Transcripts For CNNW CNN Newsroom With Carol Costello 20160822

Costello. Thank you for joining me. This morning, donald trump is dealing with yet another set of questions about his campaign, but this time, president ial pivots or temperament, instead, it is about policy. Specifically, his stance on immigration. After a weekend meeting with hispanic advisors, some may think he is softening his positions. But his new Campaign Manager says not so fast. Good morning. Reporter good morning, carol. This would potentially be a big reversal, and this has already put trump on the defensive on exactly what his policy on immigration really is. Just this morning, he insisted in an interview that no, he believes his stance on immigration is not changing. Here is what he said a few minutes ago. Were dealing with people, we have to be very firm. We have to be very, very strong when people come in illegally. We have a lot of people that want to come in through the legal process. It not fair for them. Were working with a lot of people in the Hispanic Community to try and come up with an answer. So youre not flip flopping. No, im not flip flopping. We want to come up with a fair but firm answer. It has to be firm. We want to come up with something fair. So trump there, really pushing back on all of this. His hard line stance on immigration, it is one of the define core issues of his campaign. Donald Trumps Campaign, signal a possible softening of his controversial position on the forced deportation of 11 million undocumented immigrants. They will go out. They will come back. Some will come back. The best through a process. They have to come back legally. Trumps hard line stance, a significant issue since the beginning. Now his new Campaign Manager, i canting that indicating that is not set in stone. Let me play something to what he said back in november. Were going to have a Deportation Force and going to do it humanly. Are they going to get ripped out of their home as soon as. Theyre going back from where they came. Theyre going to be brought back to their country. Will that olympian include a Deportation Force, the kind that he just, you just heard in that sound bite and that he talked about during the republican primaries . To be determined. Trump surrogate, Jeff Sessions saying trump is wrestling with the issue after meeting with hispanic advisors, ahead of a big policy speech later this week. He listened to a lot of people. I dont think he made any commitments. He is thinking it through. Thats the right thing. This potential shift, coming as trump attempts to broaden his appeal among africanamerican voters. Ive asked the Africanamerican Community to honor me with their vote. Youre living in poverty, your schools are no good. You have no jobs. 58 of your youth is unemployed. What the hell do you have to lose . Polls show his campaign way behind with his key voting block. Following a string of controversial comments about minorities. Theyre bringing drugs. Theyre bringing crime. Theyre rapists. Look at my africanamerican over here. This judge is of mexican heritage. Im building a wall. Now his muted style, reservesed for policy, not for his opponent, Hillary Clinton. She will never be able to fix the isis problem that her policies created. For one thing, she doesnt have the strength or the stamina. All this, as trump and his surrogating continue to raise unsubstantiated questions about Hillary Clintons health. Go online and put down Hillary Clinton illness, take a look at the videos for yourself. And again, those claims about clintons health are unsubstantiat unsubstantiated. The Campaign Says she is in Excellent Health and call it deranged conspiracy theories. All right, reporting live for us this morning. So will trump build a wall and deport 11 undocumented immigrants or not. More importantly for him, will a flip flop make hispanics more open to trump. Lets talk. Las vegas radio commentator and anna navorro. Welcome, both of you. Jesus, you were in that meeting on saturday. Is mr. Trump going to deport undocumented immigrants, or not . Well, we talked about different issues, and obviously immigration was one of those issues that we talked about. It was a private meeting, but i can tell you that mr. Trump is now open for suggestions from latinos. Thats why he opened his doors and invited us. So just along those lines and i just want to expand on that jesus, does he want ideas from this Hispanic Council on how to treat these undocumented immigrants, and might that mean that he is no longer thinking about this deportation team deporting all of them . Well, absolutely. He wants ideas and obviously thats why he invited us. One thing they did, you know, notice and it made me very comfortable, he is observing them, you know, the situation. He is taking notes about what we have to say. And im sure the campaign will consider our advice and they will definitely work on policy, you know. We cant speak for the campaign. Were not part of the campaign, but definitely, we talked about different issues that concern our communities, the latino communities. So ana, you and a lot of other his pan necks apanics are mr. Trump. It shows trump trailing clinton with hispanics about 46 points. So does what jesus is saying make you more open to mr. Trump . No, listen, as far as im concerned, he burnt those bridges a long, long time ago. You dont get to start over two and a half months before an election. Just dont get to erase the things that you have said for over a year. He has called mexicans rapists, has said that they bring crime. He hasnt given one interview to u univision, he has kicked some out of events. He has laser focused, based his campaign on attacking hispanics, i dont hear him ever talk about the positive stories about immigration. He has people like joe arpaio during the Republican Convention and goes on to give one of the longest speech, nomination acceptance history where he focuses on the bad things, that some immigrants that have come here have not done any positive stuff. I will tell you, though, carol, i think it is important to understand that latinos are not one group. Immigration is not the issue that defines latinos and latino support. And you know, i think, look, if mr. Marcus is doing what that group did, trying to meet with him and maybe expand his horizons so that he is not so ignorant about hispanics, great for them. I respect their choice. Now, i will tell you, i will stand with the other 85 of latinos for whom trump is just not an acceptable option, you dont get to beat us like p piniatas and try to make nice. If you allow plme to answer. Go ahead. First of all, it is not 85 who are opposing donald trump. You know, the poll yesterday that shows that donald trump is down in the polls with the latinos, about you you still see clinton leads latinos by 46 points. Thats a lot. But you have also 25 of latinos undecided, and if you look at the polls in 2012, back then with romney, at this point in the campaign, it was probably about the same with donald trump. You know, this likability of Hillary Clinton is very high as well. If you want to talk about latinos being offended, yes, the rhetoric, we talked about that. We talked about how he can say certain things, and he explained he didnt mean some of the things that the way the media is wait one minute. Wait, i want to get into that. He said he didnt mean some of the things he said about hispanics, is that what youre saying, and if you are, what were those things . Well, for example, when we talked about rapists and murders, he specifically, you know, he didnt talk in general, and if thats the way it came out, he, you know, he explained hem sel himself. What did he mean . What did he mean . Unfortunately, we have to secure our borders, because there is also among the many good people that come across, there are also some people that are not for any good, and thats one of the things that we also have to decide did he apologize for generalizing . Well, im not going say he apologized. We worked more on, you know, solutions to the problem. You know, we all agree that we have to secure the border. And the details of the meeting, i cannot explain to you or talk about, but one thing i know, he is opening the doors. He is open to suggestions. And thats something different. Now, you may say, well, it is too late. We have 80plus days for the election. I believe that mrs. Clintons policies have been more offensive for the latinos. If you look at latino neighborhoods, communities, states, cities, you will see the poverty in those towns and cities and communities. That is what offends me more than what donald trump i hear you on that. And ana, ill address that to you. In the same fox news poll, it shows hispanics overwhelmingly support president obama and his policies. So how does jesus, how do we marry that with what he just said . Mr. Barack obama has deported more latinos in the last decades, and on top of that, if you look at his policies, it made latinos, you know, staggering poverty, basically right now, latinos are not better off than seven, eight years ago. Thats a problem that if we can articulate to the public, i believe we can get our numbers up. Would that do it, ana . Look, carol, the healthiest thing for the Hispanic Community, for the Africanamerican Community, for any american is if we would have a competitive process between two strong candidates, two strong parties. That people are we have candidates that are courting our vote, that are earning our support. What we have had for the past year is a donald trump who has done nothing but burn bridges. But offend hispanics, attack a judge who was born in america for the simple fact that he is of mexican heritage. Questioned his ability to do his job. You know, yesterday, i read the story about a couple who went into a restaurant in virginia, and they wrote on the receipt of their waiter, we dont tip anybody who is not a u. S. Citizen. Turns out the waitress was a u. S. Citizen, of hispanic heritage. Yes, but thats the kind of discrimination, bigotry, division that donald trump has stoked and promoted. He hasnt caused t he didnt invest racism, but he has certainly embraced it and made it worst for the last year. No, he does no the get to listen, the only person i know who can reinvent themselves successfully after the age of 50 is madonna. Donald trump is no madonna. Oh, you know, you ive got to leave it there, guys. You cannot pin what you saw or experienced in terms of racist with this waiter with donald trump. Thats ridiculous. Oh, i can very much look into the camera and say i believe donald trump is a racist. You dont get to make textbook racist remarks for a year, and not be a racist. Dont get to make textbook sexist remarks for a year and not be a misogynist. Im glad you guys are having an open conversation with him. I hope he takes your advice. I think i couldnt express myself with nobody like that, but thats your opinion. I respect it. Sure, i respect your opinion, and im i have to leave it there. Ana navorro, jesus marquez, thank you.

Call now former secretary of state, colin powell, is speaking publicly for the first time about Hillary Clintons use of a personal email server and not happy. According to the New York Times, saying it urged her while in office. But powell is hitting back, telling People Magazine, that her people have been pinning it on me. The truth is she was using it for a year before i sent her a memo telling her what i did. When asked why clintons team was attempting to blame him, his response was, this. Why do you think. It doesnt bother me. Its okay. Im free. Theyve reached out to the Clinton Campaign as well as representatives for collin pow bell but havent received a response. This mannos all about this dinner. Thank you, joe, for joining me this morning. Thank you. Tell us about this dinner where supposedly colin powell and mrs. Clinton talked about an email server. So in 2009, and it is true, after she became secretary of state, Madelyn Albright held a dinner party for Hillary Clinton in her home in washington where she invited former secretaries of state to celebrate her appointment. And among them was colin powell. At that dinner, former secretary albright asked the others there to give Hillary Clinton one piece of advice, and Colin Powells advice was to use her email account. He said, and i have an email from his principal, confirming this. He told her, and i quote, he shared his use of his email account with secretary clinton, and told her how useful and transfo transformative it was for the department. I received this message from margaret serifino last june when i was checking this story for my book, and she replied, and she made sure i understood the date of the party, because she checked his calendar for it. So what is i have so i dont what is colin powell talking about, then . Im perplexed if he is saying it didnt happen. I understood him to say he doesnt remember it, and ms. Serifino said he didnt remember every detail of the dinner, but that it was transformative for the department. I think thats pretty straightforward. You know, ive written a piece about this that will be on newsweek site today, responding to this. Is it possible that mr. Powell used a private email server in his home for personal business, and he totally separated from his state Department Business, in a way that mrs. Clinton perhaps did not . Could that be what mr. Powell was talking about . Thats not what the Inspector General report says. Used his aol account for state Department Business as well as his personal business, and it is very clear thats what he did. And by the way, unlike secretary clinton, he did not preserve any of his emails under the as he was supposed to do under the federal records act. She turned over, as you know, 55,000 pages of emails that she had kept. He did not preserve any of them. And which, you know, the Inspector General said was a violation of his responsibility under the federal records act. We dont know what any of his emails said, or very few. So this personal account for state Department Business. No question about that. He has admitted that. I dont think anybody is blaming him. Secretary clinton has known about this conversation for seven years. To my knowledge, she has never spoken about it publicly. The only time that she has talked about it as far as i know is to the fbi in a conversation that i think she expected to be confidential. So you know, the times found out about and they published the story the other day. But i dont think she was trying to use that or my book to put this story out. If secretary clinton, carol, had wanted to use this conversation with general powell to somehow pin it on him as he says, why wouldnt she have gone straight to the New York Times or the Washington Post or cnn to tell them about this years ago. When this first came out. Well, she has mentioned it. It is not like she has never talked about it. She has mentioned no, no, she has never mentioned her conversation with him. It was known. He wrote about it in his own book that he had used personal email. But she has never mentioned her conversation with him publicly that i know of. And this email from his assistant, will that be in your newsweek article today . It is quoted in the article today, thats correct. Joe, i cant wait to read it. Thank you for joining me this morning. I do appreciate it. Of course, mr. Trump wasted no time, he is lashing out on this issue and what colin powell had to say. He just did that on fox and friends last hour. She laid about colin powell, i saw that, he was not happy, and the whole thing is a scam with them. Everything is a scam. Like grifters. Okay, so lets talk about this. With me now is ron bonjean, Hillary Clinton supporter, Bakari Sellers and former Reagan White House political director, jeffrey lord. Welcome to all of you. Bakari, what do you make of this . Well, i make of it, here we go with the emails. I think one of the major problems that i have with this discussion is the fact that these confidential conversations that 302s, investigator notes are being leaked to the New York Times. You have incidenting like this where people can get parts and parcels of a story and spin them one way or another. There was a conversation at a dinner party. We dont know much about that party. Here we go down this rabbit hole of emails, because we dont know the whole story. But it is a confusing story, but you heard joe, right. He was talking about how he has this email detailing this dinner, where colin powell suggested supposedly that Hillary Clinton use a private email server, but colin powell comes out in a People Magazine event and says i never advised her on that. What do you make of that part . Listen, carol, i am not going to sit here and try to condemn or attack general colin powell. I mean, there are a lot of things that Hillary Clinton supporters will do and can do, but one of the things i advise them not to do is attack colin powell. I think without understanding the full scope of this, and i just heard, his name is joe, who wrote the book, i plan on reading that newsweek article. Jeffrey, your thoughts . You know, to pick up on what bakari is saying, as a conservative, i disagree with general powell on a number of things, his endorsement of president obama. That kind of thing. But let it never be said. Colin powell a man of integrity. Absolute, utter integrity. So i have absolutely no reason to think that he is, you know, certainly lying or anything of that nature. And i think that one of the things, the comments you just played from donald trump, indicate, this goes exactly to the reverse sort of problem that Hillary Clinton has. She is repeatedly on all kinds of issues accused of not being accused of not telling the truth. This is when she was first lady. If you remember the famous New York Times columnist, william sapphire wrote a column in 1995 or 96 in which he called her a congenital liar. Here we are with the same kind of problem. Thats the problem and in terms youve president ial campaign issue, thats a big one. Well, ron, im just struggling to understand why colin powell brought this up now. Because there is conflicting information. I dont know what the truth is at this moment. I too many going to read this newsweek article and im in streak intrigued to see this email from his assistant. What do you make of colin powell saying this to People Magazine . Its okay, im free. You know, what he is doing is undermining Hillary Clintons assertions that, you know, she has been that she has been totally transparent with the process of her emails. Look, the fact of the matter is, Hillary Clinton has, you know, is going after her henchmen are going after colin powell and he is reenforcing that politically by saying things like this. I think by going after, by having this narrative at the beginning of the week of an africanamerican general and asserting that she has political henchmen going after him, you know, it falls right into Donald Trumps narrative. When he is going after the africanamerican voter right now. I dont think it is helpful to her campaign. I think that, you know, of course, you know, democratic strategists are going to say here we go again, but here we go again, im wondering whether Hillary Clinton is trustworthy, credible and has political henchmen out there trying to throw generals under the bus. Bakari, your thoughts. Thats absurd. You began to spin yourself into a pretzel when you said all of a sudden she is having henchmen attack a black general. Why would he say that . Why would a general say that about her . Because if she wanted to attack colin powell, sir, she would have done it in public, she would have taken the conversation prior to this. She would have laid the foot of the blame at his feet, which she did not. She had this conversation when bringing up these i mails and the genesis of using the servers and with the fbi. This was not a public conversation. What happened was, we knew what was going to happen, the Republican Congress leaked it to the New York Times. You cant make this false so youre refuting a general, a very respected general secretary of states comments that Hillary Clinton is throwing him under the bus . Yeah, i mean, because Hillary Clinton did not state this in public. Thats what im saying. This a conversation it sounds like youre twisting yourself into a pretzel. That is true, ron. Hillary clinton said this to fbi investigators, and she did not say such a thing publicly. Carol, you know, one of the problems here that Hillary Clinton is going to have throughout the remaining two months plus of this campaign is that she has got so much going on with these emails in term fls there possibly being leaked, judicial watch, whatever, or leaks from congress, this is going to be a steady drip, drip, drip, all the way through the fall election and remind people exactly what her problem is when it comes to credibility. So bakari, was it effective that Congress Demanded those notes from the fbi then . Well, yeah, i mean, i said this last week. I think it was monday on new day when we realized the notes would come to congress, and although theyre confidential, they would be leaked. I dont understand why people dont have an issue with that. They were confidential notes, 302s, i practice federal criminal defense, you take a client in all the time to go through this interview and they have 302s, these notes that the investigators take, you dont expect them to be public because theyre usually not. In this case, the fbi made them public, it is a slippery slope and now theyre leaked. Thats how the conversation got out. This is not Hillary Clinton throwing colin powell under the bus. This is the United States congress leaking this, and we will have these leaks from this point forward. So to jeffreys point, it is a problem. All right, well i have to leave it there. Thanks so much, ron, bakari, jeffrey. Still to come in the newsroom, Rudy Giuliani is relentless when it comes to Hillary Clintons health, telling people to go online and see for themselves.

Donald trump is putting his new Campaign Strategy into action. One attack, focusing on clintons unsubstantiated stamina issues. For one thing, she doesnt have the strength or the stamina, coupled with all of the other problems that this country has, and we have a lot. Her campaign and the people defending her are saying there is nothing factual about the claims to her health and that go online. And speculation at best. So go online and put down Hillary Clinton illness, and take a look at the videos for yourself. Okay, so lets talk about that. Kristin saltis and marge omeara, welcome to both of you. Good morning. Rudy giuliani said look online for proof that clinton is mentally ill, but if you google Rudy Giulianis name, that comes up with all sorts of things. Lets put there it is. It says he has alzheimers. Should we believe that too . I think this whole diversion into whether the candidates are physically or mentally fit to be president in the way that it is being brought up now is completely side tracking this campaign away from the issues that most voters care about. The polls that margie and i look at, how will we make america safe, it doesnt show people are interested in theories from the right or left. For surrogates to be pushing this message certainly stirs up a piece of the base, and up until this point, he has been good at playing to his base, but not the sort of message that is necessarily the one he needs to be on if he wants to expand his voter pool and be competitive in november. Margie, it seems to be a coordinated effort, because there are lots of articles on breitbart about Hillary Clintons alleged instability. Shawn hannity on fox brings it up all the time. Now you have Rudy Giuliani saying it like it is a fact. Whats the strategy here . I dont know. I mean, it smacks of desperation. Just because something gets a rise out of people doesnt mean it moves voters or president ial or be an effective strategy if one were to become president. I dont know why this seems leak a good strategy, because it is so clearly not from the polling. It shows 2 3 of americans one of the comments that, well, she needs pail l needs a pillow when she travels, if i traveled a lot, i would need something more than a pillow. It is crazy, these things. They really have, it is such a diversion from the things people say matter to them. It is interesting you bring up the pillows. I have to get this out, because i was talking to my mother the other day and she said does Hillary Clinton really need pillows, and i didnt know what she was talking about. People hear it. Look, people hear it. Certainly, ive heard it in a focus group, somebody mentioned the fact that people hear it is different from whether or not it actually convinces people to become trump voters. Certainly, the 50 of people who say im never going to vote for trump, is it going to get them off that ledge and seau kay okam going to vote for trump. I dont think so. This is why people arent voting for trump. The one polling number that feed news why they think it might be a strategy is that if you ask voters which of these folks makes you anxious, trump, 70 of people are anxious for him being president. But for Hillary Clinton, it is 50 are anxious. What trump is trying to do is go really negative and drive up the numbers so he and Hillary Clinton are both on the same page in terms of the percentage of people who are anxious about them being president. I think the smarter strategy is the one for him to actually behave in a more professional manner and reduce the percentage of people that think they would be anxious if he were president. Margie, it is not like there isnt stuff out there that is legitimate. We could have a debate over policies and the things that differentiate republicans from democrats. The reason trump is in the 40s is because there are republicans out there who want to vote for the republican candidate, and were not having a debate on the issues. Were not having a d he bait on how people feel about taxes or involvement overseas, or how do we feel about the role of government. We could be having that civilized debate and how we feel as a country, but instead, were having a debate what things trump has said, flip flopped from what he said last week, he gave a pivot that didnt last barely 24 hours. These are the kinds of things were having. It is not a conversation that really makes people feel good about this election process or about got. I have to leave it there. Thanks to both of you. It was a pleasure. Still to come in the newsroom, president obama set to visit louisiana tomorrow to see for himself the catastrophic flooding that left tens of thousands of people homes. Homeless.

I sang happy birthday to him. Reporter dad, fashioned a makeshift cake out of a few cookies. Like many of the families on his block, he has help from friends, coworkers. Im living in my camp. And it is going to be rough for the next two months, but we, you know, all of us are safe. Were alive. Reporter even with the helping hands, he says it will be weeks, perhaps months, until his house is a home again. Even after seeing those pictures, believe it or not, the family still consider themselves to be among some of the lucky ones you see. As you just heard, they have a place to stay. There are at least 3,000 other people that are still in shelters this morning. Thats according to some brand new numbers just released by it state. Thats a sign, carol, that the people here in southern louisiana still face a very long, difficult and for many, and for most, really, a very expensive road to recovery. One awesome family, polo. Polo sandoval, thanks so much. His conduct during the olympics gave team usa a black eye. Ryan lochte says he is human. His new apology, next. The Olympic Games are officially over. At last nights closing ceremony, rio said goodbye to the games and passed the torch to japan. As successful as the games were for the United States, the actions of some athletes outside the arena cast a long dark shadow. Im sure you know who im talking about. Coy wire live in rio this morning, good morning. Good morning to you, carol. Ryan lochte certainly cast a dark shadow over these games. When his bathroom incident at a gas station became an International Incident that everyone was talking about and feeling here in rio. So he sat down in his first tv interview just the other day and had some words to say about that whole thing, here he is. Im just really sorry about it. Im embarrassed for myself, my family, especially those guys, usa swimming, the whole Olympic Games, everyone watching. I was immature and made a stupid mistake. Im human. I made a mistake. I definitely learned from this. All right, lets move on and get to some good stuff, shall we . Last nights closing ceremony was so sweet, despite all that negative coverage rio received ahead of the games, the zika, the pollution, the crime, the games were no doubt an overall success, so it was a samba extravaganza. You had simon biles in the house, the gold winner for u. S. Gymnastics. She took that olympic stage by storm down here and what a wonderful representative of the United States. She was kind, humble, care, full of smiles, high flying and amazing, simmen bile simone bil.

Together, were building a better california. Good morning, im carol costello. Thank you so much for joining me. Dont call donald trump a flipflopper, especially when it comes to immigration. The gop president ial candidate pushing back on reports he may be softening his stance and thinking of ways to help undocumented immigrants stay in the United States legally. Were dealing with people. We have to be very firm. We have to be very, very strong when people come in illegally. We have a lot of people that want to come in through the legal process. Its not fair for them. Were working with a lot of people in the Hispanic Community to try and come up with an answer. So youre not flipflopping . No, im not flipflopping. We want to come up with a really fair but firm answer. That should be very firm. Look, we want to come up with something fair. All right, thats what trump said on fox friends this morning. Questions about mr. Trumps policy were raised after a weekend meeting with hispanic advisers to his campaign. Where trump reportedly said he wanted a, quote, humane and efficient way to deal with undocumented immigrants. Trumps Campaign Manager downplaying those comments in an interview with cnn. So what donald trump said yesterday in that meeting differed very little from what he had said publicly done including in his Convention Speech last month in cleveland. Its that we need a, quote, fair, end quote, humane way of dealing with what is estimated to be 11 million Illegal Immigrants in this country. Nothing differeded from what mr. Trump said previously. Let me play something from what mr. Trump has said previously. Listen to what he said back in november. Going to have a Deportation Force. Going to do it humanely how . Theyre going back where they came. If they came from a certain country, theyre going to be brought back to that country. Thats the way its supposed to. Does donald trump still support that, a Deportation Force removing 191 million or so undocumented ingra eed immigran . What he supports, if you go back to the Convention Speech a month ago, what he supports is to support the law, respectful of those americans looking for wellpaying jobs, and we are fair and humane for those who live among us in this country. And as the weeks unfold, as the weeks unfold, he will lay out the specifics of that plan that he will implement as president of the United States. Will that plan include a Deportation Force, the kind that you just heard in that sound bide a bite and you heard during the republican primaries . To be determined. Questions about the immigration stance as he seemingly try to woo minorities after months of controversial comments. I want to bring in cnns sunerlen serfaty. Trumps questions did come out of a meeting where he was trying to reach out to hispanic voters. And to truly Court Minority groups of voters, a group he has struggled with. With his new campaign format, his new Campaign Team firmly in place, it does appear trump is at least trying to move the rhetoric into new word, debut some new messaging, reaching out to expand his base. Just in the last week at multiple campaign rallies. Reaching out, in particular, to africanamerican voters. Heres a small part of what hes had to say. Ive asked the Africanamerican Community to honor me with their vote. Youre living in poverty. Your schools are no good. You have no jobs. 58 of your youth is unemployed. What the hell do you have to lose . So thats just a small slice of what donald trump is bringing now to the campaign trail. He is delivering many of those remarks in front of predominantly white audiences. It should be noted this is such a bill hill for him to climb. The latest poll has trump support with africanamericans at just 1 compared to clinton, 91 , carol. All right, sunlen serfaty, thank you. Our guest is a trump supporter. Welcome, sir. Thank you, carol, good to be with you. Nice to have you here. Do you think donald trump is flipflopping . No, i do not. I think hes been very, very consistent. You know, if it hadnt been for donald trump, we wouldnt even be talking about the immigration problems that this nation is facing today. And i think hes been very consistent. He wants to enforce the law. He wants to uphold the constitution. He wants to secure the borders. So you are in favor of a Deportation Force. You believe he is still in favor of implement Something Like that. Well, now, what im in favor of are criminal alien deportations. Weve had 86,000 criminal aliens who have been released from prisons and their countries dont take them back. Im very, very concerned about that. But if we take deportation off the table, we may as well take sovereignty off the table as well. Thats got to be the law must be enforced. So youre talk about the 11 million undocumented ingrants already in the United States i assume. So mr. Trump said he would deport them in a humane and efficient way. What do you suppose that means . You know, i think as the Campaign Goes on, were going to see more specifics come out. But, you know, it goes without saying if the current administration, which secretary Hillary Clinton has been part of, has certainly not secured the borders, has certainly continued attracting and bringing folks illegally into this nation who can compete with American Workers deporting these 11 million people, because it would come at enormous cost tough taxpayers. Im just trying to figure out what mr. Trump means when hes trying to come up with a humane and efficient way to rid the countries of all of the to rid this country of all these people. Well, when you say rid the country of all these people, i think in a humane way, my interpretation is hes going to take this slowly, hes going to talk hes going to reach out, as hes already done, to hispanics. And its not just hispanics coming in either. Ive been to that border twice. Im from texas. Weve got folks coming in across our border down there in south texas who are from the middle east, from africa and all over the world. Like how many . Weve seen well, last last year alone, we saw 47,000 cubans seeking asylum. They came in across the border. And weve had a number of isis operatives apprehended on the border. But doesnt the United States accept cubans . They do. About the situation, if they step foot across the border, they get asylum, but if they come by boat, they dont. Its crazy. Im not going down that rabbit trail no, should that change in your mind the question is securing the border maam. Yes. The question is securing the border and freeing americans up to find the jobs they need. We are coming out of this recession, the slowest rate that weve seen since the 1940s. And americans need these jobs. We shouldnt be opening our doors to people who are going to compete with the american labors and American Workers. Let me is you this. Did you say there are isis supporters coming over the border from mexico . Yes, i can can you confirm who they are and where theyve gone . I cant tell you. I think there was about six in one group. It is documented. Ive been down there two or three times. I was just at the El Paso Center what we call the epic center. Theres some folks coming across that border not just looking for jobs. Theres a lot of human trafficking. Theres a lot of drugs. Where are these supporters coming from . What country . All i can say is theyre coming from isis hot spots and its happening like iraq and syria . Any way you want to cut this, there are people who want to do us harm who are sympathetic to isis and theyre coming across this border. Theyre coming up through Central America and through mexico. And theyre here. You dont have to look any further than san bernardino, garland, texas, the Boston Marathon bombing, orlando, florida. I want to get specifics because this is scary to most americans. You have seen these isis supporters in custody or talked to i. C. E. Agents about these particular people . And where are they now . Have they been sent back . I cant tell you that, i have not personally are they in prison . Maam, youre trying to put words in my mouth. I have talked to Border Patrol agents on the south texas border and there have been isis sympathizers who have been apprehended on our south texas border. Youre going down a rabbit trail here, maam. The biggest thing here is donald trump, hes a plaintalking american who is very, very sympathetic to the American Workers and hes, hes very intent on changing the things that have harmed america. And our open borders is one of those okay, let me go down another rabbit trail, if you will another rabbit trail, thats right. Mr. Trump is trying to reach out to minority voters and not just hispanic and latino voters. He said democrats have failed africanamericans. So why the hell not vote for him . Asked his running mate mike pence about his pitch. Heres mike pences take, lets listen. On friday night, donald trump was in michigan, as you know, and he was making an appeal to africanamerican voters. True. And he used some language and messaging that some people have taken umbrage with. Ill read some of it to you. He said youre living in poverty. Your school rlgs no good. You have no jobs. You have 58 youth unemployment. What the hell do you have to lose. That was the appeal. What do you think of that message . Well, it was such an honor for me and really a privilege to be with donald trump earlier in the day as we toured neighborhoods devastated by the flooding in baton rouge. I saw i saw this broad shouldered leader and his profound compassion for the hurting families in louisiana. I think that message and other messages all proceed from the fact that donald trump and i both believe we can do better for every american. We can get this economy moving again. The liberal democratic policies of our major cities have resulted in failing schools and unsafe streets in too many areas. And donald trump is speaking to that boldly. He really believes, and i agree with him, that by getting this economy moving again, lower taxes, rolling back regulation, focusing on American Energy and trade deals that work for americans and also by expanding school choice. In terms of the language he used on friday night, you were okay with that . The youre living in poverty, you have no jobs, what the hell do you have to lose, you were okay with it atlantic thbeing tf a message . Well, look, donald trump is not a experienced politician who carefully selects his words, speaks right from his heart, right from his mouth. Well, heres the thing, congressman, many africanamericans say trumps outreach was not for them but for white voters. Because mr. Trump chose to make those remarks in front of a largely white audience. Can you address that . I sure can. I dont think mr. Trumps got a racist bone in his body. I think he is concerned about all americans. What he said you know, personally, i would not have chosen the same language that he chose. But he is not a politic. You know, the political elites are the ones that got us in the mess were in today. All these problems that america faces. And quite frankly, weve been 50 of americans think the countrys going in the wrong direction. And mr. Trump has promised to take us in the opposite direction. I think the average american wants to come to the polls. I think were going to surprise some folks. I believe mr. Trump is going to surprise a lot of people, just like Ronald Reagan surprised them back in 1980. And i think its going to be a turnout well, the polls dont show that. Hes got 1 support among africanamericans. Do you think it would be more effective perhaps if mr. Trump would apologize for the birther talk, or that president obama founded isis, do you think those things might be turning off africanamerican voters . And if mr. Trump just said, i didnt mean that stuff about the birther stuff, would that appease voters . Should he apologize . I dont think hes got a thing to apologize for. I believe hes concerned. Hes not a professional politician. But you dont have to be a professional politician to identify the problems and to fix them as the president. You dont have to be a politician to become the president. Were looking at his opponent. Secretary of state Hillary Clinton who hasnt had a press conference in 260 days because she didnt want to answer questions about the failed policies under her as the secretary of state and under president obamas administration. I think people are very concerned about the direction of this country. And as far as the polls go, i think theres a lot of people who may be undecided and who will surprise remember, president carter was ahead of Ronald Reagan at this point in time in 1980. I was around. I was a reagan supporter at that time and the American People have spoke and it shocked a lot of the professional elites and establishment. Just like this is going to be a shock in november, just a few months. All right, weve got 77 days to go. Congressman, thank you so much for joining me this morning.

If you want to save fifteen percent or more on Car Insurance, you switch to geico. Its what you do. Squuuuack, its what you do. And adding sean hannity to the list of advisers for mr. Trump. Its something that allison comorata asked trump about. The headlines, breitbart, targeting curt schilling. In reference to the transgender community. Theres no firing bias against women in technology, they just suck at interviews. Birth control makes women unattractive and crazy. You get the picture. Are you comfortable with that kind of flame throwing or insendry messaging . I think donald trump is bringing around him a team of people in steve and kellyanne and all those who have been part of this team for a long period of time that i think is delivering a message that is resonating with americans. Even if its incendiary . Donald trump is the name on the ticket. Im honored to be on the ticket with him. A republican political consultant, Rick Santorums 2012 president ial campaign, and the former strategist for Rudy Giulianis 2010 senate campaign, welcome to both of you. Good morning. Good morning. What do you make of sean hannity i guess informally advising Trumps Campaign along with breitbarts editor . What should we make of that . Well, i think what it says is donald Trump Realizes that he needs to listen to a broad group of people. Look, we know he listens to Rudy Giuliani. We know he listens to a lot of other president ial candidates. We know he goes and does all these town Hall Meetings basically. I think its actually admiral that hes not afraid to listen to people. Some dont have the same view he has. I think thats what you want as a president. Rick, it almost seems like the conservative media is running Trumps Campaign. Well, trump is the human avatar of the breitbart comment section. Stupid, vulgar, racist, antisemitic, vile in almost every aspect. A guy who now has steve bannon around him, a guy whos the architect of the news outlet, news outlet, thats incredibly racially divisive, incredibly intolerant, theyve attacked on a consistent basis muslims and now mormons. Theyre acting like the group in germany in the 1930s rather than a legitimate conservative media outlet. Bannons band of misfit toys is going to be pummelling out this propaganda. Steve is the right hand of donald trump. He plays to trumps worst instincts. He plays to the most divisive nasty aspects of trumps personality. With respect to my friend john, trump isnt doing town meetings. He really doesnt listen to people. The guy basically has a circle that once he grows tired of being controlled or being told what to do, hell cast them out. I mean, it already felt this morning like kellyanne was off the ticket or off the team because he had his twitter under his own control and hes out there smearing people and saying crazy things again. This is a guy with no discipline. This team around him isnt going to help that for very long. What i will say, john, that trump does give interviews to the press but only on fox and friends and on Sean Hannitys show. He hasnt given an interview to brett baer. Why not sit down with them . Lets be fair, trump is doing huge events all over the country. They are open to the press. So he does have a large megaphone that does get out to a lot of people. He wants to talk directly to the people. Second of all, the one absurdity is anybody saying that donald trump is overcontrolled. You cant say on one hand that you dont like comments that he makes and then on the other hand saying that somebodys controlling him. The truth of the matter is, americans are tired of hearing the same word smithing from people who say theyre going to do something about the American Dream about us getting sand kicked in our face all over the world, about immigration and trade. What they do like about donald trump is they feel they can at least trust him because they know that it is not somebody else putting words into his mouth and theyre really even accepting from time to time hes going to Say Something that might be insensitive or off color or whatever. It actually is more believable to them than everybody else who has come before them who promised things and hasnt delivered. Heres the thing, rick, donald trump has brought up Hillary Clintons alleged lack of stamina, mental stamina. Rudy giuliani brought that up on fox news yesterday. And im going to play this bite from Rudy Giuliani and then ill ask you, rick what you think on the other side. She has entire media empire that constantly demonizes donald trump, fails to point out several signs of illness by her. All you have to do is go her campaign and a number of people defending her saying theres nothing factual to the claims about her health and than thats speculation at best. Go online and put down Hillary Clinton illness, take a look at the videos for yourself. So, rick, youre a forrer strategist for Rudy Giuliani. If you go online and you put Rudy Giulianis name in there, a bunch of articles come up that he has alzheimers disease. It doesnt prove anything. Its just rumors and einnuendo. Why is he bringing this up . I always respect rudy. His statement with in defense of trump here is playing into something thats beneath a lot of the standard that he would have applyled as prosecutor or mayor. The evidentiary standard on this is not high enough to make that case. Look, donald trump is a guy the only evidence we have is a weird letter from a doctor who may not exist stating in the broad and most medical terms hes healthy. If that game wants to be played, i dont know anything about Donald Trumps stamina either. Hes a guy who goes to events every day. He refuses to sleep anywhere except trump tower. He gets on a jet, he goes back home to trump tower. The guys practically Howard Hughes aside from the fact he does one big show every day. John, why cant we all just stop talking about the candidates health when theres theres nothing there. Well, look, first of all, lets be clear about this. Whoevers the next president is going to have to take on isis, china, the russians, syrians. All these huge problems. If Hillary Clinton cant stand up to Rudy Giulianis tough rhetoric, then we got real problems tough rhetoric . Hes, like, saying go online and believe all those rumors that she has like parkins disease. People are smart enough that they can decide if theyre going to listen to Rudy Giuliani or not. Hes not running for president just like bidens not running for president and all the people who have been dumping on donald trump. People in america know running for president is a tough thing. They wanted a tough thing. Because they want to see how people stand up to him. Let Hillary Clinton defend herself. I dont see that happening. Frankly, think people have enough respect for giuliani that, you know, theyre going to listen to him. Okay, i have to leave it there. Thanks to both of you. Former secretary of state colin powell is speaking out on Hillary Clintons emails. Did he or did he not give her advise before she took office about using a private email server. Maybe not.

And thats just one school, two semesters, three girls. Together, were building a better california. And good morning, im carol costello. Thank you so much for joining me. Former u. S. Secretary of state colin powell is speaking publicly for the very first time about Hillary Clintons news of a personal email server and he is not happy. According to the New York Times, clinton told the fbi that powell urged her to use a private email account while in office. But now powell is hitting back, telling People Magazine that, quote, her people have been trying to pin it on me. Cnn correspondent Suzanne Malveaux is live in washington with more on this. Good morning. Good morning, carol. It takes a lot for colin powell to company out publicly these days. Hes been enjoying a quiet retirement. You have to suspect the whole thing rubbed him the wrong way. I covered the story last week when the New York Times first reported Hillary Clintons first conversation with fbi investigators. It did suggest he recommended a private email for state Department Business. His spokesperson told me yes, powell did write clinton an email describing his use of a personal aol email account for unclassified messages and how it vastly improved communications within the state department. But unlike clinton, powell used a secure desk computer to manage classified information, he did not have a private server at his home, nor did he use outside contractors to set the whole thing up. Now powells trying to signal to the clinton camp to stop evoking his name in the email controversy. Acording to People Magazine, he says the truth is she was using the private email server for a year before i sent her a memo telling her what i did. Well, this morning, donald trump wasted no time using powells pushback to his advantage. She lied about the email. She lied about colin powell. I saw that he was not happy. And its the whole thing is a scam with them. Everything is a scam. Like grifters. Carol, i noticed you had joe on your show the last hour, the author of the upcoming book about the clintons in which he writes about this dinner party that Madeleine Albright threw in which powell gives clinton advice to use a private email account. While powell says he doesnt recall the advice he gave during this continue, there is something in the book that can help clear this up. He did not mention this earlier. Me writes that powell suggested confirmed a decision that clinton had made months earlier to keep her personal account and use it for most messages. So, carol, just wrap your head around this. It is possible that everyone is telling some form of the truth here. Oh, then so political, isnt it . I have to say, i mean, you got to parse it and you have to really pay attention. Because it benefits people in different ways. Yes, youre right about that. Suzanne malveaux, thanks so much. You explain that so well. I do appreciate that. Lets talk more about this. With me now is democratic strategist and former National Press secretary for bernie 2016. John avlon, cnn political analyst and editor in chief of the daily beast. What do you make of this . Look, i think this has been a serious, another hit on the Clinton Campaign because it resuscitates the questions about the emails which are damaging because they go to underlying questions about her honesty and trustworthiness. Evoking colin powell makes sense, especially to the extent he is a tailasic figure. When he pushes back publicly that can really hurt. That said, as suzanne just mentioned, this may be a giant political version where everyones telling their own truth and there arent as many smoking guns as partisans might like it to appear. But its not a good day in the news cycle for the Clinton Campaign when this message resuscitated. Kolb powell does not speak publicly about much these days. So its big when he does. Well, look, carol, i think what we have to remember is that secretary clinton has taken responsibility for her emails. Shep has taken responsibility for the use of her emails. And while none of us here know the nature of the conversation between secretary clinton and secretary powell, what we do know is that secretary clinton has taken responsibility. Shes apologized for it over and over again. I think what we should be looking at is the fact that the fact that this question of the emails and what was said from secretary clinton to the fbi came out in New York Times on friday due to partisan leaks thanks to gop members from the notes from the fbi. Like the Clinton Campaign has said, i also think the notes from secretary clintons interview with the fbi should be released to the public as opposed to these partisan leaks that leak out. We dont know the context of the questioning to secretary clinton. There is no transcript from the fbi meeting. But there are these infamous notes that i think that should be released to the public. Whether there are leaks or grifters or not, colin powell says her people, hes talking about clinton people, are trying to pin it on me and that seems to upset him. Colin powell also said it doesnt bother me and im free and im fine. Secretary clinton has repeatedly taken responsibility for her emails. She is not trying to pin it on anybody. Again this is a result of the gop or the republicans talking about emails you can imagine the Trump Campaign using Colin Powells quote in a campaign ad, right . Of course, i mean, look, this is gift wrapped for them. I mean, the Trump Campaign doesnt have a ton of credibility to spare but colin powell does. Again, you know, theres no way that continued conversation, especially from an angry and irritated colin powell, is a good day for the Clinton Campaign, full stop. So what should Hillary Clinton do, simone . So, carol, again, i have full confidence that the Clinton Campaign is going to continue to talk about the issues because thats what the American People care about and i believe thats what the election is about. But they do care about classified information and how it was handled. Carol, i want to know, the email question has been asked and answered, asked and answered, asked and answered again. Every time the gop brings up the emails, i think theyre expecting the Clinton Campaign to have a brandnew answer or to trip them up in some way, shape or form or trip up the Democratic Party as a whole. Again, secretary clinton has apologized for the emails. She said if she could do it again, she would not have used a public server and shes taken responsibility. So wait, she said in a threehour interview with the fbi she also sat down with fox News Reporter and botched the answer to that email question so, john, is it time for Hillary Clinton came out and gave another interview to someone and answered questions fully and freely . I mean, is it time for her to do a press conference . Its past time. I mean, you know, look. With regard to the server, she keeps apologizing and then, you know, the issue gets resuscitated. You can debate why and for whose nefarious purposes it may be but the reality is its not good for the clintons to have people reminded about this because it is a black mark on her campaign. Is it time for her to have a press conference . Absolutely. It is past time. Its fine to do it one on one and quick gaggles but a former press conference for somebody leading in the polls as president is overdue, something we expect from president ial candidates that the point. Im not saying its a good thing. Clearly nobody wants to keep talking about these emails. What im saying, suggesting, i think people should get out of the beltway and talk to the people. That americans, while yes they dont like this conversation about the email, they really want to talk about the issues.

Police in iraq have captured a 15yearold who they say was about to bomb a mosque in kirkuk. This video shows the teen being taken away by security guards with what appears to be a suicide vest on his body. A local Government Official telling cnn the boy was a member of the cubs of caliphate, children trained and brainwashed by isis. Another young bomber striking in turkey, 54 people now confirmed dead following an explosion at a wedding. At least 22 of them are children under the age of 14. And Police Believe the attacker was just a boy himself, only 12 to 14 years old. The attack at a mostly kurdish working class neighborhood in turkey. Its among the deadliest attacks the country has seen this year. For more, lets get to Cnn Senior International correspondent ben wedeman, hi, ben. Hi, carol this is a horrific bombing that took place at the end of a street party. It was a wedding for a young couple. And the entire neighborhood had showed up. Women, children, everybody. Acording to people we spoke to, as many as 500 people in the street when it happened. You mentioned turkish authorities are saying they believed bomber was they didnt say whether it was a girl or a boy but somebody between the ages of 12 and 14. They found pieces of the suicide vest in the area. And as you mentioned, it would appear that perhaps he was one of the socalled cubs of the caliph fate. Similar to that young wouldbe suicide bomber in kirkuk in iraq. And of course this is not the first time this kind of thing has happened. In iraq earlier this year, outside of baghdad, a similar attack. A young boy went to the very crowded Football Game full of children. In the local neighborhood. Blew himself up, killing dozens. The turkish authorities do believe that it was the work of isis. Why, because this attack was targeting a highprofile, high casualty event where there would be the kind of horror that has become characteristic of isis attacks here in this country. Now, turkey is dealing with another threat coming from the socalled pkk, thats the kurdish workers party. But by and large, the pkk focuses on the police and the military. Isis almost always, as it did on the 28th of june when it struck Istanbul International airport, goes for civilians, goes for maximum impact. Ben wedeman reporting live from turkey this morning.

Hillary clinton now says she will visit louisiana when, quote, the presence of a Political Campaign wont disrupt recovery there. Clintons campaign releasing a statement in the last hour saying the best way to help is to make sure people have the resources they need. In the meantime, president obama will make a stop in the floodravaged state tomorrow. Already, the losses there are staggering. 13 people have died. Just over 100,000 have applied for federal help to rebuild their homes and their lives. Paulo sandoval live with more. Good morning to you. I want ton show you the scenes that await president obama when he arrives on the ground in just over 24 hours. In this neighborhood in gonzalez, about 25 miles southeast of baton rouge, you can see not only peoples damaged belongings but also sheetrock, wood, really what make up the interior of these homes, is sitting on peoples front lawns. If you look at the houses, they look relatively undamaged but when you actually walk inside, many of these homes have already been gutted from inside as they try to keep the mold from growing and as they begin the very long, very costly process of repairs and rebuilding. Sure, the pictures here tell much of the story but also the numbers here. Some of the new ones i received from the state now suggesting that at least 3,000 people woke up in nearby shelters today. That number suggests there are plenty of families that are still displaced, still with no place to go. Also, about 55 million in whats called Housing Assistance have already been approved. About half of that has already been distributed. You talk to the people here, carol, especially ahead of the commander in chiefs visit, they will tell you they believe thats still not enough. They want to make sure the president gets the message the road to recovery is not just a long and painful one, its also a very costly one, as the majority of the people in the affected area did not have flood insurance.
