what is very interesting, trump has to be bombastic in the presidential debates and primary with so manyeople on stage, he needed to do something to stand out. here people will pay attention to him. he will not get lost in the sauce. as we discussed the other day he needs to be very careful about treating her in a way that offends white college educated women with whom he should be winning because republicans typically do, with whom he is losing now. that is the demographic very much stands to offend if he starts behaving some of the ways he behaved in the primary debates. he has good people around him like kellyanne conway would be smart to listen to him. melissa: we have breaking news. david: we have breaking news about a fire. gap reporting that it had a serious fire at its fish kill new york distribution center. they said all employees on site are safe and accounted for. they will continue to cooperate with an investigation. gap has contingency plans in place and working all over north america network of distributor centers to serve customers. watch out for fire safety. the stock is

it's a bombastic but strong statement of his belief that he's going to win. >> yes. but he said the only way hillary clinton wins is if there's cheating. she's ahead in the polls. >> well, she's not ahead in all polls. the los angeles times tracking poll has trump ahead, not behind, right? and so we keep saying he's behind bigbigs. it's not accurate. >> if she wins, senator, will donald trump send a message to all of his millions of supporters that the election wasn't legitimate? >> well, it will depend. i would assume there will be a fair election. most elections turn out to be at bottom fair, but we found out in the 2000 close election in florida that there was a lot of things that went on there that were dubious. so we have a close election, you could have ohio, you could have pennsylvania going down to the very wire and there might be -- could be determined one way or another -- >> of course. what happens if your candidate loses? would you accept the outcome? >> well, if it's fair, sure. absolutely. i expect it to be fair in the end. >> why is donald trump cancel

even his most ardent supporters, who appreciate his bombast and his tell it like it is no nonsense kind of rhetoric, recognized that now it's no longer a race to be the toughest republican in the g.o.p. primary. now it's a race for the undecided voters. swing voters. conservative democrats who might be looking at trump. republicans. the never trumpers who might be thinking maybe it's not such a great thing to be supporting hillary clinton anymore. in order to do that, historically candidates get oust their primaries having won the nomination and then court the undecided with a slightly moderated, if not modified, tone, and we're hearing that from mr. trump. he has been very aggressive all week in courting minorities. last night he made several direct appeals to african-americans, saying that democrats have, again, been sort of betraying and exploiting and holding them down for decades and have nothing to lose by supporting donald trump, and as he said, he'll do great job for them, particularly in the inner cities. so these are -- this is the type of rhetoric we did not hear during the r

self indulgent, a bombastic bombastic, that he admits freely but they are not boring to read the one thing i have learned about the press they are hungry for a good story the more sensational the better. but the point is if you are a little different or outrageous good thing sadder bold and controversial the press will write about you and i achieved a lot that the press is always wanted to write about me. >> trump was famous longer than any business leader we can think of. lumber than bill clinton he was publishing a best selling memoir 1987. party that is his ability to generate he dallied with the adm running for president multiple times and now that he completely jumped into the ring the coverage as been extraordinary but even in bad press is good press. >> q said the final key is bravado i play to people's fantasies they may not always think they can get excited by those who'd do that is why a little hyperbole never hurts but what i do want to ask is the television medium this is the first time i can never remember that he doesn't go to the studios he calls a day in and all of th

we'll see even more of his bombastic personality.anne conway added a note of caution to that yesterday, saying she still wants to see her candidate focused on the issues, whether it's obamacare or how to battle isis. so this may not be the end of donald trump using that teleprompter. alisyn? >> sarah, guess who we have here with us right now. donald trump's new campaign manager, kellyanne conway. thank you for being here. >> my pleasure. >> what's new? you've had quite a 24 hours. >> we have, but it's been great. mr. trump is finding joy in the campaign trail, which is very important. you want a candidate who is having fun because the people show up at his rallies or speeches, they're there to connect. they're there because i think typical politicians like hillary clinton erect campaigns, but donald trump has built a movement. people feel included in that movement. people who have traveled with him for the first time, elected officials, are struck by the crowds, the enthusiasm. >> but had he not been having fun for the past three wee

with the presidential elections that the candidates have indulged in extraordinary or unique unique, bombast insults mutual detraction and it does make you wonder given that we are about to vote for with the new commander in chief of the armed forces it does make you wonder about that role of that constitutional role is the candidate up to it. and for that reason and it is interesting to think back and look back 73 years bin to consider what happened in 1943. what qualities were needed to win that war as commander in chief of the armed forces of the united states? will i have called that volume commander-in-chief but i subtitled fdr's battle with churchill, 1943" because that is what the book is about there are many stories in the book but the cardinal central story within the book that is one of the most important confrontations that has ever taken place in the leadership of the united states and on a global scale. a confrontation between the president of the united states and the prime minister of great britain and the effective leader of the british commonwealth of nations. >> after world

at this point the great hope was donald trump was going to be bombastic and fun to watch and carry therimaries on his shoulder and get to the general election and all after sudden become presidential and change. dose have the self-awareness to change? >> no. the first thing you learn when you get married and meet your in-laws is you are not going to change them. whatever their entrenched habits are, they are not going to change. hillary is in her late 60s, donald trump is 70 years old. here is the thing. kennedy: let's ask more about your in-laws. but here is the thing. hillary has lied many times. but people know she is a liar and all politicians lie. donald trump has been caught on camera lying as well. but when you look at donald trump, some of the stuff he says is a national security threat. if you are going to choose between two liars, many people will say at the end of the day they may not have a choice than to vote for someone who might not throw national security off by her off-the-cuff comments. kennedy: at least one of them mathematically will be your president. is there anyt

. >> he can be very bombastic, outgoing, pompous, arrogant, obnoxious kind of thing. >> according to reynolds, this guy was a blowhard who hung out in a hold a job and talked a big game. but reynolds was concerned that his friend's latest story might be more than just talk. his friend was telling him that he killed a doctor in lubbock. >> he just got up, he had this gun and he shot the guy. and then he said something about pushing in a window. >> did he say that the window was broke? did it shatter? he was worried? >> he said it didn't break. >> that got detective johnson's attention. this detail matched what >> well, nobody knew that. we hadn't released that information. >> this is huge. >> that -- that's huge. that's huge. he'd also used a gatorade bottle as a silencing device on the gun. well, once again, we hadn't released that information either. >> the guy's name was dave shepard. and that rang a bell. police remembered that when they interviewed dr. mike dixon, he said he knew a guy named dave shepard. in fact dave had come by dixon's house the night of the murder. detectives

does he continue to add people with these bombastic and conspiratorial headlines?is a good idea to bring the person who is responsible for many of these headlines on board as the leader of his campaign? >> i think that is this new ceo, you know, the editor in chief. >> bannen. the question is, who's going to win. who wins. they're not, that is not the same message. kellyanne conway is not going to be telling -- maybe he'll serve the better angels of their nature. but what we know about donald trump is he is unprepared, really undisciplined, totally unpredictable. and he has very spotty policies, questionable judgment on foreign policy and has very little track record of having cared about much else in his life besides himself. >> i disagree on all that. >> that's fine. >> you have to weave the narrative and build a case. >> i have to go. and this is only because i have to go. >> only so you know that i strongly disagree. >> you don't have to go home, but we have to go. glen beck is urging trump voters to jump ship. which makes it simple to book a room for $500. or

election, an election in which the candidates have indulged in extraordinary, i think probably unique, bombast, insult, mutual detraction. and it does make you wonder given that we are about to vote for and elect a new commander in chief of the armed forces of the united states, it does make you wonder about that role, that constitutional role which the president holds. is the candidate really up to it? and i think for that reason not just history, but for that reason it's very interesting to think back, to look back 73 years and consider what happened in 1943. what can we learn from the role of the president in the middle of a world war? what qualities were needed to win that war as commander in chief of the armed forces of the united united united states? well, i've called this volume "commander in chief" because that was fdr's role. but i subtitled it "fdr's battle with churchill, 1943." because that is what the book is about. now, there are many stories in the book, but the cardinal, central story or saga within this book is, i think, one of the most important confrontations that has ever

fighting a battle not just militarily and financially but ideologically, a point far from trump's bombastic rhetoric of the past. >> i would bomb the [ bleep ] out of them. we have to knock the hell out of them. you have to take out their families. when you get these terrorists, you have to take out their families. >> reporter: the speech comes after trump repeatedly used a false claim on the campaign trail. >> i call president obama and hillary clinton the founders of the isis. >> reporter: and paraded his self-proclaimed expertise on the terrorist group. >> i know more about isis than the generals do. believe me. >> and trump's policy speech today comes amid sagging poll numbers in key swing states and days of distractions. everything from those controversial comments calling president obama and hillary clinton the founders of isis to his rails against the media at a connecticut rally saturday. of course, looking today to get back to that policy. chris and alisyn? >> jessica, thank you very much for all of that. joining us now to discuss it, cnn political analyst and washington bureau chi

so weird they decided to bring in steve bannon, whose argument is, you need to go back to bombastic populist nationalism stuff, off-the-cuff stuff exactly moment where seemed like trump was starting to take direction. i think it is very strange. interesting to see if donald trump if he goes back to these rallies, how much he steps on his own message. he makes his gaffs issue rather than hillary clinton's. trish: that is fine line. he needs people. inspired some members of the base. at same time, let's not forget how many people dislike hillary clinton, right, boris? >> sure. trish: people absolutely don't like her. she is not a great candidate. so in theory this should be a referendum on obama, and on clinton. all he does is have, he has to show up in some ways. >> trish, this is binary choice. it is binary choice between hillary clinton who has been a lifelong failure at everything, failing d.c. bar, being worst secretary of state in the country's history. we're worse off now, libya, syria, russia, china, mexico. worse off all over the year than before she became secretary of state. choice

usually she doesn't get as big of headlines because the bombastic -- if you think donald trump will be mine very eloquently the issues of what's happening with obama care when it comes to hillary clinton? >> i doubt it because what we have heard from him on obama care for a year now, is repeal and replace. it doesn't make that much sense, it needs what you just described, it needs a detailed analysis of what has gone wrong, what that means and what the path forward will be, one more vote to repeal and replace is not going to do anything and i think people understand that now. >> i don't know if you can tell, i can barely speak today, but you're doing a great job of it for me, so thank you to all three of you. >>> coming up next, donald trump's plan for what he calls extreme vetting of immigrants and cooperating with russia in the fight against isis, is this going to work and will it pass the voters' test? we're going to talk about that in a moment. well, it was nice to see everyone. i just wish it had been for a better reason. me, too, but the eulogy that frank's daughter gave was beau

the bombast worked in the primaries but will not work in the general election unless attacks are specific. you say president obama created isis. you have to immediately back that up. if you say something about elections being rigged you're going to get hammered unless you can point to data to back it up. it's a fact if you do not condemn donald trump, you, yourself are condemned by many in the media. same thing in the far right precincts. if you don't call hillary clinton the devil, somehow, you become lucifer. those points of view are dangerous. donald trump needs to discipline himself and start spending money in the swing states. and to present himself in a less personal way. liberal americans aren't going to vote anyway. there is little risk in him continuing to layout owe an anti-illegal alien program. and right now, hillary clinton is head. we'll have reaction and also, charles krauthammer on a possible solution to racial violence. those reports after these messages. for lower back pain sufferers, the search for relief often leads here. introducing drug-free aleve direct therapy. a h

i think he knows that he's a lot of excitement, bombast, etc. and so, i think putin probably finds that intriguing. i think he definitely likes the comments that donald trump has made about russia, about putin, a strong leader. we have to have better relations with russia, nato, which, of course, russia hates, is obsolete, the comments about crimea, the annexation of crimea, saying that maybe that's okay, maybe we can accept that. obviously, what trump is saying, putin likes. but i will tell you, don, that behind the scenes in moscow when i was just there last month, there are people that are concerned about the unpredictability of mr. trump. it's not clear, precisely, how he would follow through on these things that he says. would he really make relations better? or would he take a different tack? he is difficult to predict, and the russians kind of know that. putin is a pretty savvy evaluator of personalities, and i think he pretty much understands where donald trump is coming from. >> considering your experience, ambassador, being an ambassad

does he continue to add people with these bombastic and conspiratorial headlines, is it responsible to the person responsible for these headlines as head of his campaign? >> bannon is the ceo of the campaign but the new campaign adviser is starkly against that. the question is who wins? kellyanne conway is not going to be telling -- it's just not. maybe, boris, you're in the middle somewhere and maybe you'll be one of the better forces but what we know about donald trump is that he is unprepared, he is really undisciplined, he is totally unpredictable and he has very spotty sort of policies, questionable judgment on foreign policy and has very little track record of having cared about much else in his life beside himself. >> i disagree on all of that. that's fine. >> you're going to have to try to weave a narrative and build a case that's stronger for a general election. >> havei have to go. >> i want to you know how strongly i disagree but respectfully as well. >> when we come back, why glen beck is now urging trump voters to jump ship. here's to the heroes -- america's small business

who it seems is going to reinforce a strategy that we have seen donald trump prefer, certainly his bombastic, he's really not getting into the 40s, in the mid-40s or even higher. donald trump clearly has been, i think you could argue, the most effective at touching base with and really riling up these people that you're saying steve bannon is going to help with. when it comes to donald trump taking that sort of way forward. >> i think everybody has underestimated donald trump. no one thought he would get in and go to the debate and ended up doing all of that and more and getting more votes than anyone in history. there's also a double standard here, brianna. yesterday, the vice president of the united states went in for the hillary clinton event and said donald trump would have loved stalin. think about that. comparing a person that killed 35 million people. >> we covered it. >> trying to pick apart -- >> i'm saying that not in the way that every comment gets picked apart upon with donald trump. there's a standard about how donald trump is being covered and how the other side is being covere

and african-american voters are going to forget what has happened to the entire year, he's been bombastic about, you know, sort of antiimmigration, you know, showing racist tendencies, you know, pushing xen phobia. you'll have to say, i don't remember what happened the last year and trust him he's doing to do a better job than democrats on reforming immigration. i don't think this is really about, you know, winning over hispanic voters. i think you have a middle suave of american voters who are uncomfortable supporting someone who is a racist. this is about inoculating some of that. >> let's listen to his new pitch to african-americans and latinos which is, what have you got to lose? let's listen to this. >> crime, all of the problems to the african-americans who are employed, so many, so many people. to the hispanics, tremendous people, what the hell do you have to lose? give me a chance. [ applause ] i'll straighten it out. i'll straighten it out. >> what do you have to lose? >> our safety. i mean that seriously. we have so many incidences of young kids crying when donald trump is going

this may be sort of deciding i'm not going to pit and i'm going to double down and i'm going to be bombastic and keep hot rhetoric and be on the, be very aggressive as he was in the primary, i don't personally think that strategy is going to broaden his his base of support, it looks like he's going to his face and going to a base election, can he decide enough of his boat to get out turnout as he did in the product primary, that's , i think that's the strategy, it means they're not going to wind now, they're going to double down and try to energize the base and get a higher turnout. we will see if that works. jon: you say it hasn't worked but it did work, it got in the nomination. >> that's true but the problem is in the primaries you got to have 29 30 million people are voting, trump got 18 or so million to vote for him. we're now going to an electorate that's going to be 130 million or so. that means you've got to reach out, you've got tostart expanding your base . doubling down gets really limiting when you do that to your primary election andhe didn't get 100 percent of the primary, he g

do you think he's finally gotten it where everyone has been saying, again, if he would not be so bombastic, if he would just reach out to the middle, if he would just not insult people so much, maybe i might support this guy. do you think he's finally -- clearly that's a kellyanne influence. >> and kellyanne who has been on the show many times, clearly she wrote that speech. we've gone down that road where we thought he's grown into a traditional candidate, tomorrow he can blow this off. >> the clinton campaign said donald trump started his campaign by insulting people. he has continued to do so for each of the 428 days from them until now without shame or regret. we learned tonight his speech writer and teleprompter eer kne has much for which he should apologize. but that apology tonight is simply a well-written phrase until he tells us which of his many offensive, bullying and divisive comments he regrets and changes his tune altogether. >> i want to bring in the son of ronald reagan, author of "the strength my father taught me" and jack kingston, a senior adviser to the trump campaign.

you've seen the bombastic headlines. >> i think the "weekly standard" has to be fair that they've beenng on a lot of their predictions. >> and he's not hiring me as his campaign manager. >> you did a good job with dan quayle, i think you're a talented person. this has nothing to do with breitbartnews.com. this has to do with this campaign in the last three months. i think somebody who understands digital media as they move into the advertising portion of this campaign, somebody who understands the idea of getting your message and somebody who can talk to donald trump and who he will listen to i think is critical at this stage. i think every person who supports donald trump should look at these changes as nothing but positive. >> steve bannon and kellyanne conway have never really run a campaign. and there's still paul manafort in the tent. any concern about how this is going to work in practice? >> it's going to be great. manafort will give the pro. putin point of view, trump will make fun of people with disabilities and bannon will make fun of people based on religion -- >> and those

sometimes he was bombastic. sometimes he was all over the map.ing out what that style will be. >> donald trump, as a matter of political theater and efficacy, right, he was on point in the primary debates. i think, in terms of a martial arts style, it was sort of the drunken master. where at times you might think he was off-base, you didn't know where he was going, but boy, by the end, everyone else on that stage was bloody. >> no doubt about it. but it's a much different situation when you have a one-on-one opponent. and especially somebody who is not of your party. and i think trying to keep it real is probably the most beneficial for a candidate. not only the person who you're going against in debate prep, but also in the actuality of the debate itself. remember, there's going to be three debates. the first debate is six segments of 15 minutes each with one moderator. the second debate is a town hall. and the third debate is back to the first, six segments of 15 minutes each. trying to keep it real, within the time constraints, also pairing up

ama, the donald trump that we saw today on the campaign trail in iowa was more subdued and less bombastiche is trying to set things right with the republican party and those independent voters. live from washington, lana zac, abc 7 news. >> what could you tell us about donald trump and his plans for his cabinet. he has brought up one pocket. >> yes, that is right. his daughter ivanka and suggested her when he was asked what females he would appoint and after saying his economic advisers would be peal and he said ivanka would be the one to came to mind that would serve in his cabinet but there is a 1960s law that probably makes that appointment illegal. >> thank you very much. >>> and hackers has turned their attention to u.s. businesses at an unprecedented rate and representatives are more likely to be targeted by ransom ware and keep them locked until it is released. mal-ware bites found an estimated 40% of businesses have been victimized in the last year. companies in health care and financial services were hit most often. in some cases companies have paid upwards of tens of thousands o

this point, if trump does what he did in the primaries which is exactly those instinctive things, bombastic excitement, really that group that comes out to see him in all of those massive halls, it doesn't seem to work in the general. so then gets back on prompter and starts dumping heavy policy. so what will the next poll show some because things haven't really changed. there has been a drip, drip slide even though he's juggling two different styles. >> whatever he does, he's going to need to do something that will attract independent voters. the first approach is what helped him win his base, but we're now in a point where people who have not quite made up their minds and did not respond to the receipt tore rig or the rally or the tweets want to hear more in-depth policy proposals on the issues. and so to the 50 professionals who dismiss his sberpt tease, at attacking their character and wisdom is not helpful responding to them with knowledge saying actually you are wrong, this is where i am smart and it's like it's what is going to be most helpful and perhaps could change where he stands

>> just to drain out the bombast from his statements, the facts in the story are what they are.e ledger shows 22 payments over five-year period that are related to mr. manafort's name. who the money went to is not clear. it's analogous to a bookmaker. >> they were calling a black ledger. it was found in one of the presidential offices, right? >> correct. basically, you know, they probably had two sets of books, one showed to the tax people and another with cash payments in it. so, the question is, did this money go to mr. manafort, to his firm, to his associates? >> he was helping the guy who became president get re-elected, organize the campaign election, stuff like that, which is why he said he never worked for the government itself. he was working for the campaign. is it possible if these payments were made that they were legitimate payments for work done on the campaign? >> anything is possible. but, i mean, the question is, why were they cash payments? and how do those payments or that sum of money relate to the actual money that mr. manafort or his firm received for the se

do you think he's finally gotten it where everyone has been saying, again, if he would not be so bombastic, if he would just reach out to the middle, if he would just not insult people so much, maybe i might support this guy. do you think he's timely getting -- clearly, that's a kellyanne influence. >> and kellyanne who has been on the show many times, clearly she wrote that speech. to your question, though, i'm not going to go down that road with him. we've gone down that road where we thought he's grown into a traditional candidate, tomorrow he can blow this off. >> we shall see. sheer clinton. the clinton campaign said donald trump started his campaign by insulting people. he has continued to do so for each of the 428 days from then until now without shame or regret. we learned tonight his speech writer and teleprompter knows he has much for which he should apologize. but that apology tonight is simply a well-written phrase until he tells us which of his many offensive, bullying and divisive comments he regrets and changes his tune altogether. this had is, of course, one speech. again,

iranian money back to iran and we noticed just moments ago in his campaign stop in iowa, he was less bombasticd notes in front of him, he seemed more contained and we also saw that in the audience as well. so, all of this interesting stuff continues to play out here on the campaign trail. reporting live from washington, lana zak, channel6 "action news. back to you, rick. >> lana thank. >>> you can download the 6abc news app this election season to get breaking news alerts from the campaign trail and live results on election night. the 6abc news app is a free download for your mobile device. >> a montgomery county gymnastics coach is behind bars on a half million dollars bail accused of sexually assaulting one of his students. he is 33-year-old michael erb of hat bore he row. he's charged with sexually assaulting the girl multiple times start willing she was eight years old and going until she was 11 years old. authorities say it happened while erb acted as the girl's caretaker. >> the pennsylvania supreme court has rejected state attorney general kathleen kane's request to delay her trial whic

first trump and his rhetoric this week that hasn't been bombast ic. it's been bewildering. his hard-line stance on immigration got him traction during the republican primary and the nomination. it's the most potent issue for many in the republican voting base. the campaign began making a pitch to minority voters. and that kicked off a week of dizzyingly different positions on immigration. >> the existing laws are very strong. the existing laws, the first thing we're going to do, if and when i win, is we're going to get rid of all the bad ones. we want to do it in a very humane manner. >> you seem to in the last week be revisiting the issue of sending everybody back that is here illegally. tell us where you stand on that? >> we want it follow the laws. and i don't know if you know, but bush and even obama sends people back. now we can be more aggressive in that, but we want to follow the laws. >> what about people that work hard, have been here a long time. they own homes. they have their property. this is a question everyone is going to want answered. what about them? do th

>> well, i think the bombastic sensationalist kind of statements hurt donald trump. the matter is donald trump's strength has so far been the unconventional candidate and kind of being in a different area of conventional republican establishment when it comes to trade deals and some other things regarding the working class. i think for donald trump to be successful he has to get back to the message that was effective for him which was one that can be heard by the working class and can be accepted by people who have lost their jobs to trade deal, et cetera. >> you talked about unconventional strategy. larry was on fox and friends this morning. he brought up a couple other states to that list. i want to play the sound bite for you and get your reaction. take a listen. >> when you combine some of these states you get electoral college packets that are as large as the big states. so it's worth taking a look at some of these other states. for example, trump is doing better than expected in both iowa and nevada. now, i have no idea whether he will end up actually carrying

to make the candidate adhere to a more message-oriented discipline, instead of the off the cuff bombastic fireworks that he's now famous for, it clearly hasn't worked to date. and now with these two new additions, it would seem as though trump has some allies in campaigning his way. having said that, there's no lack of understanding of the challenge in the trump campaign. they read the polls. they get it. they know that in most of the key battleground states, 11 or so, and there were polls just this week that illustrate this, in a number of cases, hillary clinton has jumped out to a lead that has, at times, been in double digits. this is obviously very bad news, under 12 weeks for donald trump. so now comes the change. he's also been campaigning in states, frankly, that are red states where normally, at this point in the campaign, a republican nominee wouldn't be going. hoping that they're in the bank, yet we see in many places where hillary clinton has canceled her advertising, in swing states where she thinks she's comfortable, and has now begun venturing into places like utah and nevad

clearly, that's in response to critics not only on the right who have urged less bombast and the more sort of restraint and substance when he talks about terrorism and foreign policy and to critics on the left, the clinton campaign and pretty much every democrat on the stump who is hammering this government issue and continually questioning whether or not donald trump has the temperament to lead on the world stage so i that standard and by the standard we judge and have been judging donald trump teaches and campaign appearances he was certainly more substantive yesterday, he was certainly a bit more restraint and he has been. jenna: 'sattack on hillary clinton is a record, pointing to for china secretary of state. how effective of an attack is that? >> this is what donald trump has got to focus on, you look at the polling most recent fox news pulling on this question of terrorism from earlier this month showed both candidates lot in a dead heat in terms of which candidate voters trust more on this issue of terror.so donald trump certainly has an opportunity here. i think when he has t
