Coming up, well have our justice correspondent Pete Williams joining us more. Well bring you to that Live Press Event as soon as it begins on msnbc. Now to Donald Trumps latest controversial remarks with battleground polling showing a pretty difficult road ahead. Trump facing calls for his ouster as republican nominee all because of these most recent comments from a North Carolina rally on tuesday. Take a look. Hillary wants toessentially amendment. By the way, if she gets to pick her judges, nothing you can do, folks. Although the Second Amendment people, maybe there is, i dont know. But i tell you what, that will be a horrible day. Democrats and many conservatives have condemned those remarks. They interpret the comments to mean trump was inciting violence against a possible future president clinton. On his twitter feed and via campaign statement, trump says no. While speaking to a news affiliate he said its simply a get out the vote call to Second Amendment supporters and activists. I think youre talking about the power of people that are in favor of the Second Amendment, and they have tremendous political power, and i think they really are strong. Theyre united. In fact, the National RifleAssociation Just came out and they agree that is absolutely the way they feel, too. The Second Amendment people have tremendous power because theyre so united. Ive seen statements from democrats so far who have equated it to condoning violence. Not what that was . Oh, no. Its political power. Several trump surrogates have backed the vergs of comments that they are focused on pre election efforts to thwart Hillary Clinton. However, a closer reading of the words perhaps suggests otherwise. Many observers have noted that the line if she gets the pick her judges strongly meant a sitting president clinton, not a candidate clinton. The secret service says they are aware of the comments. Clinton campaign issued a statement saying, this is simple, what trump is saying is dangerous. A person seeking to be the president of the United States should not suggest violence in any way. Katy, four days ago trump thanked a key adviser, al bald sar row, he said clinton should be shot for treason, coming as crowds chant lock her up. He calls the system rigged. What do your sources inside the campaign say about this latest controversy . First of all, when donald trump thanked the Campaign Advisor that called for Hillary Clinton to be put in front of a firing squad, it harkened back to when donald trump publicly thanked Cory Lewandowski after he was accused of assaulting a reporter. Donald trump seems to be supporting somebody coming under controversy. The campaign is forcefully pushing back on this idea that he was inspiring violence, trying to say he was inspiring voters. But the issue with that, thomas, is donald trump, if he hasnt condoned violence in the past during this past 14 months of his campaign, he certainly hasnt condemned it forcefully. Weve heard him joke about killing journalists. Weve heard him joke about shooting people on fifth avenue. Weve heard him call on supporters who beat up a hispanic homeless man passionate. Call other supporters who beat up protesters at his rallies passionate. We heard him talk about paying for the legal fees of a man who sucker punched a protester in fayetteville, North Carolina. He has not specifically condemned violence. Thats why so few are giving him the benefit of the doubt when it comes to what he was saying about Hillary Clinton yesterday. Theres such worry out there right now he might have been inspiring somebody to go on the attack. Despite the caveats, there was an editorial in the New York Times saying a lot of folks arent necessarily hearing those caveats. Theyre hearing donald trump call Hillary Clinton a trader. Saying shes dangerous and will want to take it into their own hands. Its the same thing that happened with the assassination of it sack rabin in israel. The campaign is trying to push back, trying to distance themselves on that. This morning with Rudy Giuliani talking to fox news and yesterday when governor pence was asked about it. Take a listen. You dont believe he was inferring any violence relating to Hillary Clinton . Of course not, no. Donald trump is urging people around this country to act in a manner consist accident with their convictions in the course of this election. What he said very clearly was, if anyone were elected president , she would get to a point with judges in the Supreme Court and among the other things they would do to destroy us would be to do away with the Second Amendment and your right to bear arms. Reporter the issue here is these headlines are taking away from negative headlines on Hillary Clinton. Ha is what has gop strategists so frustrated, what has aides frustrated. They want to refocus the attention on Hillary Clinton. This morning a new batch of emails out showing questionable links between the state department and the Clinton Foundation, except the issue for the Trump Campaign is everybody is talking about whether he was trying to insight an assassination attempt against his rival if she were to get into office. That is the frustration the gop is having right now. Their candidate cant seem to stop stepping on his own tail. Really facht. There was a person sitting behind donald trump reacting to the comments when he made that suggestion about if and second rights amendment folks and what they might do. What are you hearing from people on the trail . To trump supporters, is there a backlash . Trump supporters are vehement in their support of donald trump. They truly believe that, if theres not a conspiracy to bring him down, ha the media is not on his side. They pushed back against the idea that he said something he should not have said. When you ask them, point blank, if theres any advice to give their candidate, every person ive spoken to has said they would like him to move away from the controversies, to focus on the issues that matter to them and hes strong on stuff like the economy, job creation, national security. The reason theyre supporting trump in general. Isnt there a real tripup when we think about, if trump is staying on message and talking about Supreme Court appointments and staying focused on Hillary Clinton, those are two big things they want him to dorks focus on clinton, focus on what matters about vacancies within the Supreme Court. We have an open seat right now and the potential of four people retiring coming up within the next four years. Those are two big things that the base wants him to stay on focus with. Reporter yeah, and they are. Theyre happy he was staying on focus. But the issue with donald trump is when he goes off script, he add libs and addlibs things that get him into trouble. The idea that hes going to change is something that fewer and fewer people are believing. That comes to the gop, they want donald trump to stay on message. The problem with donald trump is he has shown up until now an inability to do so, even when he is on message, he goes off script and gets himself into trouble and worries them for, if he were to be elected, if he was in the white house, what would he say that might set off a hostile nation or a semi hostile nation like russia. What would he say in diplomatic negotiations with a country like iran. If he cant keep his mouth shut on the campaign trail, there is worry among operatives and even among some of his supporters, his most ardent supporters that hes not going to be able to change when it comes to sitting in the white house, sitting in the oval office. Donald trump has said, thomas, repeatedly, he can be the most president ial person out there, you would be so bored with him being so president ial, but up until now, he hasnt shown it. Katy tur in sunrise, florida. I want to bring in rick tyler, msnbc political analyst and a man who has worked on Many Republican campaigns, most recently ted cruz. First, rick, your reaction. How do you interpret those words . I think its a little overblown. Candidate obama once said, if they bring a knife, ill bring a gun. Quote from a movie. No one thought he was really going to bring a gun. The reason people are making a lot out of it is donald trump has incited violence in the past. This is one of those things where, what did he really mean . Second amendment people, they dont support it because it allows them to insight violence. Second amendment people want the Second Amendment because it allows them to protect themselves and their families from violence. Even if it was a joke, a misunderstanding of whose Second Amendment supporters are. They dont go out and commit crimes. They owe bay the law. The worst part is, thomas, he stepped on the dominant story of the day which would have been the shooter of the pulse, largest mass killing by a firearm in the United States. His father was behind Hillary Clinton at her rally. That by any measure would have been a dominant story. Yet donald trump did it again, took away the dominant story that would have hurt Hillary Clinton. The Campaign Came out condemning the actions of the pulse shooter, saying they had no idea this dad was coming to that rally. Obviously hes a person living in america, free to show up wherever he wants to. They had no contact with him. Yes, the optics of that, right over her shoulder, not very good. I do want to play you paul ryans initial reaction. This was after his victory in wisconsin yesterday for his primary about what trump said. Ive been a little busy today. I heard about this Second Amendment quote. It sounds like just a joke gone bad. I hope he clears it up quickly. You should never joke about Something Like that. I didnt hear the comments, only heard about the comments. So a joke gone bad. How does the campaign continue to say that the whole campaign is not a joke gone bad when theyre constantly trying to clean up a mess and say, oh, yeah, we can be the most president ial ever. Just wait and see. When does that day really come . Theres a length of time that were not here hashing out over the word if or what he said or how he meant it. There needs to be a point where it really stays on focus with 90 days to go. Thomas, i said for months donald trump is not going to change. This is what we can expect. Theres never going to be a day where he decides and becomes more president ial or boring. Do you think its good, the surrogates, people say, well, hes not a politician. He is the gop nominee. He is effectively a politician. I agree with you. Hes earned his army stripes in getting there so far through the political battles he faced through the primary. He is technically a politician. He is a politician, the potential head of the Republican Party and represents the values of the Republican Party. Unfortunately all these other candidates on paul ryan on a daily basis have to go out and explain this stuff. What youll see is people are beginning to peel off because Donald Trumps candidacy is becoming a black hole. People want to avoid the gaf terrible vortex into nothines nothingness. If he wants to stop that sort of thing, he needs to be focused and disciplined. I want to bring in jason osborne, republican strategist, donald trump supporter and former senior federal liaison for the nra. Based on the remarks by donald trump, do you think he is painting nra folks, those that are in support of what it means to have legal firearms in a bad light now . No. I think this whole thing, this whole concept that donald trump stepped on his message is completely ridiculous. As an nra member and somebody that worked at the nra for several years, i knew exactly what he was talking about. Theres over 5 million members of the nra that are motivated to protect the Second Amendment. For him to say that theres nothing that can be done except maybe the Second Amendment folks can help out, that means them mobilizing on the grassroots level, sending letters in, making phone calls, visiting their elected officials and saying enough is enough. We need to stop judges from coming in that are bad for the Second Amendment. So when it comes to what donald trump is saying about Hillary Clinton and her policies, in specific regard to gun policy in america from Hillary Clinton, expanding background checks, remove gun industries sweeping illegal protections for illegal, irresponsible actions. Keep guns out of the hands of domestic abusers or other violent criminals or the severely mentally ill. Thats a far cry from him painting her as a gun grabber. Theres no question that Hillary Clinton has a record of reaching out and trying to lessen the impact thats not abolishing the Second Amendment. Every single time we go into congress and there has to be a shooting, they come out with a policy plan that has nothing to do with what just happened. We had the tragedy in orlando, and immediately they come out and say we need to have background checks at gun shows. This was not a gun show problem. This is an issue the problem we have in america right now is we have an instant check system thats underfunded, not complete with the records from the states. Weve had battles with the democrats and liberals in congress to stop us from putting the Mental Health records of individuals in the database. So when you come out and say that immediately after a shooting, im surp
