Transcripts For CNNW CNN Newsroom With Carol Costello 20160823

Cnns Jessica Schneider joins me now with trumps latest rally. Donald trump hitting Hillary Clinton on multiple fronts and escalating his attacks on her email scandal. Trump ramping up his accusations of pay for play and calling for an immediate, expedited and impartial investigation. Donald trump once again attempting to capitalize ontiveros going scrutiny of Hillary Clintons emails and the Clinton Foundation. In his strongest language yet accusing his opponent of fostering a pay for play culture when she served as secretary of state. The amounts involved, the favors done and the significant number of times it was done require an expedited investigation by a special prosecutor immediately, immediately, immediately. Trump claiming the fbi and the Justice Department whitewashed clintons email scandal. It has proven itself to be really, sadly, a political arm of the white house. This charge coming as a judge orders the state department to review an additional 15,000 emails and other documents. The former secretary of state did not voluntarily turn over. A Development Clinton brushed off monday night. Jimmy, my emails are so boring. Yeah. Mine are. Im embarrassed about that. Weve already released 30,000plus. Whats a few more . Trump continuing his out reach to black and hispanic voters, raising eyebrows with his tone once again. Well get rid of the crime. Youll be able to walk down the street without getting shot. Right now you walk down the street, you get shot. Clintons campaign blasting trumps overture to the black community, accusing trump of doubling down on insults, fears and stereotypes that set our Community Back and further divide our country. This appeal to hispanics coming as Trumps Campaign continues to clarify his stance on the mass deportation of immigrants. Were going to get rid of all the bad ones. Were going to get them out. The police know who they are. He will deport those who have absolutely committed a crime, being convicted of a crime. This change coming after trump advocated for mass deportation for months. Theyre going back where they came. As for Hillary Clinton, the democratic nominee forced to address unfounded conspiracy theories over her health. Go online and put down Hillary Clinton illness. Take a look at the videos for yourself. I dont know why they are saying this. On the one hand its part of the whacky strategy, just say all these crazy things and maybe you can get some people to believe you. On the other hand, its absolutely makes no sense. Can you open this jar of pickles . This has not been tampered with. So Hillary Clinton laughing off questions about her health there. Shell also be changing the narrative to the economy today. Shes putting forward a plan to expand healthcare credits and make a standard Tax Deduction available to Small Businesses. Her running mate tim kaine will talk about those plans at a round table in colorado. Donald trump is calling for the clintons to close down the Global Foundation and return the donations. He charges secretary of state clinton is guilty of pay for play. In other words, he says, there is evidence mrs. Clinton gran d ed favors while she was secretary of state in exchange for donations to the foundation. James carville says the shut down would be catastrophic for people who benefit from the foundation. All of a sudden the press has decided that were going to go after this and shut it down. Youre probably going to be successful. Theyre going to be people that are going to die because of this. All of the people that help shut it down are going to say, gee, we did some people, a Million People had to die but we had to prove a point. Okay. Go ahead. You have your point. Wow. What a great idea. This is some of what carville is talking about. The Clinton Foundation provides meals to 31,000 schools in the United States. Its helped farmers in east raf ka wi africa with their crops and its renegotiated the price of hiv drugs so they could be provided to millions. What it comes down to, the foundation itself is confusing and controversial for a couple of reasons. One, it has 11 different initiatives under this big umbrella organization. Some of those initiatives are actually based overseas. So the reporting guidelines and requirements for those are different than what you would get in the u. S. Also, additionally, the very named foundation implies to some people this is a grantmaking institution. This is one of the biggest misunderstanding about the foundation. This is why you hear conservatives say it doesnt it holds onto the money itself. Well, it holds onto the money because it is a charity doing the work on the ground itself as opposed to a foundation which is sort of known as a grantmaking institution. Wealthy families set these up and then they make grants to other nonprofits that actually execute the work. Thats the number two biggest confusion. Number three, you have something called the clinton global initiative. One source described it to me as the okay cupid of the nonprofit world. What it does is it matches wealthy donors with outside causes. The problem is that the clintons charge 20,000 in membership fees to attend these events where these wealthy donors announce their support for various charities. Critics say that is essentially an access fee to the clintons. Thats been the problems plaguing the initiative, which by the way the foundation announced its no longer going to be holding those events. But what it boils down to, carol, and what weve been hearing so much about is the conflict of interest, this idea that there was pay for play while she was secretary of state. And the biggest criticism has been, okay, so now the Clinton Foundation announced these changes where theyre not going to accept donations from foreign countries. Why didnt you do it sooner, is what the critics are pushing here. If theres going to be a conflict while shes president , why wasnt there one while she was secretary of state . Why didnt this happen sooner . So all of these new emails have been uncovered. I know youve read through them. Is there any evidence, hard core evidence of pay for play while mrs. Clinton was secretary of state . Thats the thing. Theres no smoking gun per se. But the problem again, carol, is there have been a number of slipups. One of the biggest ones was while she was secretary of state there were supposed to be protections in place to make sure there was not even a perception or an image of this pay for play. And at least on one occasion and the Clinton Foundation has admitted this there was a violation of that agreement. Thats why people have a trust issue here. Its not because theres a smoking gun. Its because of the image, the perception problems that its trying to combat. Lets talk about this. With me now Joseph Borelli and angela rye. Why not just shutter the foundation and put an end to all of this . I think James Carville had it right. Its not just waves youre making in the press. Youre making waves with people who actually need these resources. I understand the optics of it. I think theyre challenging. Its been a tremendous distraction for not only the Clinton Campaign but the Clinton Foundation. They have a lot of work theyve got to continue to do. And a lot of people are legitimately relying on that work. Whether or not there are donors who have helped to provide those types of funds to ensure people can benefit whether youre talking about hiv or farmers in africa. Donald trump did donate to the Clinton Foundation. Joseph, i want to hear from you. What about those needy people that benefit from the Clinton Foundation . Nobody is questioning that. The problem is that the byproduct of the foundation is the good work it did. The substance of the foundation and the reason for the foundation is to influence the clintons and gain access to the clinton family, the state department. There is some smoking guns. You see case after case and one in particular where a saudi prince was denied officially a meeting by the state department with the secretary of state and then someone from the foundation comes up and says, by the way, hes a friend of ours. Odd mother and fathafia technol. Hes fraea friend of the foundations, therefore Hillary Clinton should alter her decision to meet with this person. Thats why there really is a smoking gun here. Heres what we do know. There were requests directed to clintons chief of staff. The request from donors would often come through a long time bill clinton aide. He declined to comment on the newly released emails. We did reach out to them. What came of this, we just dont know. Because the donors didnt always get what they wanted particularly when they sought anything more than a meeting. I guess the thing that i would raise here and maybe it just works different for the city council. As a former hill staffer, there are a lot of people who are friends of your bosses and what ends up happening is regardless if they donated or not, a friend of a member means you shouldnt just ignore the email whether you give them what they want or not. Therefo you still reply, you still respond. You should do that with constituents period but you definitely dont ignore your friends. Should those question have come from abadeen. She has worked for secretary clinton for a long time. If someone goes to her, they know theyre likely to be seen by Hillary Clinton. Who was working for the foundation and the state department at the same time. Theres a conflict of interest in that. She got special clearance for that from the state department. One incident may not be a smoking gun. But you have the fbi and three separate department of justice field departments coming and saying we believe theres enough evidence of criminal conduct with the Clinton Foundation that we should investigate. Who killed it . Coincidentally the same person who met with bill clinton on a private plaine. I dont think he called for a special prosecutor. Hes asking the president to appoint a special prosecutor. Hes also calling for something in a system that hes already sold to his supporters as a rigged system. Ive got to take a break. Still to come in the newsroom, Donald Trumps message to minorities is simple, what have you got to lose. For some africanamerican and hispanic voters trumps eyebrow raising rhetoric does not match their reality. Dogs sure can be messy. But with nexgard, their flea and tick killer doesnt have to be.

In the key battleground state of ohio, donald trump tried again to reach out to africanamerican voters. It is a disaster the way africanamericans are living in many cases and in many cases the way hispanics are living. And i say it with such a deep felt feeling. What do you have to lose . I will straighten it out. Ill bring jobs back. Well bring spirit back. Well get rid of the crime. Youll be able to walk down the street without getting shot. Right now you walk down so inside the rally, mr. Trumps comments were wildly applauded. But he appealed once again to a mostly white crowd. We counted two africanamericans in that crowd. Akron, ohio, is 30 black. Gary tuckman drive to a community that has the highest percentage of africanamericans in the city. Reporter she just opened up her own boutique here in akron. He shes only 22 years old. He had the audacity to say that. He just kind of says anything. Reporter Kimberly Wilson is a principal in a grade school with more than 90 africanamerican students. A new school year is about to begin. Donald trump saying your schools are no good saddens her. We have parents and teachers and staff that are dedicated to our students. Reporter then we met kenney wells. Right now if i had to vote today, it would probably be trump. Reporter wells believes trump is speaking some hard truths. Hes probably right. What do we have to lose . Reporter you dont find that insulting . No. Democrats are going to insult me too. They have insulted me assuming that im going to vote for them. Joseph, does mr. Trump need to tweak his message to africanamericans . I think he is starting to talk strongly about issues that are of concern to not only africanamericans but to broader americans who might be living in cities. I obviously cannot speak to africanamericans as well as someone who is africanamerican. But this network has had a dozen people who are black to do support donald trump. I represent part of new york city, which is a prendominantly mie minority city. All these things that are traditionally associated with the democratic party, there are plenty of people of every color who think theyre wrong. It is within good and rational thought for donald trump to say what have you to lose . You ovve gone in this directio for so many years. Why not consider an alternative . When you look at the polls number, the fact that gary johnson and jill stein are doing bet we are the black kpucommuni than donald trump is damning. When you start your campaign with the slogan make America Great again, we hear shackles and see dogs and fire hoses. Thats not an era that we want to go back to. His father was seen at a kkk rally. The fact that he continues to say things like you walk down the street without getting shot. I made it here this morning. That is really frustrating when you think about a group of people, when their most important issue is Race Relations in this country and the only thing donald trump has done is make those Race Relations even worse. There are some africanamericans saying that donald trump really isnt speaking to an africanamerican audience when he he says these things. Hes really speaking to his base. Hes got to do a better job. Hes been critical of the Republican Party for not doing a good enough job speaking to africanamericans and hispanics inside inner cities. Hes probably one of the first republican officials to make it part of his policy platform to readdress the way we look at inner cities. To angelas point, not everyone person who is africanamerican feels that the broad left or democratic africanamerican leaders speak for them. I didnt say that. Maybe donald trump will never speak or get 95 of the vote, like he sort of jokingly said. Hes saying hes only speaking to a small portion of the black community. Hes not even speaking to them. When you hear people say, you know what, my economics arent as good as they need to be, but im certainly not going to vote for the guy who wont even consider raising the minimum wage when theres documented proof that raising the minimum wage alone would benefit 35 of africanamericans. Theres no proof that raising the minimum wage will actually decrease low income jobs. There are genuinely two sides to every story on issues like this. Take school choice. There are people in the Democrat Party who live and die by the teachers union. He was saying ill fix it. He was saying our streets are broken. The reality of it is the best thing donald trump can do is get a new out reach strategy. The people on his team who are serving in this capacity are doing a disservice to him and are clearly incompetent. Donald trump has to do a much better job not just of going to large audiences and talking to black voters, which we know theyre missing. You have to start having reconversatioreal conversations with people who are policy makers in this space and who have touched and lived this life. He has not done this through his entire privileged life. The only thing donald trump has done is discriminate against black people in housing cases. Give him credit for the meeting he had with hispanics last week that did exactly what you said. Joe, im not going to give him credit for a meeting with latino people when were talking about black people right now. And i shouldnt have made the comparison. Hes also been criticized for not doing an effective job in out reach. Back in march he had a meeting amongst africanamerican pastors. He has had meetings with africanamericans. He does it consistently. I think he met with sheriff clark two days ago in milwaukee. Sheriff clark is no beacon of civil rights. Were going to start cherry picking africanamerican leader who deemed offensive in the black kmuntcommunity. I dont think all africanamericans think sheriff clark is offensive. Many do. Still to come in the newsroom, long before he became a president ial candidate, donald trump played the stock market. Did his wall street success come at a huge cost to American Workers .

Call now wall street ended monday mostly in the red. With the opening bell, were looking to see if investors will turn things around for tuesday. First, making millions playing the market. During the 1980s donald trump used a controversial but totally legal tactic to win big. But did it cost thousands of people their jobs . Cnns Phil Mattingly has more for you. Reporter in the high flying 80s it was the corporate raider who is got the big headlines and each bigger paydays. Donald trump wanted in on the action. Money is a score card. Money is a score card as far as im concerned. Believe me money is not the most important thing but its a way of keeping score. Reporter its something trump rarely discusses on the campaign trail, the four years where he played the stock market and mostly won, big, to the do you know of more than 200 million. But a cnn investigation comprised of hundreds of pages of neverbefore released depositions, testimony and financial documents, as well as more than a dozen interviews, opens a window into a play book with striking parallels to his campaign, one driven by a bareknuckle strategy of strong arm tactics, media leaks and public statements that often ran contrary to the truth. The difference between me and other people is ill attack back. If i have to attack whatever method is necessary, i will. I will. Reporter the review also discovered repeated allegations of the use of one particular volatile yet completely legal tactic, green mailing. The practice of buying a large stake in a company for the sole purpose of management buying the stock back to avoid a takeover at a premium. Trump used his position as the holder of a casino license to make millions as their managers scrambled to stave off a takeover attempt. The new Jersey Casino Commissioner at the time equated it to trump using a casino license as a weapon to weaken or undercut the financial integrity of its competitors. Donald trump in an unsolicited moment during testimony in front of the commission took pains to remind the commissioners green mailing is a totally legal practice. Its not a very pretty word. But a tellall account from former trump executive John Odonnell paints a different picture. In his 1991 book on the billionaire, odonnell recounts trump was making it very clear what he was doing, bashing bally executives acid yachs idiots wh in. I really enjoyed doing it because its put a real scare into them. With bally trump never went to far as to make a tender offer for the companies, leading critics to believe hed attacked. A democrat who supports Hillary Clinton served alongside reid on the new Jersey Casino Commission and raised major concern about whether trumps green mailing practice made him unfit to keep his state gaming license. In those days the term was vulnerable. We did not regard it as conduct sufficient for or at a level to you no longer qualify. But we took it seriously. We didnt like it. And we hoped by doing that, we put a stop to that kind of business. Reporter trump kept his casino license, but the companies themselves never recovered. Thousands lost their jobs. Bally was also left wounded and similarly mired in debt. As for trump, despite the millions in profits and the weakened competitors, it wasnt all positive. His efforts sparked a Justice Department investigation in the 1980s alleging that trump concocted a scheme to hide his intentions from bally and holiday. Trump settled the lawsuit for 750,000. He did not admit any wrongdoing. In a separate civil lawsuit,gren for his role in inflating the company stock. There are no apologies for his tactics. I love battles. Unfortunately battles im not controversial to be controversial. I get into a lot of battles and thats part of winning. That was Phil Mattingly reporting. Trumps campaign has declined cnns repeated request to make anyone available to walk through trumps investment strategy. On wall street things are looking up. Alison kosik is live at the New York Stock Exchange with more on this. Expect some modest moves as investors wait for janet yellen to give a speech. The symposium is often a venue for fed officials to make headlines. Economists think Hillary Clinton would be best for u. S. Business. Trump doesn even come in second. This new survey of more than 400 economists picked clinton as their top choice for economic policy. Gary johnson coming in second with 15 . Donald trump follows him with 14 . Most say trumps push to restrict trade and immigration are the opposite of what the u. S. Should be doing to boost growth. 61 say the u. S. Needs to allow for more immigration. And 65 say the u. S. Has to be open to free trade. Interesting point here, theres no consensus on whether the National Minimum wage should go up. Only 27 support an increase. There seems to be some concern about how raising it could hurt Overall Economic growth. Still to come in the newsroom, devastated flood victims sound off in louisiana. Many are asking wheres fema.

In just about an hour, president obama will leave the white house for flood ravaged baton rouge amid criticism he should have gone there sooner. Mr. Obamas trip will come 11 days after disaster first struck and four days after republican president ial candidate donald trump showed up. The water in baton rouge is receding now and it is revealing the damage left behind. You see it there, piles of trash, once peoples belongings, lining the streets. But this doesnt tell the whole story. 13 people died in the flooding. And 60,000 families are dealing with damaged homes. We talked with some of these people. Theyre not only wondering where president obama is but where fema is. You dont see contractors. You dont see fema. You see people in pickup trucks pulling out of peoples houses. We just hope, you know, that we just hope that the government steps up because so many people dont have anything. They need to get help. Waiting on fema to try to come and see what they can do for us. We went to my house today and cant salvage nothing but a microwave. So we hear you. So many morning were going to pose those questions to fema administrator kcraig fugate. I know fema is on the ground. How can these people get help . First thing is if we havent gotten to them, because were out in the streets and in the shelters registering people, is to go to disasterassistance. Gov. Weve already issued 100 million. Now weve issued it. Theres 100 Million Dollar thats been placed in peoples accounts to begin the mediate recovery, get a place to stay. Those numbers will continue to go up. This is a large operation and substantial amounts of money are getting to people. Because so many people were impacted in some of these areas, its been a challenge to get to some of the families and homes that were still flooded. I would suspect people who have lost everything and dont have anywhere to sleep at the moment, they might have difficulty getting to where they need to go to alert fema that they need help. Thats why weve gone to the shelters so that people dont have to go to us. We go to them. In some of these areas its just getting to these people. How many people do you have on the ground right now, sir . Over 2,000 and that number is growing. Some of our first teams arrived this weekend. Thats about 400 america corps. You have 2,000 people on the ground. Youve served more than 100,000 people so far. Yet the local paper and neighbors keep telling us the local papers editorial headline this morning says welcome, mr. President , louisiana needs you. On friday it read, we deserve more from obama, not a see quell to president bushs neglect. Can you braaddress that . I dont think its deserved but i understand people are frustrated. Ive been with president obama on numerous disaster responses. Hes been very clear to me, ill go, but i dont want to get in the response. I dont want to pull resources away from it. If you look at the response, this was not about a storm that was over like a tornado or hurricane. This was ongoing rescues. Those respondse eerrespondsers, lost their homes, hadnt had a break yet. The president has been engaged since last saturday. Sunday he declared a disaster for the state. In many cases we were working to get resources in here based upon what we saw were impacts, not waiting for assessments. Ive been down here. Jeh johnson has been down here. The president doesnt want to come in when there are still response activities and disrupt that with his visit. I think the optics were bad. He was on vacation. There were pictures of him playing golf with celebrities. That upset a great many people. Again, when you get flooded out and lose everything, theres a lot of frustration and sometimes youre going to vent. Its not about what the president hasnt been doing. Its about what weve been doing as an Administration Working with the Governors Team and also the president working on when it was a good time to come not to disrupt the response operations.

Good morning. Reporter good morning, carol. The most terrible news for a u. S. Military family. The pentagon announcing a short time ago the Service Member was killed in southern afghanistan in a place called Helmand Province. This is an area where the sell ban has been resurgent and there are more than 500 u. S. Troops down there. This serviceman was killed when he was on a walking patrol and triggered an ied explosion. The troops down there have been working to triand train and advise Afghan Forces to deal with the taliban there. Some of the other details were learning, six additional afghan Service Members wounded, another american wounded. Theyre looking into all of this. They dont think that the taliban really had planned to attack this patrol. It was more that they were out there and they triggered this ied explosion. Still, it does underscore a long way to go in afghanistan. President obama making that decision to keep a significant number of troops there for a longer period of time, specifically to try to help train these Afghan Forces in places like Helmand Province where the taliban had been resurge resurgent.

Reporter jeanne moos, cnn, new york. The next hour of cnn newsroom starts now. Good morning. Im carol costello. Thank you so much for joining me. The Clinton Foundation is coming under increasing scrutiny in the 2016 campaign as hillary and bill clinton face sharp criticism from republican rivals. Among them donald trump who is postponing a high profile immigration speech this week and turning his focus to clintons actions while she was secretary of state. The amounts involved, the favors done and the significant number of times it was done require an expedited investigation by a special prosecutor, immediately, immediately, immediately. Cnns Jessica Schneider has more on clintons response to all of this. Good morning. Good morning, carol. Donald trump is hitting Hillary Clinton from all angles. Hes now elevating her email scandal to a point where hes calling for a special prosecutor to launch an expedited investigation says the Justice Department cant be trusted. Hillary clinton, though, was all laughs in late night, prushing off the controversy over her emails and also the health rumors. The state Department Said they have to release 15,000 emails by the deadline, a couple of days before the debate. Are you concerned about that . No. I would be terrified if my emails were released. Jimmy, my emails are so boring. Im embarrassed about that. Mine arent. Weve already released 30,000plus. Whats a few more . Take my pulse while im talking to you, make sure im alive. Oh, my god. Theres nothing there. Back in october the National Enquirer said i would be dead in six months. With every breath i take, i feel like new lease on life. A new lease on life. All jokes aside, when it comes to medical records, both candidates have released the bare minimum. Trump and clinton made letters from their doctors public about a year ago. There has not been a release of anymore elaborate medical documentation until now. Jessica schneider, thanks for that report. Mr. Trump is not just hitting mrs. Clinton on her exmails, but hitting her on her foundation and her health, and also on law and order. He told fox news he could end violence in our cities quickly by allowing police to be tough. When i was in chicago, i got to meet a couple of very top police. I said how do you stop this . How do you stop this . If you were put in charge to a specific person dorks you think you could stop it . He said mr. Trump, id be able to stop it in one week. Did he tell you how he would be able to stop it in one week . No. He wants to use tough police tactics. You have to have a warrant to arrest people. You cant beat them up. You have to have a warrant to arrest them. All i know is this. I went to a top Police Officer in chicago who is not the police chief. I could see by the way he was dealing with his people, he was a rough, tough guy, they respected him greatly. I said how do you think you do it . He said, mr. Trump, within one week we could stop much of this. He didnt tell you precisely how. No, and i didnt ask him because im not the mayor of chicago. Lets talk about all of this with john phillips, a trump supporter, Rebecca Burke from real clear poll takes and crystal ball, a senior fellow at the leaders council. Good morning to all of you. Thanks for being here. Lets start with the exchange you just heard. Did you get what mr. Trump was talking about . Looks lick his position on crime is a lot closer to bill clinton than Hillary Clinton. Bill clinton supported sentencing guidelines at the federal level, supported mill tirizing our police, supported the death penalty. Theres a push in this country to decriminalize a lot of lower level crimes, a push to reduce the prison population. Thats exactly the opposite of what worked in the 1990s to lower the crime rate when big city mayors like Rudy Guiliano in new york and richard rear den adopted the james q. Policy of broken windows. They identified who were committing the crimes, put them in jail and ann allowed the sit teens to bounce back and lower the crime rate to the point where the people who replaced them for mayor ran on platforms dealing with the high cost of housing. Make it clear for us, john, somewhat mr. Trumps plan . Mr. Trump is supporting the cops. Mr. Trump is opposed to lower the prison population, as weve seen he wants to put more people in jail, right . Yeah, yeah. You identify who is breaking the law. Put them in jail and keep them in jail. We can say we believe in Prison Reform and we believe in sentencing reform, but the reality is, when you say youre in favor of sentencing reform, youre in favor of putting criminals back on the streets. Thats a recipe for disaster. Talk to any cop on the beat, theyll confirm that. Krystal, your thoughts . I think its important to remember the 90s were a very different time. Crime was on the rise at a much higher level than it is now. Now we actually see crime declining. Its also important to keep in mind that we have more people as a percentage of our population incarcerated than any other major country on the planet. That is not a recipe for success. Of course we know from statistics that communities of color are disproportionately targeted. Hillary clinton absolutely supports the police, has worked with Police Officers to find out what are the best reforms. People on both sides of the aisle, democrats and republicans have recognized, and bill clinton himself who did institute some of these policies, have recognized that weve got to chart a better way, both in terms of quality of life in our country and also in terms of budgetary impact. We cant put people in prison as an answer to every problem in society. Rebecca, mr. Trump was in akron, ohio, last night and held this big rally. Akron, ohio, has a very large africanamerican population, 30 of the city is black. He tried to reach out again to feyeric africanamericans. Here is what he said. The democrats have failed completely in the inner cities. Poverty, rejection, horrible education, no housing, no homes, no ownership, crime at levels that nobody has seen. You go to war zones in countries that were fighting, and its safer than living in some of our inner cities. Theyre run by the democrats. So coupled with the getting tough on crime and allowing police to be tough, does is what donald trump said last night, will it resonate with africanamerican voters, rebecca . These are two different issues were talking about, carol. His new message on minorities, trying to reach out, at least sounding like hes reaching out to africanamerican voters, to hispanic voters, is a very concerted strategy on Donald Trumps part. Not necessarily to bring some of those voters over to his side. Lets face it, these groups usually vote in droves for democrats. It would help him to potentially assuage some concerns among republicans that donald trump hasnt done enough to try to broaden the tent, reach out to some other demographics who could potentially support him or republicans down the line. So it presents an image of donald trump as more compassionate potentially and starts to assuage some of these concerns that republicans have had. But the law and order message is something kplietly different. This is something Richard Nixon actually ran on in the 60s. It plays to fears that people have about crime, obviously, but also some racial tensions as well. Whats interesting about this strategy for donald trump now is, unlike nixon and his position in the 60s, crime actually is not on the rise. Its at the lowest rates, especially Violent Crime in decades. So even though there is a rising amount of concern among americans about crime, there arent the statistics to back up that crime is actually on the rise. So donald trump is trying to play to some of those concerns, but the difference here is that crime itself is not as much of an actual factor in this election. I want to switch over to Hillary Clintons email controversy. You heard her on that late night show, right, john . She was sort of joerking about it. How did that come over to you . Not good. Look, they said its a conflict of interest to accept foreign donations or corporate donations if she were to be elected president. Theyd stop doing that, limit bills activities. How is that any different than when shes secretary of state and shes the face of americas diplomacy worldwide . Why was it not a kochb flikt of interest there. Why is huma abedin working for both the state department and the Clinton Foundation. Why are big money foreign donors given access to Hillary Clinton when they email huma abedin on her government email address . It seems to me its a complete and total mess for them and they should be worried about whats in those emails. Theres been so much conflict of interest we know about so far, god knows what else is out there . Krystal, there have been some suggestions, i think even from the boston globe, that the Clinton Foundation, they should shut it down. That would end the controversy right there. Do you agree with that . Its unfortunate because the Clinton Foundation does a lot of really good and important and lifesaving work around the globe. That impact cant be denied. I have to agree with them. I think its just too hard when you have the foundation built around bill and hillary and Chelsea Clintons global prestige, its hard to create the kind of boundaries and the kind of wall you would need to create if she was actually president of the United States. One thing i would point out that i think is a little different about being president versus being secretary of state in terms of how the Clinton Foundation business was handled, when youre secretary of state, youre the nations top diplomat, but ultimately implementing someone elses agenda. Your ability to influence the direction the country is going on visavis diplomatic relationships is limited. When youre president of the United States, its a different ball of wax, being president and being secretary of state. That being said, i believe its a mess. I agree the can campaign hasnt handled it well and these newest revelations threaten to bring up some of the elements and as specs of Hillary Clinton, her past and her personality that voters are very wary of. This d. C. Corruption that i think people expect and i guess the best i can say is i think some of these concerns are already baked in, and in some of the emails that weve seen going back and forth with huma abedin, she did push back and indicate that she was uncomfortable giving the kind of favors out that she was being asked to give. That is true. The thing i will say, rebecca, is i think this is a really complicated issue, and people really have to sit down and study it to truly understand it. Im not saying that questions shouldnt be raised because they certainly should be, but if you say pay to play, thats what voters hear and thats what sticks. So how should the clintons address this . Unfortunately for the clintons, as krystal just said, much of this is already baked in. The messaging that they are trying to impress upon people that what they did was aboveboard, that there was no correction, no pay to play, its all defensive at this point. Theyre not making a positive case about the work that the Clinton Foundation did, any firewall they did between the state department and the Clinton Foundation. Really what they needed to do was think about this when hillary was secretary of state or leaving that office, and think about how they were going to frame this at that stage. Unfortunately were now two months from election day, so its a little late for them to try to change peoples perception on this. Of course, this goes back to the question of honesty, trustworthiness, that is asked about Hillary Clinton in almost every poll that were seeing. Its consistently her lowest rating. This doesnt help on that metric. Of course, its already so low that the with each new attack related to the Clinton Foundation, related to new emails that come out, there isnt a lot of room for her ratings to get any worse. The question is how are undecided voters going to perceive these new developments, and are they going to make them think, well, Hillary Clinton is unacceptable and unfit for the presidency . Thats certainly the argument that donald Trumps Campaign is going to be trying to make. I have to leave it there. Thanks to all of you.

Any minute now president obama will leave for floodravaged baton rouge on Board Air Force one now on the tarmac at joint base andrews in maryland. The president leaves amid criticism that he should have traveled to baton rouge sooner. When mr. Obama arrives in louisiana, hell find trashlined streets, floods receding revealing utter devastation. Cnns nic robertson. We ears less than three hours from the visit of president barack obama. Hell tour east baton rouge parish. Its been about ten days since the major event happened here, it was during that time that president obama was on vacation in marthas vineyard. Something that has been taken exception to in this area, especially by the local newspaper which penned an op ed criticizing the president for not cutting his vacation short. It was during that time as well we saw republican president ial nominee donald trump show up in louisiana. The governor here saying he was glad of trumps visit, it highlighted the muchneeded resources that needed to come to this city. When you talk to local residents, they dont seem to be that much concerned about politics. Theyre focused on the cleanup. Help us. Thats all i can say, you know. Just help us. Aint nothing he can do for us that louisiana aint done for ourselves. I got no help from the government. I aint asked no help from the government. I think its great trump came in town to show his support. I think thats a good thing, you know, that he did that, to tell you the truth. What about obama . He should have been here. Livingston parish is among the hardest hit areas. Thats where were at right now. About 60 of the structures about 70 of the homes and structures in this area suffered some sort of damage. We got a sense of just how bad that damage was. During a home tour yesterday i spoke to a man who has been in this area 32 years. He says hes been through hurricanes and loads of Severe Weather but never experienced anything like that. He says up to seven feet of water. What hurts him the most is he lost a family bible thats been in his familys possession since the 1800s. Still 3,000 people remain in shelters here, and theres a lot of cleanup, months ahead, left to be done. Carol . Nick valencia reporting live this morning. Thank you. Last hour i spoke with fema administrator craig fugate about the criticism president obama has been facing. Here is what he had to say. I dont think its deserved, but i understand people are frustrated. Ive been with president obama on numerous disaster responses. One thing where hes been clear to me, craig, ill go, but i dont want to get in the response, i dont want to pull resources away from it. The president has been engaged since last saturday. Sunday he declared a disaster for the state. With me is Livingston Parish president layton riks. Hi, sir, can you hear me . Yes, maam, i can hear you. Are you looking forward to the president s visit today . I dont believe the president is coming out to Livingston Parish today. As i understand it, hes going to spend most of his time in east baton rouge parish. Theres been criticism that president obama should have visited louisiana sooner. Do you agree . Well, yes and no. I think the pros would be obviously to get resources here and shine light on Livingston Parish. But on the other hand, when you have the president come in, youve got to take all your First Responders and all your resources from state police and sheriffs departments and to secure him coming. Im not upset with him not coming to Livingston Parish. What concerns me the most is through the Governors Office and through fema that we get the assistance we need. I have to tell you right now the Governors Office have been absolutely phenomenal with Livingston Parish, as has fema. Im strur administrator craig fugate is in touch with the president of the United States because we have gotten our declarations done as soon as we need them which opens the door for us to get resources. Ill sort of leave the politics to others. I am glad hes coming today and i certainly appreciate president ial candidate donald trump coming actually to Livingston Parish. Im a little disappointed i wont get to speak oneonone with the president because we are the hard eflt hit parish. Ill leave the politics up to the candidates. Its kind of sad that everything is political these days, right . Well, you know, it really is. Its just the way it is. Its unfortunate in one way. My concern is getting our parish back up and running. Were resilient people but we have been knocked out. We got up. We fought back and now were in a major cleanup efforts that have now started. Theres a lot of people in our parish that are hurting with over 60,000 structures damaged in some way by these floodwaters. Schools damaged which means kids are out of school. You know how this goes. On and on and on. So anything that fema, the Governors Office, certainly the president of the United States can do to help our parish, thats what im focused on right now. We see the president getting into his helicopter, hell go to an drugs and get on air force one and fly on to louisiana. What is your biggest challenge, sir . What do you need most . I think temporary housing and housing is going to be the Biggest Issue that our folks are facing. We will eventually get all the stuff picked up from the side of the roads, but i dont know where these people are going to live. A lot of folks lost their vehicles. So i dont know how theyre going to get back and forth. I dont know when the jobs are going to come back into place. I dont know where their kids are going to be housed. And when school does get going, i dont know when theyll be able to get back to their homes to get in schools. Just the overall safety and wellbeing on our citizens right now is the main focus. Theres so much damage that thats really up in the air. Were working z toward getting them something. I think that will happen in the near future. I hope the president will announce some things today by him coming to our state. At least, if nothing else, reduce this to a 1090. What would you like the president to say . First of all, id like for him to reduce this from a 25 75 for the parish to a 90 10. Im almost certainly hell do that because of the devastation weve had. He has the authority to go 100 . I can tell you, if i could get in front of him, we would ask him to at least do 90 10 and beg him to go the other 10 and do 100 like was done in new orleans during katrina. Youre talking about how much people are reimbursed for what theyve lost, correct . Well, the parish itself. We dont have the budget to go out and pay. So were under a 25 75 right now in all our efforts and everything that we pay for. Im hoping he will go to at least a 90 10 and would like for him to go to 100 . In this initial phase anyway, so we can get debris picked up and it not bankrupt our parishes and our municipalities for our mayors. This is huge. As you know, the tax revenue is down because theres no businesses open. Your overhead is up because youve got people working around the clock. We need all the help the president will grant fema to do for us. And personally speaking to mr. Fugate last week, he has assured me our assets will be here. I can tell you everyone has responded through the Governors Office. I just could not ask for more at this point. This is a long road back to recovery, and we need all the help we can get for the long term. Layton ricks, the parish president there, thank you very much for joining us this morning. Well be right back. Thank you. Wireless service is essential to our business. Tmobile network has been amazing. I save a lot of time using tmobile cause i dont have to worry about the overages.

The president landing at andrews ready to Board Air Force one, on his way to floodravaged louisiana. Public officials in louisiana are hoping hell announce new federal help because theyve just been so devastated by the floodwaters. 60,000 homes have been damaged or destroyed there, 13 people lost their lives. Many people displaced with nowhere to go and no vehicles. I would say Public Officials and the public in louisiana are looking forward to seeing president obama land shortly in baton rouge a little later this morning. Well keep you posted. In other news, the Clinton Foundation has become one of the biggest political footballs in the 2016 race. The Nonprofit Organization says its doing everything from helping farmers in africa to reducing Prescription Drug abuse in the United States to improving Womens Health in peru. Donald trump calls the foundation a corrupt enterprise that needs to shut down and return the donations. He accuses Hillary Clinton of granting foundation own donors favors. Secretary clinton is looking into who the donors are and where the money is going. Good morning drew. Good morning, carol. The money calls from all over. Thats part of the problem. Last year 170 million came into the Clinton Foundation. Its big money. If youre looking for any smoking gun, pay to play, thats very hard to find. This is a map of the world and these are the specific countries in this world that have given millions to the Clinton Foundation over the years. 10 million to 25 million from australia, norway and saudi arabia. Five to ten million between the netherlands and the United States. Its not just countries. Individual foreign donors and foreign groups make up a huge share of donations to the Clinton Foundation. The campaign now says if Hillary Clinton becomes president , any foreign donations will no longer be accepteded. Cnns dana bash asks Hillary Clintons Campaign Manager why not wait . Why not do it now . Why not wait until the idea of her being president . Why not doing it when shes running for president . The foundation is doing an enormous amount of work and it takes time, in a number of countries around the world to retool and refocus the mission and adapt. At the heart of the issue is conflict of interest or even the appearance of one. Would president clinton give favorable treatment to a country or company or person who donated millions of dollars to the foundation . Thats how donald trump sees it. Theyve made hundreds of millions of dollars selling access, selling favors, selling government contracts, and i mean hundreds of million ofs dollars. Despite that claim, there are no definitive examples of what trump says. That doesnt mean there arent questions, but longtime bill clinton pal and mining magnate frank juice stra. His foundations have given more than 50 million to the Clinton Foundation, allowed bill clinton use of his private jet. And when a company he founded merged with another that became part of a russian business deal that needed government approval, that deal got the okay from the state department run by Hillary Clinton. Juice stra says he sold his stakes in the company years before the russian deal. So anything wrong . No. All aboveboard says the state department. Other Government Agencies approved the deal. All the rules were followed, as they were in all cases involving monsanto. The food giant has donated between 1 million and 5 million to the Clinton Foundation and has had multiple Partnership Projects with the clinton global initiative. In 2009 when Hillary Clinton took office as secretary of state, monsanto was actively lobbying the state department or helping promote opening markets for his projects across the globe. Ill all coincided with secretary clintons Global Policy to promote agricultural biotechnology. According to clinton she was promoting u. S. Agriculture much like her republican predecessor did. Theres no doubt one of the big winners was Clinton Foundation donor monsanto. Hoping to put the potential pay to playdoh nation especially with foreign donations to the end, it was bill clinton who tweeted this afternoon, if hillary becomes president , the foundation will only take in money from u. S. Citizens, permanent residents and u. S. Based independent foundations. And the bill, hillary and chelsea Clinton Foundation will change its name to just the Clinton Foundation. In other words, no hillary. Carol, if his wife is elected, bill clinton says hes going to step down from the board of the Clinton Foundation and he will not personally fundraise for it. Carol . All right, drew griffin reporting. Thanks so much for that. Hang in there a few more minutes. I want to bring in executive editor of cnn politics, mark preston. Welcome, mark. You just listened to drew griffins great report. Theres no smoking gun here. Nothing to prove theres any paytoplay involved with the Clinton Foundation. Does that matter . It certainly matters in the sense that the clintons have been very secretive in many ways about the foundation and the work that theyve done. The foundation, as we have known it, has done a lot of good work. No question about it. The question is how did they get their funding. As drew had said, for the 170 million, theres no pay to play. But it raises questions about how they went about raising the money. When it comes to politics, we heard Jeff Sessions infer this morning on cnn that, in fact, the foundation was extorting money from International Countries using Hillary Clintons position as the secretary of state. So there is certainly some questions there, but because theres smoke, we dont know if theres really any fire. So Hillary Clinton hasnt sat down and answered questions directly from reporters for quite a long time. Is it time she do that so she can answer these questions about the clinton Global Foundation and also her emails . Certainly two different issues that are actually combined. Strategically Hillary Clinton probably does need to do some kind of News Conference, a wide ranging News Conference on all types of issues and take some questions on this specific issue. But what they dont want to do, democrats, certainly the Clinton Campaign, is want to add more oxygen to this issue. Donald trump spoke about it at length last night in ohio. We saw mike pence, his Vice President ial running mate talk about it at length yesterday. What were seeing from the Trump Campaign is theyre trying to direct all their attention onto the clintons this week, specifically the email issue and specifically the foundation trying to take a little bit of the spotlight off themselves and see if the Clinton Campaign can handle it. Is that a smart political move on Donald Trumps part . He is deflecting, right . He doesnt have to explain exactly what his immigration policy is. He doesnt exactly have to explain how hes going to make chicago a safe city very quickly. So is this a smart political move on his part . Listen, some people would disagree with me on this. I do think its a smart political move in the sense that we havent seen the Trump Campaign certainly up to this point take a step back. When i say that, whenever theres some negative news about Hillary Clinton, donald trump would always seem to step up and overshadow that message. Were not seeing that right now. Theyre focusing all on Hillary Clinton. Mark preston, many thanks. Stim to come in the newsroom, an exclusive report from the front lines. Before taking his team to state for the first time.

An iraqi commander says isis is on its heels, getting beaten back as troops work on retaking another city, this time mosul, with the countrys second most populated area. Cnn Senior International correspondent arwa damon. Reporter were just outside the center of the town in a battle that has been going on since about 5 00 in the morning local time. As iraqi forces have been advancing, they have not only had to cope with that thick, black smoke that you see there blanketing the skies. That is as a result of isis continually burning crude oil to pry to impair the visibility of Coalition Air strikes. On the ground, they have also tried to deal with numerous ied and boobytrapped roads. They have had to remotely detonate some of the explosives, some of the vehicles ladened with bombs and theyve also brought in a digger in. Very very, very slow painstaking progress at this stage. In the last few months, the Iraqi Security forces have made significant gains which has allowed them to reach this far. Under apocalyptic skies blackened by thick smoke is the next target for iraqi forces. Isis used to move around 100 oil tankers of crude a day out of these fields, now set after flame by isis fighters to decrease visibility from above. We are some 65 kilometers or 40 miles south of mosul. Iraqi forces havent stepped in these lands since isis took over more than two years ago, their corpss left to rot in the son. The commander tells us isis appears to be weakened. I told you that the majority of fighters attack us were foreign fighters. Now they put some foreign fighters with local fighters. Now i think they have lack on the foreign fighters. Reporter on display, rep upons troopd found in residential homes. Among them, mortar larger than anything the iraqis have at their disposal. Another significant gain in this area, the guy eda air base, the Third Largest in iraq, much of it destroyed by isis fighters as they withdrew leaving, we are told, explosives under piles of dirt on the runways that need to be cleared. This will be a fightal forward base for the iraqis and potentially u. S. Forces. Families wearily haul what they can, stumbling away from the fighting. Translator they took half of our men, forced them to fight for them. They killed my father. Reporter tears for all they lost, loved ones gone in a war that few can fully comprehend, the lives they knew and loved disintegrated years ago. To the southeast of mosul, the Kurdish Peshmerga have pushed their front line forward as well. The peshmerga defend snakes its way along the east and north, the villages controlled by isis visible in the distance. Here, too, they have knowitiesed isis weakening showing how they move between nondescript buildings like this. They did drop down and take a few steps into what appeared to be some sort of tunnel. Rather than take their chances, they decided to withdraw and seal off the entrance. The choke hold around mows all is tightening and the governments pledge to liberate the city by the end of the year is still the goal.

More from brian stelter. Thats right. Now a second former fox news host alleging Sexual Harassment by roger ailes. This new lawsuit goes further naming several other defendants as well as fox news as a whole. When Gretchen Carlson filed her suit in july, it opened up this wider story about the culture and the conduct of fox news officials and what women employees of the Network Experienced both on air and off the afrmt once carlson sued, the owners of fox news, the murdochs, initiated an internal view done by an external law firm. Thats when we believe more than 20 women came forward speaking to the law firm about their experiences with ales. Until then only one woman was suing.

It says fox news mask raeds as a defender of traditional family values, but e be hind the scenes it operates like a sexfueled cult. The suit goes on to say, tantaros tried to complain to several people at fox news, several executives about alleged harassment and these complaints fell on deaf ears. As a result she says she was retaliated against. She was demoted and eventually benched by the network back in april. At the time people at fox said this was the result of a contract dispute, that she tried to publish a book without receiving the necessary approvals from fox news. Now tantaros Attorney Says that was a sham, ha the real thing that was happening behind the scenes was that fox news was trying to keep her quiet about this alleged harassment. The suit goes on to say this isnt just about ales. It names several other executives at fox news including bill shine who in effect took over for ales. It singles out the Public Relations arm saying the pr people were leaking negative stories about tan tear ross and putting items on blogs and twilter feeds meant to disparage her and hurt her reputation. Fox has nothing to say about the new lawsuit. But ales continues to deny the allegations against him. And shine says he was never told by tantaros of harassment by ales.
