Who disagrees with Hillary Clintons proposed fiscal policies. Thanks for watching. Well be back tomorrow. Come home. New york misses you. Thanks for watching. See you tomorrow. Sayonara. Coming up, hardball with Chris Matthews. The trump slump. Lets play hardball. Good evening. Im Chris Matthews from washington. Another day, another trump controversy. Last night, the republican nominee made this claim about president obama at a rally in florida. Isis is honoring president obama. He is the founder of isis. Hes the founder of isis. Okay . Hes the founder. He founded isis. And i would say the cofounder would be crooked Hillary Clinton. Cofounder. Well, the Clinton Campaign itself responded earlier today in a statement. Her senior policy advisor wrote this is another example of donald trump trash talking the United States. Whats remarkable about trumps comments is that once again, hes echoing the talking points of putin and our adversaries to attack american leaders and american interests while failing to offer any serious plans to confront terrorism or make this country more secure. Well, the Associated Press which is known for its objectivity called trumps claims patently lost. It was formed as the local al qaeda franchise in iraq after the invasion. It preceded this president s tenure as well as Hillary Clintons time as secretary of state. Nevertheless, trump doubled down again today. I call president obama and Hillary Clinton the founders of
isis. Theyre the founders. Do you think its appropriate to call the sitting president of the United States the founder of a terrorist organization that wants to kill americans . He was the founder of isis, absolutely. The way he removed our troops i know what you meant. You meant that he created the vacuum, he lost the peace. No, i meant hes the founder of isis. I do. Hes the most valuable player. I give him the most valuable player award. I give her, too, by the way. Hes not sympathetic to them. He was the founder. The way he got out of iraq, that was the founding of isis. By using the term founder, they are hitting with you on this again. Mistake . No. Its no mistake. Everyones liking it. I think theyre liking it. Everyones liking it. Mikie likes it. In a speech last night, trump pointedly referred to the president himself using the middle named. Trump has a history of questioning the president s birth, of course, even his birth certificate, his school records, his credibility, even his loyalty to this country. What is his strategy right now . Nbcs Hallie Jackson is in kissimmee, florida, where trump will speak this hour. Help me read this guy. Why is he pushing this founder of isis, not even the explanation hugh hewitt tried to help him with. No, founder. Literally founded isis. Why does he insist on that . Reporter he was given an out obviously. Heres the deal. The Campaign Says this is trump trying to basically force a conversation about the president s policies in the middle east, what as you know many conservatives argue is a failed policy to destabilize the middle east and open up a power vacuum that let isis flourish. Heres the thing. Thats not what donald trump the candidate is saying. Instead, hes doing anything but back off of this, doubling down doesnt begin to describe it. By this morning alone he had repeated the claim that president obama was the founder of isis at least nine or ten times and this was before like 2 00 or 3 00 p. M. It is something we heard from him repeatedly. So what is the strategy here . Clearly trump and his campaign see a political opportunity in linking Hillary Clinton to president obama by painting and arguing that clinton will be a third term of the obama presidency. But heres the Political Risk in that, chris. That is when you look at nbcs newest favorability ratings, the president is nearly twice as popular as donald trump is. So even though clintons troubles when it comes to her approval rating, the president doesnt, not nearly as much. So that may be a problem for trump moving forward. In addition to the fact that he is repeating what is a demonstrably false statement. President obama obviously not the founder of isis. If trump wants to make the argument that the president by his policies opened up room for isis to grow, thats different. Thats not what were hearing out of his mouth. Thank you, Hallie Jackson. Over the past several weeks, trump has heightened his attacks on Hillary Clinton, even calling her the devil. Lets watch. Unstable hillary. Shes really pretty close to
unhinged. Shes like an unbalanced person. Shes a dangerous liar and you saw that with the fbi director. Honestly, i dont think shes all there. In one way, shes a monster. Okay . He made a deal with the devil. Shes the devil. He made a deal with the devil. Wow. Joining me right now, chairman of the American Conservative Union and democratic strategist and clinton surrogate, james carville, author of were still right, theyre still wrong the democrats case for 2016. Let me start with matt. We will get to james in a second. Matt, what do you think of that hyperbole . Lets call it hyperbole. The devil i like that. Doesnt have it together, the accusations of mental instability, of evil. The very force of evil, the devil. All that based upon what . I think it would be better if you just used her words. She said herself she shortcircuited. I think we ought to use director comeys words, she was reckless. Those are fair charges to make. Sometimes i think she meant to say shortcut but thats all right. The point is this, which is she didnt accurately describe what happened with her emails, she didnt accurately describe director comeys testimony and director comey himself said she was reckless. I think trump needs to stay in these lanes where hes got plenty to go here. This from a guy who is known to speak the truth. Comey . No. Trump. Hold on. Hillary clinton not being right on occasion but trump night after night saying stuff she didnt say. What about her . Shes been doing this for 30 years and is at 70 disapproval on her honesty and trustworthiness. James, founder of isis, then referring to the president as ba ram husein obama. Is that of any value to history, to truth, to anything . First of all, he killed bin laden so he could found isis. Look, the guy in his mind is
impotent. His supporters stay frustrated, hes getting outflanked, outmaneuvered by Hillary Clinton. In other words, in his mind, hes losing to a girl. He cant believe it. So whats his reaction, his little stubby hands out there flailing away saying every ridiculous thing anybody can come up with. We really shouldnt be covering this like hes serious. Hes just a guy thats been coldcocked and he cant believe his mouth is bleeding and hes starting to call everybody names and looks stupid in front of his supporters. Help me out. His mouth is bleeding. I lost you on that. What does that mean . Means he got hit. He got hit. Oh, like a boxing match. I get you. Like a guy, he starts a fight and somebody punches him back, his mouth is bleeding and hes crying, calling people names. He looks small. He looks like a loser. Hes weak. Hes down in the polls. Hes not doing well. Whats his reaction, is he just flails away out there. Its a psychology thing. Thats all this is. Are you channeling Elizabeth Warren when you say hes losing to a girl . I think women can say that. I dont think we can say that. I said in his mind hes losing to a girl. Not in my mind. In his mind. I would never say that. But thats the way that he thinks. Im glad you understand whats in his mind. I do. I think if we are going to talk about people throwing around charges, youre saying hes got little hands. He does. Why dont we talk about the issues . Hillary clinton might be in his head, i will give her credit. Shes withstood a lot of punches so far and looks pretty good right now. And trump is the one who looks like hes on the back of his heels. That being said, shes been doing this game for 30 years and her numbers are rancid with voters. How does that feel . You know, matt, i didnt pick trump. Your party did. He ran over 16 other people. He is your nominee selected by the members of your party. They knew what he was doing. They knew what they was getting into. If you want to attack the republican party, thats your choice. Thats your nominee. I didnt put him in there. Hes reacting poorly because hes getting slapped around. We actually elected our nominee. You used super delegates to get yours. Matt, matt. We know that hold on just a second. Did you say super delegates were decisive . I think they were very important. They werent decisive. She won them on earned delegates. She didnt need the super delegates. We can argue about it but thats not why she won. After the massacre at the orlando nightclub in june, trump insinuated president obamas sympathies were suspect. Lets watch. We are led by a man that
either is not tough, not smart or hes got Something Else in mind and the Something Else in mind, you know, people cant believe it. A lot of people think maybe he doesnt want to get it. A lot of people think maybe he doesnt want to know about it. What are these asides all about, these Little Things like we have Second Amendment options here, well, nobody knew him in school, we dont know, theres something going on here. You can hear the music in the background, the spooky music when he talks. Whats he implying . I know what i think hes implying. What do you think . I dont know. Oh, come o what do you think . Look, hes trying to find nobody knew him in school . What does that mean . Hes trying to find every angle he can on obama. No question about it. He has a long record of doing that. Whats he trying to suggest he is . A foreigner . I think for conservatives like me, that he is a left wing guy. No. Its not idealogical because he talks about his roots, where hes from. He says hes from somewhere else besides america, hes not a
legitimate president. He is actually from kansas which i kind of like. Why does he keep saying hes alien . I havent heard him say hes alien. He suggests it over and over. He says hes not from america. What do you mean he doesnt call him alien . No question hes playing whats a birther . Theres no question hes playing to conservatives over the fact that obama is way left and more left james, what do you think the message is . Its not a dog whistle. Its quite audible. His message is hes not a real american. Thats his message. Everybody knows that. Hes an unrepent aant birther. As long as it was working, he didnt care. Once he got hit, he cant take a punch. He got hit and then he goes nuts and flails away out there. Thats whats happening to him. He looks very, very weak in front of his own people. He just goes in one day and does one thing, he flails away and is just throwing these haymakers that are just moving air molecules around and meanwhile, they are coming in getting a shot and snapping his head back and thats whats going on. I know matt, matts a thoughtful guy, a real conservative, but it was his party that picked him. It wasnt the press didnt do it. It wasnt a conspiracy. James, youre amazing. Calling in to cnbc this morning, trump has to pick his calls, by the way, trump was asked if he had any regrets about recent comments he made about this Second Amendment people thing as well as criticism of the khan family, the parents of captain khan who was killed in iraq. On the Second Amendment, everybody came to my defense because there was nothing said wrong. Im talking about the power of the voter. And nothing was said wrong. And only the haters tried to grab on to that one and it was
very unsuccessful. As far as mr. Khan i think its been said by everyone, i think thats been very well talked about and thats been put to bed a long time ago. Do you agree with your friend ka carl icahn that you made a mistake . Have you to define what a mistake means. We are not here to talk about that. We are here to talk about economics. He talks like a dictator. Were not going to talk about anything, were not going to talk about the news or anything i have said. Wouldnt it be good if we talked about his economic plan. You think thats why he got that gig to go on the air, to talk apparently people will give him a gig to talk about anything he wants. A monmouth poll found that while americans found islamic terrorism the thing they most fear to their way of life, look what comes in second. Donald trump. 54 say trump is a threat. 42 say Hillary Clinton would be a threat. These are numbers that to me, its apples and oranges in terms of the threat of trump and the threat of isis but they are some
how able to answer these questions. What do you think . I think its terrible. You have donald trump and Hillary Clinton and you can see poll after poll hes the majority of people say hes a threat. I can show you polls where shes got similar problems. Heres the thing. We will elect a president you guys, you and rudy giuliani, i get along with you guys, but every time you Say Something about trump, he switches the topic. I will talk about trump. Heres the fact. If trump gets elected president , i still think he has a shot to get elected, he will win with people who in these polls say they dont like him or think hes a threat. We will pick a threat. Thats a new one. James, somebody is actually picking the specter they see out there. Your thoughts . Look, my thoughts are consistent. My good friend matt, im glad im not in his position. We have difficult cycles. This is a difficult cycle for him. Trump will continue to do this because hes just getting slapped around and getting humiliated in front of his
people and this is all he knows how to do. Is louisiana still in play . No. Louisiana in play . We have 400. Youre saying i know. Trump can probably win louisiana right now . Yeah. Im not going to be ridiculous. This is why james, through all the messes, all the years i have known him, always tells the truth. It has a twang to it but it is the truth. Thank you, james. Matts a good guy. Thats the truth. Thank you. Coming up, inside the republican partys growing frustration with their nominee which you heard some of that already, there are new reports that the rnc chairman told trump on the phone that his campaign is headed for failure. The projections are bad. That can cause the party, him, in other words, Reince Priebus, the chairman, to rethink his strategy for november. The latest on that coming up next. Inside the belly of the beast. Plus, more fallout over trumps line about how Second Amendment people could stop Hillary Clinton once shes elected. We are joined by a member of the Kennedy Family tonight, nephew of the president john f. Kennedy and senator robert f. Kennedy who reminds us Political Violence is no joke. And new polling on the five things trump has said during this campaign that bother voters the most. I doubt the most offensive trump line will come as a surprise. We all know what that is.

Sglp some Surprising New numbers on how donald trump and Hillary Clinton fare in three states this november. Lets check out the scoreboard. In wisconsin, clinton has a 15 point lead over trump among likely voters. Thats widened from her four
point edge last month. In iowa, its within the margin of error, trump ahead by one point, 4140. In other words, even pretty much. In south carolina, which last voted for a democrat in 76, trump is up by just two points, trump 4139. Same there, too close to call.

Today, Time Magazine is reporting the campaign is in quote, meltdown mode. Look at that picture. In it, thats the face of donald trump. It reports the chairman of the rnc, Reince Priebus, was so frustrated by Donald Trumps initial refusal to endorse even paul ryan, the speaker of the house, that he got on the phone and said he told trump, this is indirect, told trump that internal gop polling suggested trump was on track to lose the
election. Priebus explained to trump that priebus had a responsibility now to the entire republican party, not just to the president ial nominee. At the same time the hill newspaper reported gloom was setting in for gop lawmakers and strategists to increasingly think donald trump will lose the president ial election. Reports come at a time when trump continues to struggle daily to get on message for the general election. This week alone he suffered a slew of defections from Establishment Republicans who say trump is just too dangerous to be president. More on this story and what the campaign is thinking right now, im joined by the Deputy Editor and the Washington Post i was going to be roberta, robert costa, msnbc analyst. Not funny to be called roberta. Lets go with, what is the Time Magazine story . From the outside we can imagine there must be a meltdown because the poll numbers showing hillary polling maybe ten points ahead in many polls nationally and winning in a lot of states that trump needs to win like pennsylvania, where shes ahead
by ten. How do you know from the inside by reporting from the inside that there is truly a meltdown going on inside trump tower . Well, we talked for this story to republican officials, we talked to the Clinton Campaign and we talked to the candidate himself and whats striking about our conversation with donald trump is that on the one hand, he acknowledges that he is getting advice to soften up a little bit, to pivot for a general electorate, but virtually in the same breath he says im not sure if thats really what the country wants. So you sense a good amount of ambivalence even from the candidate who is very forthcoming about it about what his trajectory will be. Thats a really, you know, odd position to be in at this point in the race. Robert, theres an old expression in politics i have always liked called dance with the one that brung you. In this case, trump, what got trump to here by beating 16 other guys, people, in the fight for the republican nomination, was the style we are looking at
now, the arms waving, the wild statements, the accusations, the nicknames, and now people are saying thats not working. Is that it . He wants to stick with what got him there . He thinks it could be a path to the presidency but whats changing right now is this dynamic between the party chairman, Reince Priebus and the candidate. Priebus has coveted his role as a confidant to donald trump in recent months. If you were a donor, a party official, you went to Reince Priebus, he was a way to get to donald trump, a whisperer within the gop. Remember, priebus is also a former wisconsin state party chairman. Hes someone close to paul ryan. That paul ryan vacillation by trump, that was a breaking point in some ways for priebus. He was forced to have some tough conversations with trump based on my reporting. Then you saw trump in an odd, almost awkward move for him, coming out late that night last week and saying i endorse this guy, i endorse ryan. That looked like he was under pressure, like p. O. W. At this point. Sometimes he seems to buckle to priebus but the other times hes back to him again, the old self again. Hes capable of using the teleprompter when he needs to. He stayed on message for, we lost count, i think about 36 hours during which he gave his economic speech, but time and time again we have seen this candidate resort to his gut instinct. His gut instinct seems to take him in the direction of making statements the way that he did last night about president obama founding isis and then doubling down on them. Could it be something as simple as flopsweat . You are in front of an audience and realize youre losing the audience. I know what thats like. Everyone who has done Public Speaking knows the moment this isnt working and you hype it up to get their attention. Is that what it is . He cant stand giving boring speeches because he thinks hes losing his popularity as hes standing there . Its true that this is what has gotten him this far. He plays to a crowd. In our interview with him, he talks a lot about, you know,
hes a little bit baffled by the poll numbers because in his mind, he sees energized crowds in front of him and he thinks this is the voting electorate and of course, its a very very small percentage of that electorate. Thats delusional. Quickly from robert, do you know what it is about flopsweat, why does he have to almost instinctively have to hype it up every time he thinks its dragging . Because ever since he came down the elevator last year this has been a candidate who runs on the crowd, instincts, running on the instincts and trying to just gauge the election on his own. Hes an isolated candidate, a candidate who runs each day as a new day, and thats the reality of a general election is much more rough and tumble than a primary when that seemed to work well. Thank you both. Coming up, in the wake of trumps Second Amendment talk, some members of the Kennedy Family are speaking out about the danger of such rhetoric. I will speak in a moment to a nephew of president john f. Kennedy and senator robert f. Kennedy. This is hardball. This car is traveling over 200 miles per hour. To win, every millisecond matters.

You have moments when you really dont want to live anymore, its a fate that i would not wish on anybody, not anybody. b
when i saw donald trump attack another gold star mother, i felt such a sense of outrage. Wife, she was standing there, she had nothing to say, she probably. I would like to tell donald trump what it feels like, the sense of emptiness, that only losing a child can bring. Those people should be honored and treated with kindness for the rest of their life, and i dont think that donald trump will ever understand that. Priorities usa action is responsible for the contents of this advertising. Im hall of famer jerry west and my life is basketball. But that doesnt stop my afib from leaving me at a higher risk wbrid wbr16582 of stroke. Thatd be devastating. I took warfarin for over 15 years until i learned more about oncedaily xarelto. A latest generation blood thinner. Then i made the switch. Xarelto® significantly lowers the risk of stroke in people with afib not caused by a heart valve problem. It has similar effectiveness to warfarin. Warfarin interferes with vitamin k and at least six blood clotting factors. Xarelto® is selective targeting one critical factor of your bodys natural clotting function. For people with afib currently well managed on warfarin, there is limited information on how xarelto and warfarin compare in reducing the risk of stroke. Like all blood thinners, dont stop taking xarelto without talking to your doctor, as this may increase your risk of a blood clot or stroke. While taking you may bruise more easily, and it may take longer for bleeding to stop. Xarelto may increase your risk of bleeding if you take certain medicines. Xarelto can cause serious, and in rare cases fatal bleeding. Get help right away for unexpected bleeding, unusual bruising or tingling. If you have had spinal anesthesia while on xarelto watch for back pain or any nerve or muscle related signs or symptoms. Do not take xarelto if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. Tell your doctor before all planned medical or dental procedures. Before starting xarelto tell your doctor about any conditions, such as kidney, liver or bleeding problems. To help protect yourself from a stroke, ask your doctor about xarelto. Theres more to know.

Authorities are investigating what caused the deadly blast at a maryland Apartment Building that tore through the structure last night. Two people are confirmed dead. And in florida, the number of nontravel related zika cases continues to rise. This time by three, to 25. They are centered in the northern miami neighborhood of wynwood. Back to hardball. What we need in the United States is not division. What we need in the United States is not hatred. What we need in the United States is not violence and lawlessness. But is love and wisdom and compassion toward one another. Feeling of justice toward those who still suffer within our country. Welcome back to hardball. That was 48 years ago in 1968, robert f. Kennedy addressed a crowd of mainly africanamerican supporters in indiana, in indianapolis. On the night that Martin Luther king was assassinated. It was those remarks that kept the peace in indianapolis that night, many believe. As cities across the rest of the country erupted in violence. Now kennedys sister and his nephew that, would be William Kennedy smith who is right here,
has written an oped in Washington Post contrasting Robert Kennedy with donald trump. Quote, the article reads in the white hot cauldron of a president ial campaign it is still the words delivered off the cuff in the raw pressure of the moment that matter most. So it was with the real sense of sadness and revulsion that we listened to donald trump, the republican nominee for president as he referred to the options available to quote, Second Amendment people, close quote. While calling on Second Amendment people to take action marks the first time trump has seemingly targeted a political opponent, hes called for violence against protesters at his rallies throughout his campaign. Here he is. If you see somebody getting ready to throw a tomato, knock the crap out of them, would you . Seriously. Okay . Just knock the hell i promise you, i will pay for the legal fees, i promise. This guy started screaming by himself and i dont know, rough up, he should have been maybe he should have been roughed up because it was absolutely disgusting what he was doing. Know what they used to do
with guys like that in a place like this . They would be carried out on a stretcher, folks. Like to punch him in the face. If youre a little rough, you see the abuse the police were taking back there . They were abused. I mean, the police should be suing them. It shouldnt be the other way around. In the good old days this doesnt happen because they used to treat them very very rough. And when they protested once, you know, they would not do it again so easily. Its amazing when you put it all together. Im joined by William Kennedy smith. Thanks for coming on. Thank you for having me. Unusual for the Kennedy Family as close as you are. Both uncles were assassinated, president kennedy and Robert Kennedy. Here you are the nephew and your mom both writing an article today. What hit you when you saw that speech by trump about Second Amendment options . Well, chris, i love politics. You love politics. My family loves politics. In the years since bobby died,
ethel didnt run away. She was involved in the foundation, she was involved with human rights, with bedfordstuy. Its something we all participated in. Everything that we love in this country in regards to politics is based on the peaceful transition of power. Its the great thing that the founders left us. The peaceful transition of power. It was if you go all over the world, where its something that is the basis of our legal system, the basis of our economic system. If you go all over the world, we are the envy for that. When you see some candidate directly appealing to undermine that, whether its the Second Amendment comments or the other things that have been going on in the rally, it really is something we felt needed a response. You said it was particularly important to focus on the off the cuff remarks. You know, if you want to know about john kennedy, look at those press conferences where he talked to reporters and that was the first time that had been
done. He enjoyed that back and forth. If you want to know about Robert Kennedy, look at indianapolis. I think thats true of donald trump. I think those kinds of type of reveal something about a candidate. In this campaign we have seen Something Different and very very ugly. I dont think its the only way. If you look at the democratic convention, thats a reflection of the candidate. There are other ways they were different. They were different. They do reflect that. So i think thats why we felt that was something that contrasted bobbys words, what we need is not division, not hate, not violence. Contrasted in a way with what we are hearing from this campaign. This isnt a partisan comment, i can tell by reading it. You are not saying you prefer Hillary Clinton, for example, over donald trump. You are saying hes unfit. Thats a first. I talked to my mother, who has been around politics for six decades, more. Never has anybody in our family come out and said this persons
not fit. But Something Different again, you know, we have a great generation of people coming up. I have young kids. Theres tremendous technology here. The important thing is to keep the political system operating. Anything that strikes at that, that strikes at the peaceful transition of power, really creates a threat to all of that, creates a threat to the next generation, creates a threat to all the people who want to participate, and that threat has been out there for years, but its important to address it. You should do more television. Thank you. Thank you so much. Important stuff. Thank you for coming on. I really appreciate it. I hope people read the article as well. Its in Washington Post. Its well considered, well written and makes a very powerful point that has nothing to do with partisan politics. Right . Right. Up next, Donald Trumps statements have been troubling to his critics and also to some of his supporters. We have new polling that shows the five remarks hes made during this campaign that are the most concerning to voters
and the worst one i think you will recognize quickly. Sorry, captain obvious. Dont be. Ive got the hotels. Com app, which makes it simple to book a room for 500. Or 25, but it wont be here. You can stay with me. Thanks. Ive already lost enough today. My mmade a simple trip toonic the grocery storesis anything but simple. So i had an important conversation with my dermatologist about humira. He explained that humira works inside my body to target and help block a specific source of inflammation that contributes to my symptoms. In clinical trials, most adults taking humira were clear or almost clear, and many saw 75 and even 90 clearance in just 4 months. Humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. Serious, sometimes fatal infections and cancers, including lymphoma, have happened; as have blood, liver, and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure. Before treatment, get tested for tb. Tell your doctor if youve been to areas where certain fungal infections are common, and if youve had tb, hepatitis b, are prone to infections, or have flulike symptoms or sores. Dont start humira if you have an infection. Ask about humira, the 1 prescribed biologic by dermatologists. Clearer skin is possible. Welcome back to hardball. Donald trumps call for a Second Amendment people to take action is just the latest in a pattern of statements that have provoked outrage. Now Bloomberg Politics has poll tested some of the more controversial remarks trump has made throughout his campaign to find which ones bother voters the most. Tonight, we take a look at the five most concerning statements that donald trump has made. For that im joined by the roundtable. John fehery, molly ball, and Jonathan Capehart hosts a new podcast, cape up. He is also an msnbc contributor. Lets start with the fifth most offensive trump description. Its of the sacrifices he made for the country. The poll finds that trumps
statement that working hard is a sacrifice bothered 73 of voters. Lets take a look at what he said on abc two weeks ago. I think i made a lot of sacrifices. I work very very hard. I have created thousands and thousands of jobs, tens of thousands of jobs, built great structures, i have done i have had i have had tremendous success. Those are sacrifices . Oh, sure. I think theyre sacrifices. What did you make of that . He was comparing himself to captain khan, who was killed in action in iraq. To the parents, i believe, who have sacrificed. I think obviously, to denigrate the sacrifice of the parents of a fallen soldier is offensive on its face but beyond that, plenty of americans are willing to believe that donald trump has contributed something to this country, has worked hard. Why is the word sacrifice appropriate . Youre making a living, its not a sacrifice. Maybe he has even given up dinners out when he had to be at the office but compare that to the parents of a fallen soldier, the lack of empathy to not be able to put yourself in those peoples shoes and say that was worse, he doesnt seem to be able to put anybodys experience above his own. I wish we had a camera on your wince. You have one coming up. Next up, the poll finds that 74 of voters say they were bothered by trumps statement that he may not defend nato allies if they are attacked. In the interview with the New York Times trump was asked can the members of nato count on the United States to come to their military aid, i guess, if they were attacked by russia. Heres how trump answered that question. Have they fulfilled their obligations to us, if they fulfilled their obligations to us the answers yes. Im not saying if not. I mean, you dont pay your dues were leaving you. Sorry, we cant help you. Look, i think thats a rather specific instance that people say they are uncomfortable by but if you look at it in the
context of all the things he has talked about in the Foreign Policy sphere, especially when it comes to Nuclear Weapons and people are focusing now on the fact the president of the United States is practically a monarch when it comes to using Nuclear Weapons, that the idea that this person would leave our allies in the lurch, especially nato allies, is unfathomable. Heres something i bet you dont know. Im going to get you one a little early. Nato is an article 5 treaty. Article 5 says if one of us is attacked, all of us are attacked and have to come to that countrys defense. It has been invoked one time, after september 11th. When the United States was attacked. Nato came rallying around the United States and the United States went to war in afghanistan to avenge the attacks of september 11th. We are a beneficiary in that instance. Yeah. Lets take a look at the next one. This is for you, john. Next up, the poll finds that
75 , three quarters of us say they were bothered by trumps pronouncement that he alone can fix the problems the country faces. Lets listen to that line from Trumps Convention speech. Nobody knows the system better than me. Which is why i alone can fix it. You know, watching him, its funny when you put it all together. The boastfulness, the ridiculous hamming up and the mugging is un hes like playing a guy. Hes definitely a caricature. Hes playing a caricature, playing a type. I alone can fix it. It works very well for saturday night live. Im not as offended by this as some others. Which part . The i alone can fix it. Politicians are always making promises they know they cant keep. So in many ways, trump is playing a politician. I remember the old Campaign Theme jeb can fix it. We all know now that politicians really cant fix anything. Thats a hell of a statement. Especially alone. I think that maybe thats what offended voters so much. Especially republican voters. I think politicians can get things done. Listen, not Winston Churchill saved britain in world war ii. Roosevelt basically did a good job not by themselves. That was clever spin by the Clinton Campaign. You had hillary use that line in her speech to paint it as a quasidictatorial thing. It didnt necessarily sound that way when he said it in the context of someone who knows the system. You are burned out, buddy. How did you get so burned out . Im not a big w fan because i think he took us into a war we shouldnt have. Thats my opinion. I thought on 9 11, on that friday when he stood down there
where it all happened and he put his arm around that firefighter, i thought for that brilliant moment it was out of shakespeare, we will get the guys who did this. There was no whining, there was a toughness and directness, i wish he had stayed on that line but at that moment he was a leader. I believe in leaders. The key word in that statement is the fellows who knocked these buildings down will hear from us soon, not me. Us. Thats right. It wasnt like macarthur, i will return to use an example of a somewhat flawed leader. You are down on leaders. Im not down on leaders. Im not down on the process. I do think the voters are down on both. Lets take a look at the second most offensive line, the runnerup, was his criticism of the khan family, gold star parents of a soldier who did sacrifice his life in iraq to save his buddies. The poll finds that 75 of voters were bothered by what trump said about mr. Khans wife, who stood behind beside her husband as he addressed the
democratic conventioconvention. She didnt talk. Here is trump bashing that. His wife, if you look at his wife, she was standing there, she had nothing to say, she probably, maybe she wasnt allowed to have anything to say. You tell me. But plenty of people have written that. Plenty of who are these offstage describes that come out with this religious dictum he comes out with . I think ann coulter said that on twitter. Weird conspiracy fever swamp stuff goes straight from the internet into trumps brain and he believes it and alludes to it. Same with the ted cruz conspiracy theory. Beyond the fact hes saying unfounded things and things about women, he spouts these conspiracy theories that have no basis in fact and does it on a regular basis. If trump loses by a bigger margin as the poll suggests its because of this moment. This is the jump the shark moment for donald trump. Hes got to apologize and get it past him. Which one . On the khans. I agree. To me that was the showstopper. Its been devastating to his campaign. He hasnt recovered. It hits to the heart of the people, to the working class families out there whose kids do fight. Thats right. But republicans, you know, people who believe in patriotism and the military and the constitution, they looked at that moment and were moved by it. The military in our country is one of the highest, most prestigious classes of americans there are right now. The roundtable is sticking with us. I think you all can guess the worst thing trump said according to our voters. Back after this. I am totally blind. I lost my sight in afghanistan.

We are back with the round table, anyway, we have been reviewing the results of a new bloomberg poll which measures voters reactions to some of Donald Trumps most controversial remarks t. Poll found most concerning was trumps momery of a reporters
physical disability late last year. 83 of voters say they were bothered by this. Lets watch. Now the poor guy, you got to see the guy, oh, i dont know what i said, i dont remember. Hes going like, i dont remember, maybe thats what i said. Well, that was pretty direct. It was graphic. He was imitating a reporter with a physical disability. I was there i was at that last november at that rally. I think what is so stark on top of what he is doing. You can see it. What is so obvious. Whatever excuses or rationalizations, it was a whacky impression, it had nothing to do with the disability, which is what he said. When you look at the evidence, its powerful. Primordial. People know somebody that has a disability and can relate to that. Everybody has the notion of a kid walking down street, whether its Downs Syndrome or anything, somebody making fun of them. Its a smart [ bleep ] kid at
the street corner, every parent tells you dont make fun of somebody with a problem like that. Its bullying. Everyone recognizes that for what it is. Its bullying. I think this pom higher than say the offense of criticizing the khan family, its because everyone knows someone who has been bullied or bullied themselves this is what secretary gates pointed out as secretary of defense only 1 , less than 1 of the American People have someone in the u. S. Military. So people can empathize with the khan, but they know exactly whats happening. Have you been bullied . Have i . When you were a kid . Of course. You remember it . Absolutely. Its a natural experience for almost everybody and isolated by the unfairness of our society. First of all the third point
id make is we have become of the last 20 years, a Caring Society with the disability community. We reached out to them. Thanks to bob dole. For a lot of varies reasons. For him to do that, its so completely beyond the pale. Its really unforgettable. I wonder why he does it. Some brain suit, somebody think itself thats what im going to do. I wouldnt erase any bully. Most bullies are insecurity deep down. So they have to pick on somebody lesser than them. Lets get being to something more bake. Theyre bad. Its a bad thing to do. Its just wrong. When we return, these people will tell me something i dont know. Well be right back. Clean food. Words panera lives by. No artificial flavors, preservatives, sweeteners. No colors from artificial sources. 100 of our food will be clean by years end. Thats food as it should be. Enepeople want power. Hallenge. And power plants account for more than a third of energyrelated carbon emissions. The challenge is to capture the emissions before theyre released into the atmosphere. Exxonmobil is a leader in carbon capture. Our team is working to make this technology better, more affordable so it can reduce emissions around the world. Thats what were working on right now. Energy lives here. Barack obama, number one, is incompetent and, number two, remember this, number two, he is the founder in a true sense, if you want to stay, i didnt want to be there, but if he would have kept a relatively small force, he probably could have been prevented isis from forming. Okay. Thats donald trump, moments ago, calling president obama the founder of isis. John, tell me something i dont know. Rob portman one of the few bright spots, rob portman is going to win, fairly easily. For his reelection in ohio . Exactly. Edwin, mcmullen, the independent conservative candidate who got in the race this week, theyre telling me, he is making the ballot in colorado, a swing state, where he could play a spoiler. Why is he running . Because he wants people to have another choice besides the choice they have. Today for my new podcast, i interviewed ambassador Wendy Sherman, one of the things we talked about, i asked her, she is not on twitter. When she was on the Democratic Platform Committee doing the fights, just before the convention, he said, dont go on twitter, dont read anything, i dont want to hear it. Her daughter told her some of the things. She was nonplus because she said when youve heard death to Wendy Sherman on the streets of tehran, nothing else is.
