joining me is bob costa of "the washington post."e interviewed trump wednesday aboard his plane and writes about that conversation in today's "the washington post." headline "trump bullish on race, as race tightens." i am pleased to have bob costa back on this program. tell me what was significant and why did he tell you he wasn't going to speak out on the birther issue and then this morning he speaks out about it? >> trump is confident this moment. having covered him for quite some time, i've never seen him more bullish about his chances. spending ten hours on the campaign trail, i got the sense this is still donald trump, someone at the center of his campaign running on his instinct. when i heard kellyanne conway his campaign manager say about a week ago that donald trump now believes barack obama was born in the united states, i thought that's quite a change in position. i asked him in the course of a wide-ranging interview, what do you think of conway's statement, is it accurate, and we had a long exchange about it. he said he di

robert costa from "the washington post" in the room right now, rick tyler and bob shrum. costa, let me come back to you. this issue has been talked about a fair amount on social media. how much of this is simply donald trump beating his chest in front of his new big shiny building? >> i think we always need to remember about covering donald trump, even though he's the republican presidential come kne nominee, he continues to run the trump organization. he's presented with leases. he's still working with this company and also promoting his property. this is a salesman as well as a business owner and we saw the comments on the other network this morning. he said, i want to keep up the suspense about this issue. and this is what comes out of the reality television world. someone who understands hollywood, who sometimes lives by that maxim that as long as you're in the news or the headline, you're winning. so right now, trump has it all. he has his property debuting in dc. he's on every network. he's at the center. >> yunish, i think this bears repeating and delved into more.

i am pleased to have bob costa back on this program. welcome. >> great to be here. >> rose: here's what hay said in playbook this morning. just when the narrative was shifting hillary clinton's return to the campaign trail donald trump speaks. "the washington post" bob costa great friend of playbook is driving the news psych this will morning. he spoke to trump aboard his 757 as it idled on the tarmac at the canton, ohio airport for an hour during heavy traffic into la guardia. trump's tie was loose, and david bossy and stephen banion were signature nearby. there is the scene. tell me what it was significant and why hid he tell you he wasn't going to speak out on the birth or issue and then today this morning he speaks out about it? >> trump is very confident at this moment, having covered him quite some time, i've never seen him more bullish about his chances. he rev also in looking at the -- he revels in looking at the poll numbers. i got the sense this is still donald trump, the center of his campaign, running on instincts. when i he

first we talked to bob costa of is debate was trump's exchangey on his own tax returns because he has been able to really posture in this campaign as a working man's billionaire, as someone who's a brash political outsider, a disruption and a scene political people have become frustrated by. but on this idea he may not have paid tax or paid a low rate, it played into clinton's argument that he's not an outsider so much but comes out to have the republican mainstream tax cuts, protect the wealthy and she was able to make this more of a left-right debate than at any point in this campaign. >> rose: ed luce of the "new york times" and jon meacham, noted presidential historian. >> there are two numbers i think about in trying to describe why trump has happened. one is 19%. 19% of americans trust the government to do the right thing sommer most of the time, down from 77% in the middle of the 1960s. so few than one in five americans believe the federal government will do the right thing. the second number is 135,000, the number that joe biden's middle class task force a few years ago determ

not end with the game, it ended with everyone here yelling at me because i picked the broncos and bob costas walked over and said you picked the panthers how did that go? and i said get back behind your dad. >> we were misguided when it the broncos made huge comeback. >> pogrom -- broncos are 29-4 and 115 of the last 16 and i told woody and i thought they would win and they do things at home that do not make sense. sometimes with this bronco team it is easier to appreciate that explain. >> defensively they are as good as they were last year and we saw that in the first they were last year. >> on the offense they were efficient and that is all you really want. be offensi line -- the offense of line did a good job opening holes for cj anderson and i thought that the wide receivers were able to overcome the fact that they only had 2 tight ends in trevor siemian did exactly what john elway told him to do, keep playing and get past him and they did hip, what is the latest on this? >> we don't know about other than espn reported that he sent out the mri for a second opinion, there is something tha

obviously donald trump even in bob costa's interview is doing it recently. it's just -- the fact what are the odds that the person donald trump's running against, her supporters were entangled in this and actually started it? >> well, you know, i will accept politico's reporting that perhaps the birther thing may have started with or certainly took root with some diehard hillary supporters in the last throes of that campaign, but, you know, let's keep in mind, let's keep this in perspective, you know, any democrats stayed on this issue for about ten seconds, right? i mean, it was gone. donald trump has been a birther for years, and as far as we know, is still a birther, and we also should keep in perspective how many people, many african-america african-americans, many others read this issue, this sowing of suspicion over the president's birthplace which is an attempt to delegitimize the first african-american president and kind of pretend this whole black president thing never happened or never really happened. so, you know, the fact that it's being talked

bob costa of the washington post, back in a moment.tay with us. ♪ charlie: joining me now is that, he is covering the campaign for "the new york times ." donald trump gave a press conference. he spoke about the birther issue. what did he say? he's finally said that president obama was not born in this country. he said hillary clinton had spread the rumor in the first place and he has now got to the bottom of it. he seemed to have put it behind him without acknowledging his role in it in the first place. he has been hounded about it by the press. his campaign wanted to put it behind him. he did not admit any error or mistake but still somehow said the right words about president obama's birthplace. there was never any compelling evidence of any kind that the president was not born in hawaii. charlie: it was primarily internet chatter, wasn't it? nick: correct. eight there he making the rounds. there were some clinton supporters who purported the theory back in 2008. clinton herself never had. it was confined to the conspiracy reaches un

bob costa is driving the news cycle. high was loose -- tie was loose. there it is.here is the scene. tommy what was significant -- tell me what was significant and why did he tell you he would not speak out on the birther issue and this morning he speaks out about it. mark: bob: trump is very confident at this moment. never seen him more bullish about his chances. he revels in looking at the poll numbers. spending 10 hours with him, this is still donald trump, someone at the center of his campaign, running on his instincts. campaignard his heager say a week ago, that believes president obama was born in the united states, i thought, that is quite a change in position. i asked him, what you think of conway's statement? he said he did not want to engage on it. trump said conway can say whatever she wants to say. this is still a candidate who comes out of that birther movement, a true outsider who does not follow the political rules. charlie: do you believe he believes barack obama was not born inside the united states? is: i cannot speak for what in his heart and mind
