Conway. Margin of panic. With the polls tightening, thats one way to describe what Hillary Clinton supporters are feeling. Whats behind clintons sinking numbers . Joining me for insight and analysis are alex castellanos, maureen dowd, cornel belcher and katy tur. Welcome to sunday, its meet the press. Good sunday morning. Americans woke up with yet another reminder that were all living under the threat of violence and terror. An explosion rocked Lower Manhattan around 8 30 last night wounding more than two dozen people. Later, a second Pressure Cooker device, a Pressure Cooker bomb like the one in the Boston Marathon attack was found two blocks to the north. Richard engel, who happened to joins me this morning. Richard, what can you tell us what we have learned about this incident this morning . Reporter well, it was a loud explosion. It didnt cause a great deal of damage. It shattered a lot of windows and apparently went off incitsia dumpster. Some windows up to the fourth story were shattered. Were not seeing a lot of scorched ground, were not seeing a huge crater. It seems toe explosive device. A few blocks from where i am, an unexploded device was located in a Pressure Cooker. It looked very homemade, the thing you could find the recipe for online. The investigation right now is focusing on the linkages. Who may have been responsible. Was it a group of people . Is it linked to a pipe bomb explosion that went off earlier yesterday in new jersey . But so far, doesnt seem to have about half of those two dozen people or so who were injured have already been sent home. Given that your beat takes you to the middle east and obviously, you spend a lot of time in turkey, any of your International Sources finding any claims . Anybody taking credit for this outside the United States . Reporter i havent seen any credible claim. Just talk and chatter. But i havent heard of any connection to international level. Unfortunately, it is not just the middle east. The last year or so, ive been covering a lot of scenes like this all across europe as well. Thats what the immediate concern was, did something happen in the United States . But i will say, this doesnt seem to be the kind of attack that one would stage if you want to kill many people. Putting a bomb in a dumpster or putting it by with a timer by not the kind of similar to the attacks we have seen where people open fire with assault rifles. Richard engel on the scene last night when it happened, thanks very much. That explosion last night in new york, as richard was referring to, was not the only event yesterday. They may be unrelated. They may not be. There were incidents where a pipe bombstyle explosion along a 5k route in new jersey, during a race, it is being investigated no one was hurt. Eight people were injured in a mall where a man made references to allah before he was killed by an offduty police officer. Let me bring in pete williams. Let me start with the new york city incident. The mayor specifically essentially said, its not clear this is a terror incident. Okay. What did he mean by that . It was an intentional device. Words. When he was speaking, he was we dont have enough evidence to say whether its a terrorist incident or not. Theres a considerable amount of luck involved here. First of all, the bomb went off in new jersey before the race started. That was apparently where the race was delayed. Thats luck number one. Secondly, that device in new jersey, which was three pipe bombs taped together, didnt go often tirely. A lot of evidence was left behind. Thats the second piece of good luck. Third piece of good luck, the secretary second device in new york didnt go off. Theres a lot to look at. One big question is, what do they see in common with the two devices . The one in new jersey, the one in new york, assuming they can ultimately investigators are working new jersey and new york as potentially one person or one group . Well, they want to know whether theres a connection. They want to know if its the same person or group. Broadly speaking there are similarities. But on the other hand, these are instructions that are, unfortunately, widely available. The al qaeda magazine has run articles about how to build similar devices. They will look at the very microscopic level, how were the wires connected together, that kind of thing. Tell me what we know about minnesota. Is that definitely unconnected . Is there some thought there theres no reason to think theyre connected at all. Thatea of timing. Nothing similar at all. They will be looking at the mans past that was shot and killed. Looking at his residence, seeing if he was inspired by isis propaganda. Going back to new york city, theres probably more cameras there than any city in the world. I assume i have to think they may think they might have suspects in mind or persons of interest. They have some video. It appears that the device that did go off in new york was thats another difference between new york and new jersey. Lots of there are cameras everywhere in new york. Not so lucky in new jersey in finding surveillance video. But thats another productive line of inquiry for them. Pete williams, i know you will work the story. Thank you, sir. Both president ial candidates responded to the news last night. In Colorado Springs as the news was breaking, donald trump called it a bomb, a description that still isnt technically being used by officials in new york. Just before i got plane, a bomb went off in new york. Nobody knows exactly whats going on. We are living in a time, we better get very tough, folks. We better get very, very tough. Later after an event for the congressional black caucus, Hillary Clinton also responded. I think its always wiser to wait until you have Information News of the explosion comes after the new more controlled donald trump has looked more like the old unscripted donald trump in the past 48 hours. First trump finally dropped his false suggestion that president obama wasnt born in the United States and then immediately made another one. Hillary clinton and her campaign of 2008 started the birther controversy. I finished it. President barak obama was born in the United States, period. For what its worth, the controversy did not start with Hillary Clintons 2008 campaign. Theres evidence some sport sup derz did president is the rumor. It has been promoted and nurtured by donald trump for violence against hillary clintoclint clintoclint clinton. I think that her bodyguards should drop all weapons. They should disarm. Lets see what happens to her. Take their guns away. Okay . It would be very dangerous. Clinton campaign immediately condemned those remarks but hopes that they will help slow trumps momentum in the polls. Senator from virginia, tim kaine. Welcome back to meet the press. Good to be with you. Before i get into the campaign, i want to get your reaction to the events that happened yesterday, the explosion in new york city. You also had incidents both in minnesota and new jersey. All unrelated. Let me ask this, it certainly creates concern this idea that terror now is an everyday part of life that we have to worry what should a president do to try to deal with this with this threat that is now hitting the homeland . Well, chuck, its really important, and i would say experience really matters. As you know, Hillary Clinton was senator on 9 11 and was there at the World Trade Center as they were looking for survivors. Shes been through this. Its been a searing experience in her life. She was part of the National Security team that worked wipe out bin laden. Its an important time where you have to have experience. You have to support the military. Thats really important. On these instances whether they are in our cities or european cities, the key is having intelligence and having strong alliances where you can share intelligence. Thats the way you stop oneoff attacks is through intelligence sharing. You dont get the intelligence sharing unless the alliances like the Nato Alliance is strong. This is a new normal that well, look, i dont accept that. I dont accept its a new normal. We dont know yet about the cause of these incidents. Were not allowing it to be a normal. Were trying to destroy isis right now. The second news from yesterday is the punishing campaign that were waging again. Isis is shrinking isis on the battlefield. Thats good news. The challenge is, as isis realizes they are losing ground, then they see whether they can exploit weakes military strength to shrink isis and beat them on the ground, but then the intelligence sharing to stop attacks. Thats what we have do. Senator, let me move to the campaign. In New Hampshire the other day, you called the choice between donald trump and Hillary Clinton near existential. Is that hyperbole . Do you believe our existence is at stake here . Values is at stake. Its a contrast in vision. Hillary has a book filled with our Campaign Platforms and policies. We call it stronger together. Donald trump wrote a book when he decided, i want to run for president , and the book is called crippled america. That is the vision choice that americans have in this election. Lets just use one example. The equality donald trump for five years was pushing the completely false notion that president obama wasnt born in the United States and wasnt an american citizen. Chuck, its really important to know how painful that is to so many people. Because as you know, from the time africanamericans came here to jamestown in 1619, through the dreadscott decision in the 1850s, if you were an africanamerican in this country, you could not be a citizen, whether you were a slave or free or born here or we had to fight a civil war and change the constitution to change that. When donald trump for five years has been promoting the notion that an africanamerican president is not a citizen, that is extremely powerful and painful to africanamericans and to others who know this painful chapter in americas history. Why is this election so close . Why in the last three weeks, this election has gone from where you had a lead and we can where he now has a viable path to the presidency that frankly didnt seem to exist . How did this happen . If everything you are saying is true, how did this happen . I think its because were a close nation. You know i come from virginia. I am used to only close races. I encourage secretary clinton to run in 2014, but i told her, you are the underdog until they call you the winner. We did come out of the Philadelphia Convention with a good lead. It settled back down and its close. We think its going to be close. We just have to make our case every day about the basic pillars of the campaign, an economy that works for all, being safe through stronger alliances and building a community of respect rather than disrespect. Clearly, one of the problems that you have is you are struggling to rebuild the obama coalition, voters under 35. Listen to some voters we talked to yesterday who were bernie struggling to support Hillary Clinton. I think its a lack of trust. From releasing transcripts with big speeches on wall street, something some of the things that bernie brought out himself in the debates and other things like that. I think thats what people are Still Holding on to. Thats what im holding on to. I think a lot of people who were so supportive of bernie during the primaries feel offended, feel betrayed. I think its going to take a little while to earn that trust. Towards millennials and those in college. I think bernie can help her with that. The numbers are clear, senator kaine. Votes under 35 are not enthusiastic about her. They are as interested in gary johnson as they are Hillary Clinton. If you dont have them, you dont carry north carolina, florida, ohio, virginia. I think you know that. Yeah, we gotta win them. Let me lay it on the line. Do you believe in Climate Science or dont you . Millennials do. Hillary clinton and i do. Donaru do you believe women should be able to make their own healthcare decisions or dont you . Millennials do. Hillary clinton and i do. Donald trump doesnt. Do you believe in Immigration Reform . Do you believe in lgbt equality . We do. Millennials do. Donald trump doesnt. Finally, do you have a plan to deal with College Affordability . We have one. Millennials need one. Donald trump has ripped off students. The case. But on at least five issues, the differences between Hillary Clinton and donald trump are vast. You didnt mention one thing, that is the issue of trust and transparency. One thing i noticed with all of the policies that the Hillary Clinton campaign and your ticket has put out, theres nothing on government reform, nothing on transparency, nothing on how she would its a big difference between her and what senator obama promised. He talked about bans about lobbyits executive administration. Some of his proposals, they didnt go through. But he made pledges and created transparency, made decisions that were necessary and a lot of people wanted to see. Why nothing from that from secretary clinton . Trust is her biggest problem. Yet theres no pledge about what shes going to do to conduct a transparent white house. Two things on that, chuck. First, i think its understandable that young voters and others want to get into this donald trump who wont release his tax returns and who has ties with foreign governments that he refuses to reveal. Lets go to Hillary Clinton. She has said one of the first three pieces of legislation that shes going to push in the first 100 days of her administration is to dramatically change the way campaigns are financed. This is fundamentally abouttran. We have allowed our Campaign Finance system to go to a dark money, super nontransparent system. We do that as its the heart of the reform of government. You think shes credible on this issue considering how associated she is with big fundraising and things like that . Absolutely. Because we disclose our donors. We disclose them in the campaign, the foundation discloses the donors. Remember, it was the Trump Foundation that was just caught making an Illegal Campaign contribution and trying to cover transparency. We think reforming the way campaigns are financed is the most important transparency government reform that the nation needs right now. Senator kaine, i have to leave it here. Thank you. Be safe. Thanks. When we come back, we will hear from the other side.

Joining me now is the Campaign Manager for donald trump, Kellyanne Conway. Welcome back to the show. Hi, chuck. Thank you. Let me start with fridays news first. How and when did donald trump conclude that the president was born in the United States . You will have to ask him that. Thats a personal decision. But we heard very clearly the three things he said on his own time line in his own terms on friday. Number one, that associates of the Clinton Campaign stte questions senator obamas american roots. The iowa volunteer coordinator and, of course, as the mcklatchy d. C. Bureau chief, now former, has confirmed that sid blo bloomenthal told him that senator obama was born in kenya. They sent somebody to africa to check it out. A bruising primary in 2008. That was Hillary Clinton. Two, donald trump said he put this to rest. Hillary clinton couldnt close it, get the information he did. Number three, you heard him say president obama was born in this country, period. He is moving on to all the things he talked about this week, tax reform, childcare tax credits. We got the endorsement of the fop, the fraternal order of police. Huge endorsement. They did not endorse anybody four years ago. They endorsed clinton in 1996. Were developments like this. What im curious about is what cares about the clinton incident . Donald trump for five years perpetuated this. This has been arguably part of his political identity for the last five years. What difference does it make whether clinton did it .
