11:00 am
my city's at risk. siemens digital grid manages and reroutes power, so service can be restored within seconds. priority number one is keeping those lights on. it takes ingenuity to defeat the monsters that live in the dark. good saturday. i'm richard lui msnbc headquarters. it's 2:00 p.m. on the east coast. all eyes on hermine. the storm is strengthening as it batters beaches from virginia to new jersey. hermine could reach hurricane strength again by the end of the weekend. on the politics front donald trump takes his campaign to detroit reaching out to african-american voters there. the republican nominee visiting a predominantly black church as protesters shouted outside. let's get started at the top
11:01 am
of the hour now with donald trump in detroit. a short time ago he finished a neighbor tour in detroit as part of his minority outreach. his day began with the service at the black great faith ministries church. bishop wayne t jackson invited trump to say a few words. >> our nation has been inspired toward a better moral character, a deeper concern for mankind, and spirit of charity and unity that bind us all together, and we are bound together. i see that today. this has been an amazing day for me. >> trump pledged to bring jobs back to the african-american community. >> our nation is too divided. we talk past each other, not to each other, and those who seek office do not do enough to step into the community and learn what is going on. they don't know. they have no clue. i'm here today to learn. so we can together remedy
11:02 am
injustice in any form, and so we can also remedy economics. so that the african-american community can benefit economically. >> now outside the church a different scene, as you can see. protesters not convinced his outreach is sincere. some say he came to the right place, but for the wrong reasons. let's go to nbc's jacob rascon. you're in the middle of the protesters. you're reflecting with those watching what donald trump was saying inside. anything different? >> reporter: a lot of surprises. this came after weeks of criticism, of course, he was bringing his pitch to black voters to largely white communities. so he finally came to a black audience to make his pitch, and as we talked to those inside, many were genuinely surprised as his decidely softer even more humble tone.
11:03 am
outside, as you were seeing on the protest, 50 or 65 protesters came and the message was clear for some of them. this is our neighborhood and you're not welcome because of what he said that offended them over the past year or so. many said they saw this as a show. this was a make over that was not genuine because of everything they've heard so far. they said even if he came and even if this was the right place, which many have acknowledged i give him an "a" for coming. we can't believe it because of what he said. i mentioned those were surprised at his tone. here is what a couple said. >> come all the way here. oddly coming all the way here. it says a lot. >> reporter: so we talked to many people who said that they were surprised at his tone but he didn't change their mind. one woman said he would have to do a lot more than this. he has a lot of make up work to do. richard?
11:04 am
>> nbc's jacob rascon with the trump campaign today in detroit. thank you. i want totremaine lee. detroit, this is a city where almost seven out of eight people are african-american. there's only one other city in the nation that has more african-americans by density. any of them saying to you or that you've heard that it looks better now? donald trump does, as a potential candidate that they may vote for? >> reporter: that's not what we heard. we didn't hear anyone saying now i'm going to vote for donald trump after a 15-minute speech. but, remember, this is a church. a black church, historically welcoming to visitors, guests, and strangers. many of them, as pitbishop jack said. if you love jesus, you love your neighbor, we welcome anyone with open arms. person after person said that. they were willing to come with an open heart and positive spirit to hear what donald trump had to say. but they also said they had been blind to the last 18 months. they remember all the rhetoric.
11:05 am
recently, you know, the comments about, you know, why you should vote for me. your communities are no good and get shot in the streets. no one has forgotten. for those 15 minutes when donald trump scripted and off script he seemed genuine. he seemed honestly wanted to hear what people had to say. they hope that as much as donald trump, you know, benefitted from the optics of having a smiling black preacher put his arm his shoulder and black people cheers for you, they were able to leave scenes with him. until today he never stepped inside a black church. today that changed. while, you know, many people said that what happens in november when they step into that voting booth will not change. their perception changed a bit. they feel that maybe donald trump is not playi ining politi. >> tremaine, he not only gave that message in the church, he also did a neighborhood walk or two. that all put together, you heard
11:06 am
jacob say "a" for effort. what would you say might be the grade for the message? >> the message was positive. people said that they could tell it was scripted because it was so one point. it wasn't the donald trump we were used to. as a matter of fact, i spoke to folks outside after wards. i think we have sound. neighb maybe they can explain it better. >> giving them a voice to hear. i thought what he had to say was a little scripted, but i believe it was from the heart. i don't think it changed the way he was perceived. >> it's the first time i saw a humbleness and compassion from donald trump. >> reporter: that's right. the idea that donald trump walked into this sanctuary humbled. in fact, he came in and i watched him as he took to the front row and bobbed his head and swayed a little bit as the gospel music played. at the end of his speech when he mentioned john 1: 4, and the
11:07 am
crowd erupted in applause. he nude tknew the audience he w playing to. he had help with the message. >> what we saw was a donald trump we haven't seen by some -- with at least one view looking down on his papers and a very quiet volume throughout his message. tremaine lee in detroit. we'll get more into donald trump's visit and outreach to minority voters later. now we move to what we're watching on the east coast. coastal flooding underway in parts of new jersey. post tropical cyclone hermine strengthening now move into the atlantic. maximum sustained winds estimated at 65 miles per hour. the national hurricane center forecasting hermine will become a hurricane again, potentially tomorrow through tuesday.
11:08 am
tamney lig tammy lightener is in seaside heights, new jersey. >> reporter: right now it's just very cold and windy out here, richard. i can tell you the waves are picking up. take a look at the ocean. those waves have gotten angry since this morning. you can see there's only a few people on the beach and that's because of the rip tide warnings now. they're advising everybody do not go out there swimming. it's way too dangerous. just a short while ago, we spoke with the mayor of seaside heights. they have been preparing for this since wednesday, he said. lets listen to what he had to say. >> since wednesday in preparation we've put up sand berms on the north end of the beach. in this end of the beach, we poured some sand under the board walk. our oem fuel trucks are ready. we own our electric. our lines and again raters are in a good shape. we own our own water company.
11:09 am
>> reporter: they obviously are preparing for the worst, richard, but hoping it doesn't get to that point. back to you. >> they're used to the worst, and no doubt know how to be prepared. tammy lightener, thank you. for more on the storm track we take you to msnbc meteorologist. we've seen it before, bonnie. hermine headed toward the east coast. how long do we expect the storm to last over the labor day weekend? >> beyond monday. i think we'll be talking about it through the middle of next week. here is the latest advisory. came in moments ago. hermine is a post tropical clone even stronger. the winds maximum sustained 70 miles per hour. 74 miles per hour or greater is hurricane intensity. the storm slowed down moving to the east at 10 miles per hour. it's exactly what the forecast said it would do. as it pushes offshore throughout the afternoon and evening we'll likely see it grow stronger sunday and monday and tuesday surpassing hurricane intensity with winds at 75 miles per hour.
11:10 am
now this storm normally, if it was pushing away from us, we wouldn't care if it was that strong. the problem throughout the first part of the week it's sitting here. it's sitting and spinning and bringing about wind and waves. the jet stream would be the conveyer belt to get rid of hermine but that's not happening. it swirls around bringing high wind and waves we've seen pictures of in new jersey causing flooding that is happening now. 2 to 4 feet above normal for high tide north carolina to virginia. then from the border of virginia all the way to new jersey. we're talking about dangerous high tides. 3 to 5 feet above normal. we'll see the flooding. we may see it along the south shore of long island. coastal areas of rhode island and into possibly the cape of the island. the tropical storm warning extends to montauk. the watch extends north ward to
11:11 am
new england. it's a long-lasting weather event. as you can see we advance it forward the winds stick around and stay strong over the next few days. not much of a change here. just the potential for coastal flooding day after day starting tonight and straight through wednesday. >> all right, bonnie schneider msnbc biologismeteorologist. watching hermine as it hits. more on that later. from teams across the eastern sea board, we'll stop in with them. and donald trump's trip to detroit and making his pitch to african-american voters. and more. we'll take a look who these voters are and whether trump's characterization of the issues they face stack up to reality.

11:13 am
and i make dog chow in denver, (vcolorado.e's nick one of my fondest memories of khloe is the day we got her. i knew right there she was gonna be a great dog. khloe's a big influence on the family. she loved lincoln from the start. she's his little protector. i trust dog chow to keep khloe healthy because i see the high quality ingredients that go into it. the standards that we follow are top notch. i trust dog chow enough to feed it to my dog every single day. narrator: it wasn't that long ago. years of devastating cutbacks to our schools. 30,000 teachers laid off. class sizes increased. art and music programs cut. we can't ever go back. ryan ruelas: so vote yes on proposition 55. reagan duncan: prop 55 prevents 4 billion
11:14 am
in new cuts to our schools. letty muñoz-gonzalez: simply by maintaining the current tax rate on the wealthiest californians. ryan ruelas: no new education cuts, and no new taxes. reagan duncan: vote yes on 55. sarah morgan: to help our children thrive.
11:15 am
i believe we need a civil rights agenda for our time. one that ensures the rights to a great education. so important. and the right to live in safety and in peace. i fully understand that the african-american community has suffered from discrimination, and there are many wrongs that must still be made right. >> donald trump today delivering a sober message to a black congregation in detroit as he continues his appeal to minority voters. just yesterday trump used a sharper tone arguing that democrats have taken african-american voters for granted. take a listen. >> it's disgraceful, frankly, what happened with respect to the african-american community. how badly they've been treated by democrats that have run the inner-cities for so long and have given them nothing. all they want is their votes. >> trump has characterized the african-american community as living in poverty. that characterization not wholly
11:16 am
correct. about a quarter do live in poverty. nearly double the national rate. but census data shows 74% do not. business ownership among african-americans is doing well. that rate, by the way, faster than those of asian-american descend and only second to those of latino-american descend. when it comes to unemployed black youth, the way washington post puts it. white youth have similarly high unemployment numbers. according to fbi data, the murder rate in most cities with over a million people has steadied steadily declined over the last decade. joining me now is amy holmes-rasmussen, michelle holmes, eleanor clift. amy, we start with you. we have these messages, the thrust of his characterization of the african-american
11:17 am
community consistently all the way through friday that of living in poverty. when we look at the data, it seems to show certainly that we're not talking about the majority of the community being the way he's talking about. >> right. and i think that donald trump is sort of making the mistake of conflating the african-american community with the urban inner-city. and that's what he was addressing and i think overly broadly. but as we know african-americans are not a -- politically either. interestingly this week rasmussen reports that donald trump is earning a surprising 24% of the african-american vote. now it's -- >> 24%? >> 24%. >> we've been seeing 2% and 1%. >> that's the case in the elections of 2008 and 2012 with barack obama. if you go back to 1992, george bush senior earned 10% of the african-american vote and ross perot earned 7%.
11:18 am
>> why 24% from your polling? >> why are we seeing it? the race is tightening. we have donald trump a point ahead of hillary clinton. so i think we're going to see the race tighten even more beyond labor day, of course, as we get down into the home stretch. >> michelle, here is more of congresswoman brenda lawrence ahead of trump's remarks. >> this scenario you see being played out is typical donald trump. that's why when you say "what do i have to lose?" look at how this man treats us as a black community. this is insulting. >> insulting, though? as we look at this now, michelle, he goes to detroit, a city to where it's the second largest concentration of african-americans. does it counter balance what the representative was saying there? >> no. you know, i don't see it as a counter balance. i guess there's a small part of me that will congratulate him
11:19 am
for going and speaking to a black congregation in detroit. if you listen to the message, you know, the tone was softer than what we have heard from donald trump in the past. but he still gives the misimpression that the overwhelming majority of african-americans in the united states are looking for government to be mommy and daddy. that is not what african-americans are looking for. he gives the impression that the overwhelming amount of african-americans live in the urban inner-city, undereducated, or uneducated or unemployed. it's a part of the community just as a part of the white community. i would like to see donald trump talk about the black business people. the black african-americans who are innovators. who run nonprofits. who are educators. who have contributed so much to american society and realize that our issues are absolutely no different than the issues that face, you know, white americans or any other americans in the country. we are poor, rich, middle class,
11:20 am
we stretch the gamete of what it is to be an american. >> which is what we were describing at the top of the segment. the complexity, the fabric of the african-american community. we take a look at the numbers in the census. eleanor, let's talk about the fabric. let's talk about donald trump trying to go to at least one of those centers of the african-american community in the united states. where else does he need to go? >> well, i think he has been playing into this stereo typical caricature that white people, some white people have of black community. i think his base of voters probably hold the view of black population that he has articulated. and i think by reaching out to black community, i think he's doing a positive thing. i think there's some truth to his words. these cities have been under big democratic control. they have a lot of problems. it's a complicated scenario. government programs don't necessarily work. supporters of these programs
11:21 am
would say they've been under resourced. it's a dialogue we should have. but he's uttered some very nice words in his visit to the black church, but where are the policies to back it up? there is a tradition in the republican party. jack kemp articulated them of policies that kind of fit with the more republican entrepreneurial spirit that could help in black communities. but i haven't heard anything from donald trump. it seems like a boldly political appeal mostly to assure white voters he doesn't have a racist bone in his body. >> richard, quickly. i want to give an example of something. in the early 2000s i sat in the white house when george bush was president. he orchestrated a well-meaning, and well-attended meeting in the white house of african-americans and he spoke to that group of
11:22 am
african-americans mostly ministers, mostly democrat with heavily democratic church congregations and his tone was completely different than anything i have ever heard from donald trump this election cycle. he listened. he said what are the issues that are the most important to your communities? and it wasn't one community he was looking at. >> showing up and talking an listening. >> exactly. right. >> donald trump is attempting to do today in terms of some of the policies he's articulated. school choice, for example, he backs that. a lot of african-americans do. like, michelle, i am a former d.c.er and i worked for bill frist from tennessee. expanding that to washington, d.c., students. at least -- >> washington, d.c., gary, indiana, atlanta, georgia. >> we need to give donald trump credit to take the baby steps to
11:23 am
listen and engage. he said and we heard on-air that he needs to listen. he need to hear what different communities need in terms of policy, and this is a challenge for republicans historically. >> one data point on donald trump, and that is today going to an african-american community, we'll see if there are more data points, no doubt. amy, michelle, eleanor. stay with us. i want to take you to breaking news we've been watching, of course, today. that's hermine as hermine makes the way up the east coast. we're looking at the pictures at the moment from portsmouth, virginia. we'll keep an eye on that. we're seeing some flooding there in that area. we'll go to other reports -- other reporters stationed up-and-down the east coast as hermine could make is way back to hurricane wind strength in the next few days. men.

11:27 am
keeping our eye on hermine this saturday. these live pictures of flooding that appears from this, again, live picture of portsmouth, virginia. the concern about hermine making its way up the east coast after hitting florida in the last 24 hours. you can see the data at the bottom to of our screen. wind speeds 70 miles per hour. wind gusts 86 miles per hour, and that, again, directional east of northeast we're watching. this is also concern, of course, as it makes the way north. new jersey, governor chris christie declaring a state of emergency for ocean, atlantic, and cape may counties as hermine begins to impact his state. while the strengthing storm is expected to stay offshore. the storm surge is what we're watching. the weather channel's paul go
11:28 am
goodloe is in atlantic city, new jersey. the governor is worried about it and unfortunately has experience with. >> reporter: definitely. again, we don't expect the surge to be anything close to hurricane sandy that happened four or five years ago, four years ago, but the concern is people are out here, again, tens of thousands of people enjoying the board walk that need to. it's not raining. we had light rain earlier. the heavy flooding rain you saw in florida, georgia, and south carolina, north carolina not expected here. which is kind of a bad thing because we're in a big time drought across the northeast. but that is also kind of letting people's guards down thinking, oh, well, it's not going to hit us. it never was going to directly hit new jersey or anywhere here across the northeast, but the impacts will be felt. you showed that time line here. this storm is actually no longer a tropical storm. it's called post tropical storm
11:29 am
hermine. it's forecasted to strengthen back to hurricane strength. over the next 24 to 30 hours. that brings more impacts along the shore. here in atlantic city we can show you what is going on here in the atlantic. it has white caps out there. still a very angry surf. 4 to 6 foot waves out there. these will only continue to grow as we have hermine gain strength. right now it's moving east. away from shore but forecasted to move back toward the jersey shore as we head toward sunday night into monday and perhaps not even moving away until sometime on tuesday. then it starts breaking more impacts across new england. yeah, it might not directly hit this area, but the impacts will continue to be felt. gusty winds now, winds increase, tidal flooding increases and so does beach erosion. it's not a 4 or 6 hour event. it will linger for 72 to maybe 96 hours across the region. >> on the lead up, time to get
11:30 am
ice cream and salt water aftery over your left shoulder before it does hit there the board walk. thank you so much, paul. we'll be stopping in throughout the day. we'll turn back to politics after a short break. hillary clinton is out of sight again this weekend. she has not held a news conference since before christmas. and the drum beat for her to do is getting louder. a powerful earthquake rocking oklahoma? felt as far as nebraska. the latest on that damage. they can tell what i'm thinking, just by looking in my eyes. but what they didn't know was that i had dry, itchy eyes. i used artificial tears from the moment i woke up... ...to the moment i went to bed. so i finally decided to show my eyes some love,... ...some eyelove. eyelove means having a chat with your eye doctor about your dry eyes because if you're using artificial tears often and still have symptoms, it could be chronic dry eye.

11:34 am
oklahoma has, in fact, seen a spike in earthquakes lately. they link it to the disposal of waste water from fracking. there's hermine churning off the mid atlantic coast. it could reach hurricane force winds again. and donald trump visits detroit today, as he tries to win over black voters. he spoke at a predominantly black church and got a tour of the city from ben carson. let's move to hillary clinton now. she's off the campaign trail this weekend, but her e-mail controversy is in the headlines still. the fbi releasing 58 pages of notes from the interview with clinton one month ago. they reveal, after we go through them, that the fbi found over 17,000 e mails not turned over to the state department. clinton saying she could not recall all the briefings received on handling sensitive information due to a concussion suffered in 2012. she also relied on her staff to use their judgment when
11:35 am
e-mailing her and didn't know the letter "c" meant confidential. the lowest level of classification. msnbc's political correspondent kasie hunt joins us. you have gone through all of these pages. and a lot more questions today about these notes that were released, and there's the fall out which you've been watching. what do you see? >> hi, richard. the top line here is that there is no new smoking fe ining gun changes this story. it gives us additional detail and insight into exactly how it was that hillary clinton approached this. these are the pages of notes from her interview. it's not the interview itself. donald trump has been out there criticizing the fbi for not recording the interview. the clinton campaign, though, are pleased this much information has come out. you remember they were concerned about selective leaks. and the statement from brian fallon said the materials made
11:36 am
clear why the justice department believed there was no basis to move forward with the case. that, of course, a reference to the fact they recommended that hillary clinton not be charged in connection with this. but one interesting detail we learned from this, richard, that stood out to me. she used multiple blackberries over the course of this connect talked to her private server for her e-mails. sometimes, the report said, she would get a new one and wouldn't necessarily like it very much. we know how getting a new device can be confusing. she would revert back to the old one. sometimes they weren't sure what happened to the devices. in at least one case, an aid took a hammer to it. >> more details. no smoking gun there. kasie hunt going through the documents. thank you, kasie hunt. >> thanks, richard. it has been 273 days since secretary clinton did hold a news conference. a standard news conference. after some pressure the campaign announced starting on labor day
11:37 am
clinton will share a plane with her traveling press corps.. will it guarantee more success and acceptance and fewer critics? back with me now amy oklahoma, michelle bernard, and eleanor clift. the l.a. times writing that clinton needs to get more in front. that's an article. she needs to, you know, take some of the limelight away, if you will, from donald trump. 66 days before election day. at what point does the run-out-the clock strategy she's taking not work? >> we saw it this week it's not working. her unfavorabilities at a historic high in her political career. so running out the clock has not endeared her to american voters. it's her responsibility as a presidential candidate to answer questions. it's not about getting the press to like you. it's about communicating to the american people the truth of your positions, the truth of the e-mail, of the server business. the point list you went down.
11:38 am
17,000 e-mails she said she turned them all over. it turns out she didn't. >> and not responding directly to it. >> something that frustrating to me, too. she was a former united states senator from new york and sat on the armed services committee. she would have gone through classified briefing training then. it wasn't her first time at the classified rodeo. >> does the response from secretary clinton in these new notes, these 50 plus pages we have received and gone through, does it make sense to you, does it, if you will, jive with the truth in what you've read so far, michelle? >> no smoking gun. all of it jives with the exception could be very small problem in the scope of things given who she is running for president against. i don't find it's incredible she didn't know that the letter "c" on the briefings meant
11:39 am
confidential. i think the american public will question that. on balance, if you're looking at hillary clinton and, you know, examining all of this in the context of what she has said happened with her memory post the concussion she suffered in 2012 versus deciding whether you're going to vote for a candidate who has referred to mexicans as rapists and african-americans as people who are living in, you know, a dire straits ca straits squalor, i think on balance this issue woo the e-mails is not going to harm hillary clinton in the long run. >> eleanor, do you think it's going to harm secretary clinton in the long run? let's add another detail we brought up in introduction here. the press corps. as you know, traditionally has traveled with the nominee, at least this point in the campaign. when we look at, you know, recent cycles. do you the arrangement will change anything about clinton's habits with the press as they're announcing now. they're going to be traveling
11:40 am
with the campaign? >> well, first of all, i share the i want pulse of the aid who took a hammer to one of the devices. i've had that urge myself. >> we all have. >> yes. i think if they're in a shared plane, typically, there are conversations that are on the fly with the reporters that are traveling. often the campaign tries to put those off the record. if i were hillary clinton, i wouldn't trust anything was off the record. so i think she's got to know she's going to be on the record. and i think couplelatively it hurt her. the she's given a number of speeches. i think the fact she hadn't had a full scale press conference in august is not big deal. i think she has to reassess it. >> why isn't it a big deal? >> because from her perspective, it just opens up all kind of
11:41 am
lines of questioning. she will never be able to put any of these stories to rest. it gets her off message at a time when donald trump, frankly, is self-destructing. so politically it makes no sense. >> politically -- >> i don't think -- >> it is a big deal -- >> but i think september is a different ball game. in the weeks before that first debate i think she's probably going to give the press a chance to ask her some of these questions. she should have more trust in herself to handle these questions. >> amy, quickly, then we have to close it out. >> i think it is a big deal she's unwilling to do her basic duty as a presidential candidate to answer probing questions from the media and communicate it to the public. i think it's political danger for her. it's bobbling up all of these questions that could explode first debate night when americans are actually really tuning in and listening very carefully to have hillary
11:42 am

>> i was disappointed because i had the, i guess, the nativity to believe this guy was a businessman. that this guy was a republican. we didn't hear republican last night. we heard a populist propaganda con artist. and i'm done with it. >> tough words from jacob monte. he resigned from trump's
11:46 am
hispanic -- several prominent latinos withdrew or reconsidered their support. the latest poll showing latino american voters favor clinton 70% compared to 19% for trump. that taken before wednesday's speech on mass deportation. some gop analysts say he has to win 40% of latino vote to stay competitive. that's the number that was earned or won by george w. bush in his second cycle election. but that is proving to be an elusive goal, perhaps, for donald trump. i would like to bring in our panel former communications director for the gop in florida. also, cesar vargas. former latino outreach strategies for bernie sanders. welcome to the both of you.
11:47 am
do you share what was said there by mr. monty say he feels like, if you will, bamboozled along the way. he had -- >> there was a lot of disappointment with the speech. going in the last two weeks something that the hispanic community, immigration stakeholders and voters across the country were looking for is a speech beyond enforcement. beyond border control. we understand border control is important. we understand that deporting criminals is a top priority. but we also understand that reform in our legal system and making sure that those in the undocumented community who are law-abiding, who are contributing to our nation should have an opportunity to continue adding value in our nation with an earned path to legalization. so i guess the disappointment is
11:48 am
there from people across the country who were looking for both candidates, really, to come and find a consensus among the american people on how we can move forward with immigration reform that addresses all areas. >> you agree with jacob monty? >> i agree, yes, there is disappointment. we were looking for policies that would actually address the undocumented population. >> caesar, does donald trump want the latino vote? >> he praez much says what is best in the audience and he's in front of. >> we're getting two messages. >> yeah. >> i think it's for him is what is for him better. i think it depends on the audience. he was calling it a humanitarian crisis in mexico. he was saying he has deep respect for the mexican people. when he goes in front of arizona white middle class voters he talks a different game. i'm not surprised the rhetoric
11:49 am
that donald trump is viewing about mexicans, immigrations. we know donald trump's stance. he wants to appeal to the worst of america. >> and cesar, you know it's a foregone conclusion that any majority, necessarily, or the mass of latino american voters that are -- that they are definitely in the democratic pockets. you just have to look at the last cycle or two cycles ago, if you go back that far, where latino-american voters are looking for a president that would support immigration reform. they did not see it happen. you saw support drop. is it possible here with hillary clinton? >> absolutely. you've seen 70% to 19%. secretary clinton should be dominating with latino voters. she should have 80 or 90% with latino voters. instead we're seeing latino voters splitting. many english-speaking latinos favoring donald trump versus spanish-speaking latinos
11:50 am
favoring hillary clinton. she should do more. what can we expect from a president hillary clinton to do on immigration? to do on any issues? we need firm commitment. we need a person that can lead. >> i wanted tounge where in a survey. they felt their way of life was under threat from immigrant immigrants from mexico. 28% felt threatened. 65% said they were not. wadi, how do you adjust -- how do you counter act this perception there's danger from all immigrants that are undocumented? >> yeah, that's a fantastic question. i think we don't talk -- we tend to talk about the undocumented
11:51 am
population and describe them as the 11 million. we need to go into detail who the individuals are. we know that 43% of those here unlawfully came through our visa system. many of these individuals went through our universities. they graduated with a master's degree or a ph.d. in 2012 to 2014 51% of the u.s. start ups were begun by immigrants. again, we have to look at the community to understand to they're not just you can't put everybody in one group. >> right. and they're not all latino. lastly, quickly, cesar. a million of them are from asian countries, for instance. one out of ten are the undocumented are from asian countries. >> not just asians but italians, israelis. for me i think the issue is personal. i'm undocumented. a trump presidency can spell

disaster. a democratic president inphilanthropiequals just as -- the reality president obama has enacted that deportation. >> and not necessarily more than any other president. it's been looked at and it's certainly a spike during the obama presidency you're alluding to. thank you very much. we could talk longer about this. there are so many different details related to it. thank you for being here. to the other bragging story we're watching story. a live look at portsmouth, virginia. and the flooding ongoing. live pictures from the chopper cam. residents are dealing with flooding from hermine. still sitting off the east coast. it'll be there for some time, too. millions of people at risk right now. more of that ahead. hought i was crazy to open a hotel here. everyone said it's so hard to be a musician, but i can't imagine doing anything else. now that the train makes it easier to get here,
