How, why . We begin with jason carol. Good morning to you, chris. That black face cartoon of Hillary Clinton is sure to complicate trumps attempt to court africanamerican voters some of whom are still uncomfortable with the rhetoric of the campaign. Trump is set to deliver this immigration policy speech that will finally clear the air on where trump stands on key points involving illegal immigration. Accusations of racism leading to more personal attacks on the campaign trail. People look at that and say, you seem desperate. Donald Trumps Campaign manager hitting back at Hillary Clintons running mate for remarks he made last week, linking trump to former ku klux klan grand wizards david duke. Donald trump is pushing their values, ku klux klan values, david duke values. In the case of tim kaine, we expect the rough and tumble politics, the lies from Hillary Clinton and her folks, but tim kaine, youve been a mayor,
senator, a governor, running for Vice President , harvard law degree and you stoop so low that you are making these allegations. I think it will backfire. Duke, who is running for a senate seat in louisiana is promoting trump in robo calls for his Louisiana Senate campaign. Its time to stand up and vote for donald trump for president and vote for me, david duke for the u. S. Senate. Trump had been criticized for not disavowing dukes endorsement quickly enough during the primary. Trumps campaign did quickly disavow the robo calls in a statement and on cnn. Absolutely disturbing the Trump Campaign has no knowledge of the campaign that david duke is running and we have disavowed david duke and dont condone any of the activities hes doing. At a fund raising in the hamptons, clinton saying duke senate bid is a byproduct of trump dog whistles to racist voters. This is as trump supporter pastor mark burns apologized after tweeting this photo of Hillary Clinton in black face, mocking her outreach to black voters. The last thing i want to do is to offend people. Meanwhile, the republican nominee seizing on the latest sexting scandal surrounding the husband of longtime clinton adviser huma abedin. He is married to a man who is uncontrollable. Abdean announcing her separation from Anthony Wiener. Something people close to the family tell cnn left abdean furious and sickened. Trump using the opportunity to slam clintons quote bad judgment. Hes a sick person and, you
know, she has access to classified information. To think that is very likely that much of this information Anthony Wiener would know about. And i think its something that was terrible. Trumps highly anticipated speech on immigration comes together from phoenix. Trump has been cite sized for not being consistent or clear on the issue. His hard line supporters are hoping they will finally get some clarification about that Deportation Force he promised he would put into place to deport an estimated 11 million undocumented People Living here in the United States. Chris . Appreciate it, jason. Thank you frp setting the table for us. Lets discuss errol lewis and jackie kucinich. Where to begin . Where to begin . Lets start with errol, the policy implications of tomorrow, okay . Lets keep it clean on the first beat here. Jason teed up the desire to find out for clarity on the Deportation Force. Now, if thats the bar for success, hes walking into trouble tomorrow. Do you think hell try to redefine priorities to get away from that . I think hell skip around that particular issue, by the way. We already have a Deportation Force. We have a pretty robust border Enforcement Unit that has been funded by congress at the insistence of border states, by the way, like arizona. Trump says its not working and thats why the thing that they keep siting is the 20,000 criminals who were released and not deported. So he says that Deportation Force is not working hes going to fix it. If thats where he goes, i wish him the best of luck with that. That will play well in arizona where theres a hotly contested primary thats going to happen just next tuesday, so that will get him through that room. That will get him through that
speech. On the other hand, these larger questions that everybody else is watching, the whole rest of the country thats going to vote on november 8th, Deportation Force saying he will do better is a promise. Its not a policy. So if hes asked or if he chooses to actually detail a policy, then well have a better sense. He and all of his surrogates can maybe finally get it straight and talk about where he wants to go. The reality is, though, as weve seen from the polls and you reported yesterday, he has quite a lot of wiggle room on this. Most of the country want better border enforcement, they want an answer to immigration, they do not want to see 11 Million People deported. He can go light on how big this Deportation Force is how active or in what order theyll sort of find and implement this promise that he made to deport 11 Million People. Jackie, we started with talking about the policy situation here because we are hoping that thats what election was about, but of course it isnt. Its about the ugly tactics of politics. Now we have the black face
cartoon of clinton in these bizarre remarks of trump of all people saying that clinton had had bad judgment by keeping huma abedin close given what Anthony Wiener is dealing with in his own personal life. Whats your take on this . You know, trump has never been someone who has a whole lot of self awareness. Him going after Anthony Wiener when he surrounded himself with people like steve ban nonand roger ailes and maybe some people a lot of people wouldnt be comfortable with having access to classified information is curious for sure. He also kind of jumped the shark. He started talking about some of the crazy conspiracy rumors about huma abedin and the muslim brotherhood. He said that on a radio show yesterday. So its the old donald trump that we talk about rather than new and improved Kellyanne Conway donald trump that sort of took the reigns yesterday. And we saw going out a little bit too far. Errol, he is not just talking
about the morals of the Anthony Wiener in this latest sexting scandal. He is saying that Anthony Wiener is dangerous to National Security because he may have had access to classified information. Let me read you the trump statement about thatch many Hillary Clinton was careless and negligent to allowing wiener to have close to highly classified information. Who knows what he learned and who he told. Its another example of Hillary Clintons bad judgment. Is it possible that our country and security have been greatly compromised by this. What do you think of that linka linkage . One of the things is donald trump goes through what is his first time running for any public office, hes got to learn that thats for the surrogates to do. Thats for somebody toels do. Its not for the candidate to get out and blindly speculate. Because hes really talking about sort of a triple jump. Was classified information given to huma abedin . Did she then give it to her snuz was it information that would actually harm the security of the United States . All of that stuff are things he doesnt have any kind of grasp of any real factual information about it. So it becomes just a distraction and accusation. Its not like you cant have distractions and accusations in a campaign, but its not for the candidate to do. Let somebody else speculate or ask serious questions. Look, it wasnt that long ago that Anthony Wiener was a congressman. He had access to all kinds of Important Information back then. Its not as if he is supposed to be kept away from anything that might sound like its sort of important to the National Security. And as you suggested before, you know, if you start looking at some of the people around donald trump, theyre not people of the highest sort of ethical and moral purity, if you want to use Anthony Wiener as the standard. There are scandals that have involved people like roger stone. Weve got these questions that are swirling around paul manafort. What did they hear . Did they get access to any briefings . Theres no point going down that rabbit hole. Here again, its not for the candidate to do it. Let somebody else go out there and try to chop off heads. What many of us would like to hear is for the candidate to talk about policy details. Talk about a direction for the country. Not getting into the back and forth. Except that thats hard an this is easier, especially for trump, he loves this. The question is, jackie, is there enough depth to plum where you can make advantage with these kinds of attacks. Lets put up these numbers in context to my question. We have opinion polls for registered voters for both of these candidates. With trumps, you have 57 unfavorable, 26 favorable. You dont have to be a seasoned pollster to know that means the negative is baked in. Similarly, with clinton, youve got 34 51. Now, just to state the obvious of what people should know by now, weve never had candidates at this stage of the race who are upside down positive to negative. As deep as i go, you dont see it. Jackie, is it worth the time to talk about this stuff . How much higher can you take her negative . This has been a race to the bottom since the very beginning. Another thing in the poll that was very interesting, only 2 of people said they had nice things to say about both of the candidates. 2 . Thats not immediate family at that point. So, really. So, youre right where are these negative attacks bringing their numbers down . Donald trump hasnt really had any attack ads run against him Hillary Clinton hasnt had any attack ads run against her yet. Donald trump certainly has in the primary, which may be why his numbers are a little lower, but seems like maybe these candidates should talk about themselves and what theyre going to do rather than tear the other down. Its very clear in these opinion polls the American People are kind of sick of both of them. Already. And its only august. Except in that way, errol, it levels the playing field. Since they both have high negatives and both have unfavorables, they can both keep doing what theyre doing because
theres a parody on some level. Thats right. Look, it also suggests that both of them have what the political strategists will tell them is a clearer path to success by driving up the other persons negatives. Unfortunately that amounts to a kind of low level Voter Suppression tactic. The reality is what we know is when unfavorables is this high, disgust level of the people voting is this high, people decide to stay home. Its not illegal to try to get the other peoples supporters to stay home, but its really unpleasant not good for democracy, raises the level of overall cynicism and sets the stage for some real problems down the road. What does the next president ial candidate do . Great point. Stick around, we have much more to talk about. Also the fbi revealing that hackers breached voter data bases in illinois and arizona earlier this year. In illinois, hackers are believed to have accessed up to
200,000 personal voter records. Election Officials Say theyre highly confident the hackers did not change anything. In the arizona breech, officials shut down the states Voter Registration system for about a week and stole one election password and name. The capital evacuate affidavit a bomb attack near the compound in kyrgyzstan. The blast injured three people inside the diplomatic post. So far no identity on the ie tacker, no claim of responsibility. Well, actor, screen writer, author, director, gene wilder did it all and he did it with his own style. He died monday at 83 years old. Wilder was a legend, of course, in the world of comedy and perhaps never better than when teaming up with mel brooks on some laugh out loud masterpieces. We have more on his life and legacy. It was a full life. Cant help but smile thinking about him, right . Fans, friends and fellow actors
will continue to pay tribute today to wild mer ch known for his energy, humor but maybe most notably his role as that quirky candy tycoon. Willy wonka has left this world. Want to change the world theres nothing to it reporter but actor gene wilder leaves it changed with his performances, from his oscar nominated role in the producers to his other oscar nominated role in young frankenstein. Franken tine, you must be egor. Its pronounced igor. Wilder died at the age of 83 from complications from alzheimers though his nephew said it never stole his ability to recognize those closest to him. He was an actor who married four times, painted watercolors. Wilders last wife karen survives him. Mel brooks tweeting, one of the truly great talents of our time. He blessed every film we did with his magic and he blessed me with his friendship. Wilder blazed his way through three brooks comedies, multiple films with Richard Pryor and countless other projects, but hell always remain the ultimate candy man. There is no life i know to compare with your imagination reporter a toast to your imagination, gene wilder, youll live in ours. Dont forget what happened to the man who suddenly got everything he always wanted. What happened . He lived happily ever after. So he actually kept his illness a secret, but im more fascinated that chris actually knew him. Yeah. He was a very early pioneer
for Cancer Research. Obviously he was married to snl great, guilda radner. Cancer took her. He was a sweet guy of tremendous personal depth and people you would talk to in hollywood and broadway would say that this man had it all. He could do everything. And he was so beguiling to watch. Just watching and particularly in willy wonka his facial expression, his movements the actors around him sort of dont know what hes going to do at any given moment. Wow. What a talent. The nicest man, like you just described. Thats what we heard from all the actors. You cant think of him and not laugh. Thank you. He would want us laughing, i guarantee you that. Up next, the art of the debate prep. We have new details on how the clinton team is working versus
the trump team. Guess what, youll be shocked at how different they are. Next. 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. Today, the only spanish words he knows are burrito and enchilada. Soon, hell take notes en espanol. Get back to great with the right gear. From the place with the experts. Office depot officemax. Gear up for school. Gear up for great. But when we brought our daughter home, that was it. Now i have nicoderm cq. The nicoderm cq patch with unique extended release Technology Helps prevent your urge to smoke all day. Its the best thing that ever happened to me. Every great why needs a great how. Im hall of famer jerry west and my life is basketball. But that doesnt stop my afib from leaving me at a higher risk of stroke. Thatd be devastating. I took warfarin for over 15 years until i learned more about oncedaily xarelto. A latest generation blood thinner. Then i made the switch. Xarelto® significantly lowers the risk of stroke in people with afib not caused by a heart valve problem. It has similar effectiveness to warfarin. Warfarin interferes with vitamin k and at least six blood clotting factors. Xarelto® is selective targeting one critical factor of your bodys natural clotting function. For people with afib currently well managed on warfarin, there is limited information on how xarelto and warfarin compare in reducing the risk of stroke. Like all blood thinners,
dont stop taking xarelto without talking to your doctor, as this may increase your risk of a blood clot or stroke. While taking you may bruise more easily, and it may take longer for bleeding to stop. Xarelto may increase your risk of bleeding if you take certain medicines. Xarelto can cause serious, and in rare cases fatal bleeding. Get help right away for unexpected bleeding, unusual bruising or tingling. If you have had spinal anesthesia while on xarelto watch for back pain or any nerve or muscle related signs or symptoms. Do not take xarelto if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. Tell your doctor before all planned medical or dental procedures. Before starting xarelto tell your doctor about any conditions, such as kidney, liver or bleeding problems. To help protect yourself from a stroke, ask your doctor about xarelto. Theres more to know. Xarelto. Well, the first president ial debate is now less than a month away. Well be there, of course. What . Yes. They havent told you that, your schedule yet. Both candidates are preparing in very different ways. Lets bring back our panel, jacksy kucinich and errol lewis. The New York Times has fascinating reporting about how each camp is preparing. Let me read what they said about Hillary Clintons camp. They enlisted the ghost writer of the donald trump biography the art of the deal. Hillary clintons advisers are talking to Donald Trumps ghost writer of the art of the deal seeking insights about mr. Trumps deepest insecurities as they devise strategies to needle and undermine him. Thats pretty fascinating about how that might look on the debate stage. Yeah. I mean, this is going to be a debate like we havent seen before. I think its fair to say th
