the reaction to corey lewandowski was negative. it was described he did not have a sense of finesse working with these top officials. much more of the scrappy burning the house down attitude. >> i am told that primarily the family topped and most influential among advisors for donald trump had been pressing for some time that trump make a change with respect to corey u lewandows lewandowski. i am told this morning of a direct conversation that was told to me between donald trump and corey lewandowski. corey delivered this news and now it is a new day. it is possible that top officials will be brought in and trump is prepared to be convincconvinc convinced that's necessary. paul manafort who had been in charge and i have checked with other sources, he's been effectively in charge which is different than the narrative we had. they're each said to be tracking as important figures in the campaign. now, corey lewandowski, manafort is in charge that could put some of the blames on falling polls number. corey lewandowski trying to take so

candidate himself. >> because the assumption now, true or not true, there was a rivalry between corey lewandowskin to help donald trump get the nomination. >> lewandowski was known as letting trump be trump which unfortunately has allowed trump to inflict damage on his own campaign and on himself going on for a month and a further sign of the level of chaos within this campaign is that corey lewandowski thinks it's actually helping donald trump to sit down and do an interview on cnn, that's the most ridiculous thing i've ever heard. he got fired. he should go away and be quiet. it's a rough business. this is only going to add attention on the turmoil within the campaign. but we're journalists, we love it and it will be interesting to hear. from the campaign point of view, it's just more turmoil. >> the statement that the trump campaign initially put out and the statement by press secretary that donald j. trump campaign for president, which set a historic record having received almost 14 million votes has today announced corey lewandowski will no longer be working with the campaign and grateful to

corey lewandowski went on almost every trip donald trump took as a candidate and controlled a lot of aid and did, how he reacted to things. trump himself controlled it more than lewandowski to be sure but now there is room on the plane, which is where a lot of the trump campaign takes place, to influence what donald trump says and does. one of the biggest complaints republicans have had over the last few weeks is trump has said things not about hillary clinton, not about bringing change to washington, not about the economy, but about whatever he wantmatoma he wanted to talk about, including controversial comments on a range of issues and the hope is that someone now gets on the plane who influences trump rather than lets trump be trump in cases where that hasn't worked out so well. >> mark, i'm just wondering if that's actually possible. it may sound good on paper, but when you have donald trump stechistec stepping into a conversation that the campaign is having with surrogates and says don't talk about this, talk about curiel, it just seems as though it may sound on paper that you ca

corey lewandowski refused to say a bad word about donald trump, his children or the campaign in an interviewki lots of pointed questions, but he stuck to a pro-trump script. update viewers. >> very much. he painted such a rosy picture, at one point i had to ask him if things are so great, why were you fired this morning, to which he didn't have a specific answer. corey lewandowski has been a controversial figure for the past year since donald trump first announced he was running. had lots of moments where any other politician on earth would have fired him, he was standing behind him literally and figuratively to the point that people said trump thought of him as a son. today it was clearest not part of the family. it was donald trump's actual family, his children, who made the effort starting a couple weeks ago, but more intensely this weekend to get rid of lewandowski. that's part of what i asked him about. did mr. trump himself call you this morning and say i don't mean to use the term, but it is the term, you're fired? >> i had a nice conversation with mr. trump. i said to him it has been

corey lewandowski.ll remain to be seen who he will replace him with and what his tactics will be. for those of us who are principle conservatives, we personally are not convinced that mr. trump is not the right candidate. we opposed him on so many different issues and it had nothing to do with his campaign style or whether he got campaign managers or a ground game. to us, that's not the issue. it is not who manages the campaign, it is who the candidate is. that's what we are foecusing on. we got supporters across the country. if it was just a few voices, this would not be going anywhere. we are in contact of pockets of delegates and all across the country and almost every state that contacted us and said, we are on board with you and how can we join your movement, we want to help you to talk to other delegates. regina thomason, thanks so much, thanks for being with us. >> coming up, the most detailed information of the gunman's own word of the massacre in orlando. you are watching "andrea mitchell repor

both were told that he was very well aware and actually watched the interview that i did with corey lewandowski today and, you know, i think that's classic vintage donald trump. he saw how loyal corey remained to him and how positive and affirmative and, you know, effusive he was still, even just a couple of hours after he got fired as campaign manager. and he was returning the favor. >> you got the big scoop today. i could not take my eyes off the interview as i was getting ready. let's listen to this. >> from your perspective, what happened? why were you fired? >> i don't know. i don't know the answer to that, but what i know is what we've been able to achieve in this election cycle has been historic. you know, we had a candidate who in june of last year announced he was going to run for president with no elected office experience in a field of 16 other people in the race plus him, who has gone on to something historic, to get almost 14 million votes and fundly changes way people look at politics. i'm proud to have been a small part of that. >> sources i talked to said they described you as a

technically in charge of strategy since april 7th, multiple sources telling me the problems were corey lewandowski, behind the scenes, was trying to usurp that power, blocking hi hires, making it more difficult for the campaign to have a good and positive relationship with the rnc, multiple sources saying lewandowski was adamantly against hiring more people for the campaign, hiring communication staff, rapid response person and somebody to counter the hillary clinton machine or team to counter the hillary clinton machine especially in communications and worrying it would end up losing some of his own power. on the face of it publicly, the campaign and both the family are saying this split was amicable despite the fact he was led out of trump tower this morning by security. take a listen to what donald trump, jr. told me about it just a moment ago. >> reporter: according to people that told me this, he was taken away, he was escorted out of the building by security. that seems like not an amicable split. >> there's protocols in place. i don't care if you're an intern or this, that's what happens. y

telling controversial campaign manager corey lewandowski he's out. a dramatic move less than month before the gop convention and acknowledgment by the presumptive nominee his campaign needs a new direction and needs it fast. line to you ski escorted out of trump tower today after being fired. talked to our dana bash and what was at times a very surreal conversation. >> reporter: first, from your perspective, what happened? why were you fired? >> i don't know. i don't -- i don't know the answer to that. things change as a campaign evolves and a general election campaign against a very well-funded, giant organization like the clinton campaign is very different than running against those smaller, primary state elections. >> were you surprised? were you blindsided? >> i don't know if it's so much that. there's been a lot of conjecture in the media lately about what's going on well and what isn't going on well in the campaign. i think a lot of that is just the media trying to hype up a campaign. >> sources who i've talked to and others have talked to said

because corey lewandowski was a big stumbling block for republicans, i assume you as well. s as a step in the positive direction. >> no, i don't. i've known lewandowski for many years and americans for prosperity. he's a very good manager. he's very good with people. any allegations that corey lewandowski is responsible for the problems in trump's campaign is utterly false. it's donald trump himself. anybody who's been in politics or campaigns like i have, when the family, when the kids and the wives are moving on a campaign, that's a bad sign. especially in a presidential campaign. you need professionals, not amateurs who think they know better. this is a sign donald trump cannot lead this campaign. the biggest change we need right n now. and it will go down in historic defeat. >> to lonagan's point, does it right the ship? >> all we need is for ivanka to say, we need to change the candidate. >> it's not like he said, talk about u.s. troops for iraq. >> we heard it over and over again. let trump be trump. >> and we see where it's gotten him. >> kansas isn't looking that gre

he needed him to put the machine in place for the general election, why couldn't he manage corey lewandowski's>> it's clear that corey had some sort of out sized role even after that. >> isn't the job to say, here's your new parameter? >> he was trying to sort of use his influence to stymie the stuff that paul has correctly been trying to do. it's not totally unusual for this sort of thing to happen. it is unusual that it's happening this publicly and this short notice in that regard. but this is a good step because this had to happen and better it happen sooner rather than in october or september. >> we reached out to corey lewandowski, cnn, on behalf of the entire network and had no comment and didn't give us any indication what his next move is going to be but errol lewis, the next move of this campaign, my thought is under the guise of a guy who has been at this for decades, paul manafort knows how to put a machine in place. paul manafort knows what a ground game is. paul manafort knows what a general election campaign is compared to a primary campaign. but it's june. and a lot of people s

sources tell cnn that the firing of corey lewandowski is going to be a good thing because it was time to streamline duties within the campaign. the source adds that campaign chairman paul manafort who had been fighting with lewandowski over control of the campaign can now finally start making long overdue hiring decisions to begin trying to match the massive ground operation hillary clinton already has in place. sources tell cnn that lewandowski's departure complaints reached a critical mass. the family, notably ivanka, were not happy with lewandowski's work. and manafort said it was lewandowski or himself. not both of them that could stay at the top of the campaign. in the interview on monday, the presumptive nominee had nothing but positive things to say about the former campaign pamanager. >> he is a good man. we had good success. i had more votes in the republican party by a tremendous amount in the primaries. i watched him before. he was terrific toward me. said i was a talented person. he's a talented person. he's a friend of mine. i think it's time now for a different kind of a

campaign manager corey lewandowski relieved of his duty this is morning. owski has been a controversial figure inside and outside the campaign over the last several months. lewandowski telling msnbc he's honored to have had that opportunity. sources telling us he will be replaced as the lead strategist by paul manafort. the associated press also reporting the man arrested at a trump rally saturday in las vegas for trying to grab a las vegas police officer's gun apparently told a federal officer he came to the rally to kill trump. the man, 19-year-old michael steven sanford, will be arraigned later today in nevada on a charge of an act of violence on restricted grounds. the fbi releases edited transcripts of three conversations they had with the orlando gunman during the nightclub massacre last week. omar mateen identifying himself as an islamic soldier and demanding to a crisis negotiator the u.s. stop bombing syria and iraq. they say there is no evidence he was directed by foreign terrorist groups and he was radicalized on his own. the death of 27-year-old

a couple manager corey lewandowski is now out. at does trump have to say about the change in leadership? well, just a short time ago, trump sat down with bill o'reilly. >> with corey, i'm really proud of him. he did a great job. but we're going to go a little bit of a different route. >> all right. so different style. it's a different style and bringing in some -- >> -- it's a different style, yeah. little different style. >> now that interview airs right after "on the record" and the "on the record" political panel is back from the daily beast jackie kucinich and from the "boston globe" matt viser. you think people would learn by now and trump campaign official no sooner did corey lewandowski got the heave who he, he tweets dingdong the witch is dead and has the picture of the witch underneath the house and now he is out. what in the world is going on over there? >> never tweet. if you look at it and you think you might get in trouble, just delete it. but, the karma was swift for michael today. >> quickly, i have got to give him c

corey lewandowski says he has no regrets.atch. >> i've had a great relationship with the family and i think i continue to do so. i think what you have is a transition in the campaign from a very very successful 37 state primary victory process to look to a bigger picture and that's okay. >> you're painting a nice picture of the trump campaign. if it was that great why wouldn't you still be the campaign manager. >> i'm proud of the campaign. i really am but i also understand the reality of building an infrastructure coupled with the rnc's 500 people on the ground. >> why couldn't you be the person to do it? >> i don't know the answer to that. >> biggest regret? >> on this campaign, nonprofessionally. >> it's good news that when reporter michelle fields filed a police report on battery after she says corey lewandowski grabbed her arm which the video shows him doing. joining me now is michelle fi d fields. great to see you. what's your thought? what was it upon seeing him fired? >> i'm not going to say that i was happy to see so

why did corey lewandowski get the boot? >> the main reason is we're moving into a new phase of the campaign. and we're moving to a focus on the general election. and as we do that, we're changing direction a little bit by who's at the helm, and donald trump thought that this was a good opportunity to do that and to set his sights on hillary clinton and to focus on that and be building and preparing more as we grow day after day after day and prepare for that general election, and that's what this is about, it's moving into a new phase of the campaign and preparing for that general election battle that he's fought so hard to get to. >> i guess the problem is the new direction is code in the corporate world. that means that you're fired. we don't think you're doing a good job. and i did hear him say, you know, say good things about donald trump today, so he doesn't seem bitter, but it does seem curious the way it happened. would you agree to that? >> i think, again, corey has brought mr. trump and the entire campaign through

corey lewandowski, we are learning more about that right now. he's been let go from the campaign, as we learned just within the last hour or so. we'll have more on that soon, but we want to take you right back to where be started. that is the new details we're learning about what gunman omar mateen said and what he did of course we know during that rampage. the fbi is just releasing printed transcripts of mateen's 911 calls from that night. my colleague, pete williams, is joining me now. pete, what more are we learning from these transcripts? >> quite a bit, thomas. turns out that the police negotiators talked to omar mateen for a total of 28 minutes. we don't learn a lot in the back and forth in the transcript of his 911 call that we didn't already know. he pledged support for isis. he identified himself as an islamic soldier. he told the negotiator to stop bombing syria and iraq and that's why he was here now. here's a couple of new things. he says there is a vehicle outside that has some bombs, just to let you know. you people are going to ge

so it makes sense to shift from corey lewandowski to paul. the coverage of the firing shows the bias in the media. the amount of attention that it got when you have former hillary clinton staffer who pled the 5th 150 times, and new revelations on the maim -- e-mail server but donald trump firing campaign manager which is standing operating procedure dominates the headlines. that shows the bias in the media. >> corey lewandowski is a character himself, generating a lost controversy with the allegations that he man handled a reporter. >> but that was overblown. >> it might have been but now where all the controversy blown up he was someone who people had a last and n >> controversies regard him and not hillary clinton is the problem. >> are saying in it were a faceless campaign america they could have moved on. >> now back to trump being in scott hand, in he was to promote the golf course but he was in a position of trying to be the global statesman and got into it with a couple of reporters including a british reporter said he could be toxic.

record in the republican primary having received almost 14 million votes has today announced corey lewandowskiwith the campaign. she goes on to say that the campaign is grateful to corey for his hardwork and dedication and we wish him the best in the future. this on the heels of lots of chatter about lewandowski and a his act to getbility to get alo people in the campaign. we're told that members of trump's inner circle and his team will be meeting with some of trump's family members as well to discuss the campaign, to discuss the message going forward. there has been much talk about corey lewandowski, his temperament, his ability to get along with folks like paul manafort, the campaign chairman. there's been talk about the inability for the campaign really to get on message. it's affected not just members of the gop establishment, it's affected donors as well. many donors holding back in terms of wanting to submit money to the campaign because they're nervous not only about trump's rhetoric but about the infrastructure of the campaign. so this coming this late at this stage of the game is def

the other was friction between corey lewandowski and paul manafort on the campaign. and the third part i think was that his children, ivanka in particular being very emphatic about it as well as her husband jerod kir shall ner, went to donald trump and said this isn't working. this isn't working. i think the family was really behind it, trying to point things out to trump that perhaps he hadn't seen. i think in the end he listened to them, but it was a campaign that was falling behind

a major shakeup in the trump campaign as donald trump abruptly fired his campaign manager, corey lewandowski. lewandowski will join us here in just one moment. he had been with trump since the very beginning and up until this morning trump remained loyal to his campaign manager. in march, lewandowski was arrested for an alleged altercation with a reporter. trump stood by him then telling reporters "i don't discard people." a few weeks later lewandowski was asked about reports of campaign dysfunction and he rejected them. >> respectfully, this sounds less like a presidential campaign and more like "game of thrones." >> you know what this is? this is media hype. the media wants to perpetuate this story that there's infighting moens the campaign. we're winning. this team is very cohesive, it's small, lean, efficient and it will come at hillary clinton for this presidency come november. >> things have gone downhill quickly since that time. trump has been derided by party leaders for a string of incentive the and controversial remarks, everything from his reaction to the orlando massacre to racia

campaign manager corey lewandowski goes down. g to weigh that theory. lewandowski speaking out himself to cnn in an extensive interview, opening up about his abrupt departure and the campaign's serious fund-raising troubles. >> we have that for you this morning. >>> meantime, a new cnn national poll just out this morning on the state of the 2016 race, how does trump stack up against hillary clinton and who do americans think really is the best to deal with terrorism in the wake of what we saw with what happened in orlando. we have the campaign covered for you the only way cnn can. let's begin with our chief political correspondent, dana bash. good morning again. >> good morning again, brooke. look, the hope among republican officials is that trump getting rid of his controversial campaign manager will mean a move toward a bit of a more traditional campaign organization, one many say is desperately needed. but donald trump has never been a political candidate without corey lewandowski by his side and in his ear. so the test now is

we've been following today about the trump campaign and shaking things up today by fire firing corey lewandowskiinal campaign manager out. all all of this as trump faces what could be a delegate mutiny in the convention. lewandowski appeared upbeat shrugging off any illusion this was due to strife within the campaign. >> is there strife within this campaign? >> i don't know if i would call it that. i have the privilege of spending back with my family the most important thingened i have said and will continue to support donald trump in any endeavor he has. if i can play a role in this campaign whether formal or informal that will be an honor for me to have. it's been such an honor to be a part of this from the beginning, it's been great. >> michael, i was reading your piece. you had something at 5:00 a.m. talking about the strategy forward because the republican presumptive nominee would be talking with members of his family about the path forward. >> did you have an inkling this meeting with lieutenants would result in corey lewandowski being pushed out? >> this is kind of shocking and not shock

but first the shakeup in the trump campaign as corey lewandowski is fired as campaign manager. paul manafort is taking over. >> i have the privilege of going back and spending time with my family which is the most important thing. i have said and i continue to say i'll support donald trump in any endeavor he has. charles: corey lewandowski is one of the first people donald trump hired for his campaign staff. breaking news that the man who tried to steal a gun at the donald trump rally to kill donald trump. joining me now, the chairman of the pro-trump great america super pac. let's talk about the big news. corey lewandowski is out. he gave a big interview. he still champions donald trump's cause. there were a whole lot of rumblings for a long time that there has been disarray within the campaign. >> congrats to core corey for winning more state for donald trump. you hardly ever endn with the same campaign staff you started with from the state campaigns to the national. we'll probably see a 50-state finance operation and focus on 10-11 states. charles: i get the talking points t

do you think that changes with corey lewandowski i out, or does it signal that trump wants to change?nk? >> i think it is an admission by trump himself that we haven't seen before. he's been very defensive of lewandowski over the course of the campaign, so letting him go is a sign, i think, really a signal to republicans and especially those at the rnc that he is wanting to change course or that he realizes how chaotic and how negative things have gotten for him. we've seen him decline dramatically in the polls, declining among a variety of different groups. he has stirred many controversies at a time when republicans really hoped he would turn the page in his campaign -- melissa: right. >> particularly after that orlando shooting. but i absolutely agree with what david said earlier, that trump is his own campaign manager. and so it will be up to the candidate to set the course. melissa: sure. >> and we really have to wait and see whether he, in fact, does that. melissa: well, i mean, another factor that might influence him along those lines, david, you know, we're hearing reports on

is the campaign suggesting that these two brutal weeks are somehow corey lewandowski's fault? >> reporter: you know, i don't think you can possibly pin that on him because lewandowski does not control what donald trump says. the only person that controls what donald trump says is trump. and the people who are closest to him, his children and his wife, have said over the months, dad, you've got to be more presidential, you've got to tone it down. you've heard him on the campaign trail saying, okay, maybe i'll tone it down, but then maybe i won't. i don't know who can whisper in donald trump's ear to actually get him to stop shooting himself in the foot, but if somebody doesn't do it, there's a danger he's going to lose in historic fashion in november as many people have predicted. sandra: john roberts, thank you. all right, kennedy, barry bennett -- trump's senior adviser -- was on fox news just a little bit ago. he suggested campaigns grow, they go in a different direction. should we look too much into this, or is it indicative of donald trump's slipping in the polls. kennedy:

and sitting there was corey lewandowski and if trump's instincts were to do something lewandowski said do what you think is most comfortable. we'll see what happens going forward here. we had a dysfunctional campaign and see if it is less dysfunctional. most of the time it is an expression of the top. and see if trump needs to think about what he says before he sayses it and focus on clinton and obama than the other republicans. this is one step in the right direction. >> you talk about it is the typical jockeying and infighting for turf and pour in a campaign. you have run a presidential campaign. can you be the campaign manager and also body man? >> you can't. yeah, you can't. you need to have a plan and you need to have a plan of what it is you are going to say and go and the narrative that you want to build over the course of the campaign and in the last five weeks since securing the nomination of the republican party after the indiana primary and the suspension of ted cruz' campaign, we have not seen anything that donald trump did that was organized and well thought out. maybe tha

was it corey lewandowski or mr. trump? e is a classic case of what got you here won't get you there and seeing a campaign trying to transition to be ready. >> it is corey's fault? >> i think the style honestly worked well and let donald be donald in the primary and starting to get worried. remember in the primary, every day it seemed like donald trump standing up and reading poll numbers and always positive. now those numbers aren't as positive. >> according to the polls today -- >> yeah. they're looking at that saying now we have to do something different. >> more than polls? >> i think it's more than polls, more than style. there are a lot of things but this is how it goes. when there's a challenge within the campaign, got to be a sacrificial lamb. corey obviously ruffled feathers in the family and other key groups, especially with the rnc, and now you're seeing him to take the fall for this one and try to get somebody else that can hopefully keep donald trump on message. >> doug high, from an operative perspective, this

she was the real driving force behind the firing of corey lewandowski. am told it was because he and her husband did not get along very well. it does show he is very influenced by his daughter and family. for all these comments he makes about women, every woman points to ivanka saying he really does empower women and that speaks to it. >> this is something. >> every day we are talking about turmoil in donald trump's campaign and talking about what a mess of a candidate he is and represent infighting is a great day for hillary clinton. >> thank you. the latest on the twists and turns of the trump campaign. tonight we are learning that a man arrested over the weekend trying to wrestle a gun from a police officer at a donald trump rally in las vegas said he wanted to shoot the candidate to death. charged with d is violence on restricted grounds. this thursday, british voters will go to the polls with a major decision to make. should she stay in the european or vote to leave? it has been a highly charged campaign on both sides. warnings on the con cowenses o

corey lewandowski is not responsible. a, he accomplished a lot.rump, if we are being honest, drove his own train, to a huge degree. lewandowski may have been able to enable that but trump was guiding a lot of that. the demands of a general election are completely different and i think that's become clear to trump in a way that it was not before. what i heard a lot today from republicans was this was a great first step and i heard this across the board because lewandowski was controversial. he did antagonize a lot of people. there are some people who liked him but some who had issues with him. this has to be followed up by consistent behavior from trump himself. >> you can't fire the players. you can't get rid of trump. of course he did all of these things. what lewandowski did was enable it. he's created a tone and ten nor that said let trump be trump and letting trump be trump got him through the primary season but not through the general election. it was necessary to rein in trump. it's also important to indicate that change is coming. it's not

corey lewandowski for the very first time.as been and at some level of success let trump be trump. i'm a person who has been able to implement some of his ideas and that's what i've been able to do, but anybody to say that the family disagreed i don't think would be accurate. i don't know if it's so much of a surprise. again, i want to say how honored i am to have been part of the team and sufficient a privilege to be part of the team. >> joining my now is chris stirewalt author of "fox news first" and author of "the halftime report" now. >> true. >> congratulations. just heard lewandowski having just been fired saying he was advocating trump to be trump and obviously that was going against paul manafort, his other guy works wanted him i guess to be more presidential? >> well, however donald trump fires people, is must work in an interesting way in that corey lewandowski said he was applying for a job, not having been just cashiered from one. went on to interview with cnn and heap praise and in the cnbc interview he said he wa

. >> reporter: to dismissing his campaign manager corey lewandowski a day earlier. >> we're going a different direction. the primaries i ran lean and spent very little money and won in landslides because vote in history and won in landslides and corey was absolutely perfect for that. >> reporter: as trump trying to regroup, he's down playing his sharp disadvantage in the money race. >> let me just tell you this, i understand money better than anybody. >> reporter: the billionaire businessman ended with a $1.3 million in the bank compared to hillary clinton's $42 million war chest. today he blasted out a fundraising e-mail promising to match small donors dollar for dollar up to $2 million but trump says if things grow desperate he'll bankroll the campaign. >> i can go a different route. i can spend my own money, i have a lot of cash and do like i did with others. many people think i do better that way by being the insure rent, the outsider. >> reporter: as the nominee faces skepticism and makes the suggestion some democrats have been better boosters than those in the gop. >> i'll also tell you

the meeting coming one day after trump fired corey lewandowski. ed a strong bond since the start of the campaign. sources within the trump camp say the firing was a long time

>>> cnn has hired corey lewandowski and this is a sad move and lewandowski has made clear he doesn'tlan to utter a negative syllable about his ex-boss. here's his cnn interview before he was hired. >> someone tuning in to watch this might be thinking that they are on another planet because you're making it seem like everything was really great. >> the campaign is moving in the right direction. that's the most important thing. >> and here is lewandowski's first interview once on the cnn payroll with erin burnett who asked about his firing. >> do you feel angry? >> i don't. i feel honored. i feel honored to have been part of changing the american political system for the rest of our lives and hopefully so much further. >> lewandowski insists he'll calls balls and strikes as he sees them and even if he wants to criticism trump he can't because he signed a non-disclosure agreement as burnett pointed out promising not to demean or disparage trump. lots of former operatives work for cable news channels and even leaving aside lewandowski's treatment of some reporter i don't see how this len

he did not want to get rid of corey lewandowski but got so bad he had to make the choice. other thing is mechanical going forward. we don't know whether trump wants to run a serious campaign in a traditional sense or not, how much he'll go down the road. corey lewandowski was not ready to do that. >> one of the biggest sources of attention in the manifort, so much occurs on the road and corey travels every trip. it was difficult because trump is not in regular communication, does an e-mail, rarely on the phone. it was difficult for anyone but corey lewandowski to control or not control what trump did on the road. they need somebody to monitor his behavior every day trump is watching a lot of cable news. he's reacting. he's tweeting. they need his message discipline to go up. people felt with corey lewandowski controlling the rhythm isn't going to change and needs to change with a lot of other things. >> there is a huge problem. almost every presidential campai campaign. if they are in sync, things in case they weren't because whatever you want to say whatever corey is sayi

$7 million less than hillary clinton. >>> the newest numbers follow up fired campaign manager corey lewandowski side since the campaign began a year ago. lewandowski didn't get along with the press, campaign colleagues and the candidate's children. in the end trump's daughter ivanka played an important role in the decision. trump praised lewandowski after letting him go. >> corey, i'm really proud of him. he did a great job. we're going to go a bit after different route. >> a different style -- it's a different style -- >> a little different style, yeah. a little different style. >> the trump campaign, manafort, will replace corey lewandowski. >>> the front page of "the new york times" warns, as the summer starts, the region turns infernal. 16 wildfires across the west. a pair of wildfires outside los angeles have burned at least 4,500 acres. firefighters are not only battling the flames and smoke but triple digit temperatures. smoke filled the sky to give an ominous backdrop to the los angeles skyline. more than 600 homes are under mandatory evacuation orders. >>> attorney general loretta lync

. >> corey lewandowski is out. what happened? e'>> hs a good man. we've had great success, but i think it's time now for a different kind of a campaign. we're going to go a little bit of a different route. >> we have seen in orlando another terrible it terrorist attack. it brings to the fore once again cogun ntrol. >> people being able to purchase a weapon as well as further background checks could pass this time. >> in the wake of orlando and back-to-back votes the senate rejected four new gun control measures. >> we couldn't even agree to prevent known and suspected terrorists from buying guns. >>> police are investigating the yelchin. >> the suv involved was actually being recalled. >>> a bouncuse hoefe lt a child's birthday party early in western new york. >> oh, my gosh, the bounce house! >> all of that -- >> i'm about to retire. i'm not quite as young as you. >> when you're in sports they say you're old as 30. >> you were old, let's face it. come on, man. try to run around those bases. >> and all that matters -- >> donald trump fired his contr

katy tur has the details. >> reporter: after more than a year by his side, donald trump ousted corey lewandowski. ivanka, donald, jr., confronted their dad, urging him to cut dies with lewandowski. >> we released corey from the campaign but we had a great relationship with him. everything was a natural transition to actual nominee. >> reporter: another source adding, ivanka was the final straw, done before he was accused of assaulting a reporter in march. trump, who praised lewandowski after that incident. >> corey, good job, corey. >> reporter: didn't act until today, as he faced a perfect storm of bad news. down in the later post, being outspent in $23 million, and facing a gop on the verge of mutiny. now, chief rival, paul manafort takes his place. >> paul will be a great unifier. he has done it on a much bigger level. >> just minutes after, michael caputo tweeted "dingdong the witch is dead, and he resigned a few hours later." he was expected to serve in the convention. talking to peter alexander about trump's decision. >> i had a great conversation with mr. trump. it has been a privilege fo

in the club while drinking on the dance floor gone rambo and stopped the shooter, is that a corey lewandowski problem or a donald trump problem? >> well, i think that a lot of that probably is a donald trump problem, probably unfair to put that on to corey however i do think this. i think that they had to make the change today not because of corey but they have a lot of nervous republicans, particularly big donors looking for some type of signal that things are going to change. obviously they did a campaign change. trump had been dating two campaign mangers. not fair to blame it on corey. >> is this an attempt to put somebody into the white house who i suppose they think paul manafort will manage to keep him from doing things that disturb and terrify and trattle the country for four years. is that the idea to patch him together for four years in the office? >> well, i think at this point the people around donald trump are hoping they can keep him quiet for a day or two. they would consider that a victory. the background is advising manner of ego maniacs around the world. strong men in the ukr

charles: there was a major firing with corey lewandowski out. apparently there was a major tug-of-war there, and part of that was, according to report, corey lewandowski was okay with trump being trump. but it got to the point that some of the people involved in these battles for years said no we have to rein donald trump in a little bit. is this the donald trump pivot to the more presidential donald trump? >> i heard the media report so many thing. even mr. trump last night said he will continue to be donald trump. it's what has made hip so successful, being -- made him so successful, being the individual he is. this was a political decision. he and corey lewandowski made history in the gop primary and now he want to go a different direct. charles: if everything is going oh street and -- so great, and he set established record, and all of a sudden he was out. encoreie was -- even corey was dismayed. it sounds like something was wrong there. >> you have been hearing donald trump was making changes going toward the general elect, putting in a new

>> right. >> so going back to corey will you w-- lewandowski, they beliee the comments on judge curiel was inappropriate. banning the press was inappropriate. so john, is that a big reason why corey will you wy is gone? >> it shouldn't be. corey wasn't going to win mr. congealty. he seemhe effectively promoted guy in a very divided office political environment, until apparently his kids stepped in and said this has to stop. you're never going to win a five with the wife or family. it is a losing strategy. corey had divided things up to such an extent, and most importantly, as the financial disclosure forms show, had presided over a dysfunctional anemic, absurd organization. no build-up financially to win a general election. and that's ultimately on the campaign manager more than the candidate. so you want to find the truth am politics, follow the money. the report last night showed a total failure on the part of the campaign manager to build any kind of general election organization. >> ouch, okay. i'm going to leave it there. mark preston, john avalon, i'm going to leave it there. >>>

you have corey lewandowski who really did help donald trump win the republican primary. anyone who says any different is lying. however, you needed a change at the top, and they had brought in paul manafort who is a longtime republican operative to come in and try to develop strategy for a general election and then you had these two gentlemen butting heads. what do they say, proximity is power. corey lewandowski was always right next to donald trump. >> had donald trump's ear. >> every time i went to trump tower he was there in trump's office and was a person who came down and would invite us up or what have you. let me put up another pull, quinnipiac university published a three battleground poll, florida, hillary clinton tops him 47% and 39 and in pennsylvania by one and in ohio a dead heat. if trump loses florida, can he win in november? >> no, he can't, and i think the -- the state poll numbers are almost more important than these national numbers. >> really? >> we're going to seat national number fluctuate from time to time but if he can't win florida, ohio and -- p

. >> corey lewandowski is out so what what next? trump needs to have some sort of strategy behind wihere his campaign heads in order to deal with the general election. >> one thing to say trump did he needs to move to the new phase of his campaign. quite another for him to fire it out right the guy that was with him so loyally from the jump and he defended immediately. it was a little bupuzzling. i would like to know a little bit more about that. i love you bill but perhaps more about the kind of person he is seeking going forward, who will be in charge. there are a lot of questions about whether he is prepared to build out the kind of national campaign and organization and fundraising operation and mobilization effort that you need. >> don't miss a former trump campaign manager corey lewandowski on "fox and friends at 7 eastern. >> a killer's call uncensored. ab bankruruptly moving forward. the 911 call mateen made during the massacre. only after criticism. we have a brand new look inside the mind of a mass murderer. peter, good mo

corey lewandowski was forced out yesterday just four weeks before the republican convention.rump made the move as a new national poll shows hillary clinton leading him by six points. >> those new numbers are part of a trend. the trend shows clinton on top and has the trump campaign in turmoil. chip reid with the republican's decision to replace the man who handled the white house bid from the very start. good morning. >> good morning. corey lewandowski may have led donald trump to a record breaking primary victory but on monday the calls for his ouster finally sunk in and he was escorted out of trump tower. >> he's a good man, we've had success. >> reporter: last night trump praised former manager corey lewandowski. the decision to fire him was a strategic shift. >> i'm proud of him, we're going to go a different route. >> a different style. >> a little different style. >> reporter: during his year long campaign trump was repeatedly forced to defend his former aide. >> corey, good job, corey. >> reporter: even boasting about loyalty when lewandowski was accused of grabbing an

i think corey lewandowski failed him. it was time to let him go and move toward a more serious campaign. >> the favoribility. both trump and clinton is upside down on this one. trump more so than clinton. his unfavorable 57%, clinton 52%. what do they do to turn that around? is it possible? >> you know, i spent a lot of time talking primarily to the folks who will formalize this thing at the convention in cleveland, the delegates themselves. i was struck. go back to may with the indiana primaries and the trouble brewing then, i caught wind in june when there was a fight going on in north carolina regarding the bathroom bills. in talking to delegates, they said, you know, we are hearing crickets from trump on this. any other republican nominee, whether it was ted cruz, marco rubio, jeb bush, would have been in north carolina and the republican legislature saying i'm with you on this. there's no doubt that the republican party stands for these social conservative principals. this past week, they are concerned about the fact

he also saw some value in corey lewandowski.g the horrific orlando shooting, a lot of folks expected donald trump up us to be as numbers to go up in the what happenedto in san bernardino and paris, but i think the trump campaign is starting to realize they have to adopt a different strategy for a general election, different from a strategy they used for a primary election. has been made about the head buddy, and donald is starting to fund raise now, and he is starting to reach out to her owners, and he has struggled to aid the necessary cash that he needs in order to take on that well oiled hillary clinton machine. what will happen if paul is named campaign manager, if he takes over the helm, and i think he is expected to question mark kevin: he has taken over the campaign. i've spoken with two campaign officials who have confirmed that to me, and i think you can expect the campaign is going to expand. i think you will see he spots, like the medications director and the press secretary, more staffing, fundraising for the campaig

. >> donald trump today fired his campaign manager, corey lewandowski. why, john, and did it have anything to do with concerns over fund-raising? >> it had to do with concerns over fund-raising, also had to do with those poll ratings that we just talked about. corey lewandowski is somebody who had not run a national campaign before. you have to give him credit for guiding trump to the republican nomination. but the general election is an entirely different ball game. we've seen trump going backwards in recent weeks and donald trump had brought on paul manafort as an experienced republican consultant to try to guide the general election. he clashed with corey lewandowski, one of them had to go and it was lewandowski. >> what about reports over the weekend that apple has decided not to help fund the republican conventi? >> in some ways it's not surprising because donald trump has been critical of apple during the campaign. but it is notable for a giant american corporation to not try to assist both sides in the way that big corporations tend to do. it show
