Hurt people who made the mistake of doing business with donald trump. In response, donald trump the took a turn at the microphone in a rally to cincinnati. I hesitate to call it a speech because that would imply there was some organization to the thought that he presented and, in fact, thoughts might be too strong a word for what we heard from donald trump. Imagine, just imagine the frustration of the Trump Campaign staff on this day when Hillary Clinton launched such an effective attack on donald trump. Imagine the Trump Campaigns frustration when donald trump got up on the stage and actually talked about chuck todd more than he talked about Hillary Clinton. So if you go to your television, youll see live a pretty terrific event right here in cincinnati. I hate saddam how sane, but he was good at killing terrorists. It looks like were sooilg seeing a guy who is unhinged. Isnt he supposed to be some kind of amazing businessman . Have you all seen this . Its a star. They say its the star of david. I have a soninlaw who is jewish. These are sick people. Theyre bad people. Thats not the star of david. Thats just a star. This is a ram blging variety show. The democrats ooh, there was a mosquito. What the in the world happened here . We like news. This guy is going to kick over the table. Newt, newt. It rambles, it wanders. Theres a guy on meet the press called sleepy eyed chuck todd. He made more swipes at chuck todd than he did at headquarter had headquarter in this speech. He bankrupted his companies not once donald trump is a bad person. Not twice donald trump made a lot of money in Atlantic City, but he hurt the little people. She calls them the little people. But four times. It is the same scam over and over again. Isnt it nice when you dont read from a speech . This is the last word on campaign 2016. Donald trump had a job to do in ohio and tell that he had a job to do, an assignment. Because the Trump Campaign gave him a piece of paper to take on stage for him for his 60minute speech. Any other would have had 20 or 30 pieces of paper to which the entire speech would have been written for the candidate. But not donald trump. The campaign gave him just one piece of paper because they knew thats all he can manage. Thats all he can handle, one piece of paper. That piece of paper had the message the campaign wanted to drill home tonight and it was message that no other president ial campaign in history has ever had. A message about the very sharp criticisms that the director of the fbi leveled against Donald Trumps opponent yesterday. Donald trump is the first candidate for president in history who has been handed a Public Statement from the director of the fbi that is critical of his opponent. In any other candidates hands, that piece of paper would be campaign gold. Donald trump began by he reading some of the things that the fbi director said about Hillary Clinton yesterday, but he seemed to bore himself with the fbi directors words and donald trump very quickly changed the subject. To one of chuck todd. Chuck todd and Saddam Hussein. And donald trump actually spent more time talking about chuck todd than he spoke about the fbi director or Hillary Clinton. Theres a guy on meet the press called sleepy eyes chuck todd. Does anybody ever the guy was dying on meet the press a year ago, a while ago. He was dying. Nobody watching meet the press. I wake up, i turn the television. Donald trump loves Saddam Hussein. He loves Saddam Hussein. And actually put a press release out. Now the people that saw it say it was great, but they are liars. These are bad people. These are bad peel. And what i did say and what i did say is that he was good at one thing. He was really good at killing terrorists. He didnt wait around. Do you think they gave the terrorists trials that lasted 18 years . And then after 18 years if they had the right lawyer, they erect a statue in honor of the terrorists, right . Not with trump. Joining us now, mall conmantz, former counterterrorism intelligent officer. Malco malcolm, there are so many things in had that speech i want to get to. But the first thing i want to do is talk to you about what donald trump said about Saddam Hussein and terrorists. Your reaction to that . You know, i think it was the writer, Fran Lebowitz who came up with the great saying, think before you speak and read before you think. This is one circumstance in which clearly donald trump has no clue about what hes talking about with iraq, Saddam Hussein ask treatment of terrorists. As a matter of fact, one of the most famous incidents or i should say infamous incidents against people who would later become our allies, the Popular Union of occurred stan and the kurdistan party, were gassed by Saddam Hussein as terrorists during a Genocidal Campaign in the 1980s. And this was done because he considered all of those rogue sections of the country and he wanted to eliminate what he considered the terrorists from his country. And so, in fact, in saddam how sanes iraq, there werent any of what we now call terrorists. Well, certainly not the people who are islamic extremist terrorists that we see today. As a matter of fact, weeks before the invasion of iraq in 2003, saddam put out an allhands call to the muslim world asking for anyone to come to iraq and defend iraq. And one of the groups that answered that call was a very small Jordanian Group called monotheism in holy war. And it was a led by a young protege of osama bin laden. In the predayses of an invasion, went to falluja, got all the weapons and equipment they could ham, all the sxloess and safe houses they can handle. They let the americans flow through iraq and in august of that year, 2003, started carrying out massive terrorism, which to this day has not ended. So saddam how sane was a sponsor of terrorism. Not a he did not kill terrorists in the free world period. Mall connance, thank you very much. Just wanted to start with that fact check tonight. Thank you. My pleasure. Were joined now by michael steele, and rick wills yn. Now lets give chuck todd the moment here. On morning joe this morning that got donald trump started tonight. And ive got to say, in an hourlong speech, without chuck todd, it would have been half an hour. Maybe 27 minutes. Lets listen to what chuck said on morning joe that started this whole speech. It was an unbelievable day. It is a i am sort of stunned at how badly Donald Trumps botching what is, to me, a gift. Youre saying bringing up saddam how sane and saying he was really good at killing terrorists is not on that day, probably not. Maybe tomorrow. Maybe tomorrow phrasing saddam how sane is a good idea. But maybe yesterday i would have held michael steele, its not just praising Saddam Hussein. Hes completely wrong about what hes saying saddam how sane did. Yeah. I mean, you know, the history is the history. The facts are the facts as mr. Nance laid out very quickly. And i think that this is part of an overall narrative that, you know, ive said it over and over again. This campaign has to get the grip on the facts, the reality you can stop saying it. Im just you can skip that. Okay. All right. Can we skip that part . Okay. We can just put it on a screen or the audience, that thing youve said 300 times. I have to agree with chuck. I mean, you have the fbi director giving you, here is a happy welcome cake to the president ial election. And thats not the conversation were having today. You have republicans around the country who are itching, talking about this subject, but thats not the conversation theyre having because theyre talking about donald trump talking about saddam how sane. If this is the course of going into this convention, coming out of this convention, its going to be very difficult to get a campaign on track. Thats the bottom line. And he spent much more time tonight talking about the star of david and talking about the tweet that his campaign let it he go. Sent out. Much more about that than about Hillary Clinton. Lets listen to what he said about that. Its a star. And it actually looks like a sheriffs star, but i dont know. And behind it, they had money. Oh, but theres money behind it. So actually, theyre racially profiling. Theyre profiling, not us. Why are they bringing this up . Why do they bring it up . They have the star, which is fine. You shouldnt have taken it down. You know, with they took the star down. I said too bad. You should have left it up. I would have rather defended it. Just leave it up. He doesnt know the language of the discussion. He never wants to be ant antisemantic because apparently he doesnt know what that means. Lets put up on the screen if we have it the tweet the Trump Campaign sent out, which they li lifted directly from not that. Not that tweet. The one that got this story started. Thats the one he put up tonight trying to justify and stay with the tweet. Here is the original one. Listed directly as we know and has been proven from an antisemitic website, no confusion about that, rick. And what he seems to want to communicate is i absolutely will not back down from this. And at some point, is it fair to interpret that donald trump is saying to the antisemitic vote out there, whatever size it is, im your guy. Well, look, this is a guy who retweeted them consistently, who relies now on themg as part of his play here. And the fact of the matter is, this is a guy who got himself very hesitant to denounce the klan when it was brought to him, hesitate to denounce david duke. Now hes playing games with this and playing footsy with this. It would have been easy to take advantage of a gorgeous slow pitch over the plate from comey yesterday and to try to turn yesterday into a day where he was for once on message and not stricken with his usual trump verbalal dysentery. But he spent the last 24 hours blowing the one opportunity hes going to get to try on to litigate what happened with Hillary Clinton yesterday and the fact that she wasnt mugshoted into something to turn his campaign around. But instead, its been chuck todd, a consistent dig in on the star of david on a pile of cash which, gosh, no one would pick up what that symbolism means. And the double and triple dunn and try to snatch defeat from the jaws of what could have been a couple of decent days for him. Its no wonderful hes having trouble finding a Vice President ial candidate. Tonight, on this star of david, on that tweet, he ended up big saying they should have left it up. His campaign should have left up that tweet. He would have rather defended and just leave it up. Now, the campaign and donald trump, presumably, made the decision this is bad, this tweet is bad. Weve got to take it down. But thats yesterday. Today he says nothing wrong with it. We should have left it up. Probably how that unfolded was he was not a part of the decision to take it down, which is why he made the statement that he did. Leave it up so i can defend it. But we dont want you defending that. We dont want you talking about that. We want you to talk about what rick was just talking about. We want you to talk about the 30,000 jobs that were created in the month of may. We want you to talk about the ig report. There are so many other bubbles of excitement out there that you can get the base and the party galvanized around, moving into this convention and then out of that convention into a full throated, you know, argument against Hillary Clinton wanting to be president. And, rick, hillary goes to Atlantic City today, very effective appearance in front of the one of the bankrupted casinos. Tonight is Donald Trumps chance to respond to Hillary Clinton in Atlantic City. We counted it, 17 seconds he made reference to Atlantic City. 17 seconds with not any real defense about what Hillary Clinton said there today. And, instead, he spent all his time on chuck todd, saddam how sane, on the star of david, all of these things. And that and you saw him holding that piece of paper that he started the speech with. He was holding that piece of paper with the fbi directors comments on it and you could tell, he couldnt wait to get it out of his hands. He just couldnt wait to get rid of that thing so that he could go do his whatever you call that thing that he did for 50 minutes. Lawrence, the guy has the Attention Span of a gnat on meth. He has no discipline, no selffocus. There is something wrong with his focus where he has an opportunity to litigate an issue against Hillary Clinton and when it comes down to talking about mosquitoes flying around him and the guy has absolutely no personal dislynn. It is a terrifying prospect if youre a republican for the next couple of weeks, you happen, trying to wait and see what happens between now and the convention. These delegates that are getting nervous at the convention, theyve been held in place by riots in the others. But theyre thinking to themselves, how crazy is the show going to get every day . Before we close this segment, wall street journal reporting the antitrump at the convention needs the backing of 28 of the 112 members of the Convention Rules committee in order to get a vote of the full convention on possibly unbinding the delegates. And they have calculated that there is about 890 delegates who are loyal to trump, 680 who oppose trump and 900 delegates who are presumed to be in play. Michael, according to the wall street journal tonight, theres a possibility. Its a possibility, but that will be very hard. Because at the end of the day, because he is now in had control of this convention and the party, his people will sack on that committee. So thats going to be tough. The rnc is are going to have to play with donald trump on this. They cant break from trump. The rnc cant do that. That combination alone will put a it will be hard to get those 28 votes. And i had trouble following what donald trump said tonight, but don king is not going to be on the committee, right . No. He said don king was going to be a speaker and bobby knight, is he on the committee or hes a speaker. Hes a speaker. And the family members are on speakers. Michael steele and rick wilson, thank you both very much. Thank you. Up next, Hillary Clinton goes to the trump taj mahal and says there is one thing that you should really listen to, one thing that donald trump says that everyone really should believe. And good trump bad truthful. Donald trumps son, eric, usually plays good trump to Donald Trumps bad trump. Today was a case, though, of bad trump bad trump. And we will have the latest on the killing in baton rouge, louisiana, of the killing by police. Mirafiber is less likely to cause unwanted gas. Love your fiber. New mirafiber. Breaking news tonight from chris hayes show and chris hayes interview with bernie sanders. I am also on record and will do everything that i can, chris and im a pretty hard worker at these things to make sure that donald trump does not become president of the United States of america. Because that will be an unmitigated disaster, not only for our country, but for the world. So im going to do that. I think at the end of the day, there is going to be a coming together and were going to go Forward Together and not only defeat trump, but defeat him badly. So thats key. Youre not denying reports there are talks about a possible endorsement . Thats correct. Up next, Hillary Clinton explores the ruins of the trump taj mahal in Atlantic City. Donald trump the casino operator sounded an awful lot like donald trump the president ial candidate. Were going to make this hotel and casino and resort the most successful in the world, by far. And i look forward to it. We love you. Your our tam. And is a year later, just a year later, donald trump files for bankruptcy on that casino. Thats right. It only took him a year to run it into the ground and thats a story Hillary Clinton wants American Voters to hear. Thats why she went to Atlantic City today and talked about the casino that donald trump promised to make the most successful in the world and then ran it into bankruptcy a year later. Donald trump says hes qualified to be president because of his business record. Here is an important thing about how donald trump operates. He doesnt default and go bankrupt as a last resort. He does it over and over again on purpose. Even though he knows he will leave others empty handed while he keeps the plane, the helicopter, the penthouse. One of the people that donald trump left empty handed was invited to join Hillary Clinton at the microphone today. Martin rosenberg says donald trump refused to pay him for work done installing glass panels at the trump taj mahal. I am here today to help ensure this sort of manipulation of people by trump will not continue on a national stage. Hillary clinton did say that there is one thing that donald trump says that everyone should believe. And remember, remember what he promised. Im going to do for the country what i did for my bes. Business. Well, we should believe him and make sure he never hans has the chance to bankrupt america the way he bankrupted his businesses. Joining us now, david k. Johnson, Pulitzer Prize journalist who has been reporting on the trump empire for years, now a columnist with the daily beast. David, the story
