President ial election oxygen, the fbi and its now embattled director. The latest this hour on that investigation into clintons emails. Joining me now, nbcs katy tur at trumps second stop of the day in wisconsin and Steve Kornacki. Trump is on the trump trying to focus on obamacare but overnight headlines say hes a dubious taxpayer and russian defender. Reporter still more allegations thrown out there. Donald trump keeps trying to bat away this idea he has a connection to russia. Also, the new documents that show he potentially avoided millions of dollars in taxes by using legally dubious methods. They are denying flatly all of the allegations that are coming out against him. In regards to the investigation of potential investigation into paul manafort, manafort says none of it is true and that he suggests this is democratic propaganda. The New York Times tax dodger story, they say a fundamental misunderstanding or a intentional misreading of the law. Theyre denying pretty much everything out of hand at this point. The campaign is trying to stay on message. They believe they have a golden opportunity to hammer home three points that could get donald trump ground going into next week, or the very least, help those embattled downballot candidates. The three things are the Donna Brazile cnn email controversy. Donna brazil potentially giving Hillary Clinton questions to a town hall. Also the premiums for obamacare care rising and this idea that Hillary Clinton is still under investigation by the fbi for her emails. They believe that all of these things put together feeds into the narrative that they want to have out there, which is that there is a rigged system. One with a different set of rules for career politicians than for everybody else. And they believe that this is something thats going to not only potentially sway some independent voters but more importantly bring home republican voters. Thats who they need going forward. They need as Many Republicans to support them as they possibly can. They need the moderate republicans on the fence, those uncomfortable with donald trump to come home to say Hillary Clinton is a worse option. I need to vote the ticket of my party. And that is so far what we are seeing with a number of Party Leaders today. Paul ryan saying that he voted for donald trump, even though he refused to say Donald Trumps name. Also ted cruz saying he voted for donald trump in an early ballot. It is working to an extent. Is it enough to get him over the edge . We have to wait and see. Some polls are tightening, but not all of them. It could just be outliers. We still have yet to see what the effect of this new fbi revival will be on the polls during this next week. Well dive into the numbers with Steve Kornacki. Pete, lets go from the action on the trail to the infreeingin in washington because the fbi set off this political firestorm with the emails found on Anthony Weiners laptop. How is the fbi going through these emails today . Whats their process . The process is slow, were told, but methodical and not having any technical problems. Dont have a bottom line to give you. A dont have a percentage. I dont have a little progress bar at the bottom of the computer screen. They simply dont know how long its going to take. The outside experts we talked to thought it would be just a matter of hours to, for example, figure out how many of the emails are duplicates of those were already seeing. Apparently thats not the case. So, at the 50,000foot level here, thomas, there was some hope over the weekend when this process began as soon as they got the search warrant on sunday afternoon that we could perhaps have an answer and perhaps some readout by today. Thats obviously not going to happen now. And its not at all clear that theyll even be an answer before election day. They simply dont know. They cant say how long its going to take to begin to get the answers of the kind of thins we want to know. And given that, they cant say when how long this is going to take. We just dont know. A lot of uncertainty here, although they say theyre not having technical problems. Its just taking a long time. Okay, so this shadow remains active right now over Hillary Clinton. Lets go to kasie hunt, whos on the trail with clintons campaign. Hillary clinton appears later this hour with a female latino immigrant. Many would call that trumps kryptonite, kasie. Her campaign on all hitting seven different states today. Reporter thats right. This is really the final push for all democrats supporting Hillary Clintons campaign. But today i think designed a little bit to change the subject, or try to anyway, away from what wie learned from the fbi over the course of the last few days. Shell be appearing here with alisa machado, the former Miss Universe that came up in that first debate. She said donald trump called her miss piggy and miss housekeeping. She was the subject of an ad for the Clinton Campaign, et cetera. So they really want to focus on Donald Trumps remarks over the years about women. They also have a oneminute ad out today. Well see if it works. I will tell you, thomas, bill clinton also here in florida hitting three different cities. Primarily africanamerican areas. Thats really a goal here for both hillary and bill clinton, drive up africanamerican and hispanic turnout here in the state. Bill clinton actually found he got a little bit of support from some voters in florida. Take a look. I was in North Carolina a couple days ago. At North Carolina at t had had their homecoming. So, for the first time in my life on sunday i got to go to Church Services in a hotel. Because they moved the Church Services to where the alumni were. And they chanted, those emails aint going to change my mind. We already know its hillarys time. Reporter so, you can see bill clinton talking there a little bit about feeling some support from the base. This, of course, is what democrats had been hoping might come out of their of this whats gone on with fbi director james comey. It explains a little bit of their strategy of going so aggressively after comey. Frankly, they really need their base to turn out. Right now, the question is, can they hit the same numbers as president obama did. Unlikely, but they need to get close enough that they get out enough voters to win. And hitting comey potentially fires up some of those base voters, which i think is what you heard bill clinton talking about there, thomas. Lets dive into those numbers. Steve kornacki standing by for us. Trump touting this new abc News Washington post poll showing him leading Hillary Clinton by one point. Thats the only one that shows him in the lead. What can we believe with the polls . Just a week or two ago donald trump was looking at this exact same poll and showing Hillary Clinton up 12 points. He was saying this was a rigged poll. When he went on the whole rant against the pollsters. A short while ago, this is the one he was talking about. What a difference one poll can make. This is the abc News Washington post tracking poll. They now show donald trump ahead by one point. How do they explain this . How do they explain whats going on here . They point to one word. Enthusiasm. They say that what they are seeing now, what they werent seeing before, is that more people say they are enthusiastic or very enthusiastic about going out and voting for donald trump than who say that about going out and voting for Hillary Clinton. That is a change, they say, they have been seeing in the past couple weeks. Its not just related to the fbi, to the emails. It was predating that, a movement in the race a little bit. But theyre pointing to enthusiasm. So they say thats where this new result came from. As you say, look, this is not the only poll out there. We have a whole bunch of polls out there. We have our new nbc News Survey Monkey poll. There you go. Then we have here pretty consistently weve seen Hillary Clinton leading, this is a weekly tracking poll we do. Right now we see Hillary Clinton ahead by six. We havent seen any change in this poll from the fbi email story. Again, that lead of about five, six points for Hillary Clinton. That has been pretty steady throughout the fall. The bottom line, we have a lot of different polls floating around out there. We have a lot of volatility in this race. You hear that word unprecedented to describe the email story this late in the campaign. Its an unprecedented story. Might be a fluid situation. Might take a few days to really sort this out. Bottom line, if you average together all the different polls you have out there right now, you still do see Hillary Clinton leading this race by about four, five points, somewhere in that range. Fluid, volatile, but the average, she is still leading. Seven days to go and hallie jackson, lets go to you because we know katy tur reported about the speaker of the house, paul ryan, and senator ted cruz getting their early votes in. Paul ryan, though, specifically talking about the election. Take a listen. I stand where i stood all fall and all summer. In fact, i already voted in janesville for our nominee last week in early voting. We need to support our entire republican ticket. So, you voted for donald trump and youre encouraging republicans and democrats and independents, anybody who will listen, to vote for donald trump . I am supporting our entire republican ticket. I have been all along. You voted for donald trump. Did you see that side glance he got when it came through his ear piece of what the folks on that couch were saying . Body language reading. Yeah, i voted for trump. Read between the lines and how this characterizes their relationship. Its no surprise. He said he was going to vote for donald trump. Ted cruz said he was going to vote for donald trump about a month and a half ago. We sort of knew these men were going to hold to their word, thats what they would do. Whats interesting about that appearance, he said the republican nominee, as hes been saying. Its he who shall not be named. The words donald trump not escaping from paul ryans lips. Hes saying what he needs to say, yes, i support the republican ticket up and down the ballot, which is very, very important to paul ryan. He wants to make sure that these vulnerable members of congress count ballot are okay. The other part you talk about the relationship, i thought it was interesting in that interview he acknowledged only heard about donald trump coming to wisconsin about ten minutes before the rest of the world knew. Clearly, theres not going to be a ton of communication between Donald Trumps team, his advance team, and paul ryan staffers. I will say this, the speaker has been out on the campaign trail a lot over the last month or so, pushing for these downballot republicans. Speaking of downballot republicans, lets talk about the new missouri poll that just came out within the last hour showing roy blunt up one percentage pointed over jason kander there. That is a change from where this race was in august. So, a lot of folks are keeping an eye on that because thats going to be a potentially a bellweth bellwether. Its anomaly and it cant an anamly and bellwether. Did you get a blast of rock music . Lets go back to kasie hunt in florida. Just the sevenstate attack of Hillary Clinton with seven days to go. She has herself and her surrogates positioned where they need to be in these heavily worked battleground states. So, talk about the enthusiasm of folks youre seeing there in florida. Reporter well, thomas, youre seeing them be pretty strategic about where they send their surrogates in the final days. You had Bernie Sanders in New Hampshire today. Of course, he won there by big margins. I think they really are trying to remind people that, you know, hey, this guy you backed in the primary, hes with Hillary Clinton now and he thinks its really important that you show up. There are, of course, is some concern, near the top of the list of concern, based on this fbi news of the past couple of days, because it tends to be kind of such an independent, swing type state. Its possible this could have saved Kelly Ayottes senate seat for her, at least helped her. Of course, you have president obama tomorrow heading to North Carolina. They view him as somebody who can really fire up particularly africanamericans, and also latinos. And thats something that, frankly, they really need in North Carolina. If you think about that state, whats driving dpems there. Its College Educated white voters in the rallydurham Research Triangle area and africanamericans. Hes going out there to speak to them. You also have bill clinton here in florida doing two stops, also talking quite a bit to africanamerican voters. Youll remember talking to africanamericans in the south is some of what gave bill clinton that famous reputation he has as somebody who is so, so good at retail politics. So, thats what theyre trying to do here today. Clinton herself, of course, shortly coming down here. Again, trying to focus on the early vote in particular. 4 Million People have already voted here in the state of florida. Real quickly, do we know if shes on time . If so, this should hit around 2 45 when we see her . Reporter shes approximately on time. She just landed. We heard a clinton official gaggled midflight. Hopefully well have news. The clinton plane doesnt have terribly reliable wifi. We learned about that on friday. Reporter still not reliable. As soon as we get that, well bring it straight to you. Thank you so much, kasie hunt, katy tur, Steve Kornacki, appreciate it. As we wait for Hillary Clinton to speak in florida, team trump is under fire over a report revealing the gop nominees tax dodge stretched the law beyond recognition. Well ask one of his senior advisers whether its time for trump to come clean with his tax returns. Later this hour, some news you could use, especially if your political gas tank is running on e. 30 seconds to help you take your mind off the election right here on msnbc. Im here in bristol, virginia. And now. Im in bristol, tennessee. On this side of the road is virginia. And on this side its tennessee. No matter which state in the country you live in, you could save hundreds on Car Insurance by switching to geico. Look, im in virginia. Im in tennessee. Virginia. Tennessee. And now im in virginessee. See how much you could save on Car Insurance. Or am i in tennaginia . Hmmm. While the Clinton Campaign has been rocked by news the fbi is renewing its investigation into her private email server, donald trump is faying his own flood offing intive headlines. His former Campaign Manager is under scrutiny for suspected ties to russia and trump himself accused of tax dodging. But they do remain on offense out on the campaign trail, talking about policies today. Specifically obamacare. With donald trump there in pennsylvania. Joining me is Trump Campaign senator adviser jack kingston. We know Hillary Clinton is appearing later this hour with former Miss Universe machado. Do you think this will work to get under Donald Trumps skin, just like it did before . Are you worried about that . I dont think so. I think we learned our lesson on that, thomas. Were not going to be engaging. I think American People, particularly those in pennsylvania, are far more worried about their obamacare premiums going up 53 , or if they were in arizona, 116 , or in North Carolina, 40 increases. So, those are all three important states in this election. Thats a very, very relevant issue. You know, i think if you look at the average family, they may even be confused about Hillary Clinton possibly being under criminal investigation from the fbi, but whether they are or whether they arent confused, they do know their obamacare care premiums are increasing and theyre very worried about that. And i think theyre going to remember it next tuesday particularly. Seven days to go and we have nbc news confirming the fbi conducting a preliminary inquiry into former trump Campaign Manager paul manafort, and trump continues to insist he has no relationship with russia. I want to play for everybody what he told me specifically in november of 2013. Do you have a relationship with vladimir putin, a conversational relationship or anything you feel you have sway or influence over his government . Do i have a relationship. And i can tell you that hes very interested in what were doing here today. Hes probably very interested in what you and i are saying today, and im sure hell be seeing it in some form. But i do have a relationship with him. Sir r you confident trump doesnt have ties to russia that could impact the decisions he would make as presiden
