In a position of power over our lives. We cant let him bankrupt america like we are one of his failed casinos. And trump tells a group of evangelicals this. What you really have to do is you have to pray to get everybody out to vote, one specific person. A big day out on the campaign trail. Lets get right to it. Seenior White House Correspondent jim acosta and executive editor mark preston. I think its an understatement to say its a big day on the campaign trail. This is a day after he fired his Campaign ManagerCorey Lewandowski. Let me put these numbers out. Cnns new poll show Hillary Clinton beating donald trump 47 to 42, not a huge margin. Heres how he responded. Take a listen to this. Ive been brutalized by the press for three weeks, and she has had the best week shes ever had and theres very little difference in the polls. Not the first one that shows him trailing. The controversial remarks catching up, histrionics . Thats the message coming from the campaign, hey, look, you know, weve had a rough few weeks but im only seven points down in the polls or five points down in the polls. You know what, they do kind of have a point, but when donald trump says the press has been beating up on me for last few weeks, i mean, lets just dispense with that for a these are all selfinflicted wounds that donald trump has been dealing with. Not to Trump Supporters. The media hates him. And perhaps they have stopped some of the bleeding yesterday with the firing of Corey Lewandowski. I talked to several trump advisers today, Campaign Sources today, who said, you know what. This is going to sort of open up the floodgates. Weve need to hire communication staff and now we can hire communication staff and this evening the Trump Campaign said weve hired certain people to do highlevel jobs within the campaign. Weve been told these positions were being filled and this was in the works while Corey Lewandowski was in charge. Don, i have to tell you i have not seen a volume of emails coming from this campaign that ive seen today. We have gotten more emails coming from this Campaign Today than ive seen throughout the entire course of this campaign, all offering sort of a prebuttal of this speech from Hillary Clinton earlier today and then responding to her speech acting like, and mark preston knows from covering campaigns, acting like a real president ial campaign so the postcorey effect seems to be up and running. Was corey stopping all of this . So the big talk about inside politics at its best, really like intrigue. This is palace intrigue. You have Corey Lewandowski who really did help donald trump win the republican primary. Anyone who says any different is lying. However, you needed a change at the top, and they had brought in Paul Manafort who is a longtime republican operative to come in and try to develop strategy for a general election and then you had these two gentlemen butting heads. What do they say, proximity is power. Corey lewandowski was always right next to donald trump. Had Donald Trumps ear. Every time i went to trump tower he was there in Trumps Office and was a person who came down and would invite us up or what have you. Let me put up another pull, Quinnipiac University published a three battleground poll, florida, Hillary Clinton tops him 47 and 39 and in pennsylvania by one and in ohio a dead heat. If trump loses florida, can he win in november . No, he cant, and i think the the state poll numbers are almost more important than these National Numbers. Really . Were going to seat National Number fluctuate from time to time but if he cant win florida, ohio and pennsylvania has always been fools gold for republicans. Thats a very difficult state. They think they can put it in play and perhaps his different brand, his different style of voter can put that state in play but if you lose ohio, if you lose florida, its over. You dont win by popular vote. You win by electoral vote. This is the United States. The guy with the most votes doesnt always win. So you think they are realizing actually not a popularity contest. Its not i was fascinated by how close things are in ohio still because ohio is really the key economic battleground in a lot of ways. I mean, ohio is where youve got the rest belt voter, working class white man who hasnt had a real thats a trump supporter. Thats the people that hillary needs to be speaking to and she did frankly a pretty good job today kind of laying out some of the problems in his economic message, but now she needs to in the next stage bring a real inspirational message to some of those people to get them excited about were why should they care about her. You mentioned her message. She hit him on his business acumen today. Take a look at this. Donald trump has said hes qualified to be president because of his business record. A few days ago he said, and i quote, im going to do for the country what i did for my business. So lets take a look at what he did for his business. Hes written a lot of books about business. They all seem to end at chapter 11. And over the years he intentionally ran up huge amounts of debt on his companies and then he defaulted. He bankrupted his companies not once, not twice but four times. Hundreds of people lost their jobs. Shareholders were wiped out. Contractors, many of them small businesses, took heavy losses. Many went bust but donald trump he came out fine. So his Business Success is the centerpiece of his pitch, right, of why he should be president , but do you think people are going to be taking a second look . Is she causing people to take a second look at his business acumen here and how hes run his businesses . I think so. Anybody who says i like to play with debt, im great at debt. I dont think that message resonates at all. It was awkward. The chapter 11 remark was one of the best ones of the speech, and, you know, you look at this guys record. Hes trying to position himself as the antiwall street candidate, right . Hes completely a creature of wall street, highly leveraged real estate deals, bankrupt four times. I think she made some serious points there. One more clip about National Debt. Listen to this. He calls himself the king of debt, and his tax plan sure lives up to that name. According to the independent Tax Policy Center it would increase the National Debt by more than 30 trillion over 20 years. Thats trillion with a t. Request the its much, much more than any nominee of either party has ever proposed. And economists describe it with words like not even in the universe of the realistic, and how would he pay for all this debt . Well, he said, and i quote, i would borrow knowing if the economy crashed you could make a deal. Its like he said you know you make a deal before you go into a poker game. Well, actually its not like that at all. The full faith and credit of the United States is not something we just gamble away. I want to ask you this because youre an economic analyst. Trump did backpedal on defaulting on the debt and the fact that the u. S. Could print more money. Yeah. I mean, is are his economic policies as dangerous as Hillary Clinton is making them out to be . They are pretty dangerous. The analyst shes quoting is a pretty middle of the road person. A lot of people see his plan, what hes released of it, and there hasnt been enough detail as kind of reagonomics on steroids. Youre talking about major tax cuts, a lot accruing to the wealthiest and no real areas of spending cut which means you need to take on more debt to run the government which happened in the reagan era and a weird mix of populism, sort of antitrade rhetoric and the fact is that Global Markets have no idea how he would react in a crisis. Thursdays vote on brexit in the uk will be an interesting moment because if there is a marketmoving event it would seem like a good moment for Hillary Clinton as being a safer pair of hands. As donald trump is heading over to scotland at the end of the week. His new golf course . Another one of his businesses. Lets talk about the debt thing, jim. I have one more question because heres what he tweeted. He has called himself the king of debt and said he loved debt but today after clinton attacked him he responded i am the king of debt. Thats been great for me as a businessman, but it is bad for the country. I made a fortune off the debt. Will fix u. S. Now hes backing away from his embrace of the debt as a businessman. Is that going to hurt him . Theres a couple of things and can i hear the talking points from the white house echoing in my ears. They will say time and again that this president , president obama has cut the deficit, you know, like no president has done before since bill clinton and they feel like the democrats are pretty safe and Hillary Clinton is pretty safe in that regard. Donald trump is trying to make the economy an issue in this campaign, but, don, im not convinced that voters will be voting with their pocketbooks this fall. The Unemployment Rate is going to be under 5 more than likely. I mean, that is a very good economic barometer for the democrats. But wages are still so flat. I think that thats the problem. Thats true. And thats actually where hillary can score some points in her next few speeches because the nature of the labor market has changed. Weve got low employment. We dont have any wage growth because theres service jobs, cheap jobs, not that we had in the 90s. And having sat here and listened to everyones talking point. Thats not the real Unemployment Rate and the real Unemployment Rate is here. And donald trump likes to say that. Whats interesting about the quickiam poll. For Hillary Clinton not to be doing better than donald trump in ohio. Yeah, yeah. You know, big economic bellwether, Big Industrial state and mark remembers from the 2012 campaign, obama versus romney. It all came down to ohio. But, you know, trade is a huge issue in ohio hand that can be a weak point for her because she has to grapple with bill clintons naftor. In our cnn orc poll she does better nationally on trade seeing she got pretty well beat up. She hit him today and hes promising to hit her tomorrow with a big speech. Take us ford. Not something were used to hearing. Put out a website called lyingcrookedhillary. Com. One thing to do it. It is one thing for a political operative to put that out to try to take down a candidate. Another one to have one of the candidates put that the out to try to take down his rival, and thats what were seeing here. Listen, hes going to head over to scotland and tomorrow hes just going to go out and its the same rhetoric over and over again and guess what . His rhetoric is still working. The fact of the matter is if you look at our polling numbers, he is still held higher on the question of honesty and trustworthiness and thats what hell hit her on tomorrow the American Public still think that he is more honest and trustworthy than Hillary Clinton is. Thats her achilles heel. And if he can ratchet up the negatives. This is boiling down to be a barf bag election. Its a competition between who is the least unpopular. Have you heard that before . I think i just made that up. You should trademark that. Thank you very much. So well end it that way. We enjoyed it. Those at home maybe did not but i did. Thanks so much. When we come back, donald trump says hes happy to use his own money in the campaign, but wait until you hear exactly where the money is going. The sunll come out tomorrow. For people with Heart Failure, tomorrow is not a given. But entresto is a medicine that helps make more tomorrows possible. Tomorrow, tomorrow.

Youre only a day away and well have to use like double maybe more im going back to the store . Yes you are. Dish issues . Get cascade platinum. One pac cleans tough food better than 6 pacs of the bargain brand combined. Cascade. Donald trump says hes worth more than 10 billion. He says hes happy to use his own money to pay for his campaign, but where exactly is that money going . Drew griffin does the math for us. Reporter he is famously rich, famously boastful and from the very beginning of this campaign he made sure everyone knew donald trump would be like no other candidate in the race. Because i dont need anybodys money. Its nice. I dont need anybodys money. Im using my own money. Reporter donald trump may be using his own money, but hes also spending a lot of that money on donald trump. In one of the odder twists in an ever odder campaign, the candidate who owns jets, resorts, hotels and Office Buildings is apparently making sure thats the very jet, resorts, hotels and Office Buildings his campaign is using. Nobodys going to be taking care of me. I dont want anybodys money. Reporter newly released federal Election Commission expenditures show donald trump, the candidate, has been spending millions on donald trump the businessman, and its all perfectly legal. Trumps campaign has paid trumps tag air 4. 6 million to use the trump jet, trumps maralago resort has been paid for, 123,000, trump restaurants, 133,000. It goes on and on. Tens of thousands to trump golf courses, thousands to trump hotels, even 3,900 to son eric trumps winery. All together, it adds up to about 6. 3 million, roughly 10 of Trumps Campaign spending is on, well, businesses run, operated or owned by the candidate himself, donald trump. What is true, don, donald trump has selffinanced most of this campaign by loaning his campaign his own money. Now will he eventually end up profiting on his campaign for president . Unless he releases those tax returns way down the road, we may never know. Don . Drew griffin, thanks very much. Here to discuss out all of that,tic think obrien executive editor of Bloomberg View and William Cohen author of price of silence and william miller, Senior Adviser to donald trump. Good evening, gentlemen. Thanks so much for being here. As you just heard, steven, as much as 10 , some say up to 17 of Donald TrumpsCampaign Spending is going back to trump businesses. Is he lending his Campaign Money and then a good portion of what the campaign spends goes back to him, is that right . Hes already said hes not going to repay the loan, but, of course youre going to spend money on your own facilities if youre visiting a place to have a facility. How crazy would it be to go to palm beach, florida for an event and not stay in the hotel that you own. That would be very wasteful because obviously youre going to be able to get a better steel at your own properties. He hasnt filed that with the s. E. C. Saying hell forgive the loan. Doesnt the interview and said he answered the question. He said hes going to do it . He sawed hes not going to going to repay the loans. Why not file with the fec . I believe at some point he will. How much hes lagging behind in fun raising, do you think he can attract more from people if they say money is going back to his campaign 17 . I think its the opposite. The extent to which the campaign has been extraordinarily frugal makes it a more attractive investment for people. If you compare everybody agrees on. In the primary we spent the least amount of money and got the best result and everybody agrees has shown we can have a more efficient campaign operation. If you look at where a lot of money will go in the future. Obviously advertising will be a big chunk of that and another thing were doing differently is putting more scrutiny on people involved in polling and advertising and all aspects of the campaign. Were running a much tighter ship than were used to. Do you look at this as a Frugal Campaign as stephen says and, again, he hasnt filed with the fec that hes going to be giving a loan, he says he is. Look, hes gotten, i dont know what the number s. 2 billion of free advertising, free tv time. I assume that will continue now during the general election and Hillary Clinton will get a lot of that, too. Im not certain that i feel like donald is as good a businessman as he would like us to believe. Theres the four bankruptcies. I dont feel like this campaign, maybe its lean, but when you find that you only have like 1. 5 million in your coffers at this stage of the campaign doesnt exactly inspire confidence and, again, weve said this before on this show. I mean, he claims hes worth 10 billion or 11 billion. We have no idea what hes really worth. He hasnt released his tax returns and hasn
