support and endorse our speaker of the house, paul ryan. i hold the highest esteem for senator john mccain. and i fully support and endorse his reelection. very important. i also fully support and endorse senator kelly ayotte of new hampshire. good morning, and welcome to "am joy." donald trump last night, reading off the paper. finally endorsed several key members of his own party in the reelection bids. which normally wouldn't be news, except he has been refusing to do it. without question, a terrible week for the trump campaign, with party leaders, even reportedly planning an intervention with the nominee. something that trust confidant rudy giuliani vehemently denied. >> what a ridiculous word. an intervention is for a drug addict and someone who is an alcoholic. donald trump doesn't drink or moek by the w smoke by the way. >> what was the meeting about. >> there wasn't a meeting. >> at least he wasn't yelling. >> something intervened with trump. i don't know, could it be reality. he has plummeted in the polls, "wall street journal" poll showing him down by nine points. that's not even the worst number. so trump is trying at long last to do a real campaign, with less on the attacking gold star families bit and more on the go after hillary clinton. >> she is a dangerous liar. she is unhinged. she truly unhinged. and she is unbalanced. totally unbalanced. in one way, she is a monster. in another way, she is a weak person. she is actually not strong enough to be president. so she has got both. >> did i mention that he is still donald trump. let's bring in john harwood and political writer for "the new york times." your tweet send a thousand booking producers scrambling for your cell phone when you tweeted the campaign was essentially suicidal over last week. do you see in this reading off the paper endorsement of the three people he was supposed to endorse any way as the republican standard bearer the pivot for donald trump? >> well, here's the thing joy. the am he is sage of t-- messag the top of the campaign is donald trump personally. the fact that donald trump reads a statement that people tell him you must read to quell this controversy doesn't change who he is. and who he is is what republicans are having a problem with, and what hillary clinton hammered at her convention. the whole idea that he is temperamentally not suited to be president. and then the way he behaved over the past week seemed to affirm the things that she said. so the fact that someone will say campaign aides, paul manafort, whoever, you you have to do this right now, doesn't make people think it is a different person. so i'm not sure it is better than the alternative. it is better than what he had been doing. but i'm not sure it cures his problems. >> to your point, let's play paul manafort on fox news on wednesday, talking about what you and other reporters have been reporting regarding the state of the campaign. >> the campaign is focused. the campaign is moving forward in a positive way. the own need for an intervention with maybe some media types that are saying things that aren't true. >> john, your reporting of our hallie jackson, katy tur and others who have been following the campaign, people who will talk to you off the record, all say that it's kind of shambollic at this point. who do you think within the organization was able to get donald trump to read off that paper, at least for the few minutes it took to endorse ayotte, mccain and paul ryan. >> don't know. maybe ivanka trump. maybe paul manafort or others on his team. maybe roger stone, who has been a long time advisor to donald trump. but you know, you played that sound bite from paul manafort, in that same interview, when he was asked about whether he was in control of the campaign, he said the candidates in control of the campaign and i'm in control of the things he wants me to be in control of. i think that's the point of what our reporting has been, which is that donald trump has a singular grip, unlike what we've seen in previous recent campaigns in either party, on the daily message and tactics of the campaign. and as long as he has the ability at any moment to go out and divert and talk again about megyn kelly or talk about the disabled reporter or the crying baby, all of these things are antithet cal to what we have come to know as traditional campaigns known to win general elections. he has to add voters. he has not and that's what the polls have shown. >> just to your point that he has continued to, when he is not reading something that he was told read, he is going back and re-litigating the baby he threw out. he is re-litigating the things he wants to do. stunning headlines in politico this week. one of them, insiders in the gop, none of them would be named for the article, were even talking about, hoping donald trump would just drop out of the race. i don't know how that would work. and then a second politico piece, where essentially reince priebus supposedly, quote-unquote, lit into the nominee, who has sworn absolute field to his dying day and told him do you realize how badly your f'ing this up. does he listen to reince priebus at all and is it realistic to think that donald trump would drop out? >> i don't think it's realistic to think he would drop out. look, many people have been discussing that, joy, from the beginning of his campaign. even last summer, people speculated. i speculated that if -- if we got close to caucuses and primaries, if he lost, he would not be willing to accept losing and drop out. he in fact did lose iowa and didn't drop out. in fact, he won the republican nomination. so i just don't see him changing course. now, in terms of reince priebus, it is clear that donald trump's campaign is a donald trump enterprise. it is not a republican party enterprise. so i don't -- there is no evidence to me that paul ryan, ryan priebus, anyone in the republican party is particularly influential over donald trump. i think donald trump believes that he found a formula to win. that he is uniquely suited to conduct this campaign, and he is going to do it the way he wants. maybe trimming on the edges, but at its course, he is not part of a team. he is the team. >> that's the key point. this is donald trump. this is who he is. not a campaign tactic. cnbc, john hardwood, thank you. >> let's bring in our panel. omarosa, rick tyler, political analyst, and bruce bartlett. thank you all for being here. i want to start with where john hardwood left off, maybe ivanka, that has really influence over this candidate. newt gingrich on fox business on wednesday commented about the campaign. remember, newt gingrich is a close donald trump insider. he is somebody who was considered for his vp. this is what newt gingrich had to say about donald trump this past week. >> i think somewhat of trump has done is very self-destructive. i don't know if it is a fixable problem, but i think it is a very big moment for trump. he has got to find a way to slow down really learn some new lessons. this is like the apprentice, except he is the apprentice, not the boss. >> with that, i go right to the former apprentice contestant, o omarosa. you've interacted with donald trump before he ran for president. he is in his 70s. he is not capable of changing who he is. are the problems we've seen last week fixable? >> well, first of all, joy, let's remember that every single month of this campaign, someone is trying to write donald trump's political obituary. they said last june when he started only the journey, he would never make it to this point. you'll have to forgive me if i don't give credence to the people that say his campaign is doomed. we have out smarted 17 primary candidates. we're focused on hillary clinton, and he will be successful in the fall. everyone who keeps saying they know what will happen with donald trump will be shown to absolutely incorrect. as they have been for the last year. >> but omarosa, donald trump wasn't throwing babies out of his rallies, insulting gold star families and behaving -- >> that's dramatic. >> he has become much more erratic in the last several months. look at the polling, ours is not the worst. he is down 47 for hillary clinton, 38 for donald trump, look at his stamp with african-americans. you are the director of african outreach. >> i am. >> our polls show him getting 1% with african-americans. he is as low as gallup and other news organizations have ever seen. he got a negative bounce out of the two conventions. this is unprecedented. you can't ignore that this is terrible. >> joy, we have a tremendous amount of work to do, but to continue to say this is the end of the campaign, that's what i'm pushing back on. the numbers speak for themselves. we have a ton of work to do, particularly in the african-american, why is i'm here in north carolina. tomorrow, you'll see an african-americ african-american church is endorsing donald trump. you'll have to forgive me if i'm not paying attention to the poll numbers. i've heard from the african-american community saying they've been taken for granted, and we're aggressively going after those voters. >> let's go to rick tyler. you supported ted cruz in this race, so you might have a tiny bit of shock watching donald trump. >> fair enough. >> but diagnose what the problem is? is this a problem that's a campaign that's not a campaign. we've heard that reporting. he doesn't have infrastructure. he has omarosa, but he hasn't typically had what you see in campaign infrastructure. is it this or that this is an erratic person and his personality won't let him do. >> it's his personality. i've said this since 2015. he is 70 years old. people expect him to change. he is not going to change. it will be more of the same. we saw him give a tepid endorsement. image how it could have gone. imagine paul ryan being on the stage with him. imagine the governor of wisconsin be on the stage with him. the members of the delegation would have been there. they would have been talking about the agenda they're going to pass once he is president. none of that was there, because it was a missed opportunity because he got in a fight with paul ryan. he is currently in a fight with the sitting governor of ohio. sitting governor of ohio, ohio is an important state in the general election and john kasich, and he is in a war with john kasich. now, i work for newt gingrich for more than a decade. i can tell you that newt gingrich's criticism was on the air because he wasn't being listened to privately. that's my speculation. i didn't have that conversation with newt. but i know he would give great advice personally. sometimes you need to hear the advice through the television set in order to take it and think that's what was going on there. >> speaking of paul ryan, and i'm going go to you on this, bruce. so donald trump goes to wisconsin, a very important swing state. scott walker, the governor of wisconsin, does not show up. paul ryan, from wisconsin, running for reelection in that state, who just got that tepid endorsement, and reince priebus, but he doesn't show up for the rally either. when you have situation where prominent republicans from a key swing state, essentially don't want to be seen with their nominee on stage at a rally, what does that say about the candidate and the campaign? >> well, it tells you that the down ticket republicans feel that they are being dragged down by the top of their ticket. and that the -- they have to do something to save themselves. just this week, we saw a couple of republicans running for congress, running ads critical of donald trump. and i think you're going to see more and more of that. i think they're going to be testing out other ways that they can separate themselves from trump without at the same time alienating his constituency. it will be a very difficult problem for them. but i think they're looking at a wave election, in the aggravate data, the democrats are ahead by 10% sta 10%, they're scared out of their minds. >> let me play paul ryan quickly. people like paul ryan up for reelection, it almost feels like he doesn't need his endorsement, didn't necessarily want him. maybe trump needs him more than he needs trump. >> heck, if i know jay, i'm not going to psychoanalyze this stuff. i'm going to rise above this stuff and not get involved in some petty back and forth. i've spoken out a few times when they don't reflect our conservative principles. i've said at the beginning of the year and i said after i had endorsed him that i'll continue to do that if i think it is necessary. i hope it is not necessary, but unfortunately it has been a few times. that's just the way the cookie crumbles. >> omarosa, what does it say aside from the fact the height of courage, everything about this candidate is sort of appauls, the speaker of the house, giving you -- in the sense that donald trump has gone about this in a different way, and he has written -- rewritten the political book and the playbook has changed now. so people who depend on endorsements like paul ryan, who continue to criticize him, it makes no sense for us to move forward as divided party. they have to come together, particularly if they're going to defeat hillary clinton in the fall, and i'm glad to see that donald trump has endorsed him and i'm glad to see paul ryan is moving forward. i think you will see as we focus more on hillary clinton -- from the moment they wake up, doers don't stop. every day is a chance to do something great. and for the ones they love, they'd do anything. sears optical has glasses made for doing. right now, buy one pair and get another free. quality eyewear for doers. sears optical burning, pins-and-needles of beforediabetic nerve pain, these feet played shortstop in high school, learned the horn from my dad and played gigs from new york to miami. but i couldn't bear my diabetic nerve pain any longer. so i talked to my doctor and he prescribed lyrica. nerve damage from diabetes causes diabetic nerve pain. lyrica is fda approved to treat this pain, from moderate to even severe diabetic nerve pain. lyrica may cause serious allergic reactions or suicidal thoughts or actions. tell your doctor right away if you have these, new or worsening depression, or unusual changes in mood or behavior. or swelling, trouble breathing, rash, hives, blisters, muscle pain with fever, tired feeling or blurry vision. common side effects are dizziness, sleepiness, weight gain and swelling of hands, legs, and feet. don't drink alcohol while taking lyrica. don't drive or use machinery until you know how lyrica affects you. those who have had a drug or alcohol problem may be more likely to misuse lyrica. now i have less diabetic nerve pain. and these feet would like to keep the beat going. ask your doctor about lyrica. weand sustainability goals asool one of our top priorities.mental i definitely rely on pg&e to be an energy advisor. anything from rebates, to how can we be more efficient? pg&e has a number of programs, to help schools save on energy. when i see a program that fits them, then i bring it to them. with the help of pg&e we've been able to save a tremendous amount of energy and a tremendous amount of money. we're able to take those savings and invest it right back into the classroom. together, we're building a better california. i followed the law. i follow a law the way it is supposed to be. i never thought to stay here without papers. i had visa. i travel every few months back to the country to stamp the visa. i came back. i apply for the green card. i apply for the citizenship later on, after many years of. i went by the law. >> melania trump has referred to her own life story when defending her husband's fierce opposition to illegal immigration. some racy foy photos are raisin questions about her immigration status when she came to the u.s. to work as a model. she said she came here in 1996, but according to the new york post, the photographer who took the risque picks, she was not paid for the photo shoot. that's important. because if you get paid for a job in the u.s., you have to have a visa that authorizes you to work here. now, this gets complicated. but try to follow along. there are many different kinds of visas the immigrants can have. long-term and short-term, tourist visas, that typically don't allow that. the trump campaign hasn't offered a definitive answer to which kind she had. the modeling agent said yes, she had the one that lets you work and he secured it for her. that backs up her story. but mrs. trump herself has said in interview, as you just heard, that she went back and forth between the u.s. and native s w slevonia, which is why they said she didn't get paid. does that make sense. she responded, tweeting in recent days, there has been a lot of inaccurate information concerning my status. let me set the record straight. i have been the all times in compliance with the immigration laws. any allegations to the contrary is simply unscretruuntrue. democratic strategist. i want to set this up, before i go to you, nathan, why this is important. on its own, melania's life history and modeling history shouldn't be an issue in the campaign, however, her husband is both a birther, who demanded that the president show his birth certificate, who questioned whether he got into college in reality, whether he was even qualified. and who also has come down really hard on this idea of illegal immigration. this is donald trump's position on visas. he says i i will end forever the use of h-1 b b, to hire america workers first, no exceptions. that was his position as of march 3, 2016. do you know, and is your organization able to tell us, whether or not melania had the very thing donald trump is trying to get rid of. >> we don't know yet. that's why we filed the foia request. we want to get to the bottom of it and find out the truth. >> what prompted your super pac to file this request for information, this foia for melania trump. >> we saw the article in politico, questioning her visa status, and put him on defense whenever possible. so we saw the opportunity and decided to act. >> simon, is this a right area for democrats to explore? because, look, you know, if donald trump was married to -- is married to somebody who herself exploited the immigration system, how ironic, right? is there a way to keep that live without i guess trying to shame melania trump, but for god's sake, her husband is a birther. >> she participated in the birther efforts. there is video saying she didn't think obama's birth certificate was real. she has actively supported the anti-immigrants, saying all 11 million immigrants. she is fair game here. i'm sorry. she has backed some of the worst parts of his immigration policy. she was clear that she was not like those people, right. the truth is, we don't know what happened. they have to release the immigration file. it is the only way we're going to know. but based on what we know, it is possible that what she has done is far worst that what an undocumented immigrant does. what she has done could be a felony. she could lose her citizenship. these are serious matters. we deserve to know the answer. >> julia, it is a damning case if that's what she did. is this a hypocrite who setting herself apart from the immigrants her husband is attacking. >> the answer is we don't know. it looks like there is good grounds for very strong suspicions. but like simon said, we don't know. we have to see the immigration file. the answer lies there. until we see it, we don't really know. but it is interesting, again, melania is an interesting person. i kind of feel bad for her. she is an intensely private person. this is -- she didn't sign up for this when she married trump. she was not -- she tried to dissuade him from running for president. she is intensely uncomfortable by the public scrutiny. on the other hand, she did support her husband's claim that obama may not have been born in the u.s. she did say, you know, i followed the law and these people didn't. so i don't know. she is -- she is -- >> yeah, but you just made the case for her being fair game. she did sign up to a birther with her husband, right. the other sub text i think of the trump campaign, when they're going after immigration, they're not going to go after every immigration. we've got the statistics on unlawful migration in the united states. people who overstay their visas. look at canada. people from canada overstay their visas far more, almost more than twice as much than people from mexico. look at germany, the uk, you have people from all over the world who fly into our airports, come here overstay their visas. i want to play you what a trump supporter at one of his rallies had to say about the difference between the way essentially donald trump and his supporters see one kind of immigration, people who overstay from europe and people who overstay or come undocumented from mexico. >> i'm fine with europeans coming. >> you're okay with europeans, but not who? >> europeans aren't killing us. >> i'm pretty down with western civilization, so. >> nathan, i mean, so it's pretty clear that donald trump, who is married to european immigrant, has no problem with certain kinds of immigration. the focus is always on mexican migration specifically. >> yeah, i mean, that was a very racist statement. and i think it sums up donald trump's views accurately and it is reflective of his supporters feel. our mission from day one has been to call him out on that. call them out on that and say either you support donald trump in those kind of statements, or you support hillary clinton and the democratic party. it is as simple as that. no gray area. >> one more bite from a trump supporter. this was an answer to a buzzfeed, as was the last one, whether or not, if melania trump actually exploited or misused the immigration system, whether it would bother trump supporters. listen. >> it wouldn't change my opinion one way or another. if you look at it, come to the conclusion -- >> okay. >> so now we're going to. [ inaudible ] >> simon, i mean, that's what we're dealing with. >> yeah, well, there is two points. one is mark corcoiran, tweeted out on thursday that the trump campaign should release their immigration files. so this was a leader of the restrictionist movement calling trump out to come clean on what happened, because it is concerning to them. they are a law and order, you know, group, right. the anti-immigrant groups in the country. the second thing is that you know, she is really, i think that we're going to see her over the next few days, the story that broke night is that she may have lied about how she got her green card. that will be a second waive of the story that will be very concerning. it raises the basic fundamental question whether donald trump, rather than creating a common cause with millions of people through the immigration system, knowingly, demonized them and says so much about who he is, right, instead of creating common cause and we've got to fix the immigration, he has demonized them for his own political advantage, another important piece what we know about him as a leader now. >> just as a journalistic manner, it is incumbent on journalists to explore this. melania trump has made herself a figure in the campaign. plagiarism, the better version of what immigration is supposed to be, this is something journalists are going to keep exploring. >> yes, of course. we have politico working on this, we have four or five reporters working on this. i know that's the case at many other journalistic outlets. she is a very -- she has been a cipher. i wreote about her in april. the only kind of interviews she had given before were these kind of fashion channels and she did a few interviews for people like "people." they were puff stories, what her favorite accessory is and how she raises her son, baron. there is very little known about her. people have been digging, and we're going to continue to dig, even though the trump organization doesn't really make her available. and not very transparent. even though trump supporters then try to intimidate and really hateful ways, reporters who do try to dig into it. >> yeah, well, ask michelle obama, the potential first ladies to get looked into. >> hillary clinton. >> well, yeah, there you go. case in point. very much. keep us up-to-date on how your foia goes and simon and julia, thank you very much. up next, we'll check in on the fun in rio. don't go away. you don't let anything keep you sidelined. that's why you drink ensure. with 9 grams of protein and 26 vitamins and minerals. for the strength and energy to get back to doing... ...what you love. ensure. always be you.

talking about the option of using a nuclear weapon against our western european allies. >> this is not somebody who should be handed the nuclear codes. >> you have to ask yourself, do i want a person of that temperament, control the nuclear codes. and as of now, i would have to say no. >> wow, hillary clinton is pummeling donald trump with attack ads like that blistering one on national security as this heats up. the ad team is using a one-two punch. with one hand, they deliver a jab, revealing donald trump, the dangerous. the right hand cross, it packs a punch like this. >> now where were these made. >> these were made, i don't know, they were made someplace. but they're great. >> ties, shirts, cufflings. >> where are the shirts made. >> bangladesh. we employ people in bangladesh. >> these are beautiful ties. they're made where, china. >> china. >> ouch. join he me now, christina. the ad was devastating. i read one piece, the reason it was devastating, all of those people are republicans, and non-supporters of hillary clinton. >> that's exactly right. >> is that the fundamentals of the one part of the strategy, basically using republicans against donald trump. >> yes, we want american voters to know that even republicans don't feel safe with him as our commander in chief. they have questions about his temperament, his judgment, his knowledge of world affairs. and just don't think he is up to the task, and it is really important for american voters to know that even republicans don't support him. >> even one more. this is the one that gets to, i would maintain, is the big story of the election season, which is trump and russia, which is very weird and in-depth. this is the ad you're playing online about trump and russia. take a look. >> as far as dnc hack, there is strong evidence that indicates it is the work of russian intelligence. >> russia, if you're listening, i hope you're able to find the 30,000 e-mails that are missing. >> that's perhaps one more reason we're not seeing his tax returns, because he is deeply involved in dealing with russia and olagarch. >> who is the audience for that ad, security moms, republicans, independents, who is the audience. >> it is actually all americans. >> right. >> we want people to understand, those are republicans that are saying that this is troubling. this is questionable. you know, we have seen that he has again and again praised putin and we've seen in his policy positions he is basically listing putin's wish list. it is problematic, and we saw yesterday, the former director of the cia, mike morrell, wrote a very powerful piece, saying he is endorsing hillary clinton. something he has never done before. never been involved in politics. >> yeah. >> he served republicans, democrat democrats and he doesn't think he is qualified to the commander in chief and dangerous for national security. one of the reasons he talked about is because of his relationship with butte tputin. he said because putin is a trained kgb agent, he has played on trump's vulnerability and made him an unwitting -- >> i want to play quickly before we pivot to the panel. the ad that's being played against you guys, which just came out. it is an anti-hillary clinton ad that comes up with an old theme used guess democrats. listen. >> trump wants to cut taxes for the super rich. well, we're not going there, my friends. i'm telling you right now, we're going to write fairer rules for the middle class and we are going to raise taxes on the middle class. we are going to raise taxes on the middle class. >> now, i have to say, there is this effect, which i'm for getting the name, where in if you see something, it distorts what you hear. so putting the words, we are going to hear taxes, when everyone heard it, she said aren't. >> she said we're not going to. and so this is just absolutely a false ad. you've seen report after report, this is absolutely false attack. if you look at her positions that she has taken more than a year, she has made it clear that she is not going to raise taxes on the middle class. she will create a fairer tax. >> mcgurk effect. people don't know they're being subjected to it. can't that ad hurt her. >> it is a false attack and we're going to tell people it is not true. they are really twisting her words there. she clearly said are not. >> she said in the midwestern drawl. i want to bring in john rally and hillary clinton -- john rally is by himself. hi, john. so that ad, the trump campaign is using essentially making your eyes see are, when her mouth said aren't, that is an interesting tact for the republicans to take. no? >> it is a little desperate. i think if i was running donald trump, i don't i think would want to make taxes the key part, just as we're about to go into the russians are saying -- trump hasn't released his taxes and it is connected to security. people have a high level of skepticism with political ads, and the bs detector goes off. >> but slowing it down makes it super weird. >> i thought this was an effective ad, but the ad that's running on loop from the clinton campaign that i get at what is the real target, which is white married women and moms. take a listen to the ad about our kids watching. >> you know, you could see there was blood coming out of her eyes. blood coming out of her where ever.

the goals we will strife for, the principles we will live by. and we need to make sure that they can be proud of us. >> john, is that an effective tack? >> i think the two ads that are airing now, the one that has the conservative commentator speaking along with that is a one-two punch. when we test commercials with voters, the thing they react well to, that's more of an emotional ad. and it is a little longer. i think what more effective ad will be the one with the conservatives who are kind of, it's their own words, on other programs, and they're very credibly making the case against trump. it is just the facts, ma'am, approach. the other thing is, i think for hillary's campaign, it is important now that we're into the phase of the -- running against trump is an unfocusing process. it is like trying to box against the tasmanian definitevil. >> very interesting that you mention that. you're hearing sort of the news voices you hear on tv saying the things that scare you. donald trump.

of somebody to be the president of the united states. >> congresswoman, karen bass, called this week for donald trump to undergo an evaluation to prove whether he is mentally fit to be president. many commentators have openly wondered about his sanity. my next guest wrote a piece, "diving into the behavior of donald trump." what science has about it and what it means for the country if he is elected. joining me is northwestern professor, dan p mcadams. you wrote a follow on piece in the guardian, in which you talk about the fact that despite republicans urging really begs trump to be more congenial, he becomes more ee raerratic. >> there is a conspiracy of different psychological forces to create this phenomenon of donald trump. one is a basic trait of angry impulsivity. he lives in the angry moment, i think. this is partly a good thing for him. it appeals to his charisma. gives him energy. he has an impulsive nature to fight back and hit back when you're in the moment. and then you add to that, you know, his goals in life. his biggest goal is to promote himself. it is a narcissistic goal. he has a hold time holding back the impulses. wait, maybe i should think about this. instead, he just hits back. even when he does step back from the situation, and sort of surveys it in a rationale way. he'll consult his philosophy of life, when you are hit, you hit back. it is a tough world out there. so it's a conspiracy of these three things that work together that create these angry moments that he seems to have a very difficult time controlling. >> you've talked about the fact that there have been presidents that had the first trait, the charisma to their personality and some extremely disagreeable, richard nixon, but you haven't had this particular combination, very compulsive, very narcissistic, very angry, disagreeable, but also having this philosophical bed toward fighting back. would donald trump in your view change in any way if he were given the responsibilities, more responsibility, meaning being president? >> well, i thought he was going to change a little bit when -- once he clinched the nomination in indiana and with the gop convention, he would pivot more to the center. we haven't seen much of a change. if anything, he has doubled down on the characteristics already. he has this really high ex tro version, this social dominance. then he has this disagreeableness. two traits that work together. it is very hard to find a politician or former president who has that combination together. you get one or the other. but to be so strong and socially dominant on the one hand and so mean spirited and tough on the other, that's a temperament mix that you typically don't see among people who hold public office. >> can i ask you, just as somebody who studied this, does it worry to have somebody like that as president of the united states. >> yeah, it worries me a bit. i don't want to go to the area of diagnosis and so forth, determining whether or not a man is mentally fit for example for the office, i'm not going to go there. but i do believe this temperament is something that certainly the american people don't expect it. now, he certainly has support, strong support among his admirers, but now that he is on the national stage, it is not serving him well. >> because the problem is not everyone will be his

interesting to see what's happened. look, he has done a very brilliant job in terms of what he represents and who he is representing. if you look at what he has done with syria, if you look at so many of the different things, he has really eaten our president's lunch. he has done an amazing job. he has put himself really as, you know, a lot of people would say he has put himself at the forefront in a short period of time. >> he has been praising vladimir putin for a really long time. that clip was back from 2013. in a stunning op-ed from "the new york times," the former director for the cia, an affinity for putin putting him at compromise for moscow. putin was a career intelligence officer trained to see vulnerability and exploit them. mr. putin played upon mr. trump's vulnerabilities by complimenting him and he responded just as mr. putin had calculated. we would say mr. putin recruited mr. trump as an unwitting agent of the russian federation. that op-ed comes after what may have been the most disastrous week of the campaign so far. attacking a gold star family and ended with this. >> tape was made, right. you saw that with the airplane coming in. mi nice plane. the airplane come in, the money coming off, i guess. it was a perfect angle. nice and steady. nobody getting nervous, because they're going to be shot, because they're shooting a picture of money pouring off a plane. >> nope, nope, nope. didn't happen. nope. on friday, trump walked it back, admitting he didn't see a plane with bad men carrying iran hostage money. he saw a plane on the tv bringing released u.s. detainers to jegeneva. joining me now, four star general, barry mccaffee. that's the big story, it has frightened a lot of people. john schindler, wrote what is was amplified by mike morrell, long-standing rumors, compile -- coupled with the republican nominee steadfast resistance to releasing his tax returns would make any counter intelligence officer wonder what's going on. he says allow me to say i told you so, and i won't allow. malcolm, is this something that intelligence professionals have been worried about about donald trump for a while? >> well, i know certainly for the last two weeks, we've been hammering this point home. there appears to be something going on right now with regards to the trump campaign and certainly with the russian government who appears to be using handling wikileaks that benefits one of the two candidates in this election. you might have seen the comments made by director brennan, current director of the cia, where he believes there are foreign actors who are fundamentally interfering with the american democratic process. and he has concerns about that, as does director of national intelligence clapper. as far as other intelligence practitioner goes, it doesn't matter. what really needs to happen, we need to start digging into this and finding out, is there a relationship, and is there an fsb operation, actually playing out to determine whether they get to choose who the u.s. president is. >> and carl, you're supporting donald trump in the last segment, we spoke with doug who has written a piece who said donald trump is very much in need of flattery. you've had intelligence professionals saying his need for flattery has made him open to be exploited by vladimir putin. does it worry you, the affinity for putin, the affinity for russia, changing the platform to the detriment of nato and benefit russia regarding crimea and ukraine, does it worry you as a trump supporter, carl? >> no, they don't, no. i think it is pretty pathetic the way you people, you go out and pick out nonsense like this, and judging a man. you just had -- >> little nonsense like praising vladimir putin. hold on a second. little nonsense like what. >> >> praising -- oh, absolutely. yeah, no. i think it is nonsense to criticize it. donald trump is a lot smarter, okay, than vladimir putin. and he'll use him to the best -- in the best way he possibly can. there is no question about it. vladimir putin will be drawn in, and you'll see a guy like trump get the best of him. that's the way it is going to be. for you, as the press, to go into that is so, so unfair. and it is just, it is pathetic. i just think, i mean, to even ask that question. questioning trump's sanity, okay, when you've got a d dibolical. >> hold on a second, now, first of all, first of all, that was a lo lovely bit of hiberly. >> whatever. >> first of all, let's get you in here general. you have said a piece, an abusive braggart provoke a co constitutional crisis in a year. you are somebody with three purple hearts of your own and quite a history in this business. is carl right? is it just silly to worry about donald trump being so fond of vladimir putin? >> look, i've tried to stay out of the partisan debate endorsing candidates or whatever, but i must add miadmit, we've never sn this before. there is an element of bellacosity, praising saddam hussein, the guy was a mass murderer, a threat to his own people. mr. putin is leading this mag of any -- magnificent russian country, but admired by mr. trump. so again, i actually think that in the very unlikely event mr. trump was elected, we would be in a near term political and constitutional crisis. and i think it is very unsettling and dangerous to the country. >> do you want to argue with general barry mccarthy, carl? >> oh yeah. where did he get off the bus. i just don't understand -- >> i don't know. the same place he got three -- >> excuse me. >> purple hearts -- >> don't you think he deserves more respect than that. >> his thinking is obviously maligned. he has entered the political world and making silly comments -- >> you know what, we're going to allow -- excuse me. sir, you know what, we can have a little bit more respect for general mick ca general mccaffrey. >> the country is at a decision point and what we want look is stability and common sense, and i find that seriously lacking in mr. trump. he is volatile and unpredictable. >> let's let malcolm nanson, because we've heard, mr. paldino is going to have it over vladimir putin? how do you respond to that, in the intelligence business? >> yeah. it's hard to respond to. first off, vladimir putin wasn't just a kgb officer. vladimir putin rose through the ranks to become the director of the kgb, right. we're talking about the soviet intelligence agency. the type of operation that we can see the framework on that is happening with donald trump and certainly some of his campaign handlers is, you know, is very old school russian style operation, where what you do is recruit a person to act as your so to speak useful idiot by flattery and without giving them any physical or financial inducements to get them to do your bidding as a matter of, you know, as a matter of course. the praise that donald trump gives to russia and just that clip that you played at the beginning of this segment, it just goes to show you that donald trump's interest in vladimir putin's are aligned, but not aligned with the interests of the united states. three things would certainly happen if donald trump were to win the presidency. one, you would see a fracturing of nato. he has already said that he is going to run nato in a technically sort of a racketeering operation where if you don't pay, we don't support you. number two, you'll see the fracturing of the european union, which he has cheered on. number three, he actually said this, he would view russia as becoming the dominant super power in this world and donald trump would become the, you know, the secondary super power, who would play his chris christie to vladimir putin. all of these things would devastate the united states position in the world. it would be a change of almost a, you know, three quarters of a sentry policy. >> yeah. >> the general could speak better to that. >> joy, let me add a comment to that. i think the other thing is, the russians are just playing with us in all this. the russians actually want stability, the last thing they would want is some impulsive person, the most power nation on earth, i think they're probably worried about this now. they would rather have some predictable, law based authority in both nato and the united states. i don't think they want mr. trump elected. >> yeah, and we'll give carl a chance to respond, but i want to add in michael haden, no member of the mainstream media and no democrat. listen to what he had to say about what worries him about donald trump. >> what concerns you most about donald trump? >> how erratic he is, joe. i can argue about this position or that position, i did that with the current president. but he is inconsistent. when you're the head of a global super power, inconsistencies, unpredictabili unpredictability, those are dangerous things. they frighten your friend, and tempt your enemies. and so i would be very, very concerned. >> you have court of intelligence professionals, you have intelligence professionals who in conversations with donald trump had him ask three times why can't you use nukes if you have them, you pretty much are fighting an entire armada experts. what say you to -- >> in your mind. >> not in my mind, but in my ears, because we're listening to them speak. what do you say to the entire co -- chorus. >> when he is not doing russia today, perhaps he could come on. what do you say to the chorus of professionals? >> i think what has happened to you, to all of the panelists, you have been in a conditioned back for a long time of political correctness, and a certain way of doing things. when a guy comes on the scene who shows real leadership qualities, who can talk to the american people, and they can find faith in him and confidence in him that he is going to do the right thing, all right, when that man comes on the scene, you guys just don't know what to do. >> yeah. >> they're going to -- the progressives will lose their influence in the american's minds. >> uh-huh. >> you are in a panic. >> oh, yeah, we're a 35panickin >> crazy accusations. >> carl, thank you very much. >> way out there someplace. >> if you look at the polling, most americans are standing by the intelligence professionals. >> we know what side you're on, ma'am. >> not on vladimir putin's side. i like that stance. thank you very much. coming up next, trump's binders full of women or lack thereof. don't go away. i'm not a customer, but i'm calling about that credit scorecard.

>> well, we would have so many different ones to choose. i can tell you, everybody would say put ivanka in. she is very popular and done very well. you know her very well. but there are really so many that i really talented people, like you. you're so talented and, i don't know, your viewers know that. >> put ivanka in. no binders full of women, who struggled to come up with any names, other than his daughter. yet another moment that highlighted trump's troubles with women. on tuesday, trump was asked how he would feel if ivanka was the target of sexual harassment on the job. trump of course has defended oustet fox news, roger ailes. if that happened to ivanka, he said i would like to think he would find another career or another company. trump let the ladies figure it out, deafated sharply from what ivanka said. and in this fox news earlier this week -- >> i think it is sexual harassment is inexcusable in any form is. if it transpires, it needs to be reported. it needs to be dealt with on a company level. >> joining me now, political consultant, civil rights lawyer and legal analyst,a bloom. thank you, ladies, for being here. i have to go to you first, lisa. my friend, i haven't seen you in too long. we have to get together soon. you've been honing in on this issue of, you know, she is attitudes toward women, this sort of culture of demeaning the women would work for him. you've seen the lawsuit going on there. what do you think the stances toward women will do, just what do you make of them? >> well, it is important to keep in mind that every time that donald trump has had a choice to side with the perpetrator or the acu accus accuser, he has always gone with the perpetrator. i represent jill harth who brought a sexual harassment case against donald trump, back in the 1990s. so you know, donald trump has taken the position that women should just leave if they are sexually harassed. obviously, that helps a perpetrator of sexual harassment and harms women. in fact, it is one of the drivers of the wage gap. when women leave employment, they typically have to start lower and work their way back up again. that's the worst advice you could give to somebody who is sexually harassed, and consistent with donald trump's life. >> and you know, tara, you know trump from being on the apprentice. is this somebody in your view has respect for women. >> he clearly does not see women as equals. when you look at his campaign, he just released the names of economic advisors, not one woman was included in that list. >> i think six people named steve. >> six people named steve, yes, but not one woman. exactly. and nobody actually no economists either. that was the other issue. but this is indicative of his behavior. he does not see women as equals. actions speak louder than words. when you go to his words, listen to any howard stern interview over the years, and you'll know exactly how donald trump feels about him. that is not lost on women voters, which is why you see hillary with a commanding lead, which has not been the case for democrats. >> in 50 years, the nbc/"wall street journal" has clinton up 51/35. when you isolate women, democrats have not been able to win white mwomen. democrats lose every single presidential election going back to lyndon johnson. now she is beating donald trump among women. isn't this is a crisis for your party when you have candidate who seems to be so hostile or so, i won't characterize it, isn't this a problem for your party? >> i think it is hilarious, hillary clinton is not an example for women. >> heidi. >> embarrassed her, humiliated, cheated on her, chased every skirt he could, accused him of rape, and more than one person has, she goes after him. hey, daughters, stay with a powerful man, because you will be nothing without him. hillary knew if she left him 20 years, she would be nothing. she allowed herself to be humiliated. she is no example. i don't know why people are picking on trump. hillary is bad for women. >> ask the question about -- >> no, you mentioned hillary. you mentioned hillary, why are women liking hillary. eye ae responding to you. >> i'm asking you why is he losing white women, if all you've said, brilliant job about doing your talking points. why is hillary clinton winning women including white women over your candidate? >> go figure. i have no idea. >> okay. >> people need to be reminded -- >> you answered my question. you can't tell me why hillary clinton is beating your candidate among women. this is what -- >> -- i don't know. >> you just don't know? >> they don't know hillary clinton. let's go back to lisa bloom. >> lisa, i think the answer is clear. sometimes you have to wonder if donald trump is aware that women have the right to vote, when he calls women dogs, pigs, megyn kelly is bleeding out of her whatever, a word i can't say on tv. probably his most consistent position over his entire life, other than racism, misogyny, right, from the very beginning, up through and including when he is running for president. he cannot resist taking shots at women. and the only woman he can even think of promoting into any kind of position in government is his own daughter, ivanka trump. are you kidding me. he hasn't even made an effort to come up with a single name to come up with some kind of position that is palpable to women. the reason he is losing with women because women are paying attention. women did not appreciate being dis aren't disrespect disrespected. we don't want this man in office knowing our daughters are watching. >> heidi, care to respond. >> doesn't anybody remember what hillary clinton -- >> okay, we're going to -- >> you know what -- >> you're talking about donald trump. >> you know what, heidi, i need you for one answer. just one. answer what you just heard about donald trump. if you can't defend him, just say you can't defend him. >> do i think that donald trump says stupid things about women, yes. do i think he likes pretty things who obtains beautiful women, sure, absolutely. do i think he is a crappy example, he has had three wives and five kids and cheated on some of them at least we know for sure he has admitted to, i don't think he is a great example. >> that's enough for me. that's enough for me, heidi. thank you. i feel like we've had -- >> hillary is not good for women, first of all, she respected her vows of marriage, which is what you're supposed to do. this is the party of -- >> where is your dignity. >> this is the party that claims to be of family values. she stuck to her vows. let's talk about the substance. when it comes to equal pay, hillary clinton is where she needs to be on equal pay. she has been an advocate and fighter. when it comes to empowering women economically on her very campaign, ensuring women are in leadership roles, i know people personally on that campaign and vendors, women on businesses, who are receiving economic opportunities versus donald trump, who has put contractors out of business with his -- with his business practices. so when it comes to the substance, when it comes to actions, because at the end of the day, actions speak louder that words, hillary clinton is the one who is there and has a track record of fighting for women. >> well -- >> she can't fight for herself. she didn't fight for her own dignity. >> i think she's doing all right. i'm going to give lisa the last word. this is an important question. it is tricky to deal with some of these issues of sexual harassment, et cetera, lisa. do you feel that it has been handled well in terms of us, the press, in terms of digging into these issues. >> no, i've been appalled at how little the press is interested in my client, jill hart for example, who has had the courage to come forward with her name, face and story. she has done a couple of stories with the foreign press, the american press wants to stay away from this story. with regard to bill clinton, he is not running for office. i'm surprised at conservatives who would judge a woman's decision whether to stay in a marriage or get out of a marriage, i'm no fan of bill clinton's behavior to be honest with you. but i don't judge other people's marriages and their tough decisions, many people stay in marriages after their husband cheating. to say that you know better, heidi, what hillary clinton should have done back in the 1990s, after her husband cheats on her, i find to be really opposition to conservative values, which would say let a woman make that choice for herself. >> yeah. >> she should be able to -- >> i think that's fair. >> that's going beyond -- >> another break through. i'm going to leave on that break through that you respect her right to make her own decisions. i like that point agreement to leave it on. we'll be back. so much more, "am joy," after the break. from the moment they wake up, doers don't stop. every day is a chance to do something great. and for the ones they love, they'd do anything. sears optical has glasses made for doing. right now, buy one pair and get another free. quality eyewear for doers. sears optical (jessica) so the new recipe of beneful is really excellent. the first ingredient is chicken.

do you expect the supreme court to leave it as is? >> i think supreme court will leave it as is. this was a unanimous decision. the judge that wrote the opinion actually dissented, and she received a whole record reviewed it and saw that this was not just despaired impact, but intentional discrimination, you know, these talking points get so ridiculous after a while, you know, trump saying that there is voter fraud, that's what they claimed was the reason for them filing this new law, this voter suppression law, not voter i.d. law, voters suppression law, and there was no fraud any where. now they're claiming our governor is suggesting that somehow these jurists that are above reproach were in some kind of conspiracy, partisan conspiracy. that sounds more like the similar thing george wallace said in the 1960s rather than what a 21st century governor should be saying. >> your governor is up for reelection, he isn't doing so well in the polls, the latest polls shows him slightly behind the democrat, whose name is roy cooper. it is 49 for cooper, 45 for pat mick core mckrorry. do you think this aggressive voter, what you call voter d disenfranchisement laws. >> what we know with the movement, the more we put light on what is happening and the to total regression. this is not the way we should have a progressive state particularly in the south. we've seen his poll numbers fall. >> when these laws were enacted, we know the shelby decision opened the floodgates for states that used to be clearance to pass the pass these laws. did you feel the intent was open, where legislators being very open about their intent. it seems the court ruling makes it sound they didn't even hide what they were trying to do. >> well, they didn't. they refused to have hearings on the second part of the law. they resisted the things that we put before them. they distorted, literally lied and said it was about fraud and th then speaker tillis said it wasn't about fraud. i just finished a rally i read five pages of the decision, all of them talking about intentional. this is what they did. they asked for the statistics. they told their statistician, give us the statistics on same day, voter i.d., 16, 17-year-old registration and show us how it impacts these different demographics, and the things they took from voters were the things that african-americans used the most. that's what they mean by surgical precision. they requested this information. and then once they had the facts in their hands, of what benefited african-americans or people of color, those are the laws they tried to change in this house bill 589 voter suppression bill. >> was this in reaction to then senator barack obama won the state in 2008, and how close it was in 2012? did you feel that the fact of it becoming essentially a swing state, north carolina, sort of directly led to these changes? >> indeed. when we -- you look back at 2008, president obama would have lost if all we had was an election. he won due to early voting. remember, these are things we fought for years, 20 years. we fought. today, you know, it is the anniversary of the voting rights act, august 6, 1965. we fought, we won, we saw massive turnout in 2008, and we can document 75,000 voters that were suppressed. this is about north carolina, the falling of the solid south, the wall in the south. you've heard me say it before, the south itself. any where you've seen the voter suppression law, you've seen the historic tuout what we saw in north carolina, historic turnout we have not seen since reconstructs in the 19th century. that scares extremists, because they know if you have massive voter turnout among african-americans, the solid south is no longer solid and you can shake up the whole nation. >> thank you for remining for r. as much as john roberts say the past is the past, you've seen federal courts rebuke these laws, half a dozen of them going down in the last few months. keep fighting the good fight. thank you so much. >> thank you so much. next up, in 20 minutes, msnbc picks up olympics coverage. after the break we'll fill you in on what's coming up. stay right there. ♪ only those who dare drive the world forward. introducing the first-ever cadillac ct6. so guys with ed can... take viagra when they need it. ask your doctor if your heart is healthy enough for sex. do not take viagra if you take nitrates for chest pain or adempas® for pulmonary hypertension. your blood pressure could drop to an unsafe level. to avoid long-term injury, seek immediate medical help for an erection lasting more than four hours. stop taking viagra and call your doctor right away if you experience a sudden decrease or loss in vision or hearing. ask your doctor about viagra single packs. the 2016 summer games, official olympic games, with opening ceremonies last night. n nbc is the home of the olympics and joining us is rob sim simalcare. >> hey, joy. great to hear your voice. we cannot wait to kick offer the msnbc at noon. the first gold medal has been awarded to a 19-year-old ginny thrasher, a sophomore engineering student at west virginia. meanwhile, on msnbc today, we'll have the quarter, semi for team archery. k kaminski, facing brazil in what promises to be a wild scene in rio. women's beach volleyball from the famous copacabana beach. >> i'm looking forward to gymnastic. the team is everything. of course, given the fact that our director is from down under, we're looking for dressage. what about you?

>> well, who won the week, because at the beginning of the week, there was a chance that the dangerous, unstable and incompetent demagogue may have had a relistic chance at being president, and now we can relax a little bit. >> do you think the poll numbers are -- we've seen them swing back and forth. a lot of people just vote for republican, because they're republicans. do you think his cratering in the polls will last? >> probably not. but i think he is in a downward spiral that will be very, very hard to get out of. when you get a certain persona in the media, when dan quayle was said not to be too bright, trump is being identified as dangerous and unstable. i don't know how he can change that in the amount of time left in the election. >> you've got, you know, "saturday night live" will kickback in and in a couple of weeks, people will be distracted by the olympics. rick, who do you think won the week. >> it's hard to say anyone won the week. donald trump clearly lost the week, as republicans have the vortex of the black hole that trump as dance see h trump candicacy. there was a lot of news out this week that would not have been good for the clinton campaign, including the $400 million hostage money. >> oh, rick, rick, rick, hold on. hold on. i have to stop you there. do you know what that $400 million was, pop quiz? >> yeah, the $400 million was left over money from a failed defense -- >> a defense contract with who, though, with who? with the shah rhaza, we did a deal, they took us to court, we've been in court since 1979. >> i understand all that, but what -- >> it had nothing to do with your guy. unlike your guy, this isn't hostages. it was a settlement. no, not going to let you do that. rick, rick, rick. >> on the same day that the hostages were released. >> rick, rick, rick, rick, rick, rick, rick. >> you gets an olympic gold for hosting today. that's called major host suck up, because i'm trying to be spared these last few minutes. >> no, dear, you know that, rick, you're smart guy. i know you know better than that. that was a deal with our guy in iran. we put the shah in iran. we did an arms deal. >> that's right. >> we settled in january and you know it. >> the same day they released the hostages. >> you know it. rick knows it is true. i'm giving him the credit. he is a strategist. >> tara, who won the week. >> presint obama won the week. he got his post convention bump that continues to be steady and stabilized, locked in, not a fluke. on top of it, 255,000 jobs in the month of july. this president has not gotten the credit that he deserves for having turned the economy around under the worst circumstances while being fought the whole time by republicans and now people are starting to see, starting to wake up. what a great president he has been. >> i'm sorry to throw my producers off for a loop here. we have a chart that shows the growth of employment. it is pretty impressive. look at that. stunning job. the president is presiding over economy that if this were a republican president, they would be running on this. should democrats be running on this, because their personal economic situation isn't good. >> i think they should, but also talk about -- it is a both and situation. you talk about how bad things were, how president obama looked to stabilize, how president obama's job was to pull us out of the ditch. hillary clinton will address the issues that have been decades long until the making, including income inequality. that's the next chapter. >> bruce, when you see that chart and look at this, 4.9% unemployment, if this were a republican, wouldn't republicans be touting it every single day. >> of course, jobs, jobs, jobs. it is interesting that trump hasshas essentially no economic plan whatsoever. he hasn't putting in realistically together. he put out a list of economic advisors the other day, none of whom are economists. none of them clue the council of economic advisors or any of the usual republican economic advisors. i think they're all running away from trump. they know his economic plans are nuts. they just don't want to be disloyal to the party. so they keep their mouth shut. >> yeah and rick, you can't argue with that, right, rick? >> it's hard to argue. the jobs report was a good report. the gdp has been down. this is one of the worst economic -- >> oh, rick. >> come on, joy. >> i know, rick, you tried. but rick, you know what, i'm going to end this on a good note. it is our fabulous stage manager, joe a applesauce. he and janine are getting married. congratulations from the whole "am joy" team. rick congratulates you more than anyone else. thank you very much, tara, rick tyler, bruce bartlett. and congratulations, joey apple sauce. we welcome you back after your honey monday. up next, live coverage of the rio olympic games, right here on msnbc. ♪ americans are buying more and more of everything online. and so many businesses rely on the united states postal service to get it there. because when you ship with us, your business becomes our business. that's why we make more ecommerce deliveries to homes than anyone else in the country. the united states postal service. priority: you every day is a chance to dop, something great.. and for the ones they love, they'd do anything. sears optical has glasses made for doing. right now, buy one pair and get another free. quality eyewear for doers. sears optical ♪ using 60,000 points from my chase ink card i bought all the framework... wire... and plants needed to give my shop... a face... no one will forget. see what the power of points can do for your business. learn more at chase.com/ink see what the power of points can do for your business. get between you and life's dobeautiful moments.llergens flonase gives you more complete allergy relief. most allergy pills only control one inflammatory substance. flonase controls 6. and six is greater than one. flonase changes everything. ♪ ... 83% try to eat healthy. yet up 90% fall short in getting key nutrients from food alone. let's do more. add one a day women's gummies. complete with key nutrients we may need... ...plus it supports bone health with calcium and vitamin d. one a day vitacraves gummies. no one has won more, the most dominant in olympic history, and it's pure gold! welcome to day one of the rio olympic games on msnbc. i'm rob simmelkjaer we kick things off with the women's volleyball. send it to copacabana beach. here's jason knapp and dain blanton. >> just under way. it is opening session of play here in rio under way, and the team of elsa and the
