by but they trusted he's telling them like it is. they want to hear it. >> he gave out lindsey graham's cell phone number and asked people to call the senator? >> reporter: yeah, and i could not hear on the phone but people were saying it gets to a lindsey graham cell phone number that says he's not available right now. i u imagine that won't. be his number for long. >> he will probably be getting a new cell phone number. we get this other new poll out finding donald trump comfortably right there at the top in second place in the iowa caucus race. scott walker is the lead. we have the des moines register hitting him hard today in an editorial. his comments about john mccain were not offensive but disgraceful. it said he's become the distraction with traction feckless blow hard. trump's response to this is what? >> reporter: he says bring it on. i'm getting lots of criticism, but i don't care because i'm going to make this country great again. he doesn't really seem phased by criticism. he will fight back lash out. the theme of this speech is i win and no one else does. he said that over again. so i don't think he particularly cares about the criticism unless had he says i'm better than that. >> jane tim in south carolina thank you so much. also want to move on to this story developing out of pittsburgh. a a wide ranging speech from president obama. it was delivered at the convention for the veterans of foreign wars. the president thanked the vets for the service and honored the service members shot and killed in tennessee last week. >> we endure because the freedoms and values you protected are now defended by a new generation. america is just like our five patriots who gave their lives in chattanooga. as a grateful nation we must stand up for them and honor them now and forever. >> chris jansing joins me live from the white house. what more did the president say about veterans care at va hospitals nationally? >> reporter: a as you know this has been a political firearm. but the republicans haven't let up. they say the president hasn't done enough. the president said, look, we still have a long way to go but he endures the va secretary and says great progress has been made. take a listen. >> today the va is handling millions more appointments inside and outside the va and delivering more care. on average veterans are waiting just a few days for an appointment and that's all good news. veterans continue to tell us ha that once they get through the door, the care is often very good. >> it didn't take long for republicans to fire back. they are pushing a bill that is going to come up next week, which is the veterans accountability act. they think not enough heads have rolled and they want to give the va secretary the authority to fire any employee for misconduct. in addition to that it's worth noting that the president talked about the iran deal and looked at it through the lens of his philosophy of doing everything you possibly can in lieu of boots on the ground, in lieu of combat in lieu of war. so use this opportunity there to make that case again, as you well know. we are just inside the beginning of the 60-day period for congress to renew the nuclear deal. >> chris jansing at the white house for us, thank you. a programming note to pass along. it's a concern where the policy stands in this country about veterans care issues. in about 30 minutes, i'm going to speak with captain charlie plum a prisoner of war with john mccain. we'll get his thoughts the way donald trump has handled comments. donald trump leads another poll but the pundits predict it won't last. with recent comments about mccain and war hero status shs we see a surge continuing or could it gbe the beginning of the end for trump's presidential campaign now that certain newspapers are coming out against him? it's the subject of the bing pulse question. who is right, the pundits or poll numbers? go to our page and let us know what you think. you can add another number to the candidates running for the republican presidency of 2016. i believe it's 17 now. the latest is ohio governor john kasich kasich. today he spoke about the need for america to overcome its challenges. >> here's how we have done it by staying together not by dividing each other, but by staying together with our eyes on the horizon. with our eyes on the horizon about the future. >> let me correct myself. it's the 16th candidate to jump in. correct? >> reporter: correct yes, we're still waiting on gilmore. >> let's talk about how the governor is planning to distinguish himself now that he is in it and how he can do it because everybody says the only way to get to 1600 pennsylvania avenue is through ohio. so he has a good start in that way. >> it's the only way to 1600 pennsylvania avenue. the question for kasich is going to be can he get through this incredibly crowded republican primary. trump is relevant here because he's overshadowing all of the republican contenders. this is supposed to be kasich's big day, but. you have trump down in south carolina also making headlines. so for kasich he ran through his biography in a long rambling speech. e he had notes but no prepared text. e he talked about his time balance ing balancing the budget in the mid-1990s. that's going to be a a pitch he's making to conservative voters. he also has a message on social welfare that's distinct for most of the rest of the field. he talks about the working poor, mentally ill, people in prison drug addicted and how the gop needs to change its approach there. he pushed through that medicaid expansion here in ohio. he didn't just decide to sign off, he fought with a republican-controlled legislature to get that through. that's something that could cause him a lot of problems in a place like iowa. that has advisers focused on new hampshire. he's going to be one of several people staking hope there is. you have jeb bush and chris christie, who is taking his entire campaign there. kasich's advisers think they need jeb bush to make a big mistake if they are going to break out of the pact. >> he had had some endearing moments talking about his family and loved ones who are highly supportive of him. great to see you, thank you. so as we just mentioned, president obama commented earlier on the shootings in chattanooga, tennessee, where today there is a new twist in the investigation. the fbi has searched an apartment for clues. the gunman may have shared his plans with others. on the left side of your screen, we're give. ing you a live look at the capitol. that's where flags are at half staff for the five victims of the shooting. on the right side, a loif look at the white house. reverse that. earlier the president issued an order for flags at military posts and embassies to be at half staff as well. a family spokesman saying the gunman held some anti-american views. joining us is sara live from tennessee. >> reporter: it led them last night to search an apartment about 20 minutes from here. they want to know if the two friends had any idea what he was planning. we're also learning more from authorities a about writings they discovered. they are rambling pages. a family representative says he was vulnerable. that's when the extremists views enter in. federal officials saying they are looking at somebody who suffered some mental troubles. the family representative saying the family knew that he was trouble, that he was struggling but didn't think he was a a threat to the community. state and city officials continue to praise first responders who put a stop to the rampage. >> we don't want this attacker to achieve any of his goals and part of that is i think he wanted to tear the fabric of our community and what we're going to do is put it back stronger. >> back here live at the scene of the first attack what started as a makeshift memorial you can see me has now changed that thousands of people have been coming out to see to leave behind american flags. notes, crosses in tribute to the five fallen service members. we have seen people break down while placing flags in the ground. we have seen military members in dress uniform stand stoically and salute. this is a very visual representation of the grief and the shock that this community is feeling here. back to you. >>

experiencing triple-digit temperatures are baking tens of millions from texas to new england today. scorching temperatures ranging from 103 to 107 from dallas to savannah. in new york city crews have been working through the night to restore power to residents after 20,000 lost electricity amid-hot temperatures. the heat won't let up for much of the midwest, which will see the hottest temperatures coming up this weekend. because of this weather, we have two videos of people trying to res rescue kids who were locked inside of hot cars. the first is from the kansas city area. you can see employees of a shoe store trying to smash a car window. there was a 2-year-old girl inside and witnesses say she was drenched with sweat. it was 91 degrees outside and certainly much hotter inside that car. you can hear them banging on the window trying to get. in. eventually they were able to rescue the girl and brought her inside the store to cool her down. according to the manager the couple who said the girl was their niece asked if nurns insurance was going to pay for their broken window. they were ticketed for child endangerment. and a similar scene near philadelphia. this time it was police officers trying to smash their way into an suv. there was a baby and a young girl locked inside 90 degree temperatures. the mom accidentally locked her keys in the suv and called 911. the kids were rescued and are okay. this was the story that was so astonish inging the moment caught on live tv. mick fanning, a legend in his sport, getting attacked by a huge shark and not just once. fans watching this all live on tv worldwide as the surfing legend was dragged from his board by a great white. now fanning is back home and reliving his experience. bill neely has more on the fight for his life in his own words. >> reporter: good afternoon, thomas. the more you see that the more you realize what a near death experience this really was. mick fanning is the most talked about athlete in the world right now. physically untouched after that close shave with the shark. mentally, he says, a complete mess and he's lucky to be alive. >> i'm somehow perfectly fine. >> reporter: he's a surfing legend, a world champion, but nothing prepared him for this. >> i felt something significant. the thing was so powerful. just moved so fast. i was just trying to maneuver my way around it. >> reporter: fanning has been reliving that moment. >> the most vivid part is just see g seeing the main fin. at that stage was just screaming. i don't know why it didn't bite. >> reporter: as a wave blocked the pictures, the shark attacked again. >> it just was right there and punched it. i turned around and it was on my back and waiting for it. i had my fist cocked. i was just waiting for it to attack the leg. >> reporter: as he swam for his life, a a fellow surfer swam to help. >> i saw him start to get kind of man handled by the shark. and then the wave came between us and i started paddling for him. >> reporter: but the shark still circling, fanning escaped on to a jet ski. >> someone was looking out for me. to walk away from a shark attack without a scratch on you, it's a miracle really. just sort of more of an emotional mental trauma right now. >> shark experts say that was almost certainly a great white shark. most probably a juvenile. mick fanning is a very shaken man, but he says he wants to get back in the water soon. he was asked if he had a message for the shark. he says thanks for not eating me. >> bill thank you. coming up who is right about donald trump,

monday hitting donald trump for his comments about senator john mccain. today trump hit back calling senator graham an idiot, doing so in the home state of graham south carolina. a statement from the campaign manager said donald trump continues to show hourly that he's ill prepared to be commander-in-chief. the two people most excited about donald trump's candidacy are barack obama and hillary clinton, because of trump's bombastic campaign we aren't talked about obama's deal with iran or hillary clinton's plans to continue obama's failed national security agenda. the controversy surrounds trump made on saturday where he questioned john mccain's status as a war hero. he says the media is distort inging the words. here's a portion of the events and his comments. >> he's not a war hero. he's a a war hero because he was captured. i like people that weren't captured. i hate to tell you. he's a war hero because he was captured. and i believe perhaps he's a war hero. >> joining me now is captain charlie plum a former navy fighter pilot, former p.o.w. with john mccain. thank you for joining me. donald trump went on to say if somebody is a prisoner, i consider them a war hero other than bergdahl. and i like the people that don't get captured. i respect the people that do get captured. i want to play one more time what trump had to say on fox last night about all of this. >> i have respect for senator mccain. i used to like him a lot. i supported him. i raised a lot of many money for his campaign against president obama. if there was a misunderstanding i would totally take that back but hopefully i said it correctly and certainly shortly thereafter i said it correctly. >> so just tell us a little bit about what you and senator mccain went through as p.o.w.s and then explain the experience you both had. >> sure, john mccain was my instructor. i was shot down three or four months later. clearly the most injured prisoner of war i ever saw. he had several broken bones and they were twisting them to torture the guy. yet he was one of the strongest guys i knew in that prison camp. the whole idea that we're redefining hero here john never called himself a hero nor did i. the 591 guys with us never called themselves e heroes. so to have this big thing of chasing each other around by the tail and not focusing on the real targets that we should be. >> it seems like a big brouhaha. my dad was a vietnam vet and said the same thing when it comes to hero classification that you don't refer to each other like that. you did your service and do what's expected of you and then you move on. but my dad said about donald trump when i asked him specifically about mccain that he didn't serve and shouldn't be bringing this up. because of that my dad's opinion, that's just one person but your own opinion as a vietnam vet, do you feel the same way? those who haven't served don't have business commenting. >> i think your dad is right. trump has paid for his right to speak and i think your dad and john earned our right to speak. so you really have to factor that in when you consider comments like this. >> policy concerning the va how we're treating our vets when they are coming home from war and the services that they should be privy do and what they are not getting, how we're failing them currently. do you agree with that? >> to a certain extent. the think the va has gotten a big rap. any big organization is going to have challenges. i had the opportunity of choosing my health care from three different sources. i'm a retired navy officer. i can go to the navy hospital. i can get civilian care. i choose to go to the va. i have found more dedicated professional health care people doctors and nurses and staff and everything else at the va than any system i have ever seen. so va is okay. do we have some challenges yes. should we fix them yes. >> it's a real pleasure to speak with you. thank you for your time. i do appreciate it. >> thank you. jonathan allen joins us now. i want to play something that harry reid said this morning and i'm going to get your response. it's about donald trump and the original issue that got him in some hot water, immigration. >> when trump insulted mccain, republicans couldn't denounce him fast enough. but when he called immigrants rapists, there was silence. no republicans can name a single way in which they disagree with trump's policies on immigration. >> when we hear and and lindsey graham's campaign manager is talking today because of trump being in south carolina and taking down lindsey graham there, but the people benefitting are barack obama and hillary clinton. democrats are the ones that benefit from trump and his political campaign. >> absolutely. the two people speaking the truth here are harry reid and lindsey graham's campaign manager in terms of this being a situation where as harry reid said republicans aren't distancing themselves as fast on immigration as they are on the john mccain issue, which is less of a policy issue and more of a personality matter more of a question of how you view john mccain's service. at the same time, i think the campaign manager is right, democrats should be kicking back with the popcorn and hoping this movie never ends. >> it's going to continue. we have a long way to go. this is a marathon, not a sprint. it looks like donald trump leading in the polls is going to be keeping us all entertained politically for awhile to come. jonathan allen, thank you. we're asking you to weigh in on our pulse question on whether donald trump can remain the presidential front runner. we want to know what you have to say say. who is right on donald trump: pundits or the polls? you're pretty much split down the middle. so keep your votes coming in. 50/50, everybody. i like how this is going. let's continue to watch the pulse. we'll bring you new information on that. we switch gears to the anti-abortion group has released a second undercover video of a planned parenthood video discussing the sale of fetal tissue after an abortion. we should warn you you may find this disturb inging. it's a heavily edited video. they are going. back and forth with two akctors recording this over what the group claims to be the price of fetal tissue. >> don't lowball it. tell me what you -- that's way too low. that's way too low. >> we're not in it for the money. we don't want to be in the position of accused of selling tissue. >> so later in the video the doctor jokingly talks about wanting a lamborghini. >> it's been years since i talked about compensation. if it's still low, we can talk about it. >> planned parenthood released a statement in response to this latest video saying planned parenthood cannot confirm the awe then tisty of this tape and nobody can tell what was discussed because of o the edit editing. the original footage has not been made available. what we see on the tape is a woman who says we're not in it for the money and any money must be related to reimbursement for costs. the transcript shows the official repeatedly deny there was any policy to do anything but to cover costs. we have been. following this story. how damaging is this? no matter how you feel about the issue of abortion and whether you are pro choice or pro life that is damning and certainly of concern. >> it's not good for the organization, but planned parenthood has been engaged in a fight for its life from opponents of abortion. they are used to being an under investigation and targeted. this particular group spent three years. they have thousands of hours of footage every week. planned parenthood is in a vulnerable position because it's the largest provider of services in this country. it's a target for folks who oppose abortion. it also receives fund inging from the federal government for nonabortion related services like std testing and contraception. for a long time groups have been trying to get the government to defund planned parenthood. this is going to be another arrow in their quiver against the organization. >> let's talk about that group. it's called the center for medical progress. explain what their relationship is with planned parenthood and also their plans to release more videos. >> this is a group that previously was not heard of but had very familiar faces behind it. some people have raised concerns about it was misleading the irs about their purposes. on the board of the organization is troy newman who is in anti-abortion circles. and also involved with the group in live action. you may remember secret videos by james o'keefe, that was with the founder of this organization organization. so there's a an interconnected web here. also apparently working in tandem with politicians. this is is a three-year effort that's been going on. >> the attorney general said they have opened an investigation into the planned parenthood clinics in that state. >> there are several states that announced investigations. this is again, in the context of past investigations of planned parenthood. usually it says these are politically motivated investigations. the question is whether there have been violations of federal or state law. there are also two house committees that are convening investigations on this. the question is whether there are violations that say you cannot profit from the sale of human tissue for medical research purposes. the other is you cannot change procedures. >> erin, thank you for breaking all of this down. i appreciate it. coming up nearly two years after a black unarmed charlotte man was shot by a white police officer, the trial in his death is now under way. i'm going to speak with the attorney for the family of jonathan ferrell. that when we come

medicare plans. the trial is under way for police officer charged in the shooting death of an unarmed black man in north carolina. 24-year-old jonathan ferrell was looking for help after a car accident in september of 2013. he staggered to a nearby home but the woman called 911 to report a possible break in. an officer responded to the call but wound up shooting the football player ten times. he was charged with voluntary manslaughter, but his lawyers will argue self-defense. he's pleaded not guilty. an attorney representing the parents of jonathan ferrell joins us now. explain how the family is doing. this has been a difficult couple years for them. >> it's been an extremely time for them over the last few days but they are adjusting the best they can and plan to stay in charlotte and attend the trial. >> when we talk about the trial and the the defense of the officer, what do you make of how the lawyers will argue self-defense? >> well i don't think they really have much choice. there's no doubt that the officer fired the fatal shots so the only question for the jury is whether he was justified in doing so. the only justification that they will be able to offer is he posed some type of serious risk to the officer. >> one thing to point out is jonathan's mom forgives the officer but needs to be punished. what do you think that means? >> i think there has to be accountability. there has to be accountability on both sides of the law. when an officer takes the life of a citizen without justification, he has to stand accountable for his actions just like

and the frankly, all of them i spoke with said they did not see that as an issue. they saw it as politicians being politicians. and they think that trump despite him maybe saying things inarticulately sometimes will be a better leader than the other republican candidates throughout right now. take a listen to some of that sound. >> i think thought donald trump was fantastic. he seems to me to be the only candidate this addresses the issues, is not afraid to speak his mind. he talks about what needs to be talked about which is something that most politicians just dance around and don't really address the issue. forinstance, immigration. and the porous borders we have. >> reporter: he's really addressing those people who do not trust the establishment, do not trust politicians, do not trust the news media. and he's going out and saying i'm the only one telling you the truth an i'm the only one that can get things done. look at me. i'm a hugely successful businessman. i'm a billionaire. nobody will do better deals with china and i'm the one right for the white house and he certainly if not appealing to a large segment of the population, he is appealing to a portion of the republican base who feels underrepresented right now. >> katy tur there in south carolina for us great to see you. thank you. joining me now from washington, phillip rucker, reporter for "the washington post." phillip, let's talk about the south carolina performance because there donald trump gave out lindsey graham's cell phone number and asked people to call it which apparently he was slammed with phone calls from people that were there in attendance. do you think that donald trump is really adding to the campaign of the gop to take back the white house? i mean his honesty campaign of telling it like it is. >> yeah. you know it's pretty remarkable. what happened earlier today, the popular governor of ohio john kasich announced his presidential campaign in ohio and a message that's what the republicans want to be promoting now, empathy, compassion giving people the right to rise and nobody's paying attention to that because trump is out there giving out a senator's cell phone number. it is a remarkable turn in this campaign. >> well, and you make a great point because the ohio governor john kasich gave a great speech introducing himself, his family. >> yeah. >> his intentions for what he would want to do coming from the state of ohio and talking about policy and important things. but here looking at the poll numbers and now things will change with kasich officially in this race and he'll get added but we look at monmouth university, once again, finding trump comfortably in second place coming to the iowa caucuses. however, the des moines register hit him hard in an editorial saying the comments of mccain disgraceful and said that he's become a distraction with traction. a feckless blowhard. they didn't hold back. but this is not something that -- we have seen this in prior election cycles with certain names but they needed money to keep them going. trump can stay in this because he's got the cash to support himself. >> absolutely. he can stay in this for a long time. he can stay on the debate stage. i expect that the debate next month in cleveland is going to be all about trump. it's going to be what does trump say and the other candidates respond to him? he is defining the republican party primary at this moment which is dangerous for the gop. this is a party that wants to be looking ahead to the future talking about some of these policy issues talking about hillary clinton. it's been probably a week now since there's been much attention to hillary's e-mails and benghazi and the attacks of the republicans want to be waging so it's still the summer very early. i'm curious to see the polls later this week about whether trump has really taken a hit or not from the mccain comments. >> are we too stuck in the political paradigm to think that maybe donald trump is flipping the script and changing it all up? >> well maybe. i mean he's tapping into something. you mentioned that des moines register editorial earlier. that was a devastating editorial and one in "wall street journal" sunday night. and, you know this stuff might be helping trump. >> right. >> he can run against the media. and he put out a lengthy statement on e-mail this morning responding to the des moines register attacking the newspaper saying the reporters aren't covering the events fairly and a segment of this electorate that will respond positively. >> thank you. >> you bet. we're asking you the bing pulse question of the day, who is right on donald trump, the pundits or the polls? 43% agree with the pundits, 57% agree with the polls. now, at last check, it was 49% agreeing with the pundits. but have your voice heard. the pulse is live. it's been fluctuating but we'll continue to watch this. go to pulse.msnbc.com. we have breaking news in the race for the white house come 2016. as we discussed, ohio governor john kasich becomes the 16th republican candidate to take a stab at the presidency. joining front-runners jeb bush scott walker, donald trump and a dozen more members of the gop. now, the popular ohio cover nor inside the buckeye state is well-known there. not so much outside state lines but today he spoke about the need for america to overcome its challenges. >> and here's how we have tunnel it. by staying together. not by dividing each other. but by staying together with our eyes on the horizon, with our eyes on the horizon, about the future. >> so msnbc political correspondent casey hunt on the campaign trail with the governor and filed this report. >> reporter: good afternoon, thomas. we just wrapped up john kasich's announcement he's 16th republican presidential con tender to formally enter this race. of course, he is being in some ways overshadowed by donald trump with that event trump's having in south carolina today that trump himself seems to be overshadowing most of what is one of the biggest republican fields in history. kasich giving a rambling speech here reintroducing himself to many americans. some people know him from his time as a congressman in the 1990s. we focused on balancing the federal budget the experience and tested and spent ten years doing that. this in and of itself a contrast with trump. kasich giving a little bit of a rambling off the cuff no teleprompter speech and typical of someone with a known to have a prickly personality and there are questions. first, whether or not he can control that personality. does he have the discipline to see this campaign through? but second whether or not he can break through in what's a really really crowded field. the advisers say privately they see marco rubio as contenders and there's questions of whether or not he can raise enough money and likely to make a stand in new hampshire and which is pretty crowded. and really thomas the advisers privately acknowledge that he is going to need jeb bush to make a major mistake to be able to float to the top of this pack. thomas? >> crowded field. one more in it. kasie, thank you. we are tracking developments and news this hour on the death of sandra bland. family and friends paying final respects to her in illinois. authorities say bland committed suicide in her cell following her arrest earlier this month. dash cam video of that traffic stop is expected to be released today. msnbc's adam reiss got an inside look of bland's jail cell with the sheriff. explain what you were able to see. what was it like inside the cell? >> reporter: it's called a tank, thomas. it is about 15 feet by 20 feet and actually made for several people to be in there. not just one person. and the reason she was in there, the sheriff says is because she was argumentative and combative at the traffic stop. coming in on that friday afternoon, she was considered a high risk inmate. put in that cell for her own protection and protection of several other females in a cell across the way from her. the sheriff as you said gave me a tour just about an hour ago and described exactly how she was found three days later on that monday. >> twisted it up like a ligature and had tied one end of it around the brace and one around her neck and then she was dragged or she lumped on this side of this partition. >> reporter: now, the d.a. is treating this as a murder investigation. he said the family has given him valid reasons to believe she had everything to live for. she had just gotten a job. no reason to believe she would want to kill herself. he said a key piece of evidence is that trash bag and he wants the know are there anybody else's fingerprints on it. thomas? >> also, adam we know that the dash cam video coming out shortly and waiting to see what that reveals. more about this case certainly, a mystery that needs to be solved for the bland family. msnbc's adam reiss there for us in texas. thank you. we told about president obama's address to the veterans of foreign wars convention and covered a variety of topics and perhaps one of the most notable on the americans detained in iran where he called for their release, naming them one by one. >> we are not going to relent until we bring home the americans who are unjustly detained in iran. journalist jason rezaian should be released. pastor saeed abedini should be release ds. amir hekmati should be released. iran needs to help us find robert levinson. >> the president went on to defend the iran nuclear deal. coming up we'll take you back to chattanooga, tennessee, as the terror investigation continues there. did the gunman discuss the plans before the shootings?

>> mitch mcconnell monday on hillary clinton's candidacy for president and the secretary of state fought back. she said the gender card is played whenever republicans vote down issues like equal pay for women saying quote, these aren't just women's issues. they're economic issues that drive growth and affect all americans. anyone that doesn't get that doesn't understand what our lives are like. joining me here in studio is karen finney, senior spokesperson for the clinton campaign. great the see you as always. >> you, too. >> do you think that mitch mcconnell believe this is or playing to the base right now? >> not the first time he said it. as he pointed out, he said it about his former person he ran against. i think actually his record suggests that he does believe some of this. as hillary said in the statement, every single time they vote against things like paid family leave or equal pay, they are voting against something that is an economic growth strategy and they're supporting these ideas that we don't -- those kind of things either don't support our economy or don't seem to believe in them. >> one thing let's recall in that kentucky election is that the opponent was a clinton democrat and wouldn't say she was an obama democrat and why mitch mcconnell was able to beat her. >> well, there were a lot of things going on in that race certainly. >> yes. >> here's what i think is important and be important in this election and i think we'd love to hear from many of the republican candidates on this mine, do they understand there's an mckenzie report 1970 to current times we are talking about 3.5 trillion in gdp growth because of women entering the workforce. saying it's a growth strategy these are not soft issues which women's issues tend to be you know, soft issues, they're really not. if you don't understand and you don't understand that the u.s. is falling behind in family friendly practices, that you have 50% of adult parents would say they've had to pass up a job because there weren't policies that would help them with the family issues. affecting men and women. if you have a sick child at home or a cost of child care going up, you can't necessarily afford to take a job costing you more to have the job to pay for child care and then less -- >> a vicious cycle. >> also that's less money in the family income that's less stability for families so again, i think there's a ten tendency to think of soft issues rather than understand as hillary said this is a growth strategy for this country. >> let's talk about growth strategy and switching gears to donald trump. yeah. >> that's one way to put it. >> good segue? >> nice. >> topping the polls in first or second place. donald trump was in south carolina today. and he fired off some comments about lindsey graham because graham called him a jackass because donald trump said that john mccain wasn't a war hero but then said he was and then this is how trump responded today after giving out graham's cell phone number. >> so they say they didn't like the way that you know the little -- i'm a little loud. i'm a little too strong for -- they don't like it. and then i watch this idiot lindsey graham on tv today and calls may jackass. he's a jackass. >> you know? >> graham responded saying donald trump continues to show hourly he is ill-prepared to be commander in chief. the two people most excited about donald trump's candidacy are barack obama and hillary clinton. >> hmm. you know -- >> your response to this karen finney spokesperson for hillary clinton and the campaign. >> i will be serious in the answer here because i think donald trump's rhetoric i think is very dangerous. i think the things he said for example, about immigration are pretty despicable. but i think he is a challenge to the republican party and they know it because he is going to challenge all the others running to stand up against some of the rhetoric that we have heard from him. right in any time he goes out and he says some of these things, they have to decide am i going to respond or afraid of angering the base of my party? so, that would be my response. i leave that choice and decision to the republican candidates in this race. i think they were a little bit slow to respond talking about rapists and murderers from mexico. that's what they have to decide in the context of this election. >> so just the context of your tam pain and working for, you like a donald trump? >> we are running our race. thomas. i couldn't help it. i'm sorry. we're focused -- >> is it my hair? >> no no no. i would never compare your hair to donald trump. i promise. i promise. >> he certainly makes it interesting. >> yes. >> the polls, they make it interesting, as well. what we're watching. i say it's a marathon not a sprint and see how it goes. karen finney great the see you in person. >> thank you. we're asking today about donald trump. will he continue to surge in the polls or lose momentum amid criticism because of his recent comments? who has it right in pundits or the polls themselves. take a look at how people have been weighing in and earlier it was pretty split. we had 50-50. well now it's bun did its at 45% and the polls at 55%. pulse is live. check it out for yourself. pulse.msnbc.com and weigh in on the question for the day. all right. so uber is at war with new york city mayor deblasio. a bill to cap the number of cars it operates in the city brought before the city council and uber fired back with this ad. >> often refuse people in minority neighborhoods, uber's there taking more people to and from communities outside manhattan than anyone. but mayor deblasio is pushing the agenda of his big taxi do noers to limit cars and drivers and vital service for thousands of new yorkers may vanish. tell the mayor, don't strand new york. >> okay. so this is not only an issue in new york. it could also become a problem for democratic presidential candidates trying to navigate the new technology with their commitment to government regulation of labor and safety standards. joining me now here on set is mashible's seth figgerman. i have pulled up the uber app to navigate the app together and for people that don't know it is a service where a car will come and pick you up. it is pretty decent and easy to operate. but talk about why this is becoming a problem for democrats. >> sure. i mean, so the app has really taken off like wildfire in new york and other cities but the way that the company operates has raised questions about worker safety worker classification passenger safety. permits, et cetera. so now politicians are trying to both in local and national scope try to figure out how and whether to regulate the application and we have seen hillary tiptoe around it and now deblasio. >> uber is firing back with a feature on its app for new york customers. so typically it's uber t, black, rush. well now they have a deblasio app, the very first thing you get and so when you punch on it it says see what happens. punch on that. it says uber take action. this is what uber will look like in nyc if the bill passes. e-mail the mayor and city council, say no to deblasio's uber and then e-mail now button. and do it right then and there. so they have gotten in everybody's pocket pretty easily and have made it very easy for people to show their displeasure with this. >> sure. this is very much uber's tried and tested playbook. launching a city build up popular support and then as soon as you face regulatory pushback mobilize people through the application or e-mail. >> talk about where they're facing pushback elsewhere. just new york city or international? >> national international. they face pushback in portland florida, in paris, in london. the issue's vary from place to place. here, deblasio's administration kind of using congestion as a trojan horse for worker fairness and passenger safety. >> also for vetting. >> sure. >> right? >> yep. >> a me dollian taxi in new york is a million dollars, correct? >> something like that. >> lobbyists work for the unions representing those taxi drivers. but uber has really eaten into the cost effectiveness of what it is to run a cab. >> and there's a tremendous amount of money from lobbyists and the taxi industry and around the country and around the world existing taxi companies have pushed back at the idea of uber any driver could set up shop without going through that permitting licensing background check process. >> thanks for being here. back with much more after this. s i struggle to sleep at night, and stay awake during the day. this is called non-24. learn more by calling 844-824-2424. or visit your24info.com. i heard i could call angie's list if i needed work done around my house at a fair price. sure can. so i could get a faulty light switch fixed?
