5:01 pm
someone with cold feet and not consistent with totally heartfelt not equivocal -- heartfelt unequivocal endorsement we saw yesterday. the federal judge in the -- and thelawsuit trump university lawsuit is biased because he is "of mexican heritage and has a conflict of interest." who would someone who is fully onboard the trump train say about that? >> the comment about the judge other day -- the judge the other day was out of left field. i completely disagree with the thinking behind that. says and does things i don't agree with. >> trump responded to his
5:02 pm
critics today. >> if you are saying he can't do his job because of his race, is that not the definition of racism? >> he's proud of his heritage. i'm building a wall. i think i'm going to do very well with hispanics, because i'm going to bring that jobs and they are going to get jobs. i think am going to do very well with hispanics, but we are building a wall. he's a mexican and we are building a wall between here and mexico. the answer is he is giving us a very unfair ruins. this case should have ended years ago on some rejection. so many lawyers, they said this is not a case, this is a case that should have ended. this judge is giving us unfair rulings. i'm building a wall, ok? and it's a wall between mexico,
5:03 pm
not another country. >> he's from indiana. donald: mexican heritage, and he's proud of it. john: we will get to the political applications of paul ryan hitting donald trump the way he did on this issue the day after endorsing him. first, let's talk about the wisdom of trump hitting -- most people have been quite critical. do you see any possible political upside in trump attacking the federal judge in this way? trump -- it has been said to much of his like a private company going public. i suppose if donald trump wants to get the judge to recuse himself from the case, but that is not a political benefit. this is picking fights not just with paul ryan, but across the board with people. block out anyto message he wants to drive. it is giving people inside the republican party and even in his
5:04 pm
own campaign a feeling that he is not disciplining himself at all. i see so much downside, i could list the downside through the hour of this program. john: thank you for agreeing. let's say this first of all, when trump does what he did in that interview, he kept calling curial a mexican. it is just pure racial politics. it is racial politics. whether mexicoer is a race come it is stirring up paid about people who do not like hispanics. -- it is stirring up people who do not like hispanics. eventually you can get trump to -- on top of that he is a potential president of the united states who has issued biggest threats, saying the judge should be investigated. it is wildly inappropriate and
5:05 pm
of course there are no political benefits. both it is racially tinged and wildly inappropriate for someone president of our united states. i fully aware mexico is not a race, but you can invoke things like that to stir up racial and a mess. mark: there is a lot of things this week that would lead donald trump that by his own -- that he chances.sing his i could see in the context of a legal fight or if he is looking for attention, this could be a positive thing. in the context of trying to get elected as president of the united states, this is foolish and thextreme and's -- most foolish thing is his top priority needs to be reassuring and the discipline
5:06 pm
to get elected president and be a good president. trump is notzing like a liberal position paid it is not an anti-trump position. many republicans are watching this in horror. withinre are people trump's campaign who are watching this with horror. it is dumb on every possible level. mark: one of the things donors are most concerned about is trump shooting his mouth off and no one around him stopping him. why are we raising money for a guy who would say things on provoked, unnecessary, no political upside, massive political downside. is not just the top republican in the house who has endorsed trump. it is also the gop leader in the senate.
5:07 pm
the kentuckian is out on a book tour, so he is doing a lot of interviews and can't seem to that -- p >> donald trump is going to be the republican nominee. you may fantasize about somebody else, you may support some of the else in the primary. that --re worrying now now that donald trump will do to latino voters what barry goldwater did to african voters? going after susanna martinez, the republican governor of new mexico, the chairman, i think those a big mistake. it is the time to be gracious and bring the party together. >> other places where you are different from donald trump? >> i said i didn't think we should be banning muslims coming into the united states. i said the other day it has become fairly common for
5:08 pm
candidates who become president to release their tax returns. i don't agree with them on a number of things. we had 17 people competing for the nomination. donald trump won the most primaries and caucuses. it is pretty clear the republican primary and caucus voters wanted something very different. i think it is safe to say donald trump is very different than what we are accustomed to. mark: does this lukewarm backing matter to chomps -- two trump's chances of winning? john: a lot of people don't care for congressional congress, congressional leaders. i don't think those two guys will move votes one way or the other when it comes to election day. one of the things trump needs is he needs defenders, he needs
5:09 pm
people in the party who will step forward. those two guys do not seem to have much of a stomach for it. mark: you are to have rob portman in ohio and candidates for reelection. when republicans get asked about the top of the ticket, it will be helpful for messaging. did bill clinton agree everyone was running on 92? absolutely not. think this is a problem for trump. stuff with the signal from the top two republicans, i have never seen that kind of repudiation. about thes not asked judge, he brought about his criticism of trump with what he said about curial. the day after endorsing him, he sent a very clear signal.
5:10 pm
--sing it on his own e-mail on his own he may -- he maintains his right to criticize trump going forward. and that is not just defending trump, that is being in the cheap seat. hurling criticism at him. mark: he could have answered many of those questions without criticizing trump, and yet he chooses to criticize, and it is going to hurt trump. what isen we come back, more important, new jobs numbers or the numbers regarding obama's job?
5:13 pm
mark: in the obama white house and clinton campaign there are two numbers that get a lot of attention, the number of jobs added to the economy every month and president obama's job approval rating. today one of those numbers came out and it is not so great. that is well below expectations even with what the edmund stray been hoping for. it is the worst monthly job gains since 2010. he calls it a bombshell. there is another important number doing much better on the democratic side, the president's job approval rating. it has been 50% consistently now. if you look at these two numbers, and the president's job approval rating, which one matters more for the clinton campaign? the economic situation is still pretty grim. john: i will take the first one
5:14 pm
first. are the jobs numbers beginning of the sign that the economy is slowing, it is an raging. but if these job numbers are a leading indicator of what we are going to see, flat employment and may be -- they are by far more important than barack obama's approval rating. these will have been relatively meaningless and obama's approval rating will matter more. it is not part of a trend yet. mark: if the jobs numbers stay -- not this week. weak, the winner of the election will make some more compelling cases, they have to make the economy grow faster. nobody is happy with this level of job growth. slower growth, these kinds of jobs numbers open the door for
5:15 pm
the candidate of change. hillary clinton is going to build on the success. but i agree with you, bad job numbers are going to matter more. 50% approval rating is pretty good. why has the approval rating gone up one the world is still a pretty messy place? mark: donald trump and hillary clinton. you see the circus that has been the republican nomination fight. two presumptive nominees at historically high levels of popularity. for people in the middle of the electorate who have seen all of the negativity. fray and thishe happens often with presidents. the get a little bit of nostalgia even before they leave office. mark: republicans are targeting him less then hillary clinton now. that gives him that halo effect.
5:16 pm
5:18 pm
5:19 pm
mr. chairman, i want to ask you this. with a lot of people watching the images last night from that trump rally in san jose, not the first time we have seen these clashes outside, who is to blame and what would you advise the republican nominee? what would you advised him of trump to do to try to deal with these images, which are not pretty and helpful for anyone involved. michael: i would advise him he needs to send out the message very clear, as we have seen and heard others do, that this is not the way democracy proceeds. this is not how we engage in political discourse. there will be people who disagree with us, people who will disagree in a way that they want to this -- they want to express that openly, but violence is different. we will not tolerate that as a campaign.
5:20 pm
them message, it takes away the sniping and the backbiting. donald trump's attitude, his message and word has already condoned this. in terms of what happens last night, it is clear that there are others who want to stoke these passions and flames. are not necessarily sanders supporters or hillary clinton supporters, they are agitators, people looking for a fight. they had a way of redirecting that energy. the trump supporters move through one door and protesters threw another. all of these things need to be taken and totaled. think he trump campaign is handling this issue well or poorly? kellyanne: they are handling it
5:21 pm
well, the burden on donald trump to rein in the supporters of donald trump? hillary clinton should be asked, are these your peeps? yesterday throwing eggs at people and in some cases you will see the man with the blood across his skull, people being attacked. a female reporter had her arm wrapped. we can't hillary clinton or bernie sanders or debbie wasserman schultz to of valve or disavow these protesters. why is it solely the responsibility of donald trump to rain and protesters of donald trump? mark: hillary clinton did denounce the activity, but you're absolutely right, the onus should not be on donald trump. do you see any upside to his criticizing the judge and
5:22 pm
continuing to refer to him as a mexican, even though he is not mexican but someone who was born in the united states. kellyanne: i don't appreciate insults based on race or gender or -- he showed that the judge had a bias against him, maybe, but only because that is part of donald trump's narrative. he wants a more accountable and transparent system that works .re we the people if he shows the judge has it out for him and has a vendor data for him, it is inappropriate for any judge. him, it ista for inappropriate for any judge. it is not healthy to see this being litigated out in the press. is not doing judge
5:23 pm
that, donald trump is doing that. the judge hasn't said anything as far as i know outside the bounds of normal judicial activity. do you know some thing i don't know about. kellyanne: maybe, maybe not. i would go to something that was said in terms of private , where snarky comments are made. that is a general comment about judicial restraint. the judiciary, people are catching on to this. lawyers.not just i think he has a right to say this judge might have against him without those racially -- going to not sure it's help get him elected president. would you agree or disagree with how it clinton's -- showed a pretty good performance level and increase her chances for winning?
5:24 pm
latter: not so much the part of the first part absolutely. i thought it was a well done speech by the hillary clinton. it did establish a narrative that she did want to establish with donald trump. wanted to do the slicing and dicing directly. how do you sustain that over the next five or six months. that speech was a speech to the , to thepolicy community political intelligence on the right and the left. say aboutething to this crazy man donald trump. the question for the hillary clinton campaign is how do they make this thing work? how do they establish this so she appreciates what she appreciates in a way that will benefit her in november. i don't see that part of the
5:25 pm
narrative coming together at this point. >> i want you to assess the week for donald trump. he has repeatedly attacked this pointl judge and at one suggesting he should be investigated. certainly not handling in an .ggressive way -- reporters then you have this hillary clinton thing, which prompted trump to basically go back to cook at hillary again. we have been long about the press. i'm going to ask the question in an open ended way, was this a good week for donald trump? is a mediocre week. heuer listing a number of things that went his way. everybody expects we will have the same kind of -- as the impreza's fundraising list.
5:26 pm
donald trump is something that hillary clinton has never been, he is the presidential nominee of his party. while she was still fighting bernie sanders in california, she has the moment him. he is expanding into other mature campaigns. list, cherry picked the it looks like a mediocre list. to your last point where he is calling her cook at hillary, they don't have a right to assault people with eggs or their fists. said leave them alone, don't hurt them. he has changed his rhetoric towards these protesters. john: nobody is suggesting hillary clinton supports them,
5:27 pm
it was kind of unfair being affiliated -- kellyanne: i think it is an -- it is incredibly unfair to sit just it is donald trump's responsibility. the segment started with do you isnk donald trump's campaign doing a good enough job? i just don't want people to be hurt. looking at cleveland, i am very concerned. john: we have a hard break here. thank you, and we will be right back. get ready for the rio olympic games
5:29 pm

5:30 pm
campaigns out of the golden state joint is from fairfield, covering the bernie sanders chris jansing, covering the heller clinton campaign is kristen welker, and covering the jumbled trump -- the donald trump campaign is katy tur. .illary clinton out there now talk about how the campaign seems to be feeling 24 hours later from what has been a widely well-received speech? >> they felt it was a moment for secretary clinton, people calling it a turning point. was certainly the sharpest attacks we have seen from her against donald trump. she has managed to do what a lot of the gop primary managers failed to do, which is to mock
5:31 pm
him, while at the same time taking policy proposal seriously. she had this takedown of each one of his policy proposals. this is a speech democrats were waiting for her to give. i think the parties feeling invigorated and the second point is about california and the primary. this is a really significant state. if she wins here, she takes away senator sanders last argument for staying in this race. one official telling me it is going to be close. this five-day campaign swing crisscrossing the state. bill clinton here as well. one official saying they have a good shot. it is going to be down to the wire. i want to get your
5:32 pm
reaction to this speech yesterday. did they react at all to what she said? >> i was surprised to tell you the truth. when he talks about the contrast between himself and hillary clinton on foreign policy, he had two major events. speech was winding down he had a second event last night in chico. andge crowd turn out there he didn't take the opportunity. it has been interesting watching him on this last push. going to three or four events today. he often hasn't spoken specifically to the subject at hand for the news of the day. he has been doing news conferences, donald trump calling him a total nut job. he will react in that sort of situation.
5:33 pm
mark: we saw his reaction last my, give us a sense overall whether the trump campaign looks at that speech and things any to react in a different way. >> donald trump's aides would like him to react a more coherent and strategic way than what he is doing right now. record and his , not necessarily going after the personal attacks alone. -- even some feeling today here in writing -- here in reading. for the hillary clinton
5:34 pm
way she talks. he did an imitation of her today. he also spoke about not wanting japan to have nuclear weapons when he did say that repeatedly in a few different interviews. he is now denying he ever said that. the campaign is having a rocky week. mark: i thought for sure the easiest thing would be to pull out the tax on the foreign-policy speech and reprise some of those lines. i understand that cook at hillary, lying hillary, he's trying to reinforce the narrative she is -- she can be trusted. me's --donald trump --ald trump meets the barbs there were enough points of substance where she attacked him that he got a rise from her. i want to go to chris and ask you out there in california with sanders campaign, i know there has been a talk -- a lot of talk
5:35 pm
on the ground about superdelegates. tell us about what you are hearing from the sender side of the stream on that discussion. today,eard earlier pushing back really hard. not only do they push back against the whole idea of superdelegates being out there for hillary clinton, that it is going to be decided on tuesday night. i really pushed him on superdelegates and said you are going to need to turn 300 plus superdelegates. he simple he said, i have answered the question and walked away. this is the math of it. while they understand it, they field -- they feel other people don't understand what they are doing, which is drawing crowds, getting people to say we need an alternative.
5:36 pm
he believes if he wins california he can go and make arguments to those superdelegates, even though there hasn't been any indication there are massive amounts of superdelegates making a return. i spoke with susan sarandon, she -- thingss got changed when hillary clinton got indicted. there was no proof that there was going to be an indictment, she dismissed what i said. for the people who are bernie or is not an unusual thing, that they truly believe something huge is going to happen that is going to change the trajectory of this. john: it seems to me, and i'm just genetic -- i'm just injecting a bit of analysis. the argument that bernie sanders from a position where bernie position where
5:37 pm
hillary clinton has beaten him , bernieotal votes sanders is going to be up to superdelegates that should overturn the will of the electorate has always considered me -- has always struck me us slightly nuts. why would they believe that? that they are so intent on winning california? >> a couple of points. just going back to my initial point, she thinks if she can win this state, the most populous state, she takes away senator sanders argument that he has gotten anywhere close to her in the pledged elegance. essentially takes that argument off of the table that he should stay in this race. it has to do with something else, it has to do with having a strong finish. i have been speaking with a lot of her conservatives.
5:38 pm
it is important she tries to keep that try to compete here, trying to win here. that has everything to do with party unity. president barack obama is eager to get into this game and endorse her. within short order he is going to get out in the campaign trail. he is very anxious to do that. and that speaks to party unity. that is what she is missing right now. that is what makes california so vital for her. >> earlier in the show i confidently asserted that there were people in donald trump's world who were beating their heads against the wall, watching him make these comments over and over again, so we have been discussing all throughout the show. what do you know about how trump
5:39 pm
world is reacting to seeing their boss saying these things over and over again? aidesre are a group of that are pulling their hair out. comments by the judge are completely unnecessary. they also feel like and these are the sort of things that could take down this campaign, these unnecessary negative attacks that garner a lot of negative publicity, especially some of a who is running for president. who doesn't seem to understand the separation of powers that we have in this country and the independence of the judiciary's. it is of great concern within the campaign and some sectors of the campaign. there are folks who are trying now to mitigate some of those unfavorable with latinos.
5:40 pm
-- last week i was told they had hundreds of people lined up to endorse donald trump. latino farmers and decorated veterans. none of those endorsements were announced because the press release couldn't get from new york. donald trump was in california because his campaign manager and communications director did not deliver the press releases to the candidate. there is this infighting in the campaign that seems to be making it unnecessarily hard for them to come together and find a strategic and coherent message. claiming that he is going to make america great again. versus thequarters road, a very big issue. thanks to you all.
5:41 pm
5:43 pm
5:44 pm
he's joint centers all over the country in syracuse, baltimore, and a 12 city tour along the mexico border and into california. thanks for joining us. this is the first time you've done politics. what caused you to get off your couch? >> i don't spend much time on my couch. intill don't feel like i'm both in politics -- involved in politics. i got into it because i saw these an activist. politics drain me. there is an overarching feel of activism in his movement.
5:45 pm
am standing up for the disenfranchised and marginalized people in this country through this movement and championing things i was already involved in, like black lives matter. >> why do you think senator sanders had such a hard time? for a long time he had a hard time with african-american voters. that --kind of this are bizarre that -- i don't know any african-americans that support her. even in houston, where i'm from. but i do -- speculation would of she's had decades campaigning. she campaigned with her husband, she went down there and shook hands, she did a lot of pr. she's a brand name.
5:46 pm
you go to that first, even though it may not be the best thing for you. a lot of people, especially in the southern states, are not on the computer 24/7, they are not on social media. these are older people, especially black women who are voting for or -- her or who have voted for her. he has so much area to cover that she's covered for a couple of decades now. that's the main reason, he just hasn't gotten out there and been able to talk to these people and look them in the eye. >> you just described her as a tube of toothpaste with chemicals that you should not put in your mouth. do you think of her as a less good choice than bernie sanders?
5:47 pm
or do you think hillary clinton is part of a corrupt system, part of the oligarchy, what's wrong with american politics today? >> i do think she participates in what is wrong with american politics today. when people ask me this question,, i can't ever bring myself to vote for someone who i believe would hurt the people i love, or has a hushed history of doing that. >> you think she falls in that category? >> from what i've seen, yeah. >> why? people ared brown the first to go to war. the are most likely to join military, most likely to be targeted by the war on drugs. crime bill. you know, i just haven't seen -- it's more so about bernie and
5:48 pm
the work he's done with civil rights. he's not this white politician who i don't think has any draw towards anyone who looks like me. then i was struck by all his work in the civil rights movement. marching with mlk, and from what he ranad, in high school on the platform of raising scholarships for korean war orphans. stand up foru to these disenfranchised and marginalized people and reach outside your community? that is so impressive to me. he cares about people who look like me. he's done more for black people than any person i know. he's done more for latinos than personally. know what trust you to do that for decades, before its popular? what draws you to stand up for
5:49 pm
5:52 pm
greatness comes when we appreciate each other's strengths, when we learn from each other, when we lean on each other. in this country, it's never been each person for themselves. we are all in this together. we always have been. >> that was first lady michelle obama today, taking what has been seen as a jab at donald trump during her commencement speech at the city college of new york. now we will go back, looking at the week, and then forward into next week. this was one of the biggest weeks so far for the 2016 campaign. john, there was the david french didvid french's candidacy not take off this week. it's in kind of a holding pattern. >> you saw michelle obama there. hillary clinton, barack obama all going after donald trump this week. hillary clinton the most
5:53 pm
important. there's a story in "the new york times" with staggering quotes from democrats. is that a performance she can replicate? if she can or can't, what are the implications? >> the campaign was smart. they took her off the trail so she could practice. they did a beta and switch. they got everybody to watch the speech. it turned out to be a series of attacks. she has given democrats such a shot of confidence that she can perform when needed. going into the convention, going into the debate i think people will be much more confident path that one speech. republicans within trump's and the broader republican world are very upset not just with trumps performance, but the campaigns. they did not see a commence or at response. >> the question of whether clinton could rise to the performance was an open question.
5:54 pm
we have the california primary coming on tuesday, that's pretty important. we have hillary clinton, bernie sanders, and donald trump grade. to stay night i expect them to be in new york -- tuesday night i expect them to be in new york. how does sanders react? does he continue to basically campaign, or move towards unity? the drumbeat has already started with harry reid and others, calling them to get out of the race. >> the six inches between bernie sanders' ears and what happens on wednesday morning, when he wakes up, where is his head at and what does he do going forward. ♪
