Arbor. President obama will deliver remarks at an event in philadelphia and Chelsea Clinton will take part in an Opening Ceremony for a Clinton Campaign office in ceremony of a campus durham, North Carolina. I am alex witt alongside betty nguyen. Hillary clinton has been running a hatefilled and negative campaign with no policy, no solutions, and no new ideas. By contrast, i have been going around the country offering very detailed plans for reform and change. All of these reform plans are available on our website, and there i theyre extensive. He said that in North Carolina last night. Let me just say, unbelievable. Come on, you got to hes
giving specifics and policy while she has no policy. No policy at all. Remember the Matt Lauer Forum, like, what was that, about eight years ago . He actually said at one point in there, he said you know what would be great, he would say it would be great if the military had his own judicial system. Has he never seen a few good men, tom cruise, what is that. Cyou cant handle the truth. Im not going to show you that. The websites by the Associated Press came up with the opposite, and trump had seven issues with 9,000 words in
proposals. Big words. And Hillary Clinton had 38 issues and nearly 113,000 words on policy, and more than 12 times her words were not as fantastic he uses big words. I cant believe this is the republican nominee. Here we go. Wind it up. Wind it up. He doesnt drink. Nothing onstage and on the air. Its horrible. Nothing to say. Wind her up and let her go. They go crazy over one kind of difficult line that Hillary Clinton had, and everything he says is either horrible, stunning, insulting, or incredibly ignorant. Everything. Heres the thing about mika that i found, she never resorts to generalizations. You tell me something he has said that makes you think he
might love this country and want to leave it in a good way. Yeah, he said over the weekend the iranians surrounded any of our boats that we would blow them out of the water. Thank you, mike. I dont do this very often, and i am not sure would you please defend donald trump. No, but his supporters that took the stage last night. They were great. The truth is, democrats are concerned about the last ten days, and shes not attacking trump, shes attacking his supporters, and whoever you are thats not a good strategy. And you are not saying anything about trump. I am not answering your question, okay. I am happy to go back to bed if that bugs you. His saw poeupporters taking the last night was a compelling mow pplt that is there anything he said that is smart, that is based on policy . Hes saying enough things that are connecting that he is
neck and neck hes not ahead of her and its not this close, but its a competitive race, and he is saying enough that is connecting. The thing is, again, so much of it has to do with the fact that sam stein, not that donald trump is lbj in policy or jfk as far as inspiration or Ronald Reagan as far as vision goes, and a lot of it is hes not Hillary Clinton. And people are running and going, they are racist, racist, racist, and so much of it ignores the fact that half of the vote is just a vote against Hillary Clinton because of the things that many think she has done over the past 40 years that many republicans believe are deplorable. Its not a vote against clinton, but its a vote against established republicans and wall street and et cetera. Theres no policy, and we should confront that and anytime he puts out a policy he will then, ten days later, take a different position. I think that, you know, we need to reconcile and deplorable statements. If we elect donald trump, we dont really know, and even on immigration, we dont know what we are getting. Because he changes it every 12 hours. Mike barnicle, i saw Charles Kramer a week ago and it stuck out at me that kraut hammer said, Hillary Clinton can never talk about policy, and she can put as much as he wants on websites and she can try to say this week i will talk about education, but she can never do it because theres a different cut every day in the press, a different story about emails or
about the foundation or about the staff or about this or that, and so the democratic side, you have a policyfree campaign, and she cant go out and talk about policy in a way that sticks, and then on the republican side, you have donald trump who is running on the force shear force of his personality. This is a policyfree zone and we can put up as many words as we want but on both sides, neither messages are getting through. Because this campaign is now, i would statement, more than 90 about distrust among people. They distrust both candidates and secretary clinton is out there each and every day and every time she appears, no matter what she says whether its a big set speech in policy, and what the public perceives about her is this baggage that she carries. 30 years of baggage. And its like they are carrying around 30 years of baggage, and going, uhg, and then she stops and says another bowling ball, sir. Can you put in another, please . For instance, she is sick the other day. We all understand people get sick, right. Come on, people. Come on, campaign. And David Axelrod, and this is the clinton problem, you cant bully the press and not lie to the world and not be caught for six months or a year, and David Axelrod tweets, what is the cure of an unhealthy pinch for privacy. Thats been my complain about the campaign for two years or for as long as the campaign has been together. The transparency issue is a real problem, and i said this candidate is flawed and the baggage that you so beautifully acted out for us. I have to say we lowered the ball. It all goes back to oliver. More porridge . Sorry, mika. Thats okay, sam. We can do it all day. You have to admit, though, its shakespearen, actually her . No, my accent. I just got back from manchester. Is that too late for an oscar nomination. An emmy, yeah. We lowered the bar so low on donald trump, and i just think that we should take the same word we are hearing out there, they are sort of clowning around with and touting people onstage
and doing whatever they can do because they are seizing on one thing so desperately because they have nothing, and donald trump, everything he says is deplorable in its ignorance enough of the over generalizatio generalizations. Do you want me to get specific . I am happy to. I could give a list of people know the statements. They do . I dont think they think of them in context. Lets move forward and theres a david duke clip and that will remind everybody and donald trump said he did not know who he was. He came roaring back that half of his supporters bough long in a basket of deplorables. What kind of basket is that . Lathe point became something for donald trump backers. Can we show that picture again . What clinton has done, create add community of people who will proudly put that sign on, and ae littists can turn their nose up, but if somebody was running against me andalled my supporters deplorables, i would print that up and look at those women, a lot of people out there like nicole, and a lot of people that will proud their wear that shirt, and they are not racist or bigots and they do not want Hillary Clinton to be the
president of the United States and will fight like hell to stop it. Thats what i was trying to say. Donald trump jr. Tweeted an image of a trump rally, it says hraobgsz like we are going to need a bigger basket. Thats funny. And as nicole mentioned, last night trump invited supporters onstage to respond to clintons deplorables dig. These are not deplorable people, i can tell you. Come on over. My wife and i represent nondeplorable people. I am probably a lot of things, deplorable is not one of them, i assure you. We are going to make America Great again. And hillary needs to take a nap. After all the horrible scandals that Hillary Clinton has been involved in and she has the gall to call us deplorable,
and its unbelievable. He gave me a hat after months of hiding from the press, Hillary Clinton came out and finally told the world how she feels about the people of this country. She talks about people like they are objects, not human beings. She said half of our supporters are reredeemable and not american. She describes the other half of having run out of options. Hillary clinton spoke with hatred in her heart for these working class americans. Absolute hatred in her heart. She looks down on the people who cook her meals and drive her cars and dig the coal that power her electricity. And its simple, wants to bully the American Voter out of voting for change. This is fantastic, nicole. You get tshirts and talk about
it and get the individuals up there, and you say, hey, they are not deplorable. Right . Reminds me of a campaign you were involved in in 2008, where but on the other side. Here you pick out people that are not racist or seana phobic. News agencies would go through the entire crowd praying to the news gods they could find a sign saying, look, this person said that barack obama was a socialists. You can always find a bad apple or somebody deplorable in any politicians crowd. And you can always find somebody good. My only point was, the road to the white house does not find itself insulting 25 of the
population, and the road to the white house winds through a sustained attack on your abonant. What are the numbers for Trump Supporters . On some of the policies . The muslim ban. Donald trump, i will say, has a lot of nerve talking about hatred in Hillary Clintons heart when he talks about we checked the make sure he had not play jurized. She made a smart speech about his connection to the kkk, and thats where she should go. Last night on cnn at 5 00, mike pence was given an opportunity to denounce on david duke. We have the found for that
and we will run it. You have mexican rapists he talked about, and you have what he said about muslims, the muslim band, straight out of germany, 1933. You can go to specifics. Yeah, women bleeding out of their eyes wherever. You can go on and on and get specific there. It is the candidate, obviously, but theres also duh phaupb strawbly an uptick in racism from people supporting donald trump. I get the antisemitic emails in my inbox all the time, and other reporters covering the Donald Trump Campaign are receiving sreut tree annual no. Its true. That is on a different level
during this campaign. Let me tell you something. In 2008, i could say barack obama was the greatest person that jesus ever produced and could speak better than fdr, and et cetera, et cetera, et cetera, and i but he should wear a red tie instead of a blue tie, and the hatred that was spewed towards me in 2008 was like nothing i have ever seen before in my life. I understand, and we were sort of positive towards bernie, and i understand the hatred and the animosity and the vitriol, especially towards women from some of Bernie Sanders supporters, it was over the top, and so this happens all around. I think what we have to look at, though, are objective numbers, and mika, thats exactly what Dana Millbank did, you can look
and see how many tend to support racist views. Dana writes in the washington post, yes, half of Trump Supporters are racist and Hillary Clinton may have been unwise to say half of donald Trump Supporters are racist and others deplorables, but she was not wrong. Few people embrace the racist label. If you are very enthusiastic about a candidate who has based his candidate, and employed antisemitic imagery, well, you might be a racist. But if you are holding your nose and supporting trump only because you think him better than clinton, that doesnt put you in the basket. The New Washington post abc news poll finds the two groups equal. The rest were somewhat or not terribly enthusiastic, which, joe, leads me back to you because you said something fascinating yesterday, and you are the only person what did you say . Oh, my god, i slept through it. You said hello you said it might have been strategic on her part, and is that a safe way of putting it . I said this at the end of the day could be strae taepbtegic. And so after paris, trump will Say Something outrageous, and barack obama may have known something, and here she says, half of the supporters are deplorable, and it forces
everybody to look at it, and the poll from yesterday showed the last time the polls were taken in the primaries, an outrageous ly high number. If you are a muslim, you have to check in instead of the star of david maybe they put another patch on you, and an outrageous number, and they said though wanted to make islam illegal in the United States. You can call that a lot of things, okay, and i call it deplorable you want to ban a religion from the United States because you dont understand it. I think Hillary Clinton, if this debate continues may be on to something. You got questions like mike pence got. You respond to this. This is the type of thing that makes you die inside. Or lose. This is why Hillary Clinton may have done what Hillary Clinton did. Donald trump has denounced david duke repeatedly and we dont you called him a deplorable . No, i am not in the name calling business, wolf. You know me better than that. What Hillary Clinton did was shocking, and the people who support donald trump are not a basket of everything, they are americans. So you now have mike pence refusing to call the imperial grand wizard of the ku klux klan, and a man donald trump claimed he did not even know earlier in the campaign, refused to call him, quote, deplorable. I guess by their definition,
nobody is deplorable. Certainly Vladimir Putin, not only is not deplorable, hes a boyfriend. You can go down the list. Listen, Hillary Clinton standing up the other night and calling out racism and everything like that, thats a good thing. Yeah. But blaming it on voters is a bad thing. Right. That was a mistake. Right. On the other hand, and Dana Millbanks piece, i respect him very much, and a vast majority of the people that go to the trump rallies, you have been at the rallies and i have been at the rallies, and you cant decipher what they are saying, and lot of the supporters feel the system, and the candidates for every office have not been speaking to their needs and
their lives donald trump speaks to them in a way nobody else does. Thats what they hear. You cant blame for what they are hearing. I do think its important to call it racism where it is, and that means noting that a portion, not half, because its not half, and a portion of his base is racist, and i think she erred in saying they were irredeemable, she is saying i dont even want to talk to them, and i think thats the problem. Mike pence, first of all, why cant donald trump say anything bad about david duke the day before super tuesday, and why cant mike pence on september 12th, 2016, yesterday, why cant he say that david duke is deplorable . What is wrong with him . I have no idea. And if thats the hard question,
and the question about the supporters is more complicated. Why take my point is not that theres racist in his camp, of course, there are, and my point is the political argument. She is not going to win joe biden came on your show in philadelphia and he did not offend any Trump Supporters, and he spoke directly to economic despair in the country as a motivator to people being attracted to trump, and thats where hillary should go as a political matter, and calling trump out for racism and that is that a sweet spot, but attack his supporters for whatever reason, whatever the poll something, its stupid politics. And so far joe biden is the only one that understands that vote and understands in pennsylvania and in ohio and in wisconsin, she needs to not offend people on the fence. When we were interviewing joe biden in philadelphia, and remember what he said about working class americans in the democratic part . You could hear a pen drop. We need to Start Talking to working class democrats, and if you want to take offense by what Hillary Clinton said, you may pile on. You may not be a trump supporter yet you are offended on their behalf. Still ahead on morning joe, you will hear from Hillary Clinton back pushing back on transparency complaints on her campaign over her health. And then advising donald trump on tax policy. He has a tax policy . What . You mean does donald trump have a tax policy . Yeah. It changes. Larry will know. And tax the rich, dont tax the rich. And his new headline making book on bill clinton. We have to do something about that problem and the best thing we can do is set up a quick system within the military and right now the quick system practically did not exist. You want answers. You cant handle the truth
i should have gotten some rest sooner and i probably would have been better off if i just pulled down my schedule on friday, but like a lot of people i just thought i could keep Going Forward and power through it and obviously that didnt work out so well. Compare everything you know about me with my opponent. I think its time he met the same level of disclosure i have for years. You have a medical report on me that meets the same standard as mitt romney and barack obama. Donald trumps doctor said he would be the health
