trump and then there's the people around donald trump. and they may want him to say this or do this or stem this tide or whatever. but he's been going to do whatever he's going to do. >> right. i mean, donald trump is his own person. and he speaks for himself. i think it's interesting, though, we continue to talk about, you know, john kasich and scott walker, two people that to the end still did not want to support donald trump, because john kasich was running for president. i don't think it's any surprise they're going to come out and continue to say this. so i think donald trump over the next several months is going to explain why he's better than hillary clinton. what i think is interesting is that for hillary clinton and her supporters, it's not so much -- that she needs -- she has three categories of supporters that she has to reach out to. one is the folks from sanders that are going to automatically go with the democrats. the second is the folks that just want to stay home. she needs to get those folks to get out and vote. and the

he will vote for donald trump. ryan says the two still have differences but says he's convinced trump can advance the republican agenda. i'll speak with a republican congressman darrell issa. he's standing by live and our correspondents, analysts and guests will have full coverage of the day's top stories. let's begin with hillary clinton's stunning attack on donald trump. joe johns puts it all together for us. joe, hillary clinton was unrelenting. can this kind of attack pay off? >> she is hoping that it will. it went far beyond ripping into the central premise of the trump campaign, challenging the idea that the u.s. is in decline and it may be remembered especially for the effort to paint a picture with words of what donald trump in the oval office might look like, especially to democrats. >> making donald trump our commander in chief would be an historic mistake. >> reporter: tonight, hillary clinton unleashing a blistering attack on donald trump's foreign policy position. >> donald trump's ideas aren't just di

all of this is on donald trump. he can change the game if he does the things that we are lining out here. and if he starts assuring conservatives how he is going to break us together versus dividing us apart. if it is a choice between donald trump and hillary clinton, and people say, at least he is better than hillary clinton, that is not the bar we are looking for. >> exactly. -- i haveke to say heard for too many years as a conservative in the republican party that they have no choice. conservatives take the back seat. voteare you going to do, for the democrat? i heard that from mitch mcconnell a couple of weeks ago but we do have a choice. we have a choice going into the convention. and i'm hearing a lot about how we want to donald trump to tell us ahead of the convention who was going where so that most people can control on trump. i don't want a republican president who needs to be controlled. i want a republican president to have the clear, articulate vision for the future and has a team who can put together t

and some of them for donald trump and some of them against donald trump. we're going to continue to monitor that for you. but i want to go to the man who has been following this campaign, jim acosta, and bring him in, so jim, you were at the rally inside. there were probably, no doubt, way more people inside of this rally tonight in support of trump. let's get to the meat of the issue. the wall street journal, he doubled down on his criticism of the judge in the trump university case. he said u.s. district judge gonzalo curiel had an absolute conflict in presiding over the litigation given that he was of mexican heritage. he said it was relevance because of his campaign stance against illegal immigration and pledge to build a wall. i am building a wall, it is an inherent conflict of interest. that's what mr. trump said. go on, did he discuss what he said in this piece at this rally? >> reporter: he did not, don, although he has been tweeting about the case all day long, earlier today he tweeted that it was his plan to reopen trump university after this cas

trump thing, early donald trump e endorser. today that guy got the making fun of you equivalent of a moment in the sun at president obama's commencement address at the u.s. air force academy. >> we need smart, steady, principled american leadership. and part of leading wisely is seeing threats clearly. remember ebola? that was a serious threat and we took it seriously. but in the midst of it, there was hysteria. flights must be banned! quarantine citizens! these were actual quotes. seal the border! and my favorite. remove obama! or millions of americans die! that's an actual quote. the thing is, when we panic, we don't make good decisions. >> president obama speaking at the air force academy today in colorado. when he said, remove obama or millions of americans die! he was quoting "the power of relentless" guy, wayne allyn root. in addition to "the power of relentless," in addition to claiming president obama didn't go to columbia, he said during the ebola crisis that if president obama wasn't somehow forcibly removed from offi

i think donald trump is going to regret having said that. >> interesting, too, donald trump had already raised eyebrows days ago when he said the judge is mexican. you would think in any campaign or traditional campaign there would be people around the candidate who would say you know what, you said this thing, called him mexican, he is not mexican, he is american just as many anchors on air said to trump surrogates he is mexican american, maybe talk to the candidate and the candidate might have thought about it and tailored their remarks. donald trump clearly does not do that or does not have people around him who are highlighting some of these things. >> he says what he thinks. sometimes he goes too far. i wish he would revise that statement, it would make more sense if advised it. many see it as the cost of change. >> i guess as a candidate is one thing, as president of the united states do you want somebody, just throwing this out, in the oval office who just says what they think, goes with their gut in the moment and doesn't really perhaps think too much about what they're saying.

it is who donald trump is. and so if you buy into donald trump, you're also buying into his views about how women should look and act, and that's going to be a huge problem for him going forward. because it is who he is. >> what does this mean for the female vote? by the way, if he lags like he is now, he's not going to win the white house. he's got to turn it around. you have to assume a lot of people who hear this are not offended. >> i don't mind being the fifth wheel of this organization. it is an amazing argument. >> you were hoping i would not come back to you. >> i just wanted my dinner. that's all i'm asking for. no. here's what's confusing to me with donald trump. he makes statements like this that are outrageous. they are. it's an outrageous statement to make, okay? but at the same time, kayely's point, he empowers his daughter. it's a bit of confusion that i can't wrap my brain around. the empowerment of women within his own company but yet goes out and says these outrage statements. i can't reccen i

donald trump is in the u.k. as britain votes for leave the european union and pressed on his role in supporting brexit the. >> it is today's vote an indicator for you that your rhetoric is --. >> i don't know, i don't think i have extreme rhetoric, actually. >> are the media mock his golf court press conferences? and a democratic sit in over gun control causes pandemonium in the house and generate as wave of coverage. >> we have to occupy the floor of the house of representatives to their satisfaction. >> the business of the house of representatives to conduct in a fashion representing the respect. [ inaudible ] and the decork of this institution... >> so partisan, do they usually get bad press? i am howard kurtz and this is "media buzz" today. a week that started with donald trump dumping his fiercely loyal campaign manager, corey lewandowski. then the filing that he raised over $3 million compared to $26 million for hillary clinton. he had over $1 million in the bank and she had $40 million. and two nominees i

donald trump is not a racist. when no one was looking, donald trump was running his company, he was hiring african-americans, hispanic-americans, women, at the highest places in his company. when no one was looking, donald trump was never a racist. >> that's smoke and mirrors from the real issue. >> yes, it is. >> that's how he feeds his family. >> when no one was looking he was hiring polish workers as illegal immigrants to, you know -- >> so you're agreeing that he's not a racist? >> we're back to the ole days of some of my best friends -- >> put his money where his mouth is. >> the question is were the remarks racist remarks. did he make racist remarks? >> no. there was not racism in his heart when he said it. he's questioning -- >> absolutely racist. >> there's bias in a legal matter where there's all kinds of crazy stuff. the plaintiffs in the matter -- >> let's just settle down. let's calm down. my question is, you raised valid legal points about this, and that's some of the stuff donald trump talked about,

and say, dear donald donald trump. the future of the republican party and the conservative movement lies in the hands of the hispanic-american electorate. the very electorate you are alienating every single day more and more. for the love of abraham lincoln, ronald reagan and jack kemp, please stop immediately. that conversation needs to take place sooner than later. >> but reverend rodriguez, when you look at how donald trump is doing among hispanics, among blacks, pulling at 4%. okay? among hispanics, a recent poll, 18%. quinnipiac poll. a fox news poll, 23%. mitt romney did, what, 27, 28% -- >> 27. >> george w. bush, the last one to win the white house, 44. significantly better. but donald trump, with everything he said about hispanics, isn't doing that much worse than mitt romney. that's a pretty incredible statement, isn't it? >> yeah, it does. but it speaks likewise to the great amount of angst and consternation latinos have regarding the policies coming from the other side. so there are issues. there are great i

>> well, i think the motto is let donald trump be donald trump. there are certainly going to be occasions i'm certain we'll see others that he uses a tell pyromet pyromet teleprompt teleprompter. will he do it all the time as barack obama does? >> it is not the teleprompter, really, jeffrey. will he take a more moderate tone or will he continue to sort of freelance and say sometimes inflammatory things. before you answer -- >> alisyn, i would quivel, gerald ford had a moderate tone, and lost the presidency. i don't think in this particular election cycle, that's what people are looking for. they are pretty upset out there. and they want somebody who gives voice to that frustration and anger. >> yeah, and you're certainly right, jeffrey, that's what has earned him the nomination. but let me tell you that there are also republicans who are upset obviously with what he had said about the judge's mexican ancestry. let me put up a full screen of people who have actually spoken out publicly against it. these are republicans. i don't have time to go thro

do you think it's good for donald trump, still good for donald trump? >> i think what you have in brexit is 17 plus million people who said we've had enough and the political elites both in europe and here in the united states have taken people for granted. they haven't listened to what those concerns have been and that has been what has fueled the rise of donald trump through the primary season and i think that is what has -- >> do you still think it's good for donald trump is the question. >> what i think is, these people have a legitimate gripe the way their government is being run and that they don't have control and that they need someone to stand up for them. that's what they want in europe, that's what they want here. i think that's what they'll get with drup tronald trump. >> you think it's good for donald trump? >> i do think it is. >> okay. in november, what if the uk is in turmoil? do you think that's a good case for clinton or still good for donald trump? >> here's the difference. hillary clinton who's supposed to have these amazing foreign

here's the deal with donald trump. tea go back to what barack obama said when he was asked about having to face him in the general election. barack obama said we're happy we're facing him. that's actually not true. if you talked to the democrats involved in the process, they would have rather dealt with ted cruz because they played by the book. donald trump is a very formidable general election candidate if he's able to stay to script. now, earlier this evening, erin burnett interviewed mitch mcconnell, the senator minority leader. he said over and over again that donald trump would be better off if he stayed to the script and did not go off and say things that are controversial and, quite frankly, you know, anger people because they are so out of the mainstream. so -- we'll see what happens. >> speaking of that, even members of his own party, they don't have a playbook for him as well. they are chastising him and want him to stick to the script. here's what jeff flake told my colleague jake tapper. >> i can tell you,

so the other night they said, ladies and gentlemen, donald trump, here's donald trump -- i had a tremendous, close to 20,000 people and this happens all the time. ladies and gentlemen donald trump is speaking now and he's just finishing up and when everyone leaves they have somebody standing there, the place is empty, it looks like a garbage dump and they'll say donald trump just spoke and then let's all fall asleep. >> donald trump in true fashion going after the media as he often does. but also after going after hillary clinton after her scathing peach on foreign policy today. cnn's jim acosta is with the trump campaign in san jose this evening. never a dull moment when it comes to donald trump. >> he is going after the media and he's not happy about that speech today. >> no, he's not and he opened up a couple new lines of attack on hillary clinton, don, saying that back in 2008 hillary clinton used to hate barack obama, that was how donald trump described it a few moments ago but trump says now hillary says yes, sir to president obama. so making the case that she's going to be continuati

this is the question with donald trump. can he be consistent and level headed enough in his appearances for people to get over that narrative that hillary clinton is starting to chip away with about this hotheaded bombastic aspect of him. it's probably the most unalike candidates in the history of america. 58%. hoff tells that story the best is going to win. charles: i have got to tell you, you talk around television today and yesterday, the benghazi report swept under the rug. the new females swept under the rug. i think with some blocking and tackling you should feel good about hillary clinton. those things that resonate with voters aren't being pounced on by the mainstream media. >> there is an atmosphere of change. she lost in '08 by making the argument she was more experienced than barack obama. the disadvantage for donald trump is demographics, data analytics. surrogates. building the rude i ams of what will -- building the rude rudi. charles: how nuances does that have to be? >> it is nuanced. what's happening now is

donald trump has no such fear. pathological liars do not fear getting caught lying, they are incapable of telling the truth. they are, of course, outraged, i mean, outraged when you don't believe them. the truth is, that donald trump's press conference today, his personal failure to donate a million dollars, that he already said he contributed on january 28th, that press conference did not actually reveal the truth about any of that donald trump provided no proof at all he provided a list of groups that he said received contributions, proof would be showing us cashed checks which he did not do. he did find time to say this about the man who has been trying to find a republican to mount a third party challenge to donald trump. >> bill crystal is a loser. his magazine is failing, as you chb. i don't think it even survives. he is trying to drive you nuts, if they do in indy, assuming it is decent. i don't think anybody with a reputation would do it. they would look like fools, what are you going to do, you lose the el

donald trump condemning them. jon podesta one of the top aides to hillary clinton condemning them as well. if we were hoping for a unifying campaign, this certainly is not it. is there any chance going forward that either one of these candidates when elected president will be able to do anything that changes the sort of divisions that we already witnessed not just in washington but across this country? >> no. i think the divisions are built in. and if hillary clinton becomes president, those angry supporters of donald trump, the core of his supporters who, quite frankly, have at times been violent at his rallies with him egging them on, they're going to be even angrier if a woman named clinton is the president of the united states. that rage will only increase. and if donald trump were to win, it would embolden his supporters and it would embolden his detractors, embolden the people who feel like they have to bodily resist what he is and what he represents in terms of this ethno nationalist candidate. either way w

\[applause] donald trump: so important. we'll uphold the values our founders gave us, which we're not doing now. \[applause] donald trump: we will work together to rebuild and restore and lift up everyone, not a certain group, everyone, the whole country we're going to lift up. \[applause] donald trump: we will make america great again for all americans, and we'll do it together. i want to thank you. this has been a great honor. amazing friendships i have in this room. thank you all very much. appreciate it. thank you. thank you very much. thank you. thank you. thank you, everybody. [applause] thank you very much. \[cheers and applause] >> on friday, democratic presidential candidate hillary clinton acknowledged the recent endorsement she received from president obama, vice president, and senator elizabeth warren while speaking at a planned parenthood action fund event in washington, d.c.. the former secretary of state spoke about women's health care issues and how her views different and that of the republican presidential

it was just donald trump. i think what hillary clinton is going to try to communicate is that her campaign is going to be about us, whereas donald trump, she believes, will focus on communicating and his own agenda, his own goals, and moving that forward. >> by the way. he even held his event last night at one of his golf clubs. he's got an unfinished office space in his building, only a few staffers. it's a small backdrop there at one of his golf clubs, versus hillary clinton having thousands of people at a venue in brooklyn. >> to be fair, hillary clinton doesn't own a golf club. >> that's true. he was promoting some of his own brand. >> let's listen to something he said that struck me about how, hey, he's a peace-loving guy, but he will fight when he needs to. listen to what he said. >> now, i know some people say i'm too much of a fighter. my preference is always peace, however. and i've shown that. i've shown that for a long time. i built an extraordinary business on relationships and deals that benefit a

this is different for donald trump. this was a different donald trump than we are used to seeing trying to send a message to republicans that he has changed from the strategy that led him to get into the controversy with the judge. i wuant to bring in president o correct the record. michael steele former chairman of rnc. is that how you interpreted what donald trump was trying to do? he has everybody telling him i can't believe you have done this with the judge. he is not going to say i'm sorry but will try to deliver a different kind of performance than we have been seeing? >> i think that is it. the problem is consistency. and the apology that would help, too. i think that there are some things in life you realize you just have to say i'm sorry. i think for donald trump you can go out and give the speech and put the teleprompters but i think this was that bridge that went too far for a lot of voters. and so figuring how he can make amends is going to be important. it is not just about the speech and showing you can do

donald trump himself is a fraud. i have to tell you, i think that donald trump has disqualified himself, completely. >> with 160 days left, joining us in the last word war room tonight, jeffrey pol ok, and a polster for hillary clinton, priors usa. and what do you make of this advice? it is fascinating to be in the war rooms, where they are looking at these astro nomically high negatives, is it possible that you can't drive donald trump's negatives any higher. >> you have to be able to walk and chew gum at the same time. you have to have a two-prong approach. both negatives are high. donald trump is a ruthless business man who will take you down by any means possible. hillary clinton, how does he do this? you need to beef up your surrogates. okay, beef up who is out there talking for us. figure out who is out there, who can take off the gloves, take it to the streets, and play the game donald trump are playing, no rules in this game. that is the key here. elizabeth warren gets under his skin, shakes him down. the oth

when donald trump talked about the foreign telecom company facing sanctions, donald trump gets a phone call. $750,000 speech, and all of a sudden the same group no longer facing sanctions. that's something people read between the lines and say that doesn't smell right. that the position of power hillary clinton held was up for sale. >> you can't explain that away. this was the day when the i.t. director for secretary clinton pled the fifth 125 times in a 90-minute session. a record, though it will probably be a record that will be broken from other aides of hillary moving forward. the bottom line in this election. we'll see things go back and forth. it still comes down to the same thing and danielle probably doesn't want to hear this. this is a referendum on the system, and the system is broken and rigged. it's not an intellectual idea, it's an emotional idea. charles: 's obvious hillary clinton counter punched on this. i guess she wants to focus again -- she found her voice. the idea trying to ignore these charges, she won't face them head on, will she in. >> she has been dealing with

trump but he's not endorsing donald trump. he said there's a big difference because he don't endorse everything that donald trump says but at the end of the day to vote for him so sort of a response and shows the level of consternation on capitol hill right now for donald trump. >> makes you wonder what happens in two to three weeks if the ship isn't righted on the short list apparently for vp. the's that. you have senator graham who, you know, vociferous in the opinions and now on the trump train and now saying what? >> reporter: now criticizing very strong terms donald trump's latest comments about judge curiel. he told me just now earlier that those comments were un-american. he said that trump's playing the race card, they were racist. something that a lot of republicans not willing to say. and he said that this is almost like mccarthy style of campaigning and politics and something you don't hear senators say from presumptive nominee. he's not on the trump train quiet and not everybody online with graham and hi said that

there is a question can donald trump capitalize on them. >> i think donald trump himself has inconsistencies when it comes to the iraq war and libya. he supported the iraq war initially only to later say he opposed it once the invasion was well under way. he was previously for the intervention in libya and now he's saying he's opposed. the important thing is what hillary clinton did yesterday is do what donald trump has done effectively and aump a simple, blunt and straightforward message that is accessible to the american people. she pared down the many reasons why she believes donald trump is unqualified to be commander in chief and tried to unpack the contradictions in his candidacy. i think that's more effective than trying to react to every single thing that he says on a day-to-day basis where it's harder for those attacks to stick because any given day you might be reacting to six to ten outrageous statements that come out of trump's mouth. so there are about five months to go but you could expect to see more high-profile speeches where she really tries to take on not just donald trump

donald trump is that leader. donald trump would give our military the national security agency the tools and resources they need to protect our citizens. lou: joining us tonight co-chairman of a great america pac eric beach a very powerful ad and to have paid the there is your spokesman, that's. powerful and another self, former navy s.e.a.l.. >> there's no greater spokesperson than carl being in iraq twice and for my standpoint there's no greater discrepancy between donald trump and hillary clinton and their positions on isis and their positions on national security. lou: what he reseen the polls? we are seeing a slight narrowing but still a significant lead for hillary clinton. what are we going to see in the days and weeks? >> look comedy threads and flows prayed when she became a nominee which took her a little bit longer than expected she honestly had a bump in the polls. when donald trump was a nominee he got a bump in the polls. lou: what i meant was we are going to see a change in these polls. i just don'

he said that hillary clinton still would be better than donald trump -- sorry, donald trump would be better than hillary clinton, but that's one of the things that we're going to keep looking for if he's willing to walk away from that endorsement, guys. >> manu raju, fascinating to see paul ryan up there. let's talk about this more now with congressman lee zelden who has endorsed donald trump for president. congressman, thanks so much for being with us. speaker of the house paul ryan, you know, the senior elected official of your party right now, says that donald trump made a comment that is the textbook definition of a racist comment. do you agree? >> the way i subjectively define racism, i agree as well. i think that mr. trump made a regrettable mistake with his statement. i believe that it's a regrettable legal strategy. he's trying to win a case, and that strategy at this point has led to that particular calculation that has been made to go after the judge's heritage. i think we shouldn't be going after ethnicity and race with a judge to asunl thsume that they unqualified to serv

this is literally the only person who's ever been donald trump's campaign manager and donald trump for most of the time corey lewandowski was his campaign manager enjoyed a lot of success. early on, i remember corey lewandowski calling me up and saying when he first started the job, hey, take us seriously, could you meet with us. this was an operation people didn't take seriously. donald trump developed that loyally to corey lewandowski over time because following his guidance he got success. the biggest impact here is twofold. one as hallie jackson just said, paul manafort has a chance to appraise the current staff and bring in new people. part of the challenge bringing in new people before is manafort and lewandowski had turf issues. the second is the ecosystem of the plane. corey lewandowski went on almost every trip donald trump took as a candidate and controlled a lot of what trump said and did, how he reacted to things. trump himself controlled it more than lewandowski to be sure but now there is room on the plane, which is where a lot of the trump campaign takes place, to influe

third, there is donald trump's tax plan. you know, when i was working on this speech, i had the same experience i had when i was working on the speech i gave about foreign policy and national security. i would have my researchers and my speechwriters certain me information. and then i'd say, really? [laughter] he really said that? and they'd send me all the background or the video clip. so, here goes. [laughter] ed give millionaires a $3 trillion tax cut. corporations would get 2 trillion more dollars. that means he is giving more away to the 120,000 richest american families, than he would to help 120 million hard-working americans. even in this era of rising inequality, this is like nothing we've ever seen. now you and i know that the wealthiest americans and the biggest corporations don't need trillions of dollars in tax cuts. they need to be paying their fair share. and now before releasing his plan, trump said hedge fund guys are getting away with murder. and he added they will pay more. then his plan came out and it ac

except donald trump. with donald trump, the truth is harder to find, his public professions of religion are the most hollow we have ever heard. every other candidate we heard from is truly religious, or knows how to sound religious. today, donald trump met with the religious rite, he told them lies, and they applauded. he talked about freeing up your thoughts, you talk about religious freedom, you don't have any religious freedom. if you think about it. donald trump told religious leaders in the country with more religious freedom than any in the world, quote, you don't have any religious freedom. he tried to suggest that hillary clinton doesn't have any religion. >> hillary in terms of religion. he has been in the public eye for years and years, yet, there is nothing out there. there is like nothing out there. >> michael ferris attended the first meeting of the moral majority in february, 1980. he has been active in the christian rite ever since. he has not been invited to today's meeting, he is not supp

according to what he is saying, clinton will focus extensively on donald trump and what donald trump has said about foreign policy, and let me give you a quote here. he says clinton will rebuke a litany of dangerous policies that trump has espoused ranging from nuclear proliferation to endorsing war crimes, from denouncing nato to banning muslims from the united states. that's just part of it. sullivan also saying what you will hear in clinton's speech is a confidence in america. he says a confidence that you're not hearing from trump going forward, and saying that clinton will talk about the country's capacity to, quote, overcome challenges. he says a stark contrast to what trump has been doing and he called what trump has been saying, quote, incessant trash talking of america. so this is what will we're expecting to hear from clinton when she takes the stage in san diego. >> you know, it's interesting, jason, because overnight trump said he got a copy of hillary clinton's speech which, frankly, i doubt. however -- >> what? >> he was sort of rebutting the speech already. what did he

donald trump just $2 million. of course, we know donald trump's wealthy. he's been funding his campaign to date, but there is a question of how much money he's really going to go and spend on his own going forward. >> mark, when it comes to polling as the picture is clear about the general election match-up, when are we going to have some of the first numbers about how people feel about hillary clinton up against donald trump? >> thomas, that's a great question. so the most recent round of national polls came out just after donald trump had clenched becoming the republican presidential nominee and showed him gaining ground on hillary clinton. now we're about to come to that apples to apples comparison pretty soon where we're going to see what the polling looks like now that hillary clinton's the democratic presumptive nominee and see if bernie sanders gets on board. thomas, i mentioned the advantages hillary clinton has, there is one advantage for donald trump and it's a big one. a majority of american voters in our nbc/wall street journal poll said they w

not talking about donald trump. when confronted with his comments, they're not reacting to it unless they are forced to. if you are a democrat running against that vulnerable republican senator, what are you doing? you're coming out and talking about it as much as you possibly can, because you smell blood in the water. so it's a dynamic that's unfolding and you're seeing it all over. >> hallie, you were on capitol hill all week, trying to nail down each one of those senators to find out what they thought about donald trump's recent statements. mitch mcconnell stood in front of that room, that press conference and said, i'm not going to talk about donald trump. that is a remarkable turn of events. >> it's also striking what paul ryan said to chuck todd, who will be on "meet the press" on sunday. he said essentially, lawmakers should follow their conscience. he's clearly trying to give the down ballot races some cover. even as he says he's still supports donald trump. not risking his endorsement. >> what do you think

donald trump. yes, he can do it again. >> not the donald trump we saw the last couple months. >> he hasn't used the teleprompter and the teleprompter allows you to deliver your agenda and plans in an organized manner that your supporters are looking at. >> no attack on sus and a martinez, it is a direct message. do you feel he will stay on message. >> he will stay on message. this is a very thoughtful speech, well thought out, well delivered. this is donald trump. very presidential, i have to tell you. i was very impressed. always impressed. yes, he can speak with passion from the heart. this is a speech he needed to give. a lot of people on the fence have their eyes wide open tonight. he was on the mark all around, even his attacks were done in a proper manner. he was great today, i was very happy to see it, very proud. >> christine, jumping out of your seat. >> first of all. >> shocking. >> i know. the third or fourth time on the show we talked about is this the new donald trump. >> true story. >

donald trump settled it yesterday. he's making a conscience decision to move his campaign less from the let trump be trump mind set into this idea that i need the structure. i need the organization. i need to be more of a presidential candidate. that will now be the rest of this campaign. if he's successful and the numbers begin to settle, which they well could, you'll hear and see something different. it starts and ends with donald trump. he started that decision yesterday. let cea let's see how it plays out. >> thanks for the time. >>> coming up, hillary clinton going on the offensive against donald trump. she's calling him the king king of debt. can she cripple trump before and after he regains his footing or can he with stand the criticism and the path to victory? >>> brand new numbers from the biggest battleground states showing how tight the race is. trump needing to turn blue states red if he wants any chance of winning. there's a couple of surprises there. plus, this tuesday evening the hardball round table is

donald trump went further. you're saying he's trying to move away from being a religious test, to broaden it and say should be focused on terrorist ties. however, in some sense, he's basically adding to the muslim ban. he has not actually taken that off the table. he is gone further. it is going to be a bigger target for democrats. it will be a bigger target for republicans who are worried about him. i don't think he did a lot, even with the teleprompter, to ease that their concerns. he said a bunch of things that were not true. suggesting that the shooter was afghani, as opposed to being born in the united states. suggesting -- casting a very broad net over the entire muslim american community, saying they all know when they're bad people in their midst, and they are basically bad for failing to turn those people in. i thought donald trump gave people what he has given them. he will be consistent. that is the bigger, tougher approach. but i don't think he did a lot today in that speech -- and we could talk abo

what donald trump and hillary clinton are telling you. they are also telling voters here, it's one of the reasons that hillary clinton is going so hard after donald trump, to persuade all of the democrats who may still not be on board but it's time right now to get on her side. hillary clinton's going back at donald trump today for another round. >> he doesn't really have ideas. he just engages in rants and personal feuds and outright lies. something that our country cannot afford in a commander in chief. >> reporter: a day after a eviscerating trump in the toughest speech of her campaign, trump is taking aim at her character. >> lying, crooked hillary. i love to say that. because she's a liar. she made up my foreign policies. >> reporter: the insults are flying back and forth at a dizzying pace. with violent protests erupting outside again at a trump rally last night in san jose. from her e-mails -- >> she has to go to jail. she's guilty as hell. >> reporter: to his temperament. >> he is temperamentally unfit to hold an office that requi

she did criticize donald trump. it was a political speech. >> today, an extremely well-craft and well-delivered broad side -- >> i agree with that descript n description. i agree with the speech. the speech did attack donald trump in a way that he earned the attack. i don't think it was a substantive foreign policy speech that i was lead to believe that secretary clinton would be giving. it was a broad side attack of donald trump. i think he invited the attack. it was a political attack. >> also said about this speech, it was a coherrent internationalist -- >> it was a political speech. in an effective way. hillary clinton had a big lift in this speech. not to make it sound too padantic and in a policy sense. her strength going forward is that she is experienced. she has been secretary of state. she has been there. i think the difficulty for her is not to get bogged down in the details of foreign policy. what surprised me about the speech was the political tone and the zingers in it. it had lines like a comedy roast

i don't really know. >> donald trump is gearing up for cleveland. so is the donald truump trump m. it's trying to build its infrastructure for a potential floor fight. they are building a command center outd the convention and hoping they can somehow change the rules. "the new york times" reports that trump and the rnc have teamed up in an attempt to discredit republicans advocating and interpretation of party rules that allow delegates to vote for anyone they want on the first ballot. okay. but a growing number of prominent republicans fromg paul ryan to scott walker have said delegates should follow their conscience. senator john mccain told the weekly standard, it's up to every delegate to make up their own minds adding, i do not tell them what to do. i never have. outside of just a handful in congress, most republican elected officials must walk a fine line in their dissent. our poll shows while a majority of republicans would rather have someone else as their nominee, their efforts to ditch trump still face the same question from the primar. if not trump, who? well, steve lone

but not donald trump. boldly stated that he is going to win this case and should he win the case and win the presidency, trump university will be back in business again. new york's attorney general eric sneiderman his contention n all of this who is handling litigation this is straight up, no popes fraud. and said on a cable network morning show today that donald trump had approached his office to try to settle this before the complaint was actually filed. well, that drew a sharp response from donald trump's campaign today when i inquired about it saying no, wait a minute. it was eric sneiderman who first approached the trump folks with an offer of a settlement. settlement demands that they say they could not accept. they went on to say for sneiderman who go on a network morning show when he is so involved in litigation to talk about it is both unprofessional and unethical. and they think it's something that he absolutely should not be doing. but it just goes to show, greta, that it's really like trump alw

donald trump is destroying that vision. he'll set the republican party back more than 1 is 00 years and could destroy the tf brand. as one kwf, i'm not going to let that happen. >> republican steve lonegan, always good to talk to you. >> thank you very much, alex. >> when donald trump talks, at least two republicans walk. more on something tooef just mentioned. that's next. ♪ using 60,000 points from my chase ink card i bought all the framework... wire... and plants needed to give my shop... a face... no one will forget. see what the power of points can do for your business. learn more at chase.com/ink see what the power of points can do for your business. and i quit smoking with chantix. i always came back to smoking. i was absolutely frustrated, absolutely. i did not think chantix would work as well as it did. along with support, chantix (varenicline) is proven to help people quit smoking. chantix reduced my urge to smoke. some people had changes in behavior, thinking or mood, hostility, agitation, depressed mood and su

what kind of man is donald trump? donald trump says judge curiel should be ashamed of himself. no, donald, you should be ashamed of yourself. ashamed. [ cheers and applause ] ashamed for using the megaphone of a presidential campaign to attack a judge's character and integrity simply because you think you have some god-given right to steal people's money and get away with it. you shame yourself and you shame this great country. [ cheers and applause ] donald trump says they ought to look into him because what judge curiel is doing is what a total disgrace. no, what you are doing is a total disgrace. race baiting a judge who spent years defending america from the terror of murders and drug traffickers simply because long ago his family came to america from somewhere else. you, donald trump, are a total disgrace. [ cheers and applause ] judge curiel is one of countless american patriots who has spent decades quietly serving his country. sometimes at great risk to his own life. donald trump is a loud, nasty, thin-skinned fraud who has never risked anything for anyone and who serve

do you support donald trump on that? >> i don't continuing he is say he would never let someone get off the list in they were wrongly put on that. what attorney general loretta lynch said is close to where i am comfortable being, you have a delay, you have a chance for the justice department to prove this person should not be able to execute a constitutional right and you should not have to reveal teach of your internal data that could compromising to our intelligence sources. something like that could be worked." donald trump is trying to be a positive force. >> how leaders react after a tragedy like orlando massacre, gives people an insight into what kind of 50 leader or potential presidential they would be. i want to ask you about things that donald trump has done in the last week. first, his comments the day after the tragedy that seemed to imply that president obama is somehow sympathetic to the terrorists. here he is. >> he doesn't get it or he gets it better than anyone understands but either is acceptable. we are

trump and donald trump saying folks with a concealed carry permit with a gun on their ankle or waist would have thwarted efforts of omar mateen. but the shooting continues to s tos to spark this major debate on the campaign and on capitol hill there's a filibuster by democrats pushing for action on guns in the wake of the nation's deadliest mass shooting. right there is senator dick durbin talking about why democrats feel so strongly about moving forward with some type of gun reform. chris murphy has also been speak speaking out on this represent representing the state of connecticut which saw its own tragedy in sandy hook and lead leading this with senator blue men hall -- blue menmenthal and senator booker and they walked out of the house previously. luke russert reporting on this. why democrats feel they have the leverage necessary to move forward an any type of gun measure measures, right now different than no-fly no buy bill. what's the st.atus? >> reporter: they're belief because of the events in orlando the biggest event on u.s. soil since 9/11 counting in the terms of the num

is donald trump responding to that at all? >> reporter: we have not heard him respond directly to what president obama said, but i think that there's little chance that what the president does say will change donald trump's tone. i mean we've heard from advisors, we've heard from establishment republicans who to support trump just if you could change the tone a little bit, they might be able to get on board. i think you saw in that very contentious press conference yesterday, trump saying he doesn't plan to change anything if he's elected president. that's what it'll be like when he's in the white house and he's not afraid of it, but i think don, also seeing him getting used to the scrutiny that comes along with running for president. and he's entirely comfortable with it. >> there's been talk about the lawsuit against donald trump alleging fraud, former employees calling the program a scam. what has he been saying about that today? is he talking about it? >> reporter: well the campaign released testimonials from students that

and donald trump even acknowledges it. he says, look, if it's been so bad for me the last three weeks and i'm only down five points in the cnn poll nationally right now, i'm tied in ohio and pennsylvania, then things aren't that bad. i mean, if this is as bad as it's going to get, i can turn things around. >> things are pretty bad for him. i mean, i think this could possibly be the single worst transition from a winning primary campaign to a general election campaign in modern history. >> why isn't it worse in the polls? >> for hillary? >> for donald trump. >> i think only if hillary clinton were to be asked why are you not winning by more? i think she's winning in that poll nationally. she's winning in florida and frankly all she has to do is win florida to win the presidency, and as you mentioned today she's going to give this economic speech where she is going to contrast between her and donald trump, and she's going to go after donald trump using the same technique she used in san diego on her foreign policy speech. sh

donald trump said mexican. donald trump was latching on mexican. he's not mexican. he's american. he's an american citizen. >> of course he's american. >> donald trump doesn't say that. >> what i am trying to say to you is is that we have so divided this country -- >> i get you're saying that but that's not what donald trump is saying. donald trump doesn't even know that. >> in jeffry's defense this is a difficult job. almost no one has -- >> he's very skilled, but sometimes you just have to say the guy was wrong. the guy was wrong. >> it is not wrong to call out racism. >> we all agree on that. >> good. >> we all agree on that is. >> one at a time. >> can you explain to me when you say that donald trump backed into -- this is through the looking glass for me because i really don't understand it, when you say that donald trump backed into this. >> right. >> what do you mean? >> bwhat i'm saying is he approached this through the lens of the trump university say and he's come face to face with a judge he believes is racist against him. what i'm saying to you is that the larger issue
