Jim acosta for us in florida

And theyre trying to our senior washington correspondent joe johns here, theyre trying to brush this aside, but its becoming difficult. Reporter thats for sure. And its clearly, clearly a distraction to the Clinton Campaign. Theyre spending time and energy responding to wikileaks when the Clinton Campaign admits its hard enough to get their message out over the daily roar of the Trump Campaign, charging that their opponents are in cahoots with wikileaks and russia. The latest batch of stolen emails released by wikileaks. Becoming an unwanted distraction for clinton. The contents offering a glimpse

Reporter in florida today, a federal judge granted an extension of the states Voter Registration deadline due to the effects of hurricane matthew. Giving the clinton and Trump Campaigns until next tuesday to register additional voters. Now, if it is true, theres an effort to depress turnout by turning off voters, the Clinton Campaign says the way to fight it is what theyve been doing, pushing an affirmative policy message by selling voters on something to vote for and not just voting against donald trump. Brianna . Joe johns, thank you so much. Lets talk more about this with hakim jefferies, joining us now in the situation room. I want to talk to you about these wikileaks emails. Yes, they were hacked, but we keep hearing over and over from Hillary Clinton supporters and surrogates that seems to be a defense of why you dont talk about them. Putting aside how these emails were acquired, dont the American People deserve a response to what is in them . Well, first of all, were not sure whether it is legitimate and that is a Talking Point weve heard over and over,
street, as she speaks before people in speeches where shes being paid hundreds of thousands by financial institutions, talking about how doddfrank was passed and needed to be done, that is the financial reform bill that passed after the economy nearly collapsed. She also said to people on wall street, you have to keep looking over the horizon. She gave them some credit for inventing products that nobody has invented. I mean, when you think of products nobody had invented, at one point, that was the Mortgage Backed security that led to this Economic Disaster in the country. Voters are seeing this, and theyre Drawing Conclusions about Hillary Clinton being too cuddly with wall street. What do you say to those voters who are undecided in this election and theyre looking at this . I would suggest that people actually look at Hillary Clintons track record. She went eight years in the
united States Senate where she was representing wall street. Case in point, after george bush was reelected in 2004, his top political priority was privatizing Social Security, which obviously would have been a boom to wall street, because you would have had billions, if not trillions that could have been managed by wall street folks. Hillary clinton, along with other members, democratic members of the united States Senate, stood up and pushed back and actually stopped that. On the issue of trade, which many people on wall street support, this was only one major Free Trade Agreement that came before Hillary Clinton during the eight years that she was a member of the united States Senate, that was kafta. And Hillary Clinton voted no. And so im very comfortable with the fact that Hillary Clinton, as president , will continue to stand up on the side of the American People, because thats exactly what she did during her eight years in the united States Senate on issue after issue. In the discussion of trade, kafta is small try compared to nafta which she supported and the transpacific partnership, really the Trade Accomplishment that president obama was hoping for during his time in the white house. And she repeatedly, dozens of times, pushed it as Secretary Of State, only flipflopping on her position once she was a candidate. And it appeared there wasnt an appetite for it among her electorate. Actually, youve got three important Trade Agreements that you just laid out. The first one was nafta. Thats bill clintons. She was the first lady she supported it. She supported it, and thats part of the record. But she was the first lady at the time. Kafta is a significant trade agreement, a very close second to nafta. And she voted no. With respect to the transpacific partnership, which is a very
significant agreement, when she was part of the obama administration, if you actually think about the timing of her words, what she was suggesting is that the negotiation that is taking place would be a Gold Standard how at a time when what was on the table really was providing the president with fast track authority. When it was time for the United States congress to actually vote on that fasttrack authority, when we had some sense of what that framework looked like, when there was some meat that was put on the bones, she came out against it. I think thats a reasonable position. Its very hard to take a position against something that you have not seen, and so, when you think about the timing as it relates to tpp, im very comfortable in her position. I will add that her support for it as Secretary Of State she never said was contingent on the outcome. But that is your opinion, and im here stating the facts as we
see them about her statements. I do want to have you hang around, congressman. We have a lot more to talk about.

That was in this batch of what was hacked where you have the Communications Director for the Campaign Years before this campaign started talking about catholicism and how this is a more socially accepted choice, basically for republicans or for conservatives than evangelicals, because their rich friends wouldnt understand if they became evangelicals. Someone else emails to john podesta that its a bastardization of the faith. So this gives paul ryan, a catholic, the most prominent member of congress, fodder for sure. And he says, the Clinton Campaigns disdain for the catholic faith and christian evangelicals is staggering. These statements reveal their hostile attitude of people of faith in general. This is the United States of america. All americans of faith should take a long, hard look at this and decide if these there values we want to be represented in our next president. If Hillary Clinton continues to employ people with biased and bigoted views, its clear where her priorities lie. How do you think the campaign should approach this . Well, speaker ryan clearly is grasping for straws. Hes had a rough couple of days in terms of the back and forth with donald trump and the Republican Party as we know it is imploding. I do think to the extent we can confirm that there was an email that was written discussing catholicism and or Evangelical Christians in such an insensitive way, i would encourage them to take action at the staffers. I think we should continue to celebration religious tolerance and diversity. By the way, its quite ironic, because donald trump has been perhaps the most religiously intolerant president ial candidate in modern american
history. But certainly thats not something that Hillary Clinton wants to be, you know, thats really shes probably trying to set her own bar when she comes to this. She is a woman of faith. Youre a man of faith. So when you look at this, where do you think the conversation should be . You say this is something that should be brought up with the staffer, but how should the campaign deal with this in a way they may be turning off people of faith that read this, and they feel excluded and like theyre being basically told by someone who may be talking about being sort of elitist that their religion doesnt matter as much or doesnt make sense in the political scheme of things. Well, i have every reason to believe that the campaign will take appropriate action with respect to the staff member on question on this issue. If you think about Hillary Clintons life journey, shes been all about diversity, religious, racial, ethnic
tolerance, and embracing whats good in america and a large part of that is our tremendous diversity. Its a great strength. I think what we have with speaker ryan, hes trying to change the subject because his majority is in peril right now, and if you actually examine the relationship between trump and what he said and House Republicans and what theyve done, its a very close parallel. Donald trump talks recklessly, but it was the House Republican majority that actually recklessly shut down the government for 16 days and cost the American People 24 billion in lost economic productivity. Donald trump talks about building a wall and keeping the muslims and mexican immigrants out. The House Republican majority has actually stopped bipartisan, comprehensive Immigration Reform from moving forward. On issue after issue, we look at
gun violence prevention legislation. The House Republican conference has acted like a wholly owned subsidiary of the nra because theyve stopped things like universal background checks that the American People embrace. So we can have a discussion about religious tolerance, but paul ryan is trying to change the topic. I want to add that the Communications Director who spoke about the part of catholicism being more socially acceptable politically for conservatives. I just want to point out she has responded to this, saying she doesnt recognize the email and points out that shes catholic. I want to ask you, the governor of minnesota said today that the Affordable Care act is no longer affordable. Is he wrong . Hes absolutely wrong. First of all, there are more than 20 million previously uninsured people who have Affordable Health coverage because of the aca. The entire nation now doesnt
have to worry about being denied coverage as a result of a Preexisting Condition arent some people it is a reasonable discussion for us to have when this president ial election is over and we convene the next congress on january 3rd, as to how we can build upon the success of the aca and make adjustments. That was done with Social Security over the years. That was done with medicare and medicaid. Its reasonable to say it should be done with the aca. But the foundation of the law is solid and its been a benefit to American People. Congressman, thank you for joining us here in the situation room. And for being so generous with your time with us. We appreciate it. Thank you. Just ahead, donald trump sees what he calls a sinister deal along republicans distancing themselves from his campaign.
