CNNW CNN Newsroom With Brooke Baldwin September 28, 2016

Excite them herself. But i think Michelle Obama is the best person out there to have on your side in this toxic climate, poppy. Jeff, thank you for the reporting. Were waiting for Hillary Clinton and her former rival now advocate Bernie Sanders to take the stage. Well bring you live to durham, New Hampshire, as soon as we get that. Donald trump set to hold a rally in just a few minutes in iowa. The republican president ial candidate spoke to the polish National Alliance there. Trump then attended a private fundraiser at a golf course in bowling brook, illinois. Protesters gathered nearby holding those signs. Phil mattingly is with trump in council bluffs, iowa. I guess youve been in three states today, phil . Donald trump is busy. Theres no question about it. When it comes to Donald Trumps schedule, he has an intense one. Hes all over the place doing multiple battleground states but in that first event in chicago, we had an interesting moment for donald trump. You think back over the course of the last couple months, one of the things that has unnerved Foreign Policy officials in both parties and across the world has been Donald Trumps criticism of nato at one point call canning it obsolete, another point saying if you were presidehe we president he wouldnt honor the agreement where if one country is attacked all will enter the battle. This this is what he had to say to the group of polish americans. We want nato to be strong which mean we want more countries to follow the example of poland. If everybody country in nato made the same contribution as poland all of our allies would be more secure and people would feel better, even better, about nato. Nato is very important well work with poland on strengthening nato when i am president. We will strengthen nato. And well get nato involved with terrorism. Poppy, going from nato is answer obsolete to strengthening nato is not a small shift. His Foreign Policy advisors have been pushing him to move to that over the last couple months. When you talk to Foreign Policy officials, thats important because a lot of republicans in the Foreign Policy sector have been wary of trumps candidacy. And this is something Hillary Clinton went after him. She talked about article five specifically and said the only time its been invoked is after we were attacked on 9 11 and the 28 member countries came to our defen defense. Is that the shift for him now why he is saying we will strengthen nato . Theres no question this goes at least part of the way to take that attack line off the take. An interesting almost of this is this is part of a 48 hours where the Trump Campaign behind the scenes has been trying to figure out the next steps forward after the debate. If you talk to them publicly, theyre very happy with the debate performance. They raised a ton of money after the debate. Theyre talking about online polls that show donald trump as the victor of the debate but if you talk to them privately they are concerned about the fact that there was not a lot of serious preparation put in and it showed. What are they going to do to change things Going Forward . Im told today here in iowa and a rally in wisconsin they will sharpen their attacks on Hillary Clinton, particularly on her ties to wall street, on the socalled corruption issues that have plagued her campaign during the democratic primary and were effective. That will be a shift poppy. I have to jump in here. Phil mattingly live in iowa. Were expected trump soon. Thank you so much. Breaking news. Just two hours after the senate the house has voted to override president obamas veto of a controversial bill that would allow the families of those 9 11 victims to sue saudi arabia for its alleged role in the terror attack. The senate vote was overwhelming, 971 overriding the president s veto for the first time in his presidency. Lets bring if manu raju. 97 of them opposing the president on this. Remarkable. A very stunning rebuke for the white house in the president s final days here in office. His party did not listen to the concerns the white house laid out about this bill saying that this bill could expose americans overseas to retaliatory lawsuits from other countries who may kneel u. S. Military action should be grounds to sue these United States diplomats overseas, now not only that, the 971 vote in the senate just hours later the house doing exactly the same thing, paul ryan, the house speaker, just walking by me right now. 34877 vote here in the house to override the president s veto. Very, very overwhelming margin. The president was not table to sell his party to side with him. Now, theres been a bitter back and forth between democrats on the hill and the white house, the white house calling the senate vote today the most embarrassing thing the senate has done in more than three decades. Thats prompted a sharp rebuke. One democratic aide told me its amateur hour at the white house. Other Democratic Senators pushing back showing the message the party did not want to have on this final day of congress before they wrap up heading home to campaign ahead of the november elections, poppy. Manu, thank you very much for the reporting from capitol hill. Lets get to my political panel. With me now, chief political analy analyst gloria borger. Let me go to your reaction to what manu was just talking about. Such opposition to the president on this, the vote, 970. Well its stunning. I think basically what you have are senators feeling that they are being asked to be put between families who want to sue saudi arabia and then you have to white house whos saying we have a relationship with saudi arabia thats extremely important to the United States, theyre our key ally in the middle east and so i think both sides have interests in this case and the white house wasnt able to bring the senators around to see it their way. Gloria, i want to move on to the names reporting this morning. A lot of fascinating details they have about the trump camp, while publicly supportive of their and can day saying he did extremely well, look at the money he raised, they talked about how he needs to be much more rigorously prepared, drill him on answer, facts, counterattacks, somem sa peopld why didnt he go after her more on that . My question is do you read this report in the new york times, which has a number of unnamed advisors as their way of publicly making donald trump prepare better next time . Leaking it and saying if youre not going to listen to us you can read about it . Another way of communicating with the candidate. This very often happens in campaigns where you cant go to the candidate directly and say you messed up. You have to go around the candidate who pays attention to what people are saying on television the echo chamber, what youre reading in the names and if you want to tame the lion thats donald trump you have to figure out a way to do it without allowing him to continue to blame the moderator or the microphone. That was fascinating but steer sten, heres the thing. The next debate is different, right . The next debate is a town hall so hell get 40 questions from voters. And he went after lester holt on some things that were factual and he told lester they werent. You cant do that with a voter, can you . Well you would think that you cant but donald trump tends to do things his own way. But the problem remains the same whether the problem is the way he was in this debate and that is that he needs to prepare. Thats why youre seeing pressure being put on him through the new york times. Donald trump, as much as he bashs the new york times, he cares a lot about what is in names so this may be the only way to put pressure on him. Its ironic considering the line the Trump Campaign had been taking up until the debate was to mock Hillary Clinton for preparing. To basically make it out shes there with her binders studying locked up, hes so brilliant he doesnt need to prepare. Well it didnt work out. She completely filmed that on him in clearly a rehearsed line. Gloria, Michelle Obama stumping for the second time in a big speech today in pennsylvania, a key swing state Hillary Clinton wants saying things like donald trump she didnt use his name. Which she doesnt. She doesnt need to. She said you cant pop off, we need an adult in the white house. My question about Michelle Obama. Clearly she is being used strategically here and they call her the closer but who can she get to vote for clinton that isnt already . Thats what interests me. She has a 58 approval rating, a little higher than her husbands but theyre both popular. She can talk to millennials. Hillary clinton is up 16 points with millennial voters. Her husband carried millennials in 2012 by 23 points. The whole point is Michelle Obama convincing them not to vote for gary johnson and jill stein. Exactly. She also raised the birther issue and she can help with young people of color. Young minority voters who are not as enthusiastic about coming out and voting this time for Hillary Clinton, she talked about birther. She talked about how it demeaned her husband in one way or another. On the same way that he said on the radio she is my legacy. Exactly, exactly. So i think she can stir people to get out in vote in much the same way that Bernie Sanders can talk to millennial voters who will see him coming up with Hillary Clinton but its kind of a onetwo punch and she can be quite effective because shes a terrific speaker. And theres concern. There was this quinnipiac pole a few weeksing that showed 62 of people 1834 are considering vote for a third party. Thats what we have to hear from Bernie Sanders. Will he say dont throw your vote away . Hes an independent. Very, very good point. Lets move on to how regard dean because howard dean alleged that trump possibly was using cocaine at the debate. I cant believe were using these words in the debate but hes someone who ran for president , hes former head of the dnc. David chod, clinton supporter came out and said i love howard dean but this is nuts. Should he apologize . Hes been asked to and he refused to so i dont think there are many people who think this was what was going on. Donald trump has famously i dont think he drinks let alone does drugs. He says he doesnt drugs but howard dean on msnbc said im not saying he said it, im not making a medical diagnosis but its something we should talk about. It seems like hes trying to get back at them for what they did to Hillary Clinton with her health. Like just throwing it out there, lets talk about it kind of thing. But it seems out of bounds and what theyve done on hillarys health has been out of bounds so i dont think the way to react is to act like them. Ladies, stay with me. Lets go to New Hampshire and listen to Bernie Sanders trying to rally millennial voters for clinton. Transform america. [ cheers and applause ] youve come to the right place. Thanks very much for being here. I want to thank secretary clinton for inviting me to join her here in the great state of New Hampshire. [ cheers and applause ] and today i am asking all of you to think big not small [ applause ] to understand that here in the United States we are the wealthiest nation in the history of the world and if we are prepared to stand together and not allow people to divide us p up [ applause ] if we we are prepared to stand up to powerful and wealthy and greedy special interests there is nothing that we cannot accomplish, no goal that we cannot achieve, and that includes making fundamental changes in the way we Fund Higher Education in our country. [ cheers and applause ] here is a simple truth, 40 or 50 years ago, in New Hampshire or vermont, virtually any place in america, you went out, you got a high school degree, the odds are you can go out and get a decent paying job and make it into the middleclass. That was the world 40 or 50 years ago but that is not the world today. The world has changed, the Global Economy has changed, technology has changed, and education has changed today in a highly competitive Global Economy if we are going to have as a people the kind of standard of living that the people of the United States deserve, we need to have the besteducated work force in the entire world. [ cheers and applause ] let me be honest with you and tell you that sadly that is not the case today. Our nation used to lead the world in thor is sentage of Young Americans with college degrees. We were number one. Today we are number 15 and that is not acceptable. [ applause ] that is why secretary clinton and i understand that in todays world when we talk about Public Education its no longer good enough to talk about the first grade through high school. That was good. That was wonderful 30 or 40 years ago. It is not enough today. [ applause ] today when we talk about Public Education, it must mean making colleges and universities tuition free for the middleclass and working families of this country. [ cheers and applause ] now during the primary Campaign Secretary clinton had some very strong proposals, i had a different approach. But we came together after the campaign and reached an agreement that says that every family in this country earns 125,000 or less that is 83 of our population should be able to send their kids to public colleges and universities tuition free with. [ cheers and applause ] make no mistake, this is a revolutionary proposal for the future of our country with widereaching implications. Students will not be leaving college with outrageous levels of student debt. I talked to too many young people and people who were not so young who were paying off student debts of 30,000, 50,000, 100,000 and in some cases it was taking them decades to pay off those debts. I want young people to leave school excited about the future. The new businesses theyll open up, getting married, having kids, buying a house, not being saddled with tens of thousands of dollars in student debt. [ cheers and applause ] finally, making colleges and universities tuition free does something more profound than just lowering student debt. In New Hampshire and my state of vermont there are millions of low income families and working class families with kids who dont know anybody who graduated college. Their parents didnt graduate college, my parents never went to college and they are thinking to themselves there is no way in gods earth that they are ever going to make it through college and into the middleclass. What this proposal, secretary clintons proposal, tells us is a that if you are a low income family, a workingclass family if your kid studies hard and does well, yes, regardless of the income of your family your kid will be able to make it into college. That is a big deal. [ cheers and applause ] today hundreds of thousands of bright and qualified young people do not get a Higher Education for one reason and one reason alone their family lacks the income that is unfair to the future of this country. How many great scientists and engineers and teachers and Police Officers are out there who will never get a chance to do what they could do because of lack of income of their families, secretary clinton and i are going to change that, if you have the ability you will be able to get a college education. [ cheers and applause ] and while we are going to make colleges and universities free for the middleclass and working families of this country we are also mindful that there are millions of people out there who have already incurred deep debt and we intend to change that and lower those student debts as well. [ cheers and applause ] it makes no sense to us that when you go get an automobile loan, refinance your home for 2 , 3 , 4 , but there are millions of people stuck with Interest Rates at their student debt at 6 , 7 , 8 , people should be able to refinance their debts at the lower Interest Rates they can find. [ applause ] now some people will say, our critics will say, well, you know, its a good idea making public colleges and universities tuition free but its expensive. It costs a lot of money and the truth is it is an expensive proposal. But i will tell you what is even more expensive and that is doing nothing. [ applause ] we must invest in our young people and the future of this country and i will tell you something else. That at a time when we have massive levels of income and wealth inequality it is absurd, it is disgraceful for donald trump and his friends to be talking about monies of billions of dollars in tax breaks for the top 1 . [ cheers and applause ] i think that the overwhelming majority of the American People understand that it is far more important to invest in the future of our country than to give donald trump a and his family, Donald Trumps family a 4 trillion tax break if trump were to repeal the estate tax. The walton family, wealthiest family in america would get a 50 billion tax break. So when you have republicans telling us that it is okay to give tens and tens of balls of dollars in tax breaks to the richest people in this country, do not tell me that we cannot afford to make public colleges and universities tuition
