Often out of Pure Petulanc yeah. But he also lashes out at people to send a message to other people, do not cross me. That is a thing that can work if youre six months out and trying to get people in line. But 30 days out . And if youre on the rise . Not if youre flailing. 30 days out, all hes doing is making more enemies, all hes doing is sending the message of disarray. I totally agree, and not getting back the republicans you were talking about. And another thing people are still talking about, on this very topic, is House Speaker paul ryans telling House Republicans yesterday that they should feel free to flee from donald trump, if that is whats necessary to save their skins and thereby help their party retain its majority in the lower chamber. We are told that ryan, despite what he said yesterday, still hasnt ruled out rescinding his endorsement of trump at some point in the future, but ryan so far has shied away from public spats with his partys nominee. Donald trump has not. Today, during that social media rampage, trump targeted ryan by tweeting, quote, despite winning
out to vote for House Republicans. I agree with you about that. But its not just that he wants to save the majority. I think that if ryan looks down the road, that could yield the outcomes he wants, a Clinton Presidency with a republican house, and either chamber, whatever a mixed bag. Mixed bag. Trump has rejected all of the things that he would want him to embrace on policy. Not all of them. Not conservative judges. Most okay, all but that. Fair enough. There are other things, too. On the flip side of trumps tribulations, i give you Hillary Clinton. She is whistling a happy tune these days. Her poll numbers are up. Yesterday in columbus, ohio, she drew what is said to be her largest crowd of the entire campaign. Take a look at this New York Times photo. It looks almost like a trump rally or bernie sanders. This is from last night on the campus of the ohio state in columbus. Secret service says there were more than 18k in attendance. Clintons outdoor event yesterday was welltimed. It was a show of strength when the campaign needed one, because
her campaign usually holds events during the day, when there are fewer people there, because theyre at work. So this was a big rally to keep her momentum going. They had another big rally today in miami, where clinton appeared alongside Vice President al gore. More on that later. Meanwhile, however, for the second day in a row, wikileaks dropped additional half emails allegedly from the inbox of Clintons Campaign chair, john podesta. Lots of new revelations here, including an email from march that suggests that donna brazil, who was then a paid commentator for cnn, is the interim chair of the Democratic National convention, ticked off Clintons Campaign about a question that was coming at a cnn town hall. In other circumstances, leaks likes this would be making much bigger waves in the political world. Again, theres more in there thats being digged over now. But most of these things are being drowned out, including on this program, to some extent, by all the dysfunction that trump is creating within the Republican Party. So john, as we continue to look at some of these wikileaks
questions, including the one involving the chair of the dnc, donna brazil, and other people of clintons orbit, what would it take for clinton to lose a news cycle . Im going to go super simple here. I dont know what it would take, but it would take a controversy thats not inside baseball. Everything thats coming out of these weeikileaks things so fars inside baseball. The reason trump has been a potent force in the last six months is because he talks about issues in a big, bold way thats not always about this inside stuff. All this clinton stuff is stuff we might be interested in, that politico might be interested in. Its not stuff, when trump hammers on it, it seems so small, compared to the controversies in his campaign. The problem republicans have with this stuff, first of all, theres a lot of stuff, but all of it is kind of medium grade. And all of it speaks to you know, inside stuff. Like the clintons, you know, the clinton team strategized. Peep complained about other members of the team. Now, theres some questions
about the State Department and the functions there. Theres some questions about whether theres Improper Conduct with the justice department. Theres some serious questions to be looked at. But, again, its, as you suggested, its so much smaller in the way this campaign is covered. The Freak Show Media Circus that donald trump fighting with the speaker of the house, himself, not Hillary Clinton, because it all involves her staff for the most part, its going to be its hard for trump to win a news cycle right now, as unfair as republicans see this as being, its going to be hard for her, unless the polls come out and it turns out that all of this speculation about trump being damaged, if he starts to be even in polling, she could win a news cycle and he could lose one. Ill say again, you read the New York Times account of what these emails have revealed, its fascinating. Im really interested, i love that stuff. But arguments about how to leak her keystone position. Donna brazil dropping a question or something. We could obsess all day. But compared to intimations of Sexual Assault the speaker of the house and John Mccain Fighting and the republican anarchy, the whole party melting down, its just nothing. All right, when we come back, the sights and sound of Hillary Clintons day with al gore after these words from our sponsors. Something new has arrived. Uniquely designed for the driven. Iinfiniti. Empower the drive. Infiniti qx30 crossover. The search for relief often leads here. S, introducing drugfree aleve direct therapy. A Highntensity Tendevice that uses technology once only in doctors offices. For deep penetrating relief at the source new aleve direct therapy. Is to be here with one of the worlds foremost leaders on Climate Change, al gore those 30 years of leadership led al gore to be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2007. I was very proud. There isnt anybody who knows more, has done more, has worked harder. I cant wait to have al gore advising me when i am president of the United States. Hillary clinton will make solving the Climate Crisis a top national priority. Your vote really, really, really counts. You can consider me as an hibit a of that proof. With Hillary Clinton, well build on the progress made under
president obama, with the paris agreement. She has proposed a terrific plan. I went through that with a finetooth comb, and i will tell you that her plan on solar panels and expanding renewable energy, it is right at the limit of what we can do and that is exactly the kind of ambitious goal that we need from the next president of the United States of america. So, mark, i would say, with all due immodesty, that the two of us kind of have phds almost in gorology. Weve been studying that guy and Hillary Clinton for a long time. So give me your cosmic thoughts about what went down today . Well, they were rivals in the white house from the beginning of the collin Gore Administration and over the years, they have not been close. The Gore Family Felt that bill clintons conduct in the white house really hurt his chances of winning more soundly and they were disgusted by
it. And today was a sign of All Hands On Deck for the democrats and the desire of Hillary Clinton to use al gore to not necessarily appeal directly to millennials, but kind of a bank shot to appeal to two groups, millennials who care about Climate Change, and get immediate change on that. Stunning to see them together, but no doubt that al gore continues to have a jaundiced view of the clintons. And lets unpack it a little bit more. They were rivals because of the fact that gore believed he was Vice President and Hillary Clinton believed she was Vice President. He believed as Vice President , he should be the second most powerful person in the country. So they both fought for bill clintons ear throughout the time. As you said, the gores had a very jaundiced view about Hillary Clinton about bill clinton, because of his behavior. Hillary clinton also had a jaundiced view about al gore, in
a lot of ways, thought he was politically maladroit and not ostensibly liberal. So they have never liked each other. Gore was miserable in the white house, and a lot of his misery has to do with her. But he really cares about this issue of Climate Change. His reputation has taken a beating after he sold current tv to the qatarries, a lot of people on the left thought it was hypocritical to sell it to an oilproducing nation. And hes so bitter over what happened in 2000 and his feeling that the election was basically stolen from him. And he like all democrats regard trump as a menace. So he wants to be out there. He does not want to see this thing happen again. His message today was that, and i think he really feeling it in a very heartfelt way. You have to understand part of the psychology of al gore is, he won the popular vote. More people went to the polls in florida, he should have been president by his judgment. And so, he has dabbled in president ial politics since
then, but he has largely stayed out of it. And to see him come back today, i think this event might not be a total oneoff, but you can imagine a world he would be out there a lot more for her. And the fact that hes done one is testament to the All Hands On Deck. And ill say the other thing we both know about al gore is he hates politics. Hes the guy more than almost anybody ive ever met desperately wanted to be president , but never wanted to do anything it would take to get there. To get him out on stage gives you a sense of what he thinks the stakes are in this election. Even once, because he hates doing this. When we come back, a clinton adviser and trump adviser walk into the core club here in gotham city. Well show you what happens next, right after this. A bit earlier today, john and i hosted an event at new york citys core club with two important political fundraisers for the leading president ial hopefuls. We were joined by Anthony Scaramucci, who is the founder of an Investment Firm and a trump adviser. And mark lasry, a Hedge Fund Manager and adviser to Hillary Clinto here is what scaramucci had to say about what he thinks of Donald Trumps chances of winning the president ial election. I would say that right now, and i think mark would probably agree with me, theres a one in five shot or one in ten, somewhere between one in ten and one in five. Because what you know about politics is that anything can happen. You look at the polls, i would say 20 so what im hoping he has a higher chance than that. The much later took to
twitter saying that his political forecasts was based on polling and Prediction Markets, but that trump, quote, always exceeded those expectations. So what do you think of one of Donald Trumps supporters suggesting that his chances are not more of a lock. I thought scaramucci was being honest there and he was fairly to be totally fair to him, he defended donald trump throughout the thing, made a lot of arguments in favor of why he was still with donald trump, made an extended argument for why he was still with him, even after what came out in these tapes, but he can read the polls. These guys work with numbers all day long. Theyre looking at numbers. And he is looking at the Prediction Markets and hes looking at the polls weve all seen, and making a pretty accurate assessment of anybody whos actually in touch with reality would think the race is right now. Part of the problem for donald trump right now goes back to something we discussed before. Every trump surrogate is going to be asked about the controversies surrounding the Trump Campaign, but everyone is hearing about they involve donald trump himself. But democratic members of congress, theyre not being asked about every clinton scandal, in part because reporters cant keep up with the minutia of every one of them. And in part, because not everyones going to have an opinion about it or should be called on to have an opinion about it. As i said before, theyre not as relatable. You can ask scaramucci, what does his wife think about trump . What does he say to his daughters . But if you ask a clinton surrogate, what does your husband think about Donna Brazile its just not the same. Its hard. Its not fair to the republicans in some ways, but i so ee the dynamic and why it exists. Thats not all what Anthony Scaramucci had to say about this election. Heres what he told us when we asked him what donald trump should do between now and november if he wants to win the election. What i would be focused on right now is i would get a Balance Sheet out and i would get those 90second clips that he did, the one he did on friday night or the apology and i would say, okay, heres where i stand on these issues. This is why its beneficial to Working Class families and the
middle class. This is where the secretary stands on these issues. This is why these issues will be debilitating to the middle class. And i would stream it and go right over the top of the mainstream media, right to the american people. More so than he can with the 20,000 or 30,000person crowd. And i would lay out each thing. Whether its immigration or trade, any of these things. I would also get his surrogates to be better coordinated than they currently are, so when that message is coming o out from him, they can go out with a message thats similar to the message that hes beaming in on the 90 seconds. Of course, scaramucci there making an argument for trump being basically policy focused at the very moment that trump was releasing the ad, attacking Hillary Clinton on her health. So an interesting prescription, but fantasy land. Again, yesterday watching mike pence giving policy speeches, they have an argument that revs up the base and the broader base than the tact trump is taking now, but hes not going to pursue a Campaign Based on policy and the new ad today makes that very clear. During the event, mark lasry
also talked about his idea that centrism has shifted to the left. I think what you see now, especially with what happened with bernie, what was center, isnt where it was four years ago or eight years ago. You are going to nee more government intervention. I know the feeling is for it to be in the center, its Less Government invention, but with the issues you have out there, youll need more government invention. I asked him as i do a lot of clinton surrogates, what position shes taken in the center and he didnt really have an answer. Right. And i dont know if the center has shifted, because clearly the right has moved farther to the left and the left has moved farther to the left. But what mark lasry is talking about as far as economic things, theres no doubt that the democratic senator has moved to have the left and cultural politics across the country have moved to the left. Economics, you never hear her talk about reforming entitlements, reinventing government, eliminating waste. Those are 90s arguments. Those are 90s new democrat arguments and the partys not its not like that anymore in the democratic party. Its moved to the left. Fascinating to hear those two guys who are friendly with each other agree about a fair amount especially both of them thinking about that a speaker ryan could get a lot of work done. Very smart guys. Coming up, we talk to a trio of political titans about the state of the president ial race. Wont want to miss that. Stay tuned. Well be back with more with All Due Respect right after this.
