Be on this you have to look at why these folks created this statue the statues and why people are so interested in them. Its because donald trump has perpetuated a huge fraud on this country.

What we are learning about the victim in berkeleys first homicide of the year. If it can happen to our family, it can happen to anyones family. First an apology from ryan lochte after reporting and Armed Robbery that Officials Say never happen. The latest twist is coming it. Donald trump made a stop in louisiana to survey the flood damage today. He visited there along with his running mate mike pence. Donald Trumps Campaign chairman Paul Manafort resign from his post earlier today. He had been under criticism for what may have been illegal lobbying effort. Eric trump told the Business Network that Paul Manafort had become a distraction for the campaign. I dont think my father wanted to be distracted by this. In the meantime Hillary Clintons Campaign Said the Clinton Foundation would no longer accept money from other countries if clinton wins the presidency. This announcement follows the release of information that the Clinton Foundation received the funds from foreign donations during her time as secretary of state. Do you think it was a good idea to let go 10 to Donald Trumps Campaign Chairman Paul Manafort . Absolutely, having Paul Manafort on the loo on the payroll was a problem. New management is thinking a little bit more strategically, apparently. How would you advise donald trump if you were his Campaign Manager . He has hit some speed bumps. He is behind in the polls and particularly in some of the key swing states. I would start by saying, after looking at that statue, i would invite him to lose some weight. Just kidding seriously, with respect to the campaign, i think he really needs to reach out to voters beyond his primary base. White male voters without College Degrees are the greatest his voter base. It looks like hes in real trouble with africanamerican voters and latino and hispanic voters, every other democratic demographic. Hopefully the new Management Team will put him in a better position to move forward. We saw that he was appearing with mike pence in louisiana. Who stands the most with from early voting, donald trump or Hillary Clinton. Thats a great question. Mostly because Hillary Clinton has a number of ads in key battleground states including some that are doing early voting, i would say it favors her. She spent over 6 million in pennsylvania and over 70 million in the state of ohio, almost 9 million in the battleground state of North Carolina. In virginia which she hopes to win and likely will, she has spent close to 6 million. Donald trump is only spent a fraction of that amount in those states. This advertising may sway them to vote more than if she waited until october to do the same thing. Before we go, i wanted to talk about the very explicit statue of donald trump. It was allowed to stay up for almost a full day. What does that say about the political process . You have run for the mayor of oakland. I was thinking, either 17year old who is just turning to ask me questions about politics. How to explain Something Like that . I think people who are public figures who then transition to becoming public officials, understand that when you become a public official, everything about you is fair game to everybody. Its really harshly scrutinize. One of the hallmarks of a strong democracy as we tolerate all kinds of points of view and speech. Our Supreme Court has said even Something Like this which is a little bit folder is part of the political discourse. If youre going to enter the political arena you have to expect youre going to get this. Its the reason why many People Choose not to run for office. It is very difficult. I wish i had more time but we will have to leave it at that. Thank you for joining us. President obama announced today he will visit flood ravaged louisiana next week donald trump and other republicans have criticized the president saying he shouldve cut short his Family Vacation in massachusetts to visit the flood damaged state. The governor of louisiana said it would tax state resources and it might be better for him to tour the devastation next week. The president will be in louisiana on tuesday. Ryan lochte offered an apology of sorts for what the police call a made up story about getting robbed in rio at gunpoint. Ryan lochte says he was sorry about not being more candid about ascribing those events and taking the focus away from many athletes fulfilling their dreams to participate in the olympic games. Ryan lochte and 3 other swimmers were trying to cover up their vandalism of a gas station bathroom, according to police. Brazilian officials do not believe this will overshadow the games. We will accept his apology. We want to put this matter to an end. James fagan has made a 10,000 donation to a charity in rio that features martial arts to underprivileged children.

Look at the haze showing up. When the sun set you got that red tint to it. When you get smoke in the air, the particulates, the sunlight refracts off of the particulate matter. That is what you are seeing now. Tonight you will really be read out there. You can already see the red color taking over but it will be really read on the bay and across the district tonight, even though it is foggy. This is just going to keep us wedged between two systems. This is not going to be really hot or a really cold. This will be just right. The fire danger is not going to change either. You will still have the heat in the inland valleys.
