candidate hillary clinton spoke before donors and offered this blunt assessment, not of donald trump himself but of his supporters. listen. to just be grossly generalistic, you can put half of trump supporters into what i call the basket of deplorables. right? the racist, sexist, homophobic, islamaphobic, you name it. unfortunately, there are people like that. and he has lifted them up. in the meantime, donald trump also went off script at a rally in florida. here s what he said. she could walk into this arena right now and shoot somebody with 20,000 people watching right smack in the middle of the heart and she wouldn t be prosecuted. cnn s scott mcclain is joining us from washington. we ll start with hillary clinton, the reaction you re hearing this morning to the deplorables comment. yeah, the deplorables comment, christi, is going over like a lead balloon with donald trump supporters, as you might expected. it is a trending subject on twitter and it is cau ....
potentially groundbreaking deal on u.s. and russian cooperation in syria. for the first time both sides will now be working together to try to end the conflict there, which could, if successful, as you heard the secretary of state there just a moment ago, could help battle isis in the country as well. the agreement comes after months of talks and at a time when u.s./russian relations have been pretty frosty. today the united states and russia are announcing a plan, which we hope will reduce violence, ease suffering, and resume movement towards a negotiated peace and a political transition in syria. working together, russia and the united states, and our teams, have devised what we think is a more prescriptive and far-reaching approach than we have been able to put together to date. this as donald trump tries to dial back his praise for russian president vladimir putin after being slammed for calling him a stronger leader than president obama. she talks about me. ....
Secretary esper said u.s. forces are redeploying to iraq to battle isis. the cease-fire ends in 48 hours. richard engel spoke to the top kurdish commander about what comes next. richard? reporter: well, the commander told me he fully expects the violence is going to resume because the kurdish forces here, led by the commander i spoke to and the turkish government, which brokered a deal with the united states, don t agree on the terms. they re talking about two different things. turkey says unless the kurds pull out of a very large area, they re going to restart the violence. but the kurdish commander says it s a much smaller area he s talking about so they re set up to resume a collision course. while this is happening, there is ethnic cleansing under way. that is a very, very big word but the only word we are hearing right now. already a quarter of a million people have been forced to leave their homes and the kurdish ....
Consequences. when you betray the kurdish were our best allies in fighting isis. everyone says isis is likely to come back stronger, regain strength after we spent tremendous energy with the kurds to defeat them. we see isis supporters escaping from jails and prisons in the chaos that s occurring after the u.s. pulls out. second, our on military s very demoralized. they don t want to leave people behind and when somebody is your ally in a battle against isis, for example, and the u.s. leaves them to be slaughtered the military is upset. we need allies. the way you get allies is being a nation that they can count on. if we re together we ll stick with you. people are now looking at the united states as they can t count on us and that means it will be harder to get allies to go together with us to battle isis or other bad actors in the future. in fact, the new york times reporting this morning there have been two isis attacks in ....
Limited, fredricka, and it s a real shame because we had an excellent relationship with the ypg, the forces that arwa mentioned in her reporting. and this kind of relationship is very hard to achieve. the kurds really see no way out. they had a historic relationship with russia that in some ways goes back almost 200 years. so there s no way that they re going to forget that relationship. it s remarkable actually that the united states was able to have the kinds of relations that we did have and the kind of success that we had against isis. but that s all being thrown away and, quite frankly, the kurdish general was quite right to be as adamant as he was about the u.s. and what we re doing to them. so, cedric, help people understand what is the objective of turkey s incursion now in ....
