Primary. And something that trump referenced right off the top of his remarks, talking about how it felt good to be back in the state that gave him that victory. We do expect him to take questions after he delivers some of these remarks. Clearly trying to refocus his campaign and message this week on trade and specifically on jobs. I can tell you that Campaign Advisors believe that jobs and immigration are two of the three biggest pillars that are foundational to chumprumps cam. He had a particularly rough june. You saw him sinking in the polls and fundraising numbers compared to Hillary Clinton and you saw him embroiled in controversy that put him at odds with other leaders and the Republican Party and trump struggling to unify republicans behind him. What he are hearing so far from him is nothing particularly different than what we might hear in one of his stump speeches when he talks about trade, when he talks about jobs, listing statistics, trying to make a connection with the invited audience members here and lets keep in mind this is not an event open to the public and something where the New HampshireRepublican Party helped invite folks in. Speaking of the New HampshireRepublican Party, kristin, interesting sighting you and i had been emailing about, former Campaign ManagerCorey Lewandowski, fired about a week and a half ago, is here. We saw him dressed casual, walking inside, maybe chatting with his former boss. Not surprising to see lewandowski here. He will head the delegate team coming from New Hampshire and he loves in New Hampshire. Great nugget there, halle. You raise the fact of poll numbers, trump is still done in polls to Hillary Clinton. He changed his campaign at the top bringing in a new Campaign Manager, in lieu of Corey Lewandowski. What does the campaign say about the latest round of poll numbers . It is what you hear from any candidate that doesnt like the polls. When you hear from mania foralmost a denial that these are bad for trump. Showing him neck and neck in Battle Ground states like ohio and pennsylvania. Trump himself said to me this week and to others that he doesnt believe his campaign gets started until after the convention at the end of july. Thats been kind of the line hes used when you bring up some of these poll numbers that have been slipping but you know, notably i think this week we saw two polls out that showed more than half of republicans want to see a different nominee. So clearly trump still has some work to do to try to bring the rest of the party around him. Undoubtedly. Nbcs halle jackson, great job reporting from hushed tones in New Hampshire. Thanks. For more i want to bring in jessica taylor, a reporter from npr. Thank you for joining me. Really appreciate it. Thank you. Hey, kristin. Hey. Good to see you. I want to pick up there what i was talking about with halle. These poll numbers over the past 48 will hours, almost all of them have had bad news for donald trump. Down four point. Down eight points in real clear politics average. What does he need to do to get back on track . He is making changes but folks are saying hey if he wants it turn this around, he has to change. I think first the thing they need to get is a strategy in place. I think we all thought that was with paul mania for the coming in and finally getting down if the press and getting Rapid Response emails. They seem to be hiring up. They hired communications director. These are things that should have been weeks ago, months ago, that any other nominee would have done. But to make these strides you have to i have think the Building Blocks in place. When he said the campaign doesnt start until after the convention thats preposterous, we live in 24hour cycle like the Clinton Campaign with things in place at the beginning of the year. So yeah they need to do those things but they have to have a ground game in place in Battle Ground states and staff up. They dont want any more of talking about the judge and his mexican background. He has to change his tone as well, i believe, if he wants have appeal in a Battle Ground state like florida or nevada. But the Building Blocks i think are the most concerning things. The money, staff, just the infrastructure is they are lacking in these states that are just shocking at this point in the campaign. And of course Battle Ground states do tell the tale. We have some recent polling there as well. Take a look. Pennsylvania, wisconsin, michigan, all show secretary clinton with a pretty firm lead. You talk about the timing of this, jessica. We are in june, approaching july. Some people say, hey, it is still early. It is just the summer. I mean, is it still early . What do you make of the timing . I mean, can he turn things around . It is not out of the question. But he is essentially been the presumtive nominee for other two months now and he hasnt turn id things around. He hasnt changed his tone. He hasnt even done the things that you would see a typical nominee do. Just last week he was in scotland at a time there was International Concern over the brexit vote. And he is, you know, in maine yesterday campaigning where he was targeting essentially one electoral vote there. This is not the way that you get to 270. I think if you want it hato hav broader structure of how to get there, this is just not the way to do it. One pieces of his strategy we are seeing unfold is very cloer focus on trade. Something that does resonate in a place like New Hampshire. Certainly in ohio as well. What do you make of this new message from donald trump . Yesterday you had president obama touting the virtues of ttp and donald trump says he will rip it up if he is elected. This something that definitely has an appeal in pennsylvania and ohio which i think are the two swing states where he has the best chance to do well in. You have this blue collar reagan democrat appeal where they are skeptical of the trade deals. They feel this ripped away their jobs and plants and manufacturing. He has tap need this unrest there. And i think you know, if they again have to have these Building Blocks in place it make this competitive, but at least to republicans they might not get wiped away there in those states. Thats important because ohio and pennsylvania were probably top two Competitive Senate races. Not just presidency. I think we will get it a point where republicans are just going to worry about keeping he is not rate majority even. If he can, you know, stop the bleeding in those states even, i think that helps them with the senate math as well. Great insight. Nprs jessica taylor. Thank you, really appreciate. We want to turn now to the news out of the object gone. Effectively immediately, lifting the ban on transgender people serving openly in the military. Americans who want to serve and can meet our standards should be afforded the opportunity to compete to do so. After all, our allvolunteer force is built on having the most qualified americans. Im joined by msnbc military analyst general barry mcaftererty. Thank you for being here. Good to be with you. I want your initial reaction to todays historic announcement. Theres an enormous amount of confidence with this secretary of defense ash carter. Very experienced, very thoughtful. I think his last minute decision to apparently extend the timeframe of bringing in the focus was a sound one. So they will move through this. There will be concerns, this is unlike an easy one, unlike lifting dont ask dont tell was fairly straight forward. No problems at all. This one has medical issues involved with it. And some cost issues. So they will have to think carefully about how they implement this in that sense. General, i know have you expressed concerns. Let me tell you a study about the Rand Corporation found that there are just 7,000 transgender troops sefbing in the military. And reference when it cost no more than 8. 4 million and doesnt that refute your point to some extent . Isnt this a way of moving forward . It is clearly a way of moving forward. Thats exactly what we will do on it. But the numbers are all over the map. Are there really 15,000 transgender people . If we open enlistment to stable potential troops who are want to enlist and continue it with their medical treatments, is that an open guarantee, a contract . So there is no question there are issues. So you think the numbers may be a little bit off . Is that what youre arguing . Well, you know, whether it is 15,000 or 1500, theres a medical issue unlike dont ask dont tell. Unlike women in combat arms. This one actually has a cost and a deployment concern. You cant be deployed while youre unstable or undergoing surgical procedures. And the question might also arise, how many transgendered people will enlist just to gain the medical access. That has to be thought through and understood. General, as you know, there are all sorts of concerns about lifting the dont ask dont tell policy and that was done relatively smoothly and counter argument is look if that happened smoothly this can as well. What do you say to those folks who say the concerns about this are really overblown. Certainly on nbc meet the press i was solidly behind lifting dont ask dont tell. We needed to move forward. It hadnt been a problem and shouldnt have been from the start. I blame the administration for waiting for last year of their last year in office to start some of the programs going when it should have happened in the first year. So having said that, unequivocally dont ask dont tell has in issue. This one has medical and deployment considerations. There are 2. 2 million men and women in the armed forces. Active guard reserve. They do need to think through it, put it in writing and decide how they handle it. La about the broader point that secretary made which is if we fight for the rights of people all offer the world we have to protect the rights of our people here. Particularly those who are serving. And there are already a dozen allies who have policies like this. Shouldnt the United States be the leader in terms of this type of policy . Well i think thats exactly where secretary carter has taken us. Putting this behind us before he leaves office and across the board with the armed forces. I want to play you part of an interview that roberts had with beck, former navy seal, who is transgender and now of course running for congress in maryland. Someone i have interviewed. Let me play you that clip and then get your reaction on the other side. Now with implementation, transgender people into the service, while maintaining readiness. And i think the biggest part we need to always emphasize is that military serves a purpose and readiness is the key. Your reaction to that, general . Pretty straight forward. Navy s. E. A. L. Sare part of the force and comments are right on target. Are part of the force and comments are right on target. All right, general, thank you for your insights. Appreciate it. Good to be with you, kristin. Coming up, first look at faces behind the deadly explosion. Moments before it happened. Their identities, however, still unknown as turkish authorities carry out raids taking more than a dozen suspected terrorists into custody. Now questions about whether any of them played a rl in the massacre. Meanwhile, new round of air strikes in iraq targeting isis fighters. What we know about that air assault.

Together, were building a better california. Destroying close to 200 vehicles believed to be carrying isis fighters p. This is a according to a senior iraqi official. The Iraq Ministry of defense released this video purr for thing to shot attack which was a joint effort by u. S. And iraqi forces. A u. S. Official speaking to nbc on condition. Anonymity has said an of the mated 240 people may have been killed in the air strikes. Turning now to that massive investigation into this weeks deadly terror attack in istanbul. New photo circulating appears to show the three attackers walking into an airport just moments before they struck the International Terminal killing 44 people. Turkish officials now telling nbc they know the attackers are russia speaker from russia, uzbekistan and kerk stan respectively. These attacks are part after series raids on suspected isis sites. Matt bradley has been tracking the latest on this. What is the latest on the investigation, matt . It is just like what you said. They all come from countries with their fierce insurge ensis. This is very indicative of the kind of Islamic State militant populating the upper ranks of the group. We dont know if the people are arrest ordered thought to be behind this particular incident behind me. We dont know if they were part of a larger investigation into turkey into operatives here in turkey. We simply dont have that information yet. What we do know is that drag nets typically tend to follow attacks against turkish sites. Matt, let me ask you about these nine arrests of people with suspect had ties to isis. How much concern is thereabout how far their reach may be and are you hearing anything about any more arrest . We havent heard anything more about any arrests, kristin. But islamingc state is thought go through turkey. There are six attacks in the past year by Islamic State. And credited to Islamic State. Rarely do they claim attacks theyve made against Turkish Military sites. Just a year ago, the turkish governments allowed u. S. To fly missions from their bases here in southern turkey. So that basically one year since turkey has been full on in the fight against Islamic State. Before that, they were thought to be turning a blind eye to the group. All right. Nbcs matt bradley with the very latest on the ground in istanbul. Matt, thanks for your great reporting. Appreciate it. Here at home, u. S. Secretary of Homeland Security jay johnson is making sure there are appropriate security measures. Take a listen. Here in the homeland since brussels, we have enhanced security at airports around the nation. Since the brussels attack in march, our viper teams have been more pronounced in general. And the American Public should expect to see this july fourth weekend, enhanced Security Press enat airports, train stations, and other Transit Centers across the country. By tsa and state and local Law Enforcement as well as security personnel generally. Nbcs Steve Paterson is live at lax. Steve, take us inside lax. How busy is it there and whoots t whats the mood . What are travellers telling you . Kristin, this is the International Terminal. It is life as usual with an extra set of eyes and more machinery. Visibility is the key thing here with security and Security Officials we have been speaking with. Not so much procedure as it is posturing. We have seen a lot more police, more k9 units. For more guys with assaultstyle weapons. Combing up and down aisles here at arrival and departure terminals here at lax. We have been talking to passengers and people taking off on flights. One of them is here. Her name is nancy. Where are you flying . To tokyo. Are you concerned at all by seeing the terrorist attack . Knowing what is happening month after month and now this . Yeah, i mean, were concerned. But were not going to let it stop us from flying. The security right now is probably much tighter than it was before this happened. So what have you seen as far as security . You travel often. I do. I travel a lot. So what have you seen so far thats changed since this attack . Sin the last attack . Yes. Thats interesting. There have been k9 and more people policing. And like when youre in london you see the soldiers in the airport with weapons and everything. But here you dont generally see that too much. Maybe when you come through customs on the way out. But today ive seen probably three just standing here for maybe 20 minutes. Does that concern you to walk into an International Terminal and to know what is happening . To see the increased presence .
