Here, katrina. Im having a hard time. Oh, my gosh. That would be an understatement. Joe has the morning off. Along on set with willie and me legendary columnist and msnbc contributor, mike barnicle. Professor at the university of Michigan School of Public Policy, guys, get ready. And, also, donny deutsch. Lewd. Guys, its easy, lewd. Very lewd. Filling in as cohost with all due respect. What are they thinking . What a train wreck. At 6 00 youre on every night. It was interesting. Tom green turned it down and professor irwin cory. Im going to watch to see what happens. Also with us on capitol hill former ted cruise communication director and msnbc political communicator joins us. Good morning. Looks like a hack of top democratic officials is wider than previously reported potentially affecting the email accounts of more than 100 Party Leaders and groups. According to New York Times citing officials with knowledge of the case. We initially learned that the dnc and the partys congressional arm were impacted but now it seems the hacking extended to the Democratic Governors Association and others. The democrats involved in the fbi investigation and personal accounts of Clinton Campaign officials and Party Operatives are also said to have been targeted. Now, u. S. National Security Officials are confident that russian intelligence agencies hacked the dnc. The political fallout, as we all know here, has been severe. Youll recall the content of some emails forced top dnc staffers, including the chair of the Dnc Debbie Wasserman schultz to resign on the eve of her partys convention. Meanwhile, emails from Hillary Clintons state Department Staff are, once again, putting her familys foundation in the spotlight. Heres nbc Kristen Wellker with the details. Reporter state Department Emails raising fresh questions about the relationship between the Clinton Family foundation and secretary clintons state department. One dated 2009. A Clinton Foundation executive emailed secretary clintons top advisors requesting they set opmeeting between a billionaire donor and the u. S. Ambassador to lebanon. This is very important, he said. Critics have pounced on foreign donations to the foundation, questioning whether that bought donors access to the state department. Its called pay for play. Reporter last year capitol hill bt defending the foundation to cynthia mcfadden. We have never done anything knowingly inappropriate in terms of taking money to influence any kind of government american policy. Reporter the Clinton Campaign telling nbc news these new emails dont relate to the foundations work and the donor never met with the ambassador. The Trump Campaign jumped on this yesterday accusing the clintons of accepting money for access. Now there are more emails that have come to light today that seem to provide direct evidence that favors were done by foreign contributors to the Clinton Foundation by officials at the state department. You know, its the old, its the old pay to play system. The American People are sick and tired of and donald trump and i are going to bring it to a crashing end. Today we had a very, very big thing going on all over this country. And its called pay for play. You saw this. New emails come out. How do you think hillary would feel if emails were never invented . Would she be happy . Thats like a truth serum. Maybe theres more to come. Maybe theres more to come. Pay for play. Called pay for play. Youre not allowed to do it, its illegal. Its illegal and i would imagine other things are going to come down the pike. Lets see what happens. Thats the big question there. But just a little small parentheses on the fact that donald trump admitted to giving money to campaigns. Both democrats and republicans whoever serves his purpose so he can get access and get things done. So, im not sure its that great coming from him. But as a clinton supporter, i think the bigger question is, what is going to come out . Could Something Big come out . Could we have implosion of economic proportions. Could you say that the candidate you support doesnt have something lurking here that could bring down her campaign . I havent seen any emails that suggest that anything would cause it to implode. This worries me. The only thing i agree with donald trump and that bizarre statement he made. We have to wait and see. I hope hes not encouraging more hacking as he did a few weeks back when he urged the russians that they would be rewarded by the American Press if they were to find more emails. But i have no reason to believe that anyone in the Clinton Department something comes out to the contrary of that, well have to deal with that. We have no reason not to believe it. She has it on this issue, i think its i am going to say it from my perspective, it just doesnt feel like shes been completely honest. Her answers dont feel comfortable at all. They seem hedread from Legal Assistance and prodding and coaching to try to get around something. My gut is, its probably just to sort of wide on the footprint of the foundation and widen their reach for whatever, you know, needs they have to either help people or boost their own personal fortune. I want tapio pick up the wor dishonest. We take the two stories of the last few days. And now hillary in the emails. Both of their brands whether they like it or not, untruthful versus unstable and dangerous. You know, just more support points owning the brand. But is there Something Else in there . By the way, there would have to be something very sound biting. The difference between the two what happened to trump here. The average person at home would go, did he suggest something versus, emails and mushy and foundation and i glaze over and i lean back. Maybe nothing. Both of them were proof points of the big problems each candidate have. The difference is. Trumps is very, very, very sexy. I dont know if thats the right word. You can put your arms around it. This is more the clintons, what are they doing . Willie, see if you agree with me on this. The clinton camp, we couldnt reveal emails. Emails could be revealed where theyre basically saying the Clinton Foundation through the secretary of state is going to arrange for the king of sweden to buy rhode island, the back door deal. The Trump Campaign couldnt get off a dime to go after it. Theyre so incompetent. Donald trump tried yesterday. Hes been criticized for not seizing on these stories for any other Political Campaign and overshadowed by some of the comments he made. But i think what you have to find in these emails is a donor to the Clinton Foundation influencing United States policy through the state department. The one we saw yesterday was a billionaire. Being introduced to the ambassador of lebanon and not directly through secretary clinton. That doesnt mean theres not more in there and there will be more emails that come up. You have to find a direct correlation to money to the foundation and influencing the way Hillary Clinton made policy. Were not seeing that. Lebanese billionaire never met the you got the name of the ambassador. Meanwhile, donald trump is denying reports that his campaign got a talking to from the United States secret service regarding his comment about Second Amendment people stopping clinton from appointing judges. Which many interpreted as a call for violence. Cnn reported the secret service had more than one krvegconvers with the Trump Campaign about his rhetoric. Then reuters reported a federal official had said the secret service did not formally speak to the Trump Campaign about his comment. Trump tweeted, reuters Just Announced the secret Service Never spoke to me or my campaign and made up story by cnn is a hoax. Totally dishonest. Last night trump railed against the medias coverage of his comment. What i said was absolutely. Everybody was there. They heard it. They thought it was fine. Rudy giuliani was there. He defended it this morning and said it was absolutely fine and what were talking about is political power. Tremendous political power to save the Second Amendment. Tremendous. You look at the power they have in terms of votes and thats what i was referring to, obviously thats what i was referring to. I would actually say that the media is almost as crooked as crooked Hillary Clinton. I mean that. I mean, look at the way they cover that story yesterday. Was that disgusting. Was that disgusting . And, by the way, we have our Second Amendment. We need our Second Amendment protected. Words can have tremendous consequences. Yesterday, we witnessed the latest in a long line of casual comments from donald trump that cross the line. His casualcruelty to a gold star family. His casual suggestion that more countries should have Nuclear Weapons and now his casual violence. Every single one of these incidents shows us that donald trump simply does not have the temperament to be president and commander in chief of the United States. So, rick tyler, this is the kind of story that in the republican primary worked for donald trump. He could Say Something. He could say the media overplayed his hands and supporters and rally around him. Is it different this time around for him . I dont think so on his comment. I agreed on the gold star comment. The problem here is the Second Amendment. Second amendment supporters and gun owners like myself, we dont view ourselves as honoring the Second Amendment, because we would like to insight violence on others. Protect our selves and our families from being the victims of violence. So, the comment doesnt make any sense. The other thing, the reason trump is from a political practitioners point of view is getting in trouble with this comment is because he has violence in the past. So, it left an opening for the Clinton Campaign to go after it and they exploited it and thats all everybody is talking about. By the way, this story is stepping on what is now what i think is a very big story and a very clear line is the Clinton Foundation and the state department were very closely tied together. When barack obama wanted Hillary Clinton or asked her to be the secretary of state, it was dick luger and the Relations Committee who said you have all these relations with people all over the world and there is conflict of interest. Well set up all these fire walls and it wont be a problem. As soon as she is in the state department, you see this email from the Clinton Foundation to the secretary of states office, cheryl mills and saying, hey, look, we need to help this big donor of the Clinton Foundation out. I think theres a lot more coming. I guess we will wait to see if there is more coming. I want to go back to the Second Amendment. Two things. Before trump joked about the assassination and i would venture to say if we did a focus group of 108 political people and we played that tape, 99 out of 100 would have taken it as trump said. But i want to go back to the first part of what he said. Hillary clinton wants to abolish the Second Amendment. We havent seen that speech yesterday and nobody is calling trump on that. No. I havent seen it. In fact, ive seen her say the opposite. She doesnt want to take away the Second Amendment. What people are concerned about in the Republican Party is that Hillary Clinton would appoint judges who would rule on cases in our view the wrong way. Like the washington case in d. C. That prevented private citizens from keeping firearms on their own property. That is the problem. The problem with donald trump, there is nothing you can do. We have advise and consent in the u. S. Senate so the Judiciary Committee would have the first act and ted cruz sits on that committee and he said he is committed to not allowing activist judges to sit on the court. There is a backstop to getting activist judges appointed to the court. This is sponsored segment called pick on rick. Is it sponsored by mika . No, definitely not. Not today. You were just talk about in the past that donald trump has seemed to insight violence of whatever and the language of his campaign during his campaign has been sometimes off the charts and garnered great attention but to some people there was a very worrisome nugget in an nbc poll that 72 of registered republicans still dont believe barack obama is a citizen of the United States. Does that trouble you at all in terms of just the storyline of legitimacy of this president and the legitimacy of past presidencies . Thats where trump is going when he says it is a rigged election. It is troubling. Look, i worked on the Cruz Campaign and that was an issue in the Cruz Campaign and the way donald trump phrased it. He used the term which was trending on twitter yesterday. Many people are saying, im not concerned about it. But many people are saying. Boy, i hope it doesnt get in ted cruzs way. It does trouble me. The evidence is pretty clear that barack obama was born in hawaii and we should are we talking about this . Lets just stop. You know what, though, this is where we are. The past couple of days for at least for me ive kind of lost. Im losing, im really discouraged. We dont trust our political system. You have a republican nominee joking about i cant even say it, making the horrific joke. Lying about it. Some stooges actually getting up on stage and lying for him. We try and talk about it and talk about how thats just the last thing we need in this conversation. We talk about how both candidates are flawed. We try to be fair and you literally have the republican nominee at this stage of the game tweeting joe in the middle of the day. Like tweeting our show. I mean, it would be really flattering, except that its really scary. One of the top trump surrogates said something to me off the air. Every day they make one of five people is with donald because if he doesnt have a babysitter one of the four or five people, who is going to babysit him if he gets into office . Who is the person who is going to sit next to him at all times with a taser to make sure he doesnt go. The Republican Party has a democrat who is not hinged as their nominee. Willie . Well, i was going to say the babysitter wasnt with him last night then. He said president obama is the founder of isis. That was do we have the clip where he says his name . The president s name. This is incredible. This is where we are. The pivot isnt going to happen. Donald trump is donald trump. He is going to be who he is right to the end. Tweet that. He was watching the show and started tweeting. Think about it. Its pathetic, actually. Its really small. This person is the republican nominee. Im incredibly worried. You say hes unqualified because hes tweeting joe scarborough. You know what i mean. Hes not focused on the right things. I got it. Its beyond repair. And leaders in the Republican Party and the rnc, they should be acting really decisively right now p. Im very worried. What could they do . At least tell the truth. At least tell the truth. And, i mean, try to save their party. Still ahead doesnt mean anything for me. Just a little democrat here. Still ahead on morning joe donald takes on the president over Foreign Policy calling him the founder of isis. And well bring in one of the nations leading Security Leaders opposing donald trump, general michael hayden. Republican congress mng seand reporter for Washington Post bob woodward joins the conversation. Joes band has a gig tonight. Prohibition in new york city. Upper west side. 80th and columbus. Stop by around 8 00, i would say, for great music. Theyre saying 8 30. Its going to be an Amazing Group of people. The band is really good. Donny, you coming . I will be there. Bill karins, you coming . Am i invited . Youre invited. Did you see the tornado in connecticut yesterday . North haven. Only a weak one, but, still, did enough little damage there. Knocked down some trees and also is on the suffolk area on long island. The problems we have out there this morning. Thunderstorms in wisconsin and iowa and Even Minnesota still. The humidity is the big story. We felt it yesterday. All the way to the south. Because its going to be hot and a little more sunny bausen to hartford and washington, d. C. , baltimore. Even a heat warning for the philadelphia area. At nighttime, especially, its not going to cool off and then from kansas city to st. Louis southward. How hot will it feel out there. Temperatures 100 plus and as far as the weekend goes, by the time we get to the weekend, all of the heat heads to the east coast. The hottest of the summer. New york city will feel like 108. D. C. Will feel like 108 on saturday. Make sure you keep that in mind. Leaving you with a shot of new york city. Showers and thunderstorms around during the day today and then the hot weather really builds towards the weekend. Youre watching morning joe. Well be right back. Im going to make this as simple as possible for you. You can go ahead and stick with that complicated credit card that limits where you earn bonus cash back. Or. You can get the quicksilver card from capital one. Quicksilver earns you unlimited 1. 5 cash back on every purchase, everywhere. I shouldnt have to ask. Whats in your wallet . Donald trump held a rally in florida rast night and took on president obama and his Foreign Policy. We unleashed fury all over the middle east and it was a terrible mistake and then obama came in and normally you want to clean up, he made a bigger mess out of it. In many respects, you know, they honor president obama. Isis is honoring president obama. He is the founder of isis. He is the founder of isis. He is the founder. He founded isis. And i would say the cofounder would be crooked and Hillary Clinton, cofounder. You know, recently they asked me a question about the ukraine. I said, wait a minute, crimia was taken during the obama. Were talking about this tough regime. Donald trump doesnt know. I think i know more than all of them because i have common sense. I have common sense. So you hear, what would trump do with ukraine . What does he know about Foreign Policy . Crimia. They didnt say crimia was taken a long time ago. And then they say, would you get it back . If you say no, they say youre weak. Why was it let go . If you say yes, you start world war iii, right . This was taken during the administration of Barack Hussein obama. Okay. He uses the word disgusting a lot and thats just disgusting. Just disgusting. Its reprehensible to say our commander in chief is the founder of isis and then throw the hussein in the end. At this point he should be ashamed of himself. I am embarrassed for him. Its embarrassing at this point. Its not funny any more. Take that comment in a vacuum. Imagine any other candidate had ever said that, that comment alone, which is just part of the fire hose of comments we get from donald trump is astounding. Our main opposition in the world at this point. A group thats chopping off heads that donald trump likes to say. Our president is the founder of that group. There is a case to be made. They got out of iraq too soon and drew a red line in syria and didnt do anything about it and broke libya. When you Say Something like that. It overshadows the case that there is. Three things. A few weeks back or the last several weeks looks like hes cozying up to russia. The last republican nominee for president said that russia was our greatest strategic adversary and i think he was right. Two, these comments from him around isis. Its just confusing. I agree with donny, 100 . And in three, you have serious leaders on a National Security and republican ledger and one will come on the show a little later saying he lacks just about everything you would want in a commander in chief making serious Foreign Policy decisions. Yet, he continues to travel down this path as donny said. This path of ridiculousness. Ill try to raise the bar here and have an intelligent conversation though its hard from that. Now principal at retired general michael hayden. One of 50 republican officials who signed an open letter saying they would not vote for donald trump. He lacks the character, value and experience to be president. And put the countrys well being at risk. Madeline albright, sir, argues he is already doing that right now. Im just wondering, even just hearing those comments we just played for you right now, how would you characterize this candidates abilities on Foreign Policy and keeping this nation safe . Mika, choosing those words corrupts the dialogue. Corrupts what should be a very serious dialogue. Look, willies right. The actions of the Obama Administration and withdrawing from iraq and going to zero. We talked about this on previous shows actually set the conditions for the recovery of al qaeda in iraq, which then became isis. So, there is a very powerful case to be made. But when mr. Trump uses this language to make that case two or three things happen. Number one, he inflames the debate and we dont need the flame, we need cold, rational discussion. Number two, let me say it this way, mika, he insalts his audience. He uses coword to make a valid point. Why does he do that . Does he think his audience could not accept the slightly more complex, the slightly more reasoned message that this president made serious mistakes that led to the creation of isis . Why does he put it this way . To answer with all due respect it looks like the audience is loving it. And perhaps for the moment. But, again, a leader is supposed to elevate us. A leader, a president should be appealing to the better angels of our general, both candidates are scheduled. I dont know whether theyve received a partial intel brief that goes to the presidency for the United States i dont know if it occurred or scheduled to occur. Is there any level of discomfort within you having led the nsa, having led the cia and having sat there with the president of the United States who looks at the full president ial daily briefing. Any level of discomfort in you knowing donald trump will receive a partial intel brief . Well, mike, i guess a little bit. But you know the process is the process. He got the nomination. Frankly, im not concerned much about any briefings that either he or secretary clinton are going to get between now and the actual election. They will be more like seminars. Theyll be labeled secret. Labeled few secrets in there and generalized discussions. But as ive pointed out before, mike, on that wednesday morning after the election, one of these two people are going to get the book. Theyre it going to get the one that president obama gets on that wednesday morning, as well. You know what, mike, let me give you another concern. Not that mr. Trump might blurt something out. The political penalties for doing that, i think, will be very, very severe. Put the legal questions aside. Im more concerned about something a little more subtle. Mr. Trump has a habit of saying i heard people say i know. And i think we all kind of treat that now with more than one grain of salt. But will he have more legitimacy when he makes those kinds of statements after having received a classified briefing . Will Many Americans now assume, he must have been told that in that session rather than my assumption right now, hes making it up. When donald trump says some of the things he says, were asked to blow them off. When he talks about the Second Amendment thing. Hes making a joke, its a throw away. The founder of isis, im sure hell blow past that, as well. Can you speak to the commander in chiefs point of view of the words and rhetoric and how theyre heard around the world . Willie, its incredibly critical. Multiple audiences when a president or someone who might be president speaks. The american public, our friends, our adversaries are all looking for messages inside those broad comments. And, so, when youre imprecise or inconsistent or inaccurate, it confuses everyone and it temps those who would oppose us and it just scares the daylights out of those who are our friends. No, it has consequences during the campaign. You dont have to wait to postelection. Given the grave analysis of this candidate that you have put forward, i now want to talk about the potential for Hillary Clintons campaign to run into some trouble here. Ill just sort of read some short notes here out of wall street journal. Mrs. Clinton didnt turn over some 33,000 emails and she claimed were about personal matters but becomes more doubtful with each new email discovery. The fault will lie with mrs. Clintons willful deception and gross negligence of handling official state business that have left her open for an october surprise. How worried are you that this election could be turned upside down because of that issue . Well, i mean, its a serious concern, as well, mika. You may have noticed in that letter from the 50 of us, none of u endorsed secretary clinton in the letter and, in fact, the letter carefully points out that a lot of us would definitely not be voting for secretary clinton, despite our discomfort with mr. Trump. Mika yeah. The secretary had two years to prepare for Chris Wallaces question about ten days ago post director comeys investigation. And she gets asked the obvious question and gives an answer that earns her four pinocchios the next day from the Washington Post. So, i have concerns, not just about character, but about competence in terms of answering what would have been an obvious question. You have two candidates you have serious concerns about. I do. Mika, one more footnote on that letter. A lot of us have been identified in the letter as republicans. Actually, a lot of us dont have a Strong Political identity. Myself included. I would not label myself as a republican. We simply have served in a republican administration. Thats what joined us together. So, its a fairly political letter with an apolitical message. Where does that leave you in the voting booth . I mean it leaves me perhaps skipping the article two question at the top of the balt and paying a lot of attention to the article one question on the ballot. Basically the entire show was on the what happens with the president and the box of Nuclear Codes in terms of there is somebody next tahim and he has the codes in his pocket and a sixminute interval he has where it is pretty much his call. Im simplifying this to launch the weapon. Can you fairly quickly articulate what is imaginable if donald trump and Hillary Clinton. What that math is as far as the person next to him who has the box. The codes in his pockt and he or she has a sixminute interval to make the call on their own. We set that system up, donny, for speed and decisiveness in the face of an incoming attack. I mean, back to the math of the cold war, you only had a certain number of minutes to get your missiles off before they would be destroyed in an incoming attack. So, the architecture is for speed and the presumption that the president making the decision is the man you want making that decision. Any check and balance at that point or just 100 commander in chiefs call . There would not be a check or a balance at that point without creating what in normal times, donny, would be a constitutional crisis in terms of civilian control of the armd forces. Okay, quickly. General hayden, anything in the coming weeks that donald trump could say or do, address some of the issues that could cause you and some of your comrades to change your mind . I think the presumptive answer, herald, is no. We actually sat on the idea of the letter for more than a few weeks. Hoping that we would see some tacking that would make us at least more comfortable and more hopeful. We didnt see it and we decided to go with the letter, which does have retired general michael hayden, thank you very much. Id vote for him. I know. On that point, herald, hes not changing. And Republican Leaders know that. Its clear. The moment he won the nomination, nothing, nothing the movement, the moment didnt take over him and love of country did not take over him. Love of self and brand is whats driving him. Youre talking about donald trump now. Lets not knock love ofself. Still ahead on morning joe. Im trying to laugh this morning. Its hard. Washington post bob woodward will join the conversation. Were back in a moment. Did you read every word . No, only lawyers do that.

Gillian turner hes been talking about the option of using a Nuclear Weapon against our western european allies. Max boot this is not somebody who should be handed the Nuclear Codes. Charles krauthammer you have to ask yourself, do i want a person of that temperament controlling the Nuclear Codes . And as of now, id have to say no.

I was surprised to see a tenpoint gap. We havent started yet. We havent started any ads. Shes spending a fortune on ads. Another day and yet another poll shows Hillary Clinton with a serious advantage in the swing state. Two polls in pennsylvania showed her up by at least 10 over donald trump the day before. Clinton is leading trump in philadelphia and surrounding suburbs while trump excels in the western and central parts of the state. And the new Marquette Law School poll of wisconsin shows Hillary Clinton over the 50 mark leading by 15 points. That reflects an 11point swing since july. So, rick tyler, what do you make of these numbers . Im not surprised so much over wisconsin, pennsylvania, i could see being Trump Country in some ways. The problem for donald trump, florida is going to be a big, big deal. He has to win states like pennsylvania, which hes trailing by almost ten points. He has to then win ohio, which is more like four points. If he loses those three, it just doesnt even seem possible. It seems barely possible if he loses florida. I think well know early on Election Night whether this will be a route or not. I think if im trump, im feeling very bullish over florida and ohio. Conventions and we all know the droppings he left last week or so to be in the margin of error, i think its good news for trump. And he gets massive crowds. I guess you dont know if that translates. That was one of the most ignorant things ive ever heard. A lot of the fox people. The polls dont make sense because he gets big crowds. Polls are based on a sample that dictates 100 million plus people and trump will turn out 10,000, 15,000 people wherever you go. Hes a great entertainer and puts on a great show. It has nothing to do with polls. I mean, these are People Holding trump signs and, you know, i dont think theyre going to see a circus. I dont think theyre going to see a show. Just because people are coming out to see a rally, does not, that is not indicative of a sample. Rick. Donny is right about that. Big crowds dont necessarily mean people turn out the polls. The problem with Donald Trumps campaign is he doesnt have a mechanism. Turnout mechanism. The other is advertising and the other is datadriven targeting. He has been successful without all of these but the Clinton Campaign has all those things in spades and those are worth a few points. If youre looking at florida being within one point the person who has a turnout machines the one who doesnt can have a significant advantage.
