Donald trump and mike pence are not. But some Bernie Sanders supporters are criticizing the pick as a sellout to moderates. Ill talk to sanders and get his reaction on that. Joining me for insight and analysis are msnbcs Rachel Maddow. Former chairman of the rnc michael steele. Nbc news chief Foreign Affairs correspondent andrea mitchell, and host of hardball and philadelphia hometown boy chris matthews. Trump, sanders, reaction to the new democratic ticket. Welcome to sunday and a special edition of meet the press at the Democratic National convention. From philadelphia, this is a special edition of meet the press with chuck todd. Good sunday morning, we are at the Wells Fargo Center here in south philadelphia, home of the 76ers and the flyers, democrats have begun to arrive with a pretty mad heat wave and beginning tomorrow, they will gather to officially nominate Hillary Clinton as their president ial candidate. Yesterday clinton was joined by her running mate, tim kaine in virginia in an upbeat event notable by the contrast to the disorganized rollout of Donald Trumps running mate a week earlier, mike pence. Hillary clinton, she doesnt insult people, she listens to them. What a novel concept, right . She doesnt trash our allies, she respects them and shell always have our backs, that is something im rock solid sure of. We will get to reaction to the new democratic ticket later in the show including my interview with Bernie Sanders of vermont in a moment but first, well talk about sanders about the wikileak emails and what they may say about dnc favoritism towards Hillary Clinton. But we begin with the man thats taken control of the republican party. Its nominee, donald trump. I traveled to Trump National golf club in new jersey, sort of his weekend get away last night for a facetoface interview since dropping nominee. Trumps tax returns, proposed restrictions on muslim immigration and why he says he alone can fix the countrys problems, but i began asking him how it feels to be the republican nominee for president of the United States. Well, it really feels great and we really have a very unified party other than a very small group of people that frankly lost and we have a very unified party. You saw that the other night with the love in the room and the enthusiasm in the room. The enthusiasm. There are people that say they never seen anything like that was going on, especially thursday night. I got to ask you about your entrance before we get serious. That monday night entrance was something else. I know you got a lot of feedback. I got lucky and a couple peopled a that idea and i went along with the idea and everything just worked right and it was so good that they wanted to do it on thursday night. I said never in a million years because youll never get it that way again. I dont think ive seen that even on wwe. I know. Vince is a good friend of mine and called me and said that was a very, very good entrance. I didnt want to do it a second time, never works out the second time. Lets go into the speech. I want to put meat on the bones. Lets talk about youve seen some of the positive reviews, some of the negative reviews. Some of the negative is it was a little dark. Thats the only thing they said. What would you say . Not morning in america. What would you say to that . The only negativity and i call them the haters and thats fine, but the only negative reviews were a little dark, and the following day they had another attack and then today you see what happened in afghanistan with many, many people killed. They have no idea how many. So many killed. Yesterday was munich, and, you know, i know they are saying maybe it wasnt terrorism. Maybe it was just a crazy guy but in the meantime hes screaming allahu akbar as hes shooting people and people say maybe it wasnt dark at all. Only, the only thing that some people said, it was a little dark and tough. Did you think it was a little dark . No, to me it was an optimistic speech. What makes it optimistic . Because were going to solve the problems. Sure, i talk about the problems but were going to solve the problems. One of the phrases, i alone can fix it. And some people that sounded almost too strong mannish for them. Do you understand that criticism . And what do you make of it . Part of it was im comparing myself to hillary and we know hillary and we look at her record. Her record has been a disaster. And i am running against hillary. Not like im running against the rest of the world. I know people very, very capable that could do a good job but never get elected. I can give you ten names of people that would do an extraordinary job but could never get elected. They wouldnt know where to begin but for governing, they would be good. Im running against one person. You said there would be consequences for any company that tried to move a factory. Absolutely, so simple. You bring up carry so simple what explain i understand that. Explain the consequence. Here is the consequence. What would it be . They come in and announce they are moving to mexico and fire people in indiana and say hi, here we are, mexico, enjoy the plant and the rest of your life and hire people from mexico. They make their product and put it into the United States where well have a very Strong Border but put it into the United States and we dont charge them tax. There will be a tax to be paid. If they are going to fire their people, move their plant to mexico, build air conditioners and think they will sell them to the United States, there will be a tax. What kind of tax are you thinking . Could be 25 , 30 , 15 . I havent determined. It could be different for different companies. Weve been working on trying to stop this government because we dont know what they are doing. Not only obama. They have been trying to stop this before obama. They tried lowinterest loans, zero interest some of these things wont get through the world trade organization. Doesnt matter. Well renegotiate or pull out. These trade deals are a disaster, chuck. World trade organization is a disaster you know the concern on some of this is it would rattle the world economy. Look what brexit did . What did it do . The stock market is higher now than when it happened. Im the only one of all these people at the higher level of the Wonderful World of politics, im the only one that said brexit is going to happen. I said i think they will improve it. They want independence and not people pouring into their country. You think a fractured europe is good for america . No, no, but were spending a lot of money in europe. Dont forget, europe got together, why primarily did they get together . To beat the United States when it comes to making money. In other words, on trade. Economic okay. Now we talk about europe like they are wonderful. I love europe. I have property in europe. Im just saying the reason that it got together was like a consortium so it could compete with the United States youre saying this stuff is good for america if its not good for europe. Look at airbus. They got together, all of these countries got together so they could beat the United States. Okay . So were in competition. So you know, were in competition in one way and helping them in one way. Its so messed up. The muslim ban. I think you pulled back but you tell me. We Must Immediately suspend immigration from any nation that has been compromised by terrorism until such time as proven vetting mechanisms have been put in place. This feels like a slight rollback. I dont think should we interpret it as that . I dont think so. In fact, you could say its an expansion. Im looking at terrorists. People were so upset when i used the word muslim. Oh, you cant use the word muslim. Remember this. Im okay with that because im talking territory instead of muslim. But just remember this, our constitution is great. But it doesnt necessarily give us the right to commit suicide, okay . We have a religious, everybody wants to be protected and thats great and thats a wonderful part of our constitution. I view it differently. Why are we committing suicide . Why are we doing that . I love with our constitution. I love our constitution. I cherish our constitution. Were making it territorial. We have nations and will come out with a number of the places and its very complex. I was going to say we have problems in germany and france. I was going to ask that. Would this limit immigration from france . What were going to have they have been compromised by terrorism. Its their fault because they allowed people so you would toughen up. Youre basically saying hey, french want to come over here, you have to go through an extra check . Its their fault because they allowed people over years to come into their territory and thats why brexit happened. The uk said were tired of this stuff. Listen to this. You can get to the point where youre not allowing a lot of people to come into this country. Maybe we get to that point. Look what is happening. Look what took place in afghanistan where they blow up a whole shopping center. They have no idea how many people were even killed. Happened today. So we have to be smart and we have to be vigilant and be strong. We cant be the stupid people. France, germany, spain, places that have been compromised. Here is what i want. All right. Extreme vetting. Tough word. Extreme vetting. What does that look like . Tough. Were going to have tough standards. Give me one. If a person cant prove they are from an area and if a person cant prove what they have to be able to prove, they are not coming into this country and i would stop the syrian migration and the syrian from coming into this country in two seconds. Hillary clinton wants to take 550 more people coming in from that area than barack obama. I think shes crazy. I think shes crazy. We have no idea who these people are for the most part and you know you dont i seen them on different shows but more importantly, i read about it and studied it. There is no way you can vet some of these people. There is no way. Law enforcement officials, ive had them in my office and talked to them. You realize some of these folks have nowhere to go. They are truly victims of the civil war. What do you do with them . We will help them and we will build safe havens over in syria. We in the United States are going to build these we will get gulf states to pay for it because were going to have 21 trillion very soon. Trillion. In debt. We will do safe havens and safe zones in syria and we will get nations that are so wealthy that are not doing anything, they are not doing much, they have nothing but money, and you know who im talking about, the gulf states and get them to pay for it. We would lead it but i dont want to pay because our country is going down the tubes. We owe too much money. Let me move to something with nato. Mitch mcconnell said this about your remarks the new york times. He said it was a rookie mistake and once you let me finish the comment here. Its a rookie mistake and proves that trump needs People Like Us around to help steer him in the right direction on some basic things. Hes 100 wrong. Okay . Hes 100 wrong if he said that. I didnt hear him say he did say that. Fine. If he said that, hes 100 wrong and frankly, its sad. We have nato and we have many countries that arent paying for what they are supposed to be paying, which is already too little but not paying anyway and were giving them a free ride or a ride where they owe us tremendous amounts of money and have the money but they are not paying it. You know why . So is there estonia is paying. If they get invaded by russia, youre there . I feel differently. Hasnt done the 2 . We have countries that arent paying and this goes beyond nato because we take care of japan. We take care of germany and south korea and saudi arabia and we lose on everything. We lose on everything. If Mitch Mcconnell says that, hes wrong. All im saying is they have to pay. Now, a country gets invaded. They havent paid. Everyone said oh, but we have a treaty. They have a treaty, too. They are supposed to be paying. We have countries within nato taking advantage of us. With me, i believe they are going to pay and when they pay, im a big believer in nato. If they dont pay chuck, this isnt 40 years ago. This isnt 50 years ago. Its not 30 years ago. Were a different country today. Were much weaker. Our military is depleted. We owe tremendous amounts of money. We have to be reimbursed. We can no longer be the stupid country. When we come back, what donald trump says about david duke, Bernie Sanders and whether he really plans to spend millions for the sole purpose of defeating ted cruz and john kasich. And later i talk to Bernie Sanders about trump and his reaction to tim kaine becoming Hillary Clintons running mate. Were in philadelphia, site of the Democratic National convention. Stay with us. You can fly across welcome town in minutes16, or across the globe in under an hour. Whole communities are living on mars and solar satellites provide earth with unlimited clean power. In less than a century, boeing took the world from seaplanes to space planes, across the universe and beyond. And if you thought that was amazing, you just wait. And i quit smoking with im chantix. I had a lot of doubts going in. I was a smoker. Hands down, it was, thats who i was. After one week of chantix, i knew i could quit. Along with support, Chantix Varenicline is proven to help people quit smoking. Chantix definitely helped reduce my urge to smoke. Some people had changes in behavior, thinking or mood, hostility, agitation, depressed mood and suicidal thoughts or actions while taking or after stopping chantix. Some had seizures while taking chantix. If you have any of these, stop chantix and call your doctor right away. Tell your doctor about any history of Mental Health problems, which could get worse or of seizures. Dont take chantix if youve had a serious allergic or skin reaction to it. If you have these, stop chantix and call your doctor right away as some can be lifethreatening. Tell your doctor if you have heart or blood vessel problems, or develop new or worse symptoms. Get medical help right away if you have symptoms of a heart attack or stroke. Decrease alcohol use while taking chantix. Use caution when driving or operating machinery. Most common sideaffect is nausea. Life as a nonsmoker is a whole lot of fun. Ask your doctor if chantix is right for you. Such a beautiful city here. Welcome back. More of my interview with donald trump in new jersey and since we had a limited amount of time, i ended up speeding things up by asking trump for Quick Reaction to simple some prominent names in the news. Im going to literally throw out a name and youll know the question im asking. Bernie sanders. Great respect for what hes done. He has been taken advantage of and frankly, the system was rigged and im the first one to say it, was rigged against him. You took after him. You took after him for supporting Hillary Clinton. Im not a fan of Bernie Sanders but i am a fan of one thing he talks about, trade. Hes the on one on that side that understands trade. He cant do anything about it because thats not his thing. But he has been gamed. He has been its a rigged system against him, and what happened with the joys of tim kaine was a slp in the face to Bernie Sanders and everybody. I was shocked. I love it from my standpoint. Why do you love the kaine pick . He took over 160,000 in gifts and they werent gifts, suits and trips and lots of different things. Legal. Legal in the state of virginia. Mcdonald had to go to the United StatesSupreme Court they proved kid proquo. Excuse me, Bob Mcdonnell took a fraction of what kaine took and i think to me its a big problem. Now how do you take all these gifts . Hundreds of thousands of dollars. The other thing about him. Hes bought and owned by the banks. And the third thing, hes in favor of tpp and every other trade deal hes looked at and that means he wants people not to work. Now, he is going to change his tune, and i understand hes now going to say im against tpp. Hillary clinton was totally in favor of tpp, which is a job killer, right . So is he. When she watched me on your show and other shows, all of a sudden she changed because she knows she cant win that in a debate. All right. Ted cruz amended, are you really going to fund a super pack to help defeat hillary in 2018. Not the number one thing on my mind. Whats on my mind is beating Hillary Clinton. Whats on my mind is winning for the republican party. With that being said, yeah, ill probably do a super pac, you know, when they run against kasich. Okay. For 10 to 20 million against ted cruz. All right. And maybe one other person that im thinking about. Who is that one other person. Hes actually such a small person i hate to give him the publicity. Yes, i will probably do that at the appropriate time but im not going to do that give me the small person here. Dont worry about it. Well give it to you another time. Let me ask you about this one. David duke announced his Senate Candidacy claiming your agenda for his own, essentially saying glad that you spoke out. Are you ready before you ask the question . Newt gingrich said every republican should repudiate. I did and i do. Would you support a democrat over david duke. Depending who the democrat would be but the answer is yes. As quick as you can say it i went to answer you totally last time with another person in your position, i did it very quickly and they said he didnt do it fast enough. Rebuked. Is that okay . Done. Okay. Tax returns, a lot of conspiracy theories are being out there about why you whats in your tax return . You would get rid of the conspiracy theories tomo
