They will go out. They will come back. Some will come back, the best, through a process. They have to come back legally. Reporter trumps hard line stance a signature issue of his campaign since the beginning. Now his new Campaign Manager indicating that policy is not set in stone. Let me play something from what mr. Trump has said previously. Listen to what he said back in november. Were going to have a Deportation Force. Youre going to do it ripped ou how . If they came from a certain country, theyre going to go back. Will that plan include a Deportation Force, the kind you just heard about in that sound bite and that he talked about during the republican primaries . To be determined. Reporter key trump surrogate senator Jeff Sessions confirming that trump is wrestling with the issue after a meeting with hispanic advisers on sunday ahead of a big policy speech later this week. He listened to a lot of people. I dont think he made any commitments. Hes thinking that through. I think thats the right thing. This potential shift coming as trump attempts to broaden his appeal among africanamerican voters. Ive asked the Africanamerican Community to honor me with their vote. Youre living in poverty. Your schools are no good. You have no jobs. 58 of your youth is unemployed. What the hell do you have to lose . Reporter polls show hes way behind in the key voting bloc. Theyre bringing drugs, theyre bringing crime, theyre rapists. Look at my africanamerican over here. This judge is of mexican heritage. Im building a wall, okay. Reporter trumps now more muted, scripted style reserved for policy, not for his opponent, Hillary Clinton. She will never be a i believe to fix the isis problem that her policies created. For one thing, she doesnt have the strength or the stamina. Reporter all this as trump and his surrogates continue to raise unsubstantiated questions about Hillary Clintons health. Go online, type in Hillary Clinton illness, and look for yourself. Reporter sources tell cnn a top strategist will be doing some work each week out of trump headquarters. This is an Important Note considering the Broader Campaign shakeup we saw last week. Sunlen, thanks so much for all of that reporting. Lets bring in our Political Panel to discuss it. Cnn political analyst, alex burns. Washington post political reporter, philip bump. And reporter for the daily beast, jackie kucinich. For a year, donald trump has been saying he will deport every single undocumented immigrant. And just to remind ourselves how strongly and vociferously he said that, watch this compilation. Were rounding them up in a very humane way and nice way. Theyre going to be happy because they want to be legalized. By the way, i know it doesnt sound nice, but not everything is nice. Theyre going back where they came. If they came from a certain country, theyre going to be brought back to that country. Thats the way its supposed to be. Now, they can come back, but they have to come back legally. They will go out, they will come back, some will come back, the best, through a process. They have to come back legally. Alex, this was one of the tenants of his campaign. How can he change his tune . I dont know if he can. Its standard for republicans running for president to run to the right during the primary and try to moderate their tone during the general election. We saw mitt romney do it. Its really, really tough to adjust course on something that has been essentially the foundational issue of your entire candidacy. When your pledge is not just some sort of broad brush argument about we need to be tougher, but when youve said really specific things like were building a wall, mexico is going to pay for it, were going to deport these people, its very, very tough to get away from all that. You know, and its not like, phil, that hes appealing to the hispanic vote here. Donald trump, i think, knows theres a ceiling there at some point. But he could be trying to appeal to whom here exactly. Is this the College Educated white voters where hes been underperforming . Yeah, i think thats probably the safest bet. The reason hes trailing in the polls is because republicans are softer on his candidacy that democrats are on Hillary Clintons. He needs to be able to convince those more moderate republicans that hes an acceptable candidate for president. One way to do that, we saw him over the weekend talk about reaching out to the black community. I think this may be, if he ends up moderating it, which we dont know if hes going to, i think it is an appeal to that core group of republicans who right now are kind of iffy on him as a canada t candidate. Jackie, it does sound like hes trying to win over some hispanics. We got information he was softening his rhetoric and saying, well, we might not be deporting everybody. Then this thursday, i believe, he has a speech hes scheduled to do in colorado on hiS Immigration policy. So what is the strategy here in terms of who hes trying to win over versus who he might alienate . It wouldnt be the first time that donald trump has said one thing behind closed doors and said Something Else out in the open, in public. So there seems to be a lot of confusion coming out of this meeting about what he said in terms of whether he said there might be some wiggle room in terms of the Deportation Force. You had some of the leaders coming out saying that. Then you had a trump spokesman say that nothing has changed and absolutely everything is on track for what he said. Then you add Kellyanne Conway in these interviews yesterday saying its to be determined. It sounds like that speech on thursday is still coming together. Well have to wait and see where they end up after all of these sort of back and forth in the press. You know, also, its interesting. I remember the primaries. They werent that long ago. This is exactly what some of the people running against donald trump said he would do. They said he doesnt have any convictions, hes not a traditional republican in that sense. He doesnt believe what we believe. Hes going to flipflop on everything. Here on his main issue, it appears even on this he may not have the courage of his conviction. When you look at his actual immigration policies, its not like he has put out some really extensive plan that he talks about in detail and has defended on the substantive merits. He has a couple bullet points he talks about. And he has build the wall and get mexico to pay for it. Outside of that, hes not Jeff Sessions, who could give a 45minute speech on the mechanics of immigration policy. This is what has bothered a lot of republicans, a lot of very conservative republicans are, about trump from the start. Its a guy who believes in everything and nothing at the same time. Hell tell you what you want to hear. I do think that on the wall, on mass deportation, those are maybe partial exceptions. These are issues where he hash totally unequivocal for the entire duration of his candidacy. If that changes now, thats a giant shift in the campaign and one that may actually, i think, have more potential to alienate his core supporters than to win over the folks who currently dont like him. Phil, lets talk about what he said on friday night. What he said was an appeal to black voters. So let me just play for you his language friday night. What do you have to lose . Look, what do you have to lose . Youre living in poverty. Your schools are no good. You have no jobs. 58 of your youth is unemployed. What the hell do you have to lose . Howd that go over, phil . Well, well see how it went over. You know, i think the pitch he made, that 58 number, is just flatly not correct. 58 of africanamerican youth is not unemployed. It is a much lower number. The bureau of statistics says its 14. 5 . Hes counting things Like High School and college students. His core appeal was, what do you have to lose, all these things are going wrong, youre all living in poverty, youre all living in inner cities, which also is not true. Its not the case most africanamericans live in poverty. He talked about the black community in a way i find it hard to believe the black community is going to find particularly appealing. Again, i suspect this was, in part, trying to give republicans space who are soft on him and say, oh, look, hes making overtures to the Hispanic Community. Well see in the polling. Jackie, i want to ask you one thing about the Clinton Campaign, about colin powell, whos not running for president. He was caught up with over the weekend. He was asked about Hillary Clintons contention, which we learned about last week. She claims it was colin powell who told her to use the private email server. He said it happened at a party with madeline albright. This is what he said at a fundraiser. He said, her people have been trying to pin it on me. The truth is, she was using the private email server for a year before i sent her a memo telling her what i did. I thought it was interesting that colin powell, going out of his way, to create distance with Hillary Clinton. I know a lot of people have been wondering, you know, where does colin powell stand on this entire election. You know, that could not have been appreciated to have colin powell brought into this. Bottom line is one thing i know Hillary Clinton has apologized for using two emails. She said she could have done better. She still hasnt taken full responsibility. The buck stops here. She keeps on saying people recommended it to her. Until that happens, youre going to see things like this. The fact that we saw early on that colin powell, his people, said that he didnt remember the conversation, so you had to see this coming a little bit. They want absolutely nothing to do with this. And you have to wonder, is this going to get him to an endorsement later on. I dont know. He didnt seem very happy there to be involved. No, he did endorse barack obama twice. It is notable right now, his silence on this election. A lot of People Associated with him have said they would never vote for donald trump. Panel, stick around. Thank you very much. Houwever, we would like to ak the senior people in the Clinton Campaign about this. Its been several weeks since theyve provided us with any senior Level Campaign person. We want them here to talk about the election. Come on, guys. In just a moment, youre also going to see my oneonone interview with trumps running mate, governor mike pence. We were at the iowa state fair account to. He had a lot of interesting things to say. All right. The olympics. You can see them on tape delay sometime soon. Team usa dominated the games as they came to a close in rio. The u. S. Clinched the most medals. Still, the event did have some controversy. Ryan lochte made a stunning admission after a week of a lot of not stunning admissions. N sports anchorrio. Reporter good morning, guys. A lot of negativity, as we know, coming into these rio games. There are negatives that certainly exist here, but it is certainly safe to say it was the athletes and their performances stealing the show here in rio. We got to witness some of the greatest athletes the world has ever seen. Michael phelps, simone biles, usain bolt. An incredible celebration last night at the closing ceremony. Brazil won the most medals in their nations history. Soccer is like religion here. They won their first ever olympic gold here for brazil. A huge samba party to cap it all off last night. Simone biles, the fourtime gold winning superstar, was carrying the American Flag for team usa. I got to spend some time with her here in rio. She is humble. She is kind. Just as dynamic off the floor as she is on it. So incredible representative for the states. Now, there were some events yesterday too. I got to go to that gold medal match, the final gold medal being handed out in the games. Usa mens basketball serving it to serbia. 30point victory margin there, earning their Third Straight gold for the u. S.

One takes his shirt off down to his underwear, starts lying on the mat. Theyre throwing clothing at the judges in protest. The crowd chanting. Yes, good moment indeed. The biggest distraction of this years games, ryan lochte. He issued that written apology for his role in the gas station incident, which turned into a fullblown International Incident last week. Lochte talked to nbcs matt lauer, which aired saturday night. Lochte admitted that he did not tell the truth. You said at some point after you refused to sit down, the Security Guard put the gun to your forehead and cocked it. That didnt happen. That didnt happen. And thats why i overexaggerated that part. Whyd you do that . I dont know why. You know, it was still hours after the incident happened. I was still intoxicated. I was still under that influence. And im not making me being intoxicated an excuse. Im not doing that at all. It was my fault. Reporter now, alisyn, the first ever south American Olympic games have come to an end. The skies are weeping here in rio, but what a wonderful experience this was. Its been a complete joy to bring these stories from the games.

Donald trumps running mate, indiana governor mike pence, crisscrossing the country with a Campaign Style thats very different to trumps often combative demeanor. I caught up with governor pence at the iowa state fair, where lots of people lined up to see the man that might be the next Vice President. Look at everybody waving to you. That feels good. Oh, its wonderful. Wonderful, warm reception here. Donald trump will be back here in a week. Well be campaigning hard across all this country and all across iowa. So lets start with some of the latest headlines. On friday night donald trump was in michigan, as you know. He was making an appeal to africanamerican voters. Sure. And he used some language and messaging that some people have taken umbrage with. Ill read some of it to you. He said, youre living in poverty, your schools are no good, you have no jobs, you have 58 youth unemployment, what the hell do you have to lose . That was an appeal to vote for the trump pence ticket. What do you think of that message . Well, it was such an honor for me to be with donald trump earlier in the day as we toured neighborhoods devastated by the flooding in baton rouge. I saw this broad shouldered leader and his profound compassion for the hurting families of louisiana. And i think that message and other messages all come from the fact that we believe we can do better for every american. We can get this economy moving again. Democratic policies have resulted in failing schools and unsafe areas. He really believes, and i agree with him, that by getting this economy going again, lowering taxes, getting trade deals that work for americans, and by expanding School Choice for every american that, we can get these cities working, we can get america working again. When he was talking about inner city blacks and the Unemployment Rate there, he used a number that was higher than what the bureau of labor statistics said. He said 58 of black youth are unemployed. The bureau of labor statistics says its 14. 5. Put that aside. What specifically will he do for inner city blacks . Were going to change the direction of this country from 7 1 2 years of policies that have seen 7 million more americans living below the poverty line than when barack obama became president of the United States. Look, donald trump and i believe that we need to bring real change to this country. Thats not going to happen unless we change the leadership. Hillary clinton is essentially running for Barack Obamas third term. Shes advocating more taxes, more spending, more regulation, exactly the kind of things that have resulted in the slowest economic recovery since the great depression. Donald trump and i believe that what worked back in the 1980s, less taxes, less regulation, making the right investments and infrastructure, is going to create a growing american economy, and thats going to lift opportunities for people to live in our cities. Specifically for the inner city, are there things you can say to black voters right now that are living there that how the
