we'll be back tomorrow with more. with all due respect starts 17 seconds later. >> with all due respect to hillary clinton, james comey had better material. >> his campaign said, let's sell off america's assets. where do we start? the statue of liberty? he wants to make america great again. maybe he should start by actually making things in

america again. we need to write a new chapter in the american dream and it sure cannot be chapter 11. >> oh, boy. spontaneous humor abounding. welcome to another day. this afternoon hillary clinton staged a rally beneath the fade sign of trump plaza. one of the shuttered casinos. later tonight, trump has a rally in cincinnati, ohio, where mark is now. we'll talk about both of those events. first a lot of focus has turned to how the republican party and its presumptive nominee are respondsing, that they will not

have criminal charges against hillary clinton, coupled with the wide ranging and scathing takedown of clinton's judgment and probity. the trump campaign and the republican national committee put out videos of comey today and perhaps the quick he was action to come out of congress in many many years. come 3 is being called to testify before the house oversight committee tomorrow. then next week, loretta lynch will do the same. today, house speaker paul ryan went so far as to say that clinton should be banned from the national security briefings that presidential nominees traditionally receive when they become party's standard bearers. >> i was on the ticket in 2012. after the convention, you get the full deep classified information as part of transition. part of being a nominee. i think the dni clapper should deny hillary clinton access to classified information during this campaign, given how she so

recklessly handled classified information. we have seen nothing but stone walling and dishonesty from secretary clinton on this issue. that means there are a lot more questions that need to be answered. >> mark, we will talk about donald trump momentarily. first let's look at republican leaders. they have as you know, bungled these inquiries before, over and over and over again. most recent when i the benghazi matter. politically speaking in your view, what would it take for republicans to succeed in prosecuting this case? >> if they want to make this politically effective, they'll have to perform significantly better than they can on benghazi and most other hearings that have had public policy and political motives. look, in cases like this, it is complicated but you have to do what's right. is there a public interest here? there is. what comey did was controversial. what clinton did was controversial. they need on find an area where there's a public interest. they need to do a fast

investigation. comey has little time to prepare. they have little time to prepare and they have to find a way to make the public and if they're lucky, some democrats join in the questioning of, was this done in the public interests? >> i will tell you that i think that on every level, theoretically speaking, a hearing by the house oversight committee with james comey could be a useful exercise in theory. but a snap hearing called one day for the next day, given the way house republicans have generally hand these mat where's they've had months to prepare, millions of dollars to spend. given how well they've done on those kinds of inquiries in the past, the idea that they'll conduct a useful hearing, either politically or in the public interest on this short notice strikes me as highly implausible. >> you are right to be skeptical. i agree with you. it is an interesting decision on their part to do it so quickly. but there are a lot of

questions. bernie sanders is critical of hillary clinton's e-mails. he was today. i've not heard a single other democrat raise any questions. republicans again, if they're fg to be politically success envelop undermining comey's decision, in piggybacking off the verbal indictment, they'll have to find a way to get reporters to ask democrats. which we should be doing anyway. what is about it what hillary clinton did that troubles you in the wake of what comey said in. >> all right. let's move on. the trump campaign is also naturally attempting to capitalize on the fbi's rebuke. one of the biggest obstacles, at least might be, donald j. trump himself. last night at his rally in raleigh, north carolina, where mark was, trump devoted portions of his speech to comey's broad side and the hacking of a recommendation of an indictment. as trump often does, he also

wandered off message. and in some cases, way off message. >> hillary clinton can't keep her e-mails safe and you know what, folks? she sure as hell cannot keep our country safe. can't do it. we're talking about the safety of our people. the laws are very explicit. stupidity is not a reason that you're going to be innocent. she went to extraordinary lengths to carry out an enron style purge of her e-mails. i think the one with the most to lose is bernie sanders. he just lost today the fbi primary. she's crooked hillary. don't you understand that? we need unity in the republican party. we need real unity. and the leaders have to get supportive. if they tone get supportive, we're going on win anyway, don't worry about it. saddam hussein was a bad guy. you know what he did well? he killed terrorists. did he that so good. they didn't read him the rights.

they didn't talk. they were terrorists. it was over. >> so, trump there, we just showed you some decent, or pretty good occasionally, little edited focus on the fbi decision. he also made comment about saddam hussein and a lot of other comments over the course of a 66-minute speech. the saddam thing has gotten as much if not more attention than the stuff about hillary. so mark, is trump seizing this moment, or wasting a valuable, maybe even invaluable opportunity? >> the good lines were good last night. listening to trump and talking on some of his senior aides, i think they have a pretty good handle in uniting the republican party and harvesting the best stuff from comey to make this an issue. at the same time, his pro penalty at this to do things the media ask his critics pick up on

is still there. sweepstakes are coming. the convention is coming. i don't know that trump will milk this forever. with his story still alive, he will be better off making this more of a central pete. when he gets here a little bit. how much he talks about hillary clinton. you he has that message. but i think that trump's campaign has done a decent job but could have done a better job on this. >> this a dear friend of mine, nicole wallace, said this was a golden opportunity for trump. all he had to do was get throughout and talk for with ten minutes on this one topic and he could have scored a political home run. instead, 66 minutes and this thing about saddam hussein. which isn't just something that the media or his critics so-called would seize on. but an insane thing to say and insane to be talking about, and totally detrimental to his own interests. we'll wait and see what happens tonight. last night, boy, given the ball

that was placed on the tee and what he could have done with it and what he actually did with it. i don't think did he very well last night at all. >> nicole is not here but i hope she's watching. nicole wallace who wrote a piece for the new york times said trump isn't going to change. no way would he come out and do a focused ten minutes. i think they have a pretty good handle on the politics of this. they just need to execute. >> he should still stop saying stupid stuff about saddam hussein if he knows what's good for him. like everybody else in the political world, hillary clinton and her campaign talked about everything but her e-mail issue. would it among other things make enstate college tigs free, for families under $125 a year. this afternoon, clinton staged a rally. as i said before, one of the shuttered casinos in atlantic city and she announce that had donald's business practices and

a wide going way. we'll talk more about that later. for right now, broadly speaking. how do you think the clinton campaign is doing at this moment, handling the political fallout. obviously the legal situation, a total win for. they political fallout from what comey said? >> the clinton team made up of some veterans like sharon mills, some like brian, my hats off to them of they know how to may scandal and controversy politics. they know where the vulnerabilities are. she is avoiding questions. i think they'll see how come dhae does on the hill tomorrow. they know how to play this game well and they're playing with it a pretty weak hand, given what document dh comey. . i think they're playing hard ball politics. eventually hillary clinton will have to answer questions. and that will be uncomfortable and difficult. >> you know, i'll tell you. this this will delight you.

when i was in atlantic city, i was talking with your friend and mine, she cited haley barber. she said one of the thing i've learned in 20 years of politics is that nothing is ever as good as it seems and nothing is as bad as it seems. yesterday, comey's decision seemed like the good news for us but i knew there would be a tick of the clock and we would have to deal with the negative stuff. they are very even keeled about it. they are playing in some ways a politically weak hand. they're very calm, cool and collected. they spoke to me with great confidence with the fact because of the way they would go after him and what they think comey will say tomorrow in that hearing, they think they'll be better off tomorrow than they are today at this time. >> they were shot at and they were not killed and that's a freight thing that politics and in life. nothing more exhilarating, i think the quote is.

they have now survived. and believe me, even if the republican and the house have a miracle tomorrow and they're totally ready and they do a great job. they will be up against formidable adversaries. team clinton knows how to do these political politics. >> and they know how to do it. they've demonstrated a lot better than anyone on capitol hill. some potential candidates for trump said thanks but no thanks. [burke] hot dog.seen it.covered it.

we know a thing or two because we've seen a thing or two. ♪ we are farmers. bum-pa-dum, bum-bum-bum-bum ♪

earlier today before i got to the city of brotherly love, i was in new york city. hillary clinton spoke in front of the so-called boardwalk hall which is just next door to the old trump plaza casino and hotel. she used that as a prop while describing trump's real estate dealings and bankruptcies in atlantic city.

>> now, it is no secret that atlantic city has gone through some tough times. >> instead of holding his coat, maybe we could really get new jersey's economy moving again. donald trump doesn't think going bankrupt is a big deal. but it's devastating if you're someone who plays by the rules. what he did here in atlantic city is exactly what he will do if he wents in november. step one. give a huge tax cut to millionaires like himself. step two, add trillions to our national debt. step three, he suggested we could just default on our national debt like he defaulted on his business debt.

it is the same scam over and over again and make no mistake, he is not asking for forgiveness. he is just hoping we forget. >> trump started defending himself even before clinton spoke. putting the blame for his casino's troubles in atlantic city on elected officials. this morning he tweeted, even the once great caesar's is bankrupt. others to follow. ask the city council what happened to atlantic city. then after clinton's remarks, trump continued his argument on fox news phoner style. in some press releases and other places where he talked about how much money he made even despite clinton's critique. so clinton has attacked trump for his business record in the past. was this time any different or any more effective? >> it will be less effective because the comey story is in

play. the press is hugely sympathetic to this story line that trump has hurt the little guy and the little gal in his business. there is a lot of stories that are factual. trump is rebutting them in a sporadic way. there is not a full throat effort. it will never be from surrogates because this affects his personal business. this is a very potent line. today was just a template. this is one where the trump campaign may be underagreeing the degree to which the press will eat these stories up and they need to be rebutted in some way or hillary clinton will get some mileage out of them. >> the staging of this was very strong because of the faded signage of trump plaza behind her. the real life person who was supposed to be a victim of trump's business, shady business dealings, the bankruptcy, was not that strong on stage. i'm not sure how much that will matter. the whole thing had a feel of george herbert walker bush going on boston harbor to take on mike

dukakis over not cleaning up the boston harbor in 1988. i will say to your opponent. i think trump put on a statement right after the event where he defended his use of the bankruptcy laws again. he said that's what they're there for. and then boasted creating thousands of jobs and making a lot of money in atlantic city. i think there is something romney-like. he is only in it for himself. he is not in it for you. that is a really devastating frame if they can make it stick. >> i am reluctant to say so and so is getting under so and so's skin. i think on this issue, donald trump is sensitive about his business record and hillary clinton personally knows. this it is a real threat to him unless he figures out a way to push back with forgetiveness. >> yesterday, we talked about the veep state.

that state has changed a little. after spending the day with donald trump in north carolina yesterday, tennessee senator bob corker, chairman of the senate foreign relations committee, told "washington post" today that he is withdrawing his name from vp consideration on trump's ticket because he is not suited for the job of political attack dog. iowa senator joni ernst who met with trump over the weekend also pretty much backed out. she told politico that she'll try to help trump win in november but probably not. she was not definitive but probably not as his number two. so given those with big names, recently floated, sort of deflated. where stands the donald's vp decision? >> well, he told fox today the list is up to 12 including two generals. that's a deviation from his previous position that he wanted someone who could knew washington well. i don't have any idea. i ten to say as i've that, i

think there may be someone on the list, maybe someone who has been there all along who they have in their back pocket. i continue to be assured by senior trump officials. he will pick someone who is seen as unambiguously qualified to be president. if he does that, i think it is a winning pick no matter who it is. >> you made the point that it is sort of crazy that trump's short list is expanding. even with people dropping out. the list continues to grow. there is now 12 on it. the list is getting longer. it is not just a funny point nike. it puts extraordinary pressure, the head of the vetting team. if he is going to start introducing secret names, late stage names, closer and closer to the deadline. it puts huge pressure on the vetters. we know what happened with sarah palin eight years ago under those circumstances. trump is courting that danger again. >> unless the whole thing is

just a show, trump is a master showman. he may have had someone in mine for a while and he is growing the list, shenking the list, floating different names. the difference is, trump doesn't need to hype things. he'll get a hot of interest no matter what he does. so i'm not sure this is a reassuring thing. in the end, all the sound and fury means nothing. the day he answers, if it is someone who is qualified, great. if not, look out. >> i agree with you. there is something in my gut. i don't know what it is. i think that trump would love to shock the world. he would love to do the mohammed ali thing. touted people, noted all kinds of names and then someone no one had been expecting. i think he would love that kind of a shock. and i don't know who it will be but i think it could be someone

like that. >> coming up, we'll have the form he u.s. attorney general to break down the fbi's recommendation and hillary clinton investigation of her e-mails. talk about all that with him. of many medications. but it can also lead to tooth cay and bad breath. that's why there's biotene, available as an oral rinse, toothpaste, spray or gel. biotene can provide soothing relief and it helps keep your mouth healthy too. remember, while your medication is doing you good, a dry mouth isn't. biotene, for people who suffer from a dry mouth.

there is been a great deal of discussion about james comey's decision yesterday. joining us now from nashville to

give his take, alberto gonzalez, mr. attorney general, good you have to. james comey was your deputy when you were attorney general. just give us a quick assessment of him as a lawyer, investigator, and in terms of his ethics and prudence. >> that's a hot there. i can't really speak to his investigative skills. obviously as the deputy attorney general, that's not your job to do investigations. your job is to make charging decisions and decisions related to prosecutions. i know jim is a hard worker and i honor his professional high of in this country. >> you don't have any sense about, that he has any kind of political motivation in terms of how he handles his business as a lawyer, right? >> no. but i think what is going on with respect to his press conference yesterday really relates to perhaps his judgment.

i was really surprised by the comment he made, that no reasonable prosecutor would charge this case. because that is not his job, to make that kind of assessment. his job as fbi director is to do an investigation and present the evidence to the prosecutors. in this case, ultimately the attorney general of the united states. i think by making that statement, what he is doing is challenging anyone who disagrees with him and accusing them of being unreasonable. so if the attorney general of the united states decides to go ahead and prosecute this case, i think what he has said is that would be unreasonable. i think that's unfortunate. that is the they know that really troubled me about yesterday's press conference. i can't speak to whether or not his judgment is right on the evidence. i haven't examined the evidence. that one statement really was kind of interesting. >> how unusual is it for someone in his position to make that kind of statement?

he know you disagree with it. do you consider it way outside the norm in such a situation? >> yes. it is one thing. if write the attorney general and someone of jim's experience as the fbi director and have done an investigation, i would quietly want to know, what do you think? do you think there's enough here to charge? that is something that would be a private conversation. for him to publicly say no reasonable prosecutor would charge this case is an attempt to lock in the attorney general. and i think it is very, very unfortunate. >> all right. we'll keep this conversation going right after a quick break. to do one thing & another. only at&t has the network, people, and partners to help companies be... local & global. open & secure. because no one knows &

like at&t. [so i use quickbooks and run my entire business from the cloud. i keep an eye on sales and expenses from anywhere. even down here in the dark i can still see we're having a great month. and celebrate accordingly. i run on quickbooks.that's how i own it.

pretty much over. show's (friend) wish we could start it from the beginning. (jon bon jovi) with directv, you can. you see, we've got the power to turn back time let's start over, let's rewind and let's go back and not quit the gym and have a chance to say goodbye to grampy tim oh, that's the power to turn back time. (vo) get the ultimate all-included bundle. call 1-800-directv.

and we're back with former attorney general alberto gonzales. i know you said you don't want to say, knowing the limitations about the case, whether hillary

clinton should have been indicted or not. what more, given the thoroughness of his press conference, mr. comey, that is, what more would you need to know to reach a could not choogs about whether or not an indictment is warranted? >> i would not make this decision based on a 15-minute press conference. i would like to look at what the investigators looked at. to look at other cases and what the department has done in previous cases and the circumstances of those cases. there would be a lot more work to be comfortable with it. it involves someone running for president of the united states. you want to get this absolutely right. so i would be shooting off the cuff here if i just said, based on what he said, this is what i would do. i don't think that's right. >> right. one of the thing mr. comey liened in on, that he couldn't

find intent. intent seemed to be a big part of it. there was those who point to the law and said intent isn't necessary. that gross negligence is what is applicable. what do you understand the appropriate standard to be under the laws that govern in this matter. >> it depends on the statute in question. in some cases, specific intent is required. in other cases it is not. for example, the standard of gross negligence wouldn't necessarily require a finding of specifying intent. so it will depend upon the statutes looked at. and what the attorney general should be doing from my perspective is looking at those statutes and the evidence presented by the fbi director and making her own independent judgment as to who are not to move forward with the prosecution. she is not bound by what anything gym comey said yesterday. she is not wound by his

recommendation. her job discharging her oath of office is to look to see who are not the evidence supports indictment in this particular case. >> let me ask you. just from the standpoint of appearances. the decision of director comey to come forward and held to press conference on the day that hillary clinton was first hitting the campaign trail with president obama. that has come under some question from a variety of sources. put us in the mind of jim comey. what would make him decide to do this on a day when he knew that event was whapg secretary clinton and president obama later in the day. do you think that's appropriate? >> i don't think that affected his decision. i don't know the factors that mr. comey weighed in deciding that yesterday was the day he would make this announcement, quite frankly. what i find a little bit surprising, what is very unique is for the fbi director to have a public press conference and

announce the findings before even making the recommendation to the attorney general. i think he indicated that no one outside of himself knew what he would say which tells me that he had not even told the attorney general his recommendation. that is very unusual, for him to publicly inform the world, this is what my recommendation will be without informing his boss. that i find very unique and unusual and i would be interested to find out why he felt he had to do that. but i can't think of a reason why the announcement yesterday was in any way affected by the fact hillary clinton would be campaigning with president obama. >> but do you not think that given that he knew, that the prudence, was it not politically imprudent to have it on that date? >> no. it could be that mr. comey believed that he had made the decision.

he knew what he would be recommending and he wanted to get it out this as quickly as possible. as far as possible from the convention. as far as possible from the election. and it was a situation that he was ready to go and he wanted to make the announcement. >> all right. alberto gonzales. thank you for doing this today, sir. when we come back, we walk down the boardwalk and talk board talk in atlantic city, new jersey. right after this. nage my sympto. i thought i had it covered. then i realized managing was all i was doing. when i finally told my doctor, he said humira was for peoe like me who have tried other medications,... but still experience the symptoms of moderate to severe crohn's disease. but still experience the in clinical studies, the majority of patients on humira saw significant symptom relief... ..nd many achieved remission. humira can lower your ability to fight infections... serious, sometimes fatal infections and cancers,... including lymphomahave happened; as have blood, liver, and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions,...

...and new or worsening heart failure. before treatment, get tested for tb. tell your doctor if you've been to areas where certain fungal infections are common, and if you've had tb,... ...hepatitis b, are prone to infectns, ...or ve flu-like symptoms or sores. don't start humira if you have an infection. if you're still st managin your symptoms, ask your gastroenterologist about humira. with humira, remission is possible.

>> liar. hypocrite. >> smart. >> fabulous. >> secretive. >> and donald trump? >> very helpful. >> oh. >> persistent. >> unqualified. >> unelectable. >> straightforward. >> fraud. >> opportunist. >> stupid. >> shifty. >> aggressive. >> fresh. >> mean. >> arrogant.

arrogant. >> joke. >> torn. i'm torn. >> and hillary clinton. >> questionable. >> how about bernie sanders? >> inspirational. >> some of the sights and sounds and opinions in atlantic city today around hillary clinton's event. not surprising maybe they tilt it more in her direction but varied views. good evening. breaking news. donald trump and newt gingrich. trump criticizing clinton. let's listen. >> we say lie. lie, lie, lie. lie. dirty rotten liar. right? hillary said her private server -- that's what it is. i'll tell you something, folks.

do you know when it will be set straight? in november, you'll get out and vote. because when you look at terrorism, when you look at her decisions, when you look at the fact that she has got such bad decision making ability, when you look at what's gone on in obama years. look at what's gone on with islamic terrorism. we have a president and her, except i short of shamed her into it. just like shamed her into not approving tpp. if she ever wants to prove that so fast. that will do worse to you than what nafta did to you. she has bad judgment. do you know who said that? bernie sanders. that hillary clinton has bad judgment. and number one, it's illegal what she did here but also bad judgment. most of the people here know.

why false statement number four. hillary clinton said her private server is secure with numerous safeguards. they had no security breaches. no security breaches. now they're saying everybody, you know, does anybody have her information? do you know what's interesting, i've always heard that once an e-mail gets sent, it is always out. you can never -- you can really never wipe it out. i don't think anybody has looked too hard. when you wipe out 30,000 e-mails. i hear 33,000. i hear two number, 30 and these. pick your choice. when you wipe out 30,000 e-mails. i've heard, there's no way of really expunging those e-mails. you can't get rid of them. they're always with you if you have the right people looking. there are probably a couple who are super geniuses in this room who would know how to find those 30,000 e-mails. i don't think they looked too

hard. does that make sense to anybody? i've always heard you just can't get rid of them. the fbi director said, it is possible that actors gained access to hillary's personal e-mail account and said she used her insecure e-mail account and the e-mail while traveling abroad in territory of sophisticated, and these are highly sophisticated, adversaries. the fbi said hackers successfully breached the e-mail accounts of hillary's friends. they're friends. some friends. our enemies likely have a blackmail file on her. which actually should disqualify her for even running for office. right? and then in her toast congress, hillary clinton said, her

attorneys conducted a rigorous review of her e-mails and said, they went through every single e-mail. but the fact is, the fbi director said, the lawyers doing sorting for secretary clinton in 2014 did not individually read the content of all of her e-mails before destroying them. what's going on, folks? i mean, it's very sad. more. it's more. but you know, we have a crooked system. we have a rigged system. we have a dishonest press. let me tell you. i was in north carolina last night. i have to say. i just love doing it. thank you. i love you too, man. it's a guy but i love him. i love everybody here. i don't care.

i don't care. we have a rigged system. we have a crooked system. i was -- talk about the press, okay? i love talking about how dishonest they are. you're a republican, you're a conservative. and i've heard it for years but i had no idea. when i was running and bing, bing, bing, knocking out one after another. right? am i doing a good job for you folks? i'm knocking out one after another. so i'm out running. it was bad. they had 17 people that basically, they didn't like too much. me they liked the least by far. by far. and they hate you. but now it's all toward me. and i watch. and i say things like, there is a guy on "meet the press" called sleepy eyes chuck todd. anybody ever -- the guy was dying on "meet the press" a year ago, a while ago.

nobody watching. then what happened was he called me and he wanted me to do an interview. and i did it. and it was one of the highest rated interviews in the history of "meet the press." but these are disloyal people. after about two days he forgot about it. and then he did a little more. and "meet the press" does fine now. i'm not going to do any more interviews with them. i watched. so i watched like yesterday. and i made the statement, to the effect. i was talking about terrorism. and i said, saddam hussein is a bad man. you heard this. right? you heard this. he is a bad man. now, they wanted me to talk less. i spoke for 106 minutes. a long time without notes, without papers, without anything, standing up in front of four or five networks that are going. so i'm not reading.

teleprompters, a lot easier. let somebody come up and do what i do. of course, i would have about 12 people instead of 7,000 people. but i said, very simple. i said, saddam hussein is a bad man. bad guy. i said it they have or four times. really bad. because i know what they're going to do. but one thing he's good at. they said this last night. they wanted me to talk about hillary for hours. i did the whole thing. she's crooked hillary. she's crooked as hell. it's unbelievable. so after a while we want to talk with terrorism. right? >> what difference does it make?

>> it makes a big difference. what difference does it make? remember the famous statement, the green dress. green dress? yeah. green dress. no. she said green pant suit. so last night i said. it was an unbelievable crowd in north carolina. standing ohations all over the place. but i said bad guy, saddam hussein. bad guy. then i said again, saddam hussein is a bad guy. but he did one thing right. he killed terrorists. right? that's okay. just a quick statement. but i wanted to emphasize. because i know if i didn't emphasize, they would say i like saddam hussein. so i said it three times. bad, bad, bad. i don't like that. people are going on say, is that

guy okay? so what happened, i said it very badly, bad person. now it's over. we talked about terrorism. we talked about trade. we talked about terminating obamacare and replacing with it something which we're going to. we talked about getting rid of common core and bringing our education locally. we talked about voters. we talked about building a wall. right? we talked about our depleted military, right? we talked about our very deplete military. we're going to build a wall. don't worry about it. a real wall. such a low ceiling. we're going a lot higher than that. and every time they fight us on that wall, it gets ten feet

higher. we're going to stop the drugs from coming in. in case you didn't know. the border patrol agent. 16,500 border patrol agents support me. when they're with me, they're going to be working hard. right now they stand there and say go on through. hello. go on through. welcome to the country. we'll take care of you the rest of your high of. and sheriff joe. we love sheriff joe. endorsed me right at the beginning. right at the beginning. so we have a situation, right? where we go on. and we continue to go on and we continue to make speeches and we continue to waste time. the politicians aren't listening, right? but i made a speech.

and this speech last night was good. what happened? i wake up in the morning. and you had to see this crowd. the crowd was unbelievable. i wake up the question and turn on the television. donald trump loves saddam hussein. he loves saddam hussein. and i was just asked the question by the cincinnati inquirer, many trump, is it true you like saddam hussein? i said that's not what i said. that's not what i said. so that's the narrative. i put a press release out. now the people who saw it say that was great. but they are liars. these are bad people. these are bad people. and what did i say, and what did i say is that he was good at one thing. he was really good at killing terrorists. he didn't wait around. do you think they gave terrorists trials that lasted 18

years? and then after 18 years, if they have the right lawyer, they erect a statue for the terrorists. not with trump will i said really bad guy. but he was good at one thing. he killed terrorists. next day, donald trump loves saddam hussein. i don't love saddam hussein. i hate saddam hussein. but he was damn good at killing terrorists. now terrorists, people that want to be terrorists, they go into iraq. and i said last night. it is the harvard, the harvard university, it is the harvard of terrorism. that's where you want to learn to be a terrorist, you go to iraq. before, boom, you're a terrorist. boom. look at the problems right now. we are a very unsafe nation. we are allowing people to pour into our country. we have no idea who they are.

by the way, i have a bigger heart than anybody. we'll work with them and i'll get other people to put up the money. we owe $19 trill. now with the kind of budgets get passed in this country. we're going to $21 trillion. we don't have the money but i'll guest the gulf states to put up the money and we'll supervise it and we will build wonderful, as wonderful as it can be, in syria, safe havens. we'll build safe havens. we don't want them here. we don't want them here. they're moving people into ohio that you don't even know about. they're moving people into ohio that very well, this could be one of the great trojan horses of all time. they're moving people into ohio like nobody has ever seen.

you don't know and your government officials don't know and nobody knows what the hell is happening to our country and we have a president that won't issue the words, radical islamic terrorism and it is a real problem. a real problem. if you don't say what the problem is, you're never going to solve the problem. right? so i want these media people. very dishonest people of i get these standing ovations. it was on all three. i think it was on fox live and fox was very nice to me. i must say. it was a fox live. on cnn live. cnn is terrible to me. terrible. they're dishonest. did you ever see it where they have like seven people. and i'll have jeffrey. but i don't watch it anymore. in high of, when you don't like

something. when manage is unpleasant. don't watch it. when people treat you unfairly, turn your pack and go some place else. or knock them on their ass. one or the other. cnn over the weekend, i'll give you an example. one of my guys who is married to a jewish woman. this is a very fine person. dan, he put out a tweet. talking about crooked hillary clinton. and on the tweet was a star. a star. like a star. and i said, when i looked at i. i didn't think anything. all of a sudden it turned out to be in the minds of the press only, it could have been a sheriff's star. it could have been a regular star. my boy comes home.

he draws stars all over the place. i never said that is a star of david. it is a star. have you seen this? and it looks like a sheriff's star. behind it they had money. there's money behind it. so they're racially profiling. not us. why are they bringing this up is this why do they bring it up? so anyway, dan is a wonderful guy. a really good guy. i said that's a star. don't worry about it. cnn from morning to night. bigger than the fbi with clinton crooked as a you know what. all weekend, cnn dishonest as hell. cnn, morning to night. i have tweets saying cnn. won't talk about anything but the star. they say it is the star of

david. i have a son-in-law who is jewish. a great guy. my daughter is jewish. i have grandchildren who is jewish. and i love them. evanka player aid jewish guy who is brilliant, wonderful, who has a great heart. they have kids. beautiful kids. so they took this star. could have been a star for anything. to me it was just a star. when i really looked, it looked like a sheriff's star. cnn started this dialogue going, it is the star of david. and because it is the star of david, donald trump has racist -- these people are sick. i'm telling you. someday i'll tell you the real story of cnn but i won't tell it

yet. i have to say, fox is tough on me. at least they're fair. they're tough but fair. and ms -- nobody watches msnbc. nobody watches it. i hear they're better than cnn. they call cnn the clinton news network. think of this. seriously. so the star this is a star. not the star of david. when they told never star of david, i said you have to be kidding. how sick are they? they're the ones with the bad tendencies. remember what i said. but there is money around the stars. and therefore, you know what that e's are point don't watch

cnn anymore. i don't watch it anymore. i like anderson cooper. i like a couple of the people. but mostly it is just negative. they sit around the table and talk badly about donald trump. it is very interesting. we started off with 17. here i am. you and me and look what we've done together. right? so we have dishonest media. so think of that. the star, which is fine. i said you should not have taken it down. they took it down. too bad. you should have left it up. he would think raf defended it. leave it up. she sent it out. she's the one who started the dialogue. you know what? she wanted to get off the fbi. do you know who got hurt worse by the fbi than anybody?

bernie sanders. he was waiting for the fbi to make him the nominee and it didn't work out. and he is the other one. he copied my language a little bit but he was starting to sway the super delegates that the system was rigged. and they're doing polls. 22% of the bernie sanders voters are coming to trump. i don't know. who knows. and we're having a good time. the other thing i got criticized last night. i i thought it was one of the better speeches. do i give good speeches? i thought it was one of the better speeches. the place was packed. they never show how many people. can you imagine if i ever had an empty place? it would be the biggest story in the history of the news business. the place was packed.

everybody is having a good time. considering the sub is no good. it is about our country. our country is in trouble. with the phony 5% numbers you hear about unmoment, it is a phony number. a number that, with somebody looks for a job. you may be embarrassed. i would be embarrassed. somebody looks for a job. they give up. they're great people of they have worked all their lives. they can't find a job and they give up. now they're considered statistically employed. so we show this phony number. and on that i don't blame obama so much. this was to make presidents look good and make politicians look good, which is not an easy they know to do. they want to show how economy the economy. so as i was getting off the plane today we announced trade
