He doesnt know foreign policy. He shouldnt be allowed on the debate stage. Donald trump isnt christian. Hes this. Hes that. Trump is a conman, donald trump, donald trump, donald trump, donald trump, donald trump will not become the president. Were going to start the program with another Police Shooting that has captured the nations attention. Protests arrested yesterday in charlotte, north carolina, after police shot and killed 43yearold Keith Lamont Scott. Police say he emerged from his vehicle with a gun. Scotts family has disputed the Police Account claiming he was unarmed. After that, demonstrations turned violent after people threw rocks at police. They set fire to a pile of boxes. All of this happened a day after video showed a man shooting a man who had his hands in the air when he was shot. Donald trump was asked today about that tulsa footage. To me it looked like he did everything he was supposed to do. He looked like a really good man. Maybe im a little clouded because i saw his family talking about him after the fact. You get a little different image maybe. But to me he looked like somebody who was doing what they were asking him to do. And this young officer know i dont know what she was thinking. I dont know what she was thinking. But im very, very troubled by that. We have to be very careful. These things are terrible. That was in my opinion, a terrible, a terrible situation. And weve seen others. The police are aware of that, too. The police are troubled by it too. They look it a. Did she get scared . Was she choking . What happened . Maybe people like that, people choke, people do that, maybe they cant be doing what theyre doing. Hillary clinton also commented on the latest shootings. She took a moment during her speech in orlando to address the matter as well. There is still much we dont know about what happened in both incidents. We do know we have two more anaheim add to the list of africanamericans killed by Police Officers in these encounters. It is unbearable and it needs become intolerable. Ive spoken to Many Police Chiefs and other Law Enforcement leaders who are as deeply concerned as i am. They are as deeply committed as i am. They know it is essential for the safe of our communities and our officers. So how do these latest pair of Police Shootings of africanamerican men seem to be impacting juries . Well, we talked about this yesterday. This is the second time where in just the last couple times, there have been more than one Police Shooting. And theyve broken through in a significant way. This is a huge problem in cities across the country. I thought both donald trump and Hillary Clinton handled this pretty well today. Taking a different line than hes taken in the past. A little different from his Campaign Manager and his Vice President ial running mate took a little earlier. Expressing more sympathy for the victim in the case in tulsa. And of course, Hillary Clinton who talks about it with frequency. It is something that will continue to be a topic of discussion as long as these events keep happening. Theres no question that trumps remarks were more striking than clintons. Not because he spoke with more compassion but because it is not just Kellyanne Conway. The way donald trump has largely talked about these matters. I think it is great in the face of tragedy to reflect on it. To give us a sense of how they will deal with it. It is pretty clear. It is something of a National Debate about remedies. This is still a problem that will bedevil the country. I think one of the questions is, do you think this is a systematic or a systemic problem . And one that is related to race and racial bias. It is not a miystery that a lot of them have been africanamerican men. In many cases, either unjustified or apparently unjustified. So Hillary Clinton talks about this in a more come pre hencive way than trump did you have but trump taking a very different tone today. With fewer than 50 news cycles left, Hillary Clinton seems to be making a slight shift in her messaging plan. Instead of mainly or only trying to disqualify donald trump, she is adding a positive track. Talking about what shes done and what she would do as president. Thats what we saw today. The focus was on helping people with disabilities be a bigger part of the work force. Quhablg she calls an inits cluive economy. First were going to focus jobs and incomes. Ill give more americans a chance to work alongside those without disabilities and do the same jobs for the same pay and benefits. Second. Were going to work with our colleges and universities to make them more accessible to students with disabilities. Third. Were going to partner with businesses and other stake holders to ensure those living with disabilities can get hired and stay hired. As part of that, well launch a new effort we are calling autism works to help people with autism succeed in the workplace. Fourth, lets build on the success of the americans with disabilities act by finally ratifying the United Nations convention on the rights of persons with disabilities. Long before that speech, a little before it, clinton started with an op ed highlighting her resume and framing president ial race as a choice between an economy that works for everyone and an economy that benefits well off at the expense of everyone else. We have talked on this sbhoe how clinton has struggled to articulate the theory of the case about where the American Economy stands. Were not the only ones who have noticed it. A poll has clinton with a 7point lead and a twoway matchup. 48 to 41 . That sinks to 4 poinss in a four way race. More registered said trump over clinton, 4641. You were down in orlando in the Hillary Clinton speech. How do you think she did . She did just fine in terms speaking from her heart. Ing talking about her mothers life, talking about the country. Shes talked about people shes known. It was a very moving speech in some ways. It does highlight the fact she does not reach for a way to kind of bring all the strands together and talk about how she would be a great jobs president. It is a real vulnerability for her. It was a perfectly serviceable speech. She talked about issues really important to her. I think she is vulnerable to this. Trump talks a brash game on. Jobs right now, i think a lot of voters are looking for brash. I think if she is fg to make an inclusive economy. The broad theme under which she wants to cut flesh out, she has a hot more work to do. It is a potentially powerful theme. She has not laid it all out. It is a potentially powerful theme. And he talks tough on jobs. As you know, many think that trump is by far the weaker candidate when it comes to it. The question is whether hillary can build her own argument and lay bare the weakness thats a lot of economists see. Ive been watching her simpson the early 90s. This is her last debate before monday. The last public event. Reading her body language, i think her she had in a very good place for the debate. I think she feels she is in a very good place to take down donald trump. The august fundraising numbers are out. And the headlines are many. It was the best month yet for both Hillary Clinton and donald trump. Clinton raised 58 million in august. Trump raised 40 million. Pretty remarkable since it was summertime when people arent necessarily attending fundraisers or writing checks. Clinton outspent trump nearly 21. Clinton has twice as much cash on hand although team trump is doing a victory lap because they raised 12 million in small donations. Thats 4 million more than clinton raised from those people. By comparison, barack obama raised 25 million from small donors in 2012. Mitt romney, 9. 4 million. Bad news for the vegas billionaire, adelson. He has given money but most not to trump. He and his cash are being directed toward helping other republican candidates. A little bit went to a Group Supporting trump. Of all of these, which do you think will have the most importance . Well, there are two leaked ones. The one to me that matters the most is the cash on hand. Clinton has substantially more cash on hand puts her in a better place in the home stretch. The Sheldon Adelson news will make headlines because it is a big flashy, gaudy name. That money wont be supplementing trumps relatively meager, relatively, compared to the Clinton Campaign. Relatively meager Cash Holdings is a problem going forward. If this is a close race, look at the Battle Ground states. Can the combined forces of the Trump Campaign and the rnc produce a competitive ground game based on what they believe is greater enthusiasm, efficiency. They say theyre confident that they will be super competitive in this state. It is an open question. And the proof will be on election day when we see how they do. Not just election day but with early voting. Are they well funded enough to be competitive . With the clinton folks. A huge question. We will know in fewer than 50 days. When we come back, Campaign Managers and the after the dodging questions after these words from our sponsors. Did you read every word . No, only lawyers do that.

Together, were building a better california. Like a lot of news programs, we here have extended an open invitation to the president ial candidates who want to come on this program. Hillary, donald. There is always a comfy chair on our set. More often, we get on ask our pentup political questions to the Campaign Managers and other strategists and surrogates. Heres the problem. When it comes to policy questions, we dont always get a clear answer. Take Clinton Campaign chief this morning on morning joe who was asked about his bosss policy on syria. Was it a mistake to draw the red line if the president was not willing to do something when it was crossed . As you pointed out. The decision regarding that was made after she was out of office. So i think you would have to ask was she disfoinld president didnt act when the lien was crossed . I think you would have to ask her about that question. Youre here for her. So you wont discuss it . You can go on our website and read the full plan there. I think youre going to have to ask her that question. Thats a matter of policy. Im going to let her statements speak for themselves. Are not you here representing her point of view . I am indeed. And i am going to let her language speak for itself. Okay. So that was not great. But its not just robby who has some problems sometimes answering straightforward questions. Listen to trump Campaign ManagerKellyanne Conway when she was asked about her boss being a birther. How and when did donald trump conclude the president was born in the United States . Youll have to ask him that. Donald trump advocated something for five years that was a lie. Why did he do that . Youre going to have to ask him. Okay. So today, after that morning joe interview with robby, clintons Campaign Manager got a little assist from the guy held that post for president obama, that would be David Plouffe. He tweet, the Campaign Manager is to execute a Winning Strategy to secure 270 electoral votes. Not make new policy. Know the difference. So my question for you is whether David Plouffe is right or wrong. He is one quarter right. It is true. These are political operatives. Theyre not policy people. But they constantly come on the programs and say why are you asking about policy . Why are you obsessed with politics is this if their position is they can only answer political questions, they should expect political questions. But they should put out topics that people are interested. In thats not just policy but matters of controversy. I find it ridiculous with someone with the Title Campaign manage her take position, ask mr. Trump. Unless she is willing to produce mr. Trump or he is going on produce secretary clinton, i think it is a charade. I get it. If theyre saying theyre political people they should expect political questions and not criticize us for asking policy questions. I think they should answer policy questions and political questions. Theyre senior person, a couple of senior people on the campaign. They spent a lot of time with them. Theyre asking what did the candidate think about x. David plouffe mischaracterized and it said it is not their job to make new policy. Hillary clinton wrote about what she thought about the red line and engineer in her book. As has he read the book . He should read the book ask say what Hillary Clintons point of view was only. And with Kellyanne Conway, she must have some idea what his thinking was. We have a right to expect her to know. Lets be realistic. They almost always say thats their answer when they dont want to answer a tough question. Not because they dont know. Thats correct. It is just their chosen form of obje object fuss indication. With two amazing incredible journalists. People get anxious and my office gets flooded with calls. So many things can go wrong.

How do you think based on the performance of the candidates over this week and heading into the debate monday, how do you think they look in terms of fighting form . I think they both need a little work and a lot of practice over the next four or five days and theyll do it in their own way. Hillary clinton will be down much of that time between now and the debate going through rigorous debate practice and hopefully a whole series of mock debates. Donald trump will do it his own way which will be, i wont call it a relaxed approach but it will be different. He wont cram himself full of facts and figures but he will have a sense of the strategy he wants to take into the debate. I think both of them have to be a little bit nervous. This is a more up predictable environment. The topics are very broad that lester holt has laid out and we dont quite know what donald trump will be like. So i think there has to be nervousness on both sides. Margaret . How do you think theyre headed trajectory wise . What i think were seeing with clinton this week is that she is trying to project a sort of calm, prepared, paced approach. Sticking to the facts. Her whole appearance at the u. N. , trying to show off her statesman like credentials. She wants t remain calm and unflappable. I think just as much as she can convince herself that she can do it on monday. If she can go in there in an, im not going to take bait mode, thats what she wants what theyre afraid and and why everyone will tune in is to see if she can pull it off. In terms of what you know about how theyre dealing with debate prep. Lets stay with this topic. How do you think she is just technically speaking, going become the process of trying to get ready for the unpredictability of donald trump . In many ways, im going to give you some educated guesses. We know more about what shes not
