CNNW CNN Newsroom With Poppy Harlow September 3, 2016

Black church service. You see trump there dancing and clapping beside omarosa, who is also a pastor. Lets take a look at what played out outside the church. Trump is not right. Hes a racist. Hes a bigot. Hes a ma sgynist. He made one of his strongest pitches yet to the Africanamerican Community telling the congregation his words were his own and straight from his heart. Lets take a listen. For centuries, the africanamerican church has been the conscience of our country. So true. Its from the pws and pulpits and christian teachings of black churches all across this land that the Civil Rights Movement lifted up its soul and lifted up the soul of our nation. Its from these pews that our nation has been inspired for better moral character, a deeper concern for mankind, and spirit of charity and unity that binds us altogether. And we are bound together. And i see that today. The africanamerican Faith Community has been one of gods greatest gifts to america and to its people. Theres perhaps no action our leaders can take that would do more to heal our country and support our people than to provide a greater platform to the black churches and churchgoers. Trumps former rival ben carson gave him a tour of his childhood home. Carson defended trumps comments in the past about the black community, including trump calling on black voters saying what do you have to lose . If you ask him about those comments, though, and allow him to explain it, youll see he says very readily i have a lot of africanamerican friends who are very wealthy who do very well. And i know the majority of black people dont live that way. So in addition to reaching out to black voters in detroit specifically, he also reached out, made an appeal to detroit as a whole. Listen to this. I want to make america prosperous for everyone. I want to make this city the economic envy of the world. We can do that. We can do that again. Factories everywhere, new roads and bridges, new schools. Especially schools. And new hope. Joining me now is the mayor of detroit, also a Hillary Clinton supporter. Thank you so much for being with me tonight. Thanks for having me on tonight, poppy. Its good to have you. Look, as you know, i have spent amount of time in detroit. Right. Look, the people of detroit, the schools need help, you know, businesses need help in terms of creating jobs. No question about that. The question is how do you best do that, right . I wonder, even as a clinton supporter, are you glad to see donald trump come today and tour that neighborhood with dr. Ben carson and make the remarks at the church . Whats your reaction to it . The reaction is when are you going to give us a solution . Anybody can say that in cities in this country we have too much poverty, we have too much crime, and the schools are in bad shape. Everybody knows that. What are you going to do about it. And still we havent heard. And i was hoping today that donald trump would not just describe the problem, that he would offer some solutions. Again, incident was nothing but reading somebody elses words off a page. So to be fair here, he said right at the beginning of his remarks, these are my words. These are my remarks and they come from the heart. Wait. Poppy, lets be real. You saw the release here. They gave him the questions ahead of the time for the interview. Then even the question of do you believe in the bible he had consultants scripting his answers. So i dont believe for a second when youre speaking from the heart, lieu at people in the eye, you talk to them directly. You dont read off a piece of paper in words that sound foreign to you. To be fair, mayor, before we move on, campaigns on both sides were off script talking points for their candidates ahead of interviews. But i want to move on and get to the facts here. Youre a clinton supporter, Hillary Clinton supporter. Have you heard from her and her camp specific solutions that you think would really help detroit and give your city what it needs . Not only have i heard from her, i spent hours in the room with her. And when you talk to Hillary Clinton, when you talk about what we need to do to get children to learn in the classroom, it is something she has been deeply engaged in since she was young. When you talk about creating job is opportunities, she has very specific plans for apprenticeships and plans for giving Financial Support to businesses who hire people in those apprentices. She has specific plans to rebuild the infrastructure of this country and creating job opportunities. She has plans for making college affordable. She has a whole range of ideas how you take people who need a chance to move up. So you read this op ed im sure in the Detroit Free Press about trumps visit. Part of the op ed said, look, hes not appealing to black voters. He is just trying to convince white voters that he is not racist and court their vote. Do you believe that was the cause of his trip . You know, it feels like a new season of the apprentice. He basically ran a primary campaign of bigotry and attacked all different kind of groups. Now he realizes he cant win in the general. So we go to phoenix and talk to latin latinos. And then he goes up and talks to africanamericans in detroit. Next you will see him in a citizenship class for immigrants. It comes off as so sincere. If you want to be sincere, tell us specifically what youre going to do. Thats what we are still waiting for. So when you look at the city of detroit, mayor, there have been, since 1962, every mayor of detroit has been a democrat. And donald trump in his remarks leading up to today the last few weeks, has said speaking to africanamerican voters, the democrats have failed you. I will not fail you. You need a change. What do you have to lose . Detroit fell into bankruptcy on the watch of a democratic mayor. Democrat since 1962. What do you say to critics who point to that, mayor . Absolutely. The local elected officials of detroit bear a measure of responsibility. The manufacturing leaders who lost a lot of our Manufacturing Base bear significant responsibility. We probably have got 25,000 vacant houses from the National Housing crisis in 2008 and 2009 that we are dealing with today that drove people out of their homes with bad mortgages that came at the federal level. Our cities didnt get here because one fern did something wrong. Whats happened is that we have not as a country valued the cities. There have been federal policies from freeway expansions to low mortgages and now interestingly enough the mill lessenals are moving back to the city. They will come and say cities are important. Hillary clinton believes that. Im still waiting to hear, other than whose fault it is and way you should be mad, i want to hear what he is going to do to help the city. I have seen some of the incredible turnaround from the millenials, stories that dont always make the headlines. Before i let you go, lets talk about race. You are the first white mayor of detroit since 1974. And, look, it is a predominantly Africanamerican Community when you talk about detroit proper. Do you think voters in your city care less about race and more about lets get something done. Lets stop talk building race and lets talk about solutions. I got elected in a landslide. I did it by going into the same places that donald trump went. Except instead of reading a bunch of prepared statements, i looked people in the eye and said heres what were going to do about the abandoned houses, the crime, streetlights out. And people responded. And i do think that in the city now we are seeing a comeback. Jobs are coming back. People are coming back. We are embracing all religions, all colors, all backgrounds. Everybody is being welcomed in the city of detroit now. Even donald trump. Mayor dug an, thank you for coming on tonight. My thanks to you for talking about that and, you know, its always important to highlight some of the great things that are happening in detroit that we dont always seem to headline. Thank you, sir. Always great to talk to you, pop. Straight ahead, well talk to a donald trump supporter who was in the church to hear what trump said. Well get that reaction ahead. Also, Mother Teresa set to become a saint tomorrow. But theres some controversy about this. Really, there is. Why is that . Well dig into that.

We just heard detroits democratic mayor criticize Donald Trumps visit to his city today. Mayor mike dug an said he did not offer specific solutions for detroit, and that is what his city needs. Earlier today, donald trump made a visit to a predominantly black church in detroit and spoke to the congregation. Afterwards, he accompanied dr. Ben carson to carsons childhood home in southwest detroit. Thats get a reaction to the mayor. A trump supporter. Thank you for being here. What did you make of what mayor the duggan said. He said i didnt hear any specifics. He has given them. Today in the church was more about uplifting the Africanamerican Community. He hasnt given specifics about how he would help detroit. He has talked about j1 visas, where 1,000 Foreign Workers come in excuse me, 100,000, and work seasonal jobs. He said he wants to convert them for a job bank for the innercity. Thats one. Number two, i think most importantly is school choice. We heard him tout that over and over again in speeches. We need to give options to schools. 2. 1 trillion from overseas and pumping them into the communities. He has given the specifics. I think today was more about saying how important the black Church Community has been to elevating our society as a nation. Two followup questions. The visa that you are talking about, they are the visas that were used to bring Seasonal Workers to Donald Trumps palm springs resort. They were the same visas. But he did advertise to fill those jobs. They were not filled by american citizens. So he did open it up to foreigners. Thats what the law stands now. Thats the j1 visas. They want to pump the jobs specifically into inner cities. Lets talk about the remarks at the church. This was a different trump that we heard certainly. Incident was a much softer tone, thats for sure. It was scripted remarks. He said i wrote these. These are from my heart. I think what detroits mayor is saying is that thats that. But we need to hear and see specifics. Do you think donald trump would you advise him to say on his next trip to one of these cities struggling so much, go out and spend the entire day, sit in a roundtable or town hall and ask specifically what is your struggle and specifically what can i do . I think today was a really good start. I heard a donald trump supporter sitting in the church and she said she hopes for a town hall. That will be a great next step. I would contrast to Hillary Clinton. Where is she today . Shes been absent from the trail for quite a few days. The mayor pointed out a number of specifics he has gotten from the Clinton Campaign. I guess what im asking, is it doing enough . I think so. We like to focus on the one line, what do you have to lose . I didnt focus that. We just played minutes. This is an amazing day. Im here to learn. Our political system has failed he focused on jobs and education. Were not just focusing on what do you have to lose. If you listen to his rallies the last two weeks, you will hear many specifics. I have 20 specifics that he has given in the speech. He has given specifics. Hillary clinton, who was asked by chris wallace, what are you going to do differently from obama to elevate the economy. She said she would create more green jobs. Im sorry, thats not for our community. One of the problems with detroit manufacturing jobs have left. It is because of trade deals like tpp which Hillary Clinton hailed as the gold standard. When you look at detroit, the decline of so many jobs in the automotive industry, it is not all because of trade deals. Some certainly is. Theres no question. A lot of it is because of technology and automation. Theres also a question about no matter who is president , those jobs arent going to come back because technological advances have made them unnecessary. Right. Who will be better for bringing back manufacturing jobs, Hillary Clinton or donald trump . Donald trump has made this his message from day one. He talked about moving one of his factories to mexico. He wants to make sure the corporate inversions dont happen, where they move overseas and take advantage of our laws. Who is hurt . People in the inner cities who cant find jobs who are highly qualified but cant find them because they dont exist. As our previous guest said, as you heard, don brown from cleveland, said he has to have a town hall. Is that the next step . I agree with donna. I love what we are seeing. We saw the roundtable where he listened to his africanamerican council, which he has been doing for a long time going back to the primary. I agree the town hall would be a natural next step.
