I think it is a good thing for me, because it will tell people more about me with respect to the Second Amendment. Because Hillary Clinton wants to essentially abolish the Second Amendment. And good morning. Im carol costello. Thank you so much for joining me. Donald trump thrives on the outrageous, but today, a grave new seriousness, has he gone too far. At best, he has forced his fellow republicans to mop up another debacle. At worst, plummeting to a new low, suggesting violence. Jason carroll has for you. Reporter donald trump on the defensive again. There can no other interpretation. Give me a break zrchl. Reporter blaming media bias. Hillary wants to essentially abolish the Second Amendment. By the way, if she gets to pick if she gets to pick her judges, nothing you can do, folks. Although the Second Amendment people, maybe there is. I dont know. Reporter trump doing damage control, claiming he was calling on the political powers of Second Amendment voters to make their voices heard, not advocating Violence Toward his rival. This is a political movement. This is a strong powerful movement, the Second Amendment. Hillary wants to take your guns away, wants to leave you unprotected in your home. Clintons campaign, quickly denouncing crump, saying he is dangerous and a president ial candidate should not suggest violence in any way. Other democrats echoing the same sharp rebuke. Senator chris murphy, calling it an assassination threat. Elizabeth warren, slamming him as a coward, who cant handle losing to a girl. And gabby given forffords, a brd line between political speech and suggestions of violence. Republicans blasting trump as well. Thats actually a very arresting comment. If someone else had said that outside the hall, he would be in the back of a police wagon now with the secret service questioning him. Reporter trump, blaming the desperate media for trying to distract what he calls clintons antiSecond Amendment stance. Even though clinton has never called for abolishing gun rights. The nra and running mate mike pence, coming to trumps defense. Donald trump is urging people around the country to act in a manner consistent with their convictions in the course of the election. And people who cherish the Second Amendment have a clear choice in this election. Reporter trump has taken heat for violent ret particular on the stump before. I would like to punch him in the face. Knock the crap out of him. Paul ryan, once again, issuing a tepid defense of trump. It sounds look a joke gone bad. I hope he clears it up quickly. You should never joke about Something Like that. Reporter carol, trumps critics say this is becoming a pattern. Trump comes out, make an offcolor or controversy statement, and critics are say enough is it enough. Jason carroll, reporting live. Thanks so much. What we do know, trumps comments led to a tigdal waive f tweets, writing he not only implied assassination, he implied Second Amendment are all assassi assassins. He suggested someone kill secretary clinton. We must take people at their word. The secret service must investigate. And Newt Gingrichs former press secretary, rich galen wondered, has the secret service ever arrested a protectee. I find his comments distasteful, disturbing and dangerous. The daughter of the principal killed in the sandy hook tweeted, quote, you think gun violence is a joke. Would love to tell you about moms life and her gruesome murder. So lets talk about this. Senior advisor to donald trump, Sarah Huckabee sander also join us in just a minute. Right now, we have the senator for politics, larry sabato, larry cellulsellers and scottie hughes. Thanks, carol. Thanks for being here. Scottie, the former cia director, michael hayden, said when youre candidate, you are not only responsible for what you say, but for what people hear. Donald trump may have spoken clumsy, but his words inspire. At the Republican National convention, his dire warning over the Second Amendment inspired a group of men to show up carrying semiautomatic weapons. We have a picture of those men. I hope so. They were there. And i talked with them. Please put up that picture, the video now. Okay, so we dont have it. But trust me, they were there. I talked with them. They meant no harm, but police were not happy. Dont words have consequences . Words definitely do. Beauty is in the eye of the b beholder, if you wants to take them negatively, thats how youre going to take them. If you listen and realize thats not what he meant, he did not mean that. This is what this campaign has become. You like him or dont. You either believe he meant it as a threat, or you believe thats exactly how he has stated and has many people like Rudy Giuliani and others have said, he meant to say how powerful and united the Second Amendment, people who want to defend it are. This is the not the first time weve heard a president ial candidate speak wrong. Biden in 08. If obama tries to fool with my beretta this just shows how polarized we are. You can continue that narrative, but those that support him, thats not what he was saying. I just want to go over his quote one more time before i get to the rest of the panel. This is his direct quote. Hillary clinton wants to abolish essentially the Second Amendment. By the way, if she gets to pick, if she gets to pick her judges, nothing you can do, folks. Although, the Second Amendment people, maybe there is. I dont know. If he is saying, if she gets to pick her judges, that would mean after she is elected president of the United States. So did he really misspeak, larry . You know, carol, i like scottie, i know her, and whatever she is being paid, and i hope it is something, it needs to be doubled or tripled. She so often, as many of the trump spokes people do have to defend the indefensible. This is indefensible. Maybe it was a joke, but you dont joke about such things. If you joke about bombing a plane in a tsa line, youre going to be whisked away, and youre going to be lucky if you dont end up in jail. So the long and short of it is, its just one more outrageous example that donald trump says, and his supporters wont be affected in the slightest. Weve all learned this. But weve also learned something else. The middle voters, the mainstream voters, the leaning republican or leaning democratic voters, independent voters, theyve been moving away from trump, precisely because of circumstances like this. All right, i want to bring in Sarah Huckabee sanders now, she is the Senior Advisor for donald j. Trumpment welcome to the panel. Good morning. Mr. Trump says he is good morning. Thank you for joining us. Mr. Trump says he is the law and order candidate. If he really is, shouldnt he be more careful about what he says . Look, here is the big issue. Ive watched this video multiple times, and you know, the person ahead of me just said that we have to continually come out and defends the indefensible. The problem is, were not defending his comments, were pushing back against a liberal media agenda. I watched that video probably 10 or 12 times, and couldnt come up with where they got that he was trying to incite violence. He was making a points about the power of the Second Amendment movement and the people that support the Second Amendment coming out and voting in november, and making sure that they vote for somebody that will protect the Second Amendment, versus Something LikeHillary Clinton who we know wont. Sarah, i guess what im saying is if donald trump is the law and order candidate, shouldnt he be ultra careful about what he says about guns . Look, i think he because by saying the Second Amendment, he implies guns. Implies. I think we particularly, all candidates have to be careful about what we say about guns, given the culture that we live in. But at the same time, when it comes to inciting violence, that wasnt his point at all. And we cant tip toe around the issues and the fact that one candidate will protect our Second Amendment and one wont. Thats a contrast that the American People need to know and deserve to know. The Second Amendment is one of the basic fundamental rights of being an american, and we have candidate that wants to weaken it and one that wants to protect it. Thats something we should talk about. We shouldnt avoid it and shouldnt hide from it. The reason were talking about this this morning is the secret service said it as aware of mr. Trumps comments. I cant really remember the last time that happened with a president ial nominee. With a president ial candidate. And i will say, sarah, that mr. Trump, there a pattern to him saying things. And then saying, oh, it was just a joke, or i was misunderstood. Im going to play you a few examples of that right now. I she gets out and she starts asking me all sorts of ridiculous questions, and, you know, cousy there was blood coming out of her eyes, blood coming out of her where ever. The poor guy, you gotta see this guy, i dont know what i said. Ah, i dont remember. Do you believe in punishment for abortion, yes or no . The answer is that there has to be some form of punishment. For the woman . Yeah, some form. Ten years, what . That, i dont know. Russia, if youre listening, i hope youre able to find the 30,000 emails that are missing. So sarah, after all of those things, mr. Trump says he was being misunderstood. Isnt it time he stop saying things that can be misunderstood . Look, i think were talking about the issue that took place yesterday, and this is clearly a moment where the media is trying to take his words and make them into something theyre not. There are moments where he probably wished he hadnt phrased something the way he did. But yesterday, it certainly wasnt the case. It wasnt that he was inciting violence it, was that the media was taking his words and turning them into something that absolutely were not there. Okay, so bacardi, Rudy Giuliani says the clinton spin machine is famous for making a mountain out of a molehill. This is the pattern for trump supporters. They came out and say we appreciate and love donald trump, because he says what he means. Then makes a comment like he said yesterday and then trump supporter says thats not what he means. I mean, its gotten to a point where we venture down this path of absurdity, and i really dont want to go down there, all i can think about is a young lady libe gabby giffords. He doesnt understand the power of his words and the mantle he holds. You cant go out and be in articulate. You cant go out and saying flippant offcolor, quoteunquote joke thats threatening the life of someone else. And i have the great deal of respect for scottie and sar remarks but this is indefensible. To say this is some liberal media bias, it is not the case. Because democrats and republicans alike, have come out and condoned this. All it takes is one nut job to come out. Just one nut job, and were going to have an incident. Thats on the hands of donald trump, and no one else. All right, were going to continue the conversation after a break. Ive got to end this one right here. You guys stick around and stay with me. Still to come in the newsroom, new emails and nagging questions for Hillary Clinton. Did her Clinton Foundation ignore boundaries and possibly the law in its dealings with the state department. Be the you who doesnt cover your moderate to severe plaque psoriasis.

Hillary clinton faces more scrutiny over a batch of newly released emails, specifically whether there was a chumy relationship when she served as the nations top diplomat. Good morning, could you carol. Some of these heavily redacted emails raise questions about the Clinton Foundations influence on the state department during clintons tenure. They lobbied a job for someone else, and from the emails band tells former aides at the department, huma abedin that it is important to take care of, and then that persons name is redacted in the email. Band is reassured that percent neal has been sending him options and then in a 2009, band directs abedin and mills to put a labanese, substance person on lebano lebanon this was filed through a lawsuit that was filed, and they were not in the initial batch of emails clintons team turned over to the state department. It is unclear why that was. The Trump Campaign has seized at the new batch of emails, citing them as clinton being corrupt. As would we know, there were prolonged investigations into a private email server while at the state department. It didnt lead to charges, but did fuel public distrust and has cast a shadow over her president ial bid. Clinton Campaign Spokesman says that, quote, neither of these emails involve the secretary or relate to the foundations work. They are communications between her aides and the were president s personal aide. Indeed, a recommendation was for one of the secretarys former staffers, who was not employed by the foundation. Regardless, carol, this continues to cast a shadow over her campaign. Back to you. All right, pamela brown, reporting live from washington. Thanks so much. The foundation raised money for needy people around the world, thats with the Global Foundation does. It also takes donations from Foreign Countries that some, you know, some of them dont share americas values. The question here in a nutshell, whether secretary clinton used her office as bait for her foundation money. I want to bring back in the panel. Bakari and sarah, larry, to talk about this. They do make you wonder, isnt it time that mrs. Clinton holds a press conference, and explains these emails . Well, i think you said it at the beginning of your premise of your question there. These emails dont prove anything. I mean, 60 of the public, unless youre living under a rock, do are a problem with Hillary Clinton, her trust and emails. No doubt about it. But that same 60 , if not slightly higher, also say theyre sick and tired of hearing about the emails and it is not changing the public perception. What weve done is doing but whether voters want to hear about it or not, as a journalist, i have the responsibility to find out whats up with this. The only person who can answer those questions is mrs. Clinton. As i a journalist, i think the premise of your question started out correctly. Here we are again, would you like to see Hillary Clinton hold a press conference . Yes, is she going to hold a breast press conference, i dont know. I dont make those decisions. To quote bernie sanders, im sick and tired about hearing about these damn emails. Sarah, how would you characterize these . I dont think the American People are sick and tired of hearing about the emails. I think theyre tired of Hillary Clinton getting a free pass on everything. She has had a career that has been riddled with corruption and she should be disqualified being president. She broke the law by using the servers and lied about it. And certainly, shouldnt be asking for a promotion, when my 4yearold gets in trouble, they dont get to just say oops, im sorry, i made a mistake. There are consequences. Hillary clinton should suffer consequences and there shouldnt be different rules for her than anybody else in the country. This is another reason she shouldnt be president and another disqualifier from her moving into a higher office. So larry, at the very least, should Hillary Clinton hold a news conference, you know, im going to totally remove myself from the Clinton Foundation, my husband, bill clinton, will step down. My daughter, chelsea, wont have anything to do with it. Would that be prudent . Well, carol, she certainly needs to interact with the press more than she does. She takes a question here, a few questions there. She has avoided the press like the playing. She doesnt like the press. Well, you know what, youre going to be president. You have to deal with the press or youre going to play a big price. The secondary issue really ought to be the primary issue. That is, the Clinton Foundation. It was obvious for years that this foundation wa
