well. storm watches and warnings are popping up along the east coast at the start of this holiday weekend. at this the hour, right now, the storm has claimed at least one life after high winds brought down a large tree on to a homeless camp. blinding rain, dangerous flooding, major storm surges causing some major damage as well. and historic beach erosion too. hermine showing florida as a hurricane overnight. wiping out power to many and leaving behind a path of destruction. making it the first hurricane to hit florida in 11 years. wnbc meteorologist rafael miranda is with us now tracking this storm. and my understanding based on al roker this morning is that this is a storm system that's going to linger for a few days i, no? >> that's right, craig, unfortunately that is true. and the threat from hermine continues to grow this afternoon. not just for the southeast, but for the northeast as well. let's get to the latest winds are down now to 50 miles per

hour, that is some good news, but it's still a strong storm moving through georgia and the carolinas. tornados are a possibility. including places like charleston. we may see the spin-ups throughout the day today and of course tons of heavy rain. now i want to look at the tropical storm watches. they have been expanded into the northeast. this morning, it was the jersey shore, now it's new york city and long island. all under a tropical storm watch. as storm surge looks to be the main threat as we're heading through the weekend. i'll talk about that in just a minute. here is the forecast. hermine continues to the north and east throughout the day. weakening before emerging out in the atlantic. this is tomorrow evening, then regains that strength, the winds will intensify once again, as we head later on into the weekend. monday, winds are back up to 75 miles per hour. the warm waters of the atlantic. now the storm will stay offsea, but look what happens saturday to wednesday. hardly moving at all. we're going to get this wind piling the water into back bays.

can't come back out, the water can in the escape. this comes can out after high tide cycle. the effects may be very significant. talk about the rain and rain amounts over the next few days. flooding possible for north carolina. most of the heaviest rain looks to stay offshore, jersey shore, you could be an exception to that. and now let's talk about storm surges. this is what has me most concerned for the new york city area and portions of the mid-atlantic. not so bad, georgia, south carolina, one to three feet. again, as it starts to slow down, mid-atlantic minor to moderate, it's the new york area of long island, the long island sound, jersey, back bays, moderate to major storm surge potential and craig, this is going to be saturday night through tuesday or wednesday. this could be unlike something we've seen in a very long time or perhaps ever. craig. >> all right. rafael bringing us the latest on hermine. thank you. one of the city's hit hardest by hurricane hermine so far,

tallahassee, maria larosa is there. >> reporter: sun is out right now wuk the winds have eased up, and it is hard to believe that that a short 12 hours ago, we were in the midst of a raging hurricane with winds that were gusting to 70 miles per hour here in tallahassee, leon county where as a result, widespread trees down and power outages which little by little be being restored here across tallahassee. the overall feeling is relief. that this storm came, it went, and now the sun is out and there's a chance to get throughout and clean up. in time for the weekend. and speaking of, people saying kind of good there wasn't a big football weekend. in fact, florida state university lost power, florida a & m university lost power. interestingly both schools asking the students on campus to give their parents a call, let them know that they are okay because they are fielding a lot of calls for some worried parents. thankfully right now, not much

to worry about as far as damage down. as i mentioned, trees down, power outages, but overall, fairing through hermine pretty well. the next step for this area is the clean-up. the next step for hermine has it's sights set on the mid-atlantic and the northeast. craig, back to you. >> maria larosa there in florida. the other big story, of course, politics. 67 days until the election. a short time ago in new york, donald trump emerging from his second intel briefing since winning the nomination. tomorrow in detroit, michigan is scheduled for an intel meeting of a holy different nature. trump set to visit a black church. he will be meeting members of the great faith ministries international church. trump does not have a very good reputation right now with black voters in this country. and getting anywhere from zero to single digits in most state and national polls. and there is some question based on two reports this week about just how scripted trump's visit is going to be. however the minister of that church in detroit telling cnn this morning that he has

questions that trump campaign doesn't know about. nbc's hallie jackson joins me, the joint free press rt rog that it would be a controlled environment. now, the trump folks are telling the times, no longer controlled. what can you tell kpups. >> that is what the communications director is telling the times. that they were in fact be remarks given from donald trump to the congress gaits tomorrow in detroit, he'll chitchat with them for a half hour afterwards. and the pastor doing the interview saying now morning, while he did submit questions to the campaign, he won't be sticking to those questions. that he will -- he has a few of his own he's going to throw in. what's the impact here? the issue is donald trump has been delivering a message to african american voters for maybe the last three or four weeks in white opportunities. he hasn't been talking to the voters he wants to communicate with. the campaign says listen, national platform. he has a national spotlight when he delivers these speeches, but

this is going to be the first time we'll see him having a direct interact and having to get a response from these members as well which hasn't happened. he's been speaking to crowds that give him energy. >> shh this going to be open to the press? >> well, there's question marks. question marks about how this would be. it's our understanding that there will be some access. the pastor conducting the interview is for the impact network. african american owned. so it's going to be out, but not a week until after the interview. so there should be some reporting that we can get out of the meeting tomorrow. we're waiting to see how that unfolds. >> let's pivot and talk immigration. >> pivot, craig, remember. >> no pivot. no double down. i still say it. >> it appears that once again he is creating confusion with where he stands. this is what he said on fox last night. here it is. >> we're going to get rid of all

of the bad players that are here. the gang members, the gang leaders, the drug dealers. after that takes place, which will be a process. and it won't go that quickly, but it's going to go as quickly as any human being can do it, after that takes place, we're going to sit back, we're going to assess the situation. wie going to see where we are because we'll have people in the country that, you know, that have come in illegally, we're going to sit back, assess the situation, make a decision at that time. >> very much sounds like what this administration has done in terms of priority enforcement. hugh hewitt was on earlier, the conservative radio talk show host, and he told me that what trump just said there puts him in line with what mainstream republicans have been saying for years. which is enforcement, then legalization. is that where we are now? >> it appears to be where donald trump is, at least for this day. >> okay. >> frankly. what we heard wednesday night, different. when we were sitting in the room, several times repeated it is no longer going to be

acceptable he says for undocumented immigrants to come in, hunker down and wait to be legalized. he talked about the deportation task force. that really upset even some of his own hispanic advisors. people on his advisory council. now you're seeing donald trump, hugh hewitt is right, he's getting more in line with what mainstream republicans want. the other proposals put out have been. he has been very consistent though on step one, which is secure the border. trump wants to deal with the border wall. other republicans want to do it in different ways, but secure the border first, figure out thousand stop undocumented imgraduates from coming over the border and deal with the issue of legalization. >> halli jackson. enjoy your holiday weekend. reverend al sharpton is president of the national action network and host of politics nation here on msnbc. we just hallie describe what we think the scene is going to be like in detroit. it sounds like it's going to be heavily scripted. is there anything wrong with that? >> absolutely. first of all, when you have a

candidate whom has said what he has said in mostly white audiences to black voters, he has a responsibility now to back up what he said. reform a lot to those supreme court seats that were beside things like affirmative action. tomorrow, he needs to address what does that mean? what type of people will he put on the supreme court? will he in fact support set aside programs for black businesses since he's talking about that? what are you going to do about the gun violence? we are lie to believe get shot if we walk down the street which is the overstatement of the -- with him it's the day. but what is your proposal on gun violence? what do you protoez to do about the continued unemployment that president obama has already cut

black unemployment in half. how do you continue to do that? how do you continue to deal with criminal justice reform? is this going to be a celebrity drive-by appearance or is this going to be a presidential candidate taking black voters seriously? if he takes it seriously and discusses issues and programs and policies, then it could be a good thing. if it is not, it will be the epitome of an insult to black voters. to act like you can wait, take some pictures, answer some softball questions and go on to the next stop and tell whites about us rather than deal with us like we are adults and make intelligent decisions on our votes. >> detroit tomorrow. he's going to be meeting with ministers in pennsylvania today. do you give him any credit at all for having these meet examination. >> well first of all, we're not lonely. we don't need meetings, we need answers. you know, we all have a lot of

things, particularly never alone. he's not doing us a favor. >> he earned it. just like mrs. clinton earned that. she's worked in the black community whether we agree or disagree on any given point. we know her. since she's in her 20s with mary rin edelman and the children's defense fund all the way to now. she's the senator here in new york. and i've known her to deal with the case, police brutality and unemployment and other things. donald trump has been a public figure in new york for 30 years like i have. i don't know of him taking a position on any issue other than when he was on the wrong side of the central park job. now he would come by when he was a democrat, some of our gatherings in and out, but he's never stood up -- >> not once. >> and the 30 year -- >> i challenge him tomorrow in detroit to say one civil rights issue. just one that he stood up for and stood up with in 30 years in his hometown. i'm in his home up to.

>> do you think that's the reason that visits like this are scripted? >> i think that the reason is being so scripted is because he really did can not say anything, one that he is done his background. second, i think he has not had any laid out policy and third, i think he's afraid because then he'd offend his extreme fringed groups that are supporting him. that mrs. clinton said is his mainstreaming of hate movement because he knows if he goes in and talks about set asides and about affirmative action and about police reform and criminal justice reform, he may offend some of the people that he's enjoying their support. even though he pretends like in some cases he don't know who they are. so he's in the hot seat, donald, let's see if you really are not politically correct, go for it. tell what you say you stand for or either like the what it is.

it's a celebrity drive by and using us as a backdrop. which is offensive to black voters who intelligent as anybody else. in fact more, we've had to fight for the right to vote. >> al sharpton, always learn something when you're on television. never a dull moment. be sure to catch his interview with the man hosting donald trump in michigan by the way, bishop wayne t. jackson. he's on the show sunday? >> diddy? >> yeah, diddy sunday morning, and i have bishop jackson sunday morning. >> it's going to be a great show. >> and i hope you're watching. >> before he goes to church. >> amen. >> never mind. today's microsoft pulse question, we'll see you sunday morning. microsoft pulse question, latinos for trump, founder marco gutierrez says there been taco trucks on every corner in nothing is down about

immigration. is that offensive? pulse is live. pulse.msnbc.com. that's the question we're asking. it's live right now. walking free. the former stanford swimmer serving just three months for a sexual assault conviction. reaction from outside that jail. sl straight ahead. right now though, a live look at wrightsville beach, north carolina. you can see the rain there. the winds also picking up we're told. these are the aftereffects of trorm hermine. we'll have another update on that treacherous storm a little bit later this hour. this is msnbc. hey listen, when you tell our friends about your job, maybe let's play up the digital part. but it's a manufacturing job. yeah, well ge is doing a lot of cool things digitally to help machines communicate, might want to at least mention that. i'm building world-changing machines. with my two hands. does that threaten you? no! don't be silly. i'm just, uh, going to go to chop some wood. with that? yeah we don't have an ax. or a fireplace.

former stanford university swimmer brock turner set free for a california jail this morning. three months early. he was sentenced to serve six months for sexual assaulting an

unconscious woman outside of a fraternity house back in january. we are joined now from outside that jail in san jose, jo, why did turner get out so soon and what's been the reaction there? >> reporter: brock turner was released three months early because of good behavior. he walked out of this jail right behind me at about 6:10 a.m., alone, carrying a bag of his belongings. he walked into a car, got into it, and drove away. and he's headed supposedly back to dayton, ohio, the suburbs of that area where he is from. where he is now officially registered in a national sex offender data base. and here, we are seeing protesters continue to campaign for longer sentences for sex offenders, in addition to a recall of the judge whosk the judge on the brock turner case. so we are seeing this unfold, campaign continues to go strong, but ae also want to turn our attention to photos that nbc

news obtained exclusively of brock turner shortly after he was arrested at the time of this event. and you can see that his clothes are ripped and his -- he is bruised and those are new photos that he just obtained. now craig, brock turner headed home to ohio to face a band from stanford university and being registered as a national sex offender data base. >> with an update on brock turner who again, out. three months early. campaign news right now, the fbi has released some hillary clinton e-mail investigation documents. we just got our hands on these. kristen welker, pouring through them right now. she's got new reporting for us coming up next. also anthem outrage, san francisco 49ers sar, colin kaepernick booed for this, kneeling during the national anthem last night. not the first time a sports figure maz used the field to

we are also releasing a factual summary of the fbi's investigation into this matter. why is this significant and what are these documents, craig? these are the notes that the fbi took during the interview. lawmakers have requested to see these notes. you will recall that james comey ultimately said that secretary clinton was careless and said that there was no basis to actually bring charges. well, lawmakers said they wanted to see why. how did they come up with that conclusion? because and in the interest of transparency and because there was so much attention on this matter, fbi director james comey decided to release these notes. referred to 302s. this is very unprecedented. in the sense that rarely do we see these notes get released to the public, but the clinton campaign has actually said they wanted to see them released to the public because they didn't want lawmakers to cherry pick. so we are going to look through the documents that have been released. important to also point out a

fair amount of these documents have been redacted, craig, as soon as we know what the headlines are, we'll bring them to you. >> redacted for what reason? >> the information might be too sensitive to the share with the public. perhaps trying to protect someone's name or personal information. there are all sorts of reason why is the fbi might want to redact information before actually releasing them to the public. but of course, craig, this is the issue that secretary clinton just can't seem to shake. these headlines about her e-mail, her use of a personal e-mail server and it is one of the issues that continues to fuel voters lack of trust in her. and of course, we're getting new poll numbers out today which showed that 59% of folks say they do not trust her. 61% though say that they don't find donald trump honest and trust worthy. so he's still beating her in that regard, craig. >> small victory for the travel press who follow the secretary. apparently she is going to start allowing you guys to fly with her, is that right?

>> we are going start that on monday. craig, and we are anticipating it greatly. the reason because it's going to hopefully give us label the more access to secretary clinton, of course one of the ongoing topics of conversation is that we don't think we have enough access to her. we want to always be asking her more questions, so we're hoping that this is a chance to do exactly that and of course we have a lot of questions every day. so hopefully we'll get to ask for a few on that press plane. >> kristen welker, we'll let you get back to those documents later. thank you. congresswoman dina titus is a democrat from nevada. she is also for the purposes of this conversation, clinton campaign surrogate. let's start with what we just ended there. the small victory for the press corps today that hillary clinton announcing she is going to be traveling with them starting monday. why won't she have a news conference? >> well, we think she's out there a lot. she's certainly been to nevada a number of times.

she's got a lot of things planned for the labor day weekend. she's going to have the press on the plane with her. we need to remember that donald trump is the one who throws the press out of his events. she seems access to believe me. >> say what you know about his policies, you can't dispute that when reporters ask him questions, whether here in the states or in mexico, he's typically willing to answer those questions and it's been 272 days now since your candidate has had a formal news conference, and again, i think -- i think for a lot of folks, they just think that this is oh, reporters are wining again, they just want to ask stupid questions, but the reality is, there continues to be this perception that she has something to hide. and i think a lot of folks would they if you hold a news conference, formal news conference every now and then, that helps dispel those notions, does it not? >> well, that may be true. but she's been the most transparent candidate and the most scrutinized candidate that i can imagine in this ri.

and donald trump may answer your questions, but let's take a look at what he say when you say he answers. he comes without things that change from day to dpap they have no substance to them. they aren't fact and they need to ask the second question like how are you going to pay for it? what does that mean? how you going to put that in place. she has put out white paper after white paper that details her plans for taxes. pharmaceuticals, you name, she's done it. >> let me show you this headline today from the hill. here it is. while trump gambles, clinton plays it safe. got to look fairly presidential in mexico. he'll be trying for it again tomorrow. what's the concern that clinton's flay safe strategy. we heard howard dean allude to this earlier, the play it safe strategy could put her in a hold. >> i don't believe that. i believe she's going after every vote, one on one. now she was criticized for being too aloof, now she's spending

too much time talking to people and not to the press. she's not taking anything for granted. she's not playing it safe. she's out on the hustling, donald trump is media person. he's a it guy. this is how he gets attention. and doesn't have to spend money on commercials. let's look at the substance of what he says when he's out there just being a blow hard. >> congresswoman dina titus, democrat from nevada, congresswoman, thank you for your time. >> thank you. tropical storm hermine bearing down on the east coast, putting a major damper on labor day plans. we will go live to my hometown, columbia, south carolina, where the storm is walloping folks with heavy rains, heavy winds as we speak. also taking a stand on his knee. colin kaepernick, the san francisco 49ers quarterback continues his protest against racial injustice. kneeling during the national anthem last night. lots of outrage about what kaepernick has decided to do. we'll talk about it.

first though a look at your responses, latinos for trump founder marco gutierrez says there will be taco trucks on every corner if nothing is done about immigration. the question fairly simple, was it offensive? the result so far, 93% of you say yes, it was. pulse.msnbc.com. still live, you can cast your vote. picking up for kyle.

here you go. you wouldn't put up with part of a pizza. um. something wrong? so when it ces to pain relievers, why put up with just part of a day? you want the whole thing? yes, yes! live whole. not part. aleve. east coast is on alert at this hour. this is a live look at montana pleasant, south carolina, as tropical storm hermine makes her way up the coast, states was emergency have been declared in several states. it slammed ashore in florida as it category one hurricane overnight. hundreds of thousands are still without power. this is some video from horseshoe beach, florida. one death at this point is being blamed on the storm.

states along the eastern sea board preparing for the storm as it works it's way north. joined now from columbia, south carolina, my hometown, by a senior reporter for the nbc affiliate there, wis, jack kenzie. also hanging out at is a shopping center that i'm familiar with over in rosewood, jack, what's the scene like where you are, sir? >> reporter: craig, welcome back to columbia, south carolina, you're old stomping grounds. where we are as a shopping center relatively new one called rosewood crossing. it's near ft. jackson boulevard and right behind me, you could see there's not much going on here. and the reason for that is, this is an area that flooded very badly back in october of last year. october 4 and 5th. we had water as much as eight feet deep in this area. we had cars underwater, and all of these very new stores here, they had water in them and a lot of merchandise got damaged. and you could see today, not

only nobody in the parking lot, they're all shut down, but they have flood barriers across the entranceways, and that is of course designed to prevent a repeat of what we had here last year. there were many businesses in this area that were damaged and in some cases, destroyed, and some of them have still not been rebuilt. there was a very heavy toll on the commercial district here as well as some of the residential development around this area. there's some apartment complexes that have flooding people had to be evacuated. one of the reasons we had that problem, this over here, it's called gills creek. and this is an area that habitually floods in the columbia area. right now, even though we've had steady rain here, especially intense rain, probably over the last four or five hours, gills creek does not appear to be getting close to the point where it would be coming you have over the banks and into this parking lot. certainly nothing like we saw last october when we had that long, long, sustained period of

rain. and we had flooding that was very serious in parts of this city. we also had unfortunately we had some fatalities involved. we had at least six people who died here in the midlands. most of them trapped inside their cars, their bodies found inside their vehicles after those flood waters were starting to recede and of course, across south carolina, there was also a very heavy death toll. we had at least 15, possibly as many as 17 people who died here last october during that very long sustained period of heavy rain. nothing like that right now, but we are continuing to get this rain coming down and we are still watching to see whether or not any of these bodies of water start to become problematic. craig. >> certainly hope they do not, jack kenzie, our man in columbia, south carolina, good to see you my friend, thanks so much for that report. san francisco 49ers colin kaepernick's continuing his national anthem protest. he did it last night in san

diego. they played the chargers there. he refused to stand for the second straight game during the anthem. it was actually the salute to military night in san diego. this time, kaepernick was joined by fellow teammate eric reid, and it was met with boos from fans. some cheers, but mostly boos. kaepernick now pledging $1 million to community organizations that help inner cities. i'm joined now by msnbc contributor and also new york daily news columnist, mike. mike, sob good to see you, thanks for spending time with me this afternoon. kaepernick, not standing up again for the anthem. i want to play for viewers an listeners what he said after the game about why. >> the message is that we have a lot of issues in this country that we need to deal with. we have a lot of people that are oppressed. we have a lot of people that aren't treated equally, aren't given equal opportunities. you know, police brutality is a

huge thing that needs to be addressed. >> you've seen examples throughout your storied career of how sports, intersects with politics, how do you think this plays out? >> you know, craig, what's interesting to me about this is, kaepernick is engaging in a symbolic protest about an anthem that is a symbol of the freedoms that allow him to have this kind of protest. and, you know this, people always say, we need to have a conversation about race in this country, except, when we had one, it gets as loud and messy and as contentious as this has become pretty quickly. you know, i wrote about this the other day, when the president of the united states gave what i thought was the speech of his life after the murder of five policemen in dallas, he says that when something like this happens, everybody always goes to their respective corners. and he also said that day that he doesn't think the country is divided as we sometimes get the

impression it is. except, craig, when something like this happens, i'm not sure he's right about this because everybody has gone to their respective corners about this. and he's either got to be a patriot, or a bum. and i think the answer is somewhere in between that. >> do you think he lost some support when he put the socks on? the socks depicting police officers as pigs during training camp? there is a picture of the socks there. >> yeah. i mean, that was stupid. that worked against his own argument. because every time i see something like that, when i see policemen portrayed as pigs, i think tell that to the family of officer ramos and the widow of lu who was snaeted in brooklyn one christmas or the families of the cops in dallas. it's never just one thing. is he right about oppression in this country? yeah. if you're black in america, you feel like you've been outnumbered for about 200 years.

but the question is, has he picked the right forum? and is he in the right church but maybe kneeling and sitting in the wrong pew? >> i want to play something that dwyane wade recently said, and talk about this on the other side. and more of a macro approach to it. this is what dwyane wade said on gma earlier this week or late last week, here it is. >> my boys are afraid of the police just the way i was growing up. not all police, obviously. but my boys hear everything that's going on in the world. and all the harassment. all the murders that's going on. and they pose the question back to me. and what answer do i have for them? you know, so they know how involved i am in the community, so then i take that and i have answers for the city. i go to the mayor, to the city and say what are we doing to strengthen gun laws? you know? what are we doing to help our

police? you know -- >> because then you hear the police, the police in the city of chicago, we're fighting a war out there. >> and they are. >> i had a conversation with carmelo anthony a few weeks ago down in rio before the olympics, you saw the presentation at the beginning of the espys, athletes standing shoulder to shoulder. it seems where athletes feel far more comfortable than they used to of being activists. why do you think that is? >> i think that it's just the world in which they live. you have to become more aware, and you have to become more passionate. what's interesting is guys in my business are always telling guys like colin kaepernick to take a stand. and now you see what happens when he does. but you also see the force of sports in something like this. because craig, this to me, this anthem stance, or the opposite of a stance has become one of the most interesting things that

i can remember, and i was thinking, i wrote about this the other day, i remembered iowa mud who did this in the nba 20 years ago. and guess what, that was the beginning of the end of his pro basketball career in this country. he got a cup of coffee later with another team, but mostly spent the rest of his career abroad. and whatever side you take on colin kaepernick, he has to be aware that this may be, without him knowing it specifically right now, the beginning of the end of his pro football career. >> mike, always insightful sir, thanks for coming on. hope to have you back. >> any time, craig. donald trump enjoying support from the union that represents america's border patrol agents, but what do those agents think now that can that he says he's softening his position on immigration? we'll find out, next.

world-changing machines. well, not me specifically. i work on the industrial side. so i build the world-anging machines. i get it. you can't talk because it's super high-level. no, i actually do build the machines. blink if what you're doing involves encrypted data transfer. wait, what? wowwww... wow? what wow? there is no wow.

in all possible terms, no because we have our pride, we have our i understand investigation, and we'll never, ever, going to pay for anything built in the united states. >> reacting to donald trump's plans to build a wall along the border and have mexico pay for it right now we have roughly 702 miles of fencing along the border, fencing. trump wants to fill in the gaps. he also wants to triple the number of i.c.e. agents working along the border. the national border patrol council supports trump. the union endorsed him early during the primaries back in march. sean moran is a vice president for the union. they represent more than 16,000 border agents. sean joins me flou san diego, sean, thank you for your time on this friday afternoon. let's start with what erin seems to be talking about here. the wall that donald trump says he is going to build and that the mexican government is going to pay for, mexico's last three

presidents, including the current president and that's not happening. are donald trump's plans to you would be this wall, are the plans realistic? >> i think they are because we already have, as you said, over 700 miles of border fence. it's a vital tool that border patrol agents need, the country needs to secure it's southern border because prior to the fences being in place, we had vehicle-born loads of drugs, weapons with and people coming across almost every single night. >> correct me in if i'm wrong, my understanding is that geographically, there are parts of where we're talking about along the southern border that's from an engineering standpoint not feasible, is that right? >> that's absolutely true. there's sections of mountains where the grade is too steep to support a fence, but the areas that can support a fence are much greater than those that can. >> let's talk about the numbers here because statistically, it

looks like fewer people are trying to cross into this country from mexico. last year, the border patrol of a-ending just over 330,000 people. comparing that to an all-time high 1986 when the border patrol caught just over 1.6 million people, isn't the picture along the border improving drastically? >> well, if it was 2011, i'd be more inclined to agree with you. i think 300,000 people that have illegally entered the country is far too high. and that's just the ones we catch. we estimate that we catch maybe one in three. we don't really know what the true number of people coming across the border is border patrol agents and we had a leader who's talking about taking border security seriously. maybe the leash would be taken off and agents would be able to do that job. >> i want to look at more numbers here. this is from the pew research center and they show that they

were actually more mexicans leaving the united states than arriving. since 2009, there has been a net loss of mexicans, 140,000 more mexicans have returned than have come to the united states. is mexico really the problem, sean? >> well, from a border patrol perspective, yes, it is, because they're the majority of the people that we're catching along with a large number of central american children and families that are crossing through south texas. so, from my perspective, yes, mexico is the problem. they're not policing their northern border. the border patrol agents that have been killed by cartels and criminal organizations, those are mexican cartels, they're mexican criminal organizations, so yes, mexico is the problem. >> sean moran, we'll leave it there sir, thank you so much for your time. national border patrol council, sean, thank you. enjoy the weekend. >> thank you, you too.

back to the breaking news this hour. the fbi has released its investigation documents. let's get back to kristen welker in d.c. >> first of all, these are notes that the fbi took about secretary clinton's interview with them over the summer. these notes were officially requested by lawmakers. the clinton campaign asked that these notes be made public. ultimately director comey decided to do that. here's a look at the notes. we have a team of reporters and producers going through the notes. let me read you the headlines we have uncovered so far. . clinton told the fbi she

requested a secure black berry device when she arrived at the state department, similar to the one used by the president. one state department employee expressed concerns that hillary clinton's use of a private e-mail server violated the records act according to these new records. that's significant because you'll recall that comey said she had been careless in had the use. then clinton was not aware of state employee redacted, expressing concerns the server was not compliant with the federal records act and she did not sbepd the use of the server to evade the records act. so all of that important. there's one more important piece. this was one of the bug questions throughout all of this

investigation. was hillary clinton's e-mail hacked. but that is caveated by saying this investigation is inconclusive and also the fbi did find that hostile foreign actors gained access to accounts of individuals with whom clinton was in regular contact. so a lot of headlines coming in, but we are understanding a little bit better why director comey said her use of a internal e-mail was careless but not criminal. >> sifting through the documents 37 we are continuing to pour over these and throughout the afternoon. we'll be doing this. we'll bring the reporters on and have the new information to update you on precisely what's in those notes. thank you as always. much more ahead here on msnbc. first, tune in wednesday night. msnbc and nbc news along with the iraq and afghanistan veterans of america will be hosting hillary clinton and donald trump for a live forum to focus on issues that the next
