Well, welcome to saturday. Were so grateful to see you, im christi paul. Im victor blackwell. Your new day starts right now. The only way we could lose, in my opinion, i really mean this, pennsylvania, is if cheating goes on. This is the biggest load of bull i ever heard. He refuses to do what ever other president ial candidates in decades has done and release his tax return. The folks out here say they did not expect it to happen this way. They thought theyd get some rain and some flooding maybe up to their front pomps. Terrifying scene out here in st. Helena parish. At this point, more rain to
come. Michael phelps making olympics history again. Breakout star Simone Manuel also breaking history becoming the first africanamerican woman to ever win an individual swimming event. Well good morning. Were going to begin this morning with the race for the white house. And donald trump who headed to connecticut tonight where hes going to rally supporters. Yeah, and trumps visit to connecticut which hasnt voted for a republican candidate since 1988 comes where he trails Hillary Clinton in several swing states including there in pennsylvania. Nbc news wall street journal marist pool shows Hillary Clinton with 11 more points. Trump says if he loses pennsylvania is will be because clintons cheated. Cnns Jessica Snyder has more. Reporter well, victor and
christie, donald trump trying to clarify his comments saying that he was somewhat sarcastic when he talked about president obama and Hillary Clinton being the founder of isis. But as he toured pennsylvania here in altoona, he also made serious charges, controversial acharges, saying the only way hed lose this state, the only way Hillary Clinton would within here in pennsylvania is if cheating was going on. Donald trump trying to clarify his comments about president obama and isis. I said the founder, obviously being sarcastic, and obviously not that sarcastic, ieg said s founder. Very soon hes going over to pick up his most valuable player award . Did i say that . Reporter after trump
insisted that the president was the founder of the terrorist organization. I call president obama and Hillary Clinton the founders of isis. He meant that he created the vacuum he lost the peace. But hes the founder hes not sympathetic to them. He trying to hill them. Reporter that come from more that obamas comments he wanted to pull out of iraq. We should get them out real fast. Reporter its not the first time that trump has claimed sarcasm to get out of a jam when he said this back in july. Russia, if youre listening, i hope youre able to find the 30,000 emails that are missing. Reporter he layer dismissed the uproar. I obviously was being sarcastic. Everybody in the room found it very funny. Reporter warning for trump to be more careful with his
words. One of the things, the imprecise language. He sometimes uses three words but uses ten. Hes got to learn to use language that is thought through. Reporter the latest nbc news wall street journal marist poll showing trump lagging in 11 states. 11 points in colorado, trump said hes having trouble in traditionally red utah. Having a tremendous problem in utah. Is anybody here from utah . I mean i didnt think so. Were having a problem. Reporter and donald trump also seizing on some of Bernie Sanders words making those remarks about cheating telling his supporters that the system is rigged. Hes urging people to go out and avote. Donald trump acknowledging the importance of pennsylvania, the state and voters here. Telling his supporters we need
to win pennsylvania. Telling them to go out and vote. He did talk very specifically and stick to his policy in this speech. He talked about job creation and lowering taxes. Law and order. And urging people here to stand behind him and make the polls go his way in november. Christie and victor. Jessica, thank you so much. Weve got scoutty nell hughes and scottie, good morning to you. Good morning. Victor. Its been a great week in politics. Once again, we had a lot of headlines but last week we could not have predicted this. We certainly would not have predicted this headedline 24 hours ago. Donald trump claiming that the only way hell lose pennsylvania if theres cheating going on. However, the latest poll has him 11 points behind. Why would he make that about kau
cuization . Because hes making that of some sort of voter fraud. 19,605. Zero votes to mitt romney. Lets go to 2008, mccain, 0 of 57 precincts. You know exactly were those precincts are. In 2012, 59 precincts are in highly africanamerican Populated Areas of philadelphia. And the president won 93 of the africanamerican vote in 2012. So thats why there were no votes for mitt romney. There were also, in utah, several precinct where is barack obama got zero votes, but there are no claims of voter fraud there in utah. Absolutely. But lets go back to george w. Bush, george w. Bush, there were only five precincts in philadelphia that went zero. You mean to tell me that in all of those areas there wasnt one single republican . I think mr. Donald trump is gaining ground because youre seeing a much more Aggressive Movement for the africanamerican vote. Mr. Trump has really tried to go into these communities, reach out into a lot of their leaders and bring them into their campaigns. Now, victor, cheating is a harsh word. I think this is more like cheating on that diet by eating that cookie you shouldnt eat but not necessarily cheating on the Clinton Foundation. As the former speaker, Newt Gingrich put it there, is he i feel like, although i shouldnt have, to i should ask every time theres one of these statements made by donald trump. This is sarcasm, this is hyperbole . Is this a figure of speech when heization the only way we can lose, pennsylvania, as i really
mean it is, cheating is going on, does he really mean it or Something Else here . You can see by what he put on tv, all of these pundits are trying to figure out where im going or where i am. In the headlines is one thing, clarity, especially during a National Election is another. Does he mean it, or does he not . Well, this is all about engagement, too. I feel like im not getting an answer to the question here. Does he mean this its simply a yes nor. Im not going to force you to give me a yes or no. Does he mean this, or does he not . Thats a question you ask mr. Trump when he comes back on cnn, we can ask him. I think this is why hes so you dont know . I dont think cheating, i dont think of clinton going in there personally and steals do you know if he means it or not, last time with that question because ive got to move on . I think if he says it, he
means it. We saw that with the sarcasm comment. Well see if he clarifies it again tomorrow morning. Scottie, stay with us. Weve got more questions. Well be right back. And when we come back, although donald trump has been struggling in recent polls, he says he doesnt plan to change his course of attack. Why that could work for him in november.

[ coughs ] sorry, tickle in my throat water would be nice, but that would go right through me. Ghost problems. Welcome back. Were continuing with this race for the white house conversation. And now talking about Hillary Clinton. And an Interesting Exchange between a voter and former president bill clinton last night. That voter asked, why should Americans Trust the democratic nominee when she lied about her emails. Former president clinton said, wait a minute, thats not true. And he also said this. First of all, the fbi director said, when he testified before congress, he had to amend his previous days statement that she had never received any
emails by classified. They saw too late nos with a c on it. This is the biggest load of bull. They were about telephone calls she needed to make. The state department typically buts a little c on it to discourage them from talking in public. Scottie nell hughes, and maria del. Ive got to start with, maria, the president saying this is the biggest load of bull as the former president is asked about lies about the former secretary. Is this the way the campaign wants to frame this, at least were hearing rhetorically, a
very different style from the former president than the former secretary . I think what youre hearing from Hillary Clinton is a simplified way of looking at it, is that Hillary Clinton never put our National Security at risk. Hes going into details. Two stand out. The first one is that comey was very clear in telling congress that theres absolutely zero evidence that Hillary Clinton ever misled them or lied to them, number one. And number two, he, under questioning, had to admit that the three emails that the fbi said were classified were actually emails that had very partial markings on them. Even a specialist and an expert on clarification material would not have deemed those to be classified. Let me get some clarification. Under any normal circumstance, that would not be the case. Let me clarify. You said director comey said
there was no evidence that he misled that secretary clinton misled the fbi, correct. What about the American People, thats the question . Did she mislead the American People in some of her statements about her server and those emails . Well what she has said from the very beginning, i think, the most important thing is that she has apologized to the American People. Lets get that out there. Several times in fact. She understands that having a public server was not the right decision. Not the right way to go. Shes apologized to that. I understand that but did she mislead the American People or did she not . Well, no, because in her understanding of how clarification actually many peoples understanding of how classified material gets classified, she never intently received or ever sent clarified material. Knowingly received or sent classified material. That is what she has said. And that continues to be the case. Okay. Lets watch this exchange back
in september 2015 between secretary is clinton and msnbc Andrea Mitchell. And then well hear an exchange from congressman trey gowdy and director comey. Lets watch. And it took weeks, but they went through every single email. Yes, every single email. And they were overly inclusive. If they thought anything was inclusive, so inclusive, the state Department Said were going to return 1200 emails because they were totally personal. Secretary clinton said her lawyers read every one of the emails and they were overly inclusive. Did her lawyers read the emails individually . No. Director comey said they didnt do that . Well, i dont know what
information director comey had or came to that conclusion. But the fact of the matter is, she turned over all related emails to the state department. And the only ones that her lawyers kept were her personal emails. And you know, republicans continue to harp on this, victor, because they have nothing else to go with her. Because they cannot compete in the battlefield of ideas because their comment is coming off the rails with ridiculous irresponsible statements that underscore each and every day just how unfit he is to serve as president of the United States. I understand your desperation. Let me bring Scottie Nell Hughes in. That was a beautiful pivot. The clinton people believe some of this is already bake into the numbers. Yeah. And shes in some cases, according to some poll, dubt digits ahead . Lets realize why she has to apologize. Because with every new week theres a new revelation of emails it at the state department or fbi, theres a new
revelation thats brought up by some reporter and she has to apologize again for a whole new round of scandals. John mccains daughter i cant believe im going to praise her because shes been highly critical of donald trump said it best yesterday when she said listen, Donald Trumps words are offensive, but what Hillary Clinton has done is lethal. It has put peoples lives at risk. Absolutely not. Well we dont know. The reason why theres an investigation by the fbi on the clintons. There isnt one. Between tying the state department and these issues. To pay for play for someone who hasnt had any knowledge on the international scene, putting him on one of the biggest donors doors, that puts us all at danger. You have to decide, what scares you more, words or actions. Right now, we dont know all of the actions of Hillary Clinton. Thats why this continues to
come up. Maria, you have a time to respond. We know more about Hillary Clinton in the last 30 years than well ever know about any one running for president , number one. Number two, the American People are starting to solidify on what choice they prefer. They prefer somebody who has had 30 years of public service, focusing on making peoples lives better. Who has the knowledge, expertise and temperament to be president versus somebody who has only focused on lining his own pocket at the expense of middle class and working class people who have defrauded people. Who says irresponsible things day in and day out. Myriads of National Security expert from the gop and has said hes a that he say danger to the republic. Weve got to wrap it there. Maria cardona, Scottie Nell Hughes. Well continue at the top of the next hour. Christi. Big night for the pool in
