that's it for "the last word." >> getting nasty. let's play "hardball." good evening. it looks like donald trump is training for the javelin. once the olympics are over, he is gearing up to start throwing thunderbolts like a 21 century jupiter. today he made cheer there will be no more mr. nice guy. not that he's been one of much before with the recruitment of kellane conway. from here on out trump's cane will be a bare knuckles ball with full blown populism politics. well, paul manafort will remain

his campaign children but it is reported, the opportunitying decision today effectively ended the months lg push by campaign chairman manafort. so at breitbart, stephen bannon had a reputation for picking fights, most importantly with hillary clinton. a lengthy profile called him the most dangerous political operative in america and now he will be running the trump show. same with kellyanne. she has a practiced ability to shift from defense to offense quite quickly. always ready to land a big one on hillary clinton. >> i feel great about our position. i think we'll start doing at this time next few days. i think we have some pretty good adds. and we'll see what happens. >> for more on the trump campaign shake-up. this political analyst, for the

"washington post." let's to go katy tur right now. you've just been with kellyanne conway. what do they say about the power move? the move toward nasty, i would say. >> she is saying donald trump will be donald trump and he will continue doing what he has been doing. which is appeal to working the rank and file voters in this country. not necessarily the establishment. as you say, she is very adept at quickly going from defense to offense so she turned her argument around to hillary clinton repeatedly. i can tell that you there are gop operatives calling this a last-ditch effort. trump turning darker toward the anti-establishment message. part of his campaign. sources tell us he has been unhappy for quite some time tunneled leadership of manafort. that he has been told to control himself.

to not be the man who won the primaries. he is also feeling like he knows better than everybody else and that's why this change happened. manafort is in no way gone from the campaign. we are told he will focus more on washington. they call her a calming presence for donald trump. somebody who can tell him no if he needs to hear no and then there is bannon who will be in charge of the punching points. not the talking points. we've seen as you mentioned, at breitbart. they've taken up trump's mantle. they've helped fight his wars. going after paul ryan when donald trump is not necessarily getting along with paul ryan. going after hillary clinton's health with that becomes a talking point. they have been trying to push. it shblt come as a surprise but it is eye opening and worrisome

for some in the establishment for those other believe he won't champion their causes. i am told by a gop sporss bannon realizes that. he called the rnc yesterday and assured them he would not go after the republicans. there's some wariness. >> the let me go now to robert costa. what will we see? based upon what happened today? are we going to see headlines in the next couple days and weeks that had to do with populism and make america strong again and jobs and screw the bad trade deals some are we getting a message now or shots at hillary? my belief, shots at hillary are redundant. everybody who hates her already hates her. if you want to go up, you have to do what you did at the

beginning sthfl guy, breitbart's bannon, is kelly going to do it in. >> conway and brannon bring certain at rebeauties. bannon is known as someone who can rearticulate these themes. he is someone who embraced sarah palin. he sees the anti-corporate message as the key to the future. he has been whispering that counsel in the past year. go heavy on trade, illegal on immigration, conway is trying to pitch himself to we will. in the south carolina, ohio. he wants to win over those female voters to have a shot. >> let me go to you. i watched ronald reagan come out and win an election.

he talked about the economy and how we have to be stronger against iranians and it worked. he stayed on message. trump doesn't. he had a really good campaign message which is, we're getting pushed around. i'm going to push back. that worked with a lot of regular people. not just working people. for the last three or four weeks, it has been a crazy boomerang stuff. he gets hit. >> he doesn't stay on message. it is not the things that he wants to stay on message about. he has no interest in sitting down and studying briefing. >> just talking like huey long. nationalism. >> i don't think that this particular change is going to signal a pivot to that by any means. if somebody was going to do that. it would have been a campaign manager. this signals, like he said, more nationalistic some of the things

we've seen on the bright b.a.r.t. site. doubling down. >> you dance with the one that brung you in politics. what brought him was nationalism. stopping the loss of american jobs overseas to china and mexico. and stopping stupid wars. those were cheer cut messages to working people. a thehoff middle which is a people said why don't we friday? and then he started acting like a goof again. you're the guy out there i listen to. can he stay on bheg this new team? or is it going to be this boomerang stuff in. >> he is comfortable with this new team. he has personal chemistry. known him for years. he knows ban often bannon speaks to him. so for the next 80 days, he is with people he likes. people he is comfortable with. and he will be this day in and day out. telling him to go heavy on the economy. on populism.

>> the clinton campaign pounced on the news. and the campaign manager said donald trump has dthded to double down on his most small, nasty and divisive instincts. >> i think it is fair to say that donald trump has shown us who he is. he can hire and fire anybody he wants from his campaign. they can make him read new words from a teleprompter but he is still the same man who insults gold star families. demeans women. mocks people with disabilities and thinks he knows more about isis than our generals. there is no new donald trump.

this is it. >> do you think trump is a better campaigner than hillary clinton at his best? >> clinton runs a more disciplined campaign. she has a message that she's honed over the past five, six months that is tailor made for a general election. when it comes the pure charisma and rally, when you're bringing on someone like bannon, he wants one big rally. the image of politics. when it comes to wing over the swing voters, clinton seems to be in a better position. >> that was a very controlled speech. she went through a couple points. she read them and had it organized. where's the wow? can she beat this guy without any charisma? >> here's the problem. i don't think that they're going to play a clean game here. i think that the personal stuff will get really nasty.

it will start flying from the trump campaign. and that i think the clinton campaign says she can note above it. she has lots of surrogates. >> they go after her with the stink bombs about monica lewinsky who she had nothing to do with it. she didn't have anything to do with perpetrating the lewinsky affair. >> look what they did this week. with raising questions about her, the state of her health. they'll to have respond to it. my personal opinion is that they have this awesome bench of surrogates. they're all these surrogates. they need street fighter at this point. they need someone like elizabeth warren to be out there giving the brass knuckles. as we all learned in the election, you can't just let some of this stuff sit. >> will that sit? the stuff that they keep hinting at? wink, wink? she has a health problem? >> when i talk to democrats on capitol hill, they're situation the addition of bannon in march, they wonder if this breitbart effect that's happening will trickle over to the republican party. maybe if you're pat toomey in pennsylvania. kelly ayotte. maybe the style of politics doesn't play. that's the democratic hope.

>> you can't may with the fisticuffs? this wild attack stuff in pennsylvania won't work for toomey? >> it rouses the working class voters in the pennsylvania team. if this will be won in the margins and swing states, they were skittish about it. it is whether he is electrifying beam the steve bannon politics at the suburbs. always because of tax bracket >> when i talk to democrats on capitol hill, they're situation the addition of bannon in march, they wonder if this breitbart effect that's happening will trickle over to the republican party. maybe if you're pat toomey in pennsylvania. kelly ayotte. maybe the style of politics doesn't play. that's the democratic hope. >> you can't may with the fisticuffs? this wild attack stuff in pennsylvania won't work for toomey? >> it rouses the working class voters in the pennsylvania team. if this will be won in the margins and swing states, they were skittish about it. it is whether he is electrifying beam the steve bannon politics at the end of the day for those suburban voters to come out and connect with that message. >> i think it is the woman in the suburbs. always because of tax bracket reasons. now he says i can't vote for him because of the way he treats

women. >> btss those suburban women of people like pat toomey and pat ayotte need to get reelected and the pressure that they'll be under to distinctly distance themselves. whether bannon and trump will have the self-control to stick to that and not to bleed down and attack their own. >> and conway matters. she is on the plane there trump. we all know covering donald trump. if you're next to donald trump, you're the most important person in trump's campaign. she wants to travel with him. >> it will be interesting to catch the nuances. hit hard high and low. how do you do night way that's not politically interested with you will vote? >> it's the words you use. how do you attack hillary

without attacking women? thank you, katy tur. still there, i believe. thank you. coming up, last week, donald trump was calling president obama ask hillary clinton, quote, the founders of isis. today, trump will learn what's going on in the real world behind closed doors for the first classified intelligence briefing. as the republican nominee for president, he has a right to it and he has gotten it today. plus, long time supporter montel williams is on tonight. a long time reporter. and back to our roundtable. a big shake-up at the top of the trump campaign. they're bringing in the bad guys. finally, let me finish with those two 500-meter race here's stopped to help each other. what an olympic moment that was.

new numbers on how donald trump and hillary clinton are faring in several battle ground states. in virginia, a new quinnipiac poll puts clinton up 12 points. clinton, 50, trump, 38. that's a big spread. in colorado, a 10-point margin. clinton at 49. trump at 39. in yeoh, clinton is up by 3. that is closer. watch yeoh. moving over to michigan. the new poll has clinton up 10. clinton, 49, trump, 39. and lastly, in indiana, the home state of mike pence, trump, 47-36. how was the briefing? >> back to "hardball." donald trump's adviser, michael

>> back to "hardball."

donald trump's adviser, michael flynn danieled the first classified intelligence beefing cynic trump became the presidential nominee. this morning trump said he did not trust the intelligence community do you trust intelligence? >> not so much from the people that have been doing it for our country. look what has happened over the last ten years. look what has happened over the years. it has been catastrophic. in fact, i won't use some of the people, just use them, use them. very easy to use them. i won't use them because they made such bad decisions. you look at iraq, the middle east. a total powder keg. if we would have never touched it. we would have been much better off. >> well, trump's democratic rival will be receiving a routine classified briefing as well. a senior adviser for the trump campaign and ron reagan is an

msnbc contributor. what do you think about now that he has this information in his head somewhere. he can't use it directly. >> i think it will be extremely importantist to. when he becomes president, it will be great to have this information to be ready to step into the oval office on day one. so these briefings are very important for him. and i think they will continue to provide information that is necessary once he's president. >> so part of what your intelligence for me is that you're letting me know trump has won the election. i love this intel i didn't expect to get from you. >> i'm their answer any questions. if your question is how will he use the information, the briefings as you know have been around from the 1950s. >> i understand. i think that's important to tell people. the reason they brief these candidates is not over they can tune up their message in the campaign.

should they win, they don't have to stop the start the second they get elected and start thinking about the big picture. ron, what do you think will be the influence? there's so much history here. nixon always blamed the ivy league eheat for telling about the bay of pigs coming. he could may the hawk against nixon. there is such a history of these briefings. >> both sides will get them. i imagine they will be somewhat different in that hillary clinton with her vast experience in foreign policy will be asking fairly pointed questions. donald trump, who doesn't know anything about anything, foreign policywise, will be getting caught up to speed in some general way about our intelligence capabilities. but there are concerns about donald trump and they have been voiced already, getting an intelligence briefing. many of the people in his campaign have deep connections to russia and pro russian

ukrainians. oh, yes, they do. are you going to deny paul manafort working for the russians? are you going to deny -- >> why doesn't he -- >> these concerns. are you going to -- >> he releases his tax returns. >> what do we know, boris, about the relationship between paul manafort and the russian republic and the party in the ukraine? >> we know that it is a lot of conjecture on the part of new york times and the ap. tony pod dloeft who has taken millions of dollars, from the largest russian -- >> steered will by paul manafort. >> and now let me finish. >> you get to interrupt -- >> if you, hillary clinton is the one that should have been fired as secretary of state according to director combey. so she is the one who broke rules, laws and regulations. >> did he say she should be fired?

did he say she should be fired? >> he said that she -- yes, he did. she should have been disciplined administratively and in terms of her job. which means she should have been fired. >> he didn't say that. >> you're denying here now that we're getting to. this boris, you're denying that mania fort worked for the party over he. >> hold on. paul manafort is well known to be a campaign manager for parties outside the united states of america. what i am denying is the conjecture that has been in the new york times. i'm not here to talk about him. i'm here the talk about donald trump. >> he is the cheryl of the trump campaign. he is relevant. he's the chairman. so paul manafort has worked in both the u.s. and abroad. that's very well known. >> the discussions we've had with donald trump. and i'll start with you.

i'm sure we'll quickly get to worse. donald trump doesn't understand certain things we've all grown up with. i think he has a great education in business. he doesn't know what deternls is. your dad hated it. it has been the doctrine of margaret half thor going back to trumanan. we've understood this. bits first strike. trump didn't seem to know that. when i asked about nuclear weapons in europe, i said conroll them out in europe? he said why do we have them? and he did the same thing with generals. he doesn't seem to understand basic knowledge, we have them not to use them. >> he doesn't understand all sorts of things. i have to say and i don't mean to detrail conversation in any way. i find it alarming and kind of december gusting that we're

talking about donald trump as in some way a legitimate political candidate for the presidency of the united states. >> but he is legitimate. >> legitimate in terms of getting the votes. he is not a legitimate person to be in the oval office. he is an absurdity. >> if a republican said that some other candidate is not legitimate, this building might spontaneously couple bust. >> i don't think so. >> 14 million people voted for donald trump. >> let me ask you. since you brought up 14 million people voting. do you think that the election is rge >> you're the one that said he is not a legitimate candidate. >> do you think it is rigged? your man does and he is saying it all over the country. >> he's saying if he doesn't get any votes in philadelphia -- >> slow down here. okay. ron, let's get back to the definition of deterrence. what's your definition of legitimacy?

>> you and i both know that donald trump has no business sitting in the oval office. it is a strain and i understand it. for journalists on television and print. we're used to covering presidential races where there are two credible candidates. you can disagree with them but you can see them sitting in the oval office. this is not one of those campaigns. on the democratic side, whatever you think of her and her policies, you have somebody who is credible. former senator. on the other hand you've got a drifter. >> there was another candidate. people said the same thing about in 1980. that was ronald reagan. you want to talk about someone who is not ready? hillary clinton has been a high of long liar and she should be in jail.

>> you'd better watch that language working for the guy you do. >> thank you so much. thank you, ron reagan. >> coming up -- i know where you stand, ron. i'm not kidding. the a strong supporter of john kasich. he will make some news here. he is coming here to discuss his decision. montel williams. the massive bluecut fire is burning out of control in san (lock clicks)

the former talk show host mont williams is here. he thu his support behind john kasich. with him out of the race, williams has kept silent about who he'll vote for until

tonight. he's here to tell us more about a decision, one he didn't make lightly. he writes, donald trump represents a clear is that present danger to our country. as much as i wish the system was not stacked against the libertarian ticket. that leaves clinton. she is the only choice and i will vote accordingly. montel, we just had a very passionate passion taken here by ron reagan taken against the trump guy. what is your passion leading you to? do you have passion for any of the candidates? >> i have passion, truly, against donald trump. i'm sorry to say it that way. the entire idea and concept of him being president of the united states. that's why i am speaking out.

i am a enthusiastically endorsing hillary clinton? i'm willing to say, i'm going to go inside that booth. push the button for her. that's the only clear choice to make sure that america can be lifted out of what i think is a very clear is that present danger. having, well, donald trump even in this race. >> i know a number of people like. some family members whose names i can't disclose. a lot of people are talking like that. they don't like the things trump has been saying. they are impediments. things you can't get past. for me, the things i get to that bug me. what he said to the khan family about the kid that was killed. i don't like that the kids of trump are out there killing wildlife. that's make not germane to at love people. i see them killing leopards. wait a minute.

killing in africa? what were yours? what were your impediments to voting for trump? >> youailed seral of them. the last two. the khan family debacle. when he had the absolute nerve to disparage and vilify a family, that to some way say they are undeserving because they happen to be muslim when he and none of his lineage has pout a uniform to talk about this country but he talks fast about being willing to send more boys off to die? the issues with the v.a. but he has zero man whatsoever? at least hillary is acknowledging several things that are clearly different from the way donald thinks. so therefore, maybe some of the things i kind of agree with. some of the things i don't. when i was in the military, i

was a special duty intelligence officer. i spent the majority of my time stationed at the national agency when i was not at sea. deployed on the surface of the ocean. working in cryptological special duty. i had some of the highest clearing this country has and i feel very responsible even now. to not even discuss what i did on active duty and i hardly ever do. so i have an issue with the e-mails. but my biggest issue right now with actually, enthusiastically endorsing mrs. clinton, is the fact she continues to deny the v.a. debacle. and this v.a. debacle. we have to get under control while everybody and her mother ongs a wednesday after this election, we're going to be faced with putting more troops on the ground and we haven't fulfilled our obligation to those who have served. >> we've had two president who's may not have been the most exciting but they've been did to held to office for a period of time.

gerry ford, for example. 9/11on getting pushed out of office. he came in and served us, i thought, honorably. maybe not in a direction many of us would have thought would be helpful. is it your fear how he would be there in the oval office on any given today and the power of that office? or is at this time direct you take us in? >> i agree with you. my fear is, today he had a security briefing. in the next few days he may blurt something out because somebody did something wrong and he may give up a national security secret. we know he has people in the campaign. you were talking about manafort and his connection. there's not a dictator out there that he hasn't fallen in love with and worked. >> taken money from is not the same as fallen in love with. >> well, people like marcos.

he took million dollars from marcos. >> good guys don't need p.r. it is the bad guys that have to spend millions of dollars to get their names off the front pages. >> i really feel listening to his rhetoric that wednesday after he is elected, there will be more troops on the ground and we haven't fulfilled the responsibility of those who have served. i think he is so dangerous and being able to say one thing that might incite another world war. world war i started because an ambassador was killed and the rhetoric picked up quickly. we need one false statement. >> ferdinand. the one i would pin on my chest about trump, why would you laugh about, or joke about second amendment people? and why would you think that is funny given our horrible history of assassination, going back to lincoln, garfield, reagan, kennedy.

malcolm x, bobby kennedy, martin luther king. the history of assassination in this country is unlike any in the world. >> the reason why, if you remember about a week and a half, two weeks ago, his ghost writer came on and was making the rounds. the one thing that stood out in his conversation to me. the he said, when i interviewed trump, the one thing he was so proud of. he said i'm the same person i was when i was 8 years old. guess. what that's what you're seeing now. an 8-year-old. one who doesn't want to learn anything. thinks they know everything. throws temper tantrums at the drop of a dime of won't even bother doing homework unless you sit on top of them. donald trump is the same 8-year-old when he wrote his book as he is today. >> it is like the kid in the back seat saying the sister made a face at me. she's on my side. kids like that should not be driving a car. thanks so much, montel williams.

coming up, trump's shake-up. can the businessman seal the deal? these are tough characters. they're enablers of the worst of trump. roundtable is coming up next.

with the new hires for donald trump at the top today, negative headlines and declining poll numbers for trump. the second staff shake-up since the form he campaign manager corey lewandowski was ousted in june. the "washington post" reports,

paul manafort will have a diminished role, i'm sure he loves hear that. it is in part a reversion to how he ran his campaign in the primaries with then campaign manager corey lewandowski. let trump be trump and he wants to get back to that. last night he told a local television reporter, he is not going to pivot as many had hoped. he doesn't like that word "pivot." >> i am who i am. it is me. everyone talks about, are you going on pivot? i don't want to pivot. you have to be you. if you start pivoting, you're not being honest with people. >> that's the line, i am what i am. i am joined by the round table. with the "boston globe." the singled indicated columnist with the "chicago tribune." and tom roggin with the national review. the great magazine which i grew up reading. what do you make of it? i know kelly. every time she come on here she knees hillary. no matter what i ask, it is right at hillary.

>> i think the real story was the local report he last night getting trump on the record saying he won't pivot. >> you mean he'll be the old trump. >> i don't buy into this idea that trump has fundamentally changed. >> don't you think, he has a straight jacket and he keeps trying to tate off. >> the press is the same. the hikes, the rebuffing against the campaign narrative coming out. the ideology of trump. so insulated. >> he's made so many stupid enemies. the "washington post," "the new york times." cnn. incoming manager kellyanne conway suggests that he manls to make up his deficit with male voters.

>> hillary clinton has reverse gender gap. she is doing so poorly with men. they don't like her. they don't trust her and they don't want her to be president of the united states and commander in chief. >> speaking for men, men hate hillary. that i think is a simple statement. i'm not sure it is true in the large. >> i can speak for the whole gender. democrats haven't gotten a majority of white males for many years and trump has used up that entire resource as far as his base is concerned. he thinks he is doing great. when he perform before large crowds, they cheer. >> the hating hillary crowd is already aboard. >> he needs to reach out. if he knew something about campaigning, he would be dangerous. but he knows nothing and refuses to listen to something from people you're talking kellyanne. >> like the someone who wants to fight in any barroom. it doesn't do any good to kick hillary. he has to kick the people who made us weak and say i'll make this country strong again. it's the brexit vote. >> the democrats have made it a lot. the captain khan issue matters a lot. you speak to military people. they know, that guy, they love trump. when trump starts attack someone who to them is very obviously part of their conservative institution. the military. >> why did he do it? >> i said six months ago. i think he is a sociopath. >> i know everyone is throwing

out those words for tv. >> this why he will bring back >> i think that's why this is a pretty good move for donald trump. he has brought on two people who have great skill sets to get him back to that great message that you're talking about. kellyanne. >> like the someone who wants to fight in any barroom. it doesn't do any good to kick hillary. he has to kick the people who made us weak and say i'll make this country strong again. it's the brexit vote. >> the democrats have made it a lot. the captain khan issue matters a lot. you speak to military people. they know, that guy, they love trump. when trump starts attack someone who to them is very obviously part of their conservative

institution. the military. >> why did he do it? >> i said six months ago. i think he is a sociopath. >> i know everyone is throwing out those words for tv. >> this why he will bring back the message. >> we have to talk about john mclaughlin. we have to do this tonight. this is place for politics.

for an all access pass to "hardball," follow show online. like us on facebook and follow us on twitter and instagram. you'll find photos from our road trips and the best analysis of this race for 2016. we'll be right back. it was a transition from 50

it was a transition from 50 years of men who served in world war ii, in one capacity or other, whole sold nostalgia as bread and butter.

he's selling adventure. this is our time. i think the poll is going to go through the roof next week. because the country realizes we can look positively to the future for the first time since the '40s. >> well said. thank you for sitting in.

he's selling adventure. this is our time. i think the poll is going to go through the roof next week. because the country realizes we can look positively to the future for the first time since the '40s. >> well said. thank you for sitting in. >> we're back with the roundtable, as well as clarence and tom, who were regular guests on the mclaughlin group. >> let's make some toast. >> you and i used to vote for

the alternate seat. every couple months we'd get a call. >> that's right, that's right. i can't believe he's gone. i can't believe how much of a part of my life he's become. i've been doing this show off and on since 1988. >> when did you get the call, monday or tuesday? >> the longer the time went on, the later he would get, the more pop-in the show became and all that. but usually around wednesday or thursday, something like that. >> there was a time in the early '80s, when reagan was president, everybody you knew watched it every saturday night. it was on at one time, and everybody watched it and then maybe go out for dinner. they'd say, what about mclaughlin tonight? it was unlike any program. and it wasn't like these angry right-wing shows or left-wing shows. it was fun! >> it was and it is. and that legacy, in many ways, and everyone, you know, knows this. i was -- when the show started in '82, i was born in '86. i grew up watching with my dad, state department, foreign

service, in cnbc europe. when i came out here, sent an e-mail to comments at mclaughlin, can i come on? just being ballsy. and i get to come on and be on. to be exposed to that environment. he knew that based on previous experience, i guess he saw something, gave me that opportunity, i owe him everything and he was a very decent and tough man. what you saw on the set was the real guy. and also behind the scenes, because i would help him with some producer work, the phone calls, i just wish some of those had been recorded, just the ludicrous things he would say. called me at once late at night talked about david mcnaseus's head and how it moves in an aud direction when he speaks. and it was okay, bye-bye. and he would put it down. and he'll be remembered in those

visualizations. >> i never had more fun with a guy the day i spent with him in east germany, the strangest day of my life. great company for all of us. see what you missed? >> i know, i know. >> anyway, thank you all. let me finish with the two 500 meter racers who stopped to help each other. you're watching "hardball," the place for politics.

>> let me finish tonight with an

>> let me finish tonight with an olympic story we're all going to
