She gets rich making you poor. Hillary clinton at the state Department Approved the transfer of 20 of americas Uranium Holdings to russia. Nine investors in the deal funneled 145 million to the Clinton Foundation. The Clinton Foundation helps
poor people around the world get access to lifesaving aids medicine. Donald trump produces poor people around the world to produce his suits and ties. Welcome back to morning joe. Its great to have you here this morning. Its very interesting. There you actually had donald trump prepare a speech, deliver a speech, have a planned line of attack and even at times be hopeful. New york times talking about him breathing new life into americas new industries and creating a second Industrial Age and there you had Hillary Clinton defending the Clinton Foundation. Much different than things have been in the past. Interesting day. Fascinating things unfolding on the floor, house floor, historic and of course weve got brexit in england right now. Weve got a lot to cover and very little time to get there, willie. They only give us three hours and we need six. You keep asking for that fourth hour. Good morning. Thursday, june 23rd. Mika has the day off. Nicolle wallace, nbc contributor, the legend, mike barnicle. Thank you. They are not booing. They are saying legend area. Political writer from the New York Times and renowned ad man Donny Deutsch. Renowned. Renowned. You should protest that. Washington anchor from bbc in london with brexit. Well get to that historic vote. What did you think, willie, first of all trump and clintons response to trump. I thought it was pretty fascinating. On the sliding scale of trump as political candidate, he had a message, one of the best days he had on the campaign trail. He did drift as it werent on to some of the conspiracy stuff. He said the one line, im for her, he said im for you. That sounds like something you guys would get together in a room of professionals and say this is our message. I thought that was a great moment. I was here for the live coverage of it and it ended in katy tur analyzing it as if its a normal politician delivering a normal speech. Tied my head in a knot. Wait, you have to judge trump on a 24hour mission. What was more impressive than speech, well crafted and delivered, he managed to get through the rest of the day without stepping on his own message. That was the test to see if republicans were looking at him to see if he could pass. He passed the performance test and also passed not stepping on his own message. No doubt about it. Donny deutsch, what was so fascinating, after he gave the speech, some people came to him on the campaign and said, hey, listen, youve got several interviews scheduled throughout the day, like he does every day, why dont you just let your speech speak for itself. Donald trump for the first time in the campaign said, okay, and he did. So were talking about a planned speech that smart people helped put together instead of something he said off the top of his head at 7 34 last night when he was tired. I find it astounding were amazed when he walks and chews gum at the same time. Were not giving him gold stars. Joe. Make no mistake. Were saying he needs to show some discipline and he showed some discipline. Last night, amazing, he read off the teleprompter. Hes getting gold stars. He basically didnt i thought it was the kitchen sink, saying hillary was completely responsible for all the problems of the middle east. The fact hes getting gold stars or kudos or positive affirmation for reading the teleprompter, not going off the rails giving a very all over the map kitchen sink, i think we need i dont think anyone i say he passed the test. What is that test . Acting like a normal human being. 1. 3 million and entire Republican Leadership had to rebuke him every week for the last four weeks. Throw cereal against the
yard. Were not throwing a parade, were just suggesting there was movement. Here is the most important thing, mike barnicle. When donald trump drives a run away beer truck with hair on fire shooting with both hands out both windows, shouting p profani profanities. Hes tied in ohio, when hes the worst politician of all time hes tied in ohio and pennsylvania. This why does this matter . Because if he gets on a disciplined game, then suddenly republicans go, wait a second, and its already started. I can write a check to this guy. They are raising a lot of money online. Youre doing to see that in a few weeks. Its doing to start rolling in. Why does it matter hes acting like a normal human being . Republicans say im glad hes acting like a normal human being for once. I think i might write him a check. It matters. Lets pretend it doesnt matter. It does matter, theres no doubt about it. Nicole edged up to what was going on yesterday in that we have to cover its sort of like trump today. Thats the coverage. What does he do today. Does he revert back to who he is. He got a 24hour reprieve. Donny is right. If you look at the text of that speech, what was it about . It was a torrent of insults toward Hillary Clinton, very little substance. The substance he did reference causes potentially Great Division with his own political party. He was talking about rebuilding america. Hes really talking about a huge job program. A america he remembers building
roads, canals, spending an enormous amount of government money. Guess what, mike, thats called the pivot. He was talking to bernie supporters saying youve been let down. These trade deals with let us down. Im going to bring bk a new Industrial Age. Im going to bring jobs back to america. Yes, i will use the power of government to do that. There are a hell of a lot of bernie supporters, people from wisconsin, michigan, ohio, pennsylvania, who say thats the message. You look at a pew poll were going to be talking about in a little bit, willie geist, and americans are more divided than ever before. Those people, those republicans are going to vote for trump if he shows them hes safe. He can afford to move to the center and talk about rebuilding roads, infrastructure, rebuilding america, bringing jobs back to america and actually tart stealing democratic votes. Thats at least a theory of the case and its been working now for him for about 12 hours. Nobody is overselling this, simply stating what happened yesterday, which is our job. Thats why i said at the top its a sliding scale. Were grading him on the curve. Well see if he can maintain this. Well see if he can maintain this for the next 12 hours. Here is a little of what he said yesterday. This election will decide whether were ruled by the people or by the politicians. Hillary clinton has perfected the politics of personal property and even theft. She ran the state Department Like her own personal hedge fund doing favors for oppressive regimes and many others, many, many, others, in exchange for cash. Pure and simple, folks. The choice of this election is a choice from taking it back from special interest or surrendering the last scrap of total and complete control to people like the clintons. Americans are the people that tamed the west, that dug out the panama canal, that sent satellites across the solar system. That built the great dams and so much more. Then we really started thinking small. Something happened to our mentality. We started thinking small. We stopped believing in what america could do and became reliant on other countries, other people, and other institutions. We lost our sense of purpose and daring. But thats not who we are. In this story that had some
tough rebuke critiques of trump, she did also say it was a more hopeful speech. Certainly get the tone of it there instead of america is not great anymore, even lines written there. Thats not who we are. We can build a new Industrial Age. That is a more hopeful message for americans to digest. Well, also i heard in that speech really targeting the things most vulnerable Hillary Clinton and things that might be most appealing to middle, swing voters. Jobs programs, infrastructure spending, things frankly republicans are lucky to touch in a general election, going after a trustworthiness. A lot of americans are worried and skeptical about what they have read about the foundation and donors of the foundation clantsd and state department and those are points of vulnerability. If he can stay sort of in that lane, he can probably do a per
job. Im just wondering if the part of trump made him successful and fired up people, fired up his insurrection of the party, can he dividit from the part of him that can win the whole election. If he tames it down too much, is he going to lose those people who are so excited to see his manner and pluntness and sometimes his overbluntness. I think thats the real challenge. Its a balance. Personally i dont think a lot of Trump Supporters are going to go anywhere for now, the hard core supporters. If they were going to go somewhere, they would have had thousands of excuses to do it already. They arent going to do it because hes using a teleprompter, i dont think. Katty kay, it was interesting going after Hillary Clinton really harsh, calling her a worldclass liar. He keyed in on something. Donald trumps achilles heel, at
least donald trump thinks, Trump University, Hillary Clinton, i really think is the Clinton Foundation. There were so many cases other countries would come talk to her. Bill clinton would a couple months be getting 550,000 in that country for a onehour speech. It just reminded me of a puncher punching somebody where somebody was bruised already. I think they really hit a spot of vulnerability for Hillary Clinton. There she was responding just a couple hours later. Yeah, but i thought that response was pretty effective, downtown, joe. The way she immediately came back and said donald trump has been selling steaks and wine and water and all those things we saw behind him on stage in florida, Clinton Foundation has been helping poor people around the world. Havent had a huge amount because the focus has been so much on the email issue and her time in the state department. Around the Clinton Department that may come out much more and donald trump may drive that exposure much more, but so far i think most people when they look at Hillary Clinton and think untrustworthy, what is it you dont like about her, its not the Clinton Foundation people are talking about, its the email issue people are talking about. I agree with nick. I think theres a tone issue for donald trump. He read the teleprompter fine, gave a boilerplate speech, he didnt sound like donald trump. He didnt sound like the excited, happy candidate to be out there, who loves bashing people and loves the tone of his own voice. I think this is going to be really hard for him to maintain because it doesnt feel natural to him. Nicole, what do you think . I think in the same way we cant throw a parade for him because he had a 45minute
message discipline. I got a text from my focus group who was thrilled seeing him speaking to a script, thought the idea his family in control, people he works with day in and day out on the business side, know how his brain is wired was a hopeful point. His supporters havent walked away because of four consecutive weeks of racism skanlts arent going to walk away because he didnt titillate them on teleprompter. Donny, let me ask you something and get your response. We have been talking about emails because theres an active fbi investigation, thats why were talking about emails and not foundation. I dont think americans cared whether trump steaks or Trump University failed or not, that cuts to the core of what 2016 is about, people in chain, feel like government let them down. I actually do think money, Clinton Foundation, all the questions swirling around that, i do think that seems to fit more tightly the antigovernment mood this year that somebody within the state department used their power, used their influence so people in the family could make 550,000 delivering a onehour speech. That actually fits the system is rigged theory much more than trump told steaks purchase im doing to giveette a tie, a wash on both. Its not just steaks. Its that hes flimflam artist, making money off the little guy. I call it a wash on the other side. Clinton status quo, establishment used to make money, a wash on both sides. I think the overall on both
sides, continuing to sell hillary as untrustworthy overall and continuing to sell truch as potentially dangerous overall. Those are subheads but still add up to those big microbrand stickers. Whoever paints a bigger picture, a bigger brand sticker on the other one wins this one. Joe, off of what donnys last reference there to people thinking might be dangerous, we v alluded to it but 99 of the people watching dont know who he is but hes an important guy in Foreign Policy establishment, important guy in Foreign Policy circles, National Security circles. I suspect hes the first of those types of people who will endorse hrk and that gets to an unknown quality in this election. Donald trump National Securityand is he capable do people want him sitting there with the hand on the nuclear button. First i think the answer is a resounding no. Untrustworthy and more of the same. Thats the choice. I actually think i do think a lot more people know who Brent Scowcroft is. The two labels people attach. For trump, its dangerous, too dangerous to take that chance. Thats what they tried with Ronald Reagan in 1980, jimmy carter failed. But thats what you have to do with donald trump. On hillarys side its corrupt, too corrupt to trust with the presidency of the United States and she proved it with the state department. Dangerous versus corrupt, thats probably how this thing is going to break out. If theres one thing on Hillary Clinton you see again and again in polls and weakness, its just that, not trustworthy, something not quite right with the clintons and hes got to throw up that. I said the word of the day. Gechlt estault. Trying to force vote on gun measures led by civil rights leader lewis. I never dreamed one day after coming to congress i would have to sit in on the floor of the house, sit down and occupy the will of the house.
