i look forward to the debates. >> donald trump looking forward to the debates. right after that, you're going to blink and it's going to be november 8th. but as for today, there's no day off. not for us here at msnbc and not for the presidential candidates. there's lots happening in this very hour. donald trump and mike pence have been in the battleground state of ohio all day long. in about 15 minutes, bill clinton will be at the afl labor day picnic in cincinnati. but before that starting any moment now, hillary clinton and tim kaine will appear at another holiday event in cleveland. that's where andrea mitchell is today. she joins me now. you were on that plane earlier today with hillary clinton. what's she up to right now? >> reporter: right now, she's preparing for this labor day rally. we hear from the head of the afl. this is a classic labor day event in cleveland. we have been in ohio at least once a week for this entire campaign with a few days off when she's been doing all that

big fundraising in the hamptons. but ohio is all important and, in fact, when we landed here, she was 100 yards across the tarmac on her plane from the trump plane and the pence plane. all the candidates are in cleveland at this hour. when we got on board her plane, her first trip on the official plane, it's a 737 stretch. we had a chance to greet her just very briefly. we're going to be able to ask her tough questions about all the things that have been backed up shs the e e-mails, the fbi, all the rest. but but first we had a hello, welcome, it's labor day. >> it's so exciting. i think it's pretty cool. >> i am so happy to have all of you with me.

i was just waiting for this moment. no really, i'll come back and talk to you more formally, but i want to welcome you on to the plane. >> so on the next leg of the plane, we're going to be able to ask questions. people want to talk to her about the fbi report. all the times she did not know or couldn't recall being briefed about classification and how things were suppose d to work a that level in the state department. a lot of questions backed up. she's been available occasionally along the trail for all of these months. once or twice, a quick question along the rope line. that's not exactly easy. but this will be the first time we get a few minutes with her on the campaign plane on our way to the next stop, illinois. >> there's no one better on that rope line to get a question to the candidate as you are. but here we're going to have realtime with hillary clinton. she's trying to come across more

open. but hillary's campaign that said let the notes out from the investigation. is that playing well for them? the more she continues to allow these conversations to happen, do you think she's going to give us a press conference that will tear it open? >> i would not expect that today. this is going to be a fairly brief flight on the way to illinois late in the day. one of those press conferences that lets it all hang out. that happened last march when the "new york times" first broke the story. that was about the last time all of us have had a chance to talk to her in any depth. she's been less open about her competitors and have taken her tole. she's had a decline in the polls, which you'd expect from the convention in philadelphia.

she's also had a continuing problem persuading people that she's honest and transparent. that's certainly because she's been not very open about all of these issues. so hoping they will try to address that, at least begin to here on labor day. >> i know you and the people of ohio are going to see her speak just a few minutes from it now. thank you. andrea mitchell in cleveland. donald trump is also in ohio with mike pence. hallie jackson, unluck uy for donald, she's not in ohio. she's right next to me in new york city. donald trump is hard at work this labor day. help us understand. any clear path of what his strategy is? the idea he's going to broaden things out, last week it seemed like he fired up his core base. >> he did. you can talk about wanting to appeal to more african-american

voters but he's reiterated what has got him this far. more swing states. this was a candidate that was in washington state, connecticut, mississippi, places that you wouldn't typically see republicans go in the general election. so what campaign aids have said privately is donald trump shifting to the key areas. north carolina, florida, ohio, all place where is he will be this week in an effort to try to focus where he needs to be focusing in the next 63, 64 days. >> you know where he loves to focus? twitter. this morning we got sort of a classic donald trump tweet where he said crooked hillary, she doesn't like what the polls have going so she's going to get out

of bed and campaign. she has been campaigning. it's not easy to raise $140 million in a month, but she did that. then a tweet from him. he was supporting president obama. can you believe the chinese would not give obama the proper stairway to get off the plane. is is donald trump now saying things to support the president? >> i don't know. there's a couple ways to read that tweet. i think maybe one of them is to say that president obama, as trump as had before, doesn't get respect from international leaders, the united states is not respected. i'm guessing based on over a year in change of covering the republican primary and campaign, but that's what i would imagine he was talking about. he also addressed this on his plane. an interesting moment we played live last hour. donald trump taking questions from his protective pool on his plane. the first time this has happened as they traveled with him between two cities in ohio.

protective pool is if you have a pool, it's somebody who travels with the candidate at all times, versus the traveling press corps that can be 15 or 16. members of all press outlets. protected pool is much smaller. he doesn't have a true protected pool because there's not somebody with hill him at all times. it's not access to us. it's a way to bring the voters and members of the viewing public information about the candidate. think about what would have happened had somebody not been aboard air force one during 9/11. some of these moments that you have the press to send a message to the public. so clinton traveling with her pool on her plane. the full traveling press corps. trump allowing the pool to come on board with him, saying in that mini interview, he didn't know that clinton was also allowing press to travel with her today. >> hallie jackson, glad to have

you here. i want to dig into this analysis on the campaign trail. i want to bring in a special panel ken vogel, the chief investigative reporter and an msnbc analyst. welcome, gentlemen. labor day, i want you both to put on a different hat. your campaign managers for hillary clinton's campaign, donald trump's campaign, you can choose. what's the olympian of attack? i'm going to start with you. you're sitting beside donald trump today. what's the number one piece of advice you're giving him. >> donald trump has to focus in the swing states. he's really got to focus and he's got to turn on and be more magnanimous. but focus on the things that hillary clinton is falling short on like her mishandling of classified information.

i think the other thing i would focus on is obamacare. she designed something similar to obamacare. it's failing everybody. it's failing the poor and a lot of the votes that hillary clinton is depending on. she has liked obamacare. that's not issue i would have trump focus on is health care. >> rather than both candidates, they continue to point the finger at one another. we know there are massively unpopular candidates. would this it not be the moment for let's say a candidate like donald trump, who in theory knows the economy, can understand jobs so well, stick to a script. >> you gave rick the harder of the two assignments there. as we have seen over the course of this campaign, no one can really advise donald trump. that's really the root of his problem. every time we have seen him make a pivot that has seen to be consistent with the very logical

sound advice that you just outlined there, that is stick to the script and try to be a little more magnanimous p, he's reverted to the donald trump that we know and seems to be the real donald trump chrks is much more bombastic and if he proceeds with that over the course of the next 64 days, we're going to continue to see his negatives really high. i don't think there's a whole lot either of these candidates can do to substantially bring down the negatives. what this race is going to be about over the next 64 days is driving out turnout among the base and driving downturnout among the other base. >> but is it fair to say it would be tougher to be donald trump's campaign manager? he has the ability to say things and walk away from them. over the weekend, he said the birther issue, i'm not going to talk about that anymore. people seem to turn the page. hillary clinton, this e-mail

issue, for example, goes on and on and on. she cannot shake it. >> that's right. it's going to continue to dog her and continue to be a challenge for her negatives because one of the key things that drives those negatives is this feeling of lack of trust. the e-mails, the suggestions that the foundation somehow had a pay to play element with her statement department, those are things that keep it high. with donald trump, i have to disagree a little bit. i don't think he's able to turn the pang away from the controversies as he was during the primary when he seemed to be totally teflon. some of these things are sticking to him more and that's why his negatives are high. >> you and i talked about something earlier on air. i want to go back to it. we talked about these polls narrowing and hillary clinton has official ly lost that post convention bump. but take popular opinion aside and the ral lies and cheering that donald trump has been able to fire up his base. but the road to 270. how hard is that for donald

trump? howdy provided are things? >> it's extremely difficult. as we talked about, pennsylvania is out of reach. without pennsylvania trump has to win florida, ohio, michigan, wisconsin, iowa. he's not going to win virginia. not likely to win north carolina. she's competitive in georgia. looks like he's going to lose colorado, nevada is still if play. but he'd have to run the table. he has to get about 116 of 122 electors up for grabs in the swing states. she needs between eight and ten. it's a difficult and hard thing electorally for him to catch up. >> those are massive numbers. does donald trump run the risk he falls into the trap that bernie sanders did? he had a core base. he fired them up, fired them up again and stayed in the race longer than mathematically made sense because he would go to rally and people were loving

him, but he never got enough wide support. does donald trump understand all those state he is needs to get? >> i think they do understand that, but donald trump, it's remarkable because he has a similar problem. people show up to rallies for many reasons. mostly to see a celebrity, but it doesn't translate into widespread voting. in fact, if you look at one recent poll, hillary clinton, people who said they were voting for hillary clinton because they liked her opposed to vote democrat, she had a slight margin. so the enthusiasm gap is in favor of her and a lot of her supporters are going out because they don't like donald trump. this race can be summed up in hillary clinton is now assembled more people that don't like donald trump than donald trump has assembled people that don't like hillary clinton. >> sort of a sad state of affairs is a massive

understatement. we'd like to see political leaders who we're excited about. thank you for joining me today. we're going to take a turn now. what would normally be bustling beaches are deserted by labor day. it's labor day restrictions as hermine continues to make its way up the east coast. the storm downgraded from hurricane to post tropical cyclone after it made landfall friday is taking a turn towards the coast today, gabe gutierrez is in east hampton. he's making his way closer to new york city. this is not your typical labor day. not by any stretch. >> reporter: actually, we are still in montauk. i couldn't get away from here. as you mentioned, hermine is on the east coast and you can see behind me not a huge crowd here at this beach, but there have been people trying to make the best of it.

the concern here not rain, but these dangerous rip currents as well as beach erosion here in other places under tropical storm warnings. right now the cape over in massachusetts is also dealing with the warnings. we are starting to get some strong wind gusts here. for the most part, people have been taking it in stride. what we have noticed is the economic impact of this storm. we were in maryland yesterday. some business owners had quite a washout on saturday. therefore, are trying to recoop those losses both yesterday and today. a lot of people we spoke with said they are glad this storm took this eastern turn. it was more offshore. so we haven't seen the rain or the coastal flooding effects yet. but forecasters say there's a potential for some coastal flooding over the next couple days. that's where we are at here. again, still under a tropical storm warning after hermine

really sloged through florida, through georgia and the carol a carolinas. at least two deaths blamed on this storm. one in florida, one in north carolina. at its height, hundreds of thousands of people are without power. >> gabe, thank you. good to know even if we miss business here, glad we're all safe. gabe gutierrez with his jacket and hat on as it is still windy out there. when we come back, we're going to take you back to politics. we are waiting for hillary clinton and tim kaine to speak in cleveland at a picnic. but next, we're going to focus on one senator's warning of the danger donald trump poses to his state sparking a war of words online. this as the trump campaign and surrogates continue to clarify their candidates immigration plan and if 11 undocumented immigrants will have to stay or go. stay with us. . hmmmmmm..... hmmmmm...

welcome back. you're watching msnbc. the images on the screen are of ohio where we are waiting on president bill clinton to speak at the afl labor day picnic in cincinnati. and hillary clinton and tim kaine to appear at a fair in cleveland. it's all about the swing state, the battleground states because the race is on. it's labor day. hillary clinton and donald trump are traveling all over the bu buckeye state as they fight over the perennial battleground. . jeff flake predicted his state may be in danger due to trump's immigration policies. >> it shouldn't be up for grabs. mitt romney won it by 8 points.

but frankly, it is. just saying that you're going to build a wall and make mexico pay for it is not a serious policy proposal. most arizonans know it. >> pastor brom nick is president of the hispanic israel leadership coalition and member of donald trump's advisory council. help me understand. why is jeff flake wrong? >> i think l security of our nation is an important issue for all people, including hispanics. when donald trump went to mexico and met with the president of mexico and both the mexican president understood the problems that we have on the border with the drug cartel, with terrorists coming across our border, we do e need to secure the border. i think it's an important issue, especially for border states. >> national security is massively important to the american people.

so many of those americans understand and support donald trump's message about building that wall. if the president of mexico understands that message, why didn't they talk about the wall and who is going to pay for it? >> obviously, that's an issue to be addressed as far as how that will be taken care of. and i think it was such a volatile issue that that wasn't where they wanted to spend their time. the approachment of trump to the president isolating issues of commonality and how we're going to work together from here on in needs to be primary. who pays for the wall is something that could be discussed. >> if the wall is something you support, what gives you kd that donald trump would pay for it? he can't just send them a bill. >> i really do think that's something left for discussion. the issue is that the security is such a critical matter that however, that wall is paid for,

we need the security. we need to begin with security. we have a failed immigration policy under the last eight years of president obama. we have a lot of undesirable people here in the united states as e we saw in mr. trump's speech on immigration where he had those parents of children that were killed because of illegal immigrants that were incarcerated and sent back on the american streets. the problem is we have got to protect america. we have to defend the americans. i think mr. trump is the one willing and able to do so. >> the only way donald trump can have those conversations is if he were to be elected president and it's a long road to get there. you want to share with you donald trump responded on tw twitter to senator flake tweeting, kweet, the great state of arizona, where i just had a massive rally, amazing people, had a very weak and ineffective senator jeff flake. sad. donald trump needs to get elected. he needs to broaden out the

amount of people supporting him because whether he's getting closer in the polls or not to hillary clinton, he's still behind. why is picking a fight on twitter the right move. should this candidate not be focused on the issues, the issues that you say are so important? >> i really can't address why mr. trump or what he was thinking when he put forth that tweet. i do believe he's focused. the last three weeks have indicated he's focused about the issues that are very important to us as americans right now. the problem with the failed eight years of the obama administration and quite frankly the serious issues we should all be talking about of mrs. clinton's failure to show 17,000 e-mails and we now find out that we're over eight cell phones and five ipads, two of which one of her aids were instructed to destroy. we have such a serious problem

of credibility where hillary clinton is more concerned about the finances of the clinton foundation than about the security of our nation. >> hillary clinton has issues she needs to address, but more than just getting people to dislike or to shine a light on hillary clinton, donald trump needs people to go out in november and vote for him. he's raised these issues about immigration in a big way, but we don't know his actual policy. does that not give you pause? >> again, he's outlined ten major concerns in his immigration speech. i think they were substantiate. he's also expressed a softening regarding the undocumented that are here, that are good people. after the securing of the borders, after the criminal elements that are here being deport ed, i think he understans the issues and that he's working towards substantiate policy.

we can say the same thing. what happened during the first two years of president obama's administration where and we saw nothing. the only time we hear the democrats are concerned about immigration is on the eve of an election. hispanics are starting to feel as pawns for the democratic party. it's time to address the issues head on and solve the problems that we all have here in our nation. >> pastor, thank you for joining me this afternoon. >> thank you. now we're going to show you a quick live look at cincinnati, ohio. former president bill clinton on the stage. there he is in a little labor day plaid. he's taking the stump for his wife as she and her running mate tim kaine hit the trail in cleveland. straight ahead, we're covering a lot more of this. we're going to take you overseas. a staredown in china. president obama and russian president vladimir putin, an unplanned meeting, but a face to face. they were unable to see eye to

eye on the syrian crisis. we'll take you back it the hill. two chambers, one goal of keeping the government funded. can congress get it done when they return to work? i need to get on their vacation schedule. to basic banking, but that is changing. at temenos, with the microsoft cloud, we can enable a banker to travel to the most remote locations with nothing but a phone and a tablet. everywhere where there's a phone, you have a bank. now a person is able to start a business, and employ somebody for the first time. the microsoft cloud helped us to bring banking to ten million people in just two years. it's transforming our world.

races in the past. >> tragedy in israel. rescue workers are racing to find survivors after a building collapse in tel aviv. two are dead and 17 injured after the accident at a construction site. soldiers have rescued five civilians from the scene. and congress will return to this week for a shortened session during election season. the priority for the house and the senate is passing a stopgap spending measure to keep the government running past october 1st. funding the battle against zika virus will also be one of the topics of debate this session. and there are just 64 days until we hit the polls. and this labor day donald trump and hillary clinton are hitting the trail full salespeopteam ah. independents to win over, the democratic nominee calling on senator bernie sanders today for help in the final stretch. >> there should be no doubt on

anybody's mind as to whether hillary clinton is the superior candidate because in every respect she is. hillary clinton is your candidate. name the third president?

the next two months for these candidates. joining me to discuss it all from sloous is ed martin, trump supporter and gop chairman and the co-author of "the conservative case for trump." and bob shrum. gentlemen, 64 days away from the election. i want to start with you, bob. where does the clinton campaign stand right now? where do they need to go in this final stretch. >> they are in a strong position. you look at the krbs estimate on electoral votes right now. it's 341. basically, hillary clinton has a lot of ways to 270. trump virtually has to run the table to get there. and i don't think so far he's figured out how to help himself. the immigration stunt last week backfired badly when he gave that speech in phoenix. karl rove said you have to get 40% of the his ppanic vote if you're a republican to get

elected. maybe it's 35%. trump is well below that in the new poll that i have seen he's getting about 19% and that was before that speech. so i think he's got some formidable obstacles. hillary clinton has to perform well in those debates. she has to beat the expectations game. and i think she's probably work ing very hard on it. >> same question to ed. but the trump camp. even if donald trump has been gaining ground in terms of popularity, when you look at electoral votes, when you look at the ground game she has in place versus donald trump, does he understand how campaigns run here? >> well, that's the second question. back to the first one if you don't mind. what we see in politics, momentum matters. you don't want to peak in august. you want to peak in november. what you're seeing with trump, you're seeing a guy whose campaign in trump has gotten stabilized. the momentum is in his direction. on labor day it's apropos to point out trump's message on

immigration and trade is a message that workers, the reason we have labor day, workers and unions understand. that's why you're seeing a shift. i think the campaign is no doubt the clintons have been running for president as a team for 25, 30 years. they have been active in the inner workings of politics. but what you're seeing is a guy, a president, a candidate, it's always a choice. trump is giving a choice that i think more and more americans are looking up at and saying that may not be perfect, but that's a fresh choice. that's a a fresh set of issues and that's why you're seeing the momentum in his direction. the momentum is back in trump's direction. we'll see if clinton can do something to stop that. >> but would you say that momentum is making his core base louder and more enthusiastic and devoted to him, or is he broadening out that base chrks is what he needs to do to win an election. >> it's a great point. we wrote the book. because we have to assure and get conservatives to understand

why trump works for them. so that's something that needs to be done. it is being done. especially when it comes to judges. i rode in a cab to st. louis. the cab driver, an african-american guy, was talking about how people misunderstand everybody when we're in certain groups. there's a lot of people looking up at trump and saying, that guy went and stood in a church. i know people say it's photo ops. politics is about perception. i think when it comes to working people, trade, immigration, trump is is making a different impressi impression. it's a choice. it's not who is perfect. again, i think trump is making that impression really well. >> it's not necessarily hillary or trump. donald trump needs people to go out and vote for him. if we get a low voter turnout, if people go for an alternative candidate, that doesn't bode well for trump. he's an outsider here. >> hillary has a problem with

african-americans that's being talked about on "the times." they don't trust her to be on their side. trump has to win. but trump is making an argument. a lot of them with different backgrounds. your clip from bernie sanders. bernie sanders' voters may go where he says, but a lot of people are saying, of the two, who is is on our side. trump is making that argument. i think he's winning that argument, which is why you're seeing the numbers ching. >> some of those voters we're talking about are being pulled from hillary clinton and they are going with guys like gary johnson. does hillary clinton need to do something with that community that donald trump is pointing the finger saying democrats have taken them for granted. they are underserved. does she need to refocus her efforts in the next two months. >> all this talk about a shift is fantastic.

there's no great shift in this race. if you look at the battleground states, she has huge advantages as i pointed out. the last time phillies wrote a book about a presidential campaign, it was predicting that goldwater was going to get elected. hillary clinton she's wrong then and she's wrong now. they have to change the dynamics and go into that debate and do something i don't think he can do. show he's knowledgeable, calm, can pass the threshold as commander-in-chief. he still loses, but by less of a margin. let's not make up stuff. the fact of the matter is that african-americans, 2% of them, 3% of them in these polls are supporting donald trump. >> gentlemen, there's one debate that we need to end. it's the one between the two of you. we have to take a commercial break. thank you both for joining me.

>> thank you. next, we're going to continue this focus, an in-depth look at donald trump's attempt to court african-american voters. the gop nominee in detroit in an effort to turn the tide and expand his base. did his message hit home, did it work? that's next right here on msnbc. >> we're one nation and when anyone hurts, we all hurt together. that's so true. so true. we're all brothers and sisters and we're all created by the same god.

people feel shortchanged? >> what you understand is that moral dissent and challenging all our leaders is a part of particularly the african-american experience in this country. when president obama ran, i remember when someone asked, he said martin lieutenauther king push him. the record is clear in ways he has brought unemployment down in the african-american community. he's helped bring more than 3 million african-americans who did not have health insurance. these are working poor people. he's fell the backlash. congress refused to fix the voting rights act for more than three years over 1,000 days.

they only filibustered the civil rights act for 24 hours. so you have to put all that in context. but i'm glad that young adults are saying we must push all politicians. >> do you think donald trump had any level of success in detroit this weekend? it's a struggling city. while you said that president obama did bring the unemployment rate down, it's still twice as high among african-americans as it is the caucasian community. >> they are represented in so-called red states.

like the party of lincoln. in that speech, he talked ant jobs coming back from mexico. but his own tax plan would not allow that because the revenues would not be there and they would take us back into the recession like we got under george bush. >> thank you so much for joining me this afternoon in sharing your thoughts. i appreciate it. >> thank you so much. take care. after the break, a bittersweet celebration celebrating the tragic, tragic events of a boy who died. tons turned out for the boy killed by an alligator in florida. his parents speak iing out for e first time since their loss. stay with us. re you are building a jet engine.
