Now it is about policy choices. Vice President Joe Biden taking on that accusation. He and calderon made their own new case for what trump could mean for National Security. We have every angle covered for you. Lets begin with athena jones live in washington with more. Good morning, athena. Good morning, chris. The often unscripted donald trump was on message yesterday talking about what he would do to defeat terrorism. He made a turn in the speech after repeatedly questioning the value of the nato alliance. He is now vowing to work with the u. S. Nato partners in this fight against terrorism. Clinton raising questions about his temperament, he is raising questions about her judgment and fitness for office. I call it is extreme, extreme vetting. Reporter donald trump delivering a fiery speech on his ideas for fighting radical islamic terrorism. Proposing a different kind of Admission Test for people entering the United States. In addition to screening out all members of the sympathizers of terrorist groups, we must also screen out any who have hostile attitudes toward our country or its principles, or who believe that sharia law should supplant american law. Those who do not believe in our constitution or who support bigotry and hatred will not be admitted for immigration into our country. Reporter trump calling for bans on immigration from countries with ties to terror. We will have to temporarily suspend immigration from some of the most dangerous and volatile regions of the world that have a history of exporting terrorism. Reporter and simultaneously trashing Hillary Clintons capabilities. With one episode of bad judgment after another, Hillary Clinton launched isis on to the stage. She also lacks the mental and physical stamina to take on isis. Reporter the democratic trifecta, president obama, Vice President biden and president ial candidate Hillary Clinton hitting trump on all fronts. At a dnc Fund Raising Event monday night, president obama refusing to mention trump by name but quipping i dont have to make the case against her opponent because every time he talks he makes the case against his own candidacy. Calderon and biden together in bidens hometown of scranton launching their preemptive attack. Friends should not let friends vote for trump. This guy doesnt care about the middle class, and i dont blame him in a sense because he doesnt understand it. He doesnt have a clue. This man is totally thoroughly unqualified to be president of the United States of america. Reporter biden slamming trump as a threat to National Security. Theres a guy that follows me
right back here, has the nuclear codes. So god forbid anything happen to the president and i had to make a decision, the codes are with me. He is not qualified to know the code. He cant be trusted. Trump holds a rally in a town hall in wisconsin today while calderon spends another day in pennsylvania attending a Voter Registration event in philadelphia. Meanwhile, in a sign of confidence, priorities usa, the super pac supporting clinton now says its not going to air any local ads in virginia, colorado or pennsylvania through most of september. The 2nd through the 20th, saying in a statement we know at the moment these are tough states for donald trump and there isnt as much of a need for us to air ads there. Chris . Alisyn. Thank you very much athena. Lot to discuss. Lets do it. Cnn analyst jackie kucinich. Cnnmanu raju. And clarissa ward. Jackie, in terms of what trump needed to do here, meat on the bones. Do you think he did enough to distinguish himself from one liners in policy . This was definitely a more policylaiden speech than other trump speeches then again other trump speeches. I dont know if there was a lot of meat on the bones. There were a lot of ideas but he didnt fill them out at all. It seems like another speech to Trump Supporters. I dont know this expanded his reach with other voters, particularly that line about the extreme test for immigrants. That isnt targeted to broadening the republican base. Thats directed solely to the folks who already support donald trump. Help us understand what the process is. Is donald trump right that there could be better vetting of refugees or do they already have what they consider extreme vetting in terms of painstaking process . How does it work . Well, i think the u. S. Is very well known for having one of the most stringent vetting processes that there is. As a result, the u. S. Has only taken 8,000 Syrian Refugees as compared to the more than 800,000 that germany alone has taken. So, the idea that you would have some kind of a questionnaire really just beggars belief, to me, alisyn, if im an isis operative, im not going to fill in a questionnaire saying i hate america. I want to hurt americans, and implement sharia law. So im not exactly sure how this questionnaire or this vetting process would work, but suffice it to say that isis operatives are at least sophisticated enough, i would think, to be able to handle that kind of questioning fairly adeptly. And that is the entire problem. He talked very broadly about we must just ban recruitment, stop recruitment. Well, that sounds like a great idea. How do we do it . His suggestion was to shut down the internet in certain parts of the world. I dont think its logistically feasible. Beyond that, i would venture to say that our Security Services glean a lot of their intelligence from information that they gather online. So, as you just heard from jackie, a mishmash of ideas coming through, but none of them really seeming clearly to me to make the case for better security. Clarissa, as you reported to us many times, the irony here is that the vetting for refugees from places like syria is the most exhaustive. As another layer of u. N. Vetting as well than typically entry into the u. S. Manu, how about the political score here . It was clear intention by donald trump to put a lot of blame for the current status of whats going on in iran and iraq specifically with isis on obama. How effective . Well, i think thats an open question. I mean, clearly part of this, too, chris, was a design to show that donald trump has the
experience and temperament to lead this country. Remember, not only are polls showing that Hillary Clinton is viewed as someone who could be a commander in chief, not donald trump. Increasingly so donald trump question and Approval Rating is slipping on that specific issue. But also the Foreign Policy establishment, 50 Republican NationalSecurity Officials coming out last week saying that donald trump cannot lead this country in a time of pearl louse world. Time of so many National Security issues. Donald trump trying to reverse that. That is really the open question here. How much did he bring on not just reach out to those independents, convince folks that obama and calderon are to blame here, but also to convince his own party whether or not they could get behind him. Yesterday it was interesting, chris and alisyn, we did not hear a lot from the republican Foreign Policy establishment from members of congress. There was a deafening silence from a lot of members of his own party. It really just shows the
challenge that donald trump has in selling folks on a lot of those ideas. Particularly on that issue of vetting the extreme vetting of immigrants coming to this country. It does not sound like the muslim travel ban, but in a lot of ways its a lot broader than the muslim travel ban. Thats what gives a lot of those folks in the republican Foreign Policy establishment and members of congress a lot of pause. So lot of questions about whether or not he was able to bring on his own party and reach out to some of those independents. Well, we heard from joe biden yesterday. He made the case again as Hillary Clinton has that donald trump should not have his sort of finger on the button. And joe biden also talked about a guy who follows him around. So lets listen one more time to what joe biden said. Theres a guy that follows me, right back here, as the nuclear codes. So god forbid anything happened to the president i had to make a decision, the codes are with me. He is not qualified to know the code. He cant be trusted. I was proud my son beau served for a year in iraq. Came back a highly decorated soldier. I must tell you i must tell you, had donald trump been president i would have thrown my body in front of him. What did you think of the effectiveness of bidens speech . Not only is joe biden sort of not so secret weapon for Hillary Clinton when it comes to blue collar workers, he has a wealth of Foreign Policy as well as being Vice President for almost eight years and in the senate. He was very effective particularly to the audience he was speaking to. I would not be surprised to see joe biden in several rust states and midwest. He was one of the only speakers solely dedicated to speaking to the blue collar vote that has so far been resistant to Hillary Clinton. So we have clinton now with biden making the case that trump
cannot keep you safe. Trump and his supporters cases that clinton and obama have not kept you safe. Rudy giuliani came out very strong on this, drawing controversy because of some context that he provided in his statement. Here it is. Remember, we didnt start this war. They did. We dont want this war. They do. Under those eight years before obama came along, we didnt have any successful radical islamic terrorist attack in the United States. They all started when clinton and obama got into office. Now, clarissa, the obvious problem is that Rudy Giuliani knows better than most the question about 9 11. The question is why doesnt he include that in his analysis of all of this and the idea that this all started under obamas watch. What do you make of it . Well, first of all, lets be
clear. Isis actually began in a military prison camp run but the u. S. In iraq. That is where the al qaeda zel lots for the first time were being held in the same corridors. You had this toxic brew that was made between ideological zel lots and people who knew something about state running. It happened in camp bu ka before president obama and secretary clinton entered on the scene. You heard in trumps speech yesterday that he is trying to lay blame for the entire arab spring at the feet of obama and clinton. The arab spring was the result of decades and decades of political repression in that region. This is not something that america single handedly somehow cultivated. And the other thing that we heard coming from trump was that we should be, in fact, cooperating more with these
brutal dictators. In fact, he seemed nostalgic to the hay day of the middle eastern dictators. I think he also upheld syria and libya. These are the classic examples of the failure of the obama administrations policies. Theyre very different. In libya, you had an intervention and disastrous consequences. Syria, you had no intervention with even more disastrous consequences. Syria, by the way, is where isis has really taken on a whole new life. Panel, stick around. We have much more to talk to you about. But first, we want to get to some good news because the Olympic Games, theres been many dramatic finishes and here is another one. This was the womens 400 meter sprint. And the bohemian, Shaunae Miller dove for the finish line edging out Allyson Felix. Coy wire is live in rio with

Great britain in third with 41 but the thing everyone is talk about, Allyson Felix and Shaunae Miller the baja mama ma with the finish line dra match running sensation Allyson Felix setting out for gold the favorite to win the 400 meter final. In the home stretch, Shaunae Miller diving across the finish line, denying felix taking home the silver, allyson becomes the most decorated u. S. Women in
track and field history. God has been so good to get me this far. Its been a fight all season. I just gave it all i had tonight. It will be tough. Just try to pick myself up. All eyes were on simone biles in the beam finals. In a crowd shocking moment she loses her balance, touching the beam. A deduction that cost her the gold. Laurie hernandez delivering a nearly perfect routine, landing the silver. The netherlands, unexpectedly taking home the gold. Meanwhile, Michael Phelps soaking in the rest of his time here in rio, reflecting on what he has said are his fifth and final Olympic Games. Whats been the most impactful memory from these games thus far . Having my son here is the best. Being able to share this moment with him in my last olympics. Im looking forward to sharing these memories when he gets old enough. In a couple years hopefully ill get a chance to take him to tokyo and watch some events over
there. Reporter greatest olympian of all time, Michael Phelps set to retire again after his fifth and final Olympic Games.

The olympics are great, but
