xpand your office and take on whatever comes next. find out how american express cards and services can help prepare you for growth at open.com. campaign chaos. how low will trump go to bounce back from the last debate? >> impeachment for lie. remember that? the clintons are the sordid past. also, time to step up. the running mates get ready for their debate with america watching. we'll also go inside trump's fox news bubble and talk to the young girl whose powerful statement on charlotte brought many to tears. >> we shouldn't have to protest because y'all are treating us wrong. we do this because we need to and have rights. >> all that, plus a year's worth of highlights from the sunday edition of "politics nation." >> i think it's time to turn up

the heat. >> tell wall street, enough is enough. >> any surprises that we can look for in the debate? just between us? >> just between us. good morning, i'm al sharpton. two days from the vice presidential debate and seven days from the next presidential debate. the question is, will the coming week be as bad for donald trump as the past one? since the debate he's gone back to sounding off, threatening to go low with the clintons. >> hillary clinton said some horrible and false things about me, and i would have had the right to have done it, and he's a member of the campaign. it's not like he's not campaigning. >> why would that reflect on hillary clinton anyway? >> well, you'll have to figure that out. i think it's pretty simple to figure that out. >> years and decades of clinton

corruption and scandal. corruption and scandals. the clintons are the sordid past. >> trump also spent the week attacking the former miss universe for her weight and alleging that she filmed a, quote, sex tape. and now, a series of new polls from key battleground states show clinton is leading, and she's made trump's twitter attacks a part of her counterpunch. >> who gets up at 3:00 in the morning to engage in a twitter attack against a former miss universe? i mean, he hurled as many insults as he could. really, why does he do things like that? i mean, his latest twitter meltdown is unhinged, even for him.

>> joining me now, democrat from new york, carolyn maloney, a clinton supporter whose district includes trump tower. thank you for being here, congresswoman. >> thank you for having me, and i'm feeling so good about my candidate. i was there for the debate. she was confident, she was substantiative, she was positive. she had solutions and a vision of where we need to go together as a nation, stronger together with our allies. i gave her an a-plus, and i don't understand why she's not 20 points ahead in the polls. >> i'm going to get to that. >> she should be 20 points ahead. not just five and ten. >> you've been a very successful congresswoman, really applauded by many of your constituents down through the years, and lawmakers like to help out their constituents. what advice would you give your

constituent donald trump, who lives in your district? >> i would say that everyone should listen to the candidates and not listen so much to what they say, but what they've done. the comparison between the accomplishments of mrs. clinton, of secretary clinton, are phenomenal. >> what about trump, if you could talk to donald trump, you'd say what? donald trump -- >> i would say, donald trump, you should endorse hillary clinton. we are stronger together, we're all new yorkers. let's all work together for the same goal. i tell you, you can say a lot of things about this campaign, al, but one thing you can say, it's not boring. i wake up every day and wonder what is he going to do today that is unhinged. i tell you, twittering against a miss universe at 3:00 in the morning is really, really unhinged and crazy. >> is this the campaign's worst

fear, he's become unhinged, off script? >> it makes absolutely no sense. number one, he's not running against her. if he was, i tell you, i don't understand it. i don't understand why he would be doing such a thing, and it's anti-woman, it's anti- -- it's disrespectful. there's nothing to admire in the way he's asking and the way he's talking, and the way -- even in his career, what's he done to help people? what's his vision for tomorrow? even in his speeches he talks about how horrible everything is in america. we have challenges, right, but we work together to overcome them and move forward. >> he's even said now as we head toward the second debate in a week, he's even implied he may get into personal attacks on even bill clinton. will that back fire on him, congresswoman? >> i certainly think america wants to hear about the future, what you've done, what you're going to do, what are your

positions, what are your solutions, and that's what you hear from secretary clinton. i love reading her position papers. i work in government, so i want to hear solutions. and they are thoughtful. after we had that terrible attack, it was in my district about two weeks ago when 27 people were hurt by the bomber, within one day she came out with a list of ag things to do to fight homeland security, to make our people safer and stronger, an intelligence surge to understand and have better intelligence to prevent it. working with all these new high-tech firms and to try to combat their twitter wars and their ability to recruit and to communicate with terrorists. so i love the way she has solutions and how her position papers are always thoughtful, and i like the way she listens. when she ran for senator, she

began her campaign by going all across our great state. >> listening tour. >> listening to people. she loves listening to people and hearing their concerns. i think she will be an inclusive, a prepared, and a great president. and as president obama says, she's the best prepared person in his lifetime to run for this important office. so i would urge everyone, including mr. trump, to vote for her. >> congresswoman carolyn maloney, thank you for your time. >> thank you for yours and your leadership. thank you. now let's bring in rick tyler, former ted cruz campaign communications director and now an msnbc political contributor. thank you for being here, rick. >> hey, rev. >> let me ask you, had congresswoman maloney on. let me ask you, if you were advising donald trump, what would you be telling him after this week that has not been a good week for him? >> that he needs to focus on the issues, that he should focus on the things that people are upset

about hillary clinton, which have to do with her e-mail, her secret server, the middle east, her record as secretary of state, her record with the clinton foundation. there's plenty of things to go on secretary clinton on, and stay disciplined and articulate a vision for the campaign and show people you have a plan to get there. i think more than anything, rev, he's got to prove to be presidential and people's biggest concern about him is his temperament, yet day after day after day he continues to prove that he does not have the temperament that requires to be president of the united states. >> is that the biggest obstacle, rick, to his supporters and advisers, is his lack of discipline, that he seems to not be able to stay on message for any long period of time? >> i don't know about his supporters, i argue with his supporters all day long on various social media and they are definitely continuing to support him. my point is, as he's a horribly

flawed republican candidate who can't stay on message, can't put points on the board against hillary clinton, can't debate hillary clinton, can't articulate a cohesive foreign policy, domestic policy. some of his economic policies i actually like and could support, but on the whole, donald trump is just continued to fail as a candidate. i say that as a practitioner, as a political practitioner, he's a failing candidate and every day is getting later and later. >> let me bring in, before we run out of time, early last spring he started making some very low level attacks on bill clinton. let me show you what i mean. >> i watch hillary clinton, the way he talks to women, the way he talks to women. take a look at her husband and what do you think he talks to women? >> she's married to a man who was the worst abuser of women in the history of politics, and

hillary was an enabler and she treated these women horribly. >> in one case it's about exposure and another case it's about groping and fondling and touching against a woman's will. >> and rape. >> and rape. >> if he were to revive those attacks, what would be the impact, rick? >> well, all you have to do is look at the past record on this and we litigated this all through the 1990s, rev, you were there. it didn't help the republicans much. i sincerely doubt it's going to help the republicans today. in any case, what's this have to do with hillary clinton? he keeps saying hillary clinton did terrible things to these women. well, i haven't seen any video on that. haven't heard anything on it. until we see that, but i don't understand, rev, how this helps and benefits his candidacy. are americans really going to decide who their next commander in chief is, leader of the free world is, based on whether a

former miss universe gained 55 pounds or 18 pounds? it's really beyond the pale. >> talking about let's go to another type of video, because there was a video of mr. trump's deposition, it was released, where he answered questions about calling some mexican immigrants, quote, rapists. watch this. >> with respect to the speech that you made and specifically the focus on mexicans and immigrants, did you write the statement in advance? was it written? >> no. >> and did you plan in advance what you were going to say? >> yes. >> now, for the campaign, for the trump campaign, is this a double whammy for the clinton campaign, where, number one, they remind voters about what he said in the speech about mexicans and they show a video of the candidate they are opposing being deposed?

>> well, the, you know, if you go back to what he said about the indiana american judge of mexican descent, yes, this is going to remind them of what they said. and, you know, donald trump needs to peel off as many people from hillary clinton as possible, that would include latinos, african-americans, and millennials and he's doing -- and women, and he's doing none of the above. and the question is, is there really enough angry white men out there to make donald trump president? i think donald trump in this case, and particularly with the miss universe, has really become a punch line and he's really become a laughing stock. that's very hard to recover from, and i think this week's "new yorker" cover sort of is emblematic of that, showing donald trump as a beauty pageant queen. >> i'm going to have to leave it there. that cover, though, does say a lot. rick tyler, thank you for your time this morning. >> thanks, rev.

next -- donald trump hides inside the right wing media bubble. what it means for his campaign. plus, what to expect from a vp debate. and we'll hear from the girl in charlotte who spoke out and made america listen. >> it's a shame that our fathers and mothers are killed and we can't see them anymore. cure cancer million? far off. liver disease treatment. that by voting yes on prop 61 - costs. dollars pass. don't let that happen. it - because one day it might.

over the past few weeks, donald trump has retreated into a fox news bubble. he's gone on fox 13 times overall. while going on other national tv networks just twice. and since july 27th, he hasn't

held a single news conference. in that same period, clinton has held ten media briefings. for trump, fox is a safe space, where he's always a winner. before the debate, trump was on fox falsely claiming that nbc's lester holt is a democrat and saying most of the other moderators are biased. >> by the way, lester's a democrat. >> i didn't know that. >> it's a phoney system. lester's a democrat. >> anderson kecooper, you okay with him, or no? >> no, because i think he treats me very unfairly. >> chris wallace, he's fair, right? >> he's fair, he's tough, he's fair. i don't mind, as long as he's fair and i've done a lot of work with chris and never had a problem with him. >> all right. >> that's right, the only moderator trump thinks is fair and balanced is from fox.

joining me now is eric boehlert, senior fellow at media matters for america. thank you for being here. >> thanks for having me. >> eric, why has trump retreated to this fox news bubble? >> i think the main reason he can't answer a lot of questions, right, he can't, as we saw during the debate, questions about his tax returns, questions about the trump foundation, question about why he's a admirer of vladimir putin. fox news don't ask him about his tax returns and the trump foundation. they love vladimir putin on fox news, so he's retreated to this bubble. last press conference, late july, was the one where he seemed to encourage russians to 5:00 democratic e-mails. that was the last time he stood before the reporters and took their questions. so fox is a place where you can be safe, you're always ahead, always winning. the problem is we saw in the debate he wasn't ready for any tough questions. if you just get softball

questions for two months, you're not ready for a national debate. >> that really does prepare you, but at what cost, what is the cost of him only going on fox and avoiding other media? i mean, didn't romney try that? >> he tried it, but not to this extent. if you were still running for the republican primary nominee, this would be a really smart strategy, right, sort of superserve the republican base on fox, but if you're running for the white house and the fall campaign, there's no persuadable voters on fox news. they are already there. so it's just sort of this feel good exercise that you're detached from the reality of american politics. where he's got to be getting votes, those people aren't wa h watching fox news. he won them nine months ago. he doesn't have to persuade them. >> talking about fox news, sean hannity, the "new york times" reported he sent trump a memo about how to respond to the

orlando nightclub attack and then had trump on his show. watch this. >> why can't the president and hillary clinton utter the words "radical islamic terrorism"? >> well, they can, but they choose not to, and a lot of people don't understand why. sean, hillary clinton, especially in these times, will be a terrible president. her secret service agent said she's a disaster, total disaster. >> now, hannity appeared in a pro trump ad. is he effectively part of the trump campaign at this point? >> well, sean hannity, who said moments after the debate donald trump had a very good night, right, so sean hannity is basically de facto trump spokesperson. we can get into the bizarre overlaps between fox news and the trump campaign, sean hannity being one, roger ailes now advising the trump campaign,

then we have a fox anchor that's going to host one of the debates and says he's not going to fact check donald trump, so it's a very strange mix. sean hannity, you know, he's sort of beyond being a journalist, he's clearly just a spokesperson and she's given trump tens of millions of dollars in free tv air time. >> all right, eric boehlert, thank you for your time this morning. >> my pleasure. ahead, can mike pence answer for trump? can tim kaine defend clinton? two days from the vice presidential debate, our panel weighs in. it begins from the second we're born. because, healthier doesn't happen all by itself. it needs to be earned every day. using wellness to keep away illness. and believing a single life can be made better by millions of others. as a health services and innovation company optum powers modern healthcare by connecting every part of it. so while the world keeps searching for healthier

and the whole bit? >> mike pence as a radio host back in the '90s talking about the clinton scandals of the day. he may get another chance on tuesday night, when he and tim kaine face off in the first and only vice presidential debate. millions of curious people will tune in. after all, 28% of voters don't know enough about pence to have an opinion of him. 27% say the same about cain. pence will likely be put on the spot, made to answer for trump's controversial statements. here's how he's done it in the past. >> are you comfortable with things like the campaign selling buttons and other things that say "liar," "hillary for prison." >> i have my own style and donald trump has his own style. >> why would you want voters to

think you don't pay taxes? why would you want to leave that impression? >> this is a businessman. >> he's not been consistent on this issue what to do. >> i think donald trump's been completely consistent. >> lyin' ted and low energy jeb and crooked hillary, is that not dicey territory, rhetorically, for you? >> he and i have different styles, he's new york, i'm indiana. >> joining me now is matt welch, editor at large of "reason" magazine. and corrin jean-pierre from moveon.org. former deputy battleground states director for the obama campaign. thank you both for being here. >> thank you, reverend. >> so, matt, answering for donald trump, is that the toughest job in politics right now? >> it's going to be really tough for mike pence, because i think tim kaine is going to drill down areas not just on style, but more on substance.

pence for a long time has been a big free trader, for example, a standard issue kind of conservative and donald trump has been running the most unorthodoxed campaign from a traditional conservative, especially economic point of view, so tim kaine has a chance to say, look, you don't believe this, that's not your whole career, you're changing in order to sell out. that's a difficult position to get himself out of. >> is it the toughest job? >> absolutely the toughest job, reverend. look, i would not want to be mike pence on tuesday. look, not only does he have to defend donald trump's outrageous comments over his lifetime, donald trump's lifetime, but also the sexist comments that donald trump not only doubled down on, but tripled down on this past week. also you got to think about this, too, in the debate you don't want to be on the defense. you want to be on the offense. and that's where mike pence is going to be on the debate stage. >> not a one-way street, because

we're also going to have tim kaine having to deal with some of the controversies around mrs. clinton. tim kaine has fielded questions about clinton. let's watch that. >> you have to defend hillary, because that's your job. do you feel bad for mike pence that he has to defend -- >> it is part of the role. i don't find that a heavy lift at all. >> when you look at what she said over the past year or so about her e-mail, i can count at least four statements that turned out not to be true. has she earned that mistrust? >> savannah, if you ask somebody a question 150 times or 200 times, you're going to be able to find they don't use exactly the same word every time. >> a trustworthiness issue with secretary clinton. how do you govern if the public doesn't trust you? and if they don't trust you, how do you restore the trust? >> chuck, i'm not assuming that's going to be the case even a month from now. >> corrin, how's he handling it?

how's his approach compared to the approach of his vice presidential opponent mr. pence? >> look, i love tim kaine and i think he's a really great guy, which is the advantage that he has, right, he's looked at more like the everyday guy on that matchup, on that stage, and what he needs to do is make sure he couples that with substance and i think he'll do really well. and make sure that he keeps pence on his heels, right, say to him, hey, what do you have to say about what trump said about x, y, and z. there's such a long list. >> how does he handle, matt, the obligations and the things they are going to raise from e-mails, back to bill clinton in the '9 0z, how's he handle it? >> he hasn't handled it particularly well from my point of view so far, because it's a difficult thing to say nothing all that bad happened with the e-mails and the fbi director comey said basically everything's fine. hillary clinton's own statements about this haven't been very

believable or they've colored outside the lines and he's had to follow her up on that. so mike pence, i think, will look for any opportunity to jump on that. what i suspect tim kaine will do is change the subject. mike pence is going to try to make this whole thing about hillary clinton. the trump campaign, that's when they do will, when it's not about them. i think tim kaine will probably turn it right back around on pence and not just make it about trump, but pence's social conservative, because even though trump is not running a conservative campaign, pence is a pretty traditional so-con right now. >> he has his own issues as governor with the lead poison in east chicago, with the lgbt community. what kind of viewing audience do you think they are going to have? some say it's going to be a sleeper, it's dull, compared to having trump and clinton. others are saying this could be surprising. >> look, i don't think it's going to be the 84, 88 million

viewership that we saw on monday for sure, but i did want to talk a little about, you know, the trustworthiness you were eluding to there, reverend. look, on monday, millions of people who did not watch, who have not been paying attention to the election, were paying attention on monday for the first time and what they saw was preparedness. she lambasted donald trump and it was clear that she was -- that she was ready for the job interview and he was not. so i think that's really a momentum that tim kaine has going into his own debate. >> all right. stay with me. i've got more to ask you about. next -- trouble ahead for hillary clinton. can the obamas help inspire the base? plus, a young girl in charlotte who spoke for millions and all the highlights from the past year of the new "politics nation". cure cancer million? far off. liver disease treatment. that by voting yes on prop 61 - costs. dollars pass. don't let that happen. it - because one day it might.

houston: mission allergy escape. for those who've gone to extremes to escape their unrelenting nasal allergy symptoms... houston: news alert... new from the makers of claritin, clarispray. ♪ welcome back. clarispray is a nasal allergy spray that contains the #1 prescribed, clinically proven ingredient. nothing is more effective at relieving your sneezing, runny nose and nasal congestion.

return to the world with new clarispray. it's been a bad week for donald trump, but hillary clinton still has some potential problems ahead, especially with young voters. she gets 49% of the youth vote in our latest nbc polling, but president obama got 60% back in 2012. the truth is, a good chunk of the obama coalition just isn't that inspired by her right now. and you can hear that when you listen to her surrogates on the trail. >> the notion somehow that well, you know, i'm not as inspired because barack and michelle, they are not on the ballot this time, you know, maybe we kind of take it easy. my legacy's on the ballot. >> i know a lot of students on campus are frustrated, and i

know they are not overjoyed about the choices. >> remember, it's not about voting for the perfect candidate, there is no such person. >> back with me now are matt welch and corrin jean-pierre. matt, have you ever heard that kind of language from surrogates for a candidate? >> it's interesting. i'm sure that there have been, but it's really stark to be reminded of this. gary johnson, libertarian, is polling better in some cases than donald trump among 18 to 24 year olds, millennials right now. there is a $55 million campaign bankrolled by tom stier to scare millennials into voting for hillary clinton. millennials are more independent than democrats are used to and are comfortable with. >> with this less than 40 days out to the election, is it better now to go to strategies, corrin, like scaring millennials or saying the issues are more important, as first lady

michelle obama said, and not make an issue out of selling mrs. clinton to millennials, since she has been cast as an establishment figure, whether that's fair or unfair? >> look, you do have to talk about the issues when it comes to millennials. there's a reason why a 70-year-old man from vermont, senator, was able to resinate with that community. >> 74. >> you're right, 74. the reason why is because he talked about climate change, he talked about income inequality, college affordability, and they really galvanized for him and came out. she does need to do that, exactly what she did earlier this week with sanders in new hampshire, which has earned the vote of millennials, because without that, that could be a problem for her. >> what about the larger obama coalition, minorities and others? the excitement doesn't seem to be there as much either. >> i think that you'll see tim kaine try to play into that by making mike pence wear trump's

comments on things. remember tim kaine -- >> stop and frisk. >> birther movement, i know that's insulting our first black president. >> also, the only thing i would advise, and i don't advise either campaign, but if someone had to ask, had raised it to me, let me put it that way, because i have been in debates, is i think you can see too much. when trump and the republicans talk about the last 30 years, well, if you look at the last 30 years, half of that we were under reagan, bush, and bush. >> exactly. >> they were not in charge, the democrats, the last 30 years, the whole 30 years. >> it's a scare tactic, that's what it is, that's what donald trump -- how he got to be the nominee, playing on the fears of voters. >> all right. i'm going to have to leave it there. corrin and jack, thank you for joining me. still ahead, our special interview with a young girl in charlotte who stood up and spoke

the deadly shooting of keith lamont scott has kept the spotlight on issues of racial justice. hillary clinton is expected to travel to charlotte to discuss concerns about the shooting, but one voice has risen above the noise. at the very first city council meeting after the shooting, 9-year-old ziana had an emotional plea to officials. >> i come here today to talk

about how i feel, and i feel like that we are treated differently than other people, and i don't like how we're treated. just because of our color doesn't mean anything to me. i believe that we are black people and we shouldn't have to feel like this. we shouldn't have to protest because y'all are treating us wrong. we need to have and rights. it's a shame that our fathers and mothers are killed and we can't see them anymore. it's a shame that we have to go to the graveyard and bury them. and we have fears and we shouldn't have tears. we need our fathers and mothers to be by our side.

>> those powerful words came just a week after scott's wife recorded this cell phone footage. moments before her husband was shot and killed by police. scott's family say videos released by police so far don't prove he was armed, but police say a gun found at the scene has his fingerprints and dna. joining me now are precious olifant and her daughter ziana. thank you, first of all, for being on the show. >> thank you for having us. >> why did you want to speak at the meeting? >> well, the reason why i wanted to speak at the meeting is because i knew that, like, grownups and children wouldn't do it, so i just took the courage and did it and stood up for our community.

>> now, i told you i started off as a little boy preaching, but you have a lot more nerve than i did. i'm going to ask you this, because everybody used to say this to me, no one told you to go speak, no one told you what to say? is that right? >> no. yes. >> and the words that you were saying, you weren't reading, this was all coming from your heart. >> yes. >> why, what was making you -- what made you feel like you had to say this, and what were you thinking about when the words were coming out? >> well, what made me want to say it is like i said, it was a shame we have to feel like this, so i just stood up for our community and i hope it does something to the community. >> were you nervous at all?

>> i was kind of nervous. no, i wasn't nervous at all. >> what do you hope the people in that hearing and the people in the city council, what do you hope they learn from what you had to say? >> i hope they learn their lesson, because like little kids are seeing this and we shouldn't have to see it, so i hope they learn their lesson and stop killing us black people. >> what do you say as advice to other young kids who may be scared to speak up, but that are really concerned about their future? what advice would you say to them that are watching you on television? >> well, i would say to them is have courage in yourself and do it, because you know it's right, so just do it and just hope it changes the world. >> what do you want to be as you grow older? >> well, it's like -- i don't know right now, because it's

like a whole like a lot of stuff that i want to be. i want to be a lawyer, i want to be a doctor. i might want to be a president. >> you want to be a lawyer, a daughter, a president, and you're 9 years old. you know what, i believe you can be anything you want to be. let me talk to your mom. i mean, i'm sure she amazed you when she stepped forward, or didn't it amaze you, i should ask. >> it definitely amazed me. we would have always been in conversation. i let them know exactly what's going on, however, until the night of the council meeting when she actually spoke, i didn't know that she -- her hurt ran so deeply. >> now, why do you think it affected her so deeply and your family so deeply? >> well, for a long time we lived in a neighborhood that was

a low income based community, and typically that's where you see high crime. that's a high crime area, and just on ordinary days we would see our people being harassed. we ourselves have been pulled over by police for no reason at all. everyone thinks our children are blind and not aware as to what is going on. as you can see, as zianna expresses her feelings to the world, our children are paying close attention. they are our futures. we have to lift them up so they can be our future board members running our local affairs, as well as national, if need be. >> now, i understand your children are involved in the police league, in the police youth league, so these are young people you're raising trying to do the right thing. >> absolutely.

absolutely. they are involved with the police league, where they spend at least four to five out of seven days out of the week together. these police officers are very uplifting, they have been encouraging them. if i have a problem with either one of them in school, i am able to communicate that with the coach, and we together as partners will come up with a solution as to how we are going to change this problem, whatever that could be, but it's definitely a team. they are very hands on with the children, and the way that they are looking out for them is absolutely amazing. i definitely commend them. they are not paid for their services, as well. >> well, i commend you and zianna, you know, you got to come to new york and visit me. i'll show you the sights and

talk about how we're going to help you be the president one day. zianna and precious, thank you so much for your time this morning. and thank you, zianna, for speaking out. you're very brave, be encouraged. >> thank you. you're welcome. we also have a quick update on the shooting in tulsa, oklahoma. officer betty shelby was arraigned on friday on first-degree manslaughter charges for the death of terence crutcher. she pled not guilty. i joined crutcher's family in tulsa last week to lead a rally for peace and justice. after the break, we'll look back on a wild year on the sunday edition of "politics nation". woah! you're not taking these. hey, hey, hey! you're not taking those. woah, woah! you're not taking that. come with me. you're not taking that. you're not taking that. you're not taking that.
