greenfield, contributor to the daily beast, molly ball of the atlantic, kimberly strassel and eugene robinson of "the washington post." welcome to sunday, it's "meet the press." >> announcer: from nbc news in washington, this is "meet the press" with chuck todd. >> good sunday morning. when he first began talking about running for president, a lot of people dismissed him, including myself. but there's no denying that donald trump has completely shaken up the republican race. topping national and state polls, drawing 24 million people to the gop debate and simply dominating the coverage so far. i caught up with trump yesterday in des moines, iowa for his first face-to-face interview. i wanted it to be less about personality and more about substance. we touched on a lot of issues, furtherism, isis, immigration, ronald reagan and much more. let's get to it. starting with his standing of the conservative movement. some of the criticism on you from conservatives is you're not a real conservative. when you hear that, you know, someone will argue on social policies you're not a real conservative. is

i think that eugene robinson gave the most interesting angle on the story. >> he always does.. >> we do what we can. >> a clinton thing that maybe they wanted the server is because they want to protect their archives. but i think with darryl isis claiming that they are criminals because of the server, that they committed a crime, i think we are in typical vortex and they cannot -- >> the judge today, a judge today told the fbi to specifically look for references on the server if they can find any references and you say this is a problem of hillary clinton's own making. >> i do. i do think it is a problem of her own making. i think the decision was made when she took office as secretary of state to have this sort of control. i kind of understand why hillary clinton would want to do that given the history because there are unfair and vicious attacks against the clintons. however, it was a bad decision. i think she has to deal more forthrightly and fully. it was a really bad decision now you have this investigation. it is going to go in all directions and you can't wish away darr

. >> eugene robinson joins us.ior political columnist for national journal rob fournier, nbc political analyst and former chairman of the republican national committee with us, michael steele. >> a lot to talk about. >> the paper world is talking about one story other than donald trump, of course. and, my goodness. that was an awkward press conference. and i just -- when you were watching it, i was listening to the words. it was oh, my god. you are looking at her face. >> yeah. >> said she's not keeping up with this. >> i just -- and then shook my head and walked away. because this is so salt inflicted. it is frustrating. so far, more than 300 e-mails from hillary clinton's private server have been flagged for further review. but clinton in a contentious news conference played down the significance of the questions, saying the same issues would have come up even if she used a government server. >> i mean in retrospect what was supposed to be convenient has turned out to be anything but convenien convenient. >> if i

. >> joined by "washington post" robert costa and eugene robinson and republican strategist liz. let me start with you and we can have plenty of time to get into everything we had donald trump saying but i want to start with jeb bush because i'm stunned by the poll numbers out of iowa with jeb bush. it's not just that donald trump is leading and down at 5% in one of the polls right there but when they asked about a favorable or unfavorable opinion, they asked republicans and he was 19 points under water is telling me they are not just obsessed with donald trump, these republicans do not like jeb bush. what is going on there? >> trump is having a day in, day out assault on governor bush. it's been relentless all summer and bush is now starting to respond trying to counter but he's countering trump as a conservative saying trump is a liberal, a former democrat. we're not sure as reporters that these charges are sticking. we don't see voters active but bush is under pressure from donors to show some kind of fight as trump continues to battle on. >> so liz, what's stra ttegy, is the

full surprise winning columnist and mvnbc political analyst eugene robinson. the rise of donald trump is evidence that our political system isn't working by any traditional measure. trump is not a viable candidate. yet he continues to dominate news of the campaign. his trance gestion e gregss caused the plunge and his pool numbers eagerly anticipated. the irooney is several candidates if theory could be formidable in the general election. but the process of quelling the trump-led insurgency is already boxing the whole field into absolutist positions that will be difficult for the eventual nominee to soften t. longer chaos reigns i believe the less room the gop candidate will have to maneuver. barnacle take it to gene. >> well, gene, let's start with topic a. rarco rubio and abortion. is moreco rubio depending on who you talk to is unfortunate donald strump out there. this would be front and center. >> exactly. this would be headline news if donald trump was there. as you guys have been discussing earlier kind of stealthily under the radar, they are going way r

if you look at the eugene robinson column there is a pleading element to it. just come clean.ell us the truth. just say you wanted to control and hide this information. but that is one thing she can't say. >> howard, she hasn't done a lot of marketing, national media things. we're told as evidence she's going to do more media she's going to be on "ellen" coming up when it relaunches. do you think she has to sit down with heavy hitters and kind of try to reestablish a relationship or credibility with the press? instead of being so combative? >> she's been taking more questions on the trail. it was two months ago her communications director told me she's going to do more national interviews. since that time, she's done two. one with cnn and one with uni vision. trump has been doing 66 national television interviews to hillary clinton's two. what happens is that appreciate builds up. she's not out there with other messages so e-mails tend to dominate. i think she's pretty good interviews she can't seem to overcome caution and rules that refer to and being more openly accessible.

and eugene robinson, a liberal columnist said at the very least you have stone walled and said you should tell the american people, i'm sorry, i was wrong. but instead you've been talking about snapchat, blaming republican attacks. isn't leadership about taking responsibility? >> well, i do take -- look, ed, i take responsibility. that does not change the facts. and no matter what anybody tries to say, the facts are stubborn. what i did was legally permitted. number one. first and foremost. >> also, two inspectors general say there are hundreds, they believe -- >> but ed, you're not listening to me. >> as ed henry mentioned, "washington post" columnist gene robinson says hillary clinton is insulting our intelligence. >> everybody knows she's not telling the truth, including people on her campaign. and yet she keeps doing it. it is a painful, painful thing to watch. >> i think she could be doing better, frankly. she has been acting -- well, really servicing that clinton stereotype of having built a fortress around herself, being isolated. not giving enough answers instead of being really c

. >> howard when you see them we think about eugene robinson saying she has problems. there is so much information that continues to trickle out that they can't pretend like it's not an issue. >> hillary clinton was never a wild favorite of the left wing of the press. gene robinson the liberal washington post columnist writing she is insulting our intelligence with her mishandling. that tells you she has lost confidence of those who might be expected to defend her. when you look at the testiness and the rough treatment by the main street media and polls starting to dip, all of this has created kind of a bad storm from hillary clinton's point of view of negative coverage by straight reporters and those on the left. >> how do you think she is managing that now that it has come to fruition. she along with her husband has been in politics for decades. i think of her as being very smart and a more disciplined person. the press conference where she is walking away and throws up her hands and says nobody is talking about this but you guys it seemed undisciplined like she lost

eugene robinson a columnist with the washington post and robert who does the a section work over there. i have to tell you, i got to do my trump thing and put my hands out because there is nothing he can't get around. trashes the looks of women and says i'm only talking about, what's her name? >> katy -- >> rosey o'donald and says i only screw stiff people out of money in the trillions because they are bad guys. >> not the little guys. >> i watched the debate at a watch party at the american conservative union at the house of blues and first of all, wild cheers for trump. >> on those points? >> yes, got cheered on those points. he got through all these three points the third party pledge. >> rosey o'donald. >> comments about women and the bankruptcy thing, got through all of those just fine. the only time the applause for trump kind of quieted down a bit was toward the end of the debate when he seemed to run out of steam after, you know, how many times can you repeefat that everybody is stupid. >> i think two-hour debate is too long. >> that's when jeb bush's people felt confident and

but what i was trying to press on is that now when you have eugene robinson in the "washington post" now a liberal columnist saying she's stone walled and number two should apologize to the american people and say she made mistakes, that suggests this is not just trey gowdy and republicans on the hill beating her up, sean. >> and deleted 30,000 e-mails and wipes the server clean which people don't usually do. and then the server, we find out is in the bathroom. inspectors general only looked at a small ample of 40 and found four they thought, well, two were top secret, four were classified, up to the potential of 305. she's got problems here. >> right. >> this is -- this is not going away. >> and -- >> yeah. >> i think you're right. at the very least, it's a political problem. obviously, could become a legal problem because she's been dismissing the idea of a criminal investigation. but when the fbi is digging in and getting the server, obviously this could lead to any number of things. here's the bottom line. also pressed her on a report from nbc news tonight. that the fbi in privat

that's why eugene robinson wrote what he wrote. they're going to have to get married. if she lasts as the leader in december and february. they're going to be ruthless in august and taking no prisoners in september. how was that, greg? >> using that metaphor, that makes donald trump the bad boy on the motorcycle. shows up. >> how dare you go to another block? >> new guy in town. >> absolutely. >> then jeb bush is good on paper, guys. >> he is. but he's sort of like sitting back, going to wait and when he needs to he's going to hit the throttle. that's what i think. >> you hope? >> i always wait for the throttle. much i think it's going to happen. let's see. so far he's steady. he's keeping it going. but the problem here, too, with hillary is that she seems to be very defensive. you can tell she's uncomfortable in her own skin. do you think, megan, that bill clinton would have handled it that way and walked off, stormed off? he would have turned it around, tried to make it a positive for himself. bill clinton could charm an eskimo into buying an icicle. it's the one thi

she was hammered today by liberal "washington post" columnist eugene robinson declaring the candidate is her own worst enemy because she was quote stonewalled for long. adding i wish hillary clinton would be respectful enough to say i'm sorry. i was wrong. i wish she would not insult our intelligence by claiming she only did what other secretaries of state had done. none of her predecessors, after all, went to the trouble and expense of a private e-mail server. and we're learning new details what the fbi may be looking at in terms of the security of clinton's e-mail. the daily mail reported today the i.t. company that maintained clinton's private e-mail account, platt river networks, was run out of an loft apartment in denver. that company's servers were kept in a bathroom closet. hardly the type of secure place for the secretary of state's e-mail. >> i feel she's in serious trouble and doesn't recognize it. the team of fbi investigators and federal propers that are pursuing her is the highest and best in the justice department. >> reporter: beyond her e-mail troubles, clinton is also

even the very liberal "the washington post" columnist eugene robinson is blasting her. writing a column calling clinton out she is lacking respect. only herself to blame. demanding that clinton admit she is wrong. explain why she deleted those emails from her server. and robinson caps it a demand that she apologize to the nation. ouch. the "on the record" political panel is here washington examiner susan father rich choo and from the hill kevin sirrer is >> the clinton campaign was add dam that this was something that didn't have legs. here we are several month out and new questions continue to come up. i think that the two points that i would raise is that when you look at that press conference today in which she dodged essentially some key questions, she is leaving the door open for more and more scrutiny and she is not, the second point i would raise, being able to talk about the issues. and meanwhile a socialist from vermont is surging ahead of her in new hampshire, bernie sanders. >> susan, what she said tonight is this personal emails are my personal business. but

. >> so senator clinton -- suggested -- and how you're reacting and eugene robinson said at the veryalled, tell people i'm sorry i was wrong. but instead in recent days you've been statalking about th snapshot and -- taking responsibility -- >> look, i take responsibility. look, i just told jeff in retrospect, this didn't turn ot to be veept at all. i regret that this has become such a cause celebre. but this does not change the facts and no matter what anybody tries to say, the facts are stubborn. what i did was legally permitted, number one, first and foremost, okay? number two, i turned over, out of an abundance of an attempt to be helpful over anything that i even thought was vaguely related. they've already concluded more than 1200 of the e-mails i gave them have nothing to do with the work and i said make them public. and that's the process that one goes through to make them public. i know there's a certain level of, you know, sort of anxiety or interest in this, but the facts are the facts. >> inspector generals saying that there are hundreds -- >> but ed, you're not listening

contributes to politico and the daily beast, molly ball, politics writer, kimler be strossel and eugene robinson. the trump campaign has contacted me and said on planned parenthood they can't find any evidence he gave any money for the past 20 years. jeff greenfield, what did you learn? >> first i learned that he has moved to a slightly more subtle level than in the opening rounds. he actually said i have to think about that. that's not a sentence that easily comes to donald trump's mind. not sure about that. the first vague hint of nuance, which is another word i don't associate with him. i must say that the answer to the question you asked him about where he gets his military and defense advice, he watches shows. once again, i think for an ordinary political person, that would have consequences. it's just that i've been so wrong about what was going to hurt donald trump for so long, that maybe his supporters will say that's a good place to figure out your military strategy, i'll watch television. >> here's the thing, a lot of his supporters do watch a lot of television. right, molly? >> they s

. >> eugene robinson writes that trump's rise is the indication that the party is broken. democrats aren't there yet but maybe approaching the neighborhood. time to acknowledge that our political system isn't doing its job. that does seem to be where we're looking for what is the ideological core of donald trump, what's the issues platform? it really seems that the platform, he's saying to the political system, establishment to these politicians, you know, go screw yourselves. >> well, yeah, basically, and i think the reality of it is the political system's been broken for a while. this is nothing new. this is nothing that's earth shattering to the public. they've been feeling this and sensing this and knowing this for close to 15 years now. and particularly in this modern era, since 2000. and all of the angst and anger that flowed out of the bush v. gore presidential race. people are just realizing this is not the system that america should be built on. and we should be using. and in some sense and what i don't think a lot of people in intelligence ya a intelligenceya is

. >> eugene robinson pushed back on the show and said it's not a great deal.n the walk post, hillary clinton is her own worst enemy, so gene has turned a bit on the. if you accept the job as secretary of state, you inevitably surrender some of your privacy. so i wish hillary clinton would be respectful enough to say i'm sorry, i was wrong. i wish she wouldn't insult our intelligence by claiming she only did what any other secretary of state had done. i wish she would explain why after turning over to the state department, she had the server professionally wiped clean. i wish i could be sure that clinton is now, finally, doing everything in her power to ensure that any e-mails are turned over. unfortunately, i can't. if clinton now has political problems because of the e-mails, it is her own doing. last week i wish the politicians would stop thinking the person people are so stupid. >> she is going back to 1999. >> it's a way to say it. >> seemingly a wing conspiracy, now you have the fbi and "new york times" chasing this story more than anybody else. she is te

we have mark here. >> and eugene robinson is still with us.or of "meet the press" is joining us this morning. >> chuck, a lot to talk about this morning. why don't we jump right in. >> the new quinnipiac poll finds hillary clinton leads the field with 45%, down from 55% in july with senator bernie sanders at 22% and vice president joe biden at 18%. on the republican side, donald trump has climbed 8 points since july to 28%, a big lead over second place ben carson. and a three-way tie for third between jeb bush, ted cruz and marco rubio. trump is competitive in head to head matchups with hillary clinton and joe biden where biden is outperforming clinton by 4 points. in the first word voters associate clinton with they say, quote, liar. the second is dishonest. for donald trump it's arrogant and second is blow hard. and for jeb bush, bush with family in second. >> chuck todd, there's so much to digest there. people are horrified by these ver baits. those aren't good. i want to start, though, with the open rebellion within the republican party. w

, you said that the story in your opinion is a inside the beltway kind of story and factor in eugene robinsonis week and mentioned in the press conference with hillary clinton yesterday. he writes, she stonewalled for so long, there's no other word for her stance. that recent pledges of openness and cooperation ring hollow. if she has political problems because of the e-mails or potentially even legal trouble, it's her own doing. fair? >> you know what? i think that in terms of the washington press corps, we have been living with clinton so-called or scandals for something like 30 years. the public has a -- >> is it different this time around? she's running and she's a front-runner and she's having to deal with the drip, drip, drip as we hear. >> if not this, it's something else. goes with clinton is an air of a scandal out there. let's go get it. i think that's what she was going to deal with anyway. the election is demographics. any of the democratic candidates with 45% republicans the same and i think you are seeing in the trump phenomenon versus hillary phenomenon, a gap in enthusiasm. de

eugene robinson solidly and consistently supporting the left in the washington post but he now writesself to blame and her political problems and legal trouble are her own making. the goes to the heart of it by asking this. why did she decide to route offical males through a server in her suburban new york mansion? precisely. what was she thinking? where was her judgment. we go to an important election 15 months until the vote. republicans have everybody talking but the democrats have a big problem. they're front runner has the self-inflicted wound that is not going to heal anytime soon. panic may be the right word to use very soon. tuesday morning 11:00 eastern time. open for business 90 minutes on the law wall street trading floor and we're 2 points. i will call that flat. down slightly $2.66 the national average down 1/$0.02 a. money in your pocket, we will take it. where is the cheapest in all the land, costco in charlottesville, va.. 1 eighty-two cents a gallon. are we on our way? the push for higher minimum wage leading to more automation in restaurants. they are actually doing
