The heat. Tell wall street, enough is enough. Any surprises that we can look for in the debate . Just between us . Just between us. Good morning, im al sharpton. Two days from the Vice President ial debate and seven days from the next president ial debate. The question is, will the coming week be as bad for donald trump as the past one . Since the debate hes gone back to sounding off, threatening to go low with the clintons. Hillary clinton said some horrible and false things about me, and i would have had the right to have done it, and hes a member of the campaign. Its not like hes not campaigning. Why would that reflect on Hillary Clinton anyway . Well, youll have to figure that out. I think its Pretty Simple to figure that out. Years and decades of clinton corruption and scandal. Corruption and scandals. The clintons are the sordid past. Trump also spent the week attacking the former Miss Universe for her weight and alleging that she filmed a, quote, sex tape. And now, a series of new polls from key battleground states show clinton is leading, and shes made trumps twitter attacks a part of her counterpunch. Who gets up at 3 00 in the morning to engage in a twitter attack against a former Miss Universe . I mean, he hurled as many insults as he could. Really, why does he do things like that . I mean, his latest twitter meltdown is unhinged, even for him. Joining me now, democrat from new york, carolyn maloney, a clinton supporter whose district includes trump tower. Thank you for being here, congresswoman. Thank you for having me, and im feeling so good about my candidate. I was there for the debate. She was confident, she was substantiative, she was positive. She had solutions and a vision of where we need to go together as a nation, stronger together with our allies. I gave her an aplus, and i dont understand why shes not 20 points ahead in the polls. Im going to get to that. She should be 20 points ahead. Not just five and ten. Youve been a very successful congresswoman, really applauded by many of your constituents down through the years, and lawmakers like to help out their constituents. What advice would you give your constituent donald trump, who lives in your district . I would say that everyone should listen to the candidates and not listen so much to what they say, but what theyve done. The comparison between the accomplishments of mrs. Clinton, of secretary clinton, are phenomenal. What about trump, if you could talk to donald trump, youd say what . Donald trump i would say, donald trump, you should endorse Hillary Clinton. We are stronger together, were all new yorkers. Lets all Work Together for the same goal. I tell you, you can say a lot of things about this campaign, al, but one thing you can say, its not boring. I wake up every day and wonder what is he going to do today that is unhinged. I tell you, twittering against a Miss Universe at 3 00 in the morning is really, really unhinged and crazy. Is this the campaigns worst fear, hes become unhinged, off script . It makes absolutely no sense. Number one, hes not running against her. If he was, i tell you, i dont understand it. I dont understand why he would be doing such a thing, and its antiwoman, its anti its disrespectful. Theres nothing to admire in the way hes asking and the way hes talking, and the way even in his career, whats he done to help people . Whats his vision for tomorrow . Even in his speeches he talks about how horrible everything is in america. We have challenges, right, but we Work Together to overcome them and move forward. Hes even said now as we head toward the second debate in a week, hes even implied he may get into personal attacks on even bill clinton. Will that back fire on him, congresswoman . I certainly think america wants to hear about the future, what youve done, what youre going to do, what are your positions, what are your solutions, and thats what you hear from secretary clinton. I love reading her position papers. I work in government, so i want to hear solutions. And they are thoughtful. After we had that terrible attack, it was in my district about two weeks ago when 27 people were hurt by the bomber, within one day she came out with a list of ag things to do to fight homeland security, to make our people safer and stronger, an intelligence surge to understand and have better intelligence to prevent it. Working with all these new hightech firms and to try to combat their twitter wars and their ability to recruit and to communicate with terrorists. So i love the way she has solutions and how her position papers are always thoughtful, and i like the way she listens. When she ran for senator, she began her campaign by going all across our great state. Listening tour. Listening to people. She loves listening to people and hearing their concerns. I think she will be an inclusive, a prepared, and a great president. And as president obama says, shes the best prepared person in his lifetime to run for this important office. So i would urge everyone, including mr. Trump, to vote for her. Congresswoman carolyn maloney, thank you for your time. Thank you for yours and your leadership. Thank you. Now lets bring in rick tyler, former Ted Cruz CampaignCommunications Director and now an msnbc political contributor. Thank you for being here, rick. Hey, rev. Let me ask you, had congresswoman maloney on. Let me ask you, if you were advising donald trump, what would you be telling him after this week that has not been a good week for him . That he needs to focus on the issues, that he should focus on the things that people are upset about Hillary Clinton, which have to do with her email, her secret server, the middle east, her record as secretary of state, her record with the clinton foundation. Theres plenty of things to go on secretary clinton on, and stay disciplined and articulate a vision for the campaign and show people you have a plan to get there. I think more than anything, rev, hes got to prove to be president ial and peoples biggest concern about him is his temperament, yet day after day after day he continues to prove that he does not have the temperament that requires to be president of the united states. Is that the biggest obstacle, rick, to his supporters and advisers, is his lack of discipline, that he seems to not be able to stay on message for any long period of time . I dont know about his supporters, i argue with his supporters all day long on various social media and they are definitely continuing to support him. My point is, as hes a horribly flawed republican candidate who cant stay on message, cant put points on the board against Hillary Clinton, cant debate Hillary Clinton, cant articulate a cohesive foreign policy, domestic policy. Some of his economic policies i actually like and could support, but on the whole, donald trump is just continued to fail as a candidate. I say that as a practitioner, as a political practitioner, hes a failing candidate and every day is getting later and later. Let me bring in, before we run out of time, early last spring he started making some very low level attacks on bill clinton. Let me show you what i mean. I watch Hillary Clinton, the way he talks to women, the way he talks to women. Take a look at her husband and what do you think he talks to women . Shes married to a man who was the worst abuser of women in the history of politics, and hillary was an enabler and she treated these women horribly. In one case its about exposure and another case its about groping and fondling and touching against a womans will. And rape. And rape. If he were to revive those attacks, what would be the impact, rick . Well, all you have to do is look at the past record on this and we litigated this all through the 1990s, rev, you were there. It didnt help the republicans much. I sincerely doubt its going to help the republicans today. In any case, whats this have to do with Hillary Clinton . He keeps saying Hillary Clinton did terrible things to these women. Well, i havent seen any video on that. Havent heard anything on it. Until we see that, but i dont understand, rev, how this helps and benefits his candidacy. Are americans really going to decide who their next commander in chief is, leader of the free world is, based on whether a former Miss Universe gained 55 pounds or 18 pounds . Its really beyond the pale. Talking about lets go to another type of video, because there was a video of mr. Trumps deposition, it was released, where he answered questions about calling some mexican immigrants, quote, rapists. Watch this. With respect to the speech that you made and specifically the focus on mexicans and immigrants, did you write the statement in advance . Was it written . No. And did you plan in advance what you were going to say . Yes. Now, for the campaign, for the Trump Campaign, is this a double whammy for the clinton campaign, where, number one, they remind voters about what he said in the speech about mexicans and they show a video of the candidate they are opposing being deposed . Well, the, you know, if you go back to what he said about the indiana american judge of mexican descent, yes, this is going to remind them of what they said. And, you know, donald trump needs to peel off as many people from Hillary Clinton as possible, that would include latinos, africanamericans, and millennials and hes doing and women, and hes doing none of the above. And the question is, is there really enough angry white men out there to make donald trump president . I think donald trump in this case, and particularly with the Miss Universe, has really become a punch line and hes really become a laughing stock. Thats very hard to recover from, and i think this weeks new yorker cover sort of is emblematic of that, showing donald trump as a beauty pageant queen. Im going to have to leave it there. That cover, though, does say a lot. Rick tyler, thank you for your time this morning. Thanks, rev. Next donald trump hides inside the right wing media bubble. What it means for his campaign. Plus, what to expect from a vp debate. And well hear from the girl in charlotte who spoke out and made america listen. Its a shame that our fathers and mothers are killed and we cant see them anymore. Cure cancer million . Far off. Liver disease treatment. That by voting yes on prop 61 costs. Dollars pass. Dont let that happen. It because one day it might. Over the past few weeks, donald trump has retreated into a fox news bubble. Hes gone on fox 13 times overall. While going on other National Tv Networks just twice. And since july 27th, he hasnt held a single news conference. In that same period, clinton has held ten media briefings. For trump, fox is a safe space, where hes always a winner. Before the debate, trump was on fox falsely claiming that Nbcs Lester Holt is a democrat and saying most of the other moderators are biased. By the way, lesters a democrat. I didnt know that. Its a phoney system. Lesters a democrat. Anderson kecooper, you okay with him, or no . No, because i think he treats me very unfairly. Chris wallace, hes fair, right . Hes fair, hes tough, hes fair. I dont mind, as long as hes fair and ive done a lot of work with chris and never had a problem with him. All right. Thats right, the only moderator trump thinks is fair and balanced is from fox. Joining me now is eric boehlert, senior fellow at media matters for america. Thank you for being here. Thanks for having me. Eric, why has trump retreated to this fox news bubble . I think the main reason he cant answer a lot of questions, right, he cant, as we saw during the debate, questions about his tax returns, questions about the trump foundation, question about why hes a admirer of Vladimir Putin. Fox news dont ask him about his tax returns and the trump foundation. They love Vladimir Putin on fox news, so hes retreated to this bubble. Last press conference, late july, was the one where he seemed to encourage russians to 5 00 democratic emails. That was the last time he stood before the reporters and took their questions. So fox is a place where you can be safe, youre always ahead, always winning. The problem is we saw in the debate he wasnt ready for any tough questions. If you just get softball questions for two months, youre not ready for a national debate. That really does prepare you, but at what cost, what is the cost of him only going on fox and avoiding other media . I mean, didnt romney try that . He tried it, but not to this extent. If you were still running for the republican primary nominee, this would be a really smart strategy, right, sort of superserve the Republican Base on fox, but if youre running for the white house and the fall campaign, theres no persuadable voters on fox news. They are already there. So its just sort of this feel good exercise that youre detached from the reality of american politics. Where hes got to be getting votes, those people arent wa h watching fox news. He won them nine months ago. He doesnt have to persuade them. Talking about fox news, sean hannity, the New York Times reported he sent trump a memo about how to respond to the orlando nightclub attack and then had trump on his show. Watch this. Why cant the president and Hillary Clinton utter the words radical islamic terrorism . Well, they can, but they choose not to, and a lot of people dont understand why. Sean, Hillary Clinton, especially in these times, will be a terrible president. Her secret Service Agent said shes a disaster, total disaster. Now, hannity appeared in a pro trump ad. Is he effectively part of the Trump Campaign at this point . Well, sean hannity, who said moments after the debate donald trump had a very good night, right, so sean hannity is basically de facto trump spokesperson. We can get into the bizarre overlaps between fox news and the Trump Campaign, sean hannity being one, roger ailes now advising the Trump Campaign, then we have a fox anchor thats going to host one of the debates and says hes not going to fact check donald trump, so its a very strange mix. Sean hannity, you know, hes sort of beyond being a journalist, hes clearly just a spokesperson and shes given trump tens of millions of dollars in free tv air time. All right, eric boehlert, thank you for your time this morning. My pleasure. Ahead, can mike pence answer for trump . Can tim kaine defend clinton .

Mike pence as a radio host back in the 90s talking about the clinton scandals of the day. He may get another chance on tuesday night, when he and tim kaine face off in the first and only Vice President ial debate. Millions of curious people will tune in. After all, 28 of voters dont know enough about pence to have an opinion of him. 27 say the same about cain. Pence will likely be put on the spot, made to answer for trumps controversial statements. Heres how hes done it in the past. Are you comfortable with things like the campaign selling buttons and other things that say liar, hillary for prison. I have my own style and donald trump has his own style. Why would you want voters to think you dont pay taxes . Why would you want to leave that impression . This is a businessman. Hes not been consistent on this issue what to do. I think Donald Trumps been completely consistent. Lyin ted and low energy jeb and crooked hilla
