. >> katrina pearson speaks for the donald trump campaign, joining us now live. thanks very much for joining us. i wanted to get official reaction from the trump campaign. you're the official reaction. hillary clinton says donald trump calls himself the king of debt. donald trump did file four bankruptcies over the years in atlantic city. i want to get your immediate reaction to this very blistering attack on his business record. we just heard from hillary clinton. >> well, you know, wolf, mr. trump had four bankruptcies on business side. never a personal bankruptcy. a lot of times, you have use restructures to preserve jobs. hillary clinton talks about atlantic city, where donald trump got out, because he saw the way it was going in atlantic city, and you have to look at the politicians and place at the time. we've seen from the federal level how burdensome regulations always hurt the business environment. the reason why mr. trump is running is simply because things like nafta, something that hillary clinton pushed, and is currently pushing for the transpacific

i mention katrina pearson earlier, national spokesperson for trump and the appeal for term for these women is that he is antiestablishment and willing to break the rules and willing to sort of shake things up in a way that they feel the republican party will never be able to do and also this trump emergence in our political debate in the last year, he has brought immigration reform to the forefront and sort of renewed debate on immigration. it wasn't as big of an issue when i interviewed these women in 2012 through 2013, but i have found there are lots of anti- immigration language, lots of anti- muslim language and i think that for those women they find appeal in trump's message that he wants to make america great again. remember some of the things early tea party activists say, want to take america back. so there is simply for some tea party women towards donald trump however, having said that there are some tea party women who believe he is essentially not trustworthy, not truly authentically conservative. sort of railing against trump saying he did not really uphold a contrary--

joining us katrina pearson. >> good to be here, thank you.ia: obviously another devastating blow to law enforcement. what was donald trump's biggest issue with president obama's news conference yesterday? >> the problem we have, maria, we have a president who has contributed heavily to what we are seeing today. black lives matter started two years before donald trump got into the presidential race and it started because it was the president who has embraced this organization called black lives matter that has called for hostility toward the police, it was the dnc that passed a resolution given legitimacy to black lives matter and even wanted to host a town hall with this group of people that has targeted the police since day one. he has the audacity to go out there and tell everyone to watch their rhetoric, it was the president, first black president that injected himself to local issues that had to do with race and expect everyone else to deal with the fallout and that's the problem. maria: yeah, we have been talking about it all morning, th

. >> joining us now with reaction from dallas, trump campaign national spokeswoman katrina pearson. the very little guy, i'm guessing he tweeted about little michael bloomberg. is that who he was talking about? >> well, m trump didn't say, so i won't say, but your inferance could be spot on. and the quotes are really indicative of why mr. trump is beating her in the polls right now. we have a candidate willing to stand up and fight back for a change. >> it was very attack, kind of shocked me a little bit, too. this is what politics are all about. let's talk about what you just mentioned, mrs. clinton's comments. she was hitting mr. trump pretty hard on this tweeting issue. now, donald trump has done very well with twitter but she says because you can instigate a twitter fight with him, he may not be the guy that has access to the nuclear button. >> this is why mrs. clinton struggle was younger people, this is a medium of choice, and one of the ways mr. trump has been able to fight back against the liberal media and twitter has been a great resource for mr. trump. there are millions

katrina pearson, carly sellers, let's get to that speech last night, that nonendorsement.e she trying to explain why he did what he did. >> i'm not going to get into criticizing or attacking donald trump, but i will just give you this response. i'm not in the habit of supporting people who attack my wife and my father. >> and that pledge was not a blanket commitment that if you slander and attack hidy, that i'm going to come like a servile puppy dog and thank you for maligning my wife and my father. >> katrina, there you have it from senator cruz. was it worth it? that retweet that donald trump made that was insulting heidi cruz? was it worth it going on "fox and friends" and spewing that nonsense about lee harvey oswald and his dad? >> i will also say this as a simple excuse. if you go back to thomas jefferson and john adams, there are way far attacks. cruz pledged to support the nominee, and the fact that he wants to use this excuse to get out of it is absurd. >> in march, donald trump appeared on a cnn town hall, and he discussed it. let's roll that tape. >> he doesn't

joining me right now trump campaign national spokesperson katrina pearson, chris wilson, good to have all of you here. katrina, what did you think? had you held out hope that he would come through? he showed up and actually do the endorsement. >> i'm not sure that we expected the endorsement but we did feel like he should have and hoping that the energy in the room would let the senator that now is the time. this is the problem. there's a group of political constituents in the republican party who essentially live in an echo chamber. the people want to get behind donald trump whether agree with all of his policies, again at the end of the day this is about november and he was given an opportunity. this was donald trump's way of saying, look, i agree, we need unity, he's taking those extra steps, offered him a prime time slot. trish: that's an interesting point. he did not require that he actually say what he should probably would have said if he accept it had invitation. you heard lou dobbs last night. this guy is not an honorable guy because he needed to do something and just refused

i interviewed katrina pearson who hosted the tea party in dallas, texas and if that sounds familiar, you probably see her of thought on tv these days. she started a tea party in texas as their first soirÉe into tea party politics. she felt the decentralized nature of the tea party holds a lot greater appeal for current serving of women in the republican party. social media is crucial to this as well. women can be overlooked for this platform in the tea party. it used to be men in the gop are male leaders could take a woman's idea of their realm. the social media, women can be attributed to define their own brand and have your ideas heard. you don't have to go through the good old boys club any longer. other tea party women who are very highly critical of the republican party point to the negative treatment that someone, michele bachmann running for higher office as evidence the gop is not exactly very welcoming of its women becoming leaders in the party. others complained the republican party is too slow moving into bureaucratic. jamie beth martin told me you don't have to cut throug

bernard, you listen to do katrina pearson. is push back on hillary clinton's speech last night by the trump camp. >> here is the thing that katrina and more importantly donald trump does not get. and it was summed up in three words by hillary clinton last night. e blur business union numb. we are all in this together. it was the most profound moment for me in the entire convention. it's something that the trump campaign certainly doesn't get. i think that hillary clinton need to do do three things last night. number one she need to do try sharp contrast with donald trump's vision for america and policies. i think she nailed that. >> appears to be transparent. toen heart felt. what i heard was, yes, beginning of the speech was like that but then the basis, the meat of that speech was attacking donald trump. >> but, eric, she drew a contrast to donald trump. donald trump believes in division, divisive negativity. >> means we aring to, democrats or the country? >> democrats, republicans and the independents. >> she called the shot

joining us now, the donald trump campaign national spokeswoman katrina pearson.very much for joining us. >> great to be here. >> as far as you know, is there any evidence to suggest your campaign or the donald trump campaign has been hacked? >> no, not at all. i've heard nothing about our campaign being hacked. we do take extra measures to secure our communications. after all, we were one of the only ones talking about hillary clinton's e-mail scandal and the fact her server was insecure. >> is donald trump concerned a foreign government might be trying to sway this election? >> i think everyone is concerned that a foreign government is hacking at all. there was something mr. trump talked about a long time ago. abc news reported the dnc were told they needed to update their security measures and they didn't. >> the democratic national committee, their e-mails were hacked. the justice department and fbi are looking at if they have been hacked. if more information is released, embarrassing information to hillary clinton, the democrats, will the trump campaign explo

lou: joining us trump campaign national spokeswoman katrina pierson pearson.t's great to have you with us. we have a lot to cover in a lot going on the let's start with unity and the party is mr. trump satisfied with the way things are going with the help that he's getting from the republican leadership? >> i think from the beginning lou mr. trump has been very committed and doing what is necessary to bring the party together and as we have seen for the most part the party has come together. there are couple of leaders out there who are a little hesitant to come on board but for the most part it's going really well. the folks on the ground are very excited. everyone is geared up and ready for the convention but overall it's -- lou: that convention is coming at us in a hurry. keynote speakers, do we have any inside information on who is going to be driving things? >> it's going to be a great convention. it's definitely not going to be your normal boring clinical convention. donald trump brought in some really great people to put this together. we are going to r

katrina pearson is with us, trump national spokesman. to see the ted cruz script, now we understand manafort will take a look at it but no guarantee ted cruz stick to the script, he could surprise everybody. >> absolutely he could. at the same time, this is going to be an opportunity for ted cruz to show all of america who he is, this is someone who made his way through the conservative movement by being the constitutional conservative, by wanting to put the will of the people outfront. if he wants a political future he has got to show the 13 million republican voters who chose mister trump that they can count on him to support the nominee. every candidate says they support the nominee. this will be his opportunity for that. stuart: you are giving him an opportunity to look good for the 2020 election. he could use tonight's speech as a springboard for four years hence, couldn't he? >> i think you are assuming president trump wouldn't be doing a good job in that four years, we are not concerned about that. we know donald trump when he bec

. ♪ >> trump spokesperson katrina pearson. >> this has definitely been a moment where i don't know ifor sad that this has happened. to see this sort of unfold let's you know how awful things of gotten in this country where sentiments, the people who have been targeted are the people we call for help. liz: the chief of police, making a poignant plea, a plea for the end of divisiveness, people in the country feeling demoralized, that they are not living together as americans and in it together when we see instances like this happening in dallas and minnesota and louisiana. how do you think mister trump will react to that? people are desperate for unity in the country? >> they really are. people are talking about the problems we have, whether it is happening in dallas. what we have are symptoms of a much greater problem over decades in the country, that is a severe lack of leadership and this has been on both sides. we have a president right now, for crying out loud, who injects himself into local events like the police acted stupidly, looks like it could have been my son, remain silent

katrina pearson is with us, trump's national spokesperson. with the trump bashing because it puts his name out front. he dominates the news, doesn't he? >> absolutely does, but more importantly, this is the only line of defense the democrats have, to tear mister trump down, assassinate his character. hillary clinton is losing white women, she's losing young women and now she is down double digits with independents who are supporting donald trump. we are a little over three months from the election and they are losing so this is what you see as their strategy. stuart: you did see the media jump all over donald's comment yesterday about russians and hacking and emails. without getting into that argument what it demonstrated was the danger of allowing donald trump to go with no prompter, no notes, no script, answering questions rapidfire, there is danger in that. >> not necessarily. what i think is americans are keenly aware the media and the dnc are working to destroy the candidacy of donald trump and mister trump will go down in history as the
