CNNW At This Hour With Berman And Bolduan September 8, 2016

Authorities, a lot of resources are being focused on that particular area given where it is. What we do know at this point is this is the Alpine Police department that is investigating this incident here. That the alpine isd High School Students are to be picked up at Jehovah Witness Church across the street from the school. Trying to calm the parents who are supposed to get their children. What we are working out is to find out if there are any potential injuries. At least one Person Injured during a shooting, near the big bend area in texas. As polo just said, parents are being told to pick up their kids at a jehovahs Witnesses Church not far from that school. Here in new york, a bunch of schools just went back into session. Maybe the same in texas. One Person Injured at this point. Well keep our eye on this, so keep tuned for details as they come in. We have breaking news on the political front as well. Hillary clinton, tell us how you really feel. No kidding. Just moments ago. She kind of went to 11, offering a meticulous takedown of Donald Trumps performance at last nights National Security forum, what she called his criticism of u. S. Generals and his praise for russian leader putin. Overnight, trump said the russian president is a better leader than President Obama. And this morning, Hillary Clinton did not parse words. She called that unpatriotic and scary. Listen. Bizarrely once again he praised russias strong man Vladimir Putin, even taking the astonishing step of suggesting that he prefers the russian president to our american president. Now, that is not just unpatriotic and insulting to the people of our country as well as to our commander and chief, it is scary. Because it suggests he will let putin do whatever putin wants to do. And then make excuses for him. I was just thinking about all of the president s that would just be looking at one another in total astonishment. What would Ronald Reagan say about a republican nominee who attacked americas generals and heaps praise on russias president . Lets talk about this and everything that happened last night. A lot has happened this morning. Rear admiral charles kubik, Donald Trumps National Security policy adviser. Brigadier general john douglas, former assistant in the navy. Hillaary rosen, democratic strategist. Mark shlap, now chairman of the american conservative union. Cnns chief political analyst gloria borger. Everyone, thank you very much. Gloria, first, to you, after last night, they had their say. Why did Hillary Clinton come out this morning . What does that tell you . Because there are 0plus days until the election. She cannot let anything go unchallenged. And i think donald trump gave her an awful lot to talk about last night. She could go on the attack against him. This is talking about Donald Trumps temperament and qualifications to be Commander In Chief. She went right after him. As you pointed out on the putin issue. What i always find astonishing she did not talk about is donald trump answered a question about a classified briefing. Somehow saying that there was one thing in the briefing that shocked him. He wouldnt tell people what it was. But then he said it involved a decision by President Obama and mrs. Clinton. So he kind of teased that in, i felt, an inappropriate way. You know, she had lots of opportunity to go out there and answer him, particularly on this question of praising putin and his approval rating. And and on from there. Lets play what donald trump said last night about Vladimir Putin and his leadership skills. If he says great things about me, im going to say great things about him. I already said he is very much a leader. You can say, oh, isnt that a terrible thing . Very strong control over a country. Its a very different system and i dont happen to like the system, but certainly in that system, hes been a leader far more than our president has been a leader. All right, admiral, let me put the question to you, is Vladimir Putin in your mind a better leader than President Obama . Good morning, john, good morning, kate. I think what mr. Trump was really trying to say is he didnt approve of the system. He was just defining the characteristics of being a pro active leader. Contrasting that with our current president who has been very passive leading from behind. I dont think he was picking one other the other. I could never really endorse a foreign leader over our own president but i do think the Leadership Styles are remarkably different and probably we are in need of a much more proactive leader like mr. Trump to be able to confront the kind of leader we see in russia today. So do you disagree with donald trump . Because he pretty clearly said last night certainly in that system, the russian system, hes been a leader far more than our president has been a leader. I think thats what i said. Hes contrasting their Leadership Styles. Hes not necessarily saying he would want to live under a putintype leadership but he is basically saying they have a proactive leader, we have a passive leader, we need another proactive leader to match him. I think thats all hes saying. Im just giving you my read on what he said. Hilary. Im sorry, sir, you just dont get to get away with that. What donald trump said last night was Hillary Clinton wouldnt say this, but i will, it was treasonist. Not only unpatriotic, it was so disrespectful to the existing armed forces, to our current Commander In Chief. Countries Around The World have to look at this and say is America United in its resolve against dictators and bad actors Around The World or isnt it. The message that donald trump sent last night was that we are divided on that issue and as a surrogate for mr. Trump, he deserves better. The country deserves better. Than you whitewashing his comments last night. Any Military Officer that defends wait a minute, wait a minute of donald trump last night ought to be ashamed of themselves. Go ahead, admiral. Wait a minute, i mean, youre sitting here and now youre deciding to attack me. I think what were seeing is the facts speak for themselves. We see how our president is treated by our nations, by other leaders. What hes really saying is its time for a change. Hes not necessarily saying hes disrespecting the president of the United States. Hes saying politically he will pursue a different path and its time for a change. Please, its not time to attack me. Im just basically saying what hes saying and what others are reporting. General douglas, lets bring you in here. He said in that system, he, Vladimir Putin, hes been a better leader, far more than our president has been a leader. We, you know, last night mr. Trump showed an appalling lack of understanding of what leadership is, an appalling lack of understanding how the military operates. Talked about purging these generals that we have today. And somehow bringing others into the process. He doesnt understand the Promotion System within the military. He made some sexist remarks about women in the military. He disparaged our judicial system in the military. You know, it goes on and on. As secretary clinton said, it is truly bizarre to see him up there and dangerous, because what he doesnt seem to understand is the world is listening. Hes now a national candidate. When you get up there and you say these irresponsible things, you say what the world knows are misrepresentation of the facts. Hes for this. And we find a tape, he said hes against this, so on. General, one of the things youre probably pointing to is when donald trump said last night i think under the leadership obama and clinton, the generals have been reduced to rubble, reduced to a point where its embarrassing for our country. Yeah, bizarre statement. You know, we have the finest military that the United States has ever produced. Young officers from 2nd Lieutenant up to our highest generals are superbly qualified. Theyre vetted through a very nonpolitical, based on merit system, that they rise to the top. Here we have a candidate who wants to introduce some kind of political litmus test to become a general. And as you know, when were on active duty, we keep our mouths shut. I spent four years in the Reagan White House as a democrat and president reagan used to tease me all the time, hey, look, got this democratic guy here. He, you know, tells me the other side of the story. I used to go with him in meetings to tip oneill on highly classified programs. Mr. Trump just doesnt understand how the military works. He doesnt understand what these comments that he makes, the impact they have. When i was number two at nato headquarters on the military committee, i developed a lot of friends in the german army. You know, now my friends are contacting me and saying what in gods earth is going on. Will you pick up on that for a moment, along the lines of the putin comments. Admiral cubic made a statement, he said put in a proactive leader. He locks up, targets for assassination. And matt shlap, just moments ago, Hillary Clinton said every republican has to answer the question, do you think putin is a better leader than President Obama. Back to the idea we cant criticize barack obama, you know, thats silly. We have the first amendment, we have the right to criticize our president do you think President Putin is a better leader . Back to this, we all know clinton went over there and met with the russians and had the gimmicky red reset button, said all kinds of favorable things. I heard him on public speeches time and time again try to do all he could to be diplomatic and reach out to the russian leader. I think you cant have it both ways. You criticize donald trump when you think hes being too negative and attacking people. Here you have him in a mode where he could be the president of the United States and hes actually trying to be constructive and reach out to an important world leader, and youre criticizing him either way. The fact is this, the reason were in the state were in in the country is because of the Obama Clinton foreign policy. It really has been a disaster. To be clear on this, though, john and i were not criticizing donald trump. Were asking a question. Thats fair. I do want your take. Which is do you think i just met the other people on the panel okay, do you think when you hear donald trump, and all we can do is take someone at their word. Yes. I aprm very hesitant to try continually interpret what Donald Trumps meeting is. Taking him at his word, do you think that Vladimir Putin is a better leader than barack obama . Do you like that comparison and the message that it sends . I think what i took from listening to that last night was that what donald trump is saying is that what we have with barack obama and potentially with Hillary Clinton is weak leadership globally which leads america to a worst position. And what happens with Vladimir Putin, although we hate the system, and hes a strong man and i dont like much about him at all. The fact he projects leadership and what russia wants to accomplish on the globe, he does very well. I dont like what theyre doing but he does it well. I want to make sure the president of the United States can counter that by being a strong leader as well. That is what we want to see happen. You know, what he said, what donald trump said last night, quite plainly, was Vladimir Putin called me brilliant. So im going to take that as a compliment and im going to compliment him in return. Then he cited 82 Approval Ratings in russia, which we all understand are are probably not accurate. And then went on to compare Vladimir Putin, might i remind, compare Vladimir Putin to barack obama, and called him effectively a stronger, better leader. And that is why, to get back to your first question, guys, that is why Hillary Clinton came out on the tarmac today, swinging, because she wants to underscore this comparison and she wants the American People to make a judgment on that. Its a completely fair question for Hillary Clinton to be asking right now. After that forum last night. Completely. All right, guys, stick around. A lot more to discuss. Donald trump says he knows u. S. Intelligence officers are not happy with President Obama. How is that, you ask. He says he saw it in their Body Language during the Class Fewed Intel Briefing hes received. Details on that ahead. Plus, Hillary Clinton is now firing back after the rnc chair criticizes her facial expressions during last nights forum. Her response, thats coming up.

He supported it as it happened and he is on record as supporting it after it happened. Praising russian President Putin while trashing President Obama. Hes been a leader far more than our president has been a leader. [ laughs ] okay, okay. The u. S. Intelligence officials have a problem with President Obama. Donald trump seems to think so. During last nights Commander In Chief foruforum, trump was aske what he noticed in his Intelligence Briefings. Heres some of what trump said. Our leadership, barack obama, did not follow what our experts and truly, when they call it intelligence, its there for a reason, what our experts said to do. How . I was very, very surprised. In almost every instance. I could tell. I have a pretty good Body Language. I could tell they were not happy. Our leaders did not follow what they were recommending. All right, Hillary Clinton had a response for that this morning. Lets listen. I think what he said was totally inappropriate. And undisciplined. I would never comment on any aspect of an Intelligence Briefing that i received. All right, our panel back with us now to discuss. Admiral cubic, there are two parts, the part Hillary Clinton was talking about here, and the other part which, you know, were hearing from our intelligence experts. Phil mudd who worked in the fbi and cia, knows a little bit about briefings. Phil mudd told us these briefers, theyre not telling the people
