CNNW New Day August 23, 2016

A Development Clinton brushed off monday night. Jimmy, my emails are so boring. Yeah, mine arent. Im embarrassed by that, theyre so boring. We already released, i dont know, 30,000 plus, so whats a few more . Reporter trump continuing his outreach to black and hispanic voters, raising eyebrows with his tone yet again. What do you have to lose . I will straighten it out. Well get rid of the crime. Youll be able to walk down the street without getting shot. Right now, you walk down the street and you get shot. Reporter Clintons Campaign blasting trumps overcharge of the black community, accusing trump of doubling down on insults, fears and stereotypes that set our Community Back and further divide our country. This appeal to hispanics coming as Trumps Campaign clears their stance on immigration. Well get rid of all of the bad ones. We have gang members, killer, we have a lot of bad people who have to get out of this country. The police know who they are. He will deport those who have absolutely committed a crime, been convicted of a crime. This coming after trump advocated for mass deportation for months. Theyre going back where they came. As for Hillary Clinton, the democratic nominee forced to address unfounded conspiracy theories over her health. Go online and put down Hillary Clinton illness, take a look for the videos for yourself. I dont know why theyre saying this. I think one on the one hand its part of the whacky strategy, say all these crazy things and maybe you can get some people to believe you. On the other hand, it absolutely makes no sense. Can you open this jar of pickles. This has not been tampered with. [ cheers and applause ]. And Hillary Clinton set to release a Small Business plan today outlining a standard Tax Deduction for Small Business owners, also an expansion of Health Care Tax credits. Vp candidate tim kaine will host a round table with Small Business owners in colorado today. Thank you for the reporting. Lets bring in cnn National Politics reporter mj lee. And Jackie Kucinich and mark preston. Okay. So mj, this harkens us back to the early days of clinton investigating when there was a special prosecutor, independent counsel appointed. Lets leave to the aside that trump cant call for somebody like this. This is done by branchs of government, congress, the judicial branch. He cant call for one of these. Whats the play . No. This was very strong rhetoric we saw from donald trump last night. Remember, this is coming after it was revealed that hes going to be postponing a major policy speech on immigration that was supposed to come later this week. I think clearly we are seeing a strategy from donald trump sort of focussing in on Hillary Clinton and her email issues. This is an issue that is very sort of vulnerable for Hillary Clinton and that trump has really struggled to get the candidate to really focus in on whats the play. He cant make one happen. The people who would make one happen or dont seem disposed to do that, so what does he get out of this. Certainly the next morning here we are sitting around the round table talking about this, talking about the fact that he raised this issue and that he clearly has concerns about the way that this investigation has been handled. This is a concern that a lot of Trump Supporters and people who have reservations about clintons feel. When they hear donald trump talking about this, it sort of gets them worked up and certainly if he is trying to win over independent voters and not just the folks that already support trump and expand that base, this is a strategy that i think does help him in the longterm. More over, jackie, isnt it also that if he says the doj isnt capable of doing investigations impartially, the fbi is not capable, the media is shady, the election will be rigged, all of this plants the seed of doubt in our government institutions and in our democracy and only he can be trusted . Well, right. This is not off brand for donald trump at all because there is this sort of this mistrust of government that he has consistently said over and over again throughout this campaign, you make reference to the election process itself. He sort of set up this system is rigged. Last night he was talking about you need to watch and make sure theres not voter fraud going on to his supporters. So, the idea that the Justice Department and the fbi also cannot be trusted is very much in line of what donald trump has been saying all along. So the reasonableness of what hes asking for isnt as relevant, mark, as what it stokes and what he has going for him is that there is some there there. Theres certainly concern about the deeper implications of whats going on with Hillary Clintons email, the work at the foundation and now the buzz word of the day, 15,000, these documents that the state department has to review, how do you see that number . Well, first of all, its huge. We dont necessarily know whats in these documents, but the fact of the matter is these documents did not surface when they firsthanded over the first cash of emails to be looked at, that being the Clinton Campaign to the state department to have them vetted and looked at to see what was personal and what was not personal. What it does is what weve seen donald trump do in the last three to four days is actually run a traditional campaign. What he is trying to do deflect away anything that might be negative about him and focus entirely on Hillary Clinton. Honestly, chris, this might be one of the first times in this campaign that donald trump hasnt stepped on his own message. Takes a step back. Doesnt say anything too inflammatory and allows the media glare to focus on Hillary Clinton and the problems and troubles she is having and in this case its with the emails. Mj, we have a couple examples of whats in the emails that once again suggest that the Clinton Foundation and state department there was not a fire wall between them. Top executives of the Clinton Foundation continued to ask for favors of the state department. Here is an example of the crown prince of bahrain. He was going to be in town. Doug van from the Clinton Foundation reached out to huma abedin, Hillary Clintons top aid and he says crown prince of bahrain in tomorrow to friday asking to see our to see her, meaning Hillary Clinton. Good friend of ours, doug says. Huma abedin says responds offering 10 00 a. M. Meeting with hillary rad ham clinton. If you see him, let him know we have reached out through official channels. So again, is this a smoking gun or should would be head of the state department be interested in meeting with the crown prince of bahrain . No doubt about it that this is a big political headache, especially coming at this point in the election. I think what this email goes to show, at least for the voters who are open to being persuaded that somehow the clintons are not on the level that somehow they have conducted themselves in public life, willing to bend the rules privately to perhaps meet with folks that are asking for a meeting with clinton when she was at the state department. I think these emails sort of confirm that, at least for the folks who are willing to be persuaded that there was something there. You were saying chris that maybe there was a there there. There are plenty of people who want to be persuaded. Frankly i think that Hillary Clinton actually has had an easy way out for a long time in this general election so far because trump as mark was saying has stepped on his own message so much when he could have been talking about the clinton issue, he was getting in a fight with a gold star family or saying something that seemed to incite violence against Hillary Clinton. So all of these things, i think have really kept trump off of this issue, which he should be talking about every single day. In truth, were giving trump a pass, too. He had one of his ugly twitter spasms over the last couple days that weve seen in terms of personal attacks going after people and what hes inosine ewuating. The less we talk about that, the better. Im all for that. Jackie, the reality is that this is how it works in government. So trump is raising a very salient issue, pay for play, whatever you want to call it without making it a felony is what happens in government all the time. The question becomes if he stokes this fire, what does she suggest will make it go away . How is he not another piece of evidence of this system . He says all the time that he played this game as much as anybody. So where does this lead . Well, he is saying that shes a criminal, so hes trying to say that this is a felony and of course there hasnt been that wrong doing found in this situation. But he is saying, im not part of this system. You can trust me because ive been forward with you. Yeah, of course i played by these rules, but im telling you i do it. He is oversharing rather than saying he has something to hide. Thats been one of the messages with the clintons is that, you know, they are one of the things hes been saying about the clintons is that they hide things. Theyre not being on the level. They dont play by the same rules. Its sort of a reverse psychology. He is being so open and honest about it that people think that he is just saying whats on his mind and being completely honest with them. But as you mentioned, that donald trump that weve come to know over the last couple months is still out there. Its almost like one of those factories weve had one day without an excellent. I think were with that with the Trump Campaign right now. Well see how long he can keep this streak going. So far its tuesday and he has had a good week. Stick around and we want to talk about donald trump reaching out to the Africanamerican Community. We have other news to tell you about because this federal judge in texas temporarily blocked the president s transgender policy at schools nationwide. The judge granted the preliminary injunction sought by a group of 13 states led by texas. The ruling prevents the u. S. Department of to allow transgender students to choose which restrooms and locker rooms to use. The government will likely appeal this. We have more heart breaking details revealed in the gator attack at the disney world resort, you remember killing 2yearold lane graves. New report says the boys father did desperately try to pry the gators jaws open, jumping on its head, punching it after the gator grabbed his son by his head. The report calls the june incident a predatory event. It reveals two guests warned disney employees there was an alligator near the beach. Authorities say they are confident the gator that attacked was among six caught and killed after the incident. As you know, police in rio say that ryan lochte was not robbed, but lochte just lost a ton of endorsement money, spee do, ralph lauren, two other major sponsors cutting ties with the disgraced american swimmer this comes after lochtes false claim that he and three olympic teammates were robbed in rio. Lochte admitted over the weekend that he, quote, overexaggerated the story. So, donald trump, part of his new plan is to court minorities aggressively. Africanamericans specifically. Hes asking for their vote, but how is he doing it . Is telling blacks that they have nothing to lose the way to get their vote . What will this tone do that could turn voters off . We have an expert analysis ahead. She spent summer bingewatching. Soon, shell be bingestudying. Now she writes mostly in emoji. Soon, shell type the best essays in the entire 8th grade.

Just search, compare, and apply at creditcards. Com. A one, a two, a three percent cash back it is a disaster the way africanamericans are living in many cases and in many cases the way hispanics are living. What do you have to lose . I will straighten it out. Ill bring jobs back. Well bring spirit back. Well get rid of the crime. Youll be able to walk down the street without getting shot. Right now you walk down the street and you get shot. Look at the statistics. All right, that was donald trump trying to reach out to minority voters again last night at a rally. Lets bring back our panel to discuss it, we have mj lee, Jackie Kucinich and mark preston. So, mark, donald trump needs help with minority voters. Let me pull up the polls of why he continues to reach out to them or attempt to reach out. The polls are not looking good, as you heard. Clinton gets 89 of africanamerican voters at the moment and donald trump is down at 2 after even gary johnson and jill stein. 100 increase from this poll. So he has a chance, youre saying. This is the nbc wall street journal poll famously giving him 1 . Do we have any sense, mark, of how this is going over . What do you have to lose . You walk down the street and you get shot message that hes sending out . Right. Look, its dropping like a lead balloon. Where donald trump needs a lot of help is with his messaging to africanamericans and to minorities in general. Instead of talking about being a businessman, someone who created a lot of jobs, he is out there and he says inflammatory comments that really angers folks. Whats interesting, too, is that donald trump who is known for stretching the truth a little bit when he is talking, suggested that after four years in the white house he will get 95 support of africanamericans. Lets just put that into con t. Barack obama, the first africanamerican president got 95 of africanamerican voters to support him when he was first elected and then he got 93 in 2012. There is no way donald trump would even come close to that. This is a bigger issue for the Republican Party, which to their credit had been trying to work on reaching out to africanamericans and hispanics but is having their own internal problems in doing so. Donald trump goes out and uses inflammatory languages instead of talking perhaps about job creation and trying to revitalize inner cities, its a losing message. He is talking about job creation. Jackie, i guess the political sin here would be that hes painting all africanamericans as living in the ghetto. Now, he did say in many, many cases he didnt say all, but this is as mark refers a messaging issue. How so . I mean, this is not going to work. The other thing is hes not even going into africanamerican communities. Look at those crowds. Its all white people. Hes talking to rooms full of white people about africanamericans. Saying africanamerican over and over and over again in a speech is not outreach. Its bluster. Using stereotypes to do it, certainly isnt going to win him any friends. Meanwhile, mj, theres another strategy thats curious that donald trump and his campaign have put out. He is going to give a speech on immigration this thursday. To clarify whether or not he does believe in deportation, bans of deportation officers, sending home all 11 million plus undocumented immigrants, hes cancelled that. Hes also cancelled a rally scheduled in las vegas on friday as well as a later one in portland oregon. Whats going on . Its hard to overstate how not normal it is to cancel or postpone a major policy speech. We know for sure that his campaign or the candidate himself theyre showing signs of potentially softening his rhetoric when it comes to immigrati immigration. We saw Kellyanne Conway over the weekend, does he still support the deportation, she said to be determined. This is striking because immigration has been so poor to his campaign and his message. I think this suggests that he is working to tweak the language, working to perhaps make his primary message better fit general elect rat. His hard line immigration views really do not work well for the general election population. You want to hear what hes saying . Yeah. Last night he tried to explain where he is with deportation. Lets listen. Well get rid of all of the bad ones. We have gang members, we have a lot of bad people who have to get out of this country. The police know who they are. They are known by Law Enforcement who they are. We dont do anything. They go around killing people and hurting people. So lets talk about what hes doing here. As we all know, that is the current state of law, mark, is that felons are supposed to be removed no matter whats going on, especially when theyre already illegally in the country, but is this just as simple as, hey, this policy you have of building the wall and kicking out a faith, it doesnt work. We have to reset. Is that whats going on in the campaign right now . Yeah. And look, his policy prescriptions are very simple in what he says, im going to build a wall. Thats going to stop people. Were going to go out and send the bad people back over the wall, theyre not going to get back in. Thats okay to say that, but thats not reality of how things work. First of all, he talked about deporting 11 million people. Financially it would be impossible to do and logistically. He is softening his rhetoric right now to become more in line with most of america, quite frankly as with most republicans as well who dont see this as a viable option. Donald trump will walk this very, very fine line where he is going to continue to appear very strong in the idea of safety and deportation because he has to keep the base that got him there. But at the same time, he has to try to open the door to try to get the republicans who still have
