>> in the meantime, trump sparred with jeb bush. the frontrunner of the republican party tells bush who is bilingual to speak english in the u.s. sara murray is following all this live for us in the washington bureau. >> reporter: good morning, makaela. we have a big meeting between donald trump and reince priebus. right after that trump scheduled a press conference at trump tower. the big question of whether we'll finally see trump pledge his loyalty to the republican party. >> unbelievable. >> reporter: by day's end reince priebus could have an answer from donald trump. will he or won't he rule out a third-party bid. >> did you vote for trump? >> i did. >> reporter: in nashville recently, trump, a former democrat, explaining why he prefers to run as a republican. >> that would certainly be the best path to victory. and we're going to make a

decision very soon. and i think a lot of people are going to be very happy. >> reporter: on tuesday the party is circulating a loyalty pledge to the gop contenders. an apparent attempt to neutralize trump's run as an independent which could jeopardize the gop's trying to retake the white house. >> you are not going to make the pledge. >> i will not make the pledge at this time. >> reporter: now the rnc wants it in writing asking trump to sign an agreement stating he will not seek to run as an independent or accept the nomination for president of any other party. if he fails to win the republican nomination in 2016. trump's meeting comes on the heels of his controversial remarks in bright bart news. trump telling "bright bart news" he should set an example by

speaking english in the united states. bush lashed back saying trump was, quote, trying to kill the party. attacking any american who is bilingual. the war of words escalating as trump's unfavorable numbers remain sky high among hispanics. now back to this big meeting today between reince priebus and donald trump, sources are telling cnn that all signs point to trump signing this pledge, ruling out a third-party bid. but as we know, he can't make any promises when it comes to donald trump as he tends to be a little unpredictable. and all signs point to a big news conference today in new york, which is what donald trump gets, a whole lot of cameras. we know he likes that. sara, stick around. i want to bring in washington correspondent jeff zeleny as well. it's clear to me why the republican party wants this pledge and wants everyone to commit to staying in their party and not running as a third-party candidate because of this poll. how would an independent trump run impact the 2016 race? well, hillary clinton if she's the nominee would run away with it.

the republicans almost can't win with trump running as a third party. on the other hand from trump's standpoint, jeff, why not sign this pledge? it's unenforceable. in nine months if he says i want to run as a third-party candidate, what can they do about it? >> reporter: you're absolutely right. it is entirely unenforceable. there's another deadline looming here and one of the reasons donald trump is likely to do this today. it's the south carolina primary. they have their own loyalty pledge. and, of course, that is on september 30th. you have to sign it before then. and the south carolina primary is a must-win, must-stop for any republican presidential candidate. of course, it comes after iowa, new hampshire and then south carolina. so that's one of the reasons he's doing it today. i'm also today it's one of the reasons to get this out of the way before the next debate. as we know, our cnn debate is coming up in two weeks. if he gets this off the table it allows him to move to other issues. john, a couple of the other republican campaigns i've talked

to since the news broke last night say they are a little more worried about this now because they believe it's another sign that donald trump is taking this presidential campaign even more seriously than they thought he was before. so he may be even a bigger threat now here. so this is going to be a fascinating few hours coming up and an interesting afternoon as you said. >> so true. donald trump has a press conference at 2:00 p.m. we have chris christie and carly fiorina on our show and will ask them about this. meanwhile, donald trump gave a somewhat controversial statement to "bright bart" in an interview about jeb bush. they have been sparring verbally. so here's the latest one. he says, i like jeb, he's a nice man. but he should really set the example by speaking english while in the united states. as we know, jeb bush is bilingual and sometimes speaks on the campaign trail in spanish. sara, this is something conservatives have been saying a long time. english should be the official language of the united states. people, when you're in america, you should speak english. but, you know, for candidates it

has not been politically correct to say that until donald trump. how do you think this plays? >> well, i think there are a lot of republican voters who will be happy to hear this coming from donald trump. but i think we have seen that as he rallies support around his immigration policies. but for a republican party to improve its outreach to hispanic voters and women, making comments like this is not particularly helpful. it is all the more ironic to say donald trump will be in a meeting with reince priebus today. and nobody has worked harder to reince priebus to reach out to hispanic voters. many are saying, why are we having this fight about speaking english in america? a number of the candidates agree this should be the official language of the united states, this is not a fight to be picking. >> it is so interesting to me because jeb bush being bilingual is supposed to be one of his strengths. i mean, he speaks spanish whenever he can on the stump.

he did it during his announcement speech. and for donald trump to go right after him in an area supposed to be his strength is fascinating. the bush campaign responded in their own tweet and said, as donald trump tries to kill the party attacking any american who is bilingual, jeb is attracting new conservatives. jeff? >> that's exactly right, but donald trump is appealing to the core base of the party. so a segment of the party, perhaps, it's one in four voters or more than that, think it's absolutely right what he's saying. jeb bush, of course, has a bigger picture in mind. so for a general election audience, his background is biography, the fact he speaks spanish is such a plus. but in this moment, in this republican primary campaign, it is being viewed as a negative for him. but if you watch how this race has been covered by spanish language television, which is a key segment here, it's fascinating. donald trump says he's going to win hispanics but the polls say something differently.

some 80% disapprove of hispanic voters here. so jeb bush is still going to try to take the long road and stay the course here and not be baited into this. but not the kind of conversation that anyone in the republican party wanted to have at this point. >> look at the numbers, you still have an incredibly high unfavorable number. 82% among hispanic voters. sara, we'll talk about the democratic side of the race because joe biden, vice president, continues to play a bit of a cat and house game in terms of whether or not he'll be getting into the race. he was at a community college in florida yesterday and said he was astonished by all the press there that was so interested in community colleges. maybe we have that sound. listen to this from the vice president. >> and by the way, it's amazing how good the school is. look at all the pressure you've attracted. they are interested in community

colleges and it impresses me greatly. and i hope that's what they are going to write about. >> sara, when is he going to decide? >> well, look, they say he's going to make a decision by the end of the summer. so will he or won't he jump in the race? look, you saw joe biden on the stump yesterday and he seems perfectly happy to have that kind of attention, to have the cameras on him. later on he went to a fund-raiser and didn't sound like he gave much away in terms of his attention or intentions because i think he likes the attention. he likes people talking about the potential of joe biden jumping in the race. but as we know, this is a difficult decision to make and a personal decision to make. and i think he realizes he's a relatively short timeframe to turn this over and decide whether to run. >> you called it a cat and mouse game. jeff zeleny has been a cat chasing joe biden to get answers. quickly in ten seconds or left, did it feel like he was running when you were watching him yesterday? >> in that speech it was very vice presidential giving a speech as vice presidents do, but john, behind the scenes

people are still gearing up for the potential of a run. if he decides to run, there will be machinery in place to do so. but that speech was pretty ordinary except for the fact that all of us were there watching this. otherwise ordinary. >> jeff, sara, thank you so much. coming up later, we'll speak with republican candidates carly fiorina and new jersey governor chris christie. >> and be sure to turn on your tv, tune in, do it all for the republican presidential debate hosted by cnn on wednesday, september 16th, i believe, at 6:00 p.m. eastern. this will be an event you cannot miss. all right. our other top story, the search for three suspects in the shooting death of an illinois police officer is expanding this morning. overnight police thought they were closing in ramping up their search in one area based on the tip that turned out to be a hoax. a painful turn as that community mourns the slain officer.

we are live with developments there and more. rosa? >> reporter: that was a waste of resources and emotions. probably more than anything, think about this. just hours before the hoax call came in, there was a very emotional vigil for this lieutenant. and there were dozens of law enforcement officers there. i was there and saw them either holding back tears or wiping tears off their faces. overnight police descending on this cornfield just five miles south of fox lake where lieutenant joe glinowiecz was gunned down. police told by this woman that two men tried to get in her car.

>> she admitted she fabricated the entire story. she fabricated the story looking for attention from a family that she nannies for. she was aware that a police officer was killed in this area and she indicated that's why she chose this area to fabricate her story. >> reporter: she now faces two charges of disorderly conduct further complicating an already difficult investigation with few clues. we are working very hard to restore the peace and calmness in this community once again. >> reporter: the sea of a thousand people attending the vigil wednesday night. a testament to the impact g.i. joe as he's known had on this community for 30 years. >> joe was my best friend, my world, my hero. my world got a little bit smaller with his passing. >> where do you think that she

found her strength to speak in front of several thousand people? >> i could only think that the strength comes from knowing that joe knows that people needed to hear something from her. so that they can find some strength from all of this. nothing makes sense in the world right now. >> reporter: keifer is waking up in bond this morning with her bond set. police here are looking and following through every clue. now to san antonio, texas, where there's pressure to release a second home video showing that fatal police shooting from a different angle. the sheriff says the unreleased video appears to show the suspect had a knife in his hand but she could not say if the knife or a knife was found at the scene. sara sidner is live with more.

>> reporter: the sheriff's department saying the video is troubling because it shows the suspect had both of his hands up when shot and killed by deputies. however, it did appear the suspect had a knife in one of his hands. that video is going to be sent to the texas department of public safety so that they can zoom in and get a closer shot of that actual hand and to get a very slowed down version of the video so you can see every single detail. those details are troubling to the attorney the family has hired. the attorney of gilbert flores killed by deputies who says, why can't they just release the video to the public? >> if you've got a video, you need to send forensics to look at a video to see if there's something in your hand or not in your hand. that's certainly an interesting

scientific concept because we all have eyes, and we should be able to all see it and see that second video. >> reporter: now we did talk to a source who did see the video, see that second video, saying that actually the suspect was acting wildly aggressive toward the police and was basically charging them with a knife at one point. but the ultimate point here is whether or not the officers were in imminent danger when say thought and killed the suspect. john? >> sara, thank you so much. there's a dramatic scene unfolding right now in hungary. a train full of thousands of migrants has just left the station in budapest after refugees forced their way onto this train. this is breaking right now. cnn's senior international correspondent arwa damon is live on that train at this moment. arwa, describe the scene. >> reporter: just take a look at how crowded this station is.

we are 20 to 30 miles outside of budapest. these are families around us right now that all need the war in syria making this horrific journey with their children. they are not entirely 100% sure where this train is going to end up. some people told them it's a town that's on the hungarian very australian border. and they could be going to a camp, they don't know. they got on the train uncertain where they were going but just wanted to cling to small and little hope that maybe it would get them all the way to germany because they just couldn't take it. they couldn't take staying in the budapest train station any more. there is a police presence outside at this location that we're stopped at creating quite a bit of uneasy amongst those who are here. when we first rolled up here and they saw the police force, there was a little bit of panic where they thought they would be forcibly removed from the train. everyone agreed if that were to happen, they would not. it's a very uncertain situation.

and it's quite frightening for the parents. they are telling no one to get off the train, but quite frightening for the parents because if they do try to forcibly remove these people, there's a lot of children among them, especially small, little children. people got on this train because they saw that the station was open. they assumed that maybe they would be going to germany. some of them did receive word that no people would be crossing international borders, but they have to cling to that little hope because they have no other choice but to just try to get out of hungary. >> arwa, you're reporting and live shot there just brings home to us the uncertainty and unease on the train car. we see a lot of men around you. are there also women and children on that train? >> reporter: sure. let me introduce you to some of these families. this little girl, she's 8. and earlier she was reciting the

abc's, to her newfound friend just two-and-a-half years old. she's over here sleeping in her mother's lap. they are from syria. they are from damascus. and her mom has really been struggling to provide a little bit of dignity for her daughter. her most important thing in all of this has been to keep her daughter clean. and now she has her dressed in her favorite little hello kitty clothing. and now we have a family here from syria who also fled the war fair. all of these people who we spoke to throughout the entire journey said they left because they thought that if they left these children back home, they would end up dead there. all of them who are around us right now live on various different front lines that is the war in syria. from different parts, some of them traveling together, a lot of them meeting throughout this entire journey. and some of them making the trip with relatives.

reme who i spoke to earlier, her parents are in turkey but the family could only afford for one person to make this trip, so they chose and had her be the one to go with her uncle to try to give her a chance. >> arwa, we could just never see a more stark illustration of the crisis and what you're showing us. please check back with us over the next two hours to let us know what happens with that train and where it's headed. thank you so much for that report. we also want to show you this look and this heartbreaking image that sparked a major outcry around the world. it's a little syrian migrant boy being cradled in the arms of a turkish police officer after his body washed up on the beach. his family identified him as 3-year-old island who drowned after his boat sank off the coast of turkey along with his brother and mother. the family was reportedly trying to reach canada. >> that's tragic to see. the history in this world and an icon of ships not getting to the port of trade. not getting into countries right

now, not a good history and needs to be addressed. >> it's important to understand, too, these are refugees fleeing homelands wore-torn. not just people trying to change their lives, they are fleeing danger. >> you are seeing the kids so distressed on the train, it brings it home. some other news, the manhunt widens for three suspected killers of an illinois police officer. it's been a warning for the country's top law enforcement officials that no one is safe. what is behind the rise in gun violence? how to stop it? that's next.

was so early. why would three people be in this warehouse area at 7:52 when the first call comes in. but what do you think is behind that? >> well, that depends. were they just transients moving around and did they overtake this officer and take his gun and shoot him with his own gun? i haven't yet heard the results of that ballistic test. if that's the case, maybe they had warrants or were fleeing because they had drugs on them. it just was an unfortunate circumstance. but if they were there for a reason and armed themselves, it gives a whole new picture that law enforcement can start digging into. and unfortunately when you don't have dna or fingerprints, you have cameras, you have sources and you have motives. and those are the things they have to start digging into. >> and you think if they were there for a reason in this warehouse area at that time, it's because they might be smugglers of some kind? >> could be trafficking guns, could have had a shipment of drugs coming in. at all times of days and all kinds of different people, you would be very surprised who we

end up arresting in the bureau or in law enforcement in general that are trafficking guns and drugs. >> we'll talk about this incident out of san antonio, texas, where two police officers were responding to a domestic officer. we have all seen this video and it looks to our experienced eye that he had his hands up. we slow-mo'd it here and spot shadowed it so you can see it more clearly. you see something different through your law enforcement lens. what do you see? >> i see imminent threat already. >> how? >> because this individual has, what appears to be a knife. going on what the information is that we have that a child was cut, there was a domestic disturbance and that he was wielding a knife, he walks out and switches hands at least once with whatever the object is that he has. and then turns around toward police. what we have to realize is that imminent threat doesn't mean

that this individual is charging a cop. if he has a weapon that's deadly, within 21 feet, i can strike somebody and medical reportly wound them and kill them with a knife. knife attacks -- the statistics are more dangerous than a gunshot. so as that individual comes out of the house, he's an imminent threat holding that weapon. officers can shoot him at any time. >> it's such an interesting perspective because we see his hands going up, which means no longer is a threat to the public. >> we don't know what he has behind the pole. if there's a knife in his hand, he can lunge with that knife. this means imminent threat. do they have the weapon and build the point up to where you die, you could die and an officer could take deadly force at that time. >> always great to get your perspective. thank you.

a manhunt continues at this hour for three suspects want maryland the shooting death of an illinois police officer. his murder and other recent attacks against police have many questioning if law enforcement are being targeted as retaliation for high-profile police-involved shooting deaths. we want to discuss it with charles bloat from the new york times. and karl watson is here. i love to talk to the two of you. a dream come true again. sadly, we have to talk about what we're seeing going on right now. you both -- we haven't had you here since the sheriff in texas, harris county, made the comments

linking the death of one of his deputies there, linking the black lives matter movement to his death. obviously, speaking in a heat of moment, he hasn't backed down. first of all, what are your thoughts on saying that? >> it's incredibly dangerous and reckless. because there is, to my knowledge, no proof whatsoever that this particular shooter was animated by that. this tragedy, that sheriff deputy should not be dead. however, the shooter -- the shooting happens before the clip we keep playing, the day before, he could not possibly have heard that. that possibly could not have influenced him. so what is the evidence of a link? and even when anderson cooper kind of pushed him on that, he says, well, it was just his suspicion that's what happened. >> not really room for suspicion in an investigation. and they often encourage us, the

media, to sort of let the investigation play its part, carlos. >> it points out how risky the situation is and the sheriffs are in. the sheriff was promoted earlier this year. undoubt undou undoubtedly this is sad. >> very much so. >> the other piece of it is the whole conversation about race that has always been difficult despite the fact that we have our first black president. and i think that president obama is increasingly going to get called into this conversation. it was a really interesting piece in "the wall street journal" comparing this president to 1968 when in some ways president obama could be asked to go further back to lbj saying we shall overcome, and in many ways try to move the nation forward on this conversation. and i think president obama may be asked too that because so many people struggle to do it

well. >> it is a difficult conversation because we struggle to talk about it here. several of our writers have written op-eds about this matter of police and community. don turner wrote in "the "chicago tribune"," i understand why some people want to complain with the deaths of the civilians at the hands of the police officers and the hands of the bad civilians, but they fundamentally are not the same. she goes on to say that we expect the bad guys to do bad things, but that is not our expectation when it comes to police officers. she says, when an officer acts with impunity it's a far bigger crime. do you agree with that? >> absolutely. you expect the criminals to commit crimes. you do not expect police officers to commit crimes. and when they do, it eats away at the foundation of democracy. because democracy is built on our belief and faith in the system. and if we -- we give police officers incredible amounts of power and authority because we want them to keep society civil and to keep us safe. and if that feels like it is

being turned on the citizens who have given the power, then it eats away at our ability to believe in the system itself. >> let's look at some of the statistics there have been about police deaths. so far this year, if i understand it correctly, 26 police officer deaths already this year. 30 last year. one is too many, let's just say that right out. we all believe that and know that. there are some, carlos, saying this is reaching epidemic proportions. you have the attorney general, loretta lynch, saying no one is safe. how much does the fever pitch and the rhetoric that is around this, do you think, aligns with reality? >> again, you said one is too many. and when you look at the numbers you just pointed out, there's been a slight decrease year over year. even a larger decrease over the last four years, but one is too many. but i think what attorney general lynch said is powerful on multiple levels. she's not just looking at police officers or citizens who have been killed by police, but she obviously pointed out the

situation in charleston and pointed out the situation with journalists in virginia recently. >> the theater massacre. >> all of these in a context and in a context of violence and a context of danger. and you heard her say it's not really clear why it's happening in many of the big cities from chicago to new york to baltimore. in some ways that's even more worrisome. >> but that's a bigger question because it involves race, gun violence and poverty. there are so many arms to this horrible octopus. >> but i do caution against making the equivalancy. the idea that in the attorney in texas after goforth was killed said every city has a few bad apples. this is not a bad apple. a bad apple, you called in sick and are on vacation.

a bad apple is you took home office supplies from work. when you shoot me and i'm dead and i can no longer be alive again, that is no longer about bad apples. because it has now eaten away at my ability, the whole community's ability -- >> especially when you put your trust in public service. >> these are not equally yolked. >> charles blow, carl watson, thank you for bringing your great minds to us. emotions boiling over in kentucky. some county clerks standing in the way of same sex couples who want to get married. how will this get resolved? we'll speak to the republican nominee for governor of kentucky, that's next. ♪ we stop arthritis pain, so you don't have to stop. because you believe in go. onward. today's the day. carpe diem. tylenol® 8hr arthritis pain has two layers of pain relief. the first is fast.

rowen county clerk office. the kentucky clerk says it is against her religious beliefs, even though the supreme court says, it is now the law of the la land. with us is the governor of kentucky, thank you so much for joining us this morning. we have a statement that says, we have brave concerns about the reported failure to comply with the court's order and this is the key line. government officials are free to disagree with the law but not disobey it. your reaction. >> i think that's certainly a fair statement. and i would agree, we are a nation of laws, no question about it. this is a question about reconciling contention that exists within the law itself. in my proposal, it's simply been there's no reason to subjugate the rights of one group in order to accommodate the rights of another, that the two can

coincide why fully. and this is the proposal that i have put forward. it's what good governance does. >> the rights of one group pitted against the rights of another. the supreme court says same sex couples have the right to marry. whose rights are you protecting? >> well, there's also the first amendment, and is existing long before there's any interpretation of the 14th amendment to accommodate the rights of same sex couples. and this is the right of all -- we talk equal protection under the law that's very important. i agree this is something that should sought. it's interesting on the intro in there was a comment she's refusing to issue same sex marriage licenses. and while that is true enough, she's actually refusing to issue any marriage licenses right now because of this impasse. when she was sworn in, my concern with this issue is only this. this isn't about who can get married and who cannot. truth be told, why did the government even have to condone the binding of any two

consenting adults? why is the government even involved in this? that's a whole other topic. as it stands now, that's the process and that's the process here in kentucky. so how do we reconcile the fact that the kentucky constitution declares marriage to be something different than the u.s. constitution has now declared? there is an impasse, but it could easily be reconciled, if, in fact, we made this a downloadable form. hawaii has been marrying same sex couples probably longer than anyone. and if we were to make this a downloadable form, make it one that could be downloaded and/or picked up in hard copy, filled out, notarized by the appropriate official and brought to the county clerk's office and filed like a lien or mortgage, then you remove the contention. >> but what if kim davis says her religious beliefs don't let her file it? where is the line? >> that's not the issue. >> why not? >> there's no issue with that. there's not a county clerk in

this state that would have any issue doing what i just described. in fact, they have asked for this. what i'm calling on is our state's governor and our attorney general to stand in the gap and to govern. i'm running against a man who is the state's attorney general, the overseer of all laws in this state. the man on this very issue stood before the cameras and cried about his inability to do the job he had sworn in oath to do. he had failed to do that. >> isn't this fundamentally about three county clerks in kentucky saying i'm not going to listen to the supreme court of the united states right now? >> no, it's fundamentally about the fact they want their first amendment rights also treated as equally as the rights of others. i think that's a fair saying. nobody should have their rights subjugated. >> nobody is saying they have to get married or that kim davis has to marry a woman. all they are saying is issue a same sex certify call to the couples who want to be married.

>> let me ask you a question, in recent years we have come to the conclusion that whatever comes from the supreme court is and is no question the highest legal authority of land. but we have separation of powers for a reason. if you go back, there's issuances from this very supreme court that have been contentious as well. one was dread scott in 1957. in reaction to that, no, listen to me, in reaction to that statement by the supreme court that blacks in this case were the properties of whites or could be, some states said that's unacceptable. and they were known as abolitionist states. >> but sir, is human bondage the same thing in your mind as approving or disapproving or letting other people get married? >> no, not even a little. this is about what is legally the case. and we're talking about illegal

interaction. have you heard one thing from kim davis or the other about same sex couples? have any of the other couples brought this up? they have not. >> what if you have an atheist county clerk who for whatever reason not based on religion but didn't think gays should be married. would the atheist clerk have the same right not to issue the marriage license in your mind? >> you can spin off any number of hiypotheses. i have proposed a very doable and workable solution. one that is in place in other states right now. one that could resolve this, allow all people to have equal protection under the law, allowing same sex couples and heterosexual couples to be

married and allow the county clerks to be the ones not officiating this by putting their name on the document. this is easily resolved. if this is truly about people's rights to marry, that could easily be resolved. >> if it were up to you and not the supreme court, would gay couples be getting married in kentucky? >> it is enough put to me singularly. as governor, it will not be my decision that weighs in but the will of the people of kentucky. and ten years ago it was very different than now, but the point is this. it can be resolved and should be resolved. we owe it to every kentuckian who is involved in this nasty situation for no good reason. >> thank you for coming in to talk about this issue. good luck, sir. >> thank you. what is your take on all this? tweet us using #newdaycnn.

we have a lot more news to get to right now, let's get to it. >> the gop frontrunner and all the republican candidates are being asked to sign a loyalty pledge. will he or won't he rule out a third party bid? >> donald trump slamming jeb bush for speaking spanish on the campaign trail. >> trump's negative among hispanics at 82%. he should be perfect for 100. >> this is a time of concern for all law enforcement. >> in every instance it's been an act of cowardness. >> this violence has to end. is carly fiorina heading to the big debate stage? >> the former ceo at 10%. >> we need a nominee who is going to throw every punch. good morning, welcome back

to "new day." donald trump is meeting today with rnc chairman reince priebus who wants trump and other gop candidates to sign a loyalty pledge. this is supporting the party nominee no matter who it is and won't launch a third party run. meanwhile, the latest trump attack on rival jeb bush hitting close to home. the donald suggesting jeb is setting a bad example by speaking spanish inside the united states. cnn's sara murray is live in washington with all the latest. good morning, sara. >> reporter: good morning, allison. forgive the pun, but this has really been his trump card, the threat he might run as an independent candidate. we may finally settle the issue once and for all when he meets with reince priebus. we may get an answer whether he pledges his loyalty to the gop. >> unbelievable. >> reporter: by day's end, republican national committee chair reince priebus could have an answer from donald trump. will he or won't he rule out a third-party bid?

>> did you vote for trump? >> i did. >> reporter: in nashville recently, trump, a former democrat, explaining why he referred to running as a republican. >> that would be the best path for victory. and we'll make a decision soon and i think a lot of people will be very happy. >> reporter: on tuesday the party circulating a loyalty pledge to the gop contenders. an apparent attempt to neutralize trump's threats to run as an independent, which could jeopardize the gop's attempt to retake the white house. it's a pledge trump rebuffed during the first debate. >> you're not going to make the pledge? >> i'm not going to make the pledge at this time. >> reporter: now the rnc wants it in writing asking trump to sign an agreement stating he will not seek to run as an independent or accept the nomination for president of any other party. if he fails to ring the republican nomination in 2016, trump's meeting comes on the heels of his controversial remarks in "bright bart news."

slamming jeb bush for speaking spanish as he attacked trump's political views a day earlier. trump telling "bright bart news" he should set the example by speaking english while in the united states. a bush aide lashed back saying trump was, quote, trying to kill the party, attacking any american who is bilingual." the war of words escalating as trump's unfavorable numbers remain sky high among hispanics. now sources tell cnn they do expect donald trump to sign the pledge today and rule out this third party bid. but we won't know until he takes the stage at his press conference later this afternoon. as we all know, donald trump is known for being a little unpredictable. allison and john, back to you. >> unpredictable, really? sara murray, thank you so much. we'll bring in jeffrey lore and we have the chairman of the american conservative union

here, matt, let me start with you. when you hear donald trump say i like jeb bush, he's a nice man, but he should set an example with speaking english in the united states. a lot of the republicans are reaching out to the latino communities. a lot of folks tell donald trump don't do it. >> these guys are in a mono /mono race. i think we should be accepting as a party and as a country. we are a nation of people who come from all kinds of other cultures that are proud of their culture. i think when jeb bush speaks spanish, he's not pandering to voters and not trying to say it's okay not to speak english.

what he's actually doing is saying, look, i respect your culture and am married to someone originally from mexico. i think it is perfectly acceptable. >> matt, i want to stick with you for one second because of your marriage and you do speak some spanish at home, i mean, doesn't this go a little further? do you think donald trump was read i reading or being rude for saying this? yes. i have applauded trump for running as republican and am glad he's running, but sometimes on issues he scores as a touchdown he keeps running, kind of like forrest gump. he's made his point on immigration and it's a valid point. we don't have to go to so far to say, people who come from other countries, donald trump has nothing wrong with people coming into this country and holding on to their language. that's a wonderful thing, but should we conduct or -- there's

nothing wrong with our language or speaking other tongues. >> donald trump didn't make that statement by accident at all. he's playing to an audience, isn't he? >> yes. this is remarkably, once upon a time this could be uncontroversial. but i do think because of the illegal immigration issue, it has become a complicated issue. if you speak english, the suggestion that everybody should learn english is somehow controversial. wow, if jeb bush is going to try to defend that -- >> that's not what donald trump is saying, jeffrey. donald trump is not saying -- jeffrey, donald trump is saying you should speak only english on the campaign trail. >> well, i think he's trying to make a point here. in terms of illegal immigration,

we don't speak italian or german or the other languages brought to this country. there's nothing wrong with learning them. i can speak french but i'm not french. i'm an american. >> this is absurd. people have been running for president in this country by going to different communities that have come and derived from different countries using a bit of their language. with battleground states throughout this country, here's the thing. i have no problem with taking on immigration and hispanics around the country. i would like to see us do something on immigration, but i think we can disagree with people on the fact that we have to secure or borders without being jerks about it. and i think what we have to do when it comes to our his imaginic outreach as a party,

we'll stand on our principal and put out the welcome mat. we want them to be part of the show right now to know the republican party welcomes you. and i believe they connect to us on a lot of issues. we are rude to them and may have destroyed the opportunity. >> i don't think saying to speak english is rude. why are we referring to the spanish here? people come to this country from other countries. why not chinese? why not arabic? when you go to deerborn, michigan, aren't we as americans supposed to be learning arabic? >> if you are running for president and you know other languages and you put a little bit of that into your responses to reporters who are from the countries, or you put a little into your speeches, there is nothing wrong with that.

>> this is all coming about over the controversy with illegal immigration with, what, 11 million or 30 million people, however many people there are. >> jeffrey, you and i agree on this problem. >> what? >> you and i agree that's a problem that needs to stop. >> in that context that's why this has become controversial. >> well, you have to say you can't speak spanish because there are illegals here? >> both of our political directors -- >> it should tell you everything we need to know about america right there. >> okay. occasionally peek will speak languages that are not their -- >> no one is denying the fact that english should be spoken in america. this is absurd. the question is, is it okay for a candidate to speak spanish? i'm not denying this but a

presidential candidate is addressing people in spanish. and guess what, i think it's okay. >> guys, jeffrey, one quick question, is donald trump today going to sign the pledge to not run as a third-party candidate? >> i don't know. it's very interesting to me that we have other republicans who have run from other office, senator mccaskey from alaska, she lost her nomination and ran as an independent. it will be very interesting to find out. >> thank you. >> he will sign that agreement in english. >> that is for sure. we'll speak to presidential candidates carly fiorina and governor chris christie. stick around for that. and do not miss the republican presidential gop

debate here on cnn. a woman who called in a tip saying she saw two suspicious men now has admitted it was a line. we are live in fox lake with more on this with rosa flores. >> reporter: imagine this, as soon as that call came in, more than 85 agents swarmed to the scene. 11 canine units and 3 aircrafts. only for authorities to find out later that this tipster just wanted attention. overnight, police descending on this cornfield in bola, illinois, just five miles south of fox lake where lieutenant joe gliniewicz was gunned down.

kristen kiefer called and said two men tried to get into her car to flee the area, eventually running into a cornfield. >> kiefer admitted she had fabricated the entire story. she fabricated the story because she was looking for attention from a family that she nannies for. she was aware that a police officer was killed in this area and she indicated that's why she chose the area to fabricate her story. >> reporter: kiefer now faces two charges of disorderly conduct. further complicating an already difficult investigation with few clues. >> tonight's response speaks a lot to that and how present law enforcement is in this area. and we are working very hard to restore the peace and calmness in the community again. >> reporter: the sea of a thousand people attending the lieutenant's vigil wednesday night is a testament to the impact of g.i. joe as he's known had on this community for 30 years. >> joe was my best friend, my

world, my hero. my world got a little bit smaller with his passing. >> reporter: where do you think she found her strength to speak in front of several thousand people? >> i could only think that this strength comes from knowing that joe knows that people needed to hear something from her so they could find some strength from all this. nothing makes sense in the world right now. >> reporter: kiefer is waking up in jail this morning with her bond hearing set for 10:00 a.m. eastern. as for the investigation, 100 agents are in the region awaiting to hear from any lead, waiting to follow any tip and also scouring through surveillance video. >> let's hope they get a break today. thank you so much, rosa. a new justice report about last year's protest in ferguson leveled broad criticism. an after action report saying

the police were hurt by inconsistent leadership and a lack of understanding community concerns. local law enforcement said they were reacted to in the wake of the michael brown shooting. and celebrating the end of the world war ii. a huge military parade of 12,000 troops marched through beijing showing off military hardware and putting a list of missiles and assault vehicles and drones from where we are. now despite the show of fire power, the chinese leader pushed to cut 300,000 troops from the military there. the cut would still leave china with some 2 million troops. got to show you this, president obama showing off his moves on the final day of the alaskan visit. he stopped by this alaskan town and watched middle schoolchildren perform traditional native dance. apparently he couldn't resist the urge to join in. afterward the president encouraged the children to hold on to their traditions even when they leave home. a powerful message to hear for

those children. you know what i see? a second-term president that can't run again. >> you don't think this will be a good campaign video he puts together? >> i see something that just pulled something. >> he's in better shape than all three of us, please. >> i think he's got the moves. >> you know what it was? the teleprompter. >> there you go. you need to stick around for the next story because thousands of migrants pack a train in hungary desperate to escape a better life. and they don't know where they are going. we'll have a close look at the situation unfolding at this moment. we'll be right back.

and help reduce the risk of dvt and pe blood clots. xarelto® has also been proven to reduce the risk of stroke in people with afib, not caused by a heart valve problem. for people with afib currently well managed on warfarin, there is limited information on how xarelto® and warfarin compare in reducing the risk of stroke. i tried warfarin before, but the blood testing routine and dietary restrictions had me off my game. not this time. not with xarelto®. i'll have another arnold palmer. make mine a kevin nealon. really, brian? hey, safety first. like all blood thinners, don't stop taking xarelto® without talking to your doctor, as this may increase your risk of a blood clot or stroke. while taking, you may bruise more easily and it may take longer for bleeding to stop. xarelto® may increase your risk of bleeding if you take certain medicines. xarelto® can cause serious, and in rare cases, fatal bleeding. get help right away for unexpected bleeding, unusual bruising, or tingling. if you have had spinal anesthesia while on xarelto®, watch for back pain or any nerve or muscle related signs or symptoms. do not take xarelto® if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. tell your doctor before all planned medical or dental procedures.

children. they are not entirely 100% sure where this train is going to end up. some people have told them it's a town that's on the hungarian/australian border. many don't know getting on the train uncertain where they were going but just wanted to cling to a small glimmer of hope that maybe it would get them all the way to germany because they just couldn't take it. they couldn't take staying in the budapest train station. there's a police presence out here creating quite a bit of unease amongst those first here. when we first rolled up to see the police force, there was a little bit of panic where they thought they would be forcibly removed from the train. everyone agreeing if that were to happen they would not. it's a very uncertain situation and it's quite frightening for the parents. they are saying right now no one get off the train, but quite

frightening for the parents because if they do try to remove these people, there's a lot of small people around, especially small children. and people got on the train because they saw the station was open and assumed maybe they were going to germany. some did receive word that, no people would be crossing international borders, but they have to cling to the little hope because they have no other choice but to try to get out of hungary. >> arwa, you're reporting and live shot just brings home to us. are there a lot of men and children on that train? >> reporter: sure. let me introduce you to some of these families. this little girl, she's 8. earlier she was reciting the abc's. to her newfound friend, who is just two-and-a-half years old.

and her mom is really struggling to provide a little dignity for her daughter. the most important thing in all of this has been to keep her daughter clean. and now she has her dressed in her favorite hello kitty clothing. and we have another family here who is from syria who also fled the warfare. all these people we spoke to throughout the journey said they left because they thought that if they left these children back home they would end up apart. and some of them making the trip with relatives. reme who i spoke about earlier was traveling with her uncle. her parents are in turkey. but the family could only afford

one person to make this trip so they chose her to be the one to go with her uncle to try to give her, at least, a chance. >> barbara showing us the heartbreaking conditions that families are facing there with survival and so much of the future unknown. we'll check back to her when we can. we have a heartbreaking incident being cradled in the arms of a turkish police officer. his body washed up on the beach. his family identified him as 3-year-old alan who drowned after his boat capsized. >> horrifying picture there. >> just heartbreaking and seeing it live unfold with arwa. >> it just doesn't become statistics, numbers and headlines. you need to be able to feel what is happening. >> i have never seen it in such stark illustration as that

picture and arwa's report until now. meanwhile, we want you to stick around because she's surging in the polls ever since her first debate performance. what does carly fiorina have up her sleeve for the cnn debate? well, the republican presidential candidate is going to join us next live. ng. all laptops on sale, save $230 on this dell 2-in-1. office depot officemax. gear up for school. gear up for great. rheumatoid arthritis like me... and you're talking to a rheumatologist about a biologic, this is humira. this is humira helping to relieve my pain and protect my joints from further damage.

well, republican front-runner donald trump may not be a team player. but they want him to sign a loyalty pledge promising to support their nominee and not run as a third-party candidate. trump and reince priebus are meeting in new york today to discuss this. the former state department staffer who, withed on hillary clinton's private e-mail server when secretary of state is expected to plead the fifth. he was served with a subpoena by the house panel investigating the 2012 benghazi attack. the same panel this morning will have the ex-chief of staff sharon mills in a closed-door meeting and expected to be asked about internal communications between clinton and her top staffers. overnight a reported

sighting of two suspects in the murder of the police officer in illinois turned out to be a hoax. a woman called 911 saying she saw two men running into the area. she later admitted she lied and is now facing charges. meanwhile, the search is now expanding for the trio believed to be responsible for the death of lieutenant joe gliniewicz. emmanuel security teams had to take the chicago mayor off the stage as protesters were out of control. and clearing the way for carly fiorina to be on the main stage september 16. take a listen to when the presidential candidate found out

about this. >> literally as we're speaking, i just got a text that cnn has amended their gop debate criteria. >> shut up! does that mean you're going to be on the debate stage? >> republican candidate carly fiorina is joining us now. good morning, ms. fiorina. >> good morning, how are you? >> i see we're catching you at the airport jumping from campaign stop to campaign stop. that seemed like a fun moment there with you finding that out. >> yes, i loved her reaction, shut up! enormously gratified and pleased that cnn did the right thing here. i'm the only candidate who has moved clearly from the bottom tier to the top tier. i'm now in the top five in every statewide poll. and easily in the top ten in national polls.

in fact, i was number four in the latest national poll. so i'm really looking forward to being on that debate stage. >> well, there you go. i mean, as a result of your performance, they say in the first debate, that you have seen that rise. so you're certain now that on september 16th you'll be on the primetime stage. >> yes, i'm quite certain given the polling results we have seen and will continue to see. i'm quite certain and looking very much forward to it. >> okay, let's talk about what's happening today. donald trump has a meeting with the rnc chair reince priebus. and apparently reince priebus is going to ask donald trump to sign this pledge that we have here affirming that he will not run as a third-party candidate. have you received this pledge from the rnc? >> yes, we have. my office received it, i believe, yesterday. i certainly will sign it. i have actually already signed something similar when we entered into data sharing agreements with the rnc as i

believe have many other candidates. and i certainly think that donald trump should sign such a pledge. >> but let's be honest, this is an interesting gimmick. it's fun to watch all of the candidates sign this pledge, but it's just a flimsy piece of paper. i mean, it is unenforceable. and why do you need to sign the pledge? sometimes republicans and democrats have run as third-party candidates, why not this year? >> well -- i think, first of all, you're right. it's unenforceable and is, more than anything else, your word. and i would presume somebody running for president would like to signal to the american people and most especially right now to republican primary voters that their word can be trusted. and i think the point is that if you're going to run as a republican in a republican primary, then you're declaring that you are a republican. it's not simply a run of convenience. this is about, hopefully, some degree of principle here.

so we'll see what mr. trump does. >> so let me ask you about this sparring that's been going on on the republican side among some of your opponents. particularly donald trump and jeb bush. they have been having a war of words. and it continues. donald trump said in a "bright bart" interview about jeb speaking spanish on the campaign trail, i like jeb, he's a nice man, but he should really set the example by speaking english while in the united states. what do you think about that statement? >> well, first, i think donald trump and jeb bush are going at it as frontrunners are going to do in a presidential campaign. i mean, i recall just over the last couple of days martin o'malley protesting at the dnc meeting because he wants a chance to go at hillary clinton. i think this is what politics is about. i also think, look, i admire the fact that jeb bush is multi-lingual and admire the fact that so many people are

multi-lingual and also think that english is the official language of the united states. >> but do you think it's rude for donald trump? do you think it's a winning strategy for donald trump to say that jeb bush is bilingual and should just speak english? >> you know, donald trump has said many things that i don't agree with and a few that i do agree with. so i think it is fair to say that mr. trump is going to continue to do what mr. trump does, which is say all kinds of things, some of which are shocking and a few that are outrageous and many that people agree with because they are angry and frustrated. >> is it fun for you, maybe fun is the wrong word, but interesting for you to sit back and watch this food fight among the front-runners? or is it uncomfortable to see what is going on in your party? >> well, i think it goes on in every presidential campaign. i remember there were plenty of food fights between hillary clinton and barack obama in 2008. and i suspect we're going to continue to see food fights on both sides. it is a little bit what politics

is about. on the other hand, i don't get asked questions from voters or donald trump, quite frankly. the question i get from voters are, what are you going to do about obamacare and iran and isis? what are you going to do about the out-of-control government? frankly, people who ask me questions about the other candidates are the media and not the voters. >> all right, we'll talk about the issues as you bring them up. it's the year of the outsider, obviously, and you are an outsider, you are not a career politician, obviously. and you tout your record as a businesswoman at the helm of hewlett-packard for many years as part of why voters should elect you. but your tenure was hardly considered a runaway success. let me read for you how the dnc categorizes what you did as the head of hewlett-packard. they say, she negotiated a merger with compaq where 30,000 hewlett-packard employees lost

their jobs. then she negotiated a $40 million golden parachute after she was fired. here's carly fiorina's policy record, an affinity for sending american jobs overseas. what do you say for this under your tenure? >> you are reading the dnc talking points. here's the thing about business unlike politics, in business the results are crystal clear and reported in excruciating detail every 90 days. and i had to stand up to explain the results every 90 days. if i misrepresented them in any way, i was criminally liable. imagine if we held politicians to that standard. so here's the record, here are the facts. i led hp through the worst technology recession in 25 years. and yes, in order to save a company, sadly, we had to cut some jobs. but we saved 80,000 jobs, went on to grow to 160,000s, and now hewlett-packard is 300,000 jobs. meanwhile, some of our competitors literally went out of business and all the jobs

were lost. as well, we doubled the size of the business to almost 90 billion and quadrupled the growth rate of revenues. we tripled innovation to 15 patents a day and quadrupled cash flow. we went from lacking behind in every product and every market to leading in every product and every market. i'll run on that record all day long. every single aspect of my pay was approved by shareholders ahead of time. and yep, i was fired in a boardroom brawl about which i have been very candid and clear from the day it happened. and i was fired in that boardroom brawl because when you lead, you challenge the status quo. and when you do that, you make enemies. and that's part of the price of leadership. but i want to tell you something, there are a lot of voters out there who would like a leader with the strength and the courage and the track record to actually hold government employees accountable. just today we learned that over 300,000 veterans have lost their lives waiting for appointments. i actually think there are few people at the v.a. who aught to lose their jobs. >> how does your record in

everything that you have just outlined translate to what you would do about america's problems? we'll talk about the one on the front burner in terms of immigration. you have heard what donald trump has said. you have heard now what chris christie has said, that he thinks that immigrants can be tracked like fedex packages on some level. what is your answer to the immigration issue? >> well, let's start with the basics. and this is where a track record of turning words into results matters so much. we have been talking about the border for 25 years. for 25 years the border has been insecure. this is absurd. this is a fall down of a basic government responsibility. we have to secure the border, period. it takes money, yes, manpower, yes, technology, yes, but mostly -- it takes political willpower and leadership. >> and is that with a fence or wall? >> no, no, no, this is not rocket science. it takes money, manpower and

technology. san francisco has been a sanctuary city since 1989. we now have 300 of them. every presidential cycle we talk about immigration. and yet nothing changes. this is why people are upset. so what i would say to voters is, vote for someone who has a track record, not just a talking but a doing. because of what i will do is insure we actually secure the border. what i will do is insure we actually fix the legal immigration system. >> how? >> which has been broken for 25 years. and it's a contributory to the problem. let's just say, for example, we hand out mexican border crossing cards every single day. we have no idea whether those people go home. wow. we have 16 different visa programs. we don't have an employer verification system that works. therefore we can't make it mandatory. we're the most sophisticated technological nation on the planet. if i understand something about technology, it is not difficult to create an employer verification system that works. we just haven't done it. just like we just haven't fixed

the v.a. over 20 years. so 300,000 veterans die waiting for an appointment. this is about an eptide and corruption in the government. >> and what is your roughly for the 12 million illegal undocumented immigrants who are here. what would you do with them? >> what i have said consistently over five years almost now is first we must secure the border. to reinstill faith in the american people and our government. >> and a lot of your opponents agree with that. >> second, we must fix the legal immigration system because the legal immigration system is contributing to the illegal problem. and finally, for those who have come here illegally and stayed here illegally, assuming they are not criminals, in which case they have to leave the country, assuming they pay back taxes, et cetera, i do not belief they earn a path to citizenship. there must be consequence for breaking the law. they can earn a pathway to legal status under certain circumstances so that they can

work, but citizenship is a privilege to be earned. and i know too many people, as do you, hispanics among them, who have studied our history, raised their hands, taken the oath and earned the privilege of citizenship. and i don't think you can say to them, nevermind, somebody who broke the rules gets the same privilege you do. >> carly fiorina, thank you so much for being on "new day." we enjoy talking to you and look forward to september 16th and the cnn debate. >> me, too. thank you, alysyn, have a great day. we are breaking down the interview with carly fiorina. what does john king think about it? we'll find out. ♪

i was going to the library to do my homework. it was a little bit of a walk to get to the bus stop.

i had to wait in line to use the computer. took a lot of juggling to keep it all together. what's possible when you have high-speed internet at home? the library never closes. it makes it so much better to do homework when you're at home. internet essentials from comcast. helping to bridge the digital divide. just moments ago jeb bush firing back at donald trump for saying he should speak english at campaign events in the united states instead of speaking spanish. and just moments ago republican presidential candidate carly fiorina rising fast in the polls face to face with a fine june

list, alyson camerota here on cnn. john king is joining us right now. the jeb bush/donald trump thing, every hour that passes there's a new chapter in this battle. let's bring everyone up to speed. donald trump sends out an interview saying jeb bush shouldn't speak spanish ever. i like jeb, he's a nice man but should set the example by speaking english while in the united states. well, just a few minutes ago, john, on good morning america jeb bush responded to that directive. let's listen. >> the fact that he would say you only can speak english is kind of ridiculous if you think about it. are we going to close all the foreign language classes? why would he have a contract with univision for his beauty pageant? this is a diverse country and should celebrate the diversity and embrace a set of shared values. and mr. trump doesn't believe in shared values and wants to tear us down. help doesn't believe in

tolerance and the things that created the greatness of this country. >> your reaction, has jeb bush went on point, maybe he's right but does he lose in the fact that yet he's been dragged into another donald trump instigated discussion? >> well, he's on a lot safer ground talking about his own affinity for the use of spanish, his own relationship, his wife is originally from mexico. his own position he thinks if a candidate can speak different languages as they travel this great and diverse country, they should show that and talk to people in their native tongue if they want to be more comfortable. john and alyson, this is a defining flash point in the country. when jeb bush ran for president, he knew his views on immigration were different from much of the republican party. but he thought he would have the argument with ted cruz and mike huckabee, not the tornado that is donald trump. if you agree with mr. trump that candidates for public office should only speak english, you're allowed that opinion in the united states of america but you're not going to elect a

republican president. the simple math is, mitt romney got 27% of the latino vote. barack obama in the election where the economy was struggling and republicans should have had a chance, if you look at the historical data, were blown out in the electoral college. why? nevada was not in play, a lot of latino. obama wins florida, a lot of latinos. swing states like colorado and virginia, a group of latinos growing by the hour. there's a policy debate here, that's what campaigns are for. mr. trump is entitled to his view, bjeb bush is entitled to his view, but if you don't believe jong kihn king, go to census.com and there's a reason why jeb bush needs to talk to latino voters. >> let's talk about this pledge and this is what the head of the rnc will ask donald trump to sign to not run as a third-party

candidates. apparently they sent this to all republicans. carly fiorina was just on "new day" and talked about this. >> i would assume somebody running for president would like to signal to the american people and most especially right now to republican primary voters that their word can be trusted. >> okay. so that was her admitting, yes, it's a gimmick and yes it's unenforceable but we're all going to sign it. >> the party has to do this to show a sign of disarray in the republican party. look at the success at the state and national level. the republicans have won everything except the presidency in the obama years and yet are in a crazy fight over if you want to run, you have to pledge loyalty. this is about all donald trump. the republicans look at the polling and know if mr. trump spins off to run as a third-party candidate, there's a

likely view that the democrat would be elected into the presidency of the united states. there's certainly time to change the numbers, but the expectation -- i was talking to people last night and others at cnn reporting the expectation and word is that mr. trump is prepared to say, i'm a republican, i'm going to run as a republican. i pledge my loyalty as a republican. as carly fiorina just said, it's not binding and he can change his mind down the road, but mr. trump knows math. eight in ten latinos have an unfavorable opinion. eight in ten african-americans have an unfavorable opinion. mr. trump has no path to presidency as a third-party candidate. being a republican he does have a path now to the nomination. and if he gets the republican nomination, who knows. >> there you go. john king, always great to talk to you to get your take. we appreciate it. so what is your take, all of you watching? tweet us with #newdaycnn or post your comment to facebook/newday.

we enjoy reading the comments. >> will donald trump sign this here pledge right now? the rnc's loyalty pledge, will he vow not to run as a third-party candidate? not now, not ever? will his rivals do the same? we'll ask new jersey governor chris christie who is live in our next hour. flonase allergy relief, the only otc nasal spray approved to relieve nasal congestion and itchy, watery eyes. most allergy pills only control one inflammatory substance,

ask your doctor if chantix is right for you. it's how i try to live... how i stay active. so i need nutrition... that won't weigh me down. for the nutrition you want without the calories you don't... introducing boost 100 calories. each delicious snack size drink gives you... 25 vitamins and minerals and 10 grams of protein. so it's big in nutrition and small in calories. i'm not about to swim in the slow lane. stay strong. stay active with boost®. cleans so well, it keeps your new underwear cleaner.ng, dude. so clean...you could wear them a second day. new charmin ultra strong. it's 4 times stronger, and you can use up to 4 times less. enjoy the go with charmin.

internet essentials from comcast. helping to bridge the digital divide. little change of venue here for this. no shortage of late night laughs anapparently when it comes to politics. >> i saw in an interview with cnn former vice president dick cheney said he has no plans to endorse donald trump. when asked if he would have a change of heart, cheney was like, yes, every week. if trump wins, those 12 states will include shock, confusion, outrage, despair, denial, anger,

bargaining and finally acceptance. >> apparently trump is on fallon's show next week. >> i can't wait. >> right? >> great stuff. meanwhile, all indications suggest that donald trump will sign the rnc loyalty pledge vowing not to mount a third party campaign. but he is unpredictable. will he really do it? >> plus the hunt for three suspected cop killers hits a snag. where does the manhunt go from here?

will he or won't he rule out a third party bid? >> that would certainly be the best path to victory. >> donald trump is criticizing jeb for speaking spanish. >> pope francis, when he comes to washington, he's going to say mass in spanish. maybe trump will want to deport the holy father too. >> a symbol of the horror of

europe's refugee crisis. >> this train is packed with people who don't really know exactly where it is that they're going. >> it's a very uncertain situation. if they left these children back home, they would end up dead there. >> this is "new day." >> and good morning. welcome back to your "new day." it is thursday, september 3rd, 8:00 in the east. will donald trump promise to endorse the republican nominee and forego a third party run? only trump knows for sure. but trump is meeting with rnc chairm chairman today. >> cnn's sarah murray is live in our washington bureau following all of the developments for us. >> reporter: we are seeing this push to get donald trump to take the loyalty pledge. sources say they suspect he will probably go through with it, but

we won't know for sure until he takes the stage for his press conference today at 2:00 p.m. let's get a little dose of what we might expect. by day's end republican national committee chair might have an answer. will he or won't he rule out a third party bid? in nashville recently, trump explaining why he'd prefer to run as a republican. >> that would certainly be the best path to victory and we're going to make a decision very soon and i think a lot of people are going to be very happy. >> reporter: an apparent attempt to neutralize trump's attempts to run as an independent. it's a pledge trump rebuffed during the first debate. >> you're not going to make the pledge? >> i will not make the pledge at this time. >> reporter: now the rnc wants

it in writing, asking trump to sign an agreement stating he will not seek to accept the nomination of any other party if he fails to win the republican nomination in 2016. trump slammed jeb bush for sp k speaking spanish as he attacked trump's political views. >> he said he should speak english while in the united states. >> a bush aide lashed back, saying he was trying to kill the party, attacking any american who was bilingual. jeb bush was just on good morning america where he responded to these attacks for himself sayings the a multicultural country and it's time to embrace it.

>> are we going to close all the foreign language classes? why would he have a contract with univision for his beauty pageant. he wants to tear us down. he doesn't believe in tolerance. >> reporter: you get a really good sense there that jeb bush is not backing down from what has really been the theme of his campaign to run for a broader electorate, not just for the gop primary. >> jeb bush did say he would support donald trump if he ended up as the republican nominee. vice president joe biden in florida this morning. where biden goes, so goes the rampant speculation about whether or not he will run for president. >> reporter: i mean, after

spending a week of -- actually weeks rather in the summer of closed door meetings and behind the scenes speculation or is he or isn't he running, joe biden decided to take that speculation on the road here in florida. he spent time with college students in the afternoon. he seemed to be enjoying and relishing all of this speculation. >> by the way, it's amazing how good this school is. look at all the press you've attracted. their interest in community colleges impresses me greatly. >> reporter: of course that's not what people were writing about. he was on the front page of the miami herald today. we know that he is still actively considering it. his aides are working behind the scenes to interview potential

staff workers in early voting states if he decides to run. he has not yet made that decision. in a fund-raiser in miami for senate democrats he did not even bring this up. he did not even talk about his potential 2016 possibility of running. so he is really winding down on this. probably has three weeks or so to make a decision. >> joining us this morning to discuss all of these big issues is new jersey governor chris christie. thank you so much for being on "new day." let's talk about this pledge that that the rnc wants all of you to sign. have you seen this pledge? >> i did. >> you got it? >> yeah. >> did you sign it? >> not yet. >> why not? >> because i already said it on stage on august 6th. if you want me to formally sign it. >> i have a pen. >> not now. i already said on august 6th i'm

going to support the republican nominee for president whoever that is. >> why is this gimmick necessary this year? why do all of you have to sign it? it's unenforceable. >> i assume they're doing it because mr. trump wouldn't agree to it on august 6th. they didn't tell me why. they just sent it to us. >> the feeling is that if somebody were to run as a third party candidate, the republicans can't win with that month. >> doesn't matter who it would be. i think any third party candidate that came from the h republican party to be a third party candidate would make the chances of winning in november significantly difficult. there should be a sore loser rule. if you don't get the nom narina, you can't go running off and do

something else. >> they're having this war of words between them. and the latest round is that jeb bush is bilingual. he spoke spanish on the campaign trail. and trump said in an interview, i like jeb, he's a nice man, but he should really set the example by speaking english while in the united states. what do you think? >> i think these two guys have forgotten what this is about. they have enormous frustrations and anger about the way the government is not working right now, yesterday the two of them are having this fight back and forth about personal issues. i think people in america and people in general will become really tired of this. this isn't about you guys. it's about the american people, their children, their aspirations, their challenges and their needs. that's what we should be talking about, not all this stuff about going back and forth personally.

it doesn't add anything to the debate and diminished both of them. >> should all candidates speak english on the campaign trail at all times? >> for me i think english very important. listen, people should do whatever they want to do on the campaign trail. they're candidates. everything we do and say are evaluated by the media, evaluated by voter. whatever you want to do, it's your choice. you should be responsible and willing to stand behind everything you do. i'll be speaking english, because i don't speak another language. anyone who wants to do anything else, as far as i'm concerned it's up to them. >> some people think new jersey english is a different language. >> i'm out of here now. this is ridiculous. >> as a born and bred jersey girl. one of your answers to illegal

immigration is you could track people coming into the country like fedex packages. what does that mean? >> we need to use technology to track people coming in here on visas. you come in as a visitor for a defined period of time. there's technology out there that -- >> like a chip on people. >> no. not a chip on people. you already have it. it's right here. it's your fingerprint. we should be able to track people if they over stay their visas. we should be able to tell them, you over stayed your visa, it's time to go. this is a ridiculous way that the media and some of the democrats retook into accouact . the technology in the private sector has lapped the government. what we need is for the government to get with it, do

their job. 40% of the 11 million people who are here illegally are overstays on visas, not coming across the border. so nothing additional needs to be on your body. >> i want to ask you about some comments that you made yesterday about the iran nuclear deal. you're not a fan. you said i believe the american people are going to look back on this and say this is the single worst thing this president has ever done and every death iran causes is now on barack obama's head. is that language too strong? >> no. ask people in israel if that language is too strong. ask the folks that are going to watch iran test ballistic missiles if that language is too strong. he's given them a pathway to a nuclear weapon.

i saw secretary kerry yesterday claiming this is about verification. it's a joke. we're letting iranian guard inspect their own sites. i was the u.s. attorney. that's like me getting a search warrant, coming to somebody's house, saying listen i have a search warrant but i'll be back in 24 days to see if there's any illegal activity in here. even the stupidist criminal in jersey would know to get the evidence out of the house. this president wanted a legacy. that's why he's doing this. he's going to have a legacy. he's going to be the worst foreign policy president in the history of this country. >> i ask about your language because i heard you this week scoffing at some language that hillary clinton used where she said that she sort of likened the gop's take on women's issues to that of terrorists, sort of

setting women back into the stone age. and you scoffed and said she calls herself a uniter. is this the language of a uniter? i mean, is comparing president obama to iran or what iran does is that the language of a uniter? >> it absolutely is. i didn't compare him to anything. i said very clearly. he's now responsible for iran's conduct. that's all it is. guess what? as president i'll never shirk my responsibilities or shy away from them. they're in favor of lawlessness around this country. and secretary clinton says she has no classified information she sent in e-mails. now we see things saying she has e-mailed classified information. they have an inability to tell the truth or to be held responsible.

the president is now responsible. >> for every death that iran causes. >> he has now emboldened them. he's giving them $150 billion. they're going to spend it with hamas and hezbollah and other terrorist organizations. >> i want to move onto addiction and the plague it is to families around the country. rand paul said something about your focus or at least about what he thinks is at the root of heroin addiction. let me play that for you. >> we have a lot of problems. people always come up to me and say we've got heroin problems. if you work all day long, you don't have time to do heroin. >> if you work all day long you don't have time to have a heroin

addiction. >> listen, drug addiction is a disease. it's a failing to try drugs in the first place. but there but for the grace of god go i. everybody makes mistakes. we should treat it as a disease. we have drug court in new jersey. we're say noing now to first ti nonviolent drug offenders you're going to treatment. if you've gone through drug court your recidivism rate is 16%. i believe not only should we be pro-life when the child is in the room, but you need to be pro-life for the 16-year-old on the floor of the county lockup because he or she is addicted to drugs. we know it's a more effective way to combat the drug problem in this country. you talk to any parent around the country who's lost a child

to this addiction and say well if they had just worked they wouldn't have tried drugs. it's unfortunate. i'm going to make sure we treat people who have a disease. if you're violent, you go to prison. but nonviolent people who are not dealing drugs but using, let's get them treatment to save those saves. >> be sure to tune in to the next republican presidential debate hosted by cnn wednesday september 16th at 2:00 p.m. earn. turning to some other headlines here, frustration is building for illinois police searching for three suspects in the murder of one of their own. overnight police ramped up their search based on a tip they received. the woman who called it in now admits it was a hoax. she now faces charges. where does it go from here?

>> reporter: good morning. i can assure you that the hearts of the agents who responded to that call were beating a little faster when a call came in late last night saying that two suspects tried to force themselves into her vehicle and they escaped to a cornfield after she had called police. you can only imagine. more than 80 agents swarmed the scene, 11 canine units, three aircraft hovering the scene for hours. and then this. >> she admitted that she had fabricated the entire story. because she was looking for attention from a family that she nannies for. >> reporter: now she is waking up this morning jail, charged with two counts of disorderly conduct. the investigation here

continues. more than 100 investigators are here in the region ready to respond to any lead, to any tip in hopes of finding those three suspects. >> a lot of work to do. a stunning v.a. report says a staggering 307,000 veterans died before their applications for care were processed. drew griffin joins us now live from baltimore. that's a staggering number. >> reporter: staggering when you think about who these people are. john, these not veterans waiting for care. these are veterans who are applying for the privilege of waiting for care. and as of last year, there was more than 867,000 of them whose applications to just get in line at the v.a. were not processed. this all comes to light because of once again a v.a. whistle

blower who's coming out to rat on the manage mgt thment that h in this case is doing such a disservice to veterans. 307,000 guys had died waiting. one guy's application had been waiting for 14 years. and the v.a. has known about this at least since 2010 when they found applications stuffed in drawers inside v.a. processors' desks. it does not seem to be getting any better. >> that's the direction where you don't want things to be going. thanks for bringing that to us, drew. another update for you today, kentucky clerk kim davis faces contempt charges at federal court for refusing to give marriage licenses to same

sex couples. she could be fined or even jailed. >> that story is not going away. meanwhile, the attorney general says the violence we're seeing in america means that no one is safe. the killing of an illinois police officer is just an example. we are talking to philadelphia's top cop about all of this, next. and i didn't get here alone. there were people who listened along the way. people who gave me options. kept me on track. and through it all, my retirement never got left behind. so today, i'm prepared for anything we may want tomorrow to be. every someday needs a plan. let's talk about your old 401(k) today. having a perfectly nice day, when out of nowhere a pick-up truck slams into your brand new car. one second it wasn't there and the next second...boom, you had your first accident.

law enforcement being targeted as a result of high profile shooting deaths. always a sligdelight to speak w you, sir. how are you today? >> i'm well, thank you. >> in the last six years under president obama we've seen a rise in rhetoric.

we've seen racial tensions. what do you make of that kind of commentary. >> first of all, i've been in policing for four decades. and i've seen periods where there are a lot of attacks on police going back to the '60s, '70s and so forth. and now of course unfortunately we've seen a rise. there's nothing that i can think of to really put our finger on. but it is a challenging time now. >> i want to dig deeper on that because you gave us an interesting perspective. let's dig a little deeper on scott walker's comment about the

president. >> that's all part of politics, i would imagine. this is too serious an issue to really do that sort of thing, to point a finger. i mean, violence in many of our communities is nothing new. police come into contact with dangerous individuals unfortunately. we have some get injured or killed as a result. finger pointing and things like that don't really get us very far. >> those top level conversations about what actually to do on the ground. where do we start? >> we start by building relationships. we start by removing the criminal element from mr. of these communities. we've got a serious problem with gun violence in our country. we're starting to see escalation of violence in many of our cities after we've seen decades

of decline. it's something to be alarmed about. but it really requires thoughtful discussion to really figure out what's going on and how best to go about addressing it. i think the task force report lays a framework, but it's going to require thoughtful people sitting down, actually having a real discussion getting at the issues if we want to make progress, not just throwing out messages in order to gain attention. >> you and i both know that oftentimes when we start to talk about gun violence it devovlves into the political arena. now do we kind of separate those things? >> it's challenge and difficult, but people have to stay at it. we talk about gun violence and guns and certainly reasonable gun control or legislation that would really help in that regard i think would be useful. but we've got to deal with the

people who are actually using the guns to commit crime and deal with the mental health issue and who has access to weapons. there's a way in which we can do this if we really have thoughtful discussion and it's really difficult in this environment because of politics, because of money that's being spread around to certain individual and they take a stand based on that. and we have some elected leaders that quite frankly in my opinion lack the political will and the driej ta courage to take action. violence can occur to anyone at any place at any time we need to really think about it and do something concrete in order to change the situation. >> certainly seems like something that requires a lot of people linking their arms together and working in unison. let's hope we can do that. commissioner charles ramsey, always a delight to have you with us. donald trump meeting with the head of the rnc today.

trump is expected to sign a loyalty pledge that he will not run as a third party candidate and will support whoever is the eventual republican nominee even if it is not himself. steve portion the editor in chief of forbes media. he is also the former two-time presidential candidate.

the media has been looking inwards and out wards for two months now trying to figure out why this trump thing has happened, what has contributed to the rise of donald trump. you say to a certain extent it is the other candidate's impetus. you said they have only themselves to blame for trump's steadily increasing lead. why? because these veterans of the public square violated the first law of politics. they let trump set the agenda. >> and you can see knit teit in of immigration, in terms of blaming china for problems here at home. and if you asked what the candidates stand for, what are their signature issues, you'd be hard put to do it. you're going to see them much more aggressive than they were in that first debate, coming out with specific proposals, what are you going to do on taxes, what exactly are you going to do

on healthcare. sharper criticism of president obama. hit the president for his mistakes, have your own proposals like reagan did in 191 1980. reagan led off with a radical tax plan. if you have trump out there, have something to talk about, positive. >> is it a policy issue with trump or a persona issue? >> he's obviously larger than life persona. he was when he was on television. the fact of the matter is you don't have to be larger than life to get a platform out there. these debates allow you to set your own agenda and say here's what i stand for, here's what we need to do and people listen. i mean, the first debate had 24 million people. phenomenal. people are interested in how you get this country moving forward.

you see it on the democrats side. sanders, whoever would have thought a socialist from vermont would be a serious candidate? people are unhappy. >> i think donald trump is trying to insult his way to the presidency and it's not going to work. people want an uplifting hopeful message. >> is that enough? is jeb talking the kind of gain you think he needs to? >> it's having that uplifting hopeful message. you've got to put flesh on it. he's going to come out early next week with his own tax plan, i hope it's a bold one. something that captures people's imagi imagination. yes, uplifting. but what do you mean? what do you want to do? >> donald trump by the way says

he's going to come out with his own tax plan. he suggests among other things that hedge fund investors -- and you know many yourself -- they should pay higher taxes or at least different types of taxes. he says he wants to cut taxes on the middle class. he talks about tariffs on companies that want to move business overseas. >> putting on new tax is not a good thing. they always go in one direction. they're very destructive. what exactly is he going to put on the table in the next three or four weeks? >> one of the things he's putting on the table today is the notion of maybe signing a pledge that he won't run as a third party candidate. who wins here? does trump win by having the chairman of the rnc walk to trump plaza with a piece of

paper that says please donald trump sign this for me? >> it's nice to have the candidates that you know they're not going to walk off. imagine, in that first debate he's the only one that says he won't sign the pledge. now he's got the chairman of the rnc coming hat in hand to new york city. donald trump has another round of publicity. this guys knows how to work the media. you don't have to be larger than life. you just have to have something there that people say, yeah, that makes sense. i want to know for about it, therefore i want to know more about you. >> it's not enforceable. donald trump can sign the pledge and say nine months later i've had a change of hard. >> it's not binding. nor is this south carolina thing that you're supposed to sign at

the end of the month. >> you've run for president twice and in doing so you spent some of your own money. >> yes. >> donald trump is talking about spending a lot of his own money. he hasn't really yet. people are talking about how much he will be willing to spend. do you have any advice for donald trump in trying to win the white house? >> so far he's been really smart. he's gotten reams of publicity and hasn't had to spend a penny. you've got to have field team there is. you've got to have surveys to know exactly where you stand. it's not huge bucks, but if you don't have those people on the ground as hillary clinton discovered in 2008, you don't have those field force there is, you could get up ended. >> ever wish you had some of that money back? >> of course. since i didn't win. my kids wish i had that money

back. >> thank you. what's your take on this? tweet us or post your comment on facebook. as you know, hip hop is not just music. it is fashion. it's style as well. the man who's been on the forefront of style andre leon talley joins us next. whei just put in the namey, of my parents and my grandparents. and as soon as i did that, literally it was like you're getting 7, 9, 10, 15 leaves that are just popping up all over the place. yeah, it was amazing. just with a little bit of information, you can take leaps and bounds. it's an awesome experience.

let's talk music. hip hop is not just about music of course, but also about the fashion and style. musical artists are known for bold fashion. let's show you a clip from the newest cnn film fresh dressed in which some of the biggest names in pop culture discuss what style means to them. >> by the time we hit the 2000s it was kind of like, wow, you've got to watch the trends because of all the traffic and all of the activity that was happening online. >> before what our influences were were confined to what was at our reach. and now with the expansion and the power of the internet i have access to every fashion look, brand across the world. so i can be whoever i want to be.

>> we're in a space where they're exchanging so many ideas that i think that we're getting back into individual looks. >> it's no longer, you know, like it's either urban or punk or this or that. it's not preppy. you know, like all that stuff to me doesn't mean anything now. >> in hip hop fashion right now people are taking way more risks. they feel empowered with a lot more freedom. it's almost like the more risks you take, the more respect that you get. >> joining us here to talk about the film is andre leon talley, contributing editor of "vogue." of course you appear in the film because you cannot talk style without having you be a part of the conversation.

you've been talking about fashion and style for so many years, i think you're the guy who could probably pinpoint the moment when hip hop style and fashion crossed over to become daily wear for so many people. >> i don't think there's a specific moment. i think that the whole movement has been evolution. evolution that's been a natural process. the reason we're sitting here today and talking about con ka west running for president in 2020,s that part of the evolution of this great movement. he was a grammy winner for so many albums, then he suddenly crosses all kinds of cultures and art forms and media. he does fashion, he does music. >> isn't that kind of the narrative of hip hop. >> yes. >> it's not just music and style. it's a lifestyle and it transcends gender, race,

nationality, zip code. >> why are we here today with beyonce on the biggest issue of vogue? she is a force of fashion. she's a global businesswoman. she's aspirational to every generation. she can influence the obama daughters. michelle obama takes the girls to her concerts. >> was it something that organically transpired or was there a moment when somebody said we can make this happen? >> everyone who is in hip hop who is successful is extraordinary genius in a way. they totally believe in themselves. they had confidence. they had the confidence to go and it just became a sort of synthetic movement. farrell is an extraordinary human being. when he did chanel jewelry with

cut off jeans. he did the chanel concept. he is extraordinary. the music is genius. >> with somebody like him, you can see that's an organic style. it's not necessarily cultivated or put together by stylists. >> it also embraces taylor swift. it embraces miley cyrus. when beyonce shows up on the red carpet in this outrageous see-through dress, there's a moment that's happening. with rihanna with this big cape it took them two years to make. >> it's beyond the pretty or the statement, but this political statement too. we watched how the hoodie, the trayvon hoodie became a political statement. the i can't breathe t-shirts.

>> it's important. these influences in our culture. today our culture is a chr-- yo see suddenly that everyone embraces them. if fo the footballers are wearing i can't breathe t-shirts. everyone is so tuned into the internet. it's so full of information that immediately everyone picks up everything. >> and then it all clashes together in various places in the world, whether it is the world of politics or the world of movement or just on the fashion runway. you've got high end designers. >> absolutely. you're going to see absolutely hip hop royalty in about a week when givinche comes to new york.

it's going to be everyone. they want to be on the pulse of the moment. they're all extraordinary people. >> it has been such a delight to have you. >> thank you so much. >> we want to point you to "fresh dressed." it premiers tonight at 9:00 p.m. >> it is a great film. i've seen it. i'll see it again. meanwhile, the good stuff is up next. diabetes, steady is exciting. only glucerna has carbsteady, clinically proven to help minimize blood sugar spikes. so you stay steady ahead. ranking from top to bottom. car company of the year? luxury cars just seem like they would be top awarded. yeah. there better be some awards behind what you are paying for right? the final answer. chevrolet is the most awarded car company of the year. really? i was just surprised.
