Campaign. These are pictures live from orlando where already the trump family is taking stage. Eric trump and don junior have just spoken. Vice president pence about to peek. Everybody there. In moments trump will join them addressing a revved up crowd. Trump picking florida as a must win battleground state. He only carried it by a percentage point in 2016. Tonight he trails some of the top Democratic Candidates in florida. Quinnipiac showing joe biden leads 51 to 41 . Bernie sanders 48 to 42. Elizabeth warren, 47 to 43 just outside the horjen of err are. The others within it. Before the president left for orlando he spoke about to wants event. Im going town down as you no he to a very big crowd down in florida, orlando. Katlyn collins travel with the president. She is outfront in orlando right now. There you are getting ready for the president to come to the podium and the president. Why florida . Well, erin, as you noted this is a state near and dear to the president , essentially his second home. But also knows this is a state he has to win to win in to 2020. And the president judging by what our sources tell us is rattled by the polls showing him trailing people like joe biden in states like florida. Thats why you see the Campaign Pick this as what they are calling the launch of their reelection bid, even though of course the president has been running for office since the day he was inaugurated. Theyre billing in as something new. Theyve had concerts going on outside during the day. There have been people lined up since yesterday. And even almost has this Convention Like feel with all the president s family coming out on stage here tonight before he does. And especially the Vice President mike pence as well. But erin, the question is what is the president going to say tonight as he makes his case to voters for why they should put him in office for four more years. To give you a hint what he is going to say, it could be the same playbook he used in 2016. Thats judging from what the president was tweeting overnight when he threatened to deport millions of undocumented immigrants starting next week. Even though his administration wasnt able to give a lot of details on that. So the president is coming here hoping in the recent weeks as theres been tension in the campaign over the leaked polls to be kpfrted by in arena full of 20,000 of his chanting supporters. All right, katlyn thank you very much. And now i want to go to democratic candidate Bernie Sanders. Senator, i appreciate your time tonight. The president getting ready to go on stage in orlando, launch his campaign. Youre planning to deliver a live response to his event tonight. What will you say . Well, im going to make a guess. And maybe i am wrong. But here is what my guess is in terms of what the president will not talk about tonight. I have the feeling he is not going to talk about the fact that he tried to throw 32 million americans off of the health care they have. He is not talking about the fact that in his recent budgets he made he proposed massive cuts to medicare, medicaid and to social security. He probably wont talk about his tax reform bill where he promised the American People that it would not benefit the wealthy and in fact 83 of the benefits over a 10year period go to the top 1 . Let me make another prediction. He bet he doesnt talk about chime change which the scientific kmount calls the greatest threat facing our planet. Those are things he wont talk about. What he will talk about im sure are undocumented people in this country and demagogue this issue. And those are the issues you folk on later tonight. Look, i dont know if you heard the reporting there, senator. Part of the reason he is in florida is because he likes going there a lot. But he is concerned about the apology data there we know he cares deeply about polls. Watching them closely whether he admits it or not. And he is losing in florida, acre to the quinnipiac poll to you, joe biden. Joe biden talked about polls today. He said, quote there is a target on my back, referring to other democrats. Is that fair . Are you aiming for joe biden right now . Not a target on anybodys back. I think the good news is that virtually all of the recent National Polls has biden and myself way ahead of President Trump, in some cases double digits. And i think thats good. But, you know, this is this is a long, long time before an election. We shouldnt put too much credibility into polls. But i think trump understands and he is panicking a little bit, that he is in trouble, his agenda his personality, his racism and sexism, overall bigotry is not what the American People feel comfortable with. Senator warren as you know has been rising in the police debting a lot of notice. In the florida poll you and she are locked close second. You are at 14. She is at 12. Biden advisers tell cnn they are keeping an eye on her rise. But they think its coming her rise is from you. Every point she gets comes out of your number, not his number. Is warrens gain coming at your experience . Erin, you sound like somebody in the media. You know, this is not to me whats important. Im going to run my campaign. Senator warren will run her campaign. And i think what the evidence will show is that i in fact the strongest candidate to defeat trump. I think we can win big in michigan and wisconsin, in pennsylvania, and i think well win because the issues that we are fighting for, issues that the working families of this country will respond to. I oppose many of these disastrous trade policies. I oppose the war in iraq. I oppose the wall street balanceout and i think people in the midwest and all over the country agree with me. What im curious the reason i asked the question, though, is that im wondering whether you think there is a cap on support fro the progressive left. Themt thats a fair question. And but let me respond in this which. I think often the media gets it wrong. If you are a working person and you are working longer hours for lower wages, and you cant afford prescription drugs. You cant afford to send your kid to college. You are worried about your parents or youre worried your retirement, are you necessarily a liberal or progressive . Youre not. Youre just one of the majority of American People living paycheck to paycheck. Who are really str struggling in in economy. So i think, you know, my universe of support are the vast majority of working people who are getting screwed over by the economy. The truth is that for the last 45 years the average american today has not seen a nicol more in real wages than he or she got 45 years ago. Thats pretty crazy. Meanwhile theres a massive transfer of wealth from the working families of the country to the top 1 . You dont have to be liberal or progressive to understand that. All you understand and see in the richest country in the world you are entitled to a decent stad of living. You said you are talking about immigration. He is going to be talking about immigration tonight as well in a different ways. You called the threat today to threatening to deport millions of undocumented immigrants which he says next week. Is outrageous. I wanted to talk about somethng you share something in common with. Alexandria ocasiocortez. She talked about the detention of migrants at the border particularly where people are being housed. This is how she described it. The United States is running concentration camps on our southern border. And that is exactly what they are. They are concentration camps. Senator, you have talked about how your fathers flam was wiped out in the holocaust. Six million jews killed in the host call. Gas chambers. Are you comfortable calling the detention of migrants on the Mexican Border concentration camps. I didnt use that terminology. Again i have a lot of respect for alexandria. She is doing a fantastic job. What i will tell you is that we are locking up children in deplorable conditions. Keeping kids in conditions for weeks where places are not meant for kids. The children are trauma advertised. We need kprens Immigration Reform needing to deal with the 1. 8 Million People in daca and move them towards duplicates. You dont use the word concentration camps. I have not used that word. Before we go, senator, i want to ask you about iran which i know you are speaking out on. You said earlier today you dont accept the administrations claim was iran was behind the attacks on the two oil tankers. What i said what i said is that this that attacks on ail tankers need to be thoroughly investigated. And thats what we need. I also said and repeat right now that the worst Foreign Policy errors in the modern history of this country came when during when we got into the war in vietnam when we were lied to. The American People were lied to about the socalled gulf of tonkin and lied to about weapons of mass destruction in iraq. And the american should be very careful about taking anybodys point of view in terms of about iran. I completely hear your point. Im just curious, because obviously, you know, pomp yoep said the cia concluded that. And theres been nothing to refute that they concluded that. The cia also of course concluded that the Saudi Crown Prince was responsible directly for the murder of jamaul khashoggi. Do you think that one deserves investigation like the president is doing . Or do you the accept cia in one case and not the other . Erin, what does the owner the japanese owner of tanker say. They say not enough evidence produced by the u. S. Thats the owner of the tanker. I dont know that they have any particular motive for coming up with that position. They dont agree with what trump said. All im saying is you need an independent investigation. This is what i will also say. Is that i happen to believe that if the United States went to war against iran, attacked iran, it would be in horrific mistake. It would make the war in iraq look like a cake walk. And i will do everything i can to prevent that war, within and b we need the American People to tell trump he does not have the Constitutional Authority to go to war. That is the responsibility of the congress, not any president. All right. Senator sanders, i appreciate your time. Thank you very much. Thank you. And next trumps nominee for defense secretary resigning amidst revelations of violent domestic incidents. Why is this all coming to light now . Plus anthony scar muchy outfront does he believe its okay to chastise the chief of staff on camera for coughing . Lets do that over he is coughing in the middle of my answer. I dont like that. And the president threatening raids deportation for millions of undocumentinged immigrants next we can. Why didnt he bother to tell the people who would be doing the raids about it . Hi.

New tonight, shocking details of Domestic Violence involving Patrick Shanahans family derailing his nomination for secretary of defense. He dropped out of consideration and resigning as acting defense secretary. Amid disturbing refrlgs nas his son beat his mother with a baseball bat. Drew griffin is outfront. Just days ago, as questions swirled about delays with his fbi background check, Patrick Shanahan seemed confident he would become secretary of defense. Im in contact with the white house dont know whether the paperwork expects to have the process completed here shortly. And right now as you can see kind of focused on doing the job. Today with a tweet President Trump announced shanahan was done. He said its going to be a rough time for him. Allegations of domestc violence between shanahan, his exwife and their son derailed his nomination. Shanahans terrible divorce dragged on more than five years. A story of a troubled family spelled out in hundreds of pages of court documents. A 2010 incident at their home would be the last time the husband and wife ever spoke shanahans exwife told cnn. According to Seattle Police kim berlg shanahan said patrick struck her several times in the stomach. But the officer noted patrick in a black eye and bloody nose and kimberly had no injuries consistent with her version of being assaulted. Police arrested Kimberly Shawn and on Assault Charges that night. Her husband requested the charges be dropped. In another violent episode in 2011 it was one of the couples sons involved in a baseball bat attack against his own mother leaving her with a bloody head wound. Fractures elbow, fractured skull and ultimate strikes to the torso. Kimberly shanahan says in court documents, Patrick Shanahan excused the behavior of their son, saying mr. Shanahan has taken the position that i proskd the assault. Nachkt, Patrick Shanahan did send a memo about the incident to his exwifes brother saying that his son acted in selfdefense and that wills mother harassed him for nearly three hours before the incident. She fueled the situation by berating him repeated lid in his rom. Shanahan later said in Court Filings that he wrote that to help plan for his sons legal defense. There is no excuse for what will did to his mother. Wills actions were unquestionably wrong but i am his father and love him unconditionally. Shanahan who thanked his hearing during his confirmation hearing as defense zbleekt liked to acknowledge my three children who accompanied me here today. Kayla, will and jack seated bhind me. Today says its bus of them he pulled his name out. He wrote a statement saying i believe my continuing in the confirmation process would force my three children to relive a traumatic chapter in our familys live and reopened wounds we have worked years to heal. And erin, Kimberly Shanahan who goes by kimberly jodien snn said that apgts only recently came to the home and asked about the Domestic Violence. Cnn found no evidence that Patrick Shanahan abused his exwife. She arrested in seattle in 2010 for assaulting her husband. Charges dropped. Arrested again in 2014. Charged with smashes a former Business Partner with a sledge hammer wasnt convicted. And two of three children say their mother is abusive abviolent and abused alcohol and drugs. Kimberly jordan siff says not true and tells me her family lies about her. Draung, drew. Now david gergen adviser to four president s. This is terrible in many awful ways. Shanahans son charged with two felonies. And just to be clear, so people understand the severity of this he faces up to 15 years in prison. The judge in fact wouldnt release him out of custody saying the crime scene pictures where he bet his mother so viciously were horrendous. Thats the word from the judge. Shanahan of course defended his son at the time. Now says that nothing could excuse that. How is it possible gnat senate did not know the details . I dont think it is possible. Well, first of all, i think we all share in feeling great sympathy for the members of the family, especially that this might come public. But the story doesnt add up that so far listen when his name was put up for deputy secretary, that launched an investigation of his background. He had to go threw a background check. They would have gone through divorce records and Everything Else. So there were people who began to know and its also obvious that the people who knew started sitting on it. We dont know who they are. There are rumors about hemiwho knew things on the hill and sat on it. But today the president said he learnedfare the first time yesterday. Thats either a huge lie or represents gross mismanagement in the white house or perhaps both. So let me ask you about that. Because an Administration Official told us that shanahan was fully vetted and the would you say was aware of the defect abuse allegations but not every detail. To your point President Trump was asked about it today. And shanahan here is what he said. I had heard about it yesterday for the first time. I didnt know about it. I had heard about it yesterday. And its its very unfortunate. To your point, for that to be true, it would mean that people at the white house whatever they knew didnt share with the president , or the president is lying. Exactly. And frankly its just impossible to believe they wouldnt bri
