and glad to have you here. and we will be back in 10:00 for an hour of "newsroom." don't go anyway because michael smerconish is coming up. love him or hate him, donald trump is running a successful campaign, and how has he been able to pull it off? i will ask a noted trat gist with whom he has just parted company. and is the media giving him a free ride, because he is so good for the ratings? is and hillary turning over the private server, but anything on it? and tin clinton camp is getting nervous about the e-mail issue. we start today with the inside look of the donald trump campaign. how has he been able to defy the pundits like yours truly, a stay atop the gop candidates? the answers might lie inside of an internal trump camp that was

leaked by donald stone who has said that he left, but others say he was fired, and so he cut his teeth working for richard nixon and sports at the too of richard nixon there on the back. can we see the tattoo by the end of the segment? >> perhaps. >> if i play my cards right. and this is apparently ales said to reagan, you didn't get ele elected on the the details, but on themes. and this is what trump is doing. >> well, first of all, roger ails is a genius, and those who say that he is for this candidate or that candidate and trying to describe the candidate, no, he is about the success of the notework, and 24 million tuned in, because donald trump is great television. he is charismatic, and interesting and now you contrast

him with the 15 career politicians all of whom are trying to parse the words and be so careful, and trump is genuine and spontaneous and interesting. >> how long can he get away with the advice, you did not get elected on the details, but the themes. so he has to get the details. >> and i urge "time to get tough" and that was published in 2011. he has big themes and he has laid them out in writing, and he will lay them out as a campaign progressive. >> and something else from the campaign trail, be prepare for the first question, because it could very well go to you, and this is your opportunity to set the mood for the evening. and he got the question, and he did set the mood. >> yes, he did. first of all, i'm a little surprised that you are have that memo, and cnn and the washington post were the first to get it. and i won't characterize my direct advice to trump or the campaign other than to say that other than ronald reagan, he is the most charismatic, and

interesting and kind of the larger than life figure that i have worked for and voters are seeing the passion, and they are seeing a can-do guy and having a good time, and that reaganesque self-confidence just exudes from tr trump. >> and the internal memo is preparing from questions, will you run for a third a party candidate if you don't get the republican nod, and he says, all options are on the table. and this is how he handled the question. >> i cannot say that i have to say that i respect the person that if it is not me, if i don't win, but i am leading by quite a bit, and if u am the nominee, i will not run as a independent, but i am discussing it with everybody, but i am talking about a lot of leverage and we want to win, and we will win. but i want to win as the republican, and i want to run as

the republican nominee. >> i don't get it. so in the memo, you say to him, and someone says to him, be r ready for the first question, and if you are asked, whether to run as a third party candidate say that all options are on the table, and how is that a growth strategy within the gop, and aren't you offending all of the republicans? >> no, it is a nonpolitician's answer, and everybody knows what the politician's answer would be, but two of the guys, and three of them, and one of the them on either side were in discussion of boycotting the debates if trump were included. in 19 states, the republican bot bosses can just keep him off of the ballot, and if they don't give him a fair shot at the nomination, with well sh, then, yeah, he could pursue the nomination of the third party and if he did, you know what would happen? the democrats would run, and trump would run a strong second -- pardon me, the democrats would run, and republicans would lose and trump would win second. >> is that a lot of bluster?

>> well, it is nonsense, because he is the front-runner of the republican party, and why would we look at that. >> you are not answering the question. >> e yeah, i learned that a long time ago. >> and the ails strategy that you imparted to trump is to be thematic and don't get involved in the detalils. >> trump understood this long before me. and so i won't take any krcredi to this. >> and it is in black and white, and there is an exception to the the ails rule, and this, the memoranda says this is eccentric, and why detailed on this and not others? >> because it is a signature issue, and when he came out in the announcement speech, and identified crime by immigrants, the media elites, and the political elites went crazy that it is a disaster and the american people completely got it, and he zoomed to one, and

that is trump's instinct, and he is the one who ooh identified it illegal immigration as a hot button issue, and just like the treatment of the veterans today, and it is not the some poll or some memo, and it is osmosis, and everywhere, the veterans say, please, i'm a veteran and i can't get health kcare. >> i like the opportunity that we are giving the viewers to go into the trump war room and to understand this strategy, because you have been around for a long time, and how is he to work with as compared to other candidates, and does he take advice? >> he considers everyone's advice, but unlike all of the other presidential candidates they have worked for, he is unscripted and uncoached and unhandled, and it is that genuineness that people are digginging, and why he is doing so well. >> and last night in new hampshire, mr. trump had something to say, and i want to roll the tape, and ask roger stone a question. >> but jeb bush has $114 million and what is he going to do with

it? he is going to be hitting me with ads, and some point he has to, because he is going down the tubes, and he is going down tube, because there is no energy, and so when jeb and hill other candidates start spending money, remember this, that money was given by people that have total control over them. and those people, many of whom i know very well, they don't care about him, and they don't care about the color of his hair, and they don't care anything about him, and they don't care about the country in many case, and they only want whatever they want, and they will get plenty. >> on the subject of campaign fund-raising, and if you pull the f.e.c. report are from the trump campaign, he is doing it on a shoestring, and a major reimbursement for his own travel expense, and sooner or later, does he have to spend the dough? >> i am hopeful, and he reported $350 million in the liquid assets and he has the money, and he is a shrewd businessman and

understands the bottom line and he has propelled the campaign without massive spending, but when the going to gets tough, he has the bullets and he will use them. he a competitor and he is not going to let a $100 million in dirty wall street movie lavished on jeb bush to stop him in the efforts to change the country, and he just challenged the working class. >> and are you working for him? >> no. >> and you are supporting him? >> yes. >> and you are not look g fing that. >> no i had a privilege to work for two of the books, and for those who say he has no prescription, i urge you to go buy the book, because there's the prescription. >> and there is more than meets the eye with roger stone parting ways coming on my program and others and giving the big trump pitch. >> you media types are so

conspiratorial. >> no, the trump types. >> and unlike the others like ed rollins, i am not bad mouth iin my formers. >> are you serious, he is still with us. >> really? you could have fooled me. >> and the ubiquitous roger stone. and so is he getting a free ride? are the rants sparing him from getting specifics? we will go to talk to jackie collins who has written at the harvard school of business, and is he getting a free ride? >> well, as roger said, he is good tv, but at some point, it has to give way, and he has ridden it quite a while, but he

is being asked questions, and if he fills in the blanks, and as you asked roger, that immigration is one issue where he has to give specifics. he has said to 3wi8d a -- he has said to build a fence. and for 30 years i have been in washington, people have said to build a fence, and it is not feasible to be a solution. it can be done, and done in pieces, but it is the kind of thing. and major questions on the fiscal policy that are going to be be front and center in the fall. obamacare, repeal it? replace ce it with what? so there are questions to be asked. but campaigns, you can evade a lot of the details, and he will. >> i want to ask if there is a methodology the way he is approaching the media and the best is if i illustrate it with a montage from seth myers. watch this. >> is there anyone who calls

into more shows than donald trump. joining me on the phone is the man at the center of it all the political front-runner donald tru trump. >> on the phone, donald trump. >> on the phone, donald trump. >> joining us on the phone, donald trump. >> we have a phone call from somebody, and let me see who it is, donald trump. >> let me see who it is. >> good morning, darling. >> and you know how hard it is when somebody is on the phone. >> and even you and i doing it satellite on the phone, face-to-face, and you can say, body language, i have heard enough and i need to ask you a question, and is he using that to advantage? >> lest i jump on my brethren in the television industry, and he is doing the same thing and calling up my colleagues at the washington post, and others in the newspapers, and you have a picture of him sitting there in the boxer shorts speed dialing. but, you know, of course, people

are taking the call, and it is a reality tv coming to the presidential campaign, and what is interesting is that while he is getting all of the attention, bernie sanders on the left is actually drawing bigger crowds on the biggest crowds of anyone, and in facts of all of the republicans combined for his appearances, and he hasn't gotten near the attention. >> i am takewen the paper that you published at the loewenstein school at harvard and it is the pugh research using fox news as an outlet, and why is that of concern? >> well, it is based on the issue issues and the stance that people took at the poll, and it is based on 20% of the electorate, and the 20% of the conservatives are the people sure to go out not only to vote,

but contribute small amount ss the candidates and are engaged all of the time, writing letters to members of congress, calling up candidates, and so they are the ones that really get a response, and i mean, political science studies show that consistently, politicians respond to the people who are engaged. and so, when you have consistent conservatives hard-line conservatives, those are the ones that the candidates are responding to. >> your thesis is that this overreliance on the conservative outlets, not only fox, but talk radio and a variety of the internet sites is actually driving the gop into a ditch. how so? >> well, i didn't exactly put it that way, and what i will say about the paper, interviewed dozens of republicans, and it is their conclusion to me, a lot of these are what the conservative republicans or the hard right republicans in media and the base would call establishment

republicans, but which are of course, a pejorative in the lingo these days, but they are saying that the party can no longer govern and cannot pick presidential candidates with popular appeal once they get through the primary process. >> but the response, the retort is to say that wait a minute, if only the republican party were to put up a pure conservative and not a john mccain or mitt romney, and the true believers believe they can with win the white house. >> that is why it is a win-win with the media and the conservative base, because in 1964, they got their way with barry goldwater nominated and he went on to be one of the biggest defeats in political history, and the republican establishment then which is much more moderate said that, you know, that saw that it was proof that we had lanced the boil, and that somebody that conservative is unelectable.

>> and i have a minute left with us, and i want to show you what sean spicer, the head of the communications wing said to me in offering him the theory two weeks ago on this program. roll it. >> the problem is that for so long the left wing, mainstream media has taken the people to the left and focuses on the issue issues that a lot of the conservative activists and conservative voters have not cared about and a shock wave through the mainstream media when they recognize how the issues and the concerns that the conservative media are bringing up that don't go covered. you are looking at the recent planned parenthood scandal, and it the kon ser conservative med bringing that scandal to light and to shed, and to share the concerns coming up, and if left up to "the new york times" and the are rest of the mainstream media, it would be swept under the rug? is this the stuff of the liberal times and the harvard and the kennedy school?

>> of the planned parenthood, i have done seven of them and one of them is an interview with david delieden who produced the hidden camera interviews, and wrote the home page for a number of hours, but it has been a claim of the right for decades, going back to post world war ii where they are so, well, back to franklin roosevelt where they saw the mainstream immediamediat leaning and devised alternative s through the years, and we have seen a proliferation through the internet and tech noe lnologica advances that the media is so widespread that people who want to go to the news sources to validate the biases don't have to look at anything but conservative media. >> it is through so much choice that those among us are exercising it. and i think that the report is

worthy and i have posted it on my website. thank you, jackie. >> thank you, michael. and hillary has no mail. her server is turned over to the fbi and we have new information on what the feds are looking for, and the washington post says today that it is making the campaign very nervous. you are so out of here! ahh... the complete balanced nutrition of great tasting ensure. with nine grams of protein... and 26 vitamins and minerals. ensure. take life in. toenail fungus? seriously? smash it with jublia! jublia is a prescription medicine proven to treat toenail fungus. use jublia as instructed by your doctor. look at the footwork! most common side effects include ingrown toenail, application site redness, itching, swelling, burning or stinging, blisters, and pain. smash it! make the call and ask your doctor if jublia is right for you. new larger size now available. plaque psoriasis. moderate to severe

hillary clinton has turned her private e-mails over to the fbi, and this is supposed to be a come-clean campaign moment, but one thing that is apparently clean is the server. the company that provided it says that all of the data is gone, but clinton says that all of the work-related e e-mails have been turned over to the state department and a thumb drive with those e-mails has been given to the feds. and inspector general says that classified information did show up in some of clinton's e-mails and according to new york times the fbi is trying to figure out how it got there and if the server was breeched with by any foreign intelligence agencies, and the whole e-mail controversy has taken a toll on the image, and her campaign has gone from nonchalant to nervous. joining me are two pros. joseph is a man who has worked

on the spy case to john hinkley's case. and lanny, let me begin with you, that everybody knows that secretary state clinton utilized a private e-mail server, and she said that she saw no need to hand over the server, and yet she has. what has changed? >> the inspector general of the community has found 2 of 4 e-mails that the inspector general of the intelligence community believes contains classified information, and the state department disagrees, and it happens a lot. >> was there anything on the server when she handed it over? >> i don't know the answer to that. i am not her attorney, but i know what she has said publicly which is that she has turned over everything that she and the state department staff believed

to be official business and some of it not official which we are have seen in reading them, and nothing else left in the personal or private e-mail which are her privacy rights which she did not preserve. >> and joe, lanny's point is to say that there is nothing classified on the then server and when that server was in her custody and control and that these are retro and that it is true? >> no, it does not make any difference and it is not true. we believe that some of the markings were taken awe of the documents. remember what the documents are. the two that brought the fbi into the case are top secret sensitive classified information. this is stuff of the highest level. you can't get any higher than this. and over 6 1/2 years this server sat in the private residence with no security whatsoever of the type require by the

intelligence community. the fact that information like this, and believe me there is plenty of it and you can extrapolate from what is revealed that there is all kinds of classified information that must have been communicated with her understandably for her to properly do her job. >> and lanny, respond to this. >> let me read from the associated press, clinton did not transmit the sensitive information herself, the sources said, and nothing in the e-mails she received makes clear reference to the message intercepts, and confidential intelligence and information sourcing and the one they are referring to included a newspaper article about drones, and the state department says they are not highly classified, joe, and it is a debate between the state and the intelligence community and not what you the describe adds a violation of law. >> well, i don't care what the state department says at this state, because they are

completely unreliable with the production and classification, and the federal judge supervising the freedom of information case says if he does not get any better cooperation he is holding them in contempt. i am going with the inspector general who says they are top secret and compartmentalized information and that is a sample of a few. the bottom line if you are secretary of state and you are maintaining a private server to conduct the business and to think that no classified business to come into that server is ludicrous, and that is why the fbi demanded it, and they did not voluntarily turn it over, and the fbi said that you will turn it over or you will get a grand jury subpoena. >> and joe, what you said there is false. >> and lenny, you will get a chance to respond. >> it is not credible, and there is no threat of a subpoena, and that is false. >> it is true.

>> and the optics are horrendous, and that is my assessment, but any evidence indeed that there was a national security breach. >> of course there is. the evidence is quite clear, and first of all, you listen to the inspector general of the intelligence community, and beyond that, but are we to believe that for 6 1/2 years she maintained a server is and got no classified information on it, and that is not speculation, but it is assumption, and lenny, you are are not the lawyer, and how do you know that she was not threatened with the subpoena? >> well, i believe what i u read in the newspapers, and she turned it over voluntarily, and this is the first time on the public record and nobody but you, joe, has said that, and i agree with you that there is a great difficulty in proving the the negative that there was not some classified information retroactively, because the inspector general that you believe, and there is no reason to disbelieve him, and it is his opinion, but he said that there

is no designation of classification status on any of the e e-mails that he reviewed 4 of them out of the 55,000 pages, and holding him as of now what we know that she did not turn over anything with classified information as a stamp, and that is what we know now, and i can't prove the negative, joe, but a that is it. >> and it is completely irrelevant, and she knew, and everybody around her, and ms. mills who is a smart lawyer and ms. aberdeen, that the secretary of state receives classified information all of the time in conversation and direct briefings and e-mail, and the notion that she is going to maintain that she never received or sent classified information in 6 1/2 years on the only server she ever used to perform her official duties is ludicrous. >> and joe, the point is that people hear this and assume that because there was classified

information sent to a private server that it necessarily ended up in hands that should not have had it, and that is not the case, right? we don't have any evidence that there was indeed a security breach which put that classified information into the hands of individuals who should not have seen it? >> we don't know that, but that is not the point, and that is not what this investigation is about, and it is not about unauthorized disclosure or interception of the third party, but it is about where the information is kept which is unauthorized location in violation of federal law. that is not a secured server and maintained in insecure location and that is violation of law. >> lanny, respond to joe's point, because joe makes an important point. >> and direct response is when joe says that we don't know, we both agree. when joe speculates, i agree that it is hard to prove the negative. we do know that the inspector general himself said that the

information that she transferred to the private server was not labeled classified and we have also no evidence that the security of her server that was established by the secret service first for president clinton is less secure than the opm service that was hack and the white house server that was hack and anybody who watches who beliefs that the white house server is more secure than the clinton's, and not many people out there who agree with that, j joe. >> and thank you, gentlemen. >> thank you. >> you're welcome. >> and up next, after a short break, jesse "the body" ventura, and he took on the american sniper and won big. it is a fascinating story, and i will tell you why some of america's biggest news outlets are now lining up against him. while every business is unique,

"american sniper" the story starring bradley cooper about chris kyle was a box office smash, and one former navy s.e.a.l. was not e pleased with the book jesse ventura who filed suit against kyle and won. he was awarded a $1.8 million. in the book, he wrote that he

started a bar fight against a man who hated the s.e.a.l.s and later said it was ventura and now, here to explain is governor ventura. i have read the brief, and floyd abrams and this guy is the dean of first amendment lawyer s s i the united states, and why have these 33 media outlets have all come in on the case on the other side? >>le with, i guess they want the ability to can defame people and make money. they want to be able to profit from wrongdoing. they feel that when they defame you, which michael, as you know the bar is already extremely high in a defamation case and how overwhelming the evidence must have been to beat a deceased war veteran and his wid e doe. and it was immense that showed it never happened.

and i won overwhelmingly, and what they don't like the fact that there is a thing called unjust enrichment where if you defame somebody and profit from that defamation, the defendant has the right to or the plaintiff in my case, has the right to have some of that money, because you made money defaming him. and the example in this book was that this book came out at trial, and this book had only sold 4,000 copies, and he went on opie and anthony and the o'reilly factor, and the major story was him allegedly beating me up, which is totally fabricate and never happened and proved it in court. >> and governor, what i know and remember from law school and from my own practice is that "the new york times" versus the sullivan case which is someone like you a public figure in order for you the succeed has to show reckless disregard for the

truth or knowledge of falsity, and so that jury in minnesota had to believe that was the case. and what has this done to you and harmed you within the military community? >> it has harmed me immensely, and in fact, a petition went out signed by likeb 200 former navy s.e.a.l.s and u.d.t. guys to have me thrown out of the u.d.t.s.e.a.l. group where i have been a member since the 1970s and i have always supported the underwater demolition seal team, and why would i bad mouth the unit. i was out there at the time to attend the graduation of class 258, because it is traditional and i am class 258 to go to the centennial graduation and the bi-s bicentennial and if i dislike them why would i be out there to honor them, and the whole story was made up to make money.

>> i remember reading marcus latrelle's "lone survival" book, and when he completed the bud's training you were one of the guys there from the s.e.a.l. community there to welcome him into the fold -- >> well, not exactly, michael. i was there to secure hell week to be the first phase and the first civilian to secure hell week, and it happened to be marcus latrelle's class. >> and this is what i want to point out to the viewers and while it had a page and a half reference to the bar fight which the jury concluded that it did not make, and it did not make the movie, and i presume it did not make the movie because of the lawsuit and how did it make you feel that the box office set for you to nknow about the underlying facts and fiction? >> well, first of all, and i i only know that the only thing that i will comment on is my chapter and i don't know anything about the other, and i

never was in iraq and i have been long since discharged, mike. the only thing that i can tell you is that the chapter on me is a total and bogus and made-up lie. plain and simple. it is like a booster rocket when you go to outer space. you have a rocket that gets you out into space, and then it falls off. i was that booster rocket that propelled this book to number one. when they sold 100,000 copies based upon the story, and they didn't talk about kyle shooting someone from 1,500 meters away as he alleged, but they talked about the feature story was his confrontation with jesse ven t a ventura, a nd they went so far s harper collins made it if you typed my name to the internet, it would go immediately to the story to help them sell books, and that is how bad it was. >> and i want you to help me to clear up a discrepancy and nothing to do with chris kyle, and i am a stern guy, and i have

heard that you could comprise a hell of a ticket and now you are attaching to trump a and so which is it going to be? >> i did not attach to trump, but i had roger stone on the internet show off of the grid and we were having fun, and i have known roger and donald for 25 years and all i have done is that i appreciate that trump is breaking up the system, and causing havoc as an incomplete independent who despises both of the parties, and they are ruining the kun can tri, and this is the best thing that i could see happen is that donald trump and what he is doing, and all i did was to say, gee, if donald really wanted the drive them crazy he should pick me as a running mate, because aim the most fierce independent that there is in the country, and i said, imagine what the republicans would do with that, and so it was really done -- >> what's the -- >> i was not serious. >> and what is the fate of stern-trump or stern-ventura?

>> well, howard turned me down when i talked to him last spring and i thought that maybe he sold out because he is making the big money at nbc now, and he had chris christie to the birthday party and all that stuff, so i don't know if the howard today is the howard of old, because he is not rebelled today as much as he used to. but i have my reasons, you know, and as far as the donald trump goes, if he asked me to run with him, i would give it serious consideration, because way back when i won governor of minnesota, trump thought about running as the reform party candidate for president, and i said that i would love it if he did it then and i love it now. i love what he is doing, breaking up the good old boy network and exposing it for what it is. >> thank you, governor, and good luck in the lawsuit. >> michael, thank you very much for having me, and thank you for allowing me to let the public know about it.

>> i read the brief and i understand this area of the law, and i am surprised that cnn is not on this list with all of the rest. >> i want the people to know that this is not costing the widow or the children a nickel. i am out over $1 million and theirs is paid by an insurance company as will any settlement or anything with it. and it is done by insurance not kyle's family. >> all right. thank you, governor ventura, and if you think that trump is bombastic, and i will introduce you to mort downy j, jr., and ty called him the evocuteur. >> i abtain from all animal products including clothing.

the media is increasingly polarized and so, too, since. and coincidence? i think not, because too many politicians are taking their cues from the loud mouth successors to curry favor with the successors. and this thursday, on cnn, there is going to be the commentary of the evocateur, and downy's approach was all bark and bombast, and before jerry springer, it was downy cursing at guests and chain smoking on set, and before is sedate hosts like phil donahue and oprah and sally jessy raphael, and many guests or targets of downy's wrath are still familiar faces.
