This young man, much more aggressive. Very interesting. Brian todd, thank you so much for that report. Im brianna keilar. Thank you so much for watching. Erin burnett out front with jim sciutto starts right now. Out front next, trump tells black voters if hes elected president , quote, youre not going to be shocket. Is that a winning message . Bill clinton breaks the silence surrounding the Clinton Foundationdation. The u. S. Guided missile destroyer, all of it caught on tape. Lets go out front. Good evening. Im jim sciutto in tonight for erin burnett and out front tonight, vote for me and youre not going to be shot. Thats the case that donald trump is making tonight to black voters. Trump saying that the democratic party has failed them and that they have nothing to lose by trying someone new. A highlycharged appeal criticized in part because hes delivered it to audiences who are almost exclusively white. Tonight hes speaking in jackson, mississippi. The citys population about 80 black. Earlier today trump at a rally in the crucial swing state of florida hammered home this new message. To those suffering and hurting and the people left behind i say vote for donald trump. Vote for donald trump. What do you have to lose . What do you have to lose . It cannot get any worse, and believe me, im going to fix it. Jim acosta is out front tonight at that trump rally in jackson, mississippi. So, jim, what more can you tell us about trumps message tonight . Reporter jim, we expect donald trump to continue that outreach to minority voters that we heard earlier today in florida. Its an outreach that a Senior Trump Campaign adviser tells me is part of an ongoing conversation. They say they are looking forward, not back, when it comes to that outreach and its a new approach that can be summed up by the candidate that says what do you have to lose . With the polls showing hes in the Single Digits among africanAmerican Voters and trailing badly with other ethnic group, donald trump is trying to hit a multicultural reset button. Youre going to reach out to minority voters. Im doing really great with minority voters. Trump is making the case its the Democratic Party thats taking advantage of minority voters. Ill be able to make sure that when you walk down the street if your inner city or wherever you are youre not going to be shot. Trumps new pitch comes as hes teasing ahead to a new and perhaps softer policy on illegal immigration and it could appeal to not just latinos, but other voting blocs affected by the rhetoric on the issue. Were not looking to hurt people. Even trumps running mate mike pence could not describe what that updated policy will include. Individuals who have committed crimes in this country are going to go and theyre going to go very quickly, to be processed for a Justice System and out of this country, and beyond that, i just think, you know, stay tuned. Still trumps shift in tone is notable as he appears to be testing a new outreach to muslims. Have you even read the United States constitution . Just weeks after his clash with the parents of a fallen muslimamerican soldier, the khan family. Christians, jews, catholics, muslims, everybody, youve got to get out and vote. Reporter at the same time, hes continuing to pound Hillary Clintons use of a private email server as secretary of state. Hillary clinton created an illegal, private email server, deliberately, willfully and with total premeditation. Premeditation. Reporter that sounded like a wink to supporters who have raised bogus questions about clintons health. Even one of trumps own surrogates says both clinton and trump should fully disclose their health records. Youre going to have to have a lot of stamina and the ability to process a lot of information quickly, and we want to make sure that both candidates meet those qualifications. Reporter now one of the other Big Questions is why donald trump is each doing in mississippi, it is a reliably red state that he ought to win come november, but one thing we know about tonight, a Trump Campaign official tells us in addition to hearing from donald trump we will hear from the british politician nigel feraj which is one of the architects of the brexit from the european union. They would like to see a voter revolt here at the polls in the United States and the other being they would like to see the polls be as wrong here in the United States as they were in britain. Jim . Also a joint antiimmigrant message there. Jim accost a thank you very much. Tonights rally comes as clinton in reach of winning two states that went red in the last president ial election. In the crucial swing state of North Carolina, trump and clinton neck and neck there among likely voters. Clinton has a onepoint lead and that is within a margin of error. In arizona, clinton within five points of trump there. Tom foreman, he is out front tonight. Tom, as we were reporting there, donald trump spending a lot of time trying to win over minority voters and do these latest polls give him reason to be optimistic . These latest polls give him reason to keep working hard at it. Lets think about this, if you look at North Carolina out here in the last election, 2012, one in five was africanamerican and that group is tilting heavily to Hillary Clinton and 88 support for her in this poll among africanamericans and trump here almost off the charts at 3 , and even the libertarian candidate, gary johnson is doubling his performance in that state. So thats a real challenge for him there. What if you move out to the next place, arizona out there which is normally a red state, as you noted and there if you look at latinos which is a big voting bloc out there, again, 57 going for clinton. Trump, less than half that amount at 20 down here. His pitch to minorities around the country really is to say, look, im an economy guy, and i will bring jobs and i will bring opportunity and i will lift all boats with the rising tide of a great economy out here and in the two states were talking about many voters in the general population believe that, but the minority population does not. They believe Hillary Clinton can handle the economy better, too. Jim . Tom, theres been consistency in many polls that those with more education tended to lean clinton. Those with less, lean trump. Do these latest polls tell us more about that . They give us more details on that. Look at this. Among College Grads they tilt toward Hillary Clinton, 55 toward 36 among white nonCollege Grads, he absolutely crushes her here in North Carolina and if we go over here to nevada, same thing. College grads, you have a little lead here. White, nonCollege Grads. Hes way, way out front of her and these are some of the biggest gaps on education weve ever seen in our polling, jim . Tom foreman in washington. Out front now and executive director of the new york state Democratic Party basil smikle and hes a Hillary Clintonsupporter and jeffrey lord is a donald trump supporter and the former director of black outreach for george w. Bush paris denard and a member of the coalition for donald trump and Hillary Clinton supporter nir r tanden. If you look at that poll of North Carolina, trump at 3 among africanAmerican Voters behind even gary johnson and basically within the margin of error. What evidence does he have that he can win over a significant number of black voters with this message . Think the message is working. Look, before the convention we saw polls that showed him at 0 and then a couple of days ago we saw polls that put him at 1 or 2 and now 3 . Ive seen polls that show 6 to 14 . What i see is increase. What i see is momentum. Ronald excuse me, governor mitt romney got 6 of the vote and that was in november. We have a lot of time and a lot of ground to make up and were going to do it. The message thats connecting with the voters each time he speaks to the black community his polls numbers rise. It will continue to rise. Basil, i saw you shaking your head. Listen, Donald Trumps outreach to me is ugly and its abhorrent because as you alluded to earlier, hes had largely white supporters. Perhaps in an effort to assuage their concerns about whether or not hes doing enough to outreach to minority communities, hes doing hes behaving in the way that he is, but my problem with that is that hes throwing up every racial stereotype that he can muster in speaking about communities of color and there are a couple of other problems. One, hes doing it largely in absentia without going to those communities and without asking for those voters for their support. Number two, one of the concerns i have in every major approximately see area where blacks have been discriminated against, instead of finding ways to create stronger ground between sort of government and the Business Community and Africanamerican Community hes exacerbated those problems in much of his career, and if you look at Hillary Clinton shes got a significant record on racial, economic and social justice. So i dont think africanamericans should be fooled by Donald Trumps overtures. Jeffrey lord, lets remind our viewers of some of the things that trump has said that have not sat well to say the least with africanAmerican Voters so far in the campaign. Have a quick listen. Maybe he should have been roughed up because it was absolutely disgusting what he was doing. Will you unequivocally condemn david duke and say that you dont want his vote or that of other White Supremacists in this election . Well, just so you could, i dont know anything about david duke, okay . I dont know anything about what youre even talking about with White Supremacy and White Supremacists. Look at my africanamerican over here. Look at him. Are you the greatest . Do you know what im talking about . Jeffrey lord, you hear those statements, why should black voters believe that donald trump is sincere now . Well, number one, let me just set the record straight if i can about the record of the Democratic Party. This is something i wrote eight years ago for the wall street journal. They had six platforms that supported slavery. Over 20 that supported session greg asian regagz, and the Democratic Party wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. They just had a convention. They couldnt even bring themselves to apologize for slavery. This is a party with horrendous what are you talking about . Did they apologize for slavery . Did they apologize for slavery . Dont you think so . Sure, but the fact of the matter is but the fact no, thats a ridiculous that is a ridiculous argument no. The ridiculous argument, but what has the Democratic Partydone for africanamericans . We elected the first black president and the first mayor of new york. Someone that wasnt even raised here. Come on. Its soared in the obama era. The question this is a point about i hear your point about the Democratic Party and their record, but the question you did not answer is how do black voters hear the many messages from donald trump over the previous months and then reconcile that with this current outreach. What they are hearing from donald trump, and i think Kellyanne Conway will be helping because she worked for my old boss jack kemp whose book i hold in my hand, and he advocated a direct approach to go right into the heart of the community and talk economics, to talk jobs. Right. Thats what we have to do and thats what donald trump is going to do. Thats what hes all about here. Very quickly. Donald trump is no jack kemp. I actually i actually i have followed jack kemp in his career. He was actually a reasonable individual. Donald trump is no jack kemp. Hes championing the message of jack kemp and thats whats important. Thats right. I remember coming out of the hud building one day and there were democrats out there protesting that jack kemp was a racist and it was just bizarre and a terrible thing to say. I see you there, and i know you want to comment. What do you have to say . Its hard to know where to start with jeffrey lord. Donald trump started off his career attacking five innocent africanamericans in central park five, he took ads out in that and that was 20 years ago. Are we not talking about super are we going to talk about the crime bill. How most americans know donald trump is through his attacks on the first africanamerican president. His attacks on his birth status. His vicious assaults. They know him as a successful businessman. And in this campaign hes attacked the civil rights discussion on policing and other issues, attacking people who have raised these issues. So the reality is that Africanamerican Community recognizes his that for 13 months hes been attacking civil rights heroes. Hes been attacking the president and three months ahead of the election when he knows hes going to lose and lose badly all of a sudden he wants to do fake outreach, and i think its actually an insult to the intelligence of africanamericans and the broader public who know his positions and have heard him over the last several years several months talk about really attacking several issues that africanamericans are concerned about. Just in the last few weeks hes been talking about vote rigging and limiting the Voting Rights of africanamericans and others instead of expanding them. The dnc knows a lot about vote rigging when you look at what they did to bernie sanders. Sure. Lets talk about voting for everyone. If you care about Voting Rights for everyone, then lets have him talk about stopping these Voting Rights assaults in the courts right now. He could do that right now. Jeffrey and paris, i know you have more to contribute. The luxury of more time after this break. Out front tonight, donald trump says shut down the Clinton Foundation. Tonight bill clinton fights back. Plus, clinton linking trump to a group called the altright. What exactly is it . We have a special report ahead. Breaking news, a highspeed, highstakes confrontation at sea and Iranian Naval ships closing in on a u. S. Guided missile destroyer plus, as well, italys deadly earthquakes and rescue workers race against time to find survivors as the death toll is rising there. We will be live in italy. With my moderate to severe ulcerative colitis, the possibility of a flare was almost always on my mind. Thinking about what to avoid, where to go. And how to deal with my uc. To me, that was normal. Until i talked to my doctor. She told me that humira helps people like me get uc under control and keep it under control when certain medications havent worked well enough. Humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. Serious, sometimes fatal infections and cancers, including lymphoma, have happened; as have blood, liver, and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure. Before treatment, get tested for tb. Tell your doctor if youve been to areas where certain fungal infections are common, and if youve had tb, hepatitis b, are prone to infections, or have flulike symptoms or sores. Dont start humira if you have an infection. Raise your expectations. Ask your gastroenterologist about humira. With humira, control is possible. All providers. Getters. Drive with uber and make more than 300 a week by driving a few hours a day. Calling all ninetofivers and night owls. With uber a little drive goes a long way. Start earning this week. Go to uber.

Bill clinton fighting back. Tonight, he is responding to Donald Trumps allegations that Hillary Clinton sold access to the state department through the Clinton Foundation. Were trying to do good things. If there is something wrong with creating jobs and saving lives, i dont know what it is. The people who gave the money knew exactly what they were doing, and i have nothing to say about it except im really proud. Im proud of what theyve done. This is part of the Clinton Campaigns effort to push, to fight back against allegations of pay for play. Our Phil Mattingly is out front. Tonight, Hillary Clintons campaign is firing back as pressure grows overpay to play allegations at the Clinton Foundation. I dont think its a fair portrait and its a misrepresentation of the data. The campaign is attacking the Associa Assoc
