Were trying to protect the Boundary Waters, watershed in copper mine. We have a great group assembled around the table, first, the faa is investigating a deadly balloon crash in texas. 16 people were on board when the balloon went down. Janet is in lockheart, texas with the latest. Janet, what happened here. Reporter willie, good morning. Its the worst hot air balloon accident in u. S. History. It burst and crashed into this corn field saturday morning. The balloon appeared to be flying unusually low and there is speculation it may have hit the high power lines about four stories tall that run through the field. Friends of the pilot say hes 49yearold skip nickels that owns a balloon company. None of the other victims have been identified. The ntsb will provide an update from washington.

One is dead, three others wounded when gunfire rang out in the streets of Texas Capital city. Police say that suspect began firing into the crowd after an argument. Donald trump is facing criticism for his response to the parents of a fallen muslim soldier who spoke thursday night at the democratic nation the convention. He was responding to mr. Khans speech whose son an army captain that died in iraq challenged trump asking what sacrifices trump made for this country. In an interview with abc news, trump was asked to respond. I think i made a lot of sacrifices. Ive worked very, very hard. Ive created thousands and thousands of jobs, tens of thousands of jobs. Those are sacrifices . Oh, sure, sacrifices. I think when i can employ thousands and thousands of people, take care of their education, take care of so many things. Mr. Khan responded to trump later in the day. Running for president is not an entitlement to disrespect gold star family and gold star mother not realizing her pain. Shame on him. Shame on his family. Well talk more about what trump said about the mother in a moment and trump released a statement calling captain khan a hero but saying the efforts for radicals to enter the country to do us further harm. Hillary clinton tweeted captain khan and his family represent the best of america and we solute them. Meanwhile, shell be on the road.

Hes obviously the first person ever to do that. Lets join our crew around the table to talk to historic head spinning week through. A cultural writer, best selling author and cohost of the about race pod cast and the onion, hes back from covering the dnc making his historic first appearance on sunday today. Welcome. Thank you. Very good story. It is. More history here because with us for the first time a Deputy Communications director for the congressional leadership found and head of Hispanic Media relations until she stepped down a couple months ago. Welcome. Good to see you, ruth. Good to be here. And katy tur is our correspondent that will not be told this morning to quote be quiet as she was by the candidate at a press conference this week. Welcome, everybody. Cheeky. Well leave it there. Okay. I want the spend the whole show talking about a guy that jumped out of a plane on a parachute. Unbelievable. A metaphor where we are as a nation. Is there a net . That is the key question. Lets dive into the khan situation. Donald trump going after the man that made this speech on thursday. I want to play for people that maybe didnt see it some of what mr. Khan said on thursday night. Let me ask you, have you even read the United States constitution . I will gladly lend you my copy. [ cheers ] have you ever been to Arlington Cemetery . Go look at the graves of brave patriots who died defending United States of america. You will see all faiths, genders and ethnicities. [ applause ] you have sacrificed nothing. And no one. Mr. And mrs. Khan lost their son to a suicide bomber in iraq in 2004. We played you the part earlier where mr. Khan responded talking about the sacrifices, donald trump responding to that but also, donald trump pointing out something about mrs. Khan standing next to mr. Khan. Take a listen. If you look at his wife, she was standing there with nothing to say. She probably, maybe she wasnt allowed to have anything to say, you tell me. Plenty of people have written that. Lets dive into this a little bit. Donald trump implying there because shes muslim perhaps she wasnt allowed to speak and she came out later and said no, its so hard for me to talk about my son, i cant look at his picture on the screen. We saw moments where we thought this is a turning point for donald trump and havent been. In many cases, they enhanced his support. Is this different from your seat . I think its a new low for him but hes a master of the low so i dont see this as a turning point than a more consistent version of the trump weve seen. That family represents the best of us and thats not a partisan thing to say, its an american thing to say and the way for him to lay into them and not see or acknowledge the pain they have. He also, to be honest, he should be the last person to talk about someones wife silently standing by behind him when his wife speaks, its another persons words. He could say whatever he want and no consequence for it. He can shoot from the hip. Do you feel from the republican side this is different this time . I think first of all, this speech was powerful. It impacted independents, republicans, tran sends party lines, love of country, sacrifice and powerful and impactful. Surely wont question the experiences or the rational the khan family has to support Hillary Clinton. Obviously, their experiences have led them to that support. Similarly what we saw during the rnc with pat smith who also lost a son in benghazi and very much opposing Hillary Clinton, i wont question her rational. Its something personal. Those two families represent the best of america and the sacrifice and the bravery they had is something that i obviously dont have, and when they say that, when one Family Member serves, the entire family serves and i think we got to see a little bit of that during that speech. Are you surprised donald trump went after this issue . I feel like this is one he would step back from and say i honor their sacrifice and not get into a fight with this family . I think the correct approach would be to honor the sacrifice. Can i jump in on the idea of being surprised by Donald Trumps base level behavior . Hes shown us who he is for decades. In 1989 there was a famous and heinous crime committed in central park. A jogger was brutalized, nearly killed, five teenagers, black and brown teenagers were put into confession. Donald trump took out a full page ad asking for the death penalty. This was voluntary. He wasnt running for president or aiming for office. He was a pry sivate citizen try to murder innocent children at the hands of the state. Not surprising. Not the first time and certainly not the last. Katy, there is a rhythm and youve watched it for well over a year donald trump gets embr l embroiled in one thing, russia this week. That was four days ago. And before that ted cruz and before that melanias speech. Was this a strategy . Did he know i better engage them to move on from russia . I think hes an opportunest in that way where he takes opportunity to make a new headline and to say this is just coincidence would be blind to the past year and the events that have happened. Donald trump has consistently changed the subject to another controversy over and over again. I think this coming week well see him talk about something completely different that will move the subject away from the khan comments. These things dont last more than a couple days. Frankly, they never do. I want to read a tweet, ruth, from john kasich of ohio who is obviously not a supporter of donald trump and ran against him. He wrote this, there is only one way to talk about gold star parents, with honor and respect. Captain khan is a hero, together we should pray for his family. I guess my question is, why havent we seen more of that . Paul ryan put out a statement but didnt specifically go after donald trump. He said the muslim ban is a bad idea. Why havent we heard from people like john mccann on this one issue . Time and again you have seen Republican Leaders come out, paul ryan come out and oppose Donald Trumps muslim ban and kasichs tweet. Youll see more Republican Leaders come out and give their opinion on this issue and i think that thats the right thing to do. We want to hear because we know i mean, were the party that loves to talk about and we hold the constitution for love of country, patriotism, faith, freedom. Wouldnt it be obvious to say this is wrong, this is a family that lost their son in service of the United States. I think you will continue to see that and john kasich said that. Do we want to see more, absolutely. I disagree. I dont think youll continue to see this because they havent been confronted. Thats the reality. They havent been confronted with the camera and not confronted with the camera with the russian comments which is why were seeing Republican Leadership including Mitch Mcconnell and paul ryan not comment on this because frankly, all they have been doing is commenting on donald trump. They are trying to distance themselves from it very not saying here is the issue this is the standard bear of their party and they have to get behind his comments or take a stand. Thats what many people are calling for. For them to allow him to say what many find offensive means they are approving it and maybe they dont find it offensive and female like khan came out and attacked donald trump and he deserves to be hes basically asking for it and deserves to be part of the conversation because he was the one that punched first. Donald trump always called himself a counter puncher. The republicans that havent commented on it are approving it but also they havent had the camera in front of their face. I think we should also remember, remind us this is not a normal election and donald trump is not a normal candidate. He pretended to be a democrat for a long time. He wasnt. Hes pretending to be a republican right now. He isnt. He is not republican. He is not democratic. He is not one of us. Hes in a special category of his own and only looks out for himself and to the extent he made sacrifices, only to his people. I think the outrage is justified a lot from folks who believe he has gone too far in attacking a gold star family. There are a lot of people watching john mccann and other leaders in the party on this story to see if they step up. But i dont think here is the fundamental difference. I had a long conversation with a guy just this week about donald trump and he likes him. Hes supporting him, and i said, you know, what about the controversies and the fact he often is not telling the truth . He said none of that matters because i think we need stronger borders. I said what about the fact there is less illegal immigration now than 2007 . I dont care, i think donald trump will make it stronger and better. There is nothing you can say to sway his base of support. There is nothing he can say to sway his base of support. Well see if there is people in the middle that can be said.

Im a fine arts major. Nobody really believes that i take notes this way, but they actually make sense to me. I try to balance my studying with the typical college experience. This windows pc is a life saver being able to pull up different articles to different parts of the screen is so convenient. I used to be a mac user but this is way better. The things that i consume a lot of it is very acidic. The enamel on my teeth was actually weakening. The whiteness wasnt there as much. My teeth didnt look as healthy as others. My dentist said that pronamel would help fight against that erosion that foods and drinks were causing. So it was really important to start using the pronamel. Itll be one less thing you have to worry about. Pronamel is now giving me the confidence to know that im doing the right thing. So its nice to know that its as simple as that. All right. Ruth and katy back with me as we run through the highs and lows of the week. The high between a Texas Police Officer and a 2yearold friend. Patrick ray and bexley got together over tea and ories to celebrate the one year day he saved her life. As her mom put her down for a nap, she saw her little girls lips turn blue and realized she swallowed a coin and couldnt breathe. Her mom called 911 and the officer responded on his lunch break. When he arrived she was unresponsive but he cleared her throat and brought her back. A year later she invited him over for tea and tiny chairs to say thanks for saving my life. That cleanses the palate. Thats beautiful. I love the idea maybe shell get pulled over for speeding and hell have to remind her look, i saved your life. Seriously, you have to be very careful. Throw the tea party. It balances out. Shes playing a game. The first low to Donald Trumps opinion of the heating and cooling system at the hotel in virginia where he held an event this week. Temperatures were hot and a big crowd was pack into a ballroom and hotel to see trumps speech. The are republican nominee got warm and unleashed his furry on the h vac system. Here we are in a ballroom and i feel like im in a sauna, so i dont know what hotel this is but you ought to try turning on the air conditioning or youre not going to get your pay. These people. [ cheers ] am i right . Its hot. Said they should be ashamed. The hotel had to put out a statement defending the air conditioning. Katy tur, you were in the room. How hot was it in. It was a sauna. To be fair, secret service left the doors open to let the hotel in, not the har vac. I like he announces hes not going to pay. If youre structuraling to pay, dont i elect someone not paying bil bills. Bill clinton at ceremonial balloon drop. Hes been on stage for the balloon drop before but he looked up at the red, white and blue Party Accessories with new eyes this time, big gleeful eyes full of wonder. He caught them, he popped them, he kicked them, he loves them. As mtvs rachel said on twitter, find someone that k llooks at y the waybill clinton looks at balloons. I shouldnt be comparing a former president to a golden retriever. A little girl tried to take it and hes like no. Exactly. Our final low goes to the thief who picked on the wrong sunbather. Guy was walking through a park on a nice day when he stopped to talk to a couple women. When he walked away, one of them noticed her phone was gone. Bad news for him, shes a super jacked cop. She chased him and pinned him down and called for uniformed police. He tried to escape her death grip but as you can see that wouldnt happen. She took her phone back to the beach blanket and became an International Web sensation. That makes me want to commit more crimes. Yes. Yes. [ laughter ] guys, appreciate you being here. Thank you. Good conversation. Katy, good luck on the road. Thank you. Dont be quiet
