Transcripts For CNNW CNN Newsroom With Brooke Baldwin 201609

Benefits, a fairer tax code, a bigger voice for workers, stronger relations on wall street then you should be voting for Hillary Clinton and Katie Mcginty and bob brady to stand up for you. [ cheers and applause ] and if youre concerned about who will keep your family safe in this dangerous world then the choice is clearer. I just came from overseas. Talk to the other leaders around the world. They dont even understand how this is close. [ laughter ] hillarys worked with our intelligence teams and diplomats and military. She has the judgment and temperament and the experience to meet any threat. Theres no scenario she will not have seen before. And shell see it our troops finish the job of defeating isil, doing it the right way without resorting to torture without banning entire religions from our country. Shes prepared to be the next commanderinchief. [ crowd chanting hillary ] and then youve got the donald. [ laughter ] who just last week went on Russian State Television to talk down our military and to curry favor with Vladimir Putin. [ boos ] he love this is guy. Think about whats happened to the republican party. They used to be opposed to russia and authoritarianism and fighting for freedom and fighting for democracy and now their nominee is out there praising a guy saying hes a strong leader because he invades smaller countries, jails his opponents, controls the press, and drives his economy into a long recession. [ boos ] look, im actually being serious. Think about this. And when the interviewer asks him well why do you support this guy . Hes a strong guy. Look, hes gotten a 82 poll rating. Well, yes, Saddam Hussein had a 90 poll rating. [ laughter ] if you control the media and youve taken away everybodys Civil Liberties and you jail dissidents, thats what happens. The pollsters call you up and say do you support the guy who if you dont support him he might throw you in jail . You say yes, i love that guy. [ laughter ] that is Donald Trumps role model. I have to do business with putin, i have to do business with russia, thats part of Foreign Policy but i dont go around saying thats my role model. Can you imagine Ronald Reagan idolizing somebody like that . He saw america as a shining city on the hill. Donald trump calls it a divided crime scene. Hes not offering policies or plan, just offering division and fear. Hes betting if he scares enough people he might scare up enough votes to win this election. I mean, look i believe americans are not a fearful people. We dont look for being ruled. Our power comes from those ideals first put in place right here in philadelphia that all of us are created equal, that we the people can form a more Perfect Union we dont believe one person is going to do it for us. Its what we can do together achieved by us. Its hard but thats the necessary work of selfgovernment but Hillary Clinton understands that. Shes been through it. She knows in a democracy in a big diverse country like this one it doesnt work if we demonizem other and call each other names. She knows love trumps hate. [ cheers and applause ] she knows you have to compromise even when youre 100 right and she knows for progress to happen we have to listen to each other and we have to see ourselves in each other and we have to fight for our principles but also fight to find Common Ground and these days our politics doesnt always lend itself to those ideals. We get impatient, we want our progress right away and we dont want to have to compromise or listen to other folks. But i promise you when we stay at it, progress does happen. If you dont believe it, ask the 20 Million People who have health care today who didnt have it. [ cheers and applause ] ask the marine that serves his country without hiding the husband he loves. Democracy works, but heres the thing. We got somebody who fainted. This is what happens. Theyll be okay. Just give them a little room. Everybody bend their knees one time. Well do an exercise right now. Ems folks are in front if you can find somebody. Drink some water. I love you, too. But bend your knees. [ laughter ] listen to this. Youve got to want it. Youve got to want democracy. Not just on election day but all the days in between. We can close the inequality gap in our economy. Hillarys got plans to make sure everybody has a shot, not just those at the top but you have to help her by voting for democrats up and down the ticket. [ cheers and applause ] we can reform our criminal Justice System but youve got to vote not just for president but for mayors and sheriffs and states attorneys and state legislators. [ cheers and applause ] we have to work with police and protesters until laws and practices are changed. We can fix our broken immigration system, but we cant keep on sending republicans to congress who stand in the way. Weve got to vote for leaders who see immigrants not as criminals or rapists but as families who came here the same reasons ours did, to work and study and contribute we know that leaders in congress we need leaders in congress who know that the wall isnt something that can contain people. This month was the hottest on record, this year will end up being the hottest on record, this is not somebodys imagination, this is not some liberal plot. Its a problem. But we have to vote for people who understand that its real. We have to worry about single moms worried about gas prices and coal miners worried about providing for their kids. And hillarys got real plans to do that. If you dont think the stakes are high enough, remember for months the republicans in the senate have refused to do their job and fill a vacancy for the Supreme Court. [ cheers and applause ] even though i nominated somebody with more federal judicial experience than any nominee in history, they want to see donald trump fill it with somebody who sees the world as he does. Imagine that. Who would that person be . The Supreme Court should be above politics. They make monumental decisions that affect every aspect of our daily lives, from a womans right to choose to your right to vote. [ cheers and applause ] so my most Important Message is we cant take this election for granted. We have to fight for this thing. There are serious issues at stake in this election. Behind the frivolous stuff that gets covered everyday. And let me just make a comment about that ch. Im not running this time but i sure do get frustrated with the way this campaign is covered. Im just telling the truth. Guys in the back, im just telling you the truth about how i feel about this. Do you mind if i just vent for a second . [ cheers and applause ] you know, you dont grade the presidency on a curve. This is serious business. And when we see folks talking about transparency, you want to debate transparency, you have one candidate in this debate whos released decades worth of her tax returns. The other candidate is the first in decades who refuses to release any at all. [ boos ] you want to debate foundations and charities . One candidates Family Foundation has saved countless lives around the world. The other candidates foundation took money other people gave to his charity and then bought a sixfoottall painting of himself. [ laughter ] i mean, i you know, he had the taste not to go for the tenfoot version but [ laughter ]. You want to debate whos more fit to be our president . One candidate whos traveled to more countries than any secretary of state ever has, has more qualifications than pretty much anyone whos ever run for this job and the other who isnt fit in any way, shape, or form to represent this country abroad and be its commanderinchief. [ applause ] so somehow as things go on because weve become so partisan, our standards for whats normal have changed. And donald trump says stuff everyday that used to be considered as disqualifying for being president. And yet because he says it over and over and over again the press just gives up and they just say, well, yeah. Okay. I was opposed to the war in iraq. Well, actually, he wasnt. But they just accept it. The bottom line is that we can not afford suddenly to treat this like a reality show. We cant afford to act as if theres some equivalence here. To be president , you have to do your home work and you have to know what youre talking about and youve got apply study judgment even when things dont go your way and youve got to make the tough calls even when theyre not popular. Even when they take years to pay off and you have to handle criticism without taking it personally, just brushing it off. And then go ahead and get the job done. And thats something i learned. And thats what hillary learned as a senator and secretary of state and first lady. Yes shes got her share of critics like i do and shes been caricatured by the right and sometimes by the left and shes been accused of everything you can imagine and has been subjected to more scrutiny and what i believe is more unfair criticism than anybody out here and she doesnt complain about it. And you know what . Thats what happens when youre under the microscope for 40 years. But what sets hillary apart is through it all she keeps going and she doesnt stop caring and she doesnt stop trying and she never stops fighting for us even if we havent always appreciated her. We are a young country, we are a restless country. We like the new shiny thing. I benefited from that when i was a candidate and we take for granted sometimes what is study and true. And Hillary Clintons steady and she is true. [ applause ] and the young people who are here, who all youve been seeing is just the nonsense thats been on tv, you maybe dont remember all the work that she has had to do and all the things she has had to overcome and all the good that has happened because of her efforts. But you need to remember, you need to understand this. If youre serious about our democracy then youve got to be with her. Shes in the arena and you cant leave her in there by herself. You have to get in there with her. [ applause ] you cant stay home because shes been around for a long time. You know what . This is not reality tv. Democracy is not a spectator sport. You dont tweet in your vote. Americas not about yes he will, its about yes we can. Yes we can. Yes we can. Create more good jobs. Yes we can create better schools, yes we can create safer streets. Yes we can create a more secure world. We can bring about real change and Real Progress the time has come for me to pass the baton on but Hillary Clinton will run that race and she will finish that race and thats why im with her, thats why im fired up, thats why im ready to go and i need you to join me. [ cheers and applause ] i need you to work as hard for hillary as you did for me. [ cheers and applause ]. I need you to knock on doors. I need you to make phone calls. You have to talk to your friends, including your republican friends. You need to go to iwillvote. Com and register to vote by october 11. Then you have to go to the polls and get people to go to the polls and if youre willing to do that with me is well win in november. Well elect Hillary Clinton the next president of the United States [ cheers and applause ] we will continue on this journey to create a better america and a fairer america, a more just america, a more loving america, a brighter america. Thats what were fighting for. Thats why i need you. Lets get busy, lets get to work. Thank you, philadelphia. Got bless you, got bless the United States of america. [ cheers and applause ] president obama, this is significant. This is the first time we have seen him as a solo appearance stumping for Hillary Clinton. He wants to, as he just said, pass the baton on, there he is in philadelphia. Really echoes of then senator obama running for reelection in 2012 hearing things like dont boo, vote. Fired up ready to go. The crowd chanting yes we can. Trying to fire up the electorate. Telling them why the man who, oddly enough, weve been watching in the little box on the screen speaking at the same time, donald trump, why he thinks he is not the man to be the next commanderinchief he also criticized the guys in the back, the press. Lets get into all of that. I have susan page with me, the Washington Bureau chief for usa today now covering her ninth president ial race. Well stay on these pictures. Cnn senior political reporter niamalika henderson. Crisco advantage who supports donald trump. Hilary rosen a, a democratic strategist who supports Hillary Clinton and with me here on set who covered obama the last couple of rounds jeff zeleny. Susan page, i defer to you as you have been through as we mentioned, what, nine elections and listening to president on his talk of transparency, of a double standard, what jumped out at you . Ive covered nine, this is my tenth. Never in those campaigns have you had an incumbent President Campaign with that kind of enthusiasm for his partys nominee to succeed. For various reasons al gore didnt want bill clinton out there. John mccain did not want george w. Bush out there. This is a case where barack obama aligns with Hillary Clintons position. He wants Younger Voters and africanamericans to turn out in significant numbers. You saw his power to do that in that rally we just watched in philadelphia. Nia, what did you any why is he in philadelphia, too . Philadelphia has always been good to democrats. You think about 2008, barack obama drew 35,000 folks there in 2004 john kerry was there with bill clinton, drew a crowd of like 100,000. Its the center of that pennsylvania getoutthevote machine for democrats and democrats need to win pennsylvania this go round if theyre to continue obamas legacy and have Hillary Clinton take the white house. He was feeling it out there. This is a president who has a 58 Approval Rating according to this Washington Post poll that came out just recently. And i thought he very effectively picked apart some of Donald Trumps arguments. He was mocking him. He talked about the bizarreness, he framed it that way, of donald trump seeing putin as a role model. He talked about this idea of donald trump being a champion of working class. Americans, but yet someone who wouldnt let working class americans in his buildings or someone who wouldnt let working class americans on to his golf courses. I thought he was so effective here in this crowd today and i am sure the Hillary Clinton campaign is pleased and wants to see him out there more and more and in october he will be out there much more. His line he was sort of on a roll getting the crowd to laugh, talking about when he was talking about Vladimir Putin as a role model and talking about Saddam Hussein and saying, listen, if you jail dissidents and you control the media, youd have a 90 Approval Rating, too. Chris kovac, to you. We heard about this transparency when Hillary Clinton was on the phone with anderson cooper, we heard it with president obama, this lack of transparency when it comes to your candidate. Do you agree with that . We just dont know a lot about donald trump. Well, i mean, i think thats a hard charge for the Hillary Campaign and by extension president obama to make, too, because we have all of the destroyed emails on hillarys part and the lack of transparency tax returns, medical records, two examples they would throw back at you. Right, but im saying right, exactly. Theres no question trump has said you will see the tax returns after the audit is done. Im sure the Trump Campaign will be happy to put out medical records in light of the recent difficulties with. I dont think there will be a lack of transparency there. Ill say this about obama hang on. When you bring up the medical records. Do we know how far back, how detailed the trump medical records will be when theyre released this week . I dont know how far. I havent gotten any information on that. But i wouldnt be surprised in theyre pretty significant. Let me say this. I think having obama speak on behalf of hillary was a smart move because one of the main problems weve seen in this entire Campaign Year for the Clinton Campaign is an enthusiasm gap. Remember in the republican primaries trump brought all kinds of people out of the woodwork and had huge recordsetting numbers. On the democrat side you didnt see that. So obama has the ability to motivate people and get them excited for hillary, the base, that is, people who are already thinking about voting for hillary but its a doubleedged swortd because it reinforces hillary will be a third obama term and i dont think theyre running away from that anymore in the Hillary Campaign and that plays into trumps argument that, look, i can blame the wage stagnation on hillary, i can blame the poor economy, our weakness abroad on hillary because shes embracing the idea that she will be the third obama term. So it has a negative consequence for the campaign. I think on economics, he brought up the new numbers with regard to the Median Income going up to 56,000. His line was republicans dont like to hear good news right now. So hilary rosen, i want you to respond to that but i want you to respond to obamas point when he was saying Hillary Clinton is subjected to more scrutiny, more criticism, that there is a double standard. And lets remember that president obama has a majority Hillary Clinton<\/a> and Katie Mcginty<\/a> and bob brady to stand up for you. [ cheers and applause ] and if youre concerned about who will keep your family safe in this dangerous world then the choice is clearer. I just came from overseas. Talk to the other leaders around the world. They dont even understand how this is close. [ laughter ] hillarys worked with our intelligence teams and diplomats and military. She has the judgment and temperament and the experience to meet any threat. Theres no scenario she will not have seen before. And shell see it our troops finish the job of defeating isil, doing it the right way without resorting to torture without banning entire religions from our country. Shes prepared to be the next commanderinchief. [ crowd chanting hillary ] and then youve got the donald. [ laughter ] who just last week went on Russian State Television<\/a> to talk down our military and to curry favor with Vladimir Putin<\/a>. [ boos ] he love this is guy.

And lets remember that president obama has a majority Approval Rating<\/a> in this country, much more significant so if the Trump Campaign<\/a> will try to hang him around hillarys neck theyll be surprised because hes quite popular, particularly in the States Donald<\/a> trump has to win to overcome her lead. I think we get to this point now in the race where Hillary Clinton<\/a> is going to be more proactive, more positive about the changes shes going to make in this country and i thought president obama was very articulate in saying essentially look at Donald Trumps<\/a> record. Hes cheated people, his foundation didnt just take other peoples money but it bought a sixfoottall painting of himself. This is not the kind of giep whos going to come up with policies to help you, the middleclass, in pennsylvania. On the enthusiasm point, though, let me bounce back when kris mentioned that, thats a valid criticism of Hillary Clinton<\/a> thus far, especially among some young folks. Jeff zeleny, you saw president obama, you covered him, you were showing me a picture in 08 and you remember these similar choruses which brought about enthusiasm, especially from young people yes, we can. Without a doubt. Hes hoping the response is the same. You have to remember there are so many millennials who didnt get the chance to vote for him so hes offering them a chance to vote for this third term. I could not v imagined sitting here a year or so ago thinking the Clinton Campaign<\/a> would have been okay running for a third obama term. And now they are because of the economic numbers and other things and because hes so different than mr. Trump. But whats striking here is weve never seen if president obamas translates to other candidates before. It didnt in 2010 when he lost control of the senate. It certainly didnt if 2014. This is a biggest test, i think, of his transferability here. Can some of those voters will they follow him and join him . He doesnt need to get everyone, he just needs to get that old band back together, the Obama Coalition<\/a> of voters. Thoos why hes in philly registering people to vote. Thats why hes here and Michelle Obama<\/a> is in virginia on friday. Hes the most valuable player in this campaign but its a big test for him and his legacy as well. Just one quick thing on the enthusiasm gaps which that, you know, no one, millennials or senior citizens, could be watching this campaign and just feel good about it. This is not a campaign thats talking about directly about the future of the country. Hillary clinton has to do everything she can to make it be about that but this has been for the last 15 months on the republican side and weve now brought it into the general a campaign of insults, of race baiting, of religion baiting. Its just an unpleasant thing to experience, i know for those of us sitting around that studio and so i can only imagine in so many ways how it feels to people who really want progress in this country, who want to build on the progress of this country. On progress, just quickly, we heard and mentioned a moment ago how obviously president obama was touting the positive economic numbers today. As we were listening to the president , donald trump was speaking as well. He just spoke about the economy, lets hear what he said. One in five american households do not have a single help in the labor force. Another 14 Million People<\/a> left the labor force since 2009 and the National Debt<\/a> has doubled to nearly 20 trillion during the obama years. So, all right, susan page, coming to you on your 10th president ial election youre covering. Heres more numbers just to confuse everyone but its significant. This is the news that came out today. This is from the u. S. Census bureau. Median income in the u. S. Grew to 56,516, that represents a 5. 2 raise for american workers, the first gain since 2007, additionally the poverty rate also declined, all obviously positive news, we heard the president out thing that as p t he said yes it took time for change. How do you hear trump juxtaposed with the positive news today . This is very important statistics for the democrats because we know that the Unemployment Rate<\/a> has gone down significantly, down below 5 , cut in half during president obamas tenure but the stag station of wages has been a big problem for american households, this means more americans can feel the economy is really in that recovery that weve technically been in for some time but which a lot of people and their families and households havent felt. Definitely important statistic. But you see two different versions of america from these two campaigns and we saw that in the two conventions in july, a much more upbeat version of where the country is headed among clinton supporters and democrats than Trump Supporters<\/a>. We found in our latest poll that about 6 in 10 clinton supporters think the country is headed in the right direction. 90 of Trump Supporters<\/a> think the nation is headed in the wrong direction. This may be the most fundamental divide between these two campaigns. Kris kobach, i want to play this sound. This is from trump talking about the economy, talking about the different parties. This is from 2004. It just seems that the economy does better under the democrats than the republicans. Now it shouldnt be that way but if you go back, it just seems the economy does better under the democrats but weve had some pretty bad disaster under the republic republicans. It just seems the economy does better under the democrats. This is something the Clinton Campaign<\/a> grabbed on to when they tweeted out today, kris. It is interesting. If you look at the economic ebbs and flows, the ups and downs of gdp, sometimes a democrat is in the white house and sometimes a republican is but there have been some periods when democrats have been in the white house but i think we have this probably false conceit in america that whoever is president has the ability to just by their own will somehow change the economy, we know that its a combination of what are the tax policies coming out of congress, what is the president doing . So its a variety of things. But trump wasnt saying that. I hear you on the nuance and the different administrations but trump is speaking in a bit more general terms saying it just seems the economy does better under the democrats. Weve had some pretty bad disasters under the republicans. His own words. I think he was probably talking about the way i read it, when a democrat is sitting in the white house because for example the second term of the Clinton Administration<\/a> you had republicans balancing the budget in congress, clinton signing that budget and so you had some good years but a lot of it had to do with republican fiscal conservatism. So its hard to generalize like that. Bottom line is trump is go ahead. Go ahead, hillary. I was going to say much of it has to do with the fact that when the republicans were in charge they drove up the deficits by creating huge tax cuts across the board. Creating a big vacuum in the economy and essentially crashing the labor force. And so that is and then, you know, trump started to make more money when democrats came into office. Thats what hes saying and yet what hes trying to do now is to suggest that is those same policies, those same advisors, those same acrosstheboard tax cuts are somehow going to create a different situation for the middleclass voter, its not true. I thought it was interesting, president obama was questioning how donald trump would be championing working class people, nia, to you. Questioning the appeal of working americans to mr. Trump. Seemed to highlight that. I think that was one of the most effective lines in his speech today, essentially taking one of trumps arguments and his selling point that he alone conditioned k do it and he is the voice for so many voiceless and saying well, what have you done so star in that regard and i think donald trump and his supporters will say listen, hes created x number of jobs as a businessman but i do think its fair to look at those business practices, to see if hes invested. For instance, hes going to detroit saying he wants to invest in those communities, well he hadnt done that already as a business person so i think obamas tone, the kind of mockery and the questioning i think is a smart one and i think even this ad that you see today with donald trump saying democrats do it better, he sounds like bill clintons speech from 2012 and you can imagine that if youre a democrat youll make that into an ad because there you have donald trump arguing the democratic policies are better for the economy. Final question, jeff zeleny, to you. She mentioned bill clinton in terms of people on the trail this week because obviously Hillary Clinton<\/a> is recouping from pneumonia, her husband will be at fundraisers in beverly hills, who are the big names . The biggest name is the one we saw right there in pennsylvania but tim kaine was in michigan, Chelsea Clinton<\/a> has two stops today in North Carolina<\/a> so really the entire democratic bench has been out there and Hillary Clinton<\/a> has been up with ads but i think the key takeaway here, president obama i am told by his advisors is so serious about this, and we heard him say hes like i am really, really, really into electing her. He is pretty much clearing his calendar to the extent he can in october to campaign for her and i think that he makes probably the best argument. We saw in 2012 at the convention how bill clinton made the argument for barack obama, made the economic case for that. Barack obama is Hillary Clinton<\/a>s bill clinton, if you will. I think he can make the case better. Hes not related to her, they used to be adversaries, i think he has some credibility here, at least with that coalition here, so she has a big bench that can tell you her advisors would also like to see her on the road soon which were told will happen later this week. Jeff zeleny, we ask everyone to stand by. Coming up, well continue this debate over the deplorables, trumps running mate calling on Hillary Clinton<\/a> to apologize. Were hearing from Hillary Clinton<\/a>s running mate on this comment. What tim kaine is now saying. Im brooke baldwin, youre watching cnns special live coverage. Well, my opponent slanders you as deplorable ander redeemable. I call you hardworking american patriots who love your country and want a Better Future<\/a> for all of our people. [ cheers and applause ] her comments displayed the same sense of arrogance and entitlement that led her to violate federal laws as secretary of state, hide and delete her emails. 33,000 emails. Donald trump speaking moments ago in iowa grabbing that basket of deplorabless Hillary Clinton<\/a> made. She is being lambasted by a number of republicans on that. His campaign, Donald Trumps<\/a>, pouncing on her words, painting her as this elitist who doesnt care about american voters, whos smearing, as he just said, patriots. His running mate, governor mike pence doubling down calling on Hillary Clinton<\/a> to apologize but you know what . My next guest says shes not wrong. Dana milbank, opinion writer for the Washington Post<\/a> who just penned a piece yes, half of trumps supporters are racist. Dana milbank, thank you for joining me. Good to be with you. In reading your piece you say clinton wasnt wrong. You went on to say if anything she lowballed the number and this election has showed us there is so much more racism in this country than we believed. Its true and im not making the argument that half or more of Trump Supporters<\/a> are putting on sheets at night and not that kind of racist but and im not saying it was smart of Hillary Clinton<\/a> to say such a thing and i think youre seeing the blowback for that there. But if you look at things like the American National<\/a> election survey, the Gold Standard<\/a> of Research Going<\/a> on in this country for years, you actually can unpack those numbers. Theres been a huge jump in the amount of racial stereotypes expressed by white people in america, people who will say that black americans are less intelligent or lazier than white americans. And its really quite shocking, Something Like<\/a> 62 of white voters have these sorts of sentiments and by better than 21 they vote republican. So as a matter of statistics, its probably true that people expressing racist sentiment are constitute more than half of Trump Supporters<\/a>. They were, in fact, more than half of mitt romneys supporters and now you see trump obviously taking the rhetoric far beyond anything the republicans have before. Listen, hes taking it it could be a smart strategy for him but you and i were just talking in commercial break, you were listening to president obama, as we all were here, and he didnt mention her comments a single time. Surprised by that . Well, it indicates that president obama doesnt think its good politics and what i was just mentioning this startling jump in racial sentiment in this country going from 2008, theres been sort of a 20 percentage point jump in the number of white americans expressing these racist stereotypes and a lot of that has to do with backlash against the first africanamerican president , one, now you see trump stirring it up saying to people its okay, its safe, youre not deplorable, and youre a hardworking america. And you have them, and you have mike pence refusing to use that word to even apply it to david duke so tacitly its saying its okay, its safe to say this, now. In fact, tim kaine was asked to weigh in on what you just mention mentioned and he condemned that interview. Heres a piece with tim kaine. Last night on a news program wolf blitzer asked a running mate is david duke deplorable . I dont want to get into the name calling business. If you can not call out bigotry, if you can not call out racism, xenophobia, if you cant call it out and you stand back and youre silent around it, youre enabling it to grow. Youre enabling it to become more powerful. My thought when i heard the is if you have mike pence saying well, i dont want to be part get into the business of name calling but yet he is signed on to a ticket where you have the president of the name calling club at the top of the ticket, im not sure what i was trying to say. Mike pence has created this deplorable situation for himself. On your network this morning you had Kellyanne Conway<\/a> saying just say hes deplorable. But rather than being sucked into that trap hes refusing to say it. Hell say david duke is a bad man, he wont use the word, you even have senator mike lee, a friend of mike pences saying come on, use the word. Now hes dug in there so what could have been a nice opening for the trump ticket seems to be causing the backlash because theyre refusing to denounce the deplorables in their midst, even just one of them. Dana milbank, thank you so much, come back any time, appreciate it. Coming up here, my trip to a barbershop in atlanta, rapper michael render, killer mike, noted Bernie Sanders<\/a> surrogate, joined me as we talked to a couple of his friends. It was quite the conference, it was real and what they said about donald trump and Hillary Clinton<\/a> might surprise you. Why do you question trump because he hasnt released them . Because hes a big fat liar. Thats true. Thats true. Ill grant you that. We go back to hillary. We going to say hillarys a liar it doesnt matter shes sick it matters she lies and it matters she lied about being sick. Is that icet . Nope, its lemonade. Is that icet . Lemonade. Icet . Whats with these people, man . Lemonade, read the sign. Lemonade. Read it. Ok. Delicious. Icet at a Lemonade Stand<\/a> . Surprising. Whats not surprising . How much money marin saved by switching to geico. Yo, icet its lemonade, man fifteen minutes could save you fifteen percent or more. Breaking news out of israel where former president shimon peres has been hospitalized after suffering a brain episode. Were joined live from jerusalem. The former president , 93 years of age. Hows his condition . Well, weve learned that brain episode was a stroke he suffered earlier this evening. At first he was taken to the hospital, he was fully conscious in stable condition just a short time later we got another statement from the office of president or former president shimon peres saying he had been sedated and intubated, was to undergo a cat scan so doctors could understand his condition. Thats the update after former president shimon peres, 93 years old, suffered a stroke earlier this evening. Were awaiting the update of his condition. The results of that cat scan which we expect we hope comes from the hospital. This isnt president shimon peress first time in the hospital this year. He was taken to the hospital in midjanuary having suffered a mild heart attack. A week and a half later he suffered an irregular heart beat. He was there for five days and at the hospital last week to have a pacemaker to put in. Another trip to the hospital. Everybody wishing a speedy recovery. Thank you so much for the update there. Meantime the barbershop is known for candor, politics and perspective. I went to the graffiti swag shop to hear about trump and clinton and the impact of the black vote on this years election. You are about to hear a candid conversation, six people including michael render, a. K. A. Killer mike, rap, activist and the barbershop owner. You will hear from taj anwar baul, a firefighter and urban farmer, shelley winters, a harlem native voting for donald trump, jamida orange whose father march misdemeanor miles with dr. King, a grassroots activists and local leader who is not at all voting on a national level, period. And christine white, an attorney and is all in for Hillary Clinton<\/a>. Here is the beginning of our conversation which took off very quickly. R. I think this weekend marks the turning point. I think the illness why is that in air quotes . Her doctor says she has pneumonia. Because last week when i believed this i was call cooke. Who are you supporting . Donald trump. But i think this is a turning point in the election. I think that you lieds about being sick, what else have you lied about and youre already seen as a liar. Who else feels like she lied about being sick versus just being sick . Why would she need to lie about being sick . That doesnt even make sense to me. Theres no rational argument about being sick. Theres a long history in america. Fdr was in a wheelchair for the majority of his presidency. Were talking about Hillary Clinton<\/a> in 2016. The reason why she would lie is because, one, shes a woman, one, you dont want to appear weak because youre a woman so by appearing and so shes not lying because shes a woman. No, no, no. Thats what it sounded like. I didnt want you to get no, no, im married to a woman, my mom is a woman. You should see the looks youre getting right now from a jameiya. Women go to work sick all the time. But when you go to work sick you tell your boss hey, im not feeling well today. No, we dont. No, we dont. You dont . You dont . So first of all, her being sick is her personal business. Thats not something she needs to disclose. In my opinion. In your opinion. Because if i have something i had breast cancer. Why would i tell my employer that . What does that have to do with it. Are you running for president of the United States<\/a> . Does that mean i cant do my job . Im not running if president but i save lives for a living. People rely on me to be in tiptop shape. Do we need to know when this woman is on her menstrual cycle. Yes, you do because shes a woman and we got to tell it all you know he didnt mean it like that. But let me say this, though, i feel like were making mistake we as good black people always make. Look, man, i had a white champion in Bernie Sanders<\/a>, that was my man. It is hard for me not to bring him up in conversations but i must accept that hes out of the running. Whats best for black people . Like, i pray for everybody, hillary included. I pray for trumps toupee. [ laughter ] what is best for black people . And what made you pick donald trump versus how many Trump Supporters<\/a> among us . Raise your hand . Whos all in for hillary . All in for hillary. Contingent upon i feel like youre kind of waivering. I will commit. I will commit. What is a bigger deal for me is why trump wont release and i dont want to hear nothing about no audit, why he wont release his tax returns. Because hes says hes being audited although we havent seen proof. Why do you question trump because he hasnt released them . Because hes a big fat liar. Thats true. Ill grant you that. We go back to hillary. If were going say hillarys a liar it doesnt matter shes sick, it matter that she lies and it matters she lied about being sick and over a 30year period this is the attack that has been put on her and her husband, that you lie. You lied about having relations with other women. Same with hillary. Its a pattern. If you cant tell me that you feel bad, then you cant tell me that russias about to attack or anything. Anything of serious nature. Even though shes been secretary of state, has logged all these miles, at the end of the day its about lying . I feel shes going to win, if im just but shes going to and that is not an endorsement. Thanks, mike. She it seems the leader of the free world like i know we hear that and were in america. People expect a lot of us and i wouldnt want someone i have the confidence to lead the free world to just drop dead on me. I know shes a good politician. I know that shes a good enough politician to reward people who are going to give her up to 80 of their vote. My question always doubles back down to what colangi wants to say, whats in it for us . She cant do anything for us because she is a puppet. She represent this is two party system. This two party system is not designed to help us at the grassroots level, first and foremost. Secondly theyre both liars, were clear on that, we figured that out long ago so whether shes sick or not we know they both have a history of being psychotic, period, you know what i mean . We know she has no concern for our wellbeing as a people. We can take that back to 1994 with her and her husband the crime bill. Yes, the crime bill. Even though she says shes regret it had things shes said, thats still a big issue. Before the election who was talking about stopping Police Terrorism<\/a> on the street . Neither one of them. Who was concerned with the homeless population. Neither one of them. Whos concerned with the prison population . Over 60 of the prison population, we didnt hear a peep about that. She regrets it, thats good. I regretted selling drugs when i was younger when i got locked up. Me being a grassroots organizer, its all fair game here. It doesnt matter whether Hillary Clinton<\/a>s the president or dumb donald, wicked witch of the west, dumb donald, we dont care. Wicked witch of the west or donald . Were totally not concerned.
