hillary clinton. joining me is donald rafella. good evening, david. >> hello. >> who is with john kasich and the bushes and cruz and the rest of them who were saying they're not going to support donald trump? who do they think they're hurting or just sore losers or small people? >> judge, no republican nominee in the history of our party got every republican to vote for them in a general election so this is not particularly unique that there are republicans, not supporting the nominee. now, for trump, he needs to go on and find democrats and independents to come into his camp to win this election. but beyond that, i think really to the point of your question, is that if you're not supporting donald trump and you don't want a fourth barack obama or third barack obama term, then what are you doing to make sure hillary clinton doesn't become the nominee? and even further than that, donald trump can't lose by a large margin and it not have a huge impact on the rest of the ticket. and so, what many this fr

. >>> bill clinton responding moments ago to donald trump's call for the clinton foundation to shut down. hello, everyone, i'm shannon bream. this just hours after donald trump slammed the clinton foundation as, quote, the most corrupt enterprise in political history. republicans accuse clinton of giving foundation donors special treatment and access while she was secretary of state. trump spoke to "fox & friends" and released a statement. >> they should shut it down. they should give the money back to a lot of countries that we shouldn't be taking money from, countries that influenced her totally and countries that discriminate against women and gays and everybody else. that money should be given back. they should not take that money. >> senior political correspondent mike emanuel with live in beverly hills. mike, how is the clinton campaign responding to these calls? >> reporter: shannon, as you mentioned, former president bill clinton responded a short time ago, saying that if his wife is elected preside elected president, he will still down from the board of the clinton foundation an

the clintons should immediately shut down the clinton foundation, not just if she gets elected presidentrankly, the obama administration should initiate an independent special prosecutor immediately to get to the bottom of what's been going on. i mean, this is really remarkable. now, the clintons have actually admitted that there would be a conflict of interest if she became president of the united states so them accepting foreign contributions to the clinton foundation. but apparently, eric, there was no conflict of interest when hillary clinton was the secretary of state of the united states involved in and directing all of america's diplomatic efforts. it makes no sense. no one is above the law. the american people have a right to know the answers and to know what was going on here and donald trump and i are calling for immediate action by the administration to create an independent special prosecutor and that would be the right thing for them to do. >> governor, why do you think there is not much of an appetite by the obama administration and the department of justice to, in fact, ap

the clinton campaign denies these claims and president bill clinton has this to say last night. >> when he testifyed before congress, he had to amend his previous day's statement that she never received any e-mails marked classified. they saw two little notes with a "c" on it. this is the biggest load of bull i ever heard. >> republican texas senator john cornyn has written a letter questioning why the justice department declined to open a case on the clinton foundation. we'll hear more about this in the coming week for sure. >> donald trump has anything to say about it. where does the latest clinton scandal go as we thank bryan? does it get buried in the media onslaught of donald trump news? with us john stanton of buzz feed.com. nice to be with you. do you get the sense that the media is dedicating enough resources to looking at all of the hillary clinton scandals, whether it be the two e-mail scandals, the clinton foundation, the pay to play, all that? >> yeah, sure. i do. we are putting a lot of resources and energy into it. the problem is there is a lot of smoke in a lot of the stu

clinton at the state department or get involved at the clinton foundation. amy: i want to turn to a clip of hillary clinton on cnn in june. anderson cooper asked her about the lack of transparency of donations to the clinton foundation from foreign countries. mrs. clinton: we had absolutely overwhelming disclosure, where there are one or two instances that slipped through the cracks? yes. but the overwhelming amount was disclosed. amy: but there you have hillary clinton saying this. james grimaldi, you talk about what happened when president obama tapped her to be secretary of state? and what were the rules around what would happen with the clinton foundation? he also respond to the clip. i was a the disclosure is underwhelming. yes, they have disclosed more than their required to under internal revenue law, but when they disclose it, they don't tell you the date. they don't tell you the amount. the disclosure is very skimpy. someone to make a donation -- the only way you know is if they have increased in one category to $5ay $1 million to $59 million to $10

choice. 56% of clinton supporters say they are more pro-clinton than anti-trump.rump supporters differ. they are more anti-clinton than for the republican candidate. donnie, on these topline numbers, what is your biggest take away? donnie: the biggest take away is that things have not changed much since the post-convention bounce. it is interesting. if you aggregate all the polls, the margin is about 7.3. the bloomberg side is on the lower side. when i do some of the cross tabs, there's one thing i found interesting. i will quote the great mark halperin. you said a while ago that if donald trump does not win business, he does not win. 51% of people in that poll think he is doing worse, their perception of him as a businessman has gotten worse. that is a very telling number. so, if i bow to the church of mark halperin, which i certainly do -- mark: obviously, he has to sell his business credentials, and there has been stories pushed by the clinton campaign and the press looking at donald trump's business record. and it is clear the republican convention did not reb

clinton. those were denied. they make a donation and reach out to huma abedin and magically -- >> not magically. >> the associated press and all reports is saying there is no evidence of a quid pro quo. go on and finish. >>i well, the fact that officia channels were gone through, no meeting was scheduled, a donation made to the clinton foundation and magically a meeting happens. >> that's not how it happened. >> i want to stick to the topic and i don't want to go off on a tangent. alice was saying a meeting magically happened. you guys are saying that's not the way that happened. explain that and congressman, you can get in after. >> huma abedin's response when she was asked for this meeting, by the crown prince of bahrain, she said this meeting is routing through official channels. so essentially she took herself out of it. it was a meeting that was in the process of being put together. >> this is the crown prince of bahrain saying he's in tomorrow asking to see her, it said "good friend of o

clinton, mr. clinton and the clinton foundation and its interactions with russia?t's a real deal that has never been investigated. we know she checked off on it as one of the sitting members of sifus to turn over 20% of the uranium assets to the russians? and by the way, a quid pro quo straightforwardly? no questions asked. >> donald trump called hillary clinton a bigot. this harsh and personal talk -- lou: but he put that in context, if you may. neither comment is worthy of the candidates but he put it in the context of what 50 years democratic leadership has been doing to inner city communities has been doing in this country under democratic leadership? an entirely fair statement. >> i'm just make an observation about the temperature of the campaign. usually you have the candidate implying or insinuating that the other one is -- clubs are no nuance whatsoever. reason the foundation hurts hillary clinton is she has the bad numbers on honesty and trustworthiness and out there with the one percenters raising money from hollywood celebrities and the like and plays in

enter arkansas governor bill clinton. "here's governor clinton with his family. let's just soak up the moment." "on this day with high hopes, and brave hearts and massive numbers, the american people have voted to make a new beginning. this election is a clarion call for our country to face the challenges of the end campaign. "i remind you again tonight, my fellow americans, that this victory was more than a victory of party, it was a victory for the people who work hard and play by the rules." on november 3, 1992, the democratic nominee became president-elect and it almost looked like a story book ending to a modern political fairy tale but the reality was just little different. a campaign that had begun 13 months earlier in little rock, arkansas saw the potential democratic frontrunner drop to come-back kid in the primaries. "most people like to dish it out, more than they like to take it and i have been america's resident expert on taking it for the last month." clinton had been bruised and burned as questions about his early years arose and the media doggedly

clinton. she labeled african american as super predators. her campaign and supporters in her campaign were the ones that the birther movement. it was bill clinton and her campaign in 2008 that questioned the success of barack obama, not based on his talent, but based on his race. it was their campaign. why can't we start judging these people based on what they actually did? she gave out state secrets. she talked about race in a way that's unacceptable. >> this week's new york times outline what trump and his father may have done when it comes to basically keeping african americans -- >> may have done. this is the issue. this is what he may have done. >> if you look at what he's done as a developer, and putting together golf courses, these clubs, the things he's been doing for the last several decades, he has broken the mold when it comes to this issue, and i can tell you where his heart is at. i know where his heart is at. >> one of the things he said, he said hillary clinton only views africa

the money flowed in to the clinton -- the clinton -- to the clinton foundation. why were the donors giving? what did they think they were getting? the critics of this say what it ended up being was intentionally a way that donors saw way to curry favor with the state department on controversial issues. >> two points. one, the reason the clinton state department and the entire obama administration was willing to give a lot of arms to the saudis and the bahrainis, is they were to bring the saudis and bahrainis while trying to open negotiations with iran. everybody knows this. we do not need to find some nefarious payoff in order to understand the policy. you caagree wi a policy or disagree with policy, but if you are in favor of the opening iran, it is hard to say they should not have sold these arms to the sunnis. they were trying to keep a balance of power going in order to bring some kind of peace and resolution to these nuclear issues. on the clinton globalization, the point i was trying to make, the whole business model of this thing is, get rich people and go

and the fact is you have lawyers for the clinton foundation for bill clinton for hillary clinton, commune indicating to yuma who is working for both the clinton foundation and the state department. you have our precious national secrets being given away by a person running for president. and talking about trust and honesty unbelievable. >> the problem at best is irgant. the problem was when hillary clinton game secretary of state the clinton global initiative was told they would not be part of the state department. he would run that over here and she would do the state department. now we find it's cozy. >> it's an addicts to pear. it is something that they set up in order to preserve their status in the world with world leaders taking foreign money. it's something that they created to empower and enrich themselves in the eyes of the world and people that would employ them and use their services. whether it be $500,000 speeches in russia or wherever else that they gave these speeches. i mean, this is something that people should look at and say this person is not qualified to be president

we're getting new revelations from another batch of hillary clinton's e-mails about clinton foundation donors trying to gain access to the state department while she was in charge. that has donald trump calling for a special prosecutor. what exactly are those revelations? let's go to james rossen with details. >> reporter: driving this sudden uptick in stories and allegations about the relationship between the clinton state department and the clinton foundation has been a steady stream of document production in litigation between the state department and two conservative activists groups. the group released 725 e-mails this week and many involved clinton's aid who in one exchange told executives that the crown prince of bahrain would stand a better chance of getting a meeting with clinton if he went through the foundation. that meeting was set up within 48 hours. last week it was reported that the leb knees billionaire seen here wanted the state department officials who are shaping policy on lebanon and the enter medicine areas were band. he had previously given up 5 million to the fou

once more, the clinton foundation faced pay for play charges and calls for the clinton's to distance themselves further from the foundation if hi each other names in a nasty and negative campaign that appears to be turning voters off. we'll see what that means down the road. but we begin with donald trump's ham-handed efforts to find a middle ground on deportation. was he for it before he was against it or a little bit of both? in iowa yesterday, trump tried to explain again. >> all the media wants to talk about is the 11 million people. moderate immigration turned into a muddle. >> there certainly can be a softening because we're not looking to hurt people. >> i heard people say it's a harden hardening. >> monday, trump appeared to defend topresident obama's poli. >> lots of people were brought into the country with existing laws. >> as the week went on, his position multiplied. >> they have to pay back taxes. they have to pay taxes. there is no amnesty. >> there is no path to legalization. >> we talked about -- >> unless people leave the country. >> trump even polled a town hall au

there's been pay to play at the clinton state department related to the clinton foundation, and the clintons have failed to deal with any of the substance of these issues. heck, trace talked about the agreement that hillary clinton had when she wept in to become secretary of state. part of that agreement was that they were supposed to disclose all donors to the clinton foundation. they still haven't done that. there's more than 1,100 foreign donors that we don't even know the names ability. this is further confirmation and the new noose is tightening. >> they put those 30,000 e-mails out there and said that's it, nothing else to see here. here, 44 new e-mails that reveal a lot about what was going on at that time. where is this going to go? are we going to see more of these? are there more e-mails where these came from? >> yes. i know there are more e-mails. there are e-mails that are being produced almost on a weekly basis for both judicial watch and citizens united. you have julian assange saying we're probably going to see more e-mails. look, here's the bottom line. you saw a little bit o

the clinton foundation?hat's the question tonight following the release of more e-mails. clinton's team did not turn over to the government last year. correspondent richard edson on what critics are calling a pay to play arrangement. >> reporter: clinton political donors and officials pushed the u.s. state department for meetings, favors, and jobs for associates, while hillary clinton was secretary of state. this, according to nearly 300 pages of work-related e-mails secretary clinton failed to initially surrender to the state department. and just released as the result of a successful lawsuit from conservative group judicial watch. >> they extracted these promises from mr. clinton to stay out of foundation business, they have a bright line and wall between the state department and the foundation. they were communicating with the state department to take care of associates and in juan case, a major donor. >> reporter: doug band is a long-time adviser to president bill clinton. he led the clinton global initi

lou: hillary clinton and the scandal with the clinton foundation.ress with a brilliant report had to wait three years because the state department -- >> i don't understand why this isn't more an obama administration scandal. john kerry runs the state department, he's bent one doing the stonewalling. for some reason the press has given the obama administration a pass. we complain, we are not going after hillary hard enough. what about going after the obama administration. this happened on their watch. >> there is one common theme. they are all whether obama or clinton. they are all within the per view of the state -- the purview of the state department. kellyanne conway, the first woman to lead a republican presidential campaign. she says there are shy undercover voters who will make the difference in this election. what do you think? >> in my experience with politics if you are complaining about the polls your guy is losing. when he was up in the polls he couldn't speak two or three sentences without telling it that. now that the polls are saying th

where is clinton now? she hasn't really had public events for the past few days. >> she's not been campaigning much in public. she's in california for a three-day fund-raising swing. in fact, this evening she's doing a round of late night talk shows. she will be on with jimmy kimmel. she's also doing some fund-raising, big fund-raising at the home of magic johnson. the final two weeks of august all about raising money specifically to fund tv ads. her campaign announced an $80 million strategy for the final stretch in all types of battleground states, trying to keep the focus on donald trump and his temperament. of course, these e-mails and other things have kept some of the spotlight on her campaign uncomfortably as well. >> jeff, thanks very much. back with the panel. joining us also is alex burns, national political reporter for the "new york times." alex, let's start with you. how big a problem are the new documents? the fbi has looked at them already but it certainly continues kind of the drum beat, th

in the clinton family's pocket. this was money going to fight malaria and aids and to lower child mortality around the globe. >> you can't argue that that justifies putting a big donor on an official advisory board who had no experience in that area and when his -- that fact that he was on the board was revealed, quit within 24 hours. why he quit. i don't know why he was appointed. i do know this. no one has been investigated more than hillary clinton in the history of presidential politics. i know that when jim comey was lauded by the republicans prior to him saying no law had been broken, they changed their tune when he didn't give them the answer they wanted. frankly, donald trump is on a campaign to undermine law enforcement in this country by eating at the very trust in the fbi which i think is really unfortunate. >> all right. let's talk about the economic plan that clinton unveiled this week and let's go through it. she would raise taxes $1.2 trillion over the decade as i said to governor pence. almost all of

trump cuts taxes clinton raises them. trump wants to repeal the estate tax which already exempts the first $5 million for an individual. clinton raises the estate tax and trump wants a new tax deduction to cover child care expenses. clinton says expanding the child care tax credit helps lower income families more. question governor, why shouldn't middle class families look at the two mans and say at least on taxes clinton offers them a >> i think not only middle class americans like my wife and i, but all americans know the pathway to prosperity is not going to be found in raising taxes. hillary clinton's planning over a trillion dollars in tax increases. that 47-minute speech she did, i was told it's over a trillion dollars in spending. what donald trump laid out, in a very real sense, what's worked here in indiana and worked in republican-led states. they earn. you unleash the power of the economy by rolling back regulation and red tape, repealing obamacare. you end the war on coal. and develop all the energy resources

>>> e-mails are back in the news relationship between the clinton foundation and hillary clinton's time as secretary of state. this as polls show clinton pulling ahead of donald trump in key swing states. joining me now from st. louis. senator claire mccaskill, one of the first members of congress to endorse clinton for president. senator, the state department released more e-mails this week under a lawsuit that raised serious questions about the link between the clinton foundation and the state hillary clinton was the secretary there. you just heard governor pence say that the american people have a right to know if there was a pay to play situation. do you support the idea of an investigation? >> well, first of all, let's give this context, chris. this was a right wing partisan organization judicial watch that has been after hillary clinton for decades. they got thousands of e-mails, they released two of them trying to give the perception of a two e-mails, one was about recommending a former staffer for a job and other was jauss somebody who wanted to give the state department informa

clinton foundation. so if there is that wall that she promised the president of the united states, how is it, number one, that huma abedin is paid by both the state department and the clinton foundation and that she is reaching out to the state department to make sure that a clinton foundation donor gets a meeting with a -- the -- mr. feldman there, the ambassador to lebanon? >> well, i'm not certain that she was getting paid by both organizations at the same time -- >> she was. >> well, that's an important distinction. i'm not familiar with those details. but i will say this, if there's an m.o.u. between the state department and another office in the government, that doesn't necessarily bind an outside entity by that m.o.u. -- >> the m.o.u. was between hillary clinton and the president saying that there would be a wall between the foundation -- >> you asked a question. i'm trying to give you an answer to it. respectfully, if the other organization from the outside sends an e-mail and they send requests,

and hillary clinton's state department. what do you make of all this money going to the foundation or going for huge fees for bill clinton's speeches and how the state department treated those people? >> serious unanswered questions. a moment. what's going on here? what's this all about with her and trump? in the case of trump, i have really no idea what he might do if he ever became president. if you look at the statements, the proposals, the ideas, it's a kind of a garage sale and i don't know that there's a rembrandt behind that lawn mower that won't start. but i he has not communicated that. she has somewhat communicated what she o would do. her personal e-mails, remember the fbi director said there are thousands of e-mails, work-related, that were not turned over. there are those top secret discussions, very, very serious. you find -- foundation. that was the new news this week. one case, doug band twho was, as we pointed out, a top official at the foundation, the clinton campaign says no, no, no. he wasn't working the

and bill clinton.re closest aides. >> closest aides and they are acting on their behalf. she may not have known about these e-mails. she wasn't on these e-mails but they were acting on her behalf and on behalf of the clinton foundation. 60% of voters don't trust her. the good thing for hillary clinton is that 59% don't trust donald trump either. it's kind of a wash right now. it does play into her narrative and donald trump has been handed a couple of gifts, right? the e-mail is a political gift to him. the fact that the father of the orlando shooter showed up at a hillary clinton rally is a gift to donald trump, which he did not talk about. so the question is now whether as a presidential candidate and his campaign can get him back on track to kind of start taking advantage of these two things that have been just set on his doorstep. >> he's tried to talk about this before. he called the state department hillary's private hedge fund and he's been insinuating that there's some kind of corrupt relations

hillary clinton. the 15,000 new e-mails and charges that the clinton campaign operated on a pay for play basis. and we talked about the ugliness of the campaign season but we had a really ugly moment earlier this week. take a listen. >> i would like to talk to you about your comments about my being a racist -- [ bleep ]. >> that voice mail message left by maine governor is just an example of a race to the bottom, may by too many politicians. something that has a lot of voters saying e in you have. don't t dust and allgens get between you and life's beautiful moments. flonase gives you more complete allergy relief. most allergy pills only control one inflammatory substance. flonase controls 6. and six is greater than one. flonase changes everything. ♪ words panera lives by. no artificial flavors, preservatives, sweeteners. no colors from artificial sources. 100% of our food will be clean by year's end. that's food as it should be. ♪ i love that my shop is part of the morning ritual around here. people

clinton. i do not get it -- why does trop such an idiot when he knows he cannot be the president of the united states. host: let's get a republican point of view from john. petersburg, in alaska. host: my mistake. southeast, on in an island, and there are not many people here, but i have to travel south to get medical attention here and there. i am in my 60's. i went to seattle a few weeks ago and i was amazed how many people were living under the i wass -- seattle, and born in seattle a long time ago. what i am getting at is more people from other countries were working in the hospitals, and the people that are in -- from this country are living out on the street. don't get me wrong. i understand some of them cannot hold a job down. this is ridiculous. we are spending too much money on trying to take care of things that, you know, will take care of itself. we do not need to keep bringing more and more problems until we solve our own problems. as far as taxes, it is crazy. up here we pay four

hillary clinton, the indictment against hillary clinton is easy if you focus on the clinton foundationnd focus on putting her national security at risk. you lay out the the indictment of the failed economic and foreign policy. that's why an on-message donald trump is so important for donald trump. eric: katie, do you think he can stay on message? i don't know what kellyanne conway has in her back pocket but he seems to be on target. >> if he wants to win he does haven't a choice but to stay on message. right now hillary clinton has 348 electoral votes. she only has 270 to win. this race is far from over. but donald trump has a lot of work to do. as we have seen the past week. that's the message a lot of people are interested in hearing. he has to specifically lay out his plans as he has done. we'll hear from him on immigration thursday. he has to make sure he's attacking hillary clinton on a substantive level and doesn't give if the media distractions in terms of getting those rust belt voters and swing state vote else to change their minds. there is a chance he still can and that's wh

right now, plus-9 clinton. more recent polls to show a bigger clinton lead in both of these states. she's up 9. and he even says he'll win his home state of new york. one poll out says it's a 25-point lead for hillary clinton. if you average them out, it's a 17-point lead. again, it's 85 days. here's where we rank it now in terms of the toss-ups. i won't waste too much time here. but if those polls held and she won michigan, she won ohio, she won pennsylvania, she won new hampshire, she won virginia, she won north carolina, and she won florida, then she beats donald trump by even more than president obama beat michelle obama. 85 days to go. if you're donald trump right now, you're looking at those polls, you're in a very deep ditch. >> that would give her many electoral votes to spare. john king, i want to talk more about this with you and i also want to talk about this with gloria borger, and cnn political director david chalian. you look at this pathway, which seems to be narrowing, to say the least. talk abo

they raise questions about the clinton's -- the clinton foundation's influence on the clinton state departmentp wasted no time bringing it up and labelling it pay for play politics. listen. >> a couple of very bad ones came out, and it's called pay for play. and some of these were really, really bad and illegal. if it's true, it's illegal. you are paying and you're getting things. >> in a statement released wednesday the clinton campaign brushed aside the accusations saying this. hillary clinton never took action as secretary of state because of donations to the clinton foundation. republicans aren't the only ones raising questions about the clinton foundation. the fbi and justice department also wanted to know more about the relationship between the state department and clinton's charity. officials tell cnn authorities discussed opening up a public corruption case but eventually doj officials decided not to pursue it. here is my issue with the e-mail issues. it's compounded that you almost have to talk about which e-mail problem we're discussing at this point. i think that, even without getti
