market. Defeating the stated purpose of the Affordable Care act. The administration insists increasing subsidies will cover the premium increases. Republicans as you u ccan imagi are on the warpath with the confirmation of what theyve been talking about for years coming two weeks before election day. The president and democrats in tight races are trying to explain or running for cover. We get that story tonight from correspondent kevin corke at the white house. Reporter sticker shock. Thats how critics are describing the massive hike in premiums facing those who get their Health Coverage under the Affordable Care act. Obamacare. The governments own study showing that prices will go up dramatically in 2017. In some cases not by single, not by double, but by triple digits in the coming year. Online, on air, even on facebook. White house officials eager to tamp down the furor were out in force today. Still trying to sell the merits of the law. And one of the things that we think Going Forward that we should do to improve our Health Insurance is to offer a deeper subsidy to young people, to encourage them to go into the marketplace. Reporter while the hikes will vary from state to state, consumers in arizona, for example, are expected to get hit with a whopping 145 increase in premiums. Part of this is because arizona is one of those states that had really low average premi premiums, among the lowest in the country, so now Insurance Companies basically are trying to catch up. Reporter that was president obamas explanation for the pending spike last week, but today his administration was forced to concede while the law is covering millions more people, its also costing more. The fed says average premium coverage will rise about 25 nationwide compared to 2016. Thats about 302 a month on average up from 242. Health and Human Services officials still say most people wont be affected by the increase. 72 of consumers, they say, should be able to find priemium that cost less than 75 a month. Even in arizona where 75 of the folks actually have subsidies that will help them so that theyre insulated from those changes. Reporter House Speaker paul ryan wasnt buying it. In a statement he quipped the president recently compared obamacare to a Samsung Galaxy note 7 and hes right. This disastrous law is blowing up but at least you can return the phone. Critics say the rate hikes were predictable if not outright planned. The democrats instituted obamacare. Why . Because they knew it eventually would fall on its own and move to a singlepayer system. Now if you like the department of motor vehicles, youre going to love a singlepayer system. Reporter even worse for the president s own pear, backing his Signature Health care law will now come at an increasingly higher political price. Forcing even staunch advocates to consider when it comes to obamacare whether its time to fix it, or forget it. Bret, as you pointed out and a lot of members of gop are unimpressed of what they heard lately about obamacare. Let me share what arkansas senator tom cotton had to say today. He said obamacare is in a death spiral and we must take action before things get worse. Obviously much worse for those middle class families who no doubt have to bear the brunt of the sharp price increases. Bret . Kevin corke live on the north lawn. Thank you. Major flaws in obamacare are no surprise to people who have studied the law, both sides talking about it needs to be fixed. Back in 2010, i asked president obama about many of these issues at the white house. Heres part of that conversation. What the American People care about is the fact that their premiums are going up 25 , 40 , 60 . And are we going to do something about it, bret . The core of this bill is going to be affecting every American People. If you have insurance, youre going to be able to keep it. If you dont have insurance, youre going to be able to buy into a pool like members of congress have. Were going to make sure that weve got Delivery System reforms that strengthen medicare, that are going to make sure that doctors and hospitals are providing Better Service and better care. And this is going to reduce the deficit. Do you guarantee theyre going to be able to keep their doctors . Bret, you got to let me finish my answers. What we cant do is perpetuate a system in which millions of people day in and day out are having an enormously tough time and Small Businesses are sending me letters constantly saying that they are seeing their premiums increase 40 , 50 . Mr. President , you said monday and you praised the Congressional Budget Office numerous times. You also said this. This proposal makes medicare stronger, you just said is to me here. Makes coverage better, makes finances more secure and anyone who says otherwise is misinformed o r trying to misinform you. The cbo said specifically the 500 billion you say youre going to save from medicare is not being spent in medicare. That this bill spends it elsewhere. Outside of medicare. So you cant have both. You either spend it on expenditures or you make medicare more solvent. So which is it . Heres what it does. On the one hand, what youre doing is eliminating insurance subsidies within medicare not making anybody healthier but fattening the profits in Insurance Companies. That money goes back into medicare, both to fix the doughnut hole, lower premiums. All those things are important, but whats also happening is each year, were spending less on medicare overall, and as a consequence, that lengthens the trust fund and its availability for seniors. Your chief actuary for medicare said this, cuts in medicare can not be simultaneously used to finance other federal outlays and extend the trust fund. Thats your guy. No, and what is absolutely true is that this will not solve our whole medicare problem. Were still going to have to fix medicare over the long term. 38 trillion in the hole. Thats the reason i put forward a Fiscal Commission based on republican and democratic proposals to make sure that we have a longterm fix for the system. The key is that this proposal doesnt weaken medicare. It makes it stronger for seniors currently who are receiving it. So you dont buy, the cbo or the actuary, you cant have it both ways . No, what is absolutely true, what i do agree with, is that you cant say that you are saving on medicare and then spend the money twice. And just an update, the Medicare Hospital Trust Fund will have sufficient funds to cover it, its obligations until 2028, according to officials, two years sooner than projected last year. More on this with the panel. Donald trump is is trying to make hay of the obamacare news. Hes in florida again tonight. Trying to capture a state thats absolutely vital to his president ial hopes. Chief Political Correspondent carl cameron is at a trump rally in tallahassee.

Now, they said 25 . Forget youll take 25 . Its going to be 60 , 70 , 80 , 90 . In the great state of arizona, its over 100 . It is crazy. Repealing obamacare and stopping hillarys Health Care Takeover is one of the single most Important Reasons that we must win on november 8th. Reporter trumps showing final sprint discipline, bashing obamacare at his events. This morning at his dural resort, he promised to get rid of it. Obamacare has to be repealed and replaced and it has to be replaced with something much less expensive for the people. Reporter he called into Rush Limbaugh and fox news. We will have plans that are so good and plans that people arent even thinking about right now. Theyll be tailor made, theyll be phenomenal and much less expensive. Reporter touting his employees at dural this morning, trump misspoke when he said this. I can say all of my employees are having a tremendous problem with obamacare. You folks, this is another group. Is that a correct statement . I mean, you look at what theyre going through, what theyre going through with their health care is horrible because of obamacare. Reporter in fact, 95 of trumps employees have Employer Provided Health care, not obamacare. Polls showing him behind in key battleground states. I think im winning in florida which i have to win. I think im winning in North Carolina from what i hear. Im polling very well in ohio. In fact, im going to win ohio. Were doing phenomenally well in iowa. Yeah, i think i think were either winning or tied. Its going to be very, very close. Reporter trump denies plans to start his own Cable News Network if we loses but launched a newscast on facebook last night with Campaign Advisers and contributor from glenn becks web show the blaze. Row, d trump is in another North Carolina, and visiting washington, d. C. , for the official opening of his new hotel on pennsylvania avenue. Do you think obamacare premium hikes will have any effect on this election . Let me know on twitter bret fair. Tonight we take you to texas, traditionally about as red as any state you kind. But the gop dominance is in jeopardy right now two weeks from election day. Correspondent Casey Steagall tells us why from dallas tonight. Reporter in a year of political firsts, add this to the list. For the First Time Since 1976, texas is a tossup state. A recent poll conducted by the university of houston shows just a threepoint margin between trump and secretary Hillary Clinton. Plus, the real clear state average has trump up just six points. Significant, explains cal jilson, Political Science professor at Southern Methodist university because republican president ial candidates usually enjoy doubledigit leads and wins here. That means a lot of republicans are uncomfortable, theyre dumbfounded, theyre deeply concerned. Reporter and early clues from early voting gives democrats even more reason to be optimistic. A line spilling out the door at an early voting location in Harris County near houston. This is a pretlittle unusual reporter four years ago president obama narrowly won this slice of texas and voter turnout was among the highest in history. This time around, new records have already been shattered. In the first full day of early voting in Harris County, more than 67,000 people cast a ballot. Roughly 20,000 more than day one in 2012. In dallas, different county, same story. An 80 hike as been recorded with firstday voting totals. In and around austin, almost a 100 jump. Jillson adds many establishment Texas Republicans just cant get behind this gop nominee. Theres real reluctance and some of that reluctance will show itself in people staying home, leaving the top of the ticket blank. Reporter state democrats see this as a golden opportunity. Being this close is a huge accomplishment for this party. And its getting people excited because, you know, in a state like this that always has traditionally gone republican. Reporter analysts predict donald trump will still win texas by six or seven points but thats nowhere close to romneys sweep of 16 points 4 years ago. Bret . Casey steagall in texas tonight. Like donald trump, Hillary Clinton is also in florida to y today, she does not need that state to win but knows trump does and shes going for the bloc there. Fox news correspondent Jennifer Griffin is in Coconut Creek where clinton held a rally earlier this afternoon. Reporter in an ongoing effort to reach hispanics who make up 27 of all florida voters, tim kaine laid the groundwork for Hillary Clintons return to the sunshine state. I feel good, but boy, im not taking anything for granted. Reporter early voting began monday in florida, and already latino voters are turning out in unprecedented numbers. 133,000 of them cast ballots,99 increase from the same point in 2012. Absentee ballot requests up 30 among africanamerican voters compared to this point in 2012, but the campaigns efforts to turn out minority communities may be compromised by embarrassing wikileak emails that show how it used quotas to structure the campaign in its early days. One from february 2015 between her former chief of staff, cheryl mills, and chairman john podes podesta, Shows Campaign manager robby mooks desire for, quote, a hispanic woman as political director. Poc, two black, one asian, one hispanic, four women, six white men, 33 didiverse, 33 women, white men. Another email showed the campaigns concern when officials noted stories of, quote, huge discrepepy ppisies pay between the sexes at Clinton Foundation and noticed it wouldnt be surprising if the press, quote, went here next.
