The cleanup continues across louisiana after severe flooding. Donald trump drawing contrasts with president obama after touring the devastation. And new details this morning about a suicide bombing at a wedding in turkey. What were learning this morning about the young attacker. It is monday, august 22nd. Good to be with you. We begin this morning with donald trump, struggling in the polls with minority voters, he crisscrossed the eastern part of the country. Over the course of several speeches, he made a direct appeal to africanamerican voters. And though hes polling in Single Digits in key swing states he tried to grab once more the mantel of the party of lincoln. Id like to address an issue of great and very deep personal importance to me. No group in america has been more harmed by Hillary Clintons policies than africanamericans. If Hillary Clintons goal was to inflict pain on the Africanamerican Community, she could not have done a better job. We reject the bigotry of Hillary Clinton, who sees people of color only as votes, not as human beings worthy of a better future. Hillary clinton would rather provide a job to a refugee from overseas than to give that job to unemployed africanamerican youth in cities like detroit, who have become refugees in their own country. What do you have to lose . Youre living in poverty, your schools are no good, you have no jobs. 58 of your youth is unemployed. What the hell do you have to lose . The Clinton Campaign responded in a statement saying, in part, donald trump asked what the Africanamerican Community has to lose by voting for him. The answer is everything from a man who questions the citizenship of the first africanamerican president , courts White Supremacists and has been sued for housing discrimination against communities of color. Donald trump is also working to court hispanic voters with reports he may be shifting his prior mass deportation for undocumented immigrants. Trump meant with his newly created Hispanic Advisory Council on saturday at trump tower in new york city. Three of the members of that group spoke with nbc latino after the meeting, describing trump as open minded, and saying he asked for their ideas, on how to address the estimated 11 Million People in the country without legal status. They added they expect him to offer more details on his plan in colorado later this week. Buzzfeed and univision reported that trump was planning to reverse course on his immigration policy suggesting that he was open to legalization for undocumented immigrants. His campaign disputed that report. And a Clinton Campaign went after trump releasing a statement that reads in part, we believe the rnc official in the room, the Campaign Statement after the meeting, and the candidate himself, that Donald Trumps immigration plan remains the same as its always been. Tear apart families and deport 16 Million People from the United States. That statement cites trump conversation with morning joe last november. How do you deport 12 million how do you deport 12 million Illegal Immigrants . You do it. Because theyre here illegally. You do it. Are you going to have a massive Deportation Force . Youre going to have a Deportation Force and youre going to do it humanely. And youre going to bring the country and frankly the people, because you have some excellent, wonderful people, some fantastic people that have been here for a long period of time. People will face ramifications people will leave. Theyre here illegally. How are you going to pay for this . Its very inexpensively are they going to be ripped out of their homes, how . Theyre going back where they came. If they came from a certain country theyre going to be brought back to their country. Thats the way its supposed to be. They can come back but they have to come back legally. They can come back but they have to come back legally. Yesterday trumps new Campaign Manager Kellyanne Conway faced questions over trumps immigration plan including that conversation with morning joe. What he supports is to make sure that you enforce the law, that we are respectful of those americans who are looking for wellpaying jobs, and that we are fair and humane for those who live among us in this country. And as the weeks unfold, as the weeks unfold, he will lay out the specifics of that plan that he would implement as president of the United States. Will that plan include a Deportation Force, the kind that he just you just heard in that sound bite and that he talked about during the republican primaries . To be determined. Frances, its been a difficult summer in baton rouge, louisiana, to say the very least. The city has seen a string of tragedies, including the officerinvolved shooting death of alton sterling, three Police Officers killed in an ambush and last weeks devastating floods. After facing waves of criticism for being on vacation during the flooding, response president obama will now travel to the hardhit area tomorrow. Donald trump toured the flood damage on friday, handing out food and supplies, according to his Campaign Trump also donated 100,000 to a louisiana church. Later on friday he criticized president obamas absence during a rally in michigan. It was actually incredible. The spirit of the people is incredible. The devastation likewise, theyve never seen anything like it. But the spirit of the people is incredible, and honestly, obama ought to get off the golf course and get down there. And Hillary Clinton, meanwhile, has sent an email to supporters asking that they donate to flood relief efforts. Donald trump and his surrogates arent letting up on claims that Hillary Clinton lacks the physical fitness to be commander in chief. Former new york city mayor Rudy Giuliani encouraged voters to look up online videos while trump this weekend once again brought up an issue with clintons energy. She will never be able to fix the isis problem that her policies created. But one thing she doesnt have the strength or the stamina, coupled with all of the other problems that this country has. She has an entire media empire that constantly demonizes donald trump, and fails to point out that she hasnt had a press conference in 300 days, 200 days, 100 days, i dont know how long. Fails to point out several signs of illness by her. All youve got to do is go online her campaign and the people defending her are saying theres nothing factual to the claims about her health. And that go online and thats speculation at best. Go online and put down Hillary Clinton illness, take a look at the videos for yourself. People are concerned about it across the country. Look, our own who . Voters, poppy, voters. I mean about Hillary Clintons health . About her stamina. When she is only campaigned 11 days in the month of august, and donald trump to one person outside of yourself i guess who is concerned about Hillary Clintons health right now . Obviously Rudy Giuliani. She has had an incident where she fell and had a major concussion, and then she had a blood clot in her head. A very serious blood clot. I mean thats something to be concerned about. That was years ago and shes been cleared by her doctors. And you know what let me say this, the nfl has had major lawsuits from players having concussion years ago. It is a serious issue, and the people want it answered. He has said that she doesnt have the strength or the stamina for a very long time. That part is nothing new. Whats new are the other reports of the observations of Hillary Clintons behavior and mannerisms, specifically with what you just showed in those previous clips, as well as her dysphasia, the fact that shes fallen, she has had hold on theres no indication that shes fallen lets just step back for one second. And we should once again note that Hillary Clintons doctor says she is in excellent physical condition. Her spokesman meanwhile hit back at Rudy Giuliani said google rudy and health and you can read about how he withdrew about the senate race for clinton. The mayor did quit that race battling prostate cancer. Nbc news has been told that what clinton told the fbi seems to have been largely based on a memo emailed to her describing how he used his personal aol account for unclassified emails, and a state Department System for classified material. But now powell tells people magazine, quote, her people have been trying to pin it on me. The truth is, she was using the private email server for a year before i sent her a memo telling her what i did. The article goes on, why does the former diplomat believe this to be the case . Why do you think . He said. It doesnt bother me. But its okay, im free. Now reporting on the advice first came from the New York Times, sourcing her fbi conversations, in an upcoming book. The book retails a conversation among former secretaries of state at a dinner. Party hosted by Madeleine Albright where powell also reportedly suggested clinton use personal email. Powell told nbc news he had no recollection of that conversation. 51 people are dead and 69 others injured after a child suicide bomber detonated an explosive at a wedding in southeastern turkey near the Syrian Border on saturday.
