>> "outnumbered" starts right now. >> we begin with a fox news alert as a key player apart from the trump campaign, paul manafor has resigned after major changes to the campaign's leadership after he came under fire for the pro-russian government in ukraine. this is "outnumbered". i am harris faulkner and here is dagan mcdowell, julia brezinski and catherine henze and hashtag one lucky guy, former governor of arkansas, mike huckabee. you are part of the family.

>> i am out everything. i am delighted to be here. >> paul manaforte was brought in to professionalize donald trump's campaign and prepare for general election run, stepping down from his post as campaign chairman. a veteran republican pollster, the campaign manager, breitbart head on the campaign ceo. he raked in millions of dollars from association with ukraine government. i am very appreciative to paul's great work getting us where we are today. in particular, his work guiding us through delegate convention

process. paul is a true professional and i wish him the greatest success. your thoughts on this, you have led campaigns before. when the announcements were made this week critics jumped and said it is not good when someone is named ceo, what do you make of this? >> probably a story behind the story but it doesn't matter because donald trump is still the candidate. he will still be donald trump and has people around him. paul manaforte got to the convention and bring those delegates to the magic number he had to have to be the nominee. i am not sure donald trump would be as successful had it not been for manaforte. why he left i don't know. >> trump's stay on message, calm things down a little bit and because of the controversy surrounding him that is the only way to stay on message.

people are talking about these ties and making a difficult, vote for me instead of hillary, caught the defensive. >> the topic of russia comes up so much, having a deputy talk about russia and have these allegations. >> allegations are getting worse because the associated press reported confidential emails that contradicted his claim that he never lobbied on behalf of ukrainian political figures. it looked like it would get worse. donald trump is toting a trainload of baggage, his own luggage if you will. he didn't need any more of it. >> he has more luggage than delta airlines. >> thank you for translating for these people. >> this is going to be a looming

problem. if paulmanaforte -- >> here is the press worried about someone who works for the candidate and on the other side a candidate who has collected hundreds of millions of dollars through the family foundation shaking down foreign government and corporations and doing favors through the government. does that not bother anybody? new york times? >> look. the problem with the trump campaign is not paul manaforte, i am a fan of connolly, she is a fantastic person on a human level. i am happy she is where she is. i don't know, i don't know that any of them regardless whether it is kelly and who is a great professional or manaforte,

people i think are great people, are going to be able to get trump under control because the problem is not the campaign manager or the people in charge, it is donald trump. it was a successful speech but at the end of the day. he will never hit it. we all know why. >> this is the impression. as we move into the weekend maria bartiroma sat down with eric trump. let's get a touch of that. eric trump talking about the resignation. we understand how it plays on the side of the campaign. >> my father didn't want to be distracted, paul was amazing. he helped us get through the primary process, did a great job with delegates. now you look at the other people

bringing it in, absolutely fantastic and they are the ones who bring up all the way through november 8th and 2 victory. my father didn't want to have those distractions looming over the campaign and all the issues. >> i wonder if donald trump shouldn't give credit for recognizing this quickly and taking care of it. you hear eric trump say we didn't want this to be a distraction. the pounds, there is a shakeup at the top, what i don't see is the credibility that somebody -- a discussion about leaving. >> you know how to hire good people and surround yourself and how to hire people get the job done. why hadn't obama fired a bunch of people. who knows how to fire people and

how to hire people. >> as opposed to corey lewandowski, right away this is a distraction, he has to go because it is crunch time. >> you have run for office a bunch of times. we are 10 days before labor day. this is the third campaign in the last eight weeks, it is mechanically not good. >> why can't it be? >> i will tell you why. what we should be talking about, would donald trump's message -- we spent the last eight weeks talking about the drama, when you talk about bank -- mechanics on the campaign, you need to stay on message. real people don't care about paul manaforte.

>> got positive things to say. >> more changes for donald trump, the nominee says he regrets past comments that offended people, many republicans say it is the trump pivot. >> sometimes in the heat of debate and speaking on a multitude of issues you don't choose the right words or you say the wrong thing. i have done that. and believe it or not, i regret it. and i do regret it, particularly where it may have caused personal pain. >> trump's speech cut his critics by surprise but not those who know him best. >> i like humble trump.

that is the father i know. he is not pc and -- he will admit he is passionate and not reading off of the teleprompter 99% of the time with politicians, we have spoken about this before, you hear the reversed soundbite, he is out there every single day, he has strayed and that is great. >> hillary team a different reaction, we learned tonight a speechwriter and teleprompter knows he has much for which he should apologize but that apology is simply a well-written phrase until he says which of his divisive statements he regrets and changes altogether. you have something positive to add? >> i will speak to the statement from the hillary clinton campaign, it shows how deep the organization is. you know they wrote that 6

months ago just waiting to issue it. anticipating he would say something like this. in two weeks he has given four prepared speeches. it is all about the follow-through. and with steve on board, and the same old insult thrown in. body slamming trump from the primary season. you see his surrogates do the dirty work, bringing out issues, this microcosm. >> with that does that make this campaign more typical and let trump the trump? >> i said this when we were

traveling. go get a goon squad. this is a group of people -- >> i am laughing, you are saying what people say in politics and private. we know it. >> they take the baseball bat, the candidate stays on message. >> anywhere? >> you can't stand the sight of your own blood don't run for anything. >> why were you involved? >> you haven't quite seen the mean side of me. >> did i hear you say there is a pivot coming? this has been going on for 24 hours. >> this was a great speech but he will start going crazy in a

couple days. >> it was one night. like going home, he changed after one night which is never a good idea. >> if it had not been the email scanner for hillary clinton, she could have sunk her teeth in f donald trump took the bait. nasty things were said last week but that didn't happen. we saw a string of those things, who is behind that, trump and his regrets, can we play that? >> that is all him. he took extra time going over that speech with a pen. that was a decision he made, those are his words, everyone criticized him at some point for being insensitive and mocking

someone. and some forgiveness. >> her hands on this, in terms of the tone of what is happening. i want to point out she is such a flawed candidate there getting ready to start some advertising -- >> and hillary clinton. >> the trump campaign is going to start, five radical key states. clinton spent a lot of money on advertising data. and that is a huge latino voting block up two percentage points, with tweaking and massaging a different message, maybe trump listening to her.

>> one thing, i apologize to anyone who feels that occurred, i don't think i said anything to hurt your feelings but if i were hurt by them that is i apologize. would be apologizing for? john mccain? the new york times? mrs. con? they were sensitive. >> all you do is apologize. and people's feelings do get hurt but this is a rough business. this is a life we have chosen. if you cannot -- we are way too sensitive and if you are that sensitive stay out of politics. >> amid growing allegations of pay to play the clinton foundation plans to turn operations to independent entities and stop accepting

foreign donations if hillary is elected but republicans call it too little too late. president obama hitting the golf course, martha's vineyard vacation. the mainstream media, some of them essentially -- that is not what was the case with george w. bush. double standard? with 9 grams of protein and 26 vitamins and minerals. for the strength and energy to get back to doing... ...what you love. ensure. always be you. at safelite, we know how busy life can be. these kids were headed to their first dance recital... ...when their windshield got cracked... ...but they couldn't miss the show. so dad went to the new safelite-dot-com. and in just a few clicks, he scheduled a replacement... ...before the girls even took the stage. safelite-dot-com is the fast, easy way to schedule service anywhere in america! so you don't have to miss a thing. y'all did wonderful! that's another safelite advantage.

(girls sing) safelite repair, safelite replace.

no... they feel good? you wouldn't put up with part of a pair of glasses. so when it comes to pain relievers, why put up with part of a day? these are not useful. live whole. not part. aleve.

arthel: the clinton foundation turning operations over to independent entities and start raising foreigners corporate donations if hillary clinton is elected president. they faced scrutiny for accepting money from countries like saudi arabia, and pay to play allegations that dog the campaign. writes priebus responding this effort to shield hillary clinton of the clinton foundation after a year of controversy too little too late. the clinton foundation said sees accepting foreign donations and return every penny ever taken from other countries several of which have atrocious human rights records and ties to terrorism. trump has said he would put his real estate and other businesses

into a blind trust most likely with his children as trustees. mike huckabee getting religion of the clinton foundation. >> after robbing every bank and 711 you got the money, they have shaken down every foreign government and corporation to say we won't take any more money. what are you going to do? >> if elected president, what is to stop her from taking all the money now. theoretically no different. >> do we get a blotter of everything that has gone on if she becomes president? >> that loss with 33,000 emails disappeared. the dog ate my homework. >> where did the money come from? as president she will change things. what is bringing that on outside

the fact we expect not to be taking money from foreign entities? >> i think they should never have had a foundation once she became secretary of state. there is a conflict of interest. i don't know why they did it and they should never have done it. >> you know why they did it, it is to enrich themselves. >> there could have been speeches, and it was not the foundation. >> is that to pay for some of those. >> actually expensive. >> i have some of the stats. there were 60 companies that lobbied the state department to give $26 million to the clinton foundation in terms of speeches, 2 dozen companies and groups and one foreign government paid bill clinton $8 million to give speeches with matters in front of hillary clinton and the state

department 15 of them donated $15 million to the clinton foundation and in several instances state department action benefited those -- >> it flowed through a long one binary point, access. >> he left the white house and became a senator voting on matters affecting people, you are a woman and allowed to have your own career, your husband's career should not be tied to yours but when she left as secretary of state, knowing she was going to run for president, we know that. why did you do this? the optics are so horrific. >> i certainly -- >> personality issue, who they are, what is going to change if

she gets elected. and not getting speeches if he wins the white house. >> that is unacceptable. whatever a first lady does, the way michelle obama has, the way laura bush did, that is what you do, and -- >> jimmy carter has an example what to do post presidency, he was not a great president but he is a great person, the way he handled his presidency is more commendable, he hasn't and things i don't agree with, said a lot of things i don't agree with but stayed out of a scandal filled trouble. that is commendable. arthel: a tale of two responses to tragedy. donald trump touring flood ravaged louisiana with president obama continuing his vacation in martha's vineyard. is this bad optics?

what are mainstream media saying? >> there was nothing marked classified that were sent or received. >> some words that could come back to haunt hillary clinton. the house judiciary committee is planning to do in regard to her testimony last year. and how it could affect the campaign heading into the fall.

>> the pictures, the reality will break your heart, that flooding putting two responses in the spotlight. 13 people have died, thousands of being in shelters, what the red cross, the worst natural disaster since hurricane sandy. donald trump and governor pens

meeting with victims and first responders. >> i hope everyone in louisiana knows the country is praying for them and standing with them to help them in these difficult hours. >> from a presidential candidate to the actual president, continues his vacation on martha's vineyard, he plays golf with larry david yesterday, and sparking criticism from one lucky guy, governor mike huckabee writing about this in an open letter to the president. here is what it says as you sit next to me. maybe if it rains in martha's vineyard and you have to cancel a golf game you might fire up air force one and check on my friends in louisiana. they need you, not because you can personally fix it but you showing up means a lot of

resources will show up. louisiana's democratic governors defending the president's response saying it is not the time to visit. >> within hours of me requesting a federal declaration the president granted the declaration and called me to discuss it. the president is welcome to visit i would just assume he give us another week or two, get back to a greater sense of normalcy. >> i'm curious to get your response on when the president visits, there is a lot you can get done remotely and it is not about optics but also parts. >> governors and presidents show up at a national disaster because it calls attention that wouldn't be called. people see it in a way they want, the first story on the evening news, not the fifth.

it expresses sympathy of the entire nation, and people who lost everything. the president can't make the waters reseed although he referenced he could do that in 2008. here is what he can do. he will marshal more resources, so will churches and the red cross and salvation army, i had no idea it would be this bad, this action as a point of leader and after 7 years of being president he doesn't understand that role, he is not paying attention. >> some criticism from president obama, he doesn't care. when it comes to the doing of the job, this is what lame-duck

looks like a. >> you do -- i remember sandy very well. i wonder whether the president showing up right now showing up, everything that entails, the highway shutdown, local security being diverted to the presidential visit, and -- >> let me finish my thought. my question is legitimately, if you are in the middle of this kind of emergency, not next week or two weeks ago when things will reseed, is this helpful at the governor, governor of arkansas will be helpful to have that on the presidential visit going on? rather than those resources? >> it is a great question, it

means a lot the president shows a. to his credit bill clinton when a big tornado hit was on the phone, usually 48 hours afterward. he was always careful not to come in the middle of recovery but he came in and was personal about it. he should have been there by now. this happened several days ago. you get to the outskirts. >> the rain has been relentless. arthel: made a statement and was on the golf course. it is repeated. there was a brussels terror attack, one of our nato allies, was at a baseball game in cuba doing the wave. i don't think people have a problem with this. and after that incident he said in an interview he should've anticipated the optics because part is the theater of it.

>> comparing presidents. >> people criticize george w over katrina which is the wrong thing to do. and people want to make excuses even though this is a pattern. does he care or not care? if i were there i would be upset about it. all my stuff, you are golfing in the president, that looked bad and should be something he thinks about more often. >> for the governor of louisiana to get involved you know what is happening there, his experience was different. >> let's move on to this, house republicans stepping up the push to bring perjury charges against hillary clinton, members of the house judiciary committee planning to question fbi

officials about the issue of a general oversight, two leading republicans laying out there case for lying to congress, testifying nothing she said was marked classified. three emails where. she claimed her lawyers read all emails to see what should be turned over to states, they did not. she said she turned over all her work-related emails in 2014, she did not. she had multiple private servers. does it make her look sympathetic? republicans had a problem with that. >> i don't think it hurts her. this particular scandal, pretty much baked and. you think hillary clinton is a lie you can't trust, she perjured herself, was responsible for people dying in benghazi, guess what, if you ar

independent voter, this is not what is going to affect you. it will affect how you address issues that are important to you. if you want to have this, that is fine, it will not affect your selection by doing this. it is the right thing to do governmentally but if it is a political calculus it is not a smart one. >> the governor i see in the timing of this is a few days ago these candidates, the national security briefings and advisories, just accept the fact, there are people who have to think in a fresh way to get that all over again. >> some of the things you're getting are classified which means this. before you get that information they have to have fbi interview in which they are told the parameters of what you can hear.

here's what you can't do with it and you are under penalty of law. >> the clinton foundation, why did they do that? they know they can get away with that and they are usually right. it kind of goes away after a while. having the power of being a leader of the free world isn't going to humble you into accountability. i am concerned about it, don't understand why more people aren't. >> is trying to blame colin powell for the suggestion which is patently false. it is evidence they were sitting got up before she allegedly had the conversation and outside email address. >> did not have a long hearing,

14 hours is ridiculous. they praise her for having the stamina to sit there. >> what i was trying to get it is republicans overplayed their hand. >> never miss an opportunity to miss an opportunity. >> come on. the state department admitting the us used a $400 million cash payment to iran is, quote, leverage to secure the freedom of american hostages. is leverage just a code word for ransom? whether the move emboldened iran to take other americans prisoner. for those who can't imagine life without two wheels,

>> the state department is conceding the $400 million payments made to iran was tied to the release of those three, four american hostages. john kirby admitted yesterday they delayed making payments to several others to retain maximum leverage. it was not a ransom. earlier today saying this. >> nowhere was there any talk about ransom or payment to get our americans back. we would be having a much different conversation if we had

released the money and iran reneged. not a lot of trust between the united states and iran. >> the trump put some blame on hillary clinton saying she put together and iran deal that makes her unfit to be president. we will talk about that, you hear an actual admission, and what is really being said here? >> kirby was caught off guard? he does his best to be honest and he was honest. we are not giving iran any money. and support hamas and hezbollah, they kill and kidnap, they support terrorism, this is a regime we should never negotiate, shouldn't of released

the sanctions, this has been -- obama thinks it will be his legacy. it will be, not the way he wants it. >> the fact that we gave that to them is creating a literal tangible financial incentive to kidnap americans. >> i want to point to kirby's body language, it slaps you in the face. >> i want to point out something. we would not know about this if not for the wall street journal and its incredible morning and they did the follow-up story that led to this admission. the iran airplane, iran airplane that picked up this money in geneva was sanctioned by the us treasury department and one day before the cash and prisoner transfer, sanctions were lifted

on this airline because of the -- >> coincidence. >> nothing to see here, let's move along. >> $1.7 billion, and that money sat, and we give them this money for leverage, admiral kirby was being honest but the most honest thing, we get our people home. leverage, is a code for ransom? >> when you pay someone and give them something, the quid pro quo, this or that, may not call it ransom, you can call it charity. >> watch the $2 billion in this country that are supposed to go

to victims and iranians sponsored terrorism. margaret ahmadinejad said we want that money back, there are three american prisoners to happen before january. >> guy benson of all people, i am very torn. the iranian prison, whatever it took to get away with it. >> that was the much on your own. >> there are no good answers to it. >> here is the answer, stop lying to the american people. >> i agree with that. i am sorry. controversial new rules at a top university to encourage gender equality. all men's clubs are slapped with sanctions and women's clubs are given a free pass.

40,000 homes damaged or destroyed, as mister trump reset his campaign with a well-received speech and paul manafort step down. hillary clinton the a little ramifications, and the clinton foundation made some potential changes. firefighters making some progress in the worst of california's wildfires. fires are raging all over the west and yellowstone and the weather is not happening. >> we will be watching, thank you very much. >> an update to a story we told you about in the spring, banning members from certain clubs of having things on campus. a woman across seneca, minor changes to bylaws banning men. the same privilege is not given

to mail clubs. and need mail obtained by the harvard crimson, writing, quote, men may apply but membership can be made up of women without incurring sanctions of the administration of new policy but a civil liberty's group telling the daily caller habit is encouraging the women's group to blatantly lie about its practices. what they are saying is it is a purely social club, do you think that is why? or are they realizing why we are doing this? >> i'm confused with the difference will be. she -- the women's club, men allowed, they can form their own club. i don't understand the difference. >> back in my day, when i went to harvard or boston, which was

a long time ago, looking across the river at my alma mater, what is the difference, just separated by a river. which i thought was somet but you have fraternities and sororities, what is the big deal? i don't understand the notion. >> belonging to a fraternity if you are a woman, why would you want to? >> it is the result of political correctness and the push for everybody having no sense of gender. this is the inevitable result. it lacks common sense and makes people look stupid when they say we have an all women's club, we are pretending we are not. >> people who couldn't get into either slot call it the club. >> are you allowed to hang out with all men and all women? why do they have to say we allow

men but not going to? what good does that do? >> they realize the benefits of having a single sex club and having all women but they want to be politically correct, because they know if i say i am a woman and want to join the men's club i have to -- i don't want to have to make up with them. i went to an all girl high school for three years, the greatest experience of my life and i didn't have to worry about boys, just learning ic the -- >> of boys wanted to go to your school, if the door had been open as an option. >> the coed classes, i looked is dreadful in those. >> hanging out with the girls or the guys is a valuable thing and normal thing to want to do.
