7:04 am
in mexico city and then here talking about border walls and nasty deportation that trump supporti supporters come to love and ended with a flirtation with a softer immigration policy. >> anyone who has entered the united states illegally is subject to deportation. >> reporter: in phoenix, donald trump promised mass deportations, but did not explain how he would do it. >> people will know can't just smuggle in, hunker down, and wait to be legalized. >> reporter: undocumented immigrants must return to their home country and apply for re-entry, trump said, vowing to subject new immigrants to ideology tests. >> it's our right as a sovereign nation to choose immigrants who they by are the likely to thrive and flourish and love us.

7:07 am
trump choked. that was the verdict from clinton's campaign chairman, after trump said he and mexican president pena nieto didn't get into a key topic. when the mexican president contradicted trump, the clinton amended its statement. it turns out trump didn't just choke, he got beat in the room and lied about it. >> you don't build a coalition by insulting our friends. >> reporter: inc she knows diplomats and trump isn't one of them. >> dropping in on our neighbors for a few hours and then flying home again, that is not how it works. >> reporter: her campaign noted that trump's flattery yesterday. >> mexicans are just beyond approach. >> reporter: doesn't match up with his own mass pronouncements like i want nothing to do with mexico. don't do business with mexico.

7:09 am
did he clear up his policy? >> well, on this specific question that was in doubt about whato do with the 11 million undocumented people in america, it was still a little bit confusing. during the primaries, he said they would be out of america so fast, it would make your head spin. he didn't say that. he talked about a deportation force, but just for those who had committed crimes beyond simply being in america illegally. but, basically, if you look at what he said, he is out of the country and then get in line behind those already waiting. then he was kind of fuzzy about what would happen if people did not self-deport. if they didn't self-deport, he said there would be no amnesty. if you add up what ed, presumably that would be some kind of force would deport as
7:10 am
donald trump perhaps in mexico, perhaps a softer side, a more diplomatic side, did last night's speech strike you as somehow a course correction for the base? >> well, it's -- yes. he is trying to ride two horses. on the one hand trying to be the donald trump of the primaries who is giving the base what they want in that rally in arizona. and then by going to mexico and being much more subdued, trying to show those particularly republican voters who think he that he can inhabit the presidency. hillary clinton has said he will go overseas and embarrass america. there is nothing he did particularly in his visit to mexico that was embarrassing. the problem is for voters, there is a long record of things that donald trump has said and so one press conference has to weigh against all of the footage that donald trump has created over his many years that makes those republicans nervous.
7:11 am
against trump's speech and his visit to mexico. what is her strategy behind this? >> the strategy is don't let donald trump pivot. don't let anything that might look presidential suggest that that is the essential trump or if there are two trumps, it's a part of a multifaceted character. her argument there is one trump and the trump who has said a number of things that people have found offensive, particularly those republican suburban voters, those college-educated voters that republicans usually get, find she wants to remind them of that and the way they have been doing it for weeks and are doing it again, even in the ad in arizona, is just replaying donald trump's words. >> john dickerson, good to see you and thank you for joining us. >> thanks. in our next half hour, we will talk to the democratic candidate for vice president, tim kaine about donald trump's immigration plan and what hillary clinton would do differently. that is ahead. tropical storm hermine intensified overnight in the

7:13 am
bands from tropical storm hermine pushed toward the sunshine state. >> a little nervous. a little more than a little nervous. >> this is my parking lot. i don't think i can park there. >> reporter: overnight in sarasota, voluntary evacuations under way and they were looking for anyone possibly trapped. >> officers were -- they were coming up to me and their gun belts were underwater and up to here under water. >> reporter: the storm has y already submerged streets in the town of gulf port and dumped more than 9 inches of rain on parts of the state. governor rick scott has declared a state of emergency in more than 50 florida counties. >> we have 8,000 members of our national guard that are prepared to be mobilized, but you, as an individual, have to do your part. three days of water and three days of food. if you think you need to go to a
7:14 am
closed today because they are expecting as much as 20 inches of rain and to make matters more difficult, there could even be tornadoes here in florida and in georgia. demarco? >> a dangerous combination. omar, thank you for that. meteorologist lissette gonzalez of our miami station wfor is tracking the storms. >> reporter: tropical storm hermine is strengthen the gulf of mexico and moving north/northeast and forecast to be a hurricane before mak landfall later today, tonight along the north florida coast and moving into southeast georgia and likening weakening to a tropical storm as it rises up the carolina coast and into the weekend we could see a depression or remnant area of low pressure off the mid-atlantic or northeast coast. now we are seeing a hurricane warning up for the path handle of florida and tropical storm warnings watches in place for the georgia/carolina coast. storm surge warning as well as as some areas along the big bend
7:15 am
rising up four to seven feet overground and flooding and flash flooding and 5 to 10 up to 15 inches of rain for portions of the panhandle and central florida and threat for tornadoes and up and down the atlantic seaboard. all eyes on hermine for the potential of heavy rain, gusty winds and rip currents and rough surf through the holiday weekend. >> thank you, lissette. president obama is in hawaii this morning. the president arrived at a military base on oahu yesterday ahead toward the island state. madeline down to a tropical storm and prompted big storms on hawaii. hurricane lester is barreling toward the eyelid and could make landfall this weekend. the u.s. is rejecting claims that russia killed a senior isis leader this week. the terror group says that it's chief strategist and spokesman abub mohammed al adnani was killed mere aleppo, syria.
7:16 am
killed in a precision air strike carried out by coalition forces. fran townsend is a former security visser to president george w. bush. good morning, fran. >> good morning. >> with regard to this claim, unus official called it quite simply a joke. what do you make of it? >> right. well, look. we ought to evaluate that based on the facts we know and, frankly, what we have seen from russia's involvement in syria is that they have spent their time in munitions and military might and going after civilians and supporting the assad regime. nothing to show they have the tactical precision to for an isis attack. >> they are trying to claim credit what would be a big blow to isis' sternal operations to date. just how big of this is a win for not only the u.s. but also
7:17 am
attacks? >> that's right. it's at least a temporary win. when we battled al qaeda that number three position, the director of external operations, at least temporarily disrupts their ability to conduct those kind of attacks. we ought to remember that adnani is responsible for external attacks causing 1800 deaths through europe and including some of the attacks in the united states like orlando and san bernardino. taking him out, at least remember, they will push somebody else up into that position and what you hope is, over time, if you keep targeting that person, that the person who is responsible for external operations becomes less experienced and less competent over time. >> fran, what does this tell us about the relationship between russia and the u.s. when it comes to the fight against isis? >> this has been, demarco, this has been an ongoing problem for the united states. we have many disagreements right now with russia, but probably
7:18 am
inside syria. they are unwilling to coordinate or cooperate with us and our goals are quite different. the u.s. made clear we do not support the assad regime and said it ought to go and russia has quite clearly said they do support him. as long as we have different goals there, this conflict, the real losers here are the syria civilians and people. >> a question about intelligence, fran. i mean, adnani is the number two or number u.s. air strike inside syria suggests our intelligence is pretty good, right? >> that's right. it's good and it's getting better and that ought to be a real concern. isis has lost substantial amounts of 40% of their territory inside syria. and so -- and iraq. yes, our intelligence is good and getting better. >> fran townsend, thank you. >> brazil ousted president is denouncing the senators who

7:35 am
secretary clinton's position. hillary's position is we need comprehensive reform. the basic pillars of reform are quite clear. we have to do things, first, to make sure that employers can verify the immigration status of people who are here. we have got to keep families together. that is a key priority. we have got to create a path for people who follow the laws and pay taxes over a long period of time to earn their way to citizenship. >> senator, would security. these were the things that the senate did in a bipartisan way in 2013 and for donald trump say that is open borders shows he hasn't even read the first thing about this bipartisan reform hillary is committed to doing a reform with -- >> reporter: does not mean you would grant work visas to these 11 million undocumented workers? >> the basic principles are these. if people are here and they are
7:36 am
following the law, and they are willing to work and basically come in into the light and follow all of the laws of this country and pay taxes, that over a period of a very long time, they could earn a path to citizenship. and that is an important thing, similar to what president reagan did in 1986. these are the basic principles of the plan we put in place. and, again, we did it in a bipartisan way in the senate three years ago, including funding for border security, but as y the house would not even take up the bill. we could have done this a long time ago. and we will push it in the first 100 days of a clinton administration. >> senator, i'd like to ask you about the visit that donald trump made to mexico yesterday. ed that the secretary was invited to mexico but didn't go. in fact, suggested that she didn't have the strength or the stamina for it very specifically. what did you make of that characterization?
7:37 am
she was speaking to the american legion in ohio, one of the nation's most prominent veterans group and she was talking about the role of america in the world. when hillary was doing that, donald trump paid a little, you know, fly-by to mexico. he walked into a meeting with the mexican president and after saying for months we are going to build a wall and mexico is going to pay for it, he just forgot to bring that up? no. he didn't have the guts to look the mexican president in the eye and bring up the central position in it was a diplomatic embarrassment and it shows the guy is not ready for prime time. >> senator, this was donald trump's meeting and opened up the floor to reporters to questions. the floor and take questions from reporters at any event? >> you see hillary take questions from reporters every day. she does -- she talks to the press everywhere she goes. she did a press conference. >> really? >> when she was at a recent --
7:38 am
she was at the recent meeting of the african-american and hispanic newspaper publishers. >> the first time in a long time, senator. she doesn't do it that often. >> well, look. i don't see what the massive difference is between a press conference and talking to the press everywhere you go. she talks to the press a lot. and i've been with her when she has talked to the press. >> but just to set the record straight, it has been 272 days since she has had a formal news conferen >> again, i think she did a news conference with the publishers of the nation african-american and hispanic newspapers within the last month and that counts. they are a legitimate group and a press conference with them counts. >> "the new york times" recently reported, this is true and i covered unlike any other presidential nominee in history, she is not allowing journalists to accompany her on the campaign
7:39 am
do you believe in transparency or do you believe this will change? >> well, i mean, just -- i'm going to use my own example. i'm traveling too and i travel in a small plane and the press travels in a plane with me. we are not on the plane together. but that is going to change in about a week. and i think that is fairly common during campaigns that you often fly in small planes and that you get to the end, you start flying in larger planes. i think that is something, yeah, as we get into the thick of the campaign in labor day, that is goto allowed the american press to go with him yesterday when he went to mexico. which was highly unusual. >> we look forward to that next press conference. senator tim kaine, we appreciate the time this morning. >> great. good to be with you guys. thanks. how long did city officials know about lead poisoning at an indiana public housing complex? ahead the efforts to help families move out of their homes to avoid further toxic contamination in one city.

charlie and gayle are off. donald trump traveled to mexico yesterday after days of questions about his hardline immigration policy and then he came back to the united states and threw aside any idea of the softer stance. this morning, three major newspapers highlight how trump's position on immigration is unchanged. >> major garrett has covered trump's campaign. >> anyone who has entered the united states illegally is subject to deportation. our country will be able to successfully assimilate. it's our right as a sovereign nation to choose immigrants that we think are the likeliest to thrive and flourish and love us. we will build a great wall along the southern border. and mexico will pay for the wall.
8:03 am
aliens. they want my first hour in office, those people are gone, day one. >> major garrett has covered trump's campaign from the beginning and is in phoenix and joins us again this morning. major, donald trump we just saw from that speech last night in phoenix, vastly different from the one we saw visit the mexico president in mexico city yesterday. what did you make in that change in tone through the day? >> well, look. two different goals for the cliche of political report to talk about candidates trying to appear presidential. cliches are intellectually lazy but contain a nugget of truth and every campaign tries to make a nominee look presidential, get the country comfortable with the optics of a candidate, a nominee on the world stage, which is exactly what trump tried to accomplish in mexico city yesterday and largely succeeded
8:04 am
show he is nimble he to these things and on short notice. what trump said here in phoenix yesterday, he went straight to his base and gave them all of the red meat they have been long attracted to in the trump campaign and cleared up any confusion whatsoever, as if he was tilting in a more moderate direction on immigration policy. he is not. has staked out the most aggressive policy both on illegal and legal immigration of any candidate in modern presidential history and that is where trump is going to have to day. >> major, we heard trump say they didn't discuss the border wall and then we heard the mexican president say, yes, the border wall came up and he told trump he wasn't going to pay for it. based on your reporting, what happened? >> reporter: trump simply doesn't recognize that which he doesn't want to hear and a negotiating ploy that trump often uses. he only recognizes what he says and takes what other people say that may conflict with that to himself, but doesn't reflect that in his conversations about
8:05 am
negotiating leverage because he not yet, if he ever will be, president of the united states. mexican president nieto has political base and what he has to be aware of which is why after trump left he made the point that mexico will never pay for the wall. >> major, thank you. many more u.s. passenger jets will soon start flying to cuba after yesterday's historic commercial flight to the island. the department of transportation gave approval wednesday for eight airlines to flight to flights may soon go to cuba's capital. for now airlines are going to smaller cities like santa clara where the first flight to cuban touched down yesterday and kris van cleave was the lucky guy and was on board and in santa clara. good morning, kris. >> reporter: good morning. silver airways is expected to begin its service to santa clara

8:08 am
>> reporter: when we talk about tourist infrastructure, we mean things like there aren't a lot of hotels here at santa clara, not a lot of mass transit and take the runway at the airport. there is about 500 feet of that runway we are told is out of service. our pilots yesterday said there was a truck parked to mark where that area ended and they had to fly over the truck and then land. josh? >> you're a braver man than any of us! but i'm guessing that is changing chris van kris van cleave, than that. a whole new reality for a group of people facing significant challenges. ahead, how seniors are adopting the cutting edge technology to bring back memories and to
