CNNW CNN Newsroom With Brooke Baldwin September 12, 2016

Two days later after this video of her sort of stumbling into this van getting a little help actually came out. A passerby recording this with staffers helping her into that suv. We know she had to cut her appearance short. This was an event commemorating september 11th. Were also learning that both donald trump and Hillary Clinton will be released more medical records this week. In the meantime, donald trump is sending secretary clinton well wishes. Well, i hope she gets well soon. I dont know whats going on. Im like you, i see what i see. The coughing fit was a week ago, so i assume that was pneumonia also. I mean, i think it would have been, so somethings going on. I just hope she gets well and gets back on the trail and well be seeing her at the debate. The key question is we know the campaign knew shefgs sick, specifically she had pneumonia friday. Why did it take you all 48 hours to tell the public . Well, you know, brooke, she just wanted to power through. She knew she had pneumonia on friday, but she had a really important schedule. She had a meeting here in new york city on friday with leading National Security experts to talk about solutions to global terrorism. She did a press conference and she had an event that night. You know, on sunday it was very important to her to attend the 9 11 memorial. I appreciate all of her desire to power through. But the issue is, and i know its transparency. You all said initially she overheat when actuality she has pneumonia. Why not say pneumonia from the get . This is on us. It was very important for her to attend the memorial on sunday morning. She was out in the sunday for an hour and a half. She felt overheat and wanted to leave. As soon as she got in the car and air conditioning and had water, she felt us that was on us, the campaign. She wanted to go to her daughters house and play with her granddaughter. It was our mistake for taking too long to inform people. We wanted to make sure she was okay and we wanted to get in touch with her doctor and have her talk with her and meet with her that afternoon and then we released a statement from her doctor as soon as that happened. The issue that obviously critics and folks who are still trying to decide in these waning weeks, its the trust issue. How can we trust Hillary Clinton. Shes caught fainting and stumbling into this suv. The question on some voters minds is, had that video not been released, would we have known at all . How would you respond to those critics . Honestly, she just wanted to power through her schedule. She wanted to get it all done. She got a little overheat and dizzy but felt better immediately and then we put that statement out. You know, i think wasnt there concern forgive me. Wasnt there a concern because of these crazy conspiracies, these concerns floating out there to not disclose, to withhold until you absolutely had to Say Something . No, no. I can say, brooke, i was involved in all of this yesterday. Honestly, our first concern was just to make sure she was okay and talk to her doctor and make sure she was able to see her doctor on sunday. We always intended to put out that information. And we did as soon as she as soon as she met with that doctor. I have to say, this is in real stark contrast to donald trump who, as you know, has not put out a complete medical history, not released his taxes. The comparison between these two candidates and how transparent theyve been is stark. Trust me, i know a lot of people would love to see his tax returns. Thats something the media will continue demanding of him. We both know both of your cam campaigns are releasing more medical records later this week. We know shes having to sit out for tleast the next 48 hours. Will you send bill clinton to the fundraiser in cal . If hillary had her way, she would object a plane today. She always wants to get to work and power through. We encouraged her to take her doctors advice. She has allergies which resulted in the cough and then she has pneumonia. Were giving her a day off so will bill clinton hop a plane instead . You know what, we are working out those details as we speak. Okay. One of the questions i think someone was on with me last hour and do the full mccain. What john mccain did, releasing all of his medical records and allow journalists like our chief medical correspondent sanjay gupta to sit and pore through them. Theres a precedent for that. You know, brooke, she already put out a year ago, unlike donald trump, a comprehensive medical history. Were talking to her doctor. Were going to put out very much more soon. We just want to put aside any lingering concerns about this. Shes very strong and very healthy. This is unrelated to her to what happened in 2012, which she fully recovered from. This is the only condition that she has. Final but were going to put out more from her doctor. Well be looking for it. Final question on her health, youve seen donald trump es sishlly saying, listen, he was asked about, this saying i dont know anything about it and i wish her well. Does the campaign give him any credit for taking the classy route on this one . You know, we appreciate that he wishes her well. You know, shes going to be right back out on the campaign trail. I expect in the next few days because the stakes in this election are so high. Shes going to be talking about why shes the right choice to be our president because she plans to make a real difference in peoples lives. Lets move on to the comment she made friday at a fundraiser in new york. First, let me play the comments and then Donald Trumps response today. Here we go. Just be grossly generalistic, you could put half of trumps supporters into what i call the basket of deplorables. Right . The racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, islamophobic, you name it. I was deeply shocked and alarmed this friday to hear my opponent attack slander, smear, demean these wonderful, amazing people, who are supporting our campaign. It was, perhaps, the most explicit attack on the American Voter ever spoken by a major Party President ial nominee. Total disrespect for the people of our country. So, on secretary clinton, we know over the weekend, you know, she expressed her regrets, but from you, i just want to understand specifically what is it that she regrets . Well, she made this clear. What she said is she regrets saying half. That was certainly too generalistic. Thats not what she meant. On saturday morning she wanted to correct that immediately and apologize because thats what hillary is. She takes responsibility and apologizing when Something Like this happens. She just wanted to say, she didnt intend half. But the larger point she stands by, which is many of his supporters say deplorable things. She believes that he should denounce the support of the former leader of the kkk who supports him. I mean, lets keep in mind that donald trump is someone who has encouraged these kind of what used to be fringe extremists. Hes given them a real platform. And she believes their values are unamerican. But he has denounced david duke, just so were all on the same page. He has denounced david duke. You know this. Shes running to be the president of all of the United States of america. And so whether theyre Trump Supporters or not, should she not insult them . This is what shes saying. They are trafficking in hatred and bigotry. He is retweeting white supremacists. David duke said himself the White National movement is growing because of donald trump because hes an important part of that growth. So, that is really problematic to hillary. She doesnt believe that that reflects American Values and shes going to stand by calling out just incredible hatred and big bigotry. She doesnt think thats right. All right, kristina schake, thank you. Thank you. With me to discuss i have cnns chief medical correspondent, dr. Sanjay gupta, cnn analyst jackie kucinich, Washington Bureau chief for the daily beast. Breanna, since youve been covering Hillary Clinton since the beginning before the beginning. Before the beginning of all this, was there anything that kristina said that surprised you . No. I think heats what weve been hearing from the campaign, and we also heard brian fallon say earlier, that pneumonia is the one thing that is afflicting Hillary Clinton. Where you see the campaign in this position of pushing back on some of these unfounded assertions by donald trump surrogates that theres a bigger issue to Hillary Clintons health and perhaps the fact that she had a concussion in 2012, she hasnt fully recovered from that. Of course those in the clinton circle say is definitely not true. So you know, they found themselves in this position where theyve had to come out and say Hillary Clinton has pneumonia two days after she actually got the diagnosis and theyre trying to be very clear now that thats it. Sanjay gupta, what are your Unanswered Questions on her health . Well, you know, sort of regarding this pneumonia, its interesting, as everyone knows now, we got the information a couple of days after she was diagnosed. Which was good to get the information, but pneumonia is still a very big term. We dont know specifically what kind of pneumonia. We know shes on antibiotics. We dont know if this is bacterial or viral or something else. We dont know what medication shes getting. If she had a chest xray, we dont know what that showed. You may say, look, these are very specific questions, very important medical questions but how relevant in the relevancy is, you know, when people say, how long is it going to take for her to recover . When is she going to be back on her feet . I think its very hard for people to answer the question without knowing those basic things. Did she have a chest xray . If she did, what did it show . Everything i know, if youre north of 65, its very serious. You need to take a week off. And then throw in her insane travel schedule. Shes taking two days, according to the campaign so far. Whats your assessment of that . Well, you know, again, i would i will preface by saying, i still dont feel like i have enough information to answer that. Look, there are people who can be in a hospital in an icu with pneumonia and people who have the more walking pneumonia who seem to be getting around okay. Im not sure where she really falls in that. Again, there is a notion that some of that is important, not just because those are medical details. Realize some of that seems inside baseball, but it is relevant in terms of determining how shes going to do, how shes going to feel, what her travel schedule should be like. I think most doctors would not recommend travel, not necessarily because the pneumonia would get worse but because the symptoms would get worse. She just wouldnt feel well. She may have more difficulty with coughing or shortness of breath. So, things like that, those are relevant details. So, as far as jackie kucinich, the political repercussion of her not being on the trail for the next two days i kept trying to ask, will her husband fill her shoes and i got a sort of, well, were working on her schedule sort of answer. Whats the political impact of her being off the trail for at les two days . Well, its not only her being off the trail for two days, its the fact that this whole controversy reminded people why they dont like Hillary Clinton. The secrecy, not looking like they were telling the truth at first, the changing story, her walking out and waving to the crowd knowing she had been diagnosed with pneumonia 48 hours earlier. That in and of itself isnt great for the clinton campaign. Her being off the trail, they have a lot of highpowered surrogates that were planning on going on the trail. Tim contain is continuing on the trail, Michelle Obama will be on the trail. She has a lot of people picking up the pieces. I dont know these two days will make a huge difference in terms of what people think of her but its the scandal itself and the fact they werent up front with the press and by that the American People, about what her actual condition was. What about trump shlgts brianna, and trump camp saying he will release results of his physical later this week. Thats right. And to be clear, both of these candidates have not released a ton of information, but Hillary Clinton has much more out there than donald trump when it comes to health and certainly when it comes to tax returns and financial information. So, thats the issue for Hillary Clinton is now because of this, she finds herself in this place where shes on the defense even though donald trump hasnt put much out there. He said he had a physical last week. We dont know which doctor did it, if it was the doctor who put out that letter, which instead of sanjay can certainly attest to this. Instead of some medical characterizations, had really yeah, we talked about this. Said, hell be the healthiest president ever. Admitting he was influenced by spectacular. Thats right. Dr. Harold bornstein who said he was in a rush and his limo was waiting for him or whatnot, just very bizarre. Trump says hes got his physical information. That will come out when the numbers are out. So, i guess well learn ekg, Blood Pressure, cholesterol, hopefully all those things, which weve already seen from Hillary Clinton. So, were waiting for that. Im sure well loop back and talk then once we get all the details. Thank you. Reminder to all of you, tune in at 5 00 eastern when president ial Vice President candidate mike pence sits down with wolf blitzer in the situation room. Is clintons remark comparable to romneys 40 remark . Hillary clinton says shes willing to work with vladimir putin, but as one expert says, putin cant stand her. How the relationship went so awry. And two weeks from tonight, the two nominees square off in the very first president ial debate and now trump is floating the idea of not having a moderator at all. Well discuss that.

Just another day at norfolk southern. Welcome back. Im brooke baldwin. This is cnn. Just a short time ago donald trump blasted Hillary Clinton at the National Conference in baltimore for saying half his supporters are, quote, basket of deplorables. Trump is now pouncing on her comments calling her divisive. We have the support of cops and soldiers, carpenters, we would welders, young and oung, millions of working class family who just want a Better Future and a good job. These were the people Hillary Clinton so viciously demonized. These were among the countless americans that Hillary Clinton called deplorabldeplorable, irr and unamerican. Nobodys heard anything like this. She called these patriotic men and women every vile name in the book. Secretary clinton says she regrets saying half of trumps supporters are deplorabldeplora. Let me bring in gregory cheadle, you may recognize him as the man who trump referred to some time ago at a rally as, quote, my africanamerican. Also with me, mark lamont hill, cnn commentator and professor at morehouse college. Gregory, to you first. You attended the trump rally. Last time we talked you said im 90 in support of donald trump, which i want to loop back with on that in a moment. But what do you think of Hillary Clintons comments . Unfortunately, i think its typical of politicians to see the voters as being unimportant. The only people who get the attention of politicians are donors. Th
