immigration policy. trump would trip the number of immigration officers and most famously make mexico pay for the wall across the southern border. as trump told chuck todd the policy would mean rescinding president obama's executive order on immigration. >> you'll rescind that one, too? the dream act executive order? >> you have to. we have to make a whole new set of standards. >> you're going to split up family, deport children? >> no, keep the families to the. keep the families to the. >> keep them out? >> they have to go. >> what if they have no place to go? >> we will work with them. they have to go. >> we saw with trump's jury duty, kitaty tur join mess from downtown manhattan. take me through donald trump's day in court. >> not katie couric, i get that a lot. donald trump showed up at 9:09 this morning, nine minutes late. paraded up the steps glad handing with a couple of supporter, mostly just greeting the various immediaty outlets that were here saying that he was excited for the day and that his wall would work. when he came out a moment ago for his lunch break, mostly again talking to the people that showed up to cheer him on, a lot of people showed up to cheer him on. even signed a $1 bill at one point. now, the immigration plan that he's propose sd on everybody's minds right now. so far he says he would build that wall with a number of different fees that were raised from visas as well as supporting all undocumented immigrants in this country. the number that we have is 11 million. he says it's up to 30 million undocumented immigrants. if you're going the ask independent policy experts on this they're saying that just deporting that 11 million would cost anywhere between $100 billion and $600 billion. so it's unclear how he's going to pay for that wall and pay for the deportation of all those undocumented immigrants or how he would get it done. we asked him that today but he diplomat answer. and said deflecting to a supporter that was cheering him on. francis? >> nbc's katy tur in lower manhattan. thank you very much as always. joining many we now is former minnesota governor and tim pawlenty's president and also "washington post" political reporter karen testimoimulty. start with you, governor. nbc news and estimates of trump and that plan could cost upwards of $200 billion. your gut reaction to the immigration plan. >> well, a few things about the plan. first of all, he's getting more detailed about his ideas and may be more serious about candidate as operations are becoming more serious. number two, there are certain elements of the plan that will be well received amongst conservatives and a broader audience like the wall and law enforcement and the like. a couple parts are not workable. for example, you know, the idea that we're going to visit america's incompetence on immigration enforcement on young innocent children, if they've been they're 5, 10, 15 years by throwing them out of the country, that's not workable and that's not going to go over well in the intermediate and long term. >> karen, let me read a statement about trump's plan saying, quote, when donald trump first opened his mouth on immigrants and immigration back in june we said that he is not only a bigot he also does not know what the heck he's talking about. today's plan confirms that. so when you consider those words what happened to the republican autopsy of 2013 and becoming a more inclusive party? >> coming out of the 2012 election, the debacle for republicans that led to that autopsy report, the conversation in washington and within the republican party was not if but when the republican party would support some kind of comprehensive over haul of the immigration laws that included, if not a path to citizenship for the estimated 11 million who were here illegally. some kind of path to a legal status, it's really extraordinary the degree to which, i think, now it looks like the pressure on the republican candidates is going to be, you know, who can get tougher on illegal immigration in response to this proposal by donald trump because it is resonating with part of the republican base but i think it's a pretty crucial part. >> all right. to you, governor pawlenty, when it comes to the ground covered in this interview with chuck todd they discussed possible government shut down with planned parenthood funding. >> you don't think there should be a government showdown, shutdown over planned parenthood? >> i wouldn't fund it if they have the abortion going on and it's been a bic factor. they say it's 3%. other people say it's 85%. that's a big difference. so i certainly would look into it. >> would you shut down the government over this dispute? >> i would not fund if they're doing abortions. >> but as you know there could be a stalemate in congress. is it worth shutting down the government over it? >> it's something i would have to think about, to be honest with you. >> when it comes to the gop it appears to be a skichl among them about where a social issues like abortion will fall and will be prioritized, governor. >> well, if you look at the republican and conservative movement it's a coalition. it's a quilt, if you will, that includes social conservative, economic conservative, libertarians, tea party types, defense hawk, chamber of commerce types, and more. so you can't be a successful nominee or a successful candidate for president unless you can appeal across that spectrum. social conservatives remain important but they're not the only voice. marley if you want to win the general election. the planned parenthood issues are important. don't get me wrong. what planned parenthood has been doing with these fetal body parts is outrageous and they should get a consequence for that but it's one piece of a much larger discussion. >> thank you for the time. karen, stay with us. i want to bring you now our bing pulse question of the day, it has to do with donald trump and his appearance on nbc's "meet the press." now on the record with his immigration plan as well as a number of other hot button issues. we're asking you to weigh in at home. after trump's "meet the press" interview do you take him more seriously? the pulse is live and waiting for you to join the conversation. head to pulse.msnbc.com and cast your vote. i want to bring you breaking news. nbc news learned the intelligence community has flagged just over 300 more e-mails for further review. the question is whether they contain any information that is classified. clinton's camp has always maintain i'd it's done nothing wrong and there were no classified markings in any of her e-mails. the state department says they have not been able to confirm the findings that two previously reviewed e-mails contained top secret information. meantime, "the washington post" is reporting the state department has flagged 60 e-mails containing mostly low level classified information. nbc news has not confirmed that report. hillary clinton has lashed out at her republican critics over the controversy. this weekend she even tried to make a joke about it. >> by the way, you may have seen that i recently launched a snapchat account. i love it. i love it. those messages disappear all by themselves. >> nbc news senior political editor mark murray is here with us and karen is back as well. and, mark, we start with you. explain to us the latest story regarding this 305 e-mails. >> the reporting comes from my colleague pete williams. and what has been done is there are 305 e-mails that have been set aside for further review. now, we don't know if they had classified information or what the information actually entailed. this is all part of the inspector general review from the intelligence community to kind of go over the e-mails to see if there was classified information or if that information was classified after the fact. and from a political standpoint this is where the whole e-mail story becomes damaging for hillary clinton in that every little development, every little piece of news ends up seeming almost sinister, ends up advancing the story one way or the other. and even the clinton campaign has admitted it's not going to be for a couple more months until they, one, end up getting a clean bill of health from the fbi, and, two, that benghazi committee hearing in late october. >> karen, you actually wrote something, co-wrote something over the weekend about this especially when it comes to democratic jitter, worries over the issues. once again, worried supporters see signs of a bunker mentality in response to bad news about her e-mail server and other controversies. and they see a candidate who seem strangely blinkered to the threat posed by a lesser known challenger. this last development here, how big a ken for party leaders? >> the concern is that, you know, hillary clinton has promised that this time around she would be running a very open, accessible campaign. now that we have these questions about the e-mails being raised, it does appear that, first of all, they are trying to dismiss it all as a big political exercise when, in fact, it's hard to say that when we're talking about the fbi and justice department prosecutors. the second thing is that they are relying on sort of legalistic sounding defenses. not that the material wasn't sensitive or, you know, shouldn't have been discussed, but that it wasn't marked classified. that is not really the standard the intelligence committee -- the intelligence community looks at. >> what i bring attention to two ways that this e-mail saga can be viewed as far as two clips about the e-mails. the first is from former iowa senator tom harkin saying how this is not a big deal. the second, voters in iowa who told chuck todd it was. listen to both. >> i get around a lot. and people here are not talking about those e-mails. i don't get where this is coming from. >> it does make it seem to me a little bit like she's hiding something. >> you feel like she owes a better explanation? >> absolutely. we're smarter a than that. >> is there a mixed message? >> i think the easiest way to sum this all, francis, too early to tell on the verdict. i kind of in some ways, you can end up having the tom harkin defense saying, you know what, this is a lot like that obama denver debate in 2012 where he obamaed against mitt romney. so much commentary, so much huffing and puffing over a two-week stretch and ultimately it didn't matter all that much. on the other hand, if all of a sudden the fbi doesn't give her a clean bill of health, if this turns into a bigger issue, then all of a sudden that is something that is more than just the denver debate for barack obama. i just don't think we yet know. we have two months to go. >> all right. we will see. "the washington post" and nbc news senior political editor. as always, good to hear from you both. thank you. >> thank you. another busy day for several of the 2016 gop presidential hopefuls vying for voters at the iowa state fair. carly fiorina is addressing a fair at the soap box forum right now. it comes after a day of the hewlett-packard exec took another swipe at donald trump. >> it's not clear to me that donald trump is a republican, first of all, based upon his willingness to run a third-party bid and some of the positions that he's taken. >> wisconsin governor scott walker contended with hecklers as he tried to regain momentum in a state that he once led. kelly o'donnell is following them in iowa and joins me now. walker there certainly feeling the pressure. so what is this strategy in coming there to the iowa state fair? >> reporter: well, the iowa fair is must do for all of these politicians. but it is important for scott walker, primarily because he has been leading in iowa for a long time. he was born in this state. governs some neighboring state. has a real connection to voters here in terms of the issues that he represents. he's both an establishment figure as a sitting governor. he's got credibility with tea party voters. he can connect with sort of the christian conservatives who are very active in a state like this. so he has got to do well here. you can argue he must win iowa. we were with him through a lot of the kind of scuffle and fun that is the iowa fair. part of it is the color and seeing people and part of it is the throng wrapped around scott walker. he had a big crowd at the soap box was predictable because walker attracts protesters wherever he goes, organize and bused in from wisconsin. others activists here? iowa, especially in democratic politics. and there was quite a scuffle between supporters of scott walker and critics of walker. not just in a crowd but at the foot of the candidate himself, here's how he handled it. >> again, unintimidated. i am not intimidated by you, sir, or anyone else out there. i will fight for the american people over and over and over and over again. you want someone who is tested, i'm right here. >> reporter: and while the idea of tangling with a protester might look like bad news, walker and his advisers tried to turn it into that argument that has been a consistent point for him. this notion that he fights and he's had a winning record in his home state. i've had a chance to talk to him in a few different corners here around the fair. he acknowledges that the effect of donald trump is real. he says he's listening to that voter anger. francis? >> kelly o'donnell there in io a iowa. carly fiorina is there as well addressing the audience. coming up, deadly bombs rocks a well-known shrine in the heart of bangkok, thailand. also breaking news. the west engulfed in wildfire fury with fires raging in four western states and evacuations triggered for hundreds of residents. police investigating the stabbing death of morgan freeman's god daughter. the suspect was reportedly standing over her body shouting incantation about xor rich. that is coming up right here on "msnbc live." why should over two hundred years of citi history matter to you?

>> they are. complex fire, it's being called, as you mentioned, is just one of many of those huge wildfires raging across the west. and they say that the good news today is that there's not as much wind. that's been fuelling the flames throughout the weekend. thousands of people do remain evacuat evacuated. about 75 homes and businesses and other buildings have been destroyed from this fire. but it's moving more into the west and into the path are many more homes. efforts today are try and preserve those homes and keep people and the structures from burning. so they have aircraft in the air. six helicopters along with some fixed wing aircraft, drop retardant. and they also have the national guard members on the ground helping with this blaze. as you mentioned, it's very difficult right now. resources are strained because of so many large fires. but again, helping somewhat today. still some wind that can fan those flames but not as much as over the weekend. it's going to be hot and dry the rest of the week. many more challenges ahead. >> liane gregg, thanks for the update. no damage reported after a 4.5 magnitude earthquake hit california's bay area earlier today. it struck at 6:48 a.m. local time in peiedmont near oakland. from the west to the east, there's no break in the heat expected from the mid atlantic and the northeast. we could see a heat wave before the week is done. donald trump takes iowa by storm but is he a celebrity or have a good chance of winning the hawkeye state?

what will they look like around will it be enough of a reset for him? >> it's part of their plan that long-time adviser to governor bush mike murphy has put in place. $10 million is the answer to the question that a lot of people have been asking. when is this roughly $100 million cash that he has raised over the course of the first six months going to get spent? it's going to be an introduction largely to governor bush. a lot of people don't know who he is even though he has a famous name and was governor from the very large state, especially people in iowa may not know who he is. >> trying to make that message known. tom beaumont of the associated press, appreciate it. donald trump's exclusive interview with tuck r chuchuck plenty of headlines. >> let's go foreign affairs. you want to knock the hell out of isis. how? >> i want to take away their wealth. as you know for years i've been saying don't go into iraq. they went into iraq. they destabilized the middle east. big mistake. okay. now we're there. and you have isis. i said this was going to happen. i said iran will take over iraq which is happening. as sure as thur sitting there. isis is take over a lot of oils in certain areas of iraq. i said you take away their wealth. you go and knock the hell out of the oil. take back the oil. we take over the oil, which we should have done in the first place. >> it's going to take ground troops. >> that's okay. >> maybe 25,000. >> circle it. circle it. have so much money. what i would do with the money that we make, which would be tremendous, take care of the soldiers that were killed, the families of the soldiers that were killed, the soldiers, wounded warriors that i see, i love them. and they're walking all over the streets of new york, all over the streets of every city without arm, without leg, and worse than that. i would take care of them. >> so america should take over the oil fields. shouldn't be given to the iraqis? >> we can give them something but definitely take back pony for our soldiers. we've had soldiers that were decimated so badly hurt. the wounded warriors, and killed, of course. but we've had soldiers that were so badly hurt and killed i want their families to get something. because we got nothing out of that war. we spent $2 trillion, chuck, we had thousands of people killed. wounded warriors all over the place. they got nothing. and they can't even say we had a victory. >> who do you talk to for military advice right now? >> i watch your shows. i really see a lot of great -- when you watch your show and the other shows and you have the generals and you have certain people -- >> is there somebody, ago to for you? >> probably there are two. >> every presidential candidate has ago to. >> probably two or three. i like bolton. tough cookie. >> ambassador john bolt snn. >> yes. >> colonel jack jacobs? >> colonel jack jacobs is a good guy. i see him on occasion. >> that was just part of donald trump's exclusive interview on "meet the press." we're been asking you to weigh in on the bing pulse question. after see that interview to you take him more seriously as a candidate? how are we looking so far? here is your votes. so far 32% of you say yes. 68% of you say no. keep the votes coming. pulse.msnbc.com. we'll continue to monitor it throughout the hour here. moving to the democratic side of the aisle, if vice president joe biden jumps into the 2016 presidential race he could have a problem when it comes to raising the money he needs to be competitive. according to politico, some of the donors who attended a hillary clinton fund-raiser in martha's vineyard over the weekend don't want biden to jump in. apparently fearing a biden entry could complicate the field. stoking fears of a repeat of the clinton/obama split among supposed potters eight years ago. joining me now the politico's ken. nice to have you with us. let's talk about the sentiment here from the party's donors. is that a big factor in joe biden's decision to run although he's weighing in so much from his family and with his son in his mind as well. >> i think it is a big factor, francis. i think that is one of the key considerations that some of his closer advisers are right now exploring. that is, they are reaching out to major donors in the democratic party. some who have supported him in the past. some who maybe haven't and feeling them out to see whether there might be support to fund a super pac that would potentially support his candidacy. 4th doesn't really have time to nount mount a traditional wide scale campaign with a huge network of grass roots supporters that would rival anything close to what hillary clinton or bernie sanders have mounted. but as we've seen on the republican side, a few very wealthy donors goes a very long way in today's presidential politics. >> can't be ignored as far as the editorial from charleston's "the post and courier." how significant is that support coming from a south carolina paper? >> potentially that's where we are in reporting found he would really focus his efforts if he were to enter the race. that is to say he faired forly in iowa last time. hillary clinton and bernie sanders have insisted a lot in iowa and fighting it out in new hampshire. the next state up, south carolina could potentially play into some of his appeal with more centris democrats. culturally, reagan democrat type than hillary clinton is. and so south carolina makes a lot of sense for him. so, too, would nevada, interestingly, with its strong union ties. so there is a little bit of a pathway but it's going to be very challenging for him to catch up to what hillary or bernie sanders has. >> the clock is ticking. when would it be too late for joe biden to run? >> i mean, i think we're coming up on it. certainly next month we've heard that he is meeting with folks and probably would come to a decision before the end of the next month. realistically it can't go too much longer than that anyway. >> as we are watching the clock and the political calendar as well. switching gears. investigators in new york city are trying to figure out what led to the stabbing death of morgan freeman's god daughter who is also his step granddaughter. this weekend lamar davenport stabbed actress adina 16 times in front of her home in new york city on sunday. davenport was screaming biblical verses and perhaps performing an exorcism. heinz was friedman's granddaughter from his first inch what. nbc's beltity nguyen reports. >> this morning new york city police a arrested and charged a suspect with second degree murder in the death of morgan freeman's deposition granddaughter. the actor speaking out and calling the incident tragic and senseless. 33-year-old adina heinz also an actress found ply lying in a street near her home with multiple stab wounds to her torso. taken to a nearby hospital and pronounced dead. neighbors say they called 911 after they heard screams coming from outside. >> i looked out the window. this person was on the ground. this guy was on top. she screamed again. and i went and called 911. >> reporter: police took 30-year-old lamar davenport into custody at the scene and then transported him for a psychological evaluation and later charged. witnesses say it appears davenport was per forring some sort of exorcism. >> i cast you out, devils, in the name of jesus christ, i cast you out. he was saying that through the whole thing. >> reporter: multiple reports identify davenport as her boyfriend though not confirmed and say the two had just enjoyed dinner with friends hours before. >> oh, have you been here before?

>> you have to. they're having a baby and then nobody knows. >> you believe -- >> you have no choice. >> they're coming here -- >> when we have some good people, very good people here. we have a lot of really good people. they're illegal. you have a country or not. >> get rid of -- >> we're going to try to bring them back rapidly. the good ones. you know the word expedited?

>> thank you for having me. when i heard about mr. trump's stances, i just felt dehumanized and hate. what his plan says is a plan of mass deportation, a mass exodus. deport dreamers like myself. my mother, a cancer survivor and strip the citizenship of my little sisters. >> let's talk more with you about this interview. trump discusses rescinding president obama's executive order. let's play a little bit more of that. >> the executive order gets rescinded. one good thing -- >> you'll rescind that one, too? >> one good thing -- >> you'll rescind -- >> you have to. we have to make a whole new set of standards. and when people come in they have to -- >> split up families? deport children. >> keep the families together. we have to keep the families together. >> you're going to keep them together out? >> they have to go. >> what if they have no place to go? >> they have to go. we'll work with them. >> okay. you'll all have to go. what would this mean for you and other families? >> for america, it meenl that is you would lose teachers from the classroom, lose nurses from hospitals. and for me and my family, it just means devastation. my sister and i are covered from the victory our movement had and my mom possibly be covered for parents and our parents were already separated. my father deported about seven years ago and that blow was devastating for our family. i can imagine -- now imagine seeing that millions of millions of cases across the country of people being torn apart by this. one thing to say clearly to mr. trump is that this is our home. my mother and i belong to this. he's in the minority. the majority of the american public believe in our right to stay in this country and be able to thrive. >> when you hear him say, i intend to keep families together, how do you take that? >> i mean, i think that's, again, irrational. he wants to keep us together but in deportation buses. >> as far as the republican party, why do you think he has so much support with the stance on immigration? >> yeah, i mean, i think that in some cases mr. trump has been able to uplift the truth that some -- the fringes of the party sort of have -- hold on to. held on to. but i think it's important to understand that there are some republican candidate that is support him on the 14th amendment but there are some republicans that have remained silent like senator rubio and mr. bush and it's important for us to be able to know where does he stand and where do the people stand on the 14th amendment, whether my sisters have a right to be sit senls of this country. >> for those that say that donald trump is leading the way, his response in laying out this policy on immigration forcing the other members of the gop to lay out theirs, as well, what is your hope with that? >> my hope is that this country has a true leadership from both parties that latinos are looking to democrats and republicans to provide solutions and not irrational plans that don't have any hearsay in the community and not supported by the broader community. >> he says he can win the latino vote. can he? >> i don't think so. >> thank you for sharing your story with us. >> thank you. donald trump continues the odom nate the headlines and the conversation. we want you to be part of it. asking you to weigh in today. after trump's "meet the press" interview, do you take him seriously?

>> he is a threat in that his success is underscoring weaknesses hillary clinton has. supporters of bernie sanders are democrats that like where he is on policy, income inequality, wall street reform and find him to be an authentic politician and he's somebody that doesn't have the problems with honest and trustworthy numbers we see for hillary clinton. recent polling seen sanders having a steady gain over the summer, gaining on hillary clinton. but i think it is also worth noting it is august. months to go before the nominating contest and voters don't seem to be thinking about electability. that new hampshire poll you mentioned only about 1 in 10 of those polled in that survey said that they would that he was actually going to be the democratic nominee. the question over the next few months is whether hillary clinton makes a case to sanders supporters. i'm going to be the best nominee for the party. >> can he keep it up for those supporters continuing to fill venues? especially with the e-mail controversy not going anywhere. >> well, he's getting big crowds, especially in some of the most liberal parts of the country, places like portland and l.a. massive crowds which is really important to note. but it's also important to look a little bit at the coalition building abilities that sanders has. he's been in recent weeks trying to reach out to, say, african-americans and hispanics to get the message across to them, as well. hillary clinton's numbers with african-americans, 80% approval ratding for hillary clinton. keeping up the momentum will decide how he can reach a democratic party coalition. >> nbc's carrie dann, thank you. >> thanks. did you see "straight outta co compton" this weekend?

does there need to be a shift when it comes to money management? >> well, a couple of things. yes, but also, you have to think that black and latino people carry more of the weight of the brothers and sisters, cousins, aunts and uncles than do, say, white american families. they have a sense of responsibility of those left behind and then the higher they claim, the more debt they incur with a greater pool of people to distribute the resources to. patterns of discrimination that keep them from investing in other places, not in terms of the market, of course, but the housing being saddled with extraordinary rates higher than the market means and they're bleeding off the wealth and don't have the economic wherewithal to sustain themselves in a crisis. >> i want to ask you before you go civil rights leader julian bond passed away over the weekend, 75 years old. talk about the impact he had with his work and how that will continue even after his death?

they didn't believe in top down leadership. they believed everybody were all equal participants along with robert moses and the movement so they didn't believe in one figure voicing the concerns. that led to the same kind of pattern we see to a degree with black lives matter. >> certainly a lesson that many can consider and take now. long after his death, especially with that movement. >> absolutely. >> and hearing over and over again. mike chae michael, thank you. good to see you today and you host the 5:00 p.m. hour here on msnbc and catch you in the hallways. >> look forward to it. >> thank you. tragedy for actor morgan freeman. step granddaughter found stabbed to get. more on the arrest police made in the case when we come back. ♪ no student's ever been the king of the campus on day one. but you're armed with a roomy new jansport backpack, a powerful new dell 2-in-1 laptop, and durable new stellar notebooks, so you're walking the halls with varsity level swagger. that's what we call that new gear feeling. you left this on the bus... get it at the place with the experts to get you the right gear. office depot officemax. gear up for school. gear up for great. so, what did you guys they think of the test drive?
