You know what my response is to that . Im with you, the american people. For the first time in his campaign, the mainstream liberal media giving the republican nominee his due. They acknowledged trumps president ial tone today. Npr said, quote, trump just gave the speech republicans have been waiting 20 years to hear. Cbs news says donald trump assails incompetent Hillary Clinton and fiery speech and the hill says trs trump moves. He gave a scathing report on the secretary of state. He accused her of milks millions of dollars on oppressive regimes to benefit the clinton foundation. Hillary clinton wants to bring in people who believes women should be enslaved and gays put to death. Maybe her motivation lies among the more than 1,000 foreign donations hillary failed to disclose while at the state department. Hillary clinton may be the most corrupt person ever to seek the presidency of the united states. To assess mr. Trumps speech today and the clinton repost to the two candidates and their well, at least at this point, their campaigns were joined by the chairman of the american kmooun matt schlapp, cohost of the five, contributor to the hill, juan williams. Great to have you both with us. Let me start with you, matt. It looked to me as though mr. Trump has found focus and he also had energy. What did you make of his speech. I think its long overdue. You know, he announced the fact he would give this speech before the terrible tragedy in orlando, and it is exactly what republicans want to hear. Lou, the facts are every day that donald trump talks about our economic security, our National Security, and the complete failure of the clintons in government and the fact that shes under fbi investigation is the day hes going to be winning on the campaign trail. Every day hes not talk about those three things, hes going to be off message and losing. Do you agree, juan . I think he had a good week. This is the week you saw Corey Lewandowski whos more of the bulldog, the pit bull if you will pushed out. Paul manafort more of the washington, d. C. , political establishment taking power of the donald trump operation. His daughter had a hand in forcing out lewandowski. Today trump was on the teleprompter and he was staying on script. Hes more president ial. You do acknowledge hes coming across far more president ial, quote unquote. Today. Yeah. Today. And as matt said, this is the speech republicans want to hear. I dont know if this goes to the point, lou, that hes actually speaking to democrats and libertarians that he needs to flip some of those states. I saw a man reaching out with, i would guess, some grtd success of getting attention of those who did support sanders, at least we were told by the polls, at least half of them. Right. Yeah, no. And youve got promising state polls that are coming up. I would take issue with what juan said. This is an unconventional president ial campaign to say the least, but i think all of the drama and personalities inside the campaign are not as important as the fact that when donald trump talks about our overall insecurity and the prospects with trying to look for a job out of school, theyre terrible, and he really does connect. Look, juan. Hes connecting to republicans, to conservatives, to unemployed liberals, to moderates, to just plain old americans who look at america, its role in the economy nationally and their ks and grandkids cant get the wages and jobs they need. Hes connecting on it big time,nd it could be one of the top two issues in this case. I think one of the things that lou touched on earlier is sanders supporters. Sanders was on cspan saying he knows hes not the nominee. And he also said trump is not going to getmy backers because of his antiworker bigoted comments. How is he going to talk about the young people struggling for work or economic recovery has been stuck in low gear. Can i say something, matt, before you respond sure. And to juan. Antiworker . This is the first republican president ial nominee in our lifetimes whos mentioned the middle class, who has mentioned the working man and woman in this country and their families and talked about how he is going to reach out to all of them. Hes talking about stimulating small business. Hes not talking about k street, the chamber of commerce, and the business roundtable. Do you disagree with that, matt . No, i dont disagree with that at all. In fact, think i we have a certain economic arrogance not only the Republican Party but with a lot of the leaders in both parties where we can shed jobs and we can shed sectors and because americas so big, that we need to have the security relations around the globe, and were okay with the cheating and the deck being stacked zbejtsz the American Worker in sector after sector. I think what donald trump is saying is, hey, look, america cant afford to be arrogant anymore. We cant shed it because we dont have the jobs and Economic Activity to shed. I think hes putting america on notice. This is what Hillary Clinton said in her speech. She said, this guy is making false promises. Come on, come on. You cant turn back the clock on globalization and trade and not think america is going to become isolated. No, no, juan. This is false. The fact is this. Hillary clinton is more of the same. What donald trump is saying is theres going to be a whole new way of approaching these things. It means if we have these markets, they will be more free when his deals are done. If you look at many of these deals tell me how, matt, because there is no substance. Thats wrong. When you see the trump economic plan analyzed, people say its going to drive up the debt and drive up unemployment and fuel jobs for america. Can i tell you every one of those people saying that, juan, no matter what their degrees are, the initials behind their names, theyre working for one multinational corporation, theyre working for a university receiving grants for it, theyre in their pockets. Its one of the great problems we have. Trump is talking about a rigged election, rigged system. He had to talk about whats good for americans. Putting americans first. That rhetoric, bernie sanders, if he had come up with a such a title for his rhetoric, he might have been able to win the nomination, i really believe that. Yeah. I agree. I like what youre saying and i like that trump raises the middle class, but where . Where is the actual you dont care about the policy, lou. You want another politician just making promises. Oh, yeah. We havent gotten used to that. Im saying. Why do we want another one . Quickly, lets go through these policies. Quickly, if you will, matt. The fact that we shed all these coal jobs because of the ridiculous policy and the fact that minimum wage will kill Fast Food Industries where Young Americans and new americans get their first job. Its killing jobs, juan, and weve got to stop it. Okay. So, matt, hes going to cut taxes. He talks about the middle clachls get who gets the big tax cuts . The very rich. He doesnt talk about how hes going to make that up in terms of something lou cares deeply about. The growing debt in this country. He has not put the gears in place to back up the rhetoric. I think youre quite right. He hasnt put the policies into play, into effect, but thats not what we expect of a candidate. What we expect from a candidate is a vision, and hes starting to draw that, and i think in brighter, clearer terms with every speech he makes. Matt and juan, thank you both for being here. By the way, hes a disrupter, juan. Hes raising a lot of hell too. Thank you, gentlemen. Stay with us. A lot more straight ahead. Coming up, my interview with donald trump where else . Trump tower in manhattan. We discuss other things in what he contends is a daily assault be the National Libya media. And new polls that show the race with clinton tightening. People thought she would have had a much bigger margin. The margin is very tight. In ohio, its very even. Nationwide were doing well against her.

We took up a number of issues from radical islamic terrorism and the middle class, a return to prosperity, and just who will be the best candidate to create jobs as president. Heres that interview. One year ago you had just set upon what come called a quick soughtic adventure, one serious. Youre now the nominee, and you are besieged from every direction. Youre in a fight with part of the republican establishment, the democratic establishment, the party, and the National Liberal media. Ive never seen the like of it, and ive been covering president ial politics if nearly 40 years. Youre right. As we were just saying, Ronald Reagan went through a lot, but people are saying it wasnt as bad as this. Other than that, ill hear of other analogies. Id think i have a big victory and the next day its like its terrible news. The dishonorty of the media not all of it but most of it is beyond belief. I think the amazing thing is you see all the polls coming out and one of the anchors from one of the networks said, whoa. They couldnt believe i was right there. Were tied in ohio and essentiallypennsylvania. Very close. Six to seven points. Five points. Frankly its very early. So early. Many are writing this thing is over because were almost a month from the convention. This is just beginning. For me its just beginning. When i first started with the 17 total people that we had, i started at nothing and rapidly wept up. Y that was not very much different except we had a lot of people here. I had 17 16 opponents. I will tell you, ive about never seen more unfair press coverage. Teen New York Times when they did the story on the women and they came out and said donald trump is a great guy and that wasnt what we were saying and that wasnt our thoughts, they were totally discredited. They retracted it. They saw it and apologized as much as they can. It was ridiculous. It was a front page story. And how nice were those women to come forward and say, thats not what he said. They were remarkable people. So, you know, i have Great Respect for what happened, but its very unfair from the medias standpoint. Youve restructured your campaign, a shakeup at the top. Is this the reset that you have allowed people to speculate about . Is there going to be one, and if so, what direction . Well, corey did a very good job. Hes a great guy, and im very proud of him. I watched him the way hes handled it. Its a hard thing for somebody. He handled it so beautifully. We got the largest vote in the history of the republican politics by a lot. Almost 14 million votes. And 37 states. Had big victories. This is different. This is much nastier. I cant believe it. I thought it would be easier. Did you think it would be easier . I thought it without but everyone who knew said it was going to be more vicious because the press is dishonest. Is the republican establishment dishonest or number of them . Ill let you know in a couple of weeks. Im disappointed in some. Ive had so many great calls. Darrell issa called. So many are so with me. Many, they dont write theyre with me. Jeff sessions, if you take a look at him, hes a rock. So solid and highly respected. Ted cruz. Hes a solid rock. There are others. But if theres one a little bit out or in some cases like lindsey graham, i competed against him and obviously i did well against him to put it mildly. Boy, he is nasty. People forget. Theres like a twoweek span. People forget that i was competing against lindsey graham, but he is nasty. You reached out to him, have you not . No, he called me. Okay. I respected the call. I thought he was good. He was nice for a week and then went nasty again. Nature is a funny thing. Losing is not easy. Right. A lot of people dont know he lost. Now he sits there as a senator from south carolina. There are 16 people out there you beat. Theres one more for you to beat. When you talk about nasty, she has a machine that is nasty, effecti effective, tough and tried. She was beaten by barack obama. How are you going to beat her. I think i will. She has had the best week shes ever had and theres verilile difference in the polls. Youre seeing that. Thats what the shock was today. Whoa, whats going on. They thought the number would be a lot different than it was, but it isnt. We have a group of people, millions and millions of people. You saw what happened in the primaries, so many more voted as they did four years ago. I think were going to do very well. I think its going to be a big beautiful surprise, and that probably started today. People thought she would have had a much bigger margin. The margin is very tight. In pennsylvania its very even. Were doing great in florida. But nationwide were doing well against her, but i think were going to do very well. Some of our reporters . Washington covering the campaign took note that this was the first day of Paul Manafort being in charge. You said there are actually very distinct differences. And amongst those differences are the amount of p. R. Releases and statements coming out of your campaign. Is that what you expected . First of all, i have to tell you paul and corey god along very well. Theyre very different people and handled different parts nchl that sense, there was not a problem at all. I think i was responsible for a lot of what took place today. The last time i heard her speerks u. It was read at best. Now shes doing another speech and she just did it. I said now when she lies, we have to counteract the lie. The last time she kept lying and telling untruths. She talked about the military and japan and all of the other things and didnt say it the way i said it. It was a total untruth. I said this time as she lies, were going to counteract it. I hope you noticed. She did break into speech a lot. Its also said one day youll be following her speech and tomorrow it will be Hillary Clinton. Were going to come back and get a preview if you may of what youre going to focus on as you address the former secretary. Well be right back after these messages with donald trump. There are two billion people who dont have access to basic banking, but that is changing. At temenos, with the microsoft cloud, we can enable a banker to travel to the most remote locations with nothing but a phone and a tablet. Everywhere where theres a phone, you have a bank. Now a person is able to start a business, and employ somebody for the first time. The microsoft cloud helped us to bring banking to ten Million People in just two years. Its transforming our world. This clean was like pow. Everything well . It felt like i had just gone to the dentist. My teeth are glowing. They are so white. 6x cleaning , 6x whiteninga in the certain spots that i get very sensitive. I really notice a difference. And at two weeks superior sensitivity relief to sensodyne i actually really like the two steps step 1 cleans and relieves sensitivity, step 2 whitens. Its the whole package. No ones done this. Crest healthy, beautiful smiles for life. Were back with donald trump, and youll be addressing tomorrow Hillary Clinton in a speech. It turns out to be a rebuttal because she went today. What you do you plan to focus o . Look. Shes had a very bad time of it, if you look at her record. Her record is a disaster. In terms of taking tens and tens of millions of things from people in lots of different ways and countries that should not be giving her or her husband money. We talk about that and her record. Her record is terrible. Shes crooked hillary. Lets face it. Shes crooked hillary. She always has been and she hasnt changed. Last time she spoke, i let her speak. So many of the things she said were outright lies, fabrications. I said, this time were going to cover it point by point and were going to do it after the speech. And then sometime later in the week, i head out to europe, to scotland, where i open the great turnberry report and we come back. I love this. Were having a great time campaigning. We want to keep her as honest as possible, which is not easy to do. Youre focused on Hillary Clinton. Youre the first republican president ial presumptive nominee to focus on the middle class, working on the men and women of the middle class. Thats what im doing. The first. And you have a unique appeal to independents as well as to the republicans that youve brought into the primary process. Where do you take that message on illegal immigration, working men and women, job creation, and restoring prosperity . Wages. Just wages. Lou, you look at one of the most incredible statistics. For the last 18 years, people havent had a real wage increase. In some cases theyre working two jobs and making less money than they used to make. A lot of the parttime jobs with obamacare which is a disaster and we plan to repeal and change. The other day we had a speech in texas. We had a line. I dont know if you good to see it. The longest line going into oracle arena or a convention center. I have never seen anything like it. We had 5,000 seats but tens of thousands not able to get in. It was covered very strongly with helicopters. Theres something weve hit. We hit a cord. People are tired of incompetence, of being ripped off. In some cases its not incompetence. Politicians want to have their friends run businesses and corporations. Its a stupid deal to do. We have the greatest country and were losing our jobs, our money, everything, and our country is not going to be able to continue to do this. We have trade deficits at hundreds of billions of dollars a year, so were going to change that quickly. And in supporting the middle class, men and women, jobs and wages, youre taking on the business establishment. Thats true. Youre taking on corporate america. Yes. Youre taking on two Business Practices in particular. The yaufr shoring of production to other cheap labor markets and economies, the exporting of jobs, outsourcing jobs. When you talk about taking on business, im here to help business. Weve given the largest tax reduction to anybody. By far. Hillary has to raise taxes to 55 or 60 . Theres no way she
