7:10 am
duke values, donald trump values are not american values. >> trump did eventually tweet his condolences and chris christie accused hillary clinton. >> this type of discourse is just unwarranted, but it was started by mrs. clinton. >> hillary clinton is a bigot. >> trump beat clinton to the bunch by about 12 hours. >> there has been a steady stream of bigotry coming from him. >> two sides tangling over the clinton foundation and the access to donors as secretary of state. >> we get these new revelations that there are thousands of new things we haven't yet seen. >> the republicans call it pay to play. why are they wrong about that? >> when republicans meet with their donors and supporters, they call it a meeting and when democrats do it, they call it a conflict. >> reporter: the state department said repeatedly the foundation donors did not get special favors when clinton was secretary, but republicans say

they want to see more documentation including clinton's calendars, her ske schedules and 15,000 e-mails unearthed by the fbi. >> thank you. dan, joining us now a senior advisor to the romney/ryan campaign in 2012. let's start with the news this morning. the trump campaign announced to spend $10 million in nine states for the new ad called two americas. is it too little, too late? >> the message is right. this is a changed election. any normal circumstance, you run against a candidate effectively the third term of obama and public life for three decades. this would be an effective message. late in the process, as you said. and in terms of the ad by about $10 million it's a fraction of what the clinton campaign spent over the last several months. this stage of the presidential campaign is like a world war ii battlefield. it's about mass deployment. mass tv buying. mass field ground operation. trump is doing none of it and
7:12 am
like a little drip. >> also a debate about mass deportation in this campaign. and donald trump saying he's going to finally give this major speech on wednesday. >> right. >> supposedly clarifying. isn't this muddling bringing more attention to a divisive issue for someone trying to gain hispanic voters? >> absolutely. i don't think they believe they're actually going to reach a significant amount of latino voters but trying to reach white educated suburban middle class, upper middle class suburbs where they're suffering and republicans can't win without those voters. they try to calm them saying we're not as crazy and xenophobic are saying we are but just this uncertainty about the position where you show earlier, his surrogates on tv all over the weekend. no two of them said the same thing about the immigration plan. just speaks to the strains of not having a real presidential campaign. when you have that, you have surrogates, roll out policy, coordinate. none of that's going on.
7:13 am
it's chaos. >> and then we see the surrogates step away in the first debate and not only is roger ales advising donald trump with the first debate but the trump campaign in a stark and marked contrast to the clinton campaign is not actually having any mock debates. fair to say that's unusual. >> yeah. i've been involved with debate prep, multiple presidential campaigns, primary presidential campaigns. the mock debate is so important not only to recreate the point/counterpoint, it's exhausting. hillary clinton, she's pretty effective debater and if you look at her debate experience, near the end of the primary in 2008 when she was one on one with obama and then this last primary one on one with sanders. that's not the experience trump has had. he's used to being on stage for 90 minutes, two hours with 13, 14 candidates. if you look at the cumulative time on for those periods, 15, 20 minutes and even then, we were struck. i was involved with the rubio
7:14 am
debate prep. we were struck by how exhausted he would get. it's a stamina issue. you've got to prep. this is a much different kind of debate than the primaries. >> trump? >> and you could see on the show on television by the end, he was sort of worn down. even though he was on attack, it was a stamina issue. and that's when he's sharing a stage with 13, 14 people. this is one on one with 100 million people watching. >> it's a different campaign as ever. appreciate it. two brothers accused of killing dwyane wade's cousin face murder charges for friday's deadly shooting on chicago's south side. dean reynolds where the man in charge said the systematiuspecte prime example of the challenge we face end quote. good morning to you. >> reporter: two shooting suspects, the police say, have
7:15 am
long criminal records and were known gang members. apparently, they were shooting on friday at the driver of a car. they missed him but they struck nakia aldridge after having registered one of her children at a local school. >> this reprehensible act of violence is an example of why we need to change habitual offenders. when will enough be enough? >> reporter: both brothers on parole for previous crimes each charged with first-degree murder in the shooting death of nakia aldridge. darren, the younger brother, admitted to police he fired his gun multiple times. family members remember the 32 mother of four at a vigil on sunday. >> gone and can't come back.
7:16 am
>> reporter: chicago bulls star dwyane wade mourned his cousin's death on twitter. the city of chicago is hurting. we need more help and more hands on deck. wade had spoken at a chicago town hall on gun violence the day before aldridge was killed. >> we can start a conversation and hopefully, eventually, we can stop it. >> reporter: chicago alone has faced a startling number of shootings. 460 homicides and 2,800 shootings plagued the city this year. and statistics on track to surpass last year's totals. police superintendent johnson said his city recovered nearly 6,000 illegal handguns in 2016. enough for one every hour. >> the gun offenders that choose to do this time and time again, we have to hold them accountable. we need to put them in jail and keep them there.

7:18 am
well, i'm here to tell you the rumors are true. >> few people would have begrudged charles osgood had he decided to anchor just a little bit longer. after all, his program is the most watched news show on sunday morning with the best ratings in decades but osgood said it's time. >> for years now, people, friends, and family ask me why i keep doing this considering my age. i am pushing 84. it's just that it's been such a joy doing it. >> osgood is only the second person to anchor "cbs sunday morning" taking over for another cbs news legend, charles in 1994. >> we'll be in the good hands of charles osgood starting next sunday morning. >> i'm charles osgood and this is sunday morning. >> reporter: he won his audience over with his trademark bow ties, folksy style and way with words. >> much more satisfying with

fall. >> let's talk about immigration. trump's speech on wednesday, how has the recent confusion over his policy on illegal immigration affected his campaign? >> well, i think it's been a diversion. you know, this is not the issue that he wants to be talking about if he's reaching out to vote who are are in the middle who might be undecided. and i think it's created some problems with his core supporters, the sense that he's moving away from the idea of deporting the 11 million or 12 million people who are here illegally. so i think the campaign hopes to put this controversy, this confusion to rest in the speech wednesday. >> is it too little too late? >> i don't know, it is just 71 days to the election, so it is pretty late in the day to be explaining yourself on the issue that launched your candidacy 14 months ago. >> even, susan, as he was looking to stay on message with regard to the issues facing hillary clinton and the clinton foundation, if we looked into the clinton campaign's approach and really response, the candidate herself said there's a lot of smoke here, but there's
8:08 am
no fire. what to make of the optics right now? >> so far we don't know of anything that's illegal. we don't know even of anything that's unusual. these kind of outreaches are pretty customary for candidates running for office. but i think it does look unsavory to a lot of american voters. i think it's one of the things that makes americans suspicious of politics and politicians. it's one reason that bernie sanders did so well against hillary clinton, the sense this coziness of the powerful. >> and they've said they'll shut the foundation down if she wins. people are suggesting that that -- >> they won't shut it down. >> they'll step away, but in stepping away people suggest then you're acknowledging to a degree that there's an issue here. >> and if it was unacceptable, it was unacceptable as president to have bill clinton out there fund raising for the foundation, why not unacceptable when she was secretary of state? i think that's a fair question. >> the trump campaign announcing a $10 million buy in nine states, eight of those nine states mitt romney lost in the last election. i know you've looked at the ad
8:09 am
too. it's a strong economic message. >> this is exactly the message that republicans have been hoping to hear from donald trump from the beginning. it's a message of change versus more of the same. in the ad it says things are going badly, and they'll get worse with a president clinton. that is a pretty powerful message with an electorate. we know two of three americans say the country is going in the wrong direction, it's gotten off track. but donald trump has been unable to capitalize on those feelings because he's been made the issue himself one provocative statement after another has raised questions about his own qualifications and suitability for the office. >> and, i mean, this is your tenth presidential campaign. an ad like this is released, wouldn't the speech that's coming up have -- be on the same message as the ad that was just released? sort of hammering home a single message to try and get full coverage on that, and yet he's speaking about immigration, the ad's about the economy, is there some dissidence here? >> that is not what a
