And then an event in hampton, illinois, right next to iowa, by the way. Later, bill clinton will be in cincinnati. Bernie sanders on the trail for his first Solo Campaign event supporting clinton. Trump is heading to canfield, ohio. Look at this map. Its all on, all over the place. Cnn senior Political Correspondent brianna keilar, a new campaign plane, traveling with the press for the first time. Hillary clinton and, breaking news, she spoke to the traveling press corps. This is an informal introduction. And, you know, ever since she declared her candidacy last april, more than a year ago, she has traveled separately than the press. Donald trump has done this as well. But a lot of times, for instance, when you had mitt romney in 2012, they share a plane with their press. Hillary clinton is now at that point. And she had what she called an informal welcome for the media as they, shortly after they got on the plane, and here is what she said. Hey, guys. Welcome to our big plane so exciting. What do you think . I think its pretty cool, dont you . Youre supposed to say yes. I april m so happy to have all u with me. Ive been just waiting for this moment. No, really. Ill come back and talk to you more formally. I wanted to welcome you on to the plane. How was your Labor Day Weekend . It was good, it was really good. We had a good time. The last moment of hello, mark. I recognize your hat. How are you . Im glad youre here. Last moments before the mad dash the next two months, so i hope you guys are ready and are you ready . Im ready. Im more than ready. Are you ready, arun . Has arun been taking good care of you . Yes, very good. [ inaudible comment ] arun has been how long have you been working for me . 2 1 2 years. He started well, you were still in college, right . Were so happy. What . [ inaudible ] happy labor day. Do you have a labor day message . I do, youll hear it. I definitely, i definitely do. If you want more happy labor days, you know who to vote for. Thanks. Ill come back later. Thank you. Shoutout there to her press staffer who frequently accompanies the press. As you guys know, Hillary Clinton has been very press averse. Not just in terms of not traveling with press on the plane, but the fact that she hasnt had a press conference a fullfledged press conference, since last december. Its been a considerable amount of time. Shes taken questions. A few here, there, in gaggles. She hasnt had a full fledge press conference. Shes been coming under a lot of criticism from donald trump and his supporters for not being more accessible. Its not a format she enjoys. You almost heard a little sarcasm in that where she said ive just been waiting for this moment. I think perhaps a little hat tip to the fact that maybe she hasnt. I think we it wasnt almost heard a little sarcasm. At the end, she may have tipped her hat a little more. She said, im going to come back and talk a little later. I wonder if Hillary Clinton is planning a more formal question and answer session. I think she probably is. I would actually find it odd if she didnt. Because if she were to have this first day where shes traveling with her press, the press that follows her, that has been assigned to her since the beginning, and many of these people on the plane have been following her for a considerable time prior to her launch in april. I think it would be odd if she started the day, you know, going on the plane with them and then wasnt accessible to them. It might just highlight some of the issues that shes had with press accessibility. Its hard to remain inaccessible when youre on the same plane. Oh, they still manage though. They still manage. Because, you know, youre separated. Its not like theres free roaming up the aisleways. The secret service is literally between you. Yes. With a little note, come speak to us, please, send food. Lets go from Hillary Clinton to donald trump. Phil mattingly is covering that. Where do things stand today with donald trump, hitting up several stops in ohio and hitting up several stops on his immigration policy along the way. Thats exactly right. Depends on who you talk to what his immigration policy is. Trump was clear on a lot of his immigration policy in the big speech in arizona last week. One of the key issues he backed off a little bit, immediate deportation for the 11 million undocumented immigrants in the country. What he says he wants to do is prioritize. First criminals. Then those who overstay visas. Thats about 6 Million People. That leech leaves a decent amou people left. Its tbd, according to most of his aides, except for former new york mayor Rudy Giuliani, this is what he had to say. Donald trump, as he expressed in one of his interviews recently would find it very, very difficult to throw out a family thats been here, you know, for 15 years and they have three children, two of them are citizens and that is not the kind of america he wants. Now, that is not what donald trump said last week. Donald trump made very clear there is no pathway to citizenship. There is no pathway to legal status. Unless those who are undocumented in this country go back first. But what were seeing right now is a lot of this from the trump advisers. At least one republican lawmaker, senator jeff flake, said all he heard last week was donald trump doubling down. Saying that on state of the union on cnn yesterday. Trump responding on twitter calling jeff flake weak and then very weak in backtoback tweets. As you know very well, reince priebus, the chairman of the gop, likes mor s more than atta on twitter. Now at least for today, donald trump as you noted, kate, on the campaign trail in battleground states going to ohio. And why that matters more than anything else is where hes going in ohio. Northeast ohio. A part of the state that completely identifies with the type of voter that trump said he could bring to the party. That republicans hand been able to get before. Blue collar, former democrats. Thats who theyre targeting today. Now that were officially at that starting gun for the homestretch. So everything thats happened until this point. Because this is when it really matters, right . Until tomorrow. Yeah, okay. Phil, great to see you. Our panel. Paris denard, donald trump supporter. Basilsome smikel, director of the new york state democratic party. Ronnie chen, mitt romneys former director during the 12 campaign. And joining us in a moment, hilary rosen. Hillary clinton supporter. A little teaser as were dealing with a Technical Glitch as we like to say. Basil, lets start where we are right at this moment. Hillary clinton has the plane, the press riding on the plane with her. Goes back to say hello and says ill be back for a little bit more. Is she going to be able to avoid the press . I dont i wouldnt use the word avoided. I wouldnt use the word avoided. But i do think shes going to talk about i would like for her to talk to the press. I think it would be great. Shes got a lot to say. Shes been talking about some great policies over the last couple of weeks, including some issues related to mental health. Its gotten lost in some of the other coverage, unfortunately. Shes got a lot to say. I hope she can engage the press today. Some of that other coverage which youre referring to is the emails and the fbi report and the notes they took coming out on friday and the idea that, you know, she didnt know what c meant, it was a mark for confidential on the form there. Does she need to explain this out loud today . Listen, i dont think so, but, listen, with respect to that particular point, director comey said anyone who saw that know tation could have easily not thought it was classified. The big picture is this, the fbi unanimously believed there was no indictment, no charges that needed to be brought. Theres really nothing more to say. Except what she already said. She took responsibility for it. We have all said it. A lot of her surrogates have said that. I dont know what else she could say to change the conversation except to say what shes already said. Shes going to have to keep saying something, even if she doesnt like it, basel. There are other things to talk about inclauding policy issues some of the things wed also like to talk about right now, paris, donald trump, hes still answering questions about his immigration policy, a speech he gave on wednesday, there still seems to be playing a lot of cleanup in terms of advisers dont seem to struggle to try to explain what he meant in his immigration speech on wednesday. You heard Rudy Giuliani, Phil Mattingly talked about that sound bite, where he said that he would find it very, very difficult to throw out a family thats been here for 15 years, they have three children, two of whom are citizens, that is not the kind of america that donald trump wants. Do you support, do you think thats exactly what donald trump is saying right now . You know, i think theres a stark contrast between what donald trump is saying and the fact that he is actually saying something. Weve had secretary clinton actually avoid the press and not have a press conference for over 275 days, so hopefully she will begin to answer the questions hey, paris, paris as it relates to the fbi. But as it relates to mr. Trump, i think hes had a very clear tenpoint plan on immigration and anyone who listens to hip understands that it is a process. When you go through this election, when you go through the campaign it becomes a process learning, of listening and understanding the best way, the best solution to deal with illegal immigration policy that we have not had. Mr. Trump is the candidate would said he is going to solve the problem once and for all. That the democrats, that administration have been unable to do. One second, basel. This is donald trump at a roundtable in ohio. Hes meeting with some voters. I think thats mike pence. Theres no audio of this but he is in ohio, working that key swing state. You said everybody understands what donald trump was saying. Thats just patently false because the Trump Campaign has been trying to explain what he said for five days now. Donald trump himself came out the next day and said people didnt get what i said because of all the cheering and what not. Theyve had to explain it day after day, including yesterday with Rudy Giuliani. So if hes trying to say that he wont work to deport some of the 11 million undocumented immigrants here, people arent getting that message. Well, because he doesnt want to say it. Mr. Trump has a tenpoint plan on illegal immigration. Hes laid it out and its very clear. What people are trying to figure out or say or distort is whether or not everybodys going to go out at once, everyones going to come out. You know what he said is the criminal Illegal Immigrants that are here, the ones that have done criminal harm, that have enacted violence against american citizens, they will be the first to go. Then he said we will deal with the rest of them. But let it be known, let the facts reflect that mr. Trump is not for amnesty, he has not ever been for amnesty. He said if anybody is here illegally, they have to go back and come back the right way. The process to figure out as to how that happens. Its a difficult process. Let it be known, no amnesty, and people will have to leave. Let me pose the question john threw out to you. As a former policy director for romney. If he gave a speech and five days later f, folks or its t clear or folks are still trying to understand what he was saying in the speech, is that helpful to the candidate . Lets put it that way. If that had happened, i wouldnt have had a job. This is incredibly unusual. The challenge is when you look at a policy on immigration, really the only question that people care about is what youre going to do with the 11 Million People who are here as illegal or undocumented immigrants. Saying youre going to deal with the people who have criminal backgrounds first is great. I think everybody agrees. Thats about 690,000 people. Those who overstay their visas, youve got about 1 of that population that companiy comes country each year that overstays. Thats another number on top of that. I think the question now becomes will we ever get clarification on that. I think the reason why youre not getting clarification is because its a very sticky issue. What donald trump has said that folks have to return home first implies that there is going to be some kind of deportation. I think all their surrogates have to get on the same page. Its a tough policy area. Theres no doubt, we havent gotten a lot of clarity from the Trump Campaign on how the campaign would address that particular question. Hillaary rosen, i want to ta about the issue of race, because donald trump went and spoke at an africanamerican church on saturday in detroit, and it was a fascinating article out this morning in the new york times, jonathan martin, talking about some focus groups have been done with africanamerican millennials. Essentially says Hillary Clinton isnt doing as well as you might think. Shes certainly not doing as well as president obama did. But theres some softness there among millennials in particular in the Africanamerican Community who arent supporting Hillary Clinton in the numbers she would need going forward. Why do you think that is . Well, lets just go big picture for one minute. To the extent we still talk a week later about trumps positions on anything. Just means that it shows that he just doesnt really have solid policy positions and ideas for going forward. So lets relate that. Look, there are no easy answers. People are discouraged about politics generally. Black lives matter would not have had the energy and excitement among the young Africanamerican Community that it has had over the last year if people felt great about their opportunity. So i think you have Hillary Clinton out there with real economic investment, Real Infrastructure investment, real solid tax cuts for the middle class and education investment. She has plans. Whether or not thats going to make everybody happy is a tough call. I think its certain that Donald Trumps tax cut for the rich and trickle down economics is not going to help. I dont particularly trumps sort of johnny come lately analysis here is going to be persuasive. Bas, kind of in an unrelated element to this, as it happened this morning, president obama was asked at the g20 presser he was holding to weigh in to his reaction to Colin Kaepernicks protest. It happened earlier this morning. Lets play what donald trump pardon me, what president obama said, and well talk about it afterwards. As a general matter, when it comes to the flag and the National Anthem and the meaning that that holds for our men and women in uniform and those who fought for us, you know, that is a tough thing for them to get past, to then hear what his deeper concerns are. But i dont doubt his sincerity, based on what i heard. I think he cares about some real legitimate issues that have to be talked about. Colin kaepernicks protest has really got a lot of people talking. What do you make of how president obama reacted . I think hes right. Number one, he has a right to protest. Number two, there are individuals that may feel uncomfortable about the way that he is protesting. What is true, and i say this all the time, you can love this country and still protest and push it to be greater. I think thats a cornerstone sort of, of our country, of our constitution, that were always trying to be greater. I think thats where protests throughout history, particularly that scene with muhammad ali and luol cinder and jim browns and others standing behind him. Thats still a powerful image, supporting him when he did not go to vietnam. I think theres a long history of protest, particularly among athletes. I absolutely agree with the president. I would also say just to go back to Hilary Rosens point, it was Hillary Clinton, the first candidate to acknowledge openly that black lives do matter. So there are many ways in which i think both this particular protest with Colin Kaepernick and you have Hillary Clinton on the campaign trail engaging communities of color at churches and elsewhere where the Africanamerican Community is very, very much engaged in this election, so i take little issue with how that how that reporting was done. I think theyre very engaged. All right, basel, paris, hilary, thank you. President obama was asked about Vladimir Putin. He had a 90minute meeting with the russian leader. Look at that stare down. The subject of hacking and some of the digital shenanigans going on, that came up. Shenanigans, technical term. Plus, scary new cnn reporting coming out reveals mysterious operative linked to the terror cell involved in the paris terror attack. And an hispanic trump supporter warns america there will be taco trucks on every corner if donald trump does not win. The man who just quit trumps Hispanic Council joins us live to discuss that.
