Theyre bringing crime. Theyre rapists, and some i assume are good people. Reporter trump tweeting ive accepted the invitation of president Enrique Pena Nieto of mexico and look very much forward to meeting a surprising invitation, rejecting the nominees promise hell make them pay for a border wall. I will build a great, great wall on our southern border, and i will have mexico pay for that wall. Mark my words. Under in circumstances would mexico pay for that wall. There is no way mexico can pay a wall like that. Reporter the mexican president likening the billionaires rhetoric to Adolph Hitler and be knee toe mussolini. He tweeted that the purpose of
the visit is to promote the interests of mexicans worldwide and protect mexicans wherever they might be. During a north american summit with president obama in july, nieto promised a frank, open dialogue with whomever is elected. Tomorrow night in arizona, big speech on immigration. Reporter trump is set to unveil his long awaited immigration plan, but Details Remain vague. The big question is whether trump will soften his hardline position to use force deportation to remove an estimated 11 million undocumented immigrants. 11 Million People in this country that came in illegally. They will go out. We have to have baby steps first. Reporter well, trump has not used the word baby steps in relation to his approach to immigration policy. So well have to see how that works out. Later we will see what steps he will take. The clinton camp, for their part, weighing in on trumps meeting with mexicos president ,
the campaign released a statement saying what ultimately matters is what donald trump says to voters in arizona, not mexico, and whether he remains committed to the splitting up of families if and deportation of millions. Jason, thank you very much. But this is a significant move. Youre going to see it echoed now by the campaign, namely donald trump jr. Coming on television defending his fathers immigration policy against accusations hes flipflopped on his Central Campaign issue. Tough spot for the son who sat down with Anderson Cooper last night to drill down on specifics. Heres a taste. Tomorrow your dad is giving a big speech on immigration. Have you seen the speech . Do you know what it is . Have you talked to him about it . If so, is there going to be more clarity on exactly what his policy is . Theres going to be more clarity. Ive seen parts of it. Theyre still finalizing aspects of it now t and theyre going to continue to lay out things in the coming weeks and months as that expands. Youre going to see a lot more
detail, but youre going to see the fundamental principles we have to do. We have to secure our border. We have to implement an everify system. We have to let i. C. E. Do their job, enforce the existing laws on the books. These are laws there today. They been on the books for years. Theyve been expanded. These guys are basically told they cant do that. We have to have baby steps first. We have to let i. C. E. Do their jobs, and we have to do this for the benefit of the American People. Your dad was very clear during the primaries about his policy. Build a wall, have mexico pay for it, go after the criminals, the undocumented 11 million immigrants. Theyve got to go, good ones can come back. There will be a Deportation Force. He seems to be deemphasizing that or trying to focus more on build a wall, the everify, go after the criminals. Now were hearing from someone from the Campaign Just the other day, well, on the 11 million, well figure that out down the road. Is there going to be more
clarity on that tomorrow . I think the 11 million is one thing, but when you take out again, the criminals, when you take out the people who have committed felonies and you send them back home, thats millions of people. Thats a big portion of that group. And without doing that, Everything Else is irrelevant. You have to take those steps first. That was pretty much jeb bushs policy. That was a lot of other republicans policies. Even your father acknowledge ed under obama theyve been deporting a large number of people. What has concerned republicans particularly in the last week or so is some of your dads statements about softening. Anderson, i was there. Youre obviously referring to the hannity thing. I was there with them. I did a segment for the next day five minutes after that. He wasnt softening on anything. He didnt change his stance on anything. What he did and what hes done all along is hes speaking with the people. Hes not lecturing them like most of the politicians you see. Hes having a conversation. He basically surveyed the room and asked, what are your thoughts on this . Because i want to take into
account what they say, unlike our opponents. Hes actually having a conversation with the people of this country, the hard working men and women who made this country great. Hes giving them a voice. He asked an opinion. He didnt say, well, my policy is now changed. The media will run with it however they want. Thats not what happened. And i was in the room. It did seem to some viewers we talked to that it seemed like hes polling the room, hes not quite sure what his own policy is. He was asking an opinion. His policy has been the same for the last six, seven, eight months. They all got to go. Thats been the same, correct. But you have to start with baby steps. You have to let i. C. E. Do their job. You have to eliminate the sanctuary cities. You have to get rid of the criminals, first and foremost. You have to secure the border. These are common sense things, anderson. These are things that every other country in the world has done. And those who havent and have gotten lackadaisical about it, look at whats going on. Europe is the best example of that right now. All right. So lets discuss trumps
surprise trip to mexico and his big speech tonight with cnn politics executive editor mark preston, cnn political analyst and National Political recorder for real clear politics, rebecca berg, and latin american political analyst and radio host anna marie salazar. So mark, how is this going to work today with this meeting between president nieto and donald trump . Donald trump who has called mexican immigrants rapists and president nieto who has likened donald trump to hitler and mussolini. I think we would expect there would be a lot of fireworks going into this meeting. However, i dont think thats going to happen. You have two men. They know what they need to do. You have a president of mexico right now whose favorability rating is in the 20s. You have donald trump back here talking about this populist message about how hes going to force mexico to build this wall. I think youre going to have donald trump go to this meeting, get back on an airplane, fly to arizona, talk about how well
things went and how well hell be able to work with mexico, and i think youll probably have the mexican president say were still not going to pay for that wall. Anna maria salazar, whats your take on what would motivate the mexican president in a meeting like this and where he needs to be on the other side of it. I dont think anybody understands what motivated the president to accept this meeting. I mean, literally everybody is in shock down here because this meeting is going to take place. Its hard to foresee any results from this meeting that could benefit nnieto or the mexican people. Itserplexing. Its very difficult to understand why he accepted the meeting. This could have repercussions in mexican politics. Theres a lot of questions in regards to the sanity of this meeting taking place in mexico by the mexican president. Rebecca, lets remind everyone of what president nieto
said about paying for the wall, which has been one of Donald TrumpsMain Campaign promises, when the president of mexico sat down with fareed zakaria. Listen to this. Donald trumps main policy proposal, the one he began his campaign with, is that he intends to build a wall between the United States and mexico along the border, and he intends to get mexico to pay for it. There is a way to help mexico pay the wall, but any decisions inside the United States is a decision of its government. But under no circumstances would mexico pay for that wall . There is no way mexico can pay a wall like that. He say theres no way they can pay for a wall like that. So rebecca, what do you think is going to happen on that topic when these two men finally talk . Well, i dont think, alisyn, that we can expect any sort of down payment on the wall long r. But of course, as mark said, this is important for donald trump because it gives him some context for his immigration speech later today. It gives him an opportunity to say s ive seen on the ground whats happening on the border, and now also met with the mexican president and expressed my concerns and expressed what i want to do if elected. That gives him sort of some credibility with this issue, whereas he doesnt have, as we know, Foreign Policy experience, like Hillary Clinton. This is one of the Major Concerns among voters when you look at public polling. And so any opportunity he has,
especially outside of the spotlight in terms of the american press. Hes not bringing reporters with him on this trip. So it gives him a very safe space to say, look, i am bolstering my credibility on this issue. Its absent an ugly incident with pena nieto. This is a home run for donald trump. Its something a president would do. Theres almost no chance he cant come out of it saying he didnt get his message across. They havent figure d out how t change finesse in their position. Donald trump jr. Isnt a kid. Hes 30something years old. Theres a difference between confidence and competence. He never said baby steps. Let i. C. E. Do its job. Whos keeping i. C. E. From doing its job in is that going to get past scrutiny, that kind of
argument . Youre right. Theres no way he can win in november if he doesnt change his position and move beyond the base. No question about that. But they really are muddying up the waters and making confusion on where donald trump stands, whether its deporting 11 million, whether its getting the bad guys out of here, about continuing on with policies that are already in place by barack obama. To your point, who is stopping i. C. E. From doing their job . Theres nobody out there stopping them from doing their job. So it really is muddled. But i think for the supporters of donald trump, regardless of what his position is, and to your point softening, chgwhich agree with absolutely, some would say evolving on the issue, his supporters are going to stay with him. I think that republicans who are concerned about donald trump, about his stand on immigration, and certainly voters who dont like the way his rhetoric has been directed at his panpanics going to embrace this. Ana maria, lets talk about the mystery and motivation
behind this. President pena nieto invited donald trump and invited Hillary Clinton. So why wouldnt he wait until there was a u. S. President elect, until the American Voters had decided on one of these people to then meet with them . Thats why thats whats been the mexican tradition. The mexican tradition has been not to show any preferences for any of the candidates who are seeking to be the next president of the United States. Thats why its astounding that hes meeting with donald trump the same week where the president is supposed to present his version of the state of the union in mexico. Its kind of the state of the nation address. Thats supposed to happen on thursday. And he is being bombarded by a lot of questions in regards to ability to govern. So this meeting is probably
taking place the worst week that could possibly be for the president in political terms. Of course, those who want to be potential candidates for the 2018 elections here in mexico already tweeting and sending out messages and telling donald trump that hes not welcome. So it will be used against the president , against the president s party, and ultimately donald trump is despised in mexico. Regardless whatever the outcome is of this meeting, its perceived like all of you have said. Only one who can really benefit from this is donald trump. So im not you know, to think that donald trump meeting with the mexican president could potentially even benefit him with hispanic or latino voters in the United States, mexicanAmerican Voters, is not going to go very far. So i could almost bet that this meeting is going to be considered one of the historical mistakes of this president and that, yes, donald trump is going
to use this meeting to somehow justify him being a bully or speaking strongly against the mexican people, against the Mexican Government. And no one has really mentioned this, the Hillary Clinton campaign is probably pretty angry about this. It is very unlikely that she would come and visit mexico, especially after this meeting. I would even say when she becomes president of the United States, its very unlikely that shell be that one of the first countries shell be visiting will be mexico. It could also have repercussions in the mexico u. S. Bilateral relation even after the elections. Such a fascinating perspective from you to talk about the Ripple Effect that todays meeting could have on everything. Thank you for all of that insight. Rebecca and mark, stick around. We have more questions for you coming up in our 8 00 hour. Well talk to trumps running mate, indiana governor mike pence, in his first interview since this mexico trip was announced. Well also get reaction from
the former mexican president. That will be in the 8 00 hour. Two big gop establishment senators fighting off primary challengers and keeping their bids for reelection alive. Arizona senator john mccain, a day after his 80th birthday, beating his 47yearold opponent, who called him old and weak, by more than ten percentage points. Mccain goes for a sixth term against democratic congresswoman Ann Kirkpatrick in november. And florida senator marco rubio cruising to a win against a millionaire who spent his own money trying to knock out rubio. The onetime president ial candidate will now face off against democratic congressman patrick murphy. Theyre expected to run a tight race with republican control of the senate on the line. All right. Now the fbi is set to make public its report that recommended no charges against clinton over private emails. The question is, what will this do to the campaign . What could be in there . Well give you a good hint, next. If i wahello. Up. If i want to go down. Noooo. Then if i want to come back again. Yes its perfect. Now that weve added adjustable base, my favorite part is to be able to lift your legs up a little bit, lift the head up a little bit, and it feels like im just cradled. I love the Adjustable Bed cause i love it when im watching tv. And there you have it. Change your sleep, change your life. Change to tempurpedic. Now thru september 11th, upgrade and save on select tempurpedic mattresses and adjustable bases during our labor day event. But when we brought our daughter home, that was it. Now i have nicoderm cq.

Do your people have the right safety gear . Are they protected . Im ready you think your customers cant tell the difference between

Some cause for speculation on both sides of the race. The fbi is set to release to the public its report to the Justice Department recommending nothing charges against Hillary Clinton for her use of private email servers as secretary of state. This as were learning that the state Department Found dozens of clintons deleted emails related to the benghazi attack. On the other side, a real hit piece in mother jones that basically describes Donald TrumpsModeling Agency as a circumvention of immigration law. So lets bring back mark preston and rebecca berg. Lets talk about these two potential bombshells. I put it in quotes because what can there be in these emails if the fbi already looked at them, right, already inspected these emails that its giving over . What could be in there that would change the race . We dont know, but thats whats the 64,000 question is. Is there correspondence back and
forth between the state department aides, folks perhaps, you know, outside of the state department . Because we already know there was a connection with the foundation anyway. Were there people on the outside providing help to the people on the inside about how to deal with benghazi. If thats the case, that would be new. That would be revealing. Also, i think it goes to a greater problem for Hillary Clinton. We talk about this every week as were sitting here. The clintons seem to try to play by their own rule. This is another example of them saying, do as i say, not as i do. Rebecca, were also going to get these 30 pages of the fbis
