political anchor errol lewis, "the new york times" correspondent maggie hagerman, cnn analyst, gloria borgerand kayleigh mcenany, and harold so the meyer. you heard drew's report. the judge in the case who trump has criticized resealed some documents he ordered unsealed. there was some information that should have been redacted and wasn't. is that common in a case like this? it gives trump more fuel for criticism against the judge i would think. >> it certainly is a mistake by the judge. when judges unseal material like they did, like the judge in this case, they often try to redact phone numbers, e-mail addresses, those sorts of identifying information. that apparently is what the mistake was. not all of that identifying information was correctly redacted, so he pulled it back to try to do that correctly. it is actually fairly common when unceiling takes place but it is certainly a mistake, doesn't go to the facts of the case but it is grounds for criticism for the judge. >> gloria borger, this is clearly an issue hillary clinton feels she has traction on. >> sure, she's using it as attack

chief political analyst, gloria borger. you have been on the phone call u all day, working your sources. it's a cliche families are involved, in campaigns, the campaign strategists will tell you too much often, boy, with the trump campaign, they are deeply involved. >> it's usually meddling, right, when a family gets involved. in this particular case, as someone was pointing out, this family are some of his top advisers. and in this particular case, you have i have avanka trump and he husband eric, emphatic a change kneeled at the top. the two brothers also agreed. i think their father actually listened to them on this. now, they are not the only ones. as janice has been reporting all day, asked cory about it directly, they're not the only ones who believe that cory lewandowski's management style wasn't workable. they think the two-headed monster between cory lewandowski and paul manaford weren't working and i had people say it became an issue of performance and by that, he meant, there is just a lot of things that were not

mistake, doesn't go to the facts of the case but it is grounds for criticism for the judge. >> gloria borger, this is clearly an issue hillary clinton feels she has traction on. >> sure, she's using it as attack on donald trump's character. presidential campaigns are often about character. the votes for president are personal votes. this is the person would send your child to war potentially so what she's saying is this is a man who can't be trusted. the problem hillary clinton has making these charges is her trust numbers are so low, so she can attack donald trump on temperament, because his temperament numbers are really low but she does have difficulty in this because people don't trust her. >> maggie, she attacks him as a con, he attacks her as crooked. what about the missing e-mails. >> he barely talks about the e-mails, you don't hear a long diatribe, you heard him say more about plaintiffs in this case reading from the stage at a rally because he is so used to pulling in his critics and targeting them at his own events. the problem is that a lot of media coverage around this is now ne

. >> david gergen and gloria borger join me.t president obama. if you take his words at face value, where is he going with that? >> good question, anderson. it is hard to say. there's a clear insinuation there that the president somehow has another agenda, an agenda that perhaps doesn't share american values. and in talking to republicans today they were having a hard time trying to figure itout, and one of them pointed out to me, this is a pattern you see with donald trump, which is he throws these statements out and tries to walk it back. after that fox interview, he said there are a lot of people that think maybe he doesn't want to get it, referring to obama. then said i happen to think he just doesn't know what he's doing. so he puts it out there, he puts it on other people, and then kind of moves away from it a little bit, but he has thrown it out there, which is red meat for people that distrust and truly dislike the president. >> yeah. dana, it is remarkable that hours after the attack, donald trump tweeted appreciate the

back with me, gloria borger and mark preston. welcome to the panel. i want to you listen and then we'll discuss. >> i will say that the press should be ashamed of themselves. and on behalf of the vets, the press should be ashamed of themselves. they are calling me and they are furious because i sent people checks of a lot of money and we're going to give you the names right now, which is what you want. and instead of being like thank you very much, mr. trump or trump did a good job, everything's saying who got it, who got it, who got it, and you make me look so bad. i have never received such bad publicity for doing such a good job. >> so it's not the press's job to give donald trump glowing reviews or fawn over him. it's the press's job to ask him questions and some of those are critical and tough questions. do you think he understands the role of the press? >> oh, i suppose in his own way he does. he certainly can use it to his advantage when he wants to. but i think what needs to be said and everybody needs to understand is this isn't a popularity

i want to go to gloria borger.e start again, just to make sure we home in here on exactly what we're talking about. what donald trump said, specifically, about president obama and this massacre here. here he is, the specific part again. >> he doesn't get it. or he gets it better than anybody understands. it's one or the other. and either one is unacceptable. we're led by a man that is either not tough, not smart, or he's got something else in mind. >> so gloria, what is the reaction among republican leaders tonight, when they hear him say this, that certainly sounds like he is implying the president sympathizes with terrorists, at the least? >> yeah. i mean, you know, the insinuation is there. i mean, donald trump tried to walk it back a little bit. later on this morning. he said, well, the president doesn't want to see what's happening. and the republicans i talked to, they're no fans of barack obama. let's get that clear. they don't like him, they don't like his foreign policy. they don't think he's been strong e

want to bring in the panel, gloria borger, new york trump delegate john la val, christine quinn, and dana lash, nra adviser, spokesperson, conservative talk show host and author of "fly over nation, you can't run a country you've never been to." gloria borger, been hearing from republicans all afternoon, largely happy with donald trump's speech. >> much happier. >> paul ryan spoke to wolf blitzer, said he didn't watch the speech, interesting in itself, but he was hearing great things from republicans about the speech. what did they like about it? >> what donald trump did today is something he hasn't done before, he touched all of the sweet spots for the republican party. he wasn't talking about mass deportation, he wasn't talking about a muslim ban, which you know paul ryan has been against. he was talking about judges, which they can all agree on. he was talking about a broader appeal, creating jobs, general issues of immigration, not specifics, not the wall, didn't hear about the wall today actually, you'll notice. but larger issues. he also not only questioned hillary's trust, whi

our chief political analyst gloria borger is with me and david gregory, host of "the david gregory show p" podcast. first, you, gloria. >> there was chatter but i think it came to a head when both ivanka trump and her husband, jared kushner felt that enough was enough and that jared has been very helpful on the fund raising side, i'm told. and jared's husband in the campaign and more and more people were complaining, including then about the fact that corey was not managing this campaign well. i was told that, quote, it became an issue of performance for him. but getting the simplest things done or executed had become a problem in this campaign. i think along with ivanka and her husband, jared, were the other siblings, the two boys, and i think there was a sense that paul manafort ought to take the reins of the campaign because as one person said to me, another source said to me, it has been an insane few weeks. trump is dropping in the polls. the latest monmouth survey is behind 7 points to hillary and the bleeding has to stop and they decide this was one way to do it. >> what does it

gloria borger, thin-skinned, racist bully. she uses the word nasty multiple times.have not heard anybody speak like this against donald trump yet. >> not since marco rubio or jeb bush tried. look, i think that the democrats and she's been brilliant at it, because she's attacked trump on twitter. so, you know, the democrats learn from the republicans. and they right out of the box, they didn't give, and they're not giving donald trump any oxygen to breathe. you know, republicans waited for him to implode and he didn't implode. the democrats are going right at him. and what he has done, the last few weeks, is sort of squandered that moment when he was out there all alone, and could have taken advantage of it, as the republican nominee. instead now, they're all going to be ganging up on him. and this is the beginning of that process. and she is attack dog number one at this point. and she is doing a pretty good job of it. >> this is nasty. to use her own word. this is very aggressive, what you just heard. >> yes. >> donald trump's reactions, wherever he is watching. >>

bob cusack is here and mark preston, gloria borger and dana bash.iggest panel. we have new reporting here. it says in a change the house will not adjourn and instead house republicans are now telling members they're planning more votes later into the evening. so fasten your seat belts. we'll be here for a while. they're expected to do a procedural vote tonight to allow the house to then quickly vote to vote quickly on a new $1.1 billion zika funding bill that has been just been introduced. and democrats have already said that they oppose the bill. republicans have enough votes to pass that bill. so there we go. we look at the live pictures on periscope. we've been watching this drama play out with john lewis and the democrats wushing for the stricter gun control. it's anyone's guess how long this sit in is going to last. what do you think of the tactics? >> i want to first recognize congresswoman robin kelly for her work on this. why? because there is not her first rodeo at this. congresswoman kelly came in as an anti-gun violence candidate from chi

what do you think of this moment, gloria borger? >> i used to cover congress.ile ago, and dana bash covered congress. i don't think either of us have ever seen, and mark preston covered congress, i don't think any of us have seen anything like this in the house of representatives. we're used to filibusters in the senate. but in the house, this was kind of a hostile takeover. >> i think the house -- the former house speaker, nancy pelosi, is speaking. let's take a listen. >> without you and the social media, without the technology -- [ inaudible ] -- they turned off the camera. they tried to shut down the congress. but because of you, the debate heard round the world. [ cheers and applause ] >> so that is nancy pelosi saying, you know, they cut off the camera, and if it wasn't for social media, we wouldn't be able to get this to you. and we have perry scope, and they cut off that. and on and on she went. and to the applause of the crowd there. >> this is become -- we talk about how we all spent a lot of time up in congress covering it. we did it at a time, not t

joining us from new york, gloria borger. it is one of the grandest ironies that a giant real estate developer in new york is living rent free in president obama's ahead. he is eager go after him whether or not it is isis, or the topic is trade, or in this case, the question was about clean energy and president obama wanted to give a lesson as to what populism truly is. >> yeah, and he ended up referring to donald trump not by name, of course. talking about nativism, zenophobia anacd cynicism. it was only did trump on every issue. they made a case for strengthening the tpp and for strengthening nafta. hillary clinton is now not a fan of either of those, but particularly, jake, on i'm graduation. these were leaders that referred more than once to demagogues. the president did it, the president of mexico did it. talking about demagogues that believe in simple solutions saying the world is not as simplistic as that. not leaving in isolationalism. taking back words comparing donald trump to hitler. and jake did not do that. >> di

bring in gloria borger, senior correspondent jeff zeleny, senior legal analyst jeffrey toobin.hn mccain caused a stir when he blamed the president of the united states for what happened in orlando. listen to this. >> barack obama is directly responsible for it because when he pulled everybody out of iraq, al qaeda went to syria, became isis and isis is what it is today thanks to barack obama's failures. >> caused a big stir, and issued a misstatement, i didn't mean to imply he was personally responsible, i was referring to his national security decisions, not the president himself. it underscores the angst out there now. >> right. and look, john mccain if he's been consistent on any issue through the last decade it is this question of isis and iraq and how we needed to be more muscular in response. he has been critical of this president throughout. he clearly got his gander up in the hallway interview, dana is laughing, we know john mccain can do that, and he did. he had to kind of take it back, say i misspoke. what he didn't want to do and it sounded like he was doing it in th

but starting with chief political analyst gloria borger -- this was build as his most detailed economicpeech yet. with a is it? >> yeah, i think it was. it was a seven-point plan in which he said very clearly that he intends to withdraw from the tpp and he challenges hillary clinton to say she will do so. he will try and renegotiate nafta but if he can't he will withdraw from nafta. he will impose tariffs on unfair trading partners, including china which, as you know, hillary clinton says and others say would result in a trade war. so i think this was a seven-point plan as he laid out very clearly and it was clearly meant to appeal to those working class white voters in the state to which he was speaking, which is in pennsylvania, who feel like they have avenue been left behind this economy, whose wages have been stagnant. this is a grievance, as you know, that unites not only those on the right, but those on the left who supported bernie sanders. >> david, what do you think? was he effective in selling his populist message? >> i'm the no one to give advice to presidential candidates. t

let me first bring in gloria borger on this one. e picking up some more of how this happened, why this happened, who was the driving force behind what happened. tell me. >> right. this has been percolating for weeks. there's been a lot of unhappiness with corey lewandowski's performance, even the simplest things that needed to get done sort of couldn't get past his desk i'm told, but i think the final straw and it tells you a lot about how the campaign is run came over the weekend from the family. i think the children, ivanka in particular, was emphatic as well as her husband, jared kushner, who has been very involved in the fund-raising saying that something has to change here. kushner i gather had been hearing from a lot of funders, and i think there was a sense among the kids who are very involved as you all know in this campaign that they couldn't continue like this with corey at the helm and i think they went to their father and said, you know, something has got to give, and i think that trump listened to them. >> dana bash, you

here with me is cnn analyst, gloria borger, dana bash and david gregory. e majority leader mitch mcconnell one of several major republicans, gloria, saying that what donald trump is saying is completely wrong. he's got to fix this. i see no signs at all of donald trump backing down. if anything, he's doubling and tripling down. >> this is a civil suit. and it's about business. and if you notice donald trump, he's so passionate when he talks about his business deals and his business dealings. he's not going to back down on this. and this is what republicans feel is so reprehensible about this because he's effectively equating someone's ethnicity with bias. which would mean if a woman were sitting at a judge on a case of, say, sexual assault, would she not be able to judge that case because she's a woman? because of her sexuality? so if you start equating ethnicity with bias, it goes on and on. this is not what republicans want it to be about after the last election. they had the autopsy and said he had to be more inclusive. but this is donald trump making hi

gloria borger.ow, on trump's words, what do you think do it alone means? and how might he pull that off? >> look. i think he's angry. you can see it. i think what do it alone means you're fired. right? to use donald trump's parlance. it means that he's angry that he's seen the republicans back away from him and they're angry and frustrated at him after his remarks about the judge and after his remarks post-orlando. and they've been doing contortions to say that we will -- we need party unity and support the nominee but they're starting and you have seen it over the last week or two to back away from him. he's furious about it. and what he's saying is, okay, folks. if i'm not going to have party uni unity, then just be quiet an i'll run on my own. that's really difficult to do, particularly trying to raise money. but i think trump was kind of giving them a warning. okay? you want to back away from me? fine. i'm going to go oat this withou you. >> so -- okay. so there's that. then you have chris murph

and gloria borger joining us in a few minutes as well. your bottom line. what did you think of hillary clinton's attack on donald trump's economic record? we know in recent weeks, she's gone after him on national security foreign policy today. it was a direct attack on the economy. >> two thoughts, going directly at what he considers his great strength. he's a businessman that built the multi billion dollar empire. that's the core of his reputation to the extent people know what he's about. he knows how to build wealth. she went directly at that and connected it to his own economic policies. the other thing she did, there is a case donald trump occasionally makes. a much more economically populist message that's a break with traditional republican economic orthodoxy. she's gone after things like he doesn't want to raise the minimum wage even though on occasion, suggested he'd be open to that. he went after, she went after him on taxes in saying his tax plan is just the traditional republican tax cuts for the wealthy even though on occasion, donald trump ha

facts inside politics editor john king, senior political reporter, political analyst david bergen, gloria borgers supporter bill press, clinton supporter michael nutter, former mayor of philadelphia and here to lend expertise senior analyst jeffrey toobin. gloria, definitely a lot of moving pieces in this statement, but if anybody was looking to donald trump to say i was wrong, i'm sorry, that's not what this statement says. >> no, it wasn't. and he's never said that during the campaign. i think people shouldn't expect that from donald trump. what i think he did do is try to walk it back to a degree by saying i do not feel one's heritage makes them incapable of being impartial. but then he kind of reiterated the case again and said i'm done with it, i'm not going to talk about it anymore, which is clearly in response to the fact all these republicans are twisting themselves into knots trying to figure out how to deal with it and distance themselves from donald trump on this particular issue. he's caused such headaches in the republican party it's kind of astonishing to watch. because these peopl

he used teleprompter, gloria borger.rlier from one of our commentators almost seemed like paul ryan hijacked teleprompter. this is the speech that republicans wanted. >> well, it was his tone that was different, but he just called her corrupt. >> called her a liar multiple times. >> and a liar so, you know, the tone was different. the language in the speech was quite strong, and what he was trying to do also was have kind of a broader appeal here to use, to go to the sweet spots of the republican party where they want to branch out, you know, to talk about judges, for example. he didn't talk about mass deportation today. he didn't talk about his muslim ban, for example. this was all about hillary clinton and characterizing her and identifying her and portraying her the way he wants to portray her in the presidential campaign in a way that can get republicans to unify behind him. >> and to write some checks. >> and perhaps persuade independents as well. >> persuade some doubtful independents which was why he was so populi

we want to bring in gloria borger and patrick healy.ssume the clinton people thought the secretary of state clinton's experience as secretary of state, they would have had an advantage on foreign policy. >> right. however, they're up against somebody, as john was saying, who is perceived to have great strength. so what they're now looking at is saying, okay, he might be perceived as having great strength but he is a risk. he doesn't have the temperament to be commander in chief. on the risk front, they will point to things he said on foreign policy. he has taken back on the ban on muslims. and he will turn to her and say you were part of this administration and we still have isis and terrorists. >> and the arab spring happened on your watch. >> so experience can cut both ways. >> clearly, donald trump seems to be, i'm not sure if reigning in is the right word but his campaign has become more traditional. i assume, that probably helps him fight back on that temperament issue. >> i think it does. usually he would put out a statement after

john tasini, jay lovell, clinton supporter, new york speaker christine quinn and david gergen and gloria borger. jonathan senior, start with you. the fact that secretary clinton said she believes a lot of senator sanders supporters will get on board with her candidacy, makes it sound inevitable. is it? >> i know i'm going to have to rain in the party a little bit. as bernie said, the struggle continues, and respectfully to the secretary, the primary process is not wrapped up, there's a primary in washington, d.c. next week. there's a huge steep hill to climb, but we're still making the argument, bernie may change his mind, i have been with him since the beginning, make the argument to superdelegates. i think coming out of the convention, whoever is the nominee that we are going to have a purpose that unites us. and that is to defeat donald trump. there's no question about that. bernie sanders made it very clear that he will work overtime as the nominee to defeat donald trump. >> christine, do you think it is possible for donald trump to pick up sanders support? >> i think that's impossible and

want to bring in the panel, hillary clinton supporter, bill clinton adviser, and maria car donna, gloria borger, kayleigh mcenany, and tara setmayer. speaking both sides as we said are using this going forward. >> they are. hard to say now who would benefit the most from it. two things are important here. the obama legacy is on the line, immigration reform, and this movement he had on executive orders is a big part of his legacy and that's been defeated in the court. it will be a big issue in this campaign. the other one is it puts the supreme court front and center again. people now know the stakes. so the question is who benefits. it gives trump the opportunity to hit on his best issue, which is building the wall and immigration, what attracted people to his campaign. it gives hillary clinton an opportunity to consolidate voters in states like florida, nevada, colorado. >> richard, hillary clinton is saying this is or democrats say it is a prime example why you need a full supreme court. had justice antonin scalia been on the court, it wouldn't have been a tie. >> we don't know what the decis

cnn's chief political analyst gloria borger, david gregory, the host of "the david gregory show" podcast and peter bergen. our national security analyst. doesn't get more different than you heard these two presumptive presidential nominees outline their response to what happened in orlando. >> no, you know, we saw hillary clinton do as she's done before, her solutions. how she'll establish a task force but she did call trump dangerous, which we've also heard from her before. and what we heard from trump is the democrats don't know what they're doing. their s they're sitting on their hands. no progress against isis. standing behind his ban. his regional ban, not his religious ban, but regional ban. but they have completely different ways to handle this. >> hold on, guys. for a moment. there's a police news conference that's just beginning in orlando. the latest on the investigation into the terrorist attack at that pulse nightclub. let's listen in. >> orlando mayor buddy dyer. i'd like to thank all of my partners standing here with me today and many others who come from all over the natio

john king, senior political reporter nia malika henderson, david gurgen, chief political analyst gloria borger, donald trump supporter, cnn political commentator mary kathrine ham. and host of the bill press show, who would that be? bill press, and michael nutter who is a hillary clinton supporter. so, caylee, let's just start with you. you're the trump supporter in the room. donald trump issuing this statement. do you think this will put this controversy to bed? we had even house speaker paul ryan today say that the comments mr. trump made were the definition of racist. >> well, first of all, it's certainly not textbook racism, first of all mexicans and ethnicity it's not a -- >> it's a little pedantic, call it bigotry. >> if you're calling someone racist at the end of the day this is what it boils down to people calling donald trump this making judgment on his character as a person. that's a wrong claim to make. >> how would you characterize the remark he made? >> i think it was poorly worded. i think he had viable claims against the judge. i think he had reasons to suspect the judge were bi

grew griffin, gloria borger and mark preston. i shouldn't say quartet. >> i'm a tenor. >> knights of the round table. >> and acosta is a beauty. speaking of, let's listen. he's been feisty from the beginning. >> a little bit, yeah. >> but today he took a swipe at you. let's listen to this. >> to follow up on that, you keep calling us the dishonest press, the disgusting press. >> generally speaking. that's 100% true. go ahead. >> i disagree with that sir. it seems as though you're resistant to scrutiny, the kind of scrutiny that comes with running for president of the united states. >> i like scrutiny. but you know what? excuse me. excuse me. i've watched you on television. you're a real beauty. >> i was watching. what was the reaction in the room. >> i felt like little marco and lyin' ted for a minute there. this is part of donald trump's shtick. we've seen this throughout this campaign, whether he's talking about gop rivals, whether he's talking about crooked hillary as he calls hillary clinton or crazy bernie as he calls bernie

our cnn correspondent sunlen serfaty, chief analyst gloria borger, and commentator.ulating about him and his businesses. how might he try to change the conversation as he is often good at doing. >> i was talking to republicans today, wolf, asking that very question, the answer that came up a couple of times is talk about what your administration would look like and how you would governing. in other words, one way to change the conversation might be surprising. name the people in your administration. who would be your secretary of defense, who would be secretary of state. he says he wants to name the vice president at the convention. set that aside. but who's your national security adviser? who is the team you would be talking to. say oh, i like the people he is surrounding himself with. even if i have questions about donald trump, i kind of like the team. that would be an interesting way to change the conversation. >> it is interesting, rebecca. donald trump says he has affidavit statements from a lot of students that attended trump university saying show me movies w

toobin, loni chen, policy director for mitt romney, david chalian, and chief political analyst gloria borgeran's response when i asked him if he trusts donald trump. he sort of laughed, said it is a binary choice, doesn't agree with trump on some issues. does that response in still confidence in republicans that are grappling with the idea of donald trump as the nominee? >> you know, wolf, i'm not sure it inspires confidence but what it does is it shows them a path forward to getting to yes. i was struck about how he kept talking about the by narrow choice, which means compared to what. he kept saying over and overlook, i may disagree with donald trump. i think when compared to hillary clinton, donald trump has a better chance leading this country in the direction i want to take it, so he doesn't have to say look, i agree with him on everything, which he clearly said to you he doesn't, but he kept going back to a notion of i don't want hillary clinton leading the country for a host of reasons. and that's why i'm going to be here for donald trump. and talking to republican strategists, wolf,

toobin, and "the washington post" assistant editor david swerdlick, and chief political analyst gloria borger i want to ask you about donald trump talking about his cabinet, about saying i am going to rule this out long before the election. obviously that would make his cabinet members targets months ahead of when they normally would be. do you think this is ignorance about the process or him saying i have serious people to be part of my organization. >> i think he is trying to beef up his political resume, if you will. we don't know whether he is definitely going to do it or not. he seems to think it sounded like a good idea, wasn't sure if anyone had done that previously, but for him on one hand, he might say okay, these are the really smart, talented experienced people who i want to put in top policy positions. when you haven't been in government service before and you don't have a government record, you know, that might be an advantage. but as you point out there's a real flip side to this which is that these people also become targets and their credentials are looked at and pored over by

bring in dana bash, gloria borger, and jeffrey toobin. p to revoke press credentials for "the washington post." >> it kind of leaves me scratching my head, as sara was saying, this is something that the campaign has done in the past, they didn't like a head line on the piece. >> on "the washington post." >> on "the washington post" story. the question is that trump in that interview was really unclear. the question to me is what was trump trying to say there about president obama. >> i think it is pretty clear what he was saying. >> he was insinuating the president has another agenda. >> that he is not a real american, a loyal american. let's remember why donald trump is famous as a politician in the first place, because he spent months claiming that falsely that president obama was not born in the united states. the whole birther story is how he became a politician and this statement is simply an extension of that suggesting that the president is not a real american. >> he did tweet that's not what he meant, but didn't tweet out what he d

let's bring in jeff zeleny, gloria borger, political director david chalian and mark preston. p speaking about his fellow republicans with a warning. >> you know, the republicans honestly, folks, our leaders have to get tougher. this is too tough to do it alone. but you know what, i think i'm going to be forced to. i think i'm going to be forced to. our leaders have to get a lot tougher. and be quiet, please be quiet, don't talk, please, be quiet. please be quiet to the leaders because they have to get tougher, sharper, smarter. we have to have republicans either stick together or let me do it by myself. i'll do very well. >> very unusual, says be quiet, don't talk. >> i think it is a game of we quit you're fired. and donald trump was firing the republican leadership for opening their mouths and disagreeing with him, and this is something i've never seen. i don't know if you folks have. i have never seen republican party leadership being more distant or distancing themselves than they are from donald trump. i have to tell you, wolf, today i talked to a couple of sources who are

chief political analyst gloria borger, ryan lizza, washington correspondent and executive editor markreston. gloria, today's engorsmedorseme expected but what kind of impact do you think it will have? >> well, the timing is that it couldn't happen fast enough as far as the president was concerned and orchestrated properly, you see the president walking with bernie at the white house, sanders meeting with the vice president talking to hillary clinton this was kind of soft dip employee see at work and bernie sanders coming out and talking about defeating donald trump and i think they want to get on the same page and the president is just itching to get out there and we've seen that during recent appearances. he's been talking about donald trump and you can see that he wants to get out on the campaign trail. this is his legacy and it lies with hillary clinton. >> mark, what do you think of the future plans? >> well, certainly the meeting with barack obama is being viewed internally as a very good meeting. they were happy with the outcome. they knew the endorsement was coming. as far as g

secretary clinton, our chief political correspondent dana bash is with us, chief political analyst, gloria borgeryst jeffrey toobin. gloria, what do you make of her tone as far as senator sanders is concerned? >> she's all open arms as are all democrats. look, there's a difficult dance going on right now, wolf. she has to make sure senator sanders and his supporters to feel like they have an impact and that they're being listened to, and they have to see some deliverables. i think what's going on now is sort of a kind of diplomacy where senator sanders will meet with the president where then i presume he and hillary clinton will have to iron a bunch of things out. nobody wants to rush senator sanders into doing something he's not ready to do, it's got to be his own timetable, but hillary clinton needs his supporters and needs senator sanders to help her out here in this general election fight and so she's going to do everything she can to embrace him and his people. >> dana, did she shed any light on her vice presidential thoughts because this is obviously a critical decision. >> not much. look,

. >> some reporting this is fresh here we good cnn's jim acosta and gloria borger are reporting thatling out soon a temporary immigration ban. no longer focused on muslims but on people coming from countries who train and equip terrorists. can he make that pivot? >> on the face of it he is ridiculous. he may be able to do it optically and rhetorically but that's a ridiculous proposal. just look at some of the recent european terrorist attacks. perpetrated by europeans. yes, muslims. but europeans. how would we stop a homegrown european terrorist from coming over if they are coming from france or brussels or great britain. it is just a nonsolution. not serious. and i think it shows that they are are sort of cowing to the leaders in his party who think okay, you can't go this far. well instead of going that far he is taking it back and not getting any more substantive though or taking issues any more seriously. just sort of, like i said, cowing under the case of the pressure. >> peter, what do you think? >> yeah. i agree. you know, maybe there was a moment after he locked up the nomina

let's bring in "the washington post" assistant editor david swerdlick, chief political analyst gloria borgerrespondent jeff zeleny. gloria, what are you hearing about what happened behind the scenes? >> i think the timing of this was a surprise to everybody except trump's family but this had been talked about in inner trump circles for quite some time. i think there are a couple of things going on here, one of which was corey lewandowski's management style, which is brusque and difficult for a lot of people to deal with. 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 schedule, that there was a general sense that the campaign had moved beyond corey lewandows

joining us now, our executive editor mark preston, gloria borger and peter pibeinart.lels between what just happened with the uk and what is happening here in the united states involving his campaign. do you see those parallels? >> i think he may be right, to a degree, if you look at the voting in brexit. you see older, less well-educated white voters who have a strong sense of nationalism, who see their economic prospects dimmed, who are against trade deals and disaffected from the establishment and i think you see that, you know, in the united states as well. i mean, what trump is saying, however, is that brexit won so i'm going to win. i wouldn't cross that bridge. but there are parallels, absolutely. >> peter, what do you think? was there a similar populist agenda here in the uk and united states that could impact the general election in november? >> yeah. there's certainly similarities that gloria pointed out the the big difference is that brexit is an idea and trump is a person. it would be the kind of equivalent of us having a referendum of leaving nafta. trump'

chief political analyst, gloria borger, ana navarro, and "the washington post" assistant editor davidof you for coming in for the conference call, ana that donald trump had with supporters, saying keep on criticizing the judge, talk about this, think she has a winning side, what's your reaction. >> i think he is digging a deeper and deeper hole for himself, amazing the reaction that has finally come from republican leadership today, it has been necessary. this moment with the judge was the straw that broke the camel's back. for a long time thought we had to be quiet and look the other way out of party loyalty. republican leaders have finally understood if you are loyal to the republican party, you must be compelled to speak out against something so offensive, so wrong, so unethical because if not, the republican party and these elected leaders will have to face the consequences, we will be stuck with this dead, rotting albatross around their neck. it is important they speak out, important they continue to do it, and confront the discriminatory, blatantly racist statements. >> you hear

we have jeff zel any and knee amalik henderson and gloria borg borger. he is changing positions mere. >> this etch-a-sketch moment as one of mitt romney's former aides famously put it. look, i think donald trump, his temporary ban on muslims entering the country is very popular with the republican base. it is not so popular with leaders in congress and it is not so popular with independent voters. it may well be unconstitutional. so there needed to be some kind of shifting. question is, to what? b what we were hearing yesterday and others are hearing, it is not completely formed yet, is that he would shift away from this ban on muslims to some kind of a ban from terrorist states. we are not quite sure how that would work. would it be a ban, would it be vetting? it's not well-conceived at this point. it is a shift. he realizes he has to move into a different mode. the question is, nair has to be a policy. we don't have that yet. >> it seems to me he has tried to be on both sides of things. he is giving red meat speeches. i was in mount sles sait. pleas ca

gloria borger is with us. dana bash, peter bergen, david gergen.linton's speech an hour or so ago and implied severe criticism of donald trump. never mentioned his name at all. he was not that reluctant. >> no. she talked about scapegoating in reference to his policy on muslims and his ban. but she didn't mention donald trump's name. this speech was all about hillary clinton. this speech was laying the blame for all of this basically at the feet of hillary clinton. he said hillary clinton supports policies that promote the growth of radical islam. and he said the days of deadly ignorance will end. he declared the end of political correctness. he said very strongly that, you know, you can't, you know, you can't have political correctness and attack the problem at the core. and, you know, is very clear to me that we saw today two completely different visions of what we have to do to stop these attacks in this country. and also, by the way, he had this reasoning which said that hillary clinton can never be a friend of the gay community if she lets in

we have gloria borger with us, nia-maleka henderson and ron brown steen. what did you think? >> i think dana asked every question she needed to ask him and like he was in an alternate universe saying he didn't know why he was fired and that the campaign had been going well. and that one thing that did strike me, wolf, asda that tried to point out to him, obviously dysfunction in this campaign, he kept on talking about the people who have been here, quote, from the beginning. right? and it's clear when he kept saying that to me that there was this split between the folks like corey who had been there since day one and newer people like paul manafort brought on later on in the campaign and didn't talk about being relentlessly on mess and. he was usually supportive of donald trump saying he can run a different kind of campaign because he can go directly to the people. talking about the support he has in congress. even mentioning paul ryan and mitch mcconnell whom as you all know have said they'll support the nominee and, you know, had difficulty with trump. so, stayed on message
