Today no Public Events for Hillary Clinton as she continues to raise money. Nald trump holds a rally in Washington State. His running mate mike pence holds two events, a town hall in georgia and a rally we learned from people with doctorates in common sense. Dont let anyone ever tell you this country isnt great. This right now is the greatest country on earth. Good morning. Its tuesday august 30th along
with joe, willie and me. We have legendary journalist Mike Barnicle and Pulitzer Prize winning columnist of Washington Post and msnbc analyst Eugene Robinson on set with us. Herman cain back in the fold. See that . A little 999 at the pence rally. I missed it. I missed 999. Trump should use 999. Its a clear message, i know what it means. I miss it. It was innocent. Before you thought it would lead to Nuclear Warfare with godfathers pizza, something somebody wrote on the back of the godfathers pizza box. New poles show white house tightening nationally. Hillary clinton ahead by six points and survey Monkey Weekly
online tracking poll, 48 to 42 . She led by eight points last week. A fourway race shows a fourpoint lead. Clinton 4137 down from so whats happening there . What is going on . Is gary johnson taking from clinton more than trump or what . I guess equally maybe. Both. Both. Thats scary. Its marginal movement there, thats margin of error stuff. Tracking polls tend to go if you actually look at the weekly, daily variation, now, thats how they go. Monmouth University PollClinton Falls five points to 39 though she remains seven points ahead of trump. Clinton has a sevenpoint advantage over trump in fourway race, 3639 . Clintons favorable rating is back down to 34 while trump is steady at just 26 . And the monmouth poll puts these
low numbers into context for the last two decades. All right. Just looking at those numbers, willie, its obvious that email and Foundation News that came out had an impact. It does. Its very concerning. Now back down into the 30s. That has real impact. Weve become accustomed to that number there. Stop and think what were seeing there. The last two, the best of each party oextensively. Democratic 34 favorable, republican at 26 . Which means three out of four measures cannot say they have a favorable impression of the republican nominee. Thats right. In that same monmouth University Poll, a majority, more than a majority, 56 of americans say they are bothered by the clinton foundation. They are bothered by the appearance of wrongdoing, pay for play or other things that have settled into the conversation. That clearly had an
what more do you need to say . These candidates are historically unpopular and not by a small margin. The underlying damage of that number, 35 , makes you really start to question the turnout in novemb november. Are people going to stay home. Is it going to be the lowest of any president ial election cycles . You sense people are depressed or angry. Fed up. Most people are voting for unfavorable. So just like us. To me one of the things it says, that on the ground turnout machine is going to be important. You know, if youve identified your voters and called them every day and given them a bus, whatever, as the Clinton Campaign is doing, they are on the ground. Thats probably going to be important. Both candidates obviously have their core base of support. How many times do we hear it, how many times in polls, either candidate when you talk pout why you vote for them they talk about the other candidate. Its not affirmative vote for donald trump, its we cant let Hillary Clinton be president. Not an affirmative vote for Hillary Clinton but, my god, we cant let donald trump be president. I wasnt hear but a catchphrase, amnesty on. I didnt think they were serious. I guess it stuck. Kind of stuck. He did soften. The softening was pretty dramatic. You know what i mean . Pretty dramatic. Theres going to be a song that comes on. I dont know who sings it, britney spears. When do we get to hear it . Some kids in a garage out in albuquerque had worked on it last night and sent it to us. When do we get to hear . How about now . We dont have it now. When do we get it. When he finishes editing in albuquerque. I think ron ark is recording her track. This is serious. It could be a lot like i want to hear it. A country in western johnny cash. Laredo. Seriously when are we going to hear it . For the fourth or fifth time, when he finishes in the back. Am i neurotic. Let me just ask, is it in the
span of the show today. I dont know. I get to talk to him. Nothing coming out. You remind me of someone else i interviewed recently. Trump campaign cant give me an answer. No answers. Give you an answer when cutro is done editing. During the show . Any confusion about the nominees immigration plan will be cleared up during his speech at the Phoenix Convention center. Thats a relief. I cant wait. Yesterday his running mate, mike pence, told the local news station in georgia that trump will lay out in, quote, great specificity exactly what his plan entails. We are going to know tomorrow exactly what his plan is. It will be good to finally know. Senior aides tell nbc news. Instead of waiting until christmas. Plans to contrast his immigration plan with that of Hillary Clintons. Yesterday campaign manager
Kellyanne Conway who really good at her job but has a job impossible for any human being on earth, she got a jumpstart on trying to senator president obama. She thinks he has actually not done enough. I can see there are many ten either to his plan. I think they are incredibly important to remember. Build a wall, which has been the signature of his campaign since practically day one, thats there. No amnesty, no legalization, no sanctuary no amnesty. No amnesty. Why cant anybody in the campaign answer the question whether hes still in favor of deportation or not. Ive answered it many times. He hasnt talked about that in a very long time. Is he in favor . He hasnt talk about that in a long time. You understand youre not answering the question. You have to wait until wednesday. Mike, i think that was your evil twin brother skippy, there. Yes, it was. What did he pick up from the interview . Picked up from the interview that managing donald trump to speak in a Straight Line on immigration and get this cleared up has been a difficult job for the Trump Campaign. Apparently he is going to take that plunge tomorrow and outline an immigration plan that will you just heard, not involve, not going to be amnesty. The way they define amnesty, it could be they define amnesty as not giving away free Miami Dolphin tickets. Im serious. No, we didnt give away free Miami Dolphin tickets. This is not amnesty. Again, Kellyanne Conway, shes very good. Shes very good. Are they going to deport 11 million . No. I think if i had to guess. Deportation force. If i had to guess are they doing to pay back taxes and people that abide by the law. Are they going to be able to stay here legally. If i had to guess and she wouldnt be specific about it because she said im not going to give up anything about the plan, either going to be basically a tag up plan. 11 Million People are going to be required, asked to, invited to return home to first base, tag up when the flyball is caught and then they can proceed back to the states. People against illegal immigration thats amnesty. Whether they would have to go to a home country or perhaps go to a consulate, say, for example, which technically would be a great day in america tomorrow because hes going to finally explain. Or maybe they go to joe robby stadium. Is it called that . No. Its been a while. The everify system, work site enforcement, visa tracking, more immigration judges, mandatory detentions for imprisoned, deal with sanctuary cities. As for his wall, as per Rudy Giuliani, a physical wall. Hes going to build a wall. 35 feet high with technology. And with technology that can detect people five, six miles away. With technology that can detect people that dig under the wall. I cant even no. The big question is going to be whether there is the
touchback amnesty, pay back taxes. Thats the thing. Short of saying youre going to deport all of them is a stepdown, stepback on what ep hes going to do from
new york is safer than its ever been. Most big cities are safer than they have ever been. Washington, d. C. I lived in washington in the 90s. You know what that was like. Oh, my god. It was so much different. By the way, i lived three blocks from the capital and people were getting head up all the time. Cars were getting busted into all the time. It was miserable, dangerous place to live. Comparing saying this is the most violent horrible time ever isnt close not close to being true. Completely false. As you said, chicago is an outlier. Something going on in chicago why cant we fix it. You know, i dont think thats been fully examined. It certainly hasnt been fully addressed. But if you set chicago aside, not to minimize it, but if you set it aside, its completely false what trump is saying. People know that. People realize it. Meanwhile a top surrogate for donald trump is apologizing for tweeting out a controversial cartoon depiction of Hillary Clinton. Pastor mark burns, a frequent speaker at trump rallies, who just yesterday you met him last week. Right, mika . I met him last week, viciously attacking him. Nicole talked to him afterwards and he said he had a really good time on the show. I know. But i still accused of viciously attacking him. Thats just because the Trump Campaign is being bigoted towards you. Yes, they are. Because youre white. Really . I thought it was because i was neurotic. Sad. They are bigots. No, this is the sort of thing this is what the bush family says. This isnt the primary. Were talking about a tweet from a guy that guy is nuts, okay . Mark burns. Now youre being a bigot. You dont like him because hes black. Whats wrong . You got me there. You got me there, joe. You got me there. Its like a klan rally here. Why dont you like him . Because hes out of his mind. What are you talking about . Dont you feel sorry for him. What do you mean hes out of his mind . Just because he supports trump. Its not just that he supports trump. Basically everything he said. Am i wrong here . I just asked him a basic yes, no question and you all wen
after him aggressively and i was accused the whole thing is kind of pathetic. Its not worth any more oxygen. Here is his tweet, he accused her of using africanamericans for political gain. Unbelievable. Sent out this cartoon of clinton in blackface. Blah, blah, blah. Then he doubled down with Kristen Welker on mtp daily defending this tweet. Really the tweet is a frustration that i have as a black man in america and how i see africanamericans in many cases not every case but many cases suffering throughout this country and see how en masse we have been voting for the Democratic Party en masse and yet we have very little to show for it. I think its a vexation to me to
see how the Democratic Party, especially how Hillary Clinton, what i call tap dance for the black vote, get it, and then disappear for four more years. All right. All right. So he delivered it and then apologized. Here we go. I want to apologize for the offensive picture that many thought was offensive. But im not apologizing for the message that it was carrying in reference to i still believe Hillary Clinton and the Democratic Party do pander after black people. I do believe we have been worse off eight years under democrat rule. So you know, gene, through this entire process, whether its this pastor a good man im sure or donald trump in
the way he speaks to black audiences. Yeah. Its been ham fisted. I think they have an argument to make. You can go into inner cities, go in and say, okay, theres been democratic rule here for 50 years. What has it brought you . Why dont we try a better way . You deserve a better way, and here is my plan. And then they present a plan. Right. Thats actually a very i think thats a fair argument to make, and we can have a great argument. But its always on this shallow level from donald trump and his surrogates. It comes across very ham fisted and offensive to black people and hispanics. It would have to deepen considerably to be considered shallow. Its glancing. Its not it goes nowhere. Whats missing is any sense of participation and any invitation to participation on the grassroots, the way africanamericans have participated for decades on the grassroots in the Democratic Party. So when you talk about africanamericans in the pastors lexicon living under democratic rule. In fact, the Democratic Party is a big chunk of the Democratic Party is africanamericans who are elected officials at every level, including president of the United States, but down through the levels of the party, who are Party Activists at every level, who are contributing to the making of policy. That is not replicated in the Republican Party. By the way, black voters vote rationally for their selfinterest like white voters
vote rationally for their selfinterest. Willie if you dont give black voter, white voter, hispanic voter a rational reason to vote for your party they arent going to do it. Strategically its odd. I know hes trying to project dont worry independent white voters, black voters, wishy wash y, dont worry, im not racist. As a strategy before election day, a group of voters youre getting 0 , 8 , whatever the number is on the poll, thats not where you should be focusing, if you wan to win, it looks like a late after the fact scramble, after a year and a half of trying to offend this group, two months out im going to try to capture them and show the rest of the country im softening. Mika, ham fisted. A lot of softening going around with trump here. But i dont know if you focus group this or market tested it but i have found in the past
when speaking to political audiences saying your life sucks and youre being slaughtered,
i do. I dont even know what weve talked about honestly. Nothing. I think they do. He says nothing that he means. Its so good you got a good song out of it. To hear from you on this point. Pretending to make up from stupidity. Still on morning joe, this guy so good, actually one of my favorite lines in a comedy from willie wonka saying horrific kids, no, dont, stop.

Hes here with his new broadway show on the 2016 race. Well be right back. A little sadder. I dont know. I feel so strange. Maybe youre happy. Thats it. Im happy. What do you know about that . Im happy gene wilder seen in his Academy Award nominated performance passed away today. He made his big debut in bonnie and clyde but best known for bringing the films of mel brooks to life. In this case young frankenstein. Frankenstein. Frankenstein. Youre putting me on . No. Its pronounced frankenstein. Do you also say froderick. You must be igor. Igor. They told me igor.

It is longtime senator john mccain against conservative challenger kelli ward, who in recent weeks questioned mccains fitness to serve because of his age. That usually doesnt work well. The senator turned 80 years old. A poll released last week shoes a substantial lead over ward, 55 to 29 . If he clears todays hurdle, he turns the general election now just two months ago against democratic congresswoman ann kirkpatrick. As the Washington Post points out her strategy has been to tie mccain to donald trump in an effort to drive up turnout among hispanics. Yesterday after receiving the endorsement of the arizona Firefighters Union the senator was asked if an endorsement from trump would hurt him or help him . I dont think it has much effect either way. Because as i say, ive been representing the people of arizona for mabe, many years and they judge me on me and my report rather than any other factor. The latest on Mccain Kirkpatrick matchup puts the senator at the crucial 50 mark ahead of the democratic congresswoman by 20 points. You know, mike, john mccain is a guy who could have very easily been caught in the crossfire, first the republican primary and then general election. In fact, you would think that
the trump effect would impact him more than these other senators. Certainly this past week what weve been seeing with polls, pat toomey doing better than expected. State by state, rob portman doing better than anybody expected, burr in North Carolina doing better and Chuck Grassley in iowa. John mccain is not only surviving, he is thriving. He is rolling over primary opponents. The antiwashington sentiment clearly vibrant across the country that he is the outlier. His experience, his familiarity in arizona is of great benefit to him. Look at this, battleground polls to show you that donald trump actually is not having a drag on a lot of these republican candidates because they are separating themselves from him on the trail. Clinton up two in North Carolina
but richard burr up two in North Carolina in the senate race. Clinton up four in ohio but a 12point swing with rob portman comfortably ahead by eight points. In ohio, trump only up one in missouri. A state he should be up by five. Roy blunt, the senator there, up by five. So can i reask the question i asked about 20 minutes ago. Sure. If these candidates are doing okay separating themselves from trump, why is what do you have to lose to the candidates who are endorsing trump and the leaders who are endorsing trump in terms of the party . If they are surviving separating themselves from the republican nominee for president. What they are doing is working for them. They are not going out saying were for Hillary Clinton. They are not going out attacking donald trump. But they are not endorsing him. They are doing what pat toomey said, donald trump is doing his own thing, were going to do our own thing and they are going to be judged by it and they are. They arent saying his name
on the trail. They support him nominally but not invoking his name. If asked, they support the party. You think thats by chance. Nobody thinks by chance. My point youve been making your point for months. You all laughed when i said they have a lot to use. Republican leaders, why do you continue to endorse this candidate, have you a lot to lose. Dont you . These guys are doing pretty well. The candidacy is interesting, kasich is all in on the ohio race and its made i dont know how many points its made in portman but hes all in on this. Lets bring in political reporter for Washington Post and msnbc political analyst robert costa. Bob, what do you have this morning . Good morning. Im looking at a few things, mika. One, george stephens, mitt romneys chief strategist met with independent president ial
candidate. I think romney question is one of the variables were looking at. What does romney do, where does romney go . Does he gets behind johnson and wells, mcmullen, stay on the sidelines . So what happens with it . Is he going to stay on the sidelines . Whats happening with mcmullin, any chance for impact in utah and other states. He could. Ifette some money to go on the airwaves, in a state like arizona, high mormon population, utah, he could stop donald trump from winning those states. Another thing im looking at what bannon is up to. Steve bannon remains a mystery, hasnt done an interview, quiet up in trump tower. I hear late saturday night in new york city he met with pat cadel, longtime democratic pollster, really moved away from the Democratic Party, talking to a populist democrat as he thinks about the trump strategy. What do you think about the
strategy used now by the Senate Candidates in we were talking about how a lot of Senate Candidates seem to be doing well whether they endorse trump or keep quiet on trump they seem to be thriving, whether they talk about pat toomey, blunt, richard burr holding on well. John mccain doing much better than people expected some time ago despite saying republican nominee. Mika framed it as a moral question. How can they support trump. A lot of people behind me on capitol hill, they are not thinking of it in those terms. They are thinking they have to get voters out, registration for vors, registration going up and they want to latch onto some of the populism out there around trump especially on issues like trade. You see portman has done that very effectively in ohio. They are trying to navigate this, while not running against trump, getting some of his support, making sure they are not seen as trump acolytes. To mikas point, you own a piece of trump, you own all of
trump. Thats what shes going to say about john mccain in the election. Shes going to say to latino voters in the state of arizona john mccain supports donald trump. You heard what donald trump said over the last year of the hes an ally of donald trump. You latino voters and general population of arizona, do you really want to vote for that . How do they separate from him in a general after committing to him in the primary. Until the point where they see maybe theres a landslide happening for democrats, youre going to see this strategy continue. You dont see them running against trump. You dont see the National Party distancing themselves from trump. A lot of people are telling me in washington that as awkward as trump can be and often is when it comes to minority outreach and hard line rhetoric he uses, because hes doing that, they feel like at least hes not stumbling and damage in tear apart their down ballot chances. Florida primary voters heading to the polls. Former chairwoman Debbie Wasserman schultz fighting to
keep her congressional seat. Sanders has lumd large in the case but never made it to canova. Bernie not on the ballot. Coming here would have been certain liabilities so might have been a blessing. Meanwhile chapg unto be a fight between incumbent marco rubio and Patrick Murphy this november. Recent polls showed murphy an establishment favorite with sizable lead over democratic congressman allen graceman. Victory seems all but sure over marco rubio today against challenger businessman carlos barof. Out of politics new york city place to go. We knew he was going to do this. On some level he must have known he was going to do this. What else is he going to do . This is the perfect race for him. A man that understands Florida Politics better than anyone at the table. Marco rubios future stumbled in 2016, still a young guy. Can he come back in 24 and run for president . Best thing marco rubio can do now is get elected to senate and pretend he likes the job and focus on people of florida. He has not done that yet. He got elected like barack obama, as soon as he got elected he ran for president. His Approval Ratings arent high there. If he has any political future hes got to prove to people hes a hard worker, that hes going to go to all the intel briefings. He missed a lot of them, and that hes going to do his job. Thats actually, bob costa, its oldfashioned but if you want to run for president in 2020 or 2024, youve got to prove you
can do the job youre in. All he said during the last campaign was he hated the sen e senate. Weve seen candidates in president ial history they run, fumble, come back, think of reagan in 76, george w. Bush, loss in 80, lost in 88, bill clinton thinks about running in 88. You see a lot of this throughout history. I think whats most telling about today, you look at mccains race, look whats happened with rubio in florida, paul ryan in wisconsin, what frank wrote about in the new york times, trumpism and candidates can they exist without the power of trumps personalit youre not really seeing that across the country. Primary challengers across the country like trump succeeding across the board. What youre starting to see is a realization not only from candidates but voters that donald trump is going to beeing and starting his own network in a couple of months. Not only that
there is no trumpism after donald trump. It is collapsing on its self now. Easier Time Starting trump network, Republican Party going to have rebuilding the Republican Party. Im going to say an easier job than republicans. Polls suggest in these senate races theres going to be an historic amount of ticket splitting. That voters are going to come and not vote for donald trump, leave that blank, or vote for Hillary Clinton, but they are going to vote for republican senators. Thats a tough thing to pull off. You know, actually make it happen. What happens to trumpism to call it that after the election . Well, you know, i think theres this sort of mass of voters. Theres a substantial part of the republican base, not necessarily the
still ahead donald trump continues to try to distance himself from david duke in louisiana, but the former kkk does he know who he is . Mika, does donald trump know . He does but he doesn which is why its such a decision for one to make to stand by that candidate. Morning joe is back in a moment. Doctor about your medication. This is humira.

Looks like willie nelson. Like the teddy bear thing. Do we have the teddy bear . Happy birthday to you happy birthday to you praep happy birthday happy birthday happy birthday to you. You click on and you get the teddy bear. Keeps going, too. That is the general election. The president ial campaign. Any kids. The nation is in astonishingly good health. There was a limo outside his office on the way to trump tower. He said i dont work well under pressure, which you never want to hear from a doctor. You cant make it up. Its so bad. Its so bad. Welcome back to morning joe. This is all bad. Its tuesday august 30th. Were laughing because were nervous. Honestly, the truth of it is this is bad. Okay. Right . Am i wrong . Funny because its funny. Funny because its true. Put the teddy bear back up . I dont think so. With us veteran columnist and msnbc contributor mike yeah. Pulitzer prize winning columnist and editor of Washington Post eugene
washington. Robert costa. Msnbc political contributor and editor of the fix Chris Cillizza. All right. Polls out mika, what do they show you . The race is tightening. Hillary clinton is ahead by six points in the nbc survey Monkey Weekly online tracking poll, 48 to 42 of she led by eight points last week. A fourway race shows a fourpoint clinton lead, 41 to 37 , down from a sevenpoint advantage last week. In a new monmouth University Poll, Clinton Falls five points from earlier this month to 4 , though remains seven points ahead of trump. Has a sevenpoint advantage over trump in fourway race. Clintons favorable rating back down to 34 while trumps is steady at 26 . Mika, 26 Approval Rating at
the end of august, a couple months away from the campaign. Youre working on that campaign and what are you thinking . Lets go to Washington State and hold a rally. Thats what they are thinking. Anyh anyhow, can anyone explain that . Monmouth poll puts poll numbers in decades. An increase from the 20year high. 96 for those driving 7 , 5 , 6 , 5 in 2012, 35 in 2016. 35 of americans dont have a
favorable impression of either the republican or democratic nominee. The Trump Campaign says any confusion about the nominees immigration plan will be cleared up at his speech at the Phoenix Convention center tomorrow. Yesterday trumps running mate senior aides tell nbc news trump plans to contrast his immigration plan with Hillary Clintons. Kellyanne conway. Amnesty, its really a radical plan. Shes been critical of president obama. She thinks that he has actually not done enough. I can say there are many ten either to his plan. I think they are incredibly
important to remember. Build a wall, which has been the signature of his campaign since day thats there. No amnesty. No amnesty. Why cant anyone answer the question. Ive said that many times. He hasnt talked about that in a long time. He hasnt talked about that in a long time. You understand until wednesday. You understand youre not answering question. Bob costa, we dont want to wait until wednesday. What ku tell us today . What i hear, joe, steve bannon, the campaign chief executive and most importantly Steven Miller, longtime speechwriter who worked for senator sessions, having a heavy influence over the speech. Kellyanne conway, what we hear from trump, a lot of tough rhetoric that weve heard from him for a long time. When it comes to this question
of 11 million, those undocumented who are here, thats where he may try to thread the needle a bit and move the way he positions himself a bit. But hes going to have to offer clarity. This is a test for him more than anything that weve seen this summer because this is his key policy plank. Theres been confusion for weeks. Has he to clear it up. Were only 69, 68 days out. Chris cillizza, it seems that trump, if he backs off deporting, and if he talks about legalization, he is going to be facing a firestorm from his right for the rest of his campaign. Sounds like thats what he may be doing, backing off deporting. I think the whole calculation let me say, im not totally clear how much is calculated. This last couple weeks could look like a series of trial balloons or could just be people talking with donald trump. You dont know. I think the calculation is that people who are for him at this
point are going to be for him no matter what. Right . Even if he walks away, yes, he may lose some, a small percentage but largely they are going to be for him both because they believe deeply in sort of his outsider message and because they are not going to vote for Hillary Clinton and that the only possible chance he has is to move off this hardest of hard position, send them all back, in his words, in order to try to win over hes not going to win a lot of hispanic vote or black vote but he cant win as it is as he currently is. What he really needs to do is win white suburban women. He needs to win the white vote by historic measure, more than 20 points romney and reagan did. My guess is he will fudge it a little bit because he really has no choice. If the coalition he has built remains roughly what it is, he loses. The argument that hes just
appealing to people to support him does not win you a general election, gene. It wins you a primary with 17 other people in it but doesnt win you a general election. No, i dont think it does. Theres a pretty stark choice here, seems to me. Bob costa, how is he thinking about this . Either youre going to propose rounding up and deporting 11 Million People or not. It seems to me they matter a great deal to donald Trump Supporters, which side of that clear line it comes down on. Is that not right . Am i missing something . Gene, youve got to think of this question as legality of people, all these different voices around trump having these opinions. You heard Kellyanne Conway, shes been working with republicans for decades, thinking about how to win in swing districts. She knows this deportation language. Helpful, donner sees on hamptons, fundraisers. People like Rudy Giuliani and Chris Christie saying you cant do this kind of thing if you want to win a general election but still has with him on the plane Steven Miller jeff session
adviser and other hardliners. The problem is mike, ill throw this to you, isnt the problem no matter what he says, who can believe it. Ill try to find a different angle here. Ask Chris Christie if you can trust his word. You cant. Everything he says, why would we even talk about it . Its going to change. It probably will. Thats everything weve learned. To this speech and a big setup speech. They are talking about it before hand, Kellyanne Conway talking about it yesterday. Robert, in terms of the speech and this quest for specificity, how stunned would you be if you heard the phrase legalization, the word legalization in this speech . Do you think thats going to happen . Its somewhat doubtful in my mind. I havent heard that term thrown around by my sources. I again come back to this point, this is a Jeff Sessions world on policy inside the Trump Campaign politically. A lot of people around trump have more when it comes to immigration. Have to take into account steve bannon from what i hear behind the scenes wants to reach out to africanamerican, Latino Community and underscore border wall and he wants to go back to trade and immigration. If you have that kind of impetus behind trump right now, even if hes getting more moderate advice to do something different. At this point he has more conservative policy people around him on immigration. Again, thats a lot of words. Willie geist ill ask you, ill pare it down, hes changed on everything. If you forced Chris Christie to take a truth serum, would he say yes or no you can trust donald trump, when he says something he means it. What would the answer be, willie . No, of course not. You cant change what you said
and have everyone believe it. Why would Chris Christie say he promised him Vice President slot and yanked it away. Trump has no beliefs. Were talking about this like it actually is something. The problem is 14 months into it how does he switch . He cant. Did he believe for 14 months he pounded the drum on or for the last two months and how will that be implemented when youre president. Chris. Look, i totally agree with willie and mika. The one thing i can say is how can he switch, because hes switched on everything else. Every politician has things they believe deeply and things they are there. Why mccain says fundamentals of the economy are strong. He doesnt pay that much attention to that stuff. He cares about National Security and Foreign Policy primarily. Romney carried about economics, corporate, tax rate, all that stuff. He was not that well acquainted Foreign Policy. The thing with trump is theres not a thing that he believes issuewise, other than trade. The one thing he has been consistent on throughout his life, not just this campaign, is trade. Beyond that his ideas are entirely fungible. Yes, of course you would say he spent 14 months basing his campaign on being the hardest liner in immigration, but hes also been a guy who says one thing and says the other. I would not be stunned if he changed, because it would be sort of everything we know, thats exactly what hes going to do. No question he will do it and can do it. Why not, its what he does. From the other side if youre an undecided voter which position do you believe. The other thing we havent talked about in immigration is the muslim question. Were talking about immigration in countries in north and south america. How does that plan work . We need specifics. Immigration with countries that have a problem with terrorism. Which are those countries and
how do you implement the plan. Its impossible to thread the needle. It looks like hes changing muslim ban plan. Then he never gets specific. Deportation issues. They say with democratic view in washington. Thats whats concerning him getting away in their minds with positions making it confusing for voters when they make choices about wreh stands. For instance, he does this with people, too, like david duke. Right. The night before the s. E. C. Primary. David who . He said he didnt know who david duke was and didnt really understand who the klan was. In 2000, the reform party would
not be a party he could be for because david duke was in it and racist. Obviously he knew who david duke was. He keeps going back and forth, back and forth. David duke back again. I think the question is not what his position is. But at this point, im sorry, i think we need to back up and ask him what he knows about anything. Just back up and ask him questions that show whether or not he has knowledge. Cant wait. Im sorry. Hes proven yes. Sorry, mika. The point joe made about 26 view him favorably, thats the other issue. Almost, willie, doesnt matter what he says. You know, its possible he loses some core supporters if he does legitimately offer policy solutions that soften or move to the center on immigration but 26 of the people view him favorably. His unfavorable numbers in the 50s and 60s. Whats fascinating about that, within that number 45, 50 feel strongly unfavorable. In some ways the cake is baked with him. Hes a deeply flawed messenger to a lot of people. Thats why this turn to hispanic and africanamerican community, those people dont believe what hes saying because of all the water thats already under that bridge. One person he has won over, david duke. Donald Trumps Campaign still trying to distance itself from one of his most controversial supporters, david duke, the former kkk leader and current candidate for senate put out a robocall urging people to vote for him and for trump. Hi, this is david duke fl im sorry i missed you. Im running for u. S. Senate and ill tell the truth no other candidate will dare say. Unless massive immigration is stopped now, well be outnumbered and outvoted in our own nation. Were losing our gun rights, our free speech. Were taxed to death. Were losing our jobs and businesses to unfair trade. Were losing our country. Its time to stand up and vote for donald trump for president and vote for me, david duke, for the u. S. Senate. Ku imagine a more horrifying voicemail, you type in your
code. This is my mom. Hey, its david duke. In response to robocall, Trump Campaign aide tells nbc news, mr. Trump has continued to denounce david duke and any group or individual associated with the message of hate. There is no place for this in the Republican Party in our country. We have no knowledge of these calls or any related activities but strongly condemn and disavow, which has been Donald Trumps position over the last few months since the the first interview when he claimed not to know who he was. Claimed not to know who he was. Bob costa explained did you ever get a good explanation what he was doing before the sec primary when he claimed he didnt know who david duke was . No, ive never had a conversation with him about that. Chris cillizza, any conversations with him about when he claimed he didnt know who david duke was . No, but seemed to me he was trying to do what he does a lot of times, when asked a question he clearly knows the answer to but knows if he plays both
sides, you know, dot dot dot dot. He lets people finish his sentences. He does it on policy. Leaves it open ended, draw your own conclusions. Thats to bobs point. It can be a lot of things. What does softening on immigration mean. Who knows . It means whatever you think it means. Exactly. It would be like if you went out and said, hey, ive heard amnesty don tattooed on my chest. Where is the song . Im not saying that. If donald trump said that. If you step back and think what is trump doing big picture on immigration, all these different kind of controversial issues and outreach to different groups, hes trying to make himself more acceptable to skittish voters in ohio, North Carolina, pennsylvania. Thats what hes doing. I dont know. I think youre overthinking it honestly. By the way, willie, im not saying he has a tattoo on his
chest that say amnesty don. Many are saying that. I dont think so he does. But many people are saying it. Lower back or tupac. Tupacstyle right there. On his lower back im just telling you what ive heard. I dont think its back there but david duke, a tattoo of david duke. Im not saying it is. Not saying it is. In fact, i dont think it is but a lot of people are saying that have actually seen him like in speedos and the atlantic ocean, coney island, a lot of people are saying. Im not. Joe. Its really important. Lets ask dr. Bornstein to clear this up. I dont think he does. A lot of people are saying he does. Maybe you should google it. Donald trump tattoo. I dont know. I dont know how the could go wor works. A lot of good information on google. Amnesty don tattoo. Latest piece titled chairman of the Republican Party is doing a much better job than you think he is. Explain that. Reince. We like reince. I hear from republicans every day, professional consultant republicans who say how could he let it get to this point, to which i respond, what was he supposed to do . Seventeen candidates in the field. No one thought donald trump no one, certainly not the Republican Party, thought donald trump would wind up being what he was. He comes all the way to 30. He gets to 40. Then by that point, what is reince supposed to do . Is he going to call jeb, get out of the race, marco rubio, john kasich, get out of the race. Its not going to happen. No chairman i mentioned in the piece, Haley Barbour, former governor of mississippi, held up as best republican chairman ever, not even Haley Barbour can call president ial candidates not at that level and say get out of the race. The criticism is how can he support donald trump . Hes the chairman of the Republican National committee, thats how. Donald trump got 13. 3 million votes. That is who Republican Voters wanted. Hes doing his job. You you dont have to like your job but hes doing his job. Joe, are you wrong about that . Its like, if somebody puts tattoos all over their body, you dont have to like it, hate it, judge. Hes all ink, trump. Many people say that. Its been asked whether its a stain or tattoo. Its a tattoo. Thats what some people are saying that it is but we dont know. Thanks for the visual. Speedo. David duke. Coney island on sunday afternoon. Thats what he does. Listen, i dont know. I think amnesty don. Ive heard he does but i dont think he does. No, i dont think any of this is true but ive heard. Ive heard it a lot, which is what he does, by the way. Hillary clinton, you know, theres no solution. Maybe theres a Second Amendment solution. Again, im not saying that. I dont know. Im not saying that. Maybe you can shoot her. I dont know. Im not saying that. Shes deathly ill. Hold on, im not saying she is but many people are saying it. Robert costa, a lot of people are saying youre really, really good at what you do. But dont have much of a sense of im not saying that but a lot of people are. You should see his tats. Notre dame tattoo on his back. Im not a tattoo guy. This is not my thing. You dont say. Thanks for that. Ahead on morning joe Hallie Jackson joins us. Are we saying goodbye to the fix or is he staying with us. I have four liverpool plays on my sons team. Which for . Im not going to listen because i know your rating but i have a picture of joe on my biceps. Of course you do. All the kids are doing that these days. In fact, those three liverpool players all by the way, those are three good choices. Your son will do well. My son picked them. Hallie jackson joins us from trump tower with new reporting on the message trump will try to get across in his big speech tomorrow now that everybody is distracted about the tattoos. Plus tom cole joins us. Hes live from Oklahoma City and
well ask him whether his partys control of congress is partys control of congress is vulnerable based on how trump is leadership. Donald trump knock the crap out of them, would you . Seriously. Vo clear thinking. Donald trump i know more about isis than the generals wbr id wbr49514 do, believe me. Vo and calm judgment. Donald trump and you can tell them to go fu k themselves. Vo because all it takes is one wrong move. Donald trump audio only i would bomb the sh t out of them. Vo just one. b
americans wbrid wbr49814 are buying more and more of everything online. And so many businesses rely on the United StatesPostal Service to get it there. Thats why we make more ecommerce deliveries to homes than anyone else in the country. The United StatesPostal Service. Priority you
i dont think the vast majority of Trump Supporters care about deporting 11 Million People or 1 Million People. I think they care about stopping any further immigration. Leave the wall. Even if the wall is symbolic, they believe trump is serious about bringing immigration to a screeching halt. Rush limbaugh saying he never
on immigration. Joining us from trump tower nbc news correspondent Hallie Jackson. Ask her if she takes him seriously. She has to for living. I cant hear you. Are you serious . She can. Ask about the tattoos on trumps chest. Do you know anything about tattoos. I have to be honest with you i havent been watching your show because ive been out here. Ill check the dvr to find out what youre talking about. Were talking about a tattoo that says amnesty don on his lower back. Lower back . No, no, we dont know about it. People have been talking about it. Amnesty don. I just heard that. I have no confirmation of
that. You get me into hess things. Listen, i have actual news for you. I want to talk about something else. A little bit of a slooplet here. Talking about this ad buy donald trump, new ad hitting Hillary Clinton on the economy. Im told this morning by an adviser to the campaign that now they are going to go up on the airways in michigan. This the tenth state youre going to see the Trump Campaign play it. This is really interesting because trump has been talking about rust belt strategy pick up states like michigan. When the initial buy came out, people scratching their heads, hey, where are these states arguing they will push it. Im told michigan buy will happen this week. Last poll to come out of michigan showing a sevenpoint race there. Its not necessarily friendly territory for donald trump but i think youll see mike pence
campaign there to try to connect with bluecollar worker there. Thats been pences role. Interesting stuff out of the campaign this morning. I will also note controversy surrounding pastor mark burns. Hes tweeting this morning saying hes sorry for that offensive tweet showing Hillary Clinton in black face but still stands thank you so much. We greatly appreciate it. Lets bring tep difficult whip, congressman com cole from
oklahoma, one of the smartest guys on capitol hill and certainly one of my favorites there by far. We treat him as such every time hes on. Hi, tom. Greatly appreciate to be with you guys. I forget what we were fighting about last time but it doesnt matter because i forget what i had for breakfast. Can i ask him something . No, you cant because hes one of my favorite. Noticing the trend, believe in the senate races im noticing while Donald Trumps numbers have been going down state by state by state, not in all states but a lot of states, senators like pat toomey in pennsylvania and if you look at rob portman in ohio, roy blunt in missouri, certainly john mccain in arizona, a lot of these senators expected to have real problems right now at least the end of august before we kick into high gear are in a really
good position. What are you finding in the house races . Similar things. Very much the same phenomenon. Partly because both these candidates are pretty unpopular. Hillary clinton will have a hard time in a way, 34 unfavorable. Other candidates, johnson and stein, break up the vote at the top and people may well vote for those candidates in protest and revert to their normal pattern down ballot. Its still going to be tough for republicans, largest republican majority since 1928. We polled states with obama care. I think the odds are well hold the house. We may lose a few seats as we did in 2012 but i think the majority is secure at this point. Based on the views of your constituents, what do you think donald trump should propose on immigration policy. Ill wait and see. Im not in the business of advising president ial candidates. When i do, i dont do it out loud and on television, but i think the important thing that he tomorrow lay out a pretty clear vision of what it is that hes proposing and stick with it. I dont think moving around helps you very much. Now, this last week may be necessary to get him to the position. The comment made earlier by one of the folks visiting with you guys that really the big issue is to stop illegal immigration. I find thats the most compelling thing. Americans are pretty compassionate towards people that have been here for a while, long time played by the rules, they know a good citizens. They are sort of grudging about it. They know you broke the law to get here. They expect you to pay some price for that. The big thing is to make sure
borders are secure and the problem doesnt continue tofester. They dont have a lot of faith in Hillary Clinton on that. They do think trump is serious on that point. On these issues, let me try a different way, my way i suppose. Some would say your candidate has some issues and some concerns. I just wonder why Republican Leaders like you, and those who are up for reelection, wouldnt take this opportunity to truly appeal to the black and hispanic vote and also find a way thoughtfully to appeal to trump voters without trump. I think quite a few of our candidates are doing just that. Thats one of the reasons why so many of them, as joe said, are running well ahead of the top of the ticket. Look, you know, we dont have nearly enough africanamericans in the Republican Party but im proud we have two in the house and one in the United States senate. Thats more than we had when i arrived in 2002. Weve got quite a few frankly great hispanic representatives
and quite a few members who represent districts with very substantial hispanic populaon. Those members have been awfully good about reaching out in their respective communities and establishing their own community. Thats why they are able to some degree, at least, to run independently at the top of the ticket in their respective district. Thats true of the candidates. I spent a lot of time on native american issues. Guess what, ive got 11 Indian Tribes in my district and about 89 of the state of oklahoma are tribal members. Youre doing that in your district, i understand, but the problem as i see it, there are no minorities at the grassroots who are being brought into the party and helping to shape the partys policies. I guess i have to dispute that anybody is doing that or even trying very hard to do that. Well, i dont think enough is
being done. No question about that. I do think there is an effort by the Republican National committee to reach out. Look, this is done frankly more by incumbents than done by challengers or party organization. And because, you know, its hard to show up in a Minority Community two or three or four months before an election and say, hey, vote for me. Things will be different. You have to do it after youve won. You see a lot of our governors in particular run considerably better in communities. Look at texas, a string of governors that give astronomical numbers among hispanics. I think thats because they work that community as public officials. In the case of Governor Abbott as an attorney general long before he was governor. Have you to establish that trust individually. Again, thats more than the Republican Party needs to do. I wouldnt dispute that for a minute because i think there are millions of africanamerican,
hispanic conservatives that we havent made a connection with. Thats our fault, not theirs. Just quickly, you probably dont think your life is a living hell, so what do you have to lose sort of appeal that donald trump is making is a good idea . Thats not the approach i would take. I would say, things can be a lot better than they are. These are communities that we know arent doing as well as broader community, that do have higher unemployment, that do have less in the way of educational opportunities. When you go in there and tal about things like school choice, when you talk about job creation, when you talk about trying to help entrepreneurs actually proceed. J. C. Watts was my predecessor and my client for many elections. Obviously he was africanamerican but he talked to those communities with an obvious sense of understanding and compassion. I think when you do that you can find that youve got a lot more friends in those communities than you think but youve got to
get up and make the effort. Youve got to get into the community. Community by Community Get involved in the project after getting next to nothing the first time and my reelection, if im not mistaken, second time i got de los 40 to 50 of the black vote. Why . Because i went into the community and worked my tail off and did things for the Community Democrats werent doing. It just takes it takes investment. It takes time. Go ahead, congressman. It takes understanding. Theres roughly 20 million africanamericans in this country. I can assure you we should not be losing that vote 955. There are millions of africanamericans that are conservatives, that are evangelical in their faith, that served the country in the military, they are Small Business people. We have a lot to say to those people. We havent done a very good job of taking that message into
those communities. When we do, well start to change the numbers. We might not win the communities but you dont have to lose them 955. Its a big difference getting beat 6535 and 955.

Perry reportedly will announce this morning as part of the new season of dancing with the stars. Weve seen some of perrys dance moves before, these shots from his inauguration, other political events. And back in 2010 we saw him dancing during a hanukkah ceremony with texas jewish leaders. By the way, governor perry, if its true and we believe it is,
will join vanilla ice and ryan lochte on the cast. Joining us from chicago, not we dont think with dancing with the stars, editor, are you with dancing with the stars or no. Not this season. You may get to level of celebrity. Latest showing swing States Donald trump maybe not hurting Congressional Republicans as badly as many expected, something weve been talking about this morning. We thought the support or endorsement of donald trump or even just saying i support the partys nominee would be a drag object people running in the Republican Party for reelection this time around. But at least in a few of these states North Carolina, ohio, pennsylvania, we saw good numbers from mccain early as well, maybe the drag isnt quite what people thought . No, its not. If you look at these individually, there are a lot of factors that go into that. Overall you lk at 12 senate races across the country on
average the republicans are running about five points better than donald trump. That goes from somebody who is tied all the way up to portman who you talked a lot about, who is running over 11 points better than donald trump in the state of ohio. So republicans are faring better than donald trump in a lot of these states. Do you think its still an effective argument, tom . Lets take arizona, for example, where aspected john mccain wins the primary, goes against ann kirkpatrick, whose line of argument, this is a guy who supports donald trump and shell say that to the Latino Community, especially state of arizona, saying hes thrown his arms around donald trump. He would say i havent thrown my arms around him but at least supported him as nominee. Is that effective against john mccain and other places . It hasnt proven to be thus far. That certainly can change as we get closer to election day and the campaign gets more heated and more money is spent on advertising. Right now so far it hasnt. Part of that, the reason is, some of these candidates have been able to say they are supporting donald trump and they are able to thread that needle. Part of it, i think trump is so unique in both his mannerisms and his campaign and things that he says thats given republicans and voters have keyed in on that and republican candidates can say, now, look, im supporting him but i disagree with him on x, y, and z. In a lot of cases these are incumbent republicans who voters already know and recognize that difference. Tom, as you know better than most, we are inundated with polls here. How much importance would you pay, should we pay to these daily tracking polls that fluctuate sometimes enormously . Not a lot. We tend to spend a lot of time talking about that. Again, i would say dont put too much emphasis on any single poll. Try and look at the aggregate of the data, which is my pitch for
our averages. Tracking polls the same way. At best it gives you indicative of something. Its not necessarily predictive. Gives you a snapshot in time. The tracking polls, you can find some in there. Again, try not to pay too much attention to that but try and look at the data as much as you can in the aggregate. Tom, this is gene robinson. A lot of the state polls paint a much gloomier picture if you take them in the aggregate for the trump ticket than the National Polls do. Do you as we get past labor day, do you look toward for a tightening or do you think the state polls are going to stay the same basically . Thats a good question. Historically weve seen them tighten, you know, in past president ial races, as you get into the heat of the campaign, post labor day. Its probably more the exception
than the rule that polls arent going to move. I think we will see tightening in some of these state polls especially, gene, given the way the electorate is so evenly divided. We have two nominees who are historically unliked and untrusted. So i think for that reason were going to see this thing is going to probably tighten up and end up being, you know, somewhat close in the end. Tom, as somebody who has head buried in data and polls and all the statistics that go into the polls more than perhaps anyone, writes the lens. Pull back a few months from election day. Conventional wisdom seems to be because of the way the electoral map is laid out. Hillary clinton is the favorite. I think most people agree on that. Writ where is the race . How close is it . Certainly Hillary Clinton, ahead in swing states. If election were held she would win probably convincingly in the electoral college. The question is can trump recover ground hes lost
especially among suburban white voters, well educated voters in places like pennsylvania, North Carolina and other states. And i think we still have enough time left and some pivot points hes not out of this thing yet. Important to remember. Thanks so muchlt always good to see you. Thank you.

This is at the mike pence rally. Really . Really. I missed it. I missed the 999. Trump should use the 999. If only we were dealing with the 999. I miss it. Its fine. New polls show the white house race is tightening. 48 to 42 . She lead by 8 points last week. A four way race shows a fourpoint lead. Whats that mean there . No. I mean is gary johnson taking from clinton more than trump or equally maybe . Both. Thanks. It is marginal movement there. Yeah, and tracking polls tend to go like this. And the new poll Clinton Falls 5 points to 49 . Clinton also has a 7 point advantage over trump in a fourway race 46 to 39 . Clintons favorable rating white trump is steady at 26 . The monmouth poll puts these numbers out. And its obvious that it had an impact. It does. It is very concerning. It is back down in the 30s. We have become accustomed to the last two. 34 favorable. Three out of four americans cannot say they have a favorable
impression of the republican nominee. And in that same monmouth poll 64 say they are bothered by the appearance of wrong doing of pay for play or other things that settle into the conversation. It clearly had an impact on her number. And we have heard some republicans say they arent voting for donald trump. Some say if you all dont get behind donald trump, no. Donald trump is where a lot of people predicted donald trump would be. 26 Approval Rating. Thats not how you build a National Party. Traveling to places that he is losing by wide margins makes it look like he doesnt care at all about winning the presidency of the United States. By looking at the percentage of voters who had favorable opinions since 1996 it had never been higher than 7 . Thisr 35 of voters lack a favorable opinion towards the major party nominees. It is an increase from the 20 year high. We tried to put things in perspective. I think it pretty much does it. What more do you need to say . They are historically unpopular and not by a small margin. It makes you really start to question the turnout in november. Are people going to just stay home . Is the turnout going to be the lowest it has been . I dont know. You sense out there that people are so either depressed or angry. You know, most people are going to be voted for
unfavorable. That sort of on the ground turnout machine will be important. You know, if you identified your voters and if you called them every day or whatever as the Clinton Campaign is doing they are on the ground. I read about you on the internet. There was a catch phrase. I heard. I heard that. And trending
i didnt think they were serious. An nes amnesty don. I guess because it stuck. The softening was pretty dramatic. So theres going to be a world premier called amnesty don. Im not sure who is singing it. It may be britney spears. When do we get to hear it . I dont know. It is just kids out in a garage had worked on it last night and sent it to us. When do we get to hear it . How about right now . We dont have it right now. When do we get to hear it . When they finish it. I want to hear it. I dont know. Is it country and western . Johnny cash. Seriously, when are we going to see it . Ill say it for the third or fourth time in a row now, when they finish it in the back. Can i ask you something, is it going to be in this span of the show today . I dont know. I just need answers. You remind me of someone else i interviewed recently. You cant give me an answer. I did give you an answer, when he is done editing it. Okay. During the show . Yesterday trumps running mate, mike pence, told a local news station in georgia that trump will lay out in quote
great specificity, exactly what his plan entails. We are going to know tomorrow exactly what his plan is. It will be good to finally know. Yeah. Senior aids say trump plan to contrast his immigration plans. Yesterdays Trumps Campaign manager she got a jump start without answering and Still Holding a straight face, good luck. Her plan on immigration is incredibly k incredibly coherent. She has catch and release. Sanctuary cities continue. It is really a very radical plan. She thinks that he is actually not done enough. I can say there are many tenants to his plan. I think they are incredibly
important, build a wall which has been the signature of his campaign, no amnesty. No amnesty . No amnesty. Why cant anybody answer if he is in favor of deportation or not. Is he in favor of it or against it . He has not talked about it in a very long time. Youll to wait until wednesday. I think that was your evil twin brother skippie there. What did he pick up from the interview . That managing donald trump to speak in a Straight Line on immigration and get this thing cleared up has been a very difficult job for people in the Trump Campaign. Apparently he is going to take that plunge. How do you define amnesty . It im dead serious. We didnt give away free tickets. This is not amnesty. Everybodys plan is not amnesty. Again, Kellyanne Conway, she is very good. Are they going to deport 11 million . No. Are they going to get the Deportation Force . If i had to guess. Are they going to be able to pay back taxes and people that abide by the law, are they going to be able to stay here . If i had to guess and she wouldnt be specific about
we technically would be it will be a great day in america tomorrow. Or maybe they will go to the stadium. [ laughter ] includes visa tracking and adding more. As for his wall his adviser Rudy Giuliani said it wouldnt be a physical law. He is going to build a wall. It will be technological as well
as physical wall. Youre 35 fetal. 35 feet tall. Yeah, people that can dig under the wall. I cant even no. So the big question will be whether there is the touch back i just amnesty. Whether they will pay back taxes. It is a step back from what
of the early 1990s. The nations homicide record setting year was 1991 with more than 24,000 homicides. In 2014 there were less than half, under 12,000. August is turning out to be the deadliest month the city has seen in nearly 20 years yet there were 922 homicides in chicago in 1991 and 487 so far this year. And chicago is such an out e outliar. Most big cities are safer than its ever been. It is so much different. I live 3 blocks from the capitol
and people getting held up all of the time. It was a miserable dangerous place to live. So comparing saying this is the most violent horrible time ever isnt close to being true. It is completely false. Chicago is an outliar. Something going on in chicago. Its just completely people know. Who does the best donald trump impression . What about john kasich . I asked him to help me clear up the lies that losers are saying about me like i hate women. How can i hate women when i have the worlds greatest woman right here. It looks like we could win six or seven or eight or nine, maybe a million states by the time the night is over. They say new reporting on interesting names being reported.

Clintons team is looking at who to cast as trump in a series of mock debates. According to the times some have suggested john stewart among others. What do they have to do to figure out how to get under their skin . I think they are wasting their money. Its like why would you hire a
psychologist to figure out how to get under trumps skin . It is pretty obvious, right . We have mike and anna marie cox. I think he is especially sensitive and he is not actually a successful businessman also are the things that really get to him. I also think he cant stand having a woman being his equal and i think being on stage together will probably anow the stuff out of him. He needs this moment though. If he is down in the polls people are pointing to well, there is a time when the race could shift, when all of the guys are on the first debate. We have been talking about it
for a while. I think you could sell this as a payperview event and make ten times what any payperview boxing event is. I love that it is like splitting the at tom to get under donalds skin. What buttons can we push . Wasnt there a roast one time . The only thing that was off limits is they couldnt suggest he had less money than he says they does . It is trump you, his hands. You go down the list. He has shown what freaks him out on tv. And how about he is finally going to define what his policy is on immigration. You always worry about it is like that year of dallas where
they wrote it off with a shower scene. It had been such a disaster. The whole thing turned out to be a dream. If you have to explain yourself on what has been your rock solid core issue then youre campaign is in more trouble than people think. Yeah. And its titled trumps fans dont care that he changes position and thats dangerous. Explain what you mean. The one thing thats been consistent throughout his campaign, and i think its through immigration policy has been his attitude towards immigrants and people of color. I think its his attitude that really speaks to some core part of his constituency. As long as he is giving them they will believe she on their side. What you hear, im sure, is what
i hear from the Trump Supporters. They will say things like i know what he really means. He may say he is changing his position but i know him. What they are saying is i believe he is still promoting this they are saying they know what he really means. He always makes sure he sends not even a dog whistle out there. He will say this sort of thing. He will do the same thing on issues of race. Im not saying this but he will throw something out there. We reached the point where it may be the first president ial campaign that needs like popup videos or subtitles, what he says and what he means. As you watched this thing play out and you heard him talk about the wall and how he is going to
send them all home, to me the greatest irony is that it was an immigrant couple, the cons, a muslimamerican couple who have done more damage to him than he has done with himself. With anything he said he has been taking on water since that night and he hasnt stopped it. It is pretty remarkable. Lets talk about the trump effect. Kel kelly is there. Sit between john mccain and kelly ward. I understand you spoke to senator mccain. Feeling pretty good this morning. Reporter yes. He is out on the trail over these last few days. It comes from the trump effect. So much criticism from the very most ardent Trump Supporters. She has tried to make his age an
issue. He is trying for a sixth term in the u. S. Senate. I asked him about how he is managing all of the attention related with trump it is in a tough environment. Its the people of arizona that know me. They know me very well. I have been here for many years. I dont think their judgment is effected except how they view me. Reporter so mccain is really emphasizing that personal relationship. At the same time he has been asked about trump and what trump has said and his position on
immigration. So this has been a case where mccain is polling very far ahead of kelly ward but you always have to count on primary day being the real answer. Of course theres early voting here in arizona as well. Mccain says a lot of ballots have already been in. The polls dont open for another 20 minutes or so. It is expected should he clear this primary. The real challenge would be november with ann kirkpatrick. With Hillary Clinton at the top of the ticket it might help her. Kelly is up very early on primary day. Thanks so much. Yes. Good to see you. Yes. Democratic candidates will use it to hang around the neck of republicans like john mccain. Does it stick with him . Yeah. I think it is so tough to split tickets to expect people to do that in the voting booths. I dont know if he will stick the way they may think he will. I was watching john mccain there. I had never been in his presence until the morning after the diamond backs had won the world series. I had never seen the reality of his physical state, that he couldnt put his jacket into the overhead rack in the airplane. I think you to separate him from this discussion. This is a guy who has become in so many ways the president of the state of arizona. A guy of honor and a guy even when we dismiss washington as being hopelessly broken this guy has been a man of honor in this country. I think he can take himself out
of trump conversation. He is just trounsing his primary opponent. A couple of months ago he is doing well in the general election polls too. I think to your point thats why people were disappointed he did wrap his arms around him. They thought he might be the one guy who this ones got detachable keys it comes with a pen so you can write as you please this mac doesnt have any of that its less useful like a hat for your cat surface has touch and a beautiful screen you can see things like theyve never been seen this mac doesnt quite compare its slower, heavy, and a bit square

Well be right back with much more morning joe. [enginrevs] [cheering] the highly advanced audi a4. Im hall of famer jerry west and my life is basketball. But that doesnt stop my afib from leaving me at a higher risk of stroke. Thatd be devastating. I took warfarin for over 15 years until i learned more about oncedaily xarelto. A latest generation blood thinner. Then iade the switch. Xarelto® significantly lowers the risk of stroke in people with afib not caused by a heart valve problem. It has similar effectiveness to warfarin. Warfarin interferes with vitamin k and at least six blood clotting factors. Xarelto® is selective targeting one critical factor
of your bodys natural clotting function. For people with afib currently well managed on warfarin, there is limited information on how xarelto and warfarin compare in reducing the risk of stroke. Like all blood thinners, dont stop taking xarelto without talking to youdoctor, as this may increase your risk of a blood clot or stroke. While taking you may bruise more easily, and it may take longer for bleeding to stop. Xarelto may increase your risk of bleeding if you take certain medicines. Xarelto can cause serious, and in rare cases fatal bleeding. Get help right away for unexpected bleeding, unusual brsing or tingling. If you have had spinal anesthesia while on xarelto watch for back pain or any nerve or muscle related signs or symptoms. Do not take xarelto if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal blblding. Tell your doctor before all planned medical or dental procedures. Before starting xarelto tell your doctor about any conditions, such as kidney, liver or bleeding problems. To help protect yourself from a stroke, ask your doctor about xarelto. Theres more to know. Xarelto. You live life your way. We can help you retire your way, too. Financial guidance while youre mastering life. From chase. So you can.
