clinton will convene a bipartisan working session with national security including john allen, janet napolitano, and david petreaus. we do have word that clinton will release a new ad later this morning focussing on middle ground solutions. however, we are now seeing something new from clinton as she pushes her personal story out to voters. here she was before african-american church goers speaking of her own baptist faith and turning the tables on trump. >> we are facing a candidate discrimination in his business. who traffics in toxic conspiracy theories like the lie that president obama is not a true american. if he doesn't even respect all americans, how can he serve all >> that's a series of personal posts written by clinton in a new york blog. that's an on-line blog. >>> meanwhile, donald trump is pushing forward an education plan, but not before defending his claim that he opposed the war in iraq from the very start. a claim clinton and journalists have repeatedly debunked. a posting despite the media saying no, yes, no. i was opposed to the war from the very beginning, long before my in

they were there with homeland security secretary janet napolitano now the president of the university of california. trump says she is trigger happy. >> totally trigger happy. she is raced to invade, intervene and topple regimes. >> reporter: north korea announced it has conducted another nuclear weapons test! whoever wins in november will have to deal with the communist country. the clinton campaign says she plans to use sanctions to further isolate north korea and she will seek help from china. >> so it's vital we bring the world together to stop north korea's dangerous game. >> reporter: trump's campaign issued a statement saying, north korea's nuclear program grew stronger while clinton was secretary of state. trump's manager won't say how he would stop their nuclear program. >> he would make sure that they would never use it. >> how? >> he is not going to reveal all his plans. he made that very clear. and maybe somebody can ask him in a debate. >> reporter: the first presidential debate is in 17 days. today the clinton campaign said 110 retired generals and admirals are endorsing

bipartisan group of high-profile security experts in new york tomorrow, ud michael chertoff, and janet napolitano. they're going to be discussing terrorism and how to defeat isis, and it's safe to predict, scott, that there won't be a lot of smiling at that meeting, either. >> pelley: nancy cordes, thanks. perhaps the biggest controversy erupted over trump and russian president vladimir putin. here's major garrett. >> if he says great things about me, i'm going to say great things about him. i've already said he is really very much of a leader. >> reporter: at the national security forum last night, on russian president vladimir putin, an adversarial strongman known for jailg dissidents and controlling the media. >> the man has very strong control over a country. now, it's a very different system, and i don't happen to like the system, but, certainly, in that system, he's opinion a leader, far more than our president has been a leader. >> reporter: hillary clinton defended president obama and called trump's comments "alarming." >> that is not just unpatriotic and insulting to the people of our co

janet napolitano did that on the 18th of april, 2013.re was no saudi individual that was a person of interest, subject of interest or was ever going to be deported on terrorism charges. there was only one problem, she was lying. so that's a bold statement, right? well, how would i know it? i told you i used to work at the national targeting center. i had the evidence in my hand. i knew she was lying. and now that person that -- the department of homeland security said doesn't exist is suing glenn beck right now. this is an intrusion of sharia law, slander and defamation, which is a capital offense through the you a pisses of the saudi government against an american citizen. the judge just ruled on the 10th of august that he has to disclose his confidential sources. well, who might that be? and where does a foreign government or foreign national have any standing in america to sue an american citizen regardless of what you think of glenn beck he is still an american citizen. al harvey was a real person despite all the efforts to the contr

>> according to janet napolitano. >> yeah. >> remember the cartoon resolution, the famous three nos, no peace, no negotiation, no recognition of israel after the '67 war? janet napolitano did that before jeff duncan in homeland security committee on the 18th of april, 2013. there was no saudi individual who was a person of interest, a subject of interest and was never going to be deported on terrorism charges. there was only one problem. she was lying, so that's a bold statement, right? well, how would i know it? i told you i used to work at the national targeting center. i had the evidence in my hand. i knew she was lying, and now that person that -- the department of homeland security says doesn't exist is suing glenn beck right now. this is an intrusion of sharia law, slander and defamation, hiba, which is a capital offense, through the auspices of the saudi government against an american citizen. the judge just ruled on the 10th of august that he has to disclose his confidential sources. well works might that be? around what does a foreign government or a foreign national have an

clinton after she came out of this meeting with pretty notable national security names including janet napolitano and david petraeus and mike morrell and was measured when she was speaking and differet from the hillary clinton we hear on the campaign trail. but it seems that both the candidates are competing for credibility when it comes to national security and defense. donald trump coming more army generals and military personnel who back his candidacy while hillary clinton clearly trying to get a leg up on donald trump today as well. >> chris: scott, briefly, 9/11 the 15th anniversary do candidates have anything planned? >> reporter: as you might expect they will not be on the campaign trail. both candidates agreed to pull down their tv ads for that day. we know that secretary clinton observe a moment of silence at the time the first plane hit the north tower. donald trump, meanwhile has not yet formally announced his plans for this sunday but his running mate mike pence will be at an indianapolis colts game as capacity as governor of indiana not as a vice presidential candidate. >> denise: al

congress had been asking for this number for years dating back to janet napolitano.had the courage to author, commission the report, wanted to get it out. when he tried to get it out, he was told he had to go to the white house domestic policy counsel cecil moon knows. >> who told him. >> the people at dhs told the consultants hired to do the report you have to go to the white house before we can let this out. it has to be coordinated with the domestic policy council. >> involved with keeping this thing down. he didn't put it out on his own. he said you have got to run it by the white house. of course, the white house doesn't want it out there. that's the bottom line? >> that is the bottom line. they had a meeting. 13 people. they yelled at each other. they said we want it out. they said no way. political reasons you are not going out. >> all right. it will get out now that you reported it and by the way that is an exclusive by william la jeunesse. good job. we appreciate you coming on tonight. the other security story this evening, hacking into private emails. this

there are a number of women who served at the homeland security department, former dhs head janet napolitanoor of a blog called security mom. >> hillary clinton tried to pivot from national security to outreach to the group of voters that put president obama in the white house? >> reporter: that's right. remember, those battleground states including north carolina are very, very close. so she traveled down to north carolina where she spoke at a mostly black university, a traditionally black university. then she traveled out to kansas city, where she addressed the national baptist convention, where she talked about her faith, being a methodist and being married to a baptist. here is what she said. >> i've made my share of mistakes, i don't know anyone who hasn't. everyone here today has stumbled on their own stoney paths. but it's also our job to learn from our mistakes, to do all we can, to do better next time. >> reporter: both the clinton and trump campaigns have called on a cease of all campaigning on sunday, the 15th anniversary of 9/11. but we just learned hillary clinton will attend th

david petraeus, janet napolitano, and this was a moment for secretary clinton to listen to their concernsand this comes on the 15 year anniversary of 9/11 coming up on sunday which heightens the awareness and the fears in this country of terrorism and the threats abroad. >> and while we wait, let me bring in david and gloria. she is hoping her words and presence of the men and women behind her will convey -- look at that, it is not quite the portico, but it is white house-esque. >> definitely, and the meeting itself earlier also was very well stage managed in that way. that kind of presidential stage craft. it is interesting to hear, jeff, when he referenced petraeus, that was a surge that hillary clinton opposed, that robert gates said she did so for political reasons. i wonder as donald trump on this day is going after hillary clinton for being trigger happy, for military venturism, to surround herself with folk that's bolster that image rather than break away from it. >> especially david petraeus. he was at the cia at the time. and for david petraeus to now come out, he has not endorse

a long list of military officials and other cia officials and others and janet napolitano, a democratic former homeland security. it is a bipartisan mix here. hillary clinton trying to make the case she is different than donald trump, she is listening to all sides of this issue here. it should be noted, some people have not endorsed her or supported her. they are offering their advice to either side. david petraeus is on that side. he has not endorsed hillary clinton. >> he had been talked about as a potential republican candidate once upon a time before the cia debalkle and the issue that brought him down with his paramour. the significance of david petraeus doesn't go unnoticed since he has been very bipartisan and hasn't said a word about either candidate. >> he has not waited on this election. >> not for lack of trying. >> this meeting will be happen thg afternoon. she is sort of squeezing this in between fund-raisers as all candidates do. it is significant the timing of this. 15 years since 9/11 on sunday, on the anniversary, we are told she will be at ground zero attending not in

leaders and experts, including former secretaries of homeland security, michael cherthoff and janet napolitanoll and commander, james staverites and others. we will discuss how to intensify our efforts to keep our country safe. to that end, i want to underscore something that i mentioned last night. we should make it a top priority to hunt down the leader of isis. abu baghdadi and bring him to justice just as we did with osama bin laden. getting baghdadi will require a focus driven effort at the highest levels, but it will send i resounding message that nobody directs or inspires attacks against the united states and gets away with it. let me be clear. last night was yet another test, and donald trump failed yet again. we saw more evidence that he is temperamentally unfit and unqualified to be commander in chief. he trash talked american generals, saying they, then, quote reduced to rubble. he suggested he would fire them, and replace them with his hand-picked generals. he attacked dozens of former officers by saying that, quote, we've been losing for a long time. that's how he talks about dis

they include big names like ousted cia director petraeus as well as janet janet napolitano. this is touching on a number of topics. the threat of lone wolves, counterterrorism and a whole host of other national security issues. hillary clinton is going to come out after this meeting and make a statement. we expect she's going to comment on that north korean missile test. so we'll be looking out for that. but this is aimed at doing a couple things. first of all, painting hillary clinton as a commander-in-chief. showing she can bring together a broad range of experts on any given topic to discuss a threat like isis. but also aimed at draw iing a sharp contrast with donald trump. the fact that he's made comments that had he can fix this alone. he can deal with what ails the country on his own. this is a part of a broader campaign shift within the clinton campaign. hillary clinton last night speaking at baptist church in missouri. getting more personal with voters and talking about her faith and how it helped to shape her. she's trying to really turn around some of those negativ

janet napolitano who are going to be sitting down at a table with secretary clinton discussing ways toisis, lone wolves, cyber security. those are just some of the topics that are going to be on the table here, i am told, andrea. and it's not all of these people have come out and endorsed secretary clinton, but flst no doubt this is a show of force. and i am told based on my conversations with officials that secretary clinton is going to be holding a number of these types of meetings in the coming days and in the coming weeks on a whole range of topics. the economy, education, to really try to paint herself as someone who looks like a commander in chief. and of course this fits into her broader argument that trump fails the commander in chief test. it's very much about the optics as much as it is about the substance today, andrea. >> this is becoming a bigger problem for republicans. other than mike pence who's of course zanding by, doubling down by the man with woman whom he's running, paul ryan, the house speaker asked about the vladimir putin issue, kasey, i want ask you about this

announced this morning that tomorrow she's having a forum to discuss how to defeat isis with both janet napolitano michael chertoff, both former homeland security secretaries, one republican, one democrat. she is bringing a bipartisan group together to solve the issues of this country. so first of all, there is no feud between her and colin powell. and she is already working across the aisle. >> all right, i have to leave it there. patti solis doyle, john phillips, thanks to both of you. >>> senator barbara boxer will be with me to talk next. t-mobile's coverage is unstoppable. we doubled our lte coverage. and, with extended range lte, it reaches farther than ever. now you can stream video and music free in more places without using any of your data. from skylines to coastlines, out in the country, deep in the city. we got you covered. 311 million americans and counting. and we won't stop. come see why t-mobile is #1 in customer satisfaction. is it a professor who never stops being a student? is it a caregiver determined to take care of her own? or is it a lifetime of work that blazes the path to

and experts, including former secretaries of state in homeland security, michael chertoff and janet napolitanoneral john allen, former director of the cia, michael morell, and the allied commander and others. we will continue to discuss how to keep our country safe. so to that end, i want to underscore something i mentioned last night. we should make it a top priority to hunt down the leader of isis, abu al baghdad dbaghdadi. getting al-baghdadi will require efforts at the top levels, but it will send a resounding message that nobody directs or inspires attacks against the united states and gets away with it. let me be clear, last night was yet another test. and donald trump failed yet again. we saw more evidence that he is temperamentally unfit and photoly uncaphot photoly uncalled qualified to b commander in chief. he said american generals will be reduced to rubble and he would fire them and replace them with hand-picked generals. he also said, quote, we have been losing for us for a very long time. that's how he talks about distinguished men and women who have spent their lives serving our

some of the folks meet with her include secretary michael chertoff, michael morel, janet napolitano,he former homeland security secretary and matt olson. just a few of the names that are here, steve. it's important to point out this is part of a broader strategy we're seeing within the clinton campaign. she's trying to show strength but also her more personal side as well. last night speaking at a baptist church in missouri and got very personal. talked about her methodist faith and how that really inspired her to get into public service. i'm told she is going to hold more of these types of meetings addressing a broad range of different topics. she's going to be giving speeches. and we'll be getting more up close and personal with voters. this all comes as the polls are getting tighter, steve. >> kristen welker across town in new york. again, lower right-hand corner of your screen. we're keeping an eye on that podium. we'll bring you hillary clinton as soon as she comes out to talk to the press. donald trump wrapping up those remarks at the values voters summit in washington, d.c. hi

janet napolitano. john allen among others. it's also though to does is the strategy to defeat isis, counterterrorism, lone wolves and other national security topics. she's trying to draw a contrast with donald trump this week in which the campaign believes he has made national security gaffes. she's trying to build on that momentum. by the wab this is a part of a broader news strategy to look tough while also getting a little bit more personal with voters. so you're going to see more meetings like this. secretary clinton sitting down with high-ranking officials to talk about a range of different topics. she's going to giving speeches in the coming weeks. but she's also going to try to get label the more personal. we is that true on display last night. she spoke at a baptist church in missouri. she talked about her method faith. so i think this is going to be a two-pronged approach, halli toerks gain momentum in the polls. >> kristen, i want you to talk about chelsea clinton in a second. let me go over to jacob rascon who is in

new york including former cia director david petraeus and former homeland security secretary janet napolitanoo surrogates on the campaign trail for her today, bill clinton in nepolitano. >>> that's a wrap for us on this friday. i'm alex witt and "morning joe" starts right now. >> libertarian presidential candidate gary johnson was on the msnbc and he had little trouble ask answering a basic question about syria. >> what would you do if you were elected about aleppo. >> about? >> aleppo. >> and what is aleppo? >> you're kidding. >> no. >> aleppo is in syria and the center of the refugee crisis. >> okay, got it, got it. aleppo. i thought you said a leopard. i was like -- what do i do about a leopard? praeb run away from

[applause] but it's also our job to learn from our mistakes, to do all we can to do better next time. >> reporter: she will be meeting with these national security advisers here at the national history society later this
