Job apologize. Youll hear her response to that and other comments he made about the Democratic Frontrunner tonight. We want to begin with the day in trump. Hillary clinton was not the only object of trumps wrath tonight, though she was the recipient of some pretty offcolor attacks. Well get to that in a moment. He also had some choice words for reporters in the office talking about his new fan, Vladimir Putin of russia. No, no, think of it. Its russia, after all. Somebody says, are you at all offended that he said nice things about you . I said no, no. And she said, oh, trump should have been much nastier. Thats terrible. And then they said, you know, hes killed reporters. And i dont like that. By the way, i hate some of these people, but i would never kill them. I hate them. No, these people, honestly ill be honest. Ill be honest. I would never kill them. I would never do that. Lets see. No, i wouldnt. I would never kill them. But i do hate them. And some of them are such lying, disgusting people. Its true. All right. Lets discuss all of this now. Bob beckel, author of i should be dead, katrina pearson, the National Spokesperson for Trumps Campaign and republican strategist rick wilson. I think this is going to get our monday off to a bank, so to speak. Donald trump was pretty bombastic tonight even though he was campaigning behind a Merry Christmas trump podium. How does this heading into this Holiday Season . Its the first time weve had a 12yearold boy who has learned some dirty words and transgressive running for president. The guy is obviously playing this crowd dynamic that the more bombastic and more lunatic he sounds, the more they enjoy it. And the fact of the matter is, this is a guy who is a great showman and hes having a ball doing this. But, you know, to the 75 of the republicans who look had at this and think, dear god, how is this guy ahead . Theyre mortified by the fact that its not president ial and that he is a guy who, you know, takes the first thing in his mind and it comes out. The guy is verbally incontinent. Weve had this before. But he has no filter and he has no break and at some point, you want to be somebody who is not just saying whatever the hell you want to say off the top of your head. But, you know, hes a like i said, hes basically a 12yearold boy running for president right now. Katrina, rick is, im sure, referring to this at the moment where saturday nights debate where Hillary Clinton didnt make it back to break after a commercial break. I know where she went. Its disgusting. I dont want to talk about it. No, its too disgusting. Dont say it. We want to be very, very straight up, okay . But i thought that was wasnt that a weird dole . Were ready to start. They give her every benefit of the doubt because, you know, its abc and she practically owns abc. She really does. So, katrina, why even Say Something like that . To ricks point, shouldnt he have some sort of filter when it comes to that thing . Youre talking about someone going to the rest room. I think ive said this before. Mr. Trump is with his supporters. He is with them as he is oneonone. When theyre meeting with mr. Trump and hes at these rallies, hes talking to them like hes sitting across from the Kitchen Table. Lets compare that to the republican establishment, the republicans that dont stand up for themselves, that capitulate every time a democrat says boo. There is a reason donald trump has been winning this election cycle. Its because hes not the establishment that katrina, lets get back to the comment. Stand by. I dont know in this in this and im going to ask you, do you guys talk that way at the Kitchen Table . My mom would smack the you know what out of me. Or if i was on a date, i would nobody is going to admit it, don. Well, do you . Weve had some pretty intense conversations at my house, so yeah. Okay. Okay. So this one, here is another one. He also said that she got, quote, schlonged by obama in 2008. Lets listen to this. Let me just tell you. I may win, i may not win. Hillary, thats not a president. Shes not taking us everything thats been involved in hillary has been loss. Even a race to obama, she was going to beat obama. I dont know who would be worse. I dont know. How does it get worse . But she was going to beat she was favored to win and she got schlonged. She lost. But i watched her the other night. It was hard because there were a lot of things on better and including reading books and reading financial papers, which i actually enjoy reading. Katrina, was that off the the cuff . Because schlonged usually means something else. I think he was meaning slug around, slung to the ground. Oh, no, he does not, katrina. Why dont you tell me what schlong means. Katrina, Donald Trumps use of the word schlonged is once again proof that hes a 12yearold boy. Hes a man child disguised as a candidate. A man child thats beating all of your candidates. A comic routine. I know, katrina, youre uncomfortable with the fact that you guys are playing defense on this today, but here is the thing. I know youre probably happening talking about this than you are talking about the use of the Nuclear Weapons and a tactical i would love to talk about that, actually. Can we talk about that . Would you like to talk about the use of Nuclear Weapons and the policy lisp, guys, i control where the conversation goes here, so lets hang on a bit. Well talk about Nuclear Weapons when were ready to talk about it. Right now, i want to discuss the comments made. Bob, here is the interesting thing. Youre sitting back with your arms crossed sitting here saying, well, is that what democrats are doing . Here we go, Hillary Clinton saying we dont have to say anything, let them fight amongst themselves. This breaks my heart. Im going to have to pick up the broken pieces of my heart and move on watching the republicans beat up on themselves. Here is the reality of the situation. Weve got about five weeks till iowa. Trumps support in iowa and i was out there for three days hes got a lot of support, but there are people that dont normally go to caucuses and two web doesnt have an organization. He says he does, his people says he does and the fact of the matter is he doesnt. There are almost 1900 precincts out there. Cruz does and cruzs support is rock solid. I think there may be a surprise in store for him. Now, maybe there will be people that dont normally go to caucuses that will go out and sit there and wait to cast their votes. But my experience, and ive been out there six different president ial campaigns, ive never seen anything like it. Maybe he can pull the it out, but i doubt it. Katrina, lets talk about that. Im sure you read the New York Times report about donald trump not having the ground game in iowa, that he needs to get it together. It says mr. Trumps iowa predicted he would recruit a leader for each of the states 1600 presipths by november 1st. But instead, each precinct drew about 80 people with about 50 participating online. So is katrina, what does this say . Do you think that the Trump Campaign can get it together in eye with . And whats going on there . Oh, absolutely. There is a precinct capitalan in all 99 precincts. And bob is right, there are a lot of new caucus goers that will be showing up for mr. Trump specifically. Im not going to use the New York Times as our source of intel, but there is a campaign in iowa and it is very strong. Rick, for people who dont know really how important this is, i was an idea about having precinct leaders in iowa. Ill give you a shot. First of all, there are 99 counties in iowa. There are almost 1700, i guess, presipths, which and if you dont have somebody who is in charge of that precinct, who is going to be there when these voters show up, who is going to organize people to get them there, this is not like a primary where the polls are open from 7 00 in the morning until 8 00 at night. This is going at a particular hour at a particular time and you get in there and you take your vote. If youre not using to doing that and you dont have a history of being a caucus goer, that makes it more difficult to get in there. Now, maybe the trump organization, i missed it when i was out there. I had a lot of experience and i couldnt find it. Maybe in the next five weeks, youll be able to put it together. Thats what were talking about here. 1700 caucus rick, not so fast. Bloomberg news followed up with more than 100 people attending a trump event weekend and found half of them have caucused before, figuring if theyve caucused before, theyre more than likely to do it again. Does that mean, do you think, donald trump can pull this off . Well, i still think donald Trumps Campaign is primarily driven by earned media. We havent seen in the Campaign Finance reports a lot of indicators or signals that theyre investing the money on the ground in iowa. So like i said, its sort of a black box at the moment as to whether or not theres Something Real there or whether or not this is another earned media stunt by the Trump Campaign thats not backed up by the actual boots on the ground. By all the reports ive heard from folks i know in iowa, they feel like the Cruz Organization is really working very hard on the ground and has a pretty deep bench of folks in the 99 counties and in the precincts. But i dont think youve seen 2 same sort of commitment in the counties from the trump folks, anecdotally or otherwise that indicates a real depth of organization there and youre not seeing it in the Campaign Finance reports, either, of them investing the actual time and money there. I want all of you to stick around, why donald trump is saying Hillary Clinton owes him an apology. Plus, exploiting the anger felt by many Blue Collar Workers. Also ahead, international embarrassment, the wrong contestant is crowned Miss Universe 2015 on Live Television.

Its what makes a subaru, a subaru. President become becoming not holding back on trump. The gop and isis, steve joins me now as npr correspondent and host of morning edition. Hello, steve. How are you . Its great to be here, don. Thanks. Thanks for coming on. You had a wide interview with president obama. He believes donald trump is exploiting Blue Collar Workers. Blue collar men have had a lot of trouble in this new economy where theyre no longer getting the same bargain they got when they were going to a factory and able to support their families on a single paycheck. You combine those things and it means that there is going to be a potential anger, frustration, fear. Some of it justified, but just misdirected. A and, you know, i thin somebody like mr. Trump is taking advantage of that. I mean, thats what hes exploiting during the course of his campaign. Steve, your question that prompted that response was not about donald trump. Were you surprised to hear the president take it there . I didnt really want to push him in that direction. The i wanted him to talk in his own terms about what he thought was happening in america. And that in some ways i may represent change that worries them. Is that the base hes talking about . I talk to a lot of people who like trump for a lot of different reasons. There are people who like trump for a lot of different reasons. Its clearly part of what the president men. Theres some support in polls. If the president refers to blue collar men, for example, there are surveys suggesting trump gets more support among noncollege educated men than other voter groups. So there is some kind of overlap there. We could argue whether theyre the exact same people. We could certainly argue about weather trumps support is all about race. And i dont think the president was arguing that trumps support is all about race, but he does argue that there are people, specifically his words, that are whipping up sentiments against him on issues about his religion, for example, or his purported religion or about his birth certificate, and it was his statement that this is about race. This is something he spoke about very carefully if hes been willing to speak about it all over the years, don. Its something that he clearly knows will trigger a reaction if he raises it at all. And even in this case, either because hes being cautious or because hes thinking about the dignity of his office, he didnt say people hate me because theyre racist. He was talking about my unique demographic i believe is one of the terms he used to refer to the fact that hes an africanamerican. Lets talk about security now and about foreign policy. He also asked the president about his isis strategy and he said its important for americans to, quote, keep things in perspective. He also talk a swipe at us, the news media. Watch this. What is the bub missing about your strategy . And i say that simply because according to polls, you dont have very much approval of it. I think that whats fair is post paris, you had a saturation of nugs about the horrible attack there. And, you know, isil combines viciousness with very savvy media operations. And as a consequence, if youve been watching television for the last month, all youve been seeing, all often hearing about is these guys with masks or black flags who were potentially coming to get you. So people will say that usually blaming the media, it has happened happens a lot, the liberal media on the conservative side, but this is a democrat and a liberal. He says the Media Coverage is raising public fears. What do you think about that . Well, lets remember what hes saying is the media are overcovering a story, covering it too much. And were on cnn, don, so we know this happens from time to time. It happens on np r from time to time. Some time passes and you realize its not so important. So its not an outlandish idea hes putting out there. Where he can be criticized is by saying the media are covering the story in the wrong way and by saying that i, the president of the United States have not done good enough job in explaining my side, he is side stepping substantive issues about his policy and whether its working. I have a strategy, my strategy is going to work. I can tell the public doesnt buy it at this time, but thats because of a failure to explain it quite well enough and thats what i want to do a little better. In fairness also to the president , i want to say hes trying to make a complicated point. He is arguing this is a dangerous threat, but that there are many, many threats that the world faces and that the United States faces and you dont want to miss Everything Else because youre emphasizing that one thing a little much. He also spoke about Political Correctness and well talk about that a little later on this broadcast. Thank you been. Anytime don lemon asks, i have to come. Thank you very much. Merry christmas to you. Up next, is donald trump exploiting the electorate or channeling a public feeling left behind by their leaders . It depends on who you talk to.

Zero due at signing, zero down, zero deposit, and zero first months payment on a new jetta and other select models. Donald trump goes on an attack tonight against Hillary Clinton. Back with me, bob, katrina and rick. Katrina, i want your raengz to what the president told steve about donald trump exploiting the anger of Blue Collar Workers. What did you think when you hear that . I thought that was rich considering the president pretty much sectioned off everyone and placated to their victimhood and now hes placating the victim himself. We have this president who actually argued to issue drone strikes on u. S. Citizens on oouz soil without due process, not to mention the irs targeting, all the things he promised he couldnt deliver and guess what . Your Health Care Premiums did go up. If american res afraid, it is not because of donald trump. Rick, youre no fan of donald trump. Where do you stand on this . Well, look, the president has always been a product more of the most elite segment of society than he would like to admit. And, you know, hes a guy who came through elite prep schools and was t
