that's it for us tonight. i'll see you back here tomorrow night. "ac 360" starts now. good evening. thanks for joining us. donald trump on prompter and on message for a second straight monday, laying out his plan to defeat isis. under pressure from the party, donald trump stepped up to the microphone, looked into the teleprompter and started reading. cnn's sarah murray reports. >> reporter: donald trump's battling to take control of his own campaign message. by laying out his vision to defeat isis. >> we cannot let this evil continue.

>> reporter: trump, looking to rebound from a rocky stretch, and ginning up doubts about hillary clinton's foreign chops. >> with one episode of bad judgment after another, hillary clinton's policies launched isis onto the world same. things turned out really to be not so hot for our world and our country. >> reporter: even questioning whether she's physically fit to be commander in chief. >> she also lacks the mental and physical stamina to take on isis and all of the many adversaries we face. >> reporter: the billionaire businessman calling on the u.s. to abandon its attempts at nation building saying it's time to focus on fighting isis on all fronts. the gop nominee framing it as an idealogical war, harkening pack to the days of george w. bush, as he called on the u.s. to teem

up with any ally. and fleshing out his plan to block out immigrants that breed terrorism, proposing a test whether immigrants hold extremist views that don't mesh with american ideals. >> i call it extreme, extreme vetting. our country has enough problems. we don't need more, and these are problems like we've never had before. >> reporter: but this comes with logistical hurdles, and trump offered few details how he would implement the kind of idealogical test he laid out today. >> in addition, we must also screen out any one with hostile attitudes towards our country or principles or believe that sharia law should supplant

american law. those that do not believe in our constitution or support bigotry or hatred will not be admitted for immigration into our country. only those who we expect to flourish in our country and to embrace a tolerant american society should be issued visas. >> so donald trump clearly on message today. how much concern is there tonight that he can stay on mess snaj>> reporter: i think that's always a concern when it comes to donald trump, especially when he has this pattern of one day showing up reading from the teletrompter, and 24 hours later he veers off to the traditional donald trump. we saw "the wall street journal" editorial page come out and go after donald trump saying he needs to stop blaming everybody else and turn his campaign

around by labor day. and suggest it is he can't pull that off, he should turn the nomination over to mike pence. >> joining us is trump supporter, corey lewandowski. clarissa ward. corey, let's start with you. in terms of this idea of extreme vetting, of some soft of test of tolerance, how would that actually work, asking somebody when they're coming to the border, do you support gay rights, women's rights, is that for real? >> i think what you had and somewhat donald trump was alluding to, when you look at the san bernardino killer, the woman who came in on a k-1 visa, what the state department said her failures were, they didn't check her social media accounts. he's talking about looking at

social media activities. the u.s. has accept 8,000 syrian refugees to date, more than all of the eu combined right now. so we need to make sure that the people coming here first and foremost don't perpetuate or have the same type of mindset that the san bernardino killer had, which was to come here and commit jihadi. >> germany is the exception. almost a million people, they allowed migrant in, 800,000 to a million. congressman, the ideal of a tolerance test for people coming to the united states, does that make sense to you? >> first of all, there's already extensive screening. it's the toughest route possible to get to the united states as a refugee. literally the most strict screening process possible. we're already doing things to improve it. this really doesn't change anything. it might be unconstitutional, but it's not going to make us

safer. and it doesn't address what isis is trying to do is radicalize people right here at home. and they're using, as tools to do that, the rhetoric of people like donald trump who want to discriminate against people based on their religion, something expressly forbidden by the constitution. >> the concern with some of these syrian refugees, certainly the migrants going to germany. i was in greece when -- on the shores with hundreds coming ashore. you see passports ripped up. how easy is it to vet somebody? >> it's hard to do it, and that's why it takes two years for someone to go through the refugee process to come into america. it's not comparable to these refugees swimming ashore in europe. migrants are flowing across boarders freely into europe. you mentioned 800,000 into germany alone. there are very, very few controls. totally different when a refugee comes to the united states.

they go through the strictest screening of any travel tore the u.s. it usually takes upwards of 18 months to get through the process, almost two years, because we are so strict in skro scrutinizing them. so if an isis wants to come to the united states, coming as a refugee is the worst possible route. >> trump is talking about working with jordan and egypt, how many of these are things the u.s. is not already doing. >> i think that is what was striking, just listening to this speech. a lot of it sounded like policies that are already being implemented by the obama administration. trump talked a lot about working closely with allies, supporting allies who will support isis, cutting the source of isis funding. he talked about trying to put a stop to recruitment to shut down the internet, which i think is probably not only not feasible,

but also would be challenging for our security services who get a lot of their intelligence from that. he almost seemed to really put the entire arab spring at the feet of the obama administration as opposed to at the feet of the brutal dictators who have been in charge this that region, in those country for many decades. and it seemed he almost had a nostalgia for the heyday of the middle east dictator. he talked about president cici of egypt who has sentenced tens of thousands of people to death, who came to power in a coup. so there were a lot of mixed messages. he even, in the parallels he was drawing, conflating syria and libya, calling them disasters that the obama straight was responsible for. in libya, you had an intervention that had disastrous

consequences. in syria, there's been no intervention and the consequences have been hugely disastrous. syria is the festering would that isis started to thrive in, anderson. >> in terms of what trump said about his own record, a lot of people are pointing to inaccuracies. he talked about the catastrophic mistake of pulling u.s. troops out of iraq. he said it happened too quickly, not renegotiating the status forces agreement. that was something he called for in multiple interviews in 2006, 2007, 2008. this was one on larry king where he said just declare victory and get out, essentially like we did in vietnam. is it hypocritical, and of course, he attacked president obama for not going in faster against gadhafi. so there were multiple instances where things he was critical of the obama administration for, were things he was supporting several years ago. >> donald trump is a businessman and has been throughout his career and doesn't have access

to the same type of information that this administration has access to. so when you look at the things he was calling for, like the congressman, mr. trump said he was against the iraq war. >> but he wasn't against the iraq war. >> on howard stern, it was yeah, okay, maybe. that's not a ringing endorsement. that's really been overplayed. the congressman wasn't in favor of the war, but he served four tours of duty and we respect him for that. what you have now is with the best information he had available, you just get out. he said to wolf blitzer, it's time to get out. the problem became when the u.s. extracted themselves, that created the power vacuum which allowed isis to grow to what it is today, the single biggest source of terror in our world. >> congressman, what trump said on larry king was there's going to be a civil war no matter what, we should get out and

declare victory. is it hypocritical to attack the obama administration for not renegotiating the status forces agreement, which is valid position to have, but it is counter to what he used to have. >> it is hypocritical. donald trump is running for the commander in chief and someone we have to trust to make the right judgments. i've been a democrat who has been critical of the obama administration on some decisions. but the fact that donald trump is so inconsistent, so reckless with some of his recommendations and hypocritical when he criticizes others just shows that he's not fit to be our commander in chief. he might be a great businessman, but i think the record is a little shoddy on that,clearly de judgment to be making these calls for our national security. and talking about banning muslims, he's putting the troops

and our national security at risk just through the course of his campaign. >> congressman, appreciate your time. clarissa ward, as always. more with corey in a second. next up, the panel, corey included, joins us. and later sboshgs the louisiana flood zone. the death toll, the water keeps raising. a lot of brave rescuers rising to the occasion to help. we'll show you some incredible rescues. go-getters. all providers. all self-motivated self-starters. drive with uber and put a dollar sign in front of your odometer. like this guy. technically i'm a cook. sign up here. drive a few hours a day. make $300 a week. actually it's a little bit more than that. that's extra buy-you-stuff money. or buy-them-stuff money. calling all early risers, nine-to-fivers and night owls. with uber-a little drive goes a long way. start earning this week. go to uber.com/drivenow here you go.picking up for kyle. you wouldn't put up with part of a pizza.

talking about donald trump's second campaign reset. today in ohio he stuck to the script. last april, he told a crowd in harrisburg, pennsylvania one day he'll be so presidential he'll bore people and they'll stop coming to the rallies. the question tonight, what did the crowd in youngstown, ohio think? >> reporter: an invitation only crowd of donald trump supporters, waiting out in the ohio rain. waiting to find out how he plans to keep them safe. >> we've got to stop being victims. we've got to stop being gentle. >> reporter: this woman says america has to do what it has to do. does that include water boarding in your estimation and enhanced interrogation techniques? >> i'm not opposed to it.

>> donald j. trump is calling for a complete and shutdown of muslims entering the united states until our representativing can figure out what the hell is going on. >> reporter: tell me what you want to see. >> just the muslims, it has to stop. just till we get it ironed out. >> reporter: you want to hear donald trump say muslims should be banned for the time being? >> for the time being, yes. >> only this way will we make america great again and safe again for everyone. thank you very much. god bless you. thank you. thank you. >> reporter: once the speech was over, the reviews from the crowd were kind. trump did not specifically mention banning muslims, but about extreme vetting -- >> i thought it was inspiring. it's what the country needs.

>> reporter: what about his declaration -- >> if russia innovated latvia or estonia, how could they still be a u.s. ally? >> i think that's a good point, but we have room for negotiation. >> reporter: and on his criticism of hillary clinton and president obama -- >> i thought he was forceful in what he has to say, because we are in terrible shape. our president is a muslim who hates america. >> reporter: what did you say? >> i just said our president is a muslim who hates america. >> reporter: so you think barack obama is a muslim if >> oh, yes. >> reporter: he's a christian. >> no, he's not. >> reporter: that wasn't a typical response to this speech. this was. >> i thought it was awesome. i loved his speech entirely. >> gary tuchman joins us. anything else that stood out to trump supporters in particular about the speech?

>> reporter: i spoke to a lot of people today, anderson. one of the more interesting conversations was with a woman who was born in puerto rico but loves donald trump, loves everything he said today and loves one thing he did not say today. donald trump did not talk about his proposal to have a border wall on the border of the united states and mexico. i said there's no indication he has abandoned that position. but she said it's very significant that on a speech about national security he did not mention that border wall. >> gary, thank you very much. our panel now, jack kucinich, christine quinn and corey lewandowski is back with us. also, angela rye.

and trump supporter joseph berelli. jack, for the folks in that room, who were all trump supporters, it was very well received. donald trump needs to reach out to other people who maybe haven't been receptive to him yet. do you think he did that today with this speech? >> it sounded like it. yes, trump supporters would be very pleased by that speech, but this wasn't a speech meant to expand to other people, or didn't sound that way. we were talking about extreme immigration, it onalready takes8 to 24 months to get people into this country. >> congressman, did this speech reach out to you? >> i think donald trump's problem is, does he appear presidential. that is an issue that's been exacerba

exacerbated. to the controversy with the khans through the convention, and so his struggle is to really appear to be the commander in chief, to be confident enough, to be knowledgeable enough, and to have the ability to project american power appropriately. >> do you think he came out like that today? >> i think he struggles with that. most americans would say, do you want to do an enhanced back ground checks for immigrants, there's no right to immigration, we should make sure that every immigrant that comes in here has a commitment to america and american values. i'm comfortable with that, and i think most americans are. so he's right about that. where he veers into these religious litmus tests is where he loses people. he has a fantastic critique against hillary clinton and barack obama in libya, egypt, israel, our former allies, our

so-so allies in turkey and what's going on in syria. that's a fantastic critique. he ought to stay on message, talk about america's power. the other thing they have to be careful about, it's the issue to criticize nation building. two of the most successful foreign policy interventions were nation building in germany and japan. so if done correctly, if you can understand the capacity of those countries, their ability to have self-leadership and understanding of where those values lend themselves to democracy, there may be times you want to do that. >> angela, what is wrong with extreme vetting and have people ascribe to american values? >> i find it really challenging that he used the term "extreme" when we're talking about terrorism. when you're talking about extreme vetting again, going back into the processes that already exist, not only under

this current administration, but preceding administrations, what exactly does extreme vetting look like when you're talking about the candidate that supports torture? i want to know what exactly that means, how does extreme vetting pan out when you're talking about states that have the same type of sponsored laws, like russia that are anti-lbgtq. you said a lot of things that were hypocritical about muslim countries in your speech and -- >> i mean, just to argue the flip side, if president obama said they were going to have a litmus test that they had to support gay rights or equal rights for women, there might be a lot of folks on the other side of the aisle saying that sounds like political correctness gone haywire. >> supporting day rights and being outwardly opposed to it

be. but as far as extreme vetting, i think a lot of times the democratic party loses the regular voters when they have a problem saying yes, we want to vet people pretty extremely to make sure those coming into our country are not terrorists. you see europe with all the gun control measures. now they're moving towards being stricter on who comes to their border, because they realized some of the problems that have happened -- >> what about that? for years, it may still be on the immigration questionnaire, people were asked coming into the country, have you ever been a member of the communist party. what is wrong with extreme vetting? >> anyone who is coming into the country, you want them to be vetted appropriately. that needs to be a standard that is the same for everyone. let's not forget that president truman vetoed that bill, although congress did override him. that provision of that bill is a

vestige of mccarthyism. when i was hearing the introductions of trump's speech this morning, people kept saying we're going to find out if these folks who want to come in ascribe to american values. well, is that my american values? is that donald trump's american values? what does that mean? >> what does that mean. >> one other thing, i find it hypocritical on a level -- i find it hard to describe that they're going say they're going to keep anti-lbgtq people out of the country when just last week, donald trump went with marco rubio to an anti-lbgt event a stone's throw from the pulse nightclub, and mike pence is one of the most anti-lbgt elected officials in the country. so if -- >> okay, here's what i think it comes down to. donald trump's message for this campaign has been and continues

to be putting america first. and what that means is making sure we have a full appreciation and understanding of who's coming into our country. coming into this country is a privilege. you don't have the same privileges in other countries that you do here. >> there's a lot of people with a lot of different ideas. >> i had the privilege of going to ellis island and taking a tour. the rangers told us the questions that those people were asked as they came into the country. will you be a productive member of this country. do you have a job here? what will you do to contribute to america? america was a melting pot that they needed immigrants to come in and grow. we have always been that. but what we want to make sure is we have the best people, not just anyone gets to come. it is a privilege to be a member of the united states. >> all four of my grandparents came through ellis island. one of them as a 16-year-old girl after surviving the "titanic." my grand parents were asked those questions and those questions had meaning to them.

they came from ireland. nobody asked them if they were republicans if an irish sense. no one asked them if they had family who were involved in supporting the republican cause. nobody asked them what their perspective on the declaration from the post office in 1916. no one asked them that. >> a lot of folks didn't want irish immigrants in the united states at that time. >> but nonetheless, nobody asked them at ellis island. nobody said some irish and not others. >> the difference is, they weren't at war with the united states. that was an internal domestic issue. >> but muslims aren't either. >> you weren't having people threaten to come of to the u.s. and attack -- >> muslims aren't at war with this country either. we start getting very treacherous when we talk about banning a religion. i know he's dialed that back,

but you heard his supporters say that a muslim ban is what they wanted to hear. you heard another supporter say that the president is a muslim. [ overlapping speakers ] >> the father of the killer of the nightclub is a supporter of hillary clinton. [ overlapping speakers ] >> all right, one at a time. >> one of the other problematic parts of this plan was that it was not only immigrants, it was their children. i mean, that's unconstitutional. i don't know how that could be even put into effect. so that's -- i would love to ask a question about that. >> we have to take a quick break. when we come back, new polling.

welcome back. hillary clinton had some company on the campaign trail in pennsylvania today. some help slamming donald trump. for the first time, vice president joe biden hit the trail with hillary clinton. they spoke at a rally in pennsylvania. he said trump is unqualified to be president. clinton zeroed in on what she called the trump loophole on his tax plan and would only benefit people like him. >> he would end up paying a rate lower than millions of middle class families. that is assuming he pays any taxes at all. we really don't know since we haven't seen his tax return. >> clinton is leading trump by double digits in pennsylvania. polls in four battleground states shows an uphill climb for trump. the new battleground states, is it all bad news for trump? >> yes. in a word, it's all bad news. ten or 12 in the last week or so.

let's go through the ones that matter most. these are six state that is are almost always traditional battleground states. florida, ohio, north carolina, new hampshire, virginia, colorado. why are they blue? hillary clinton leads in all six. this is a presentation. these numbers are generous to donald trump. when i say clinton leading by three or four, that's an average in the last month. more recent polls show more than that. same with ohio. the average is plus two. recent polls show a bigger lead. she's ahead in north carolina. look here, one, two, three, four, five, six. these are bigger leads in virginia, colorado, new hampshire. six states in a close election fought to the end. advantage, clinton right now. anderson, donald trump said okay, maybe i'm not going to win the traditional battlegrounds, but i'm toing to turn some traditionally blue sates red. not at the moment. michigan, pennsylvania, wisconsin and new york who ch he says he can flip. the average is 17 in new york, nine in new york, six in michigan.

nine in wisconsin. other polls have bigger clinton leads. trump cannot win unless he turns some of these big blue prizes red. there's not one of them i can circle and say donald trump is turning this state, that state or that state. right now, he's in a ditch. >> let's translate that into the race that matters most, the race for 270 electoral votes. >> if you go by -- remember, 85 days to go. a lot can change in 85 days. he's defied gravity many times. if you go with where the races are now, i just showed you hillary clinton leading in ohio. michigan and wisconsin leaning her way. leading in ohio, pennsylvania, virginia, north carolina, florida and new hampshire. iowa and nevada are off the table for now. that gets her to 335. you only need 270 to win. if those states voted on election day where they are right now, she would win by a bigger margin than barack obama

beat romney. i'm not including iowa and nevada. if she's winning others she is winning those. 85 days, a lot can change. donald trump is in a ditch. >> what does trump need to do? is there a dynamic driving to clinton? >> there's no question, the democrats had a successful convention. that changed dynamics. you have been taking about it since the beginning of the program. questions about trump's discipline and whether or not he can stay on message. it's complicated. here's one thing to take a look at. which candidate is best able to handle the economy? that's issue one. donald trump, for months in the polling had an advantage, a big advantage around the time of his convention. the most recent poll, hillary clinton. roughly even. 50-48. it's not a great advantage for hillary clinton. trump's lead over the past several months, this is a big change. hillary clinton running even with trump on the economy. if that number doesn't change,

given the structural advantages the clinton campaign has, another warning sign for trump. >> thanks. breaking it down by the numbers. trump's campaign chairman get millions of dollars in secret payments from ukraine? there's an investigation happening. we'll get the latest on what drew griffin has found. that's next. i am rich. in my gentleman's quarters, we sip champagne and peruse my art collection, which consists of renaissance classics and more avant-garde pieces. yes, i am rich. that's why i drink the champagne of beers.

comcast. it's an ominous report that paul manafort could have gotten mlt millions in secret crash from ukraine's former party. hillary clinton's campaign manager is calling on trump to disclose money from russia. "the new york times" broke the story. but first, drew griffin has been digging and joins us now with what he has found. a lot of unknowns. what do we know at this stage? >> reporter: this is what we know. paul manafort worked for the past government of ukraine. that past government is now under investigation for what it did with a lot of money, a lot of corruption.

there's an actual anti-corruption bureau that was begun by the government of ukraine to look at this. they began looking and dug up a black ledger they call it. it's 841 pages, handwritten, anderson, detailing what appears to be under the table payoffs to various people in and around the former ukraine government. now, on those documents, we are told, 22 times between the years 2007 and 2012, paul manafort's name comes up. he was doing consulting work over there. correspondent to that name are $12.7 million in what they say designated payments. the issue is, were these payments efficient made? what do they represent? we don't have an answer to that. the cautionary note from the anti-corruption bureau is there's no signature by paul manafort next to the payments so

they believe there's a chance he didn't sign for the cash. it's part of a much, much bigger government corruption investigation going on in the ukraine. there he is. paul manafort in the middle of it. >> there's no secret he did work in ukraine. that's been known. doing political consulting. is there anything that says what he did was illegal in any way? i know this report has -- there were shell companies involved and cayman islands and places like that. >> well, paul manafort trashed "the new york times" and the reporter is going to talk about that. there are two separate issues. the issue of the payments. were the payments illegal? we don't know. were the payments made? we don't know. we don't know what the payments were about. if paul manafort is getting $12.7 million in ukrainian government funds under the table, that is possibly illegal. we just don't know that yet.

he had legitimate business there. it's wide open. everybody knew it. he had the right to work for the party of regions which he worked for many, many years. >> the president that he was working for ultimately fled the country and is now living in russia. what has manafort said about it? >> he responded very harshly when "the new york times" broke this, calling this silly. let me read you a part of his statement. he said the simplest answer is the truth, i am a campaign professional. it is well known i do work in the united states and have done work on overseas campaigns as well. i have never received a single off the books cash payment as falsely reported by "the new york times" nor have i done work for the governments of ukraine or russia. he goes on to say, the suggestion that i accepted cash payment is unfounded, silly and nonsensical. >> drew, thank you very much. a reporter that broke the story and author of "missing man."

barry joins me now. thanks for being with us. what do you make of what paul manafort said? >> just to drain out the bombast from his statements, the facts in the story are what they are. as drew mentioned, the ledger shows 22 payments over five-year period that are related to mr. manafort's name. who the money went to is not clear. it's analogous to a bookmaker. >> they were calling a black ledger. it was found in one of the presidential offices, right? >> correct. basically, you know, they probably had two sets of books, one showed to the tax people and another with cash payments in it. so, the question is, did this money go to mr. manafort, to his firm, to his associates?

>> he was helping the guy who became president get re-elected, organize the campaign election, stuff like that, which is why he said he never worked for the government itself. he was working for the campaign. is it possible if these payments were made that they were legitimate payments for work done on the campaign? >> anything is possible. but, i mean, the question is, why were they cash payments? and how do those payments or that sum of money relate to the actual money that mr. manafort or his firm received for the services they provided to the party? we don't know what that sum is. >> right. >> it's only when you know the sum you can put these sums into context. >> manafort seems to take issue with the term off the books cash payment. what do you make of that? >> he says i never personally received it. he, mr. manafort.

the question was, did his firm receive them? did some of his associates receive these payments? he doesn't address that in the statement. we don't know the answer to that. >> the other question, is there linkage between his work for the guy, the president of ukraine and donald trump's positions toward russia? as i said, he's fled and living in russia. >> right. >> that makes this another aspect of the story. >> i have no idea. i have no idea what informed mr. trump's positions on those subjects, nor do i know what input mr. manafort has. >> what surprised you most about this story? >> these books showing payment and there was money. either the money exists or doesn't exist and somebody got the money. hopefully in days and weeks to come, we'll know where the money went. >> the investigation continues. thank you very much. appreciate it. up next, historic flooding in louisiana.

devastating flooding has killed at least five people in louisiana. the governor expects 30 parishes will be declared a major disaster. that's about half the number in the entire state. streets are rivers in some places, homes are now islands. more than 20,000 people have been rescued. the coast guard first responders, volunteers are helping those trapped in flood waters trying to get to dry land. take a look. >> reporter: rescues by boat, from the air, even from underneath the flood waters. >> get out! >> i'm trying! >> give me a knife. >> reporter: this rescue crew in baton rouge found a car which was quickly sinking. the driver was trapped inside. you hear her calling for help. >> we're coming. we're breaking the window. >> reporter: but with the car now almost completely under water, one of the rescuers jumps

in the water. grabbing the driver's arm and pulling her out of the car up to safety. >> get my dog! get my dog! >> reporter: as soon as she's able to take a breath she pleads with him to save her dog, still trapped inside the car. >> i will get the dog. here, here. i can't get the dog. >> reporter: so he dives back down under the water. >> i got your dog! >> reporter: in the end, saving them both. officials and volunteers in louisiana are working around the clock to help those stranded by the devastating floods. those able to walk through the

rushing water are given a helping hand to higher ground. those unable to make it on their own are carried to safety. >> as of right now, there have been more than 20,000 people rescued from their homes in and around southern louisiana. >> reporter: pets weren't left behind in these rescues. this military convoy made room for dogs as well as people. they fled the baton rouge area. the flood waters are not expected to recede for days, with many still trapped inside their homes, rescue operations continue. images like these evoking memories of hurricane katrina which hit this region 11 years ago this month. over the weekend, more than 20 inches of rain fell in and around baton rouge and more is on the way. the water is not done rising in louisiana. our meteorologist jennifer gray joins us from baton rouge with more. almost two feet of rain in just a few days. how is the community coping? >> reporter: well, this is a one in 1,000 year flood.

this comes just on the heels, six months ago, we had a historic flood across south louisiana. and so now, we're seeing another one. you know the front cover of the times this morning said like katrina all over again. i think the images of people climbing out of their roofs to get to safety, to get on people's boats, to get out of their neighborhoods, was haunting for people across louisiana. we have drone footage now. and you can see the scope of what we're talking about. water chest high inside people's homes. it's going to be a long time before they are able to get back in. >> that's drone footage from the area you are in. jennif jennifer, is more rain expected? what's the forecast? >> reporter: well, we are looking at a little bit more rain each day. we are not going to see widespread all-day rain but we will see popup showers. it shouldn't do too much as far as worsen the flood but a lot of the rivers have already crested. keep in mind this will be a very slow climb downward. we are talking about days, not

hours. so some of these rivers could sit at where they crested for several days. we are talking about these houses behind me with water inside. it could be the end of the week before they are able to get in their front door. >> terrible. jennifer gray, i appreciate you being there. the next hour of "360" donald trump proposes what he calls extreme vetting of immigrants and other steps as he unveils his plan to defeat isis. this is how you apply the first paint that kills bacteria. sherwin-williams paint shield continuously kills 99.9% of bacteria. totally breakthrough. surprisingly the same. and it's only avaiblble at sherwin-williams.

good evening. at the end of a big day in presidential politics, especially for donald trump, he's been having a hard time in the polls and with many republicans, some of whom are losing patience with the way he's running his campaign. they want him to stay on message unlike the way things happened last week after he laid out his economic plan. this afternoon, he unveiled his plan for fighting isis including tougher scrutiny for immigrants with an eye towards stopping islamic extremism at the border. >> the time is overdue to develop a new screening test for the threats we face today. i call it extreme vetting. i call it extreme, extreme vetting. our country has enough problems. we don't need more, and these are problems like we've never had before. >> cnn's sara murray was in youngstown, ohio and joins us from there. donald trump calls this extreme vetting. did he offer a lot of details about what ect
