let's hand it over to abby.ou go. >>> good morning, we have some headlines to get to. breaking overnight, a brutal animal attack at the baton rouge zoo leaving three beloved monkeys dead. two dogs were able to reach the monkeys and officials don't know where the dogs came from, how they got in or where they are now. so sad. >>> well, the university of albany dropping out of the basketball game against duke university in this fall's over governor cuomo's travel ban. they were to play as part of the hall of fame tip-off tournament and now no opponent listed on that day. >>> it's a movie stirring up a lot of controversy. >> we are going to approve once and for all that god is dead. >> mr. kane will insist faith isn't on trial here. but that's exactly what is on trial. >> well, now this billboard for the film "god's not dead 2" banned from appearing outside the republican national convention. it says i'd rather stand with god and be judged by the world than stand with the world and be judged by god. it was deemed to

abby, i want to shift to you. we know trust has been an issue with secretary clinton.lling, a lot of voters struggling to trust her. what's her strategy on this issue of improving race relations? >> a lot of the trust issue, especially that's showing up in the polls relate to the timing of the fbi director's comments of her handling of the e-mail issue. on race relations, i think hillary clinton has been trying very hard to be as frank as possible, to sort of address those african-americans by saying she understands where they're coming from, but also addressing white americans as a white person herself and basically asking them to do a little bit more. it's challenging for her because i think that there's so much distrust between the two sides. and she also leans on president obama quite a bit to do some of that. and that's one of the things that we'll likely see today as she's in springfield, a place that has a lot of symbolism for the president as well. she leans on him for the sort of guidance of how to frame this in the context of history and other civil rights mo

abby, do you want to chime in on that? >> well, this is just another flow donald trump.y almost publicly trotted him out potentially as a vice presidential -- >> yes, in fact. >> and i think for donald trump doing these very public vice presidential tryouts has its pitfalls, and this is clearly one of them. >> it'll be newt gingrich tonight, chris christie took a shot from hillary clinton today here in new jersey, but it has been a very public blowout, we expect that something will happen by next week that he really is looking for a running mate before the convention the following week. >> yeah, and honestly, andrea, corker, i always thought, and i think was always on the outskirts of any kind of short list. you saw yesterday in north carolina if you watched or read the coverage, very awkward, sort of combo of donald trump and bob corker. they are stylistically, radically different and on policy radically different. i was amazed that corker was in the mix. and christie, gingrich, pence, you know, all of those folks are similar in terms of their approach, and corker is no
