Before that news broke, trump gave a speech here he hoped would appeal to africanamerican voters by accusing Hillary Clinton and the Democratic Party in general of being indifferent to inner city poverty. To every voter living in the inner city, or every forgotten stretch of our society, im running to offer you a much better future.

You dont have a shakeup, take the top person and push them aside as they did to paul is one of the toughest, most aggressive, most negative operatives in america today. That signals to me that trump, rather than softening his approach, is going to double down of being the tough, in your face campaigner, and i dont think thats what donald trump needs. These are independent, undecided voter he is going after. They appreciate his message, but they question he himself. They dont like the persona, they dont like the anger, the they want change in wall street. They think he can bring it, but dont like him as a person. What about Kellyanne Conway, she has worked with other political campaigns. Ive known her for 30 years, this is someone who understands polling, focus group, messaging. The question is will donald trump listen to her. Does donald trump listen to anyone. His message still resonates. His message is stronger than Hillary Clinton. His persona is so upsetting to so many people, thats what is holding him back. If you take a look at the in when donald trump finished his convention, he was up by two points. Today, he is down by eight. It is all because of his persona, not his policies, and not the issues that he has talked about. Does it deepen the divide within the Republican Party or mend fences . It depends on what trump does and says. They want him to be prepared for the debate. They want him to take the campaign against Hillary Clinton. Every time he is talking about and agitating people, every time it is about this conversation right now, donald trump is losing. Roger ailes . I think it is significant. And roger is, to me, and ive known him since 1980, the best political operative. He knows how to win a debate. He knows how to win a presentation. He took George Herbert walker bush, and i believe ailes, but somewhat combustible. It is arent they denying roger ailes being involved. What have you heard . Stthey may not be a formal deal, but it doesnt mean they dont talk. Congressional republicans and democrats are ready for another fight over Hillary Clintons state department emails. Congress received fbi notes and other documents from the investigation that led to no charges against clinton. The candidate is promoting its speech today with a tweet, plan would lower taxes and give tax breaks to the rich. Nancy cordes is in whashington where the fbi gave the documents to Congress Just yesterday. Weve learned the fbi turned over quite a bit of material to congress, a highly unusual move, designed to convince republicans that the agency thoroughly investigated clintons use of a private server, before recommending against prosecution. The fbi labeled the clinton material secret, being provided with the expectation it will not be disseminated or disclosed without fbi concurrence. The trove of documents include interview summaries that republicans will pour over, looking for discrepancies, between what clinton told fbi agents and what she told congress. Nothing was marked classified at the time i sent or received it. Republicans are trying to make the case that clinton should be prosecuted for perjury and false statements. Her private email account as secretary of state. I have nothing to say. Campaigning in philadelphia, clinton had no comment. But an aid says the perjury accusation wreaks of desperation on the part of republicans who continue to use taxpayer money to effect an election that isnt going their way. Hoping change the subject, her campaign accused trump last night of pushing a deranged conspiracy about clintons health. Hillary clinton doesnt have that strength or believe me. The 70yearold trump has made a series of unfounded statements about clintons wellbeing. She has got she is low energy. She actually is low energy. Clintons aides have pointed out she has done hundreds of campaign events, and sailed through an 11 hour benghazi hearing. Those are the facts, mr. Chairman. But that hasnt stopped trump. Shell take a nap for four or five hours and come back. No naps for trump. Clean bill of health from her doctor last year, but that hasnt stopped some far right websites from spreading a fake letter from that doctor, claiming she has dementia, and is prone to blacking out.

It is wednesday august 17, 2016. Welcome back to cbs this morning. There is more real news ahead including new changes inside Donald Trumps<\/a> campaign. The candidate says though he will Major Garrett<\/a> who has covered the Trump Campaign<\/a> will discuss the new faces at the top. But first, todays eye opener at 8 00. I can feel the heat radiating behind me, but its moved extremely fast and spread fire resources very thin. Donald trump is on his Third Campaign<\/a> manager, first Corey Lewandowski<\/a> and then manafort, and now hes out. Hes one of the toughest, most aggressive, most negative operatives in america today. Rather than softening his approach is going to double down on being the in your face campaigner. The fbi turned over quite a bit of materials to congress. Convinced republicans at the agency thoroughly investigated clintons private server. Later on this morning search crews will begin going doortodoor looking for people who didnt evacuate. If anybody needed another example of just how dominant the u. S. Women have been in this sport, well, last night they got two. Simone, i cant get enough of her. Shes so i call it extreme vetting. I call it extreme, extreme vetting. Its like hes auditioning for the extreme vetting commercial. I call it extreme okay, wait, i call it extreme vetting. But how many takes do we get . Its live, donald its live king and margaret brennan, norah is off. A Massive Wildfire<\/a> has put more than 80,000 people under evacuation orders. The blue cut fire exploded yesterday to cover roughly 18,000 acres in San Bernardino<\/a>, california. Governor declared a state of emergency in the area. Campaign has announced another change at the top. Stephen bannonwill become. Kellyanne conway was promoted to Campaign Manager<\/a> and Paul Manafort<\/a> will remain campaign chairman. Trump focused on Race Relations<\/a> last night in west bend in wisconsin. He told an overwhelmingly white crowd that his campaign will do Hillary Clinton<\/a> would. The Democratic Party<\/a> has run nearly every inner city in this country for 50 years, and run them into financial ruin. Virtually every single one. Theyve ruined the schools. Theyve driven out the jobs. Theyve tolerated a level of crime no american should consider acceptable, worse than many third world countries. Major garrett was at last nights trump rally in wisconsin. Major, good morning. Reporteoo what do you think about this, first of all, the shakeup in terms of the staff. What does that mean for trump . Reporter well, look, you have to always remember trump is the campaign. Trump and his daughter ivanka, her husband and don and eric. They are the essence of the campaign. As weve learned Campaign Manager<\/a>s can come and go. But steve bannan is a capable person, aggressive and kelly conway is experienced pollster before. Theyre being asked to step into roles they are utterly unfamiliar with, on the fly in High Pressure<\/a> situations when the Trump Campaign<\/a> has never faced more peril when it comes to its polling and Organization Position<\/a> visa vee Hillary Clinton<\/a>. But remember, trump runs the campaign first, foremost and always. Is it a demotion for manafort . Its to insulate manafort. The Trump Campaign<\/a> decided these stories about Paul Manafort<\/a> week especially about ukraine and lobbying and off the book payments are bad, are likely to get worse. But theyre still keeping him in a position of somewhat importance within the campaign. Its an insulation move. But if the stories keep up and the publicity gets worse, they may have to demote him. Theyre holding onto him while they can. Major, less than 90 days, what do you make of the timing of this . And what do you think well see next of the Trump Campaign<\/a> since everybody says donald trump runs reporter as i just said, he does run his own campaign. And if you look at last nights speech, it was by far the best drafted and best delivered teleprompter speech of the Trump Campaign<\/a>. Thats kind of a low bar, a well drafted speech, well delivered is sort of what you expect in a president ial campaign. But trump hasnt really oriented himself in that direction. If he continues to do that and its an enormous if, he may reap some political benefits. But as ive learned covering every hour of this can never predict future and you have to be ready for any possible unpredictable event. And thats what im going to do. Major, you said that trumps trying to reach out to africanamericans, but hes turned down speaking opportunities. He was invited to speak to the naacp and other significant groups. Why do that . I dont know. But if you want to look at last nights speech, it was in the most perfect safe zone trump could have ever constructed for pathologies, urban decay, urban blight and despair and democrats being responsible for that in one of the most republican counties in wisconsin, in one of the whitest counties in wisconsin, 96 white according to latest Census Bureau<\/a> data about 45 miles outside of milwaukee. Trump came to milwaukee to talk about racial unrest, but he didnt go anywhere close to the city. He went to the safest zone both rhetorically and politically he could find. Donald trump said this week he would create a coalition with russia to defeat isis. He also said he wants to shift natos focus away from countering russia. And he called president Vladimir Putin<\/a> a strong leader. Hillary clinton has called putin a bully and she has vowed to stop moscows meddling in ukraine and syria by punishing russia with more financial sanctions. We asked former defense secretary robert gates what the next president faces from that russian leader. Leaders who will push forward as long as theres no significant resistance. But hes not suicidal. Hes not delusional. Hes not crazy. Hes a very calculating person who is playing a very poor hand with great skill. Is putin gaining influence . I think that putin certainly has reasserted russias role. Its pretty clear that any negotiation on syria, if there ever is one, russia wil the table. And based on the way things are right now, probably in the chair. On day one, what does the next president encounter . The next president needs to begin with what is putin trying to do. Putin is trying to reassert russia as a great power player in the world. If he can do it politically, he will. If he needs to do it militarily, he will. But i think first the president is going to have to make clear pushed around by this guy. You see the risk of military confrontation. The risk is the same as it was during the cold war in this specific respect of a miscalculation or an accident or a mistake that somebody makes that escalates the situation. Gates said the best Case Scenario<\/a> is a new president with a lot of credibility who lays out clear guidelines for what the u. S. Will and will not tolerate from russia. Charlie, thats going to be a next president. But well see. Bob gates has also said that, and i mean people whove been in the situation room at the white house when he and Hillary Clinton<\/a> were there together during the first term of the obama administration, that the two of them were often on the same page. Uhhuh. Bob gates and Hillary Clinton<\/a>. Yes. Well, look at what russias doing right now with using now iranian air bases to bomb syria. I mean, there definitely seems to be pushing the envelope and confrontation. Which is gates said, look, hell do as much as he can until somebody says no more. Right. Well see. Well see. An interesting meeting for president obama and putin in a few weeks in september. Certainly more to come on that. U. S. Gymnast Allie Raisman<\/a> won her sixth olympic medal. What did her momand you can rea look out across the valley this morning. Too hard to fight in Southern California<\/a>. The winds will continue today.

Youre just so caught up in the moment and even though she practices it a million times, its still you still got to do it. The whole time get off and let the minute and a half go through real quick. Reporter do you feel as burnt out at the end of the routine . At the end of the routine the whole family is exhausted. Reporter while their performance in the stand wont earn them any medals they have become almost as famous daughter. You kind of oblivious to anything else that is going on in the world. So you just so focused on that routine. Reporter you guys dont have any desire to keep it together, do you . I cant control it. Reporter risemans performance in rio is a redemption of shorts after taking a yearlong break from the sports following the london games. She will never say it was harder coming back, but i think as a dad and kind of being in sports that i just know it was a lot harder. Gymnasts rarely make it to multiple olympics.

They were like, yes. We just need you to do three things. One, just be yourself. Two, have fun. And, three, stop eating food. I was like, wait a minute. Oh, my gosh, he is call. Why would he call you . To have sex . Hello. Hey there. Its aaron. This is amy. I think you buzz dialed me. No, i dialed you with my fingers. . I am not throwing away my mop . 7, 8, now pose.

This comedienne, actress, writer, producer and director is now an author her first book is called the girl with the lower back tattoo. And published by simon and shuster who is owned by cbs. That is how i got here . I didnt know i was owned by cbs. All right. No, we invited you and you were in the neighborhood and said, ill come on over. Ill check you guys out. Everything you said in the you dont know if its true but, boy, do you tell a lie. Its extremely honest and candid. One of the things you talk about is an eighth grader running off with a bunch of kids and her nickname is pancakes, guys, silver dollars. Thats right. Very revealing i think about who you are. Its pretty revealing. I think youll like this story, charlie. So it was, you know, we were in eighth grade and we would all just walk around buy bags of kids. The boys somehow talked us into we were going to flash them. They had a really good argument. Like, do it we were, like, okay. So all of the girls would line up and lifted up our shirts. And all of the boys looked at me and i did not have the biggest boobs of all of the crew but i looked down and shown that everyone else had only shown their bra and i was the only one who went full throttle. I think that is kind after good metaphor for my w im always the one like revealing too much. I thought we were all admitting real things about ourselves. No, no. There is a kind of contradiction you are a private person but in terms of television youre every woman. You have this huge profile. Thank you. Yeah. I think we are all, i think so like walking hypocrites. I think pretty much. Like, there is so many sides to im, you know, very charged politically and i really care about the world, but that doesnt mean that i dont go home and watch every real housewives and every bachelorette. You think, you know, we are dynamic people. I like in the book you take on this idea of people singling you out as a female comedienne more. This is what women in hollywood are like. Yeah. That really gets under your skin. It does. It bothers me. Its such i think we were talking about this, gayle. Its so strange. People will say, i usually dont like female comics but youre okay. And im like, would you go up and say, i dont usually like black people, but i like you . Its just i like you. Its such a strange thing. People have said that to me. They have . I really regret saying that. I wish i could take it back. No. But you find it demeaning rather than its, i think, a say youre my favorite female comic. I go who is your favorite male comic . They said nobody. Maybe im your best comic . Maybe there doesnt need to be a distinction to be made. You also talk about your parents. Thats right. In a rather open way. Yes. Had affairs . My mom only had one affair. I didnt mean oh, please what you said, which is the openness of talking about your mother and your best friends father. Thats correct. When you were 13. I was 13 years old. Yeah. And so just like with my standup before i talk about anybody on stage or, you know anything. The person. I dont want it to hurt anyone. You asked your mom . I asked my mom i rented it and said if you dont want me to write any of it, i wont. If you want me to correct anything. That school was on sunday. But rest is okay . Yeah. When you talk about your parents because they each have been married three times. Yes. Does that affect how you feel about marriage or children . Do you worry about that . I think not so much children, because i think it just seems like very tiring to have them. So that is just how i feel about that. They are work. Im just, like, what if i want to take a nap . W but marriage, yeah, i feel very realistic about just statistics. Im still very unromantic and i love love but statistically, its it doesnt look so good for you and me, forever . Burial plots. Its like, you know, usually, something happens. But i really try to just enjoy the moment and how youre feeling now. But, you know you met your guy on a dating always hear great things about it. Its going well. How did you meet him . I was on a dating app for 48 hours, i should say that. Amy schumer . Yeah. It was one for like creative types and you cant screen shot it because we do have this embarrassment. People still think of dating online, we met online. Everybody, i think when you get over that because its just how it happens now. You would recommend it . Yeah. The first person i talk to on the app was bad. The very first person i talked to. And, yeah. And it clicked . It went well. Yeah. Your connection with ben . I made a connection with ben. The first night, we did not have sex because he didnt try. And then are you disappointed . No. I was just like, what is this guys deal . No, we really just liked each other and it felt very good and right and easy. Wait . It was just, like, we are together now and twha it. The first time you got a laugh, like that. You werent trying to get a laugh. No. You humiliating for but it wasnt . The last note of my in case you dont have any jews in your life, when you have a you can choose to read from or chant. So i chanted. The very last note i just cracked. It was like this.

Jim axelrod shows us why these videos are not so much a show of strength but an act of compassion. Reporter this social media challenge is aimed at rai awareness of Mental Health<\/a> issues that members of americas military bring home from war. Specifically, veterans who commit suicide every day. The videos are meant to support u. S. Troops, while helping to lower a deadly statistic. One. Two. Three. Reporter drop and give me 22. That is the goal of this latest challenge now being met by fathers and sons, hollywood stars. This is to raise awareness reporter even a class of texas state trooper recruits. The idea is to bring attention to an obstacle facing our men and women in uniform. For years, it was estimated 22 veterans committed suicide each day. Retired marine donna win is the Deputy Director<\/a> of 22 kill, the Foundation Behind<\/a> the challenge. When the statistics came out that 22 veterans a day committing sued, its almost unbelievable. We wanted to find out more about where this number came from. Reporter one parent of a fallen soldier posted this video to youtube less than a week after losing his marine son. Six days ago, my son committed suicide after serving in afghanistan. Reporter Randall Stevenson<\/a> said he took the challenge to reach out to other soldiers in need. Please. I dont want this to be you. Reporter rusty carter, an army veteran who tried to kill himself after returning from two the soldiers receiving that message. If i knew of an organization at the time that was doing what we do at 22 kill, i dont feel that i would have attempted suicide. Reporter today, he understands the power of telling vets you are not alone. I started to realize that the power that there was by just this advocation and spreading that message. Reporter recent the department of veteran affairs lowered the number to an average 20 veterans a day who take their own lives. The number may have gone many. One person committing suicide is a pretty big problem. Any number is a big problem. Reporter two summers ago, the ice bucket challenge also used social media for a cause raising 115 million for a. L. S. Research, but the founders of 22 kill say, at this point, they are focused on raising awareness effectively. Just even loring even lowering we have so many attention focusing on getting people to go to battle but doing very little to do to transition when they come at home. Thank you, jim. Thank you.
