he did not bring up the topic, but i brought up the topic because of kelly ann conway's remark. and my assumption, you never assume when you're a reporter, you ask the question, he would say kelly ann conway was right in the question and would move on but did not say that and because he did not say that, there was some new value in the comments and i think what we see from trump right now, and i spent about three hours with him on the plane. a candidate looking at the pulse constantly. he sees himself on the rise. i've covered him for almost five years with the birther episodes and this is a candidate also running on his instincts, craig. he has advisors around him and jason miller with the statement and kelly ann, but it's trump alone at the end of the day. trump in the center with his gut listening to this but running on his instincts. >> do you get the sense based on all the time you spent with him, donald trump in his heart of hearts believed at one point that president obama wasn't actually a citizen of this country or do you think that donald trump saw this as an opportunit

up with of the questions i had was kelly anne conway campaign now believes president obama was born in the occupation him i had not heard trump, himself, say that so one of the questions i asked trump as we were signature across if his plane, is kelly anne conway accurate. i asked it several times, he said i don't want to answer that question, when i said is kelly anne accurate? he said, okay. i will not talk about that. we had a linkthy exchange. what he said i published tonight. >> the back the comment with this statement in 2011, mr. trump able bring this ugly incident to its conclusion by successfully compelling president obama to release his birth certificate. mr. trump did a great thing. rea. the campaign says the issue was news reports have brought up several trump tweets that show the nominee continue to question the president as repeat as 2014. >> the clinton camp jumped on trump's answer with the brian fallon tweeted quote trump ned to say it himself, on camera, and admit he was wrong tore trying to delegitimize the first african-american president. hillary clinton took to ta

kelly ann conway said the fix is in. and the media is unfair. ses from the networks are slandering against trump because they tweet 92 negative things about p trump, is she right? >> kelli ann conway skated on the lie that lester holt is, trump said he is a democrat. but she is a registered republican. he didn't know one way or the other. it was not a lie. they are out to get me and it is rigged and game he's playing with the election and debate and that's what he said to his audience. how can can i win. and anything above that is a victory. >> and they are not wrong. according to an indiana university survey, a mere seven percent of the mrb political journalist are republicans. >> we are talking about lester holt. he is a republican. >> but when he made that assumption. >> he didn't know what he was talking about. >> journalist republican? there is a tilt here you had all of hillary clinton's surrogate saying we need to fact check donald trump. and every minute to be a fact check and lester holt needs to say that hillary clinton can't do it hers

up with of the questions i had was kelly anne conway campaign manager said a week ago, trump now believesresident obama was born in the occupation him i had not heard trump, himself, say that so one of the questions i asked trump as we were signature across if his plane, is kelly anne conway accurate. i asked it several times, he said i don't want to answer that question, when i said is kelly anne accurate? he said, okay. i will not talk about that. we had a linkthy exchange. what he said i published tonight. >> the nominee tried to walk back the comment with this statement in 2011, mr. trump able bring this ugly incident to its conclusion by successfully compelling president obama to release his birth certificate. mr. trump did a great thing. rea. the campaign says the issue was laid to rest in 2011. news reports have brought up several trump tweets that show the nominee continue to question the president as repeat as 2014. >> the clinton camp jumped on trump's answer with the brian fallon tweeted quote trump ned to say it himself, on camera, and admit he was wrong tore trying to delegit

here was his campaign manager kelly anne conway earlier today. >> i don't think he's locked up for a cabin for two days. he's a brilliant man. >> is he doing mock debates and if so, who's playing the part of hillary. >> no one is playing part of hillary. we all know hillary clinton very well. she's easily flummoxed. she never anticipated our comeback in the last five years. >> for more now, i'm joined by hugh hewitt and jonathan capehart, opinion writer for "the new york post." the trump campaign loves this contrast, theyed that clinton is huddled with a team of researchers and psychologists and they're spending all this time on it and trump will show up and be himself. that's the contrast they like. do you think his actual approach, though, is that hands off or is he quietly behind the scenes doing more studying than i realized. >> what i saw on the stage is that he is a practiced television professional who spent hundreds of hours on stage but he is not a binder breaker as kelly anne conway just did. secretary clinton's greatest strength -- everyone has gone to high school. she's t

take a listen to kelly ann conway. >> they invited mark cuban which is fine. that's the right to invite whoever they want but make it like a controversial invite. have you said, it's not your best look. >> i will tell you that we were just putting the clinton campaign on notice. >> well, did donald trump tweet out that invitation at the request of his campaign? probably not. did he do it without his campaign knowing? probably so. and that's why you see kelly ann conway often clean up his, what you call, messes on tv. he talked about going on dr. oz and releasing the medical records and kelly saying of course he's not going to release his medical records on a tv doctor. and then donald trump went out and did it anyway. that's the real challenge with this candidate. you can tell him to do the right thing all you want but oftentimes, he just listens to his gut. there's a bee in front of your head, seeing it move. he does what he wants. he goes with his gut. he's tied in the poll. feeling confident and right now when he feels confident, that's when we see him make

but this morning on "morning joe," kelly ann conway called donald trump the babe ruth of debating. i don't know what planet that is lowering expectations. >> reporter: it is a conundrum and trying to game the system. trying to call out the ref saying you shouldn't be fact checking. they are saying that donald trump doesn't do much debate prep from what we've seen so far on the campaign seems to be true. at least we've come to know donald trump but at the same time, you're right, tamron. they do pump him up and pump his ego up but to say he's the babe ruth of debaters, i don't think that is necessarily raising expectations. nobody expects him to lay out the finer details of policy points. he's never done that before. if he does that now, that will come as a great surprise to everybody. even some of his own campaign aides who have admitted that he doesn't tend to take a great deal of interest into finer policy points. they believe that's something they'll be able to outsource to other people once they get into office who are more experts in that field. so this could just be a sense o

trump's campaign manager kelly ann conway gave us a preview of how trump is preparing himself for the debate and how his strategy will be. >> cares all of the time because he's a brilliant businessman who is always taking different pieces of information, weighing consequences and options. we saw him in the forum where he clearly won. why? because i think his answer is precise and confident. >> what makes it crucial it has been narrowing in many of the key swing states. until florida clinton's lead slunk to 5 points leaving trump within the poll's margin of error. trump was campaigning hard in north carolina where he hit clinton with other attacks. >> she calls the patriotic americans who support our campaign many cops and soldiers deplorable and ir redeemable? has she ever talked that way about radical islam or about those who oppose and murder women and gays overseas? knee no. >> trump heads to ohio. hillary clinton will head down to florida to keep her lead from shrinking even more. >> those debates will be huge. president obama taking a jab at donald trump making a speech to the u.

the campaign manager, kelly ann conway is not trying to lower expectations. listen to this. >> this guy is ready for tonight. he is a natural debater. he is gifted. he has gifts and skills that escape typical politicians. >> that was kelly ann conway. the senior adviser to the trump campaign, i know the 1kri79 for these things and the advisers and the campaign manager are lowering the bar and saying we will just be happy to have a nice night. why are you raising expectations? >> i don't think we are raising expectations, but we are coming to the game ready. donald trump has been preparing for this not just over the last year and a half, but his entire life. he has been creating jobs among the american people, and he will have a good night tonight. >> we are hearing from halle jackson, but this is a standard thing in modern campaigns. democrats and republicans, they will rehearse and have someone play the opponent. have to deal about w time constraints and 90 seconds. donald trump is not doing that? >> he hasn't done the mock debates. the way the candidates pr

kelly ann conway was asked about it and had an odd defense about something. here it is. >> he said lester holt was a democrat. he is a republican. how could he say such a thing that is black and white, factually incorrect. >> i don't know that he knew. >> without knowing, he aer issed he was a democrat. >> he lied about lester holt. >> he didn't lie. >> i think he did. >> mika, a lie didn't mean he knew his party registration. >> she was making the case if you make it up and you didn't know, it's not a lie. that's an odd juxtaposition here. he has a tendance tow say things and he blows past it. is he going to correct that? >> he needs to stay on the top line message of the future of america that is different than the status quo different than an effective third term of barack obama that failed this country on the international stage, the national stage, the economic front. lester holt, i'm sure he is going to be fair. i don't have an issue whatsoever with the location or the moderator. i think what we will see are these two candidates hopefully going at each

is he only coming out halfway on this by sending kelly ann conway out there, because he doesn't want is sorry. he still wants to get those african-americans back maybe in his column by saying, i'm good with that whole birther thing. >> first of all, ashleigh, i don't think we should presume that donald trump sent kelly ann t make that point or sent ru ru rudy out. >> he has fired two of his campaign directors. >> i am not saying he is not in control of his campaign. your highlighting the right thing. donald trump has surrogates out there talking about an issue that he refuses to talk about. this is the divide i don't understand. he was pressed, i don't talk about that. his surrogates are out there talking about it. either they are off the reservation by talking about it or donald trump as you are suggesting said, go out there and speak about it. i am still going to keep my position of not talking about it. that's a disjointed campaign. that doesn't make sense. the one thing that is clear, there has never been a shred of evidence that barack obama was not born in the united states. th

kelly ann conway on "the view" yesterday. let me play what she said. >> it starts out with the screaming headlines, as it usually does, he did business in cuba and it turns out that he decided not to invest there. if you read the entire story. >> are you denying his company spent any money? >> i think they paid money in 9 1998 but did his hotel invest money in 1998 in cuba? no. >> so her answer was obviously very convoluted. hillary clinton is in florida today. donald trump said i never went to cuba. i've never been to cuba. i never did business with cuba. and he kind of left it at that, in a sentence that went on and cuban americans, with something like this. especially the older cubans there. >> absolutely. if you look at the 2012 demographic breakdown in florida, obama won cuban americans in 2012. so this is a right of population for hillary clinton to target in 2016 and you look at other demographics booming. puerto rican population and ohio maybe going away from hillary clinton and towards donald trump's category. i thin

that prompted a series of responses first from donald trump's campaign manager kelly ann conway, whoawell said. axelrod hit back tweeting, transparency works both ways, kelly ann, where are donald trump's tax returns, health records, secret plans? then from clinton's director of communications, jennifer palmieri, we could have done better yesterday but it is a fact that the public knows more about hillary rodham clinton than any nominee in history, adding, in contrast to hrc, trump has been less transparent than any nominee in modern history. here's how clinton and her campaign handled the transparency question on the airwaves yesterday. >> i think that in retrospect we could have handled it better in terms of providing more information, more quickly, in those 90 minutes we were putting priority on making sure she was okay. but i do think in those 90 minutes we could have gotten more information out more quickly and that's on the staff, that's us, and we regret that. >> compare everything you know about me with my opponent. i think it's time he met the same level of disclosure that i

in a few minutes, as soon as we can get kellyanne conway back, we will let her >>> welcome back and as you know, we tape it live and when we get kellie annve, we will let her answer that last question, but let me bring in the panel, and in fact,ly go to her right now. kell kellie anne conway, i have a question and then we will end the interview. is donald trump going to give the public an explanation of how he is going to be walling off the business and so that there are no illusions of what is hang hanging offhis international and family business dealings. >> thank you, chuck, for the opportunity to answer this. his son, don, jr., addressed this on a different network friday and we will consult with the experts of what is needed to be done and comply with the laws. i hope that this same question is asked of secretary clinton now. i mean, they have said that they will shutdown the clinton foundation or get away from it, and the family if she is elected but why not now when we know that she was using the state department which you and i pay for as taxpayers as a concierge for foreign governments who came in with wads of cash asking for th

we'll see trump number two which is this kelly anne conway creation, trying to come in and seeing presidential. >> that's what the campaign w t wants to see publicly. behind the scenes, here is what we know. hillary clinton is staying traditional and preparation is crucial for her and her team. she's been on the national stage for these types of debates for years now. what her team is doing, she and top advisers have been running through mock debates and four hours at a time and two sessions. they went late into the night, trying to prep for the 9:00 p.m. start time tonight. >> donald trump has been more tight lit. inside trump tower, she's been meeting with top advisers and chris christie is not doing mock debates. what advisers telling me is they want him to be comfortable. that's the most important thing for donald trump, carol. >> all right, phil, thank you very much, joining me to talk about all of this politics, and our chair and presidential for the university. first, mark, off to you, we'll see both candidates on stage and they're going to touch each other. this is what people are aski

i picture kelly ann conway like a lion tamer trying to keep donald trump on his stool.confronted him with many different things that seemed wrong to me. for instance, i asked him, i told him that it was wrong that there was violence being incited at his rallies and that reporters were getting roughed up. he paused, yes, he listened but then disagreed and thought the violence added excitement. i said, how can you criticize bill clinton for infidelities? you're making that part of the campaign and maybe in the upcoming debates when you had one of the most famous infidelity scandals in new york history, the marla may best sex new york headline and said, well, i wasn't the president. and he always has some glib answer. he did not listen to me but my sister who has an essay in the book. like you, sometimes she's a republican and sometimes she's not. but i told him, said is your sister still voting for me? i said, no, because you retweeted this unflattering picture of heidi cruz and he tried to say it wasn't that unflattering. and said, why don't you just apologize and he did

think the context this comes back to the issue of trump's top surrogates like rudy giuliani, kelly ann conway said trump believes the president was born in the united states. the candidate, himself, hasn't said that. you have some of his supporters also not believes that he was born in the united states. she's now come out and apologized. she said i shouldn't have said half. as a clinton supporter, is there a percentage of trump supporters that you think are racist, sex assist, et cetera. >> i'm not going to go down that road. there's a element of his campaign that are just what my colleagues said that are racist, homophobic and we have thoeds words out of donald trump's mouth. it's not fair to say half. i'm glad she apologized. she was trying to get at the other group of people left behind by the economy. that's who she was talking to. many of those folks and other republicans who have walked away from donald trump aren't comfortable with that racially charged rhetoric or the alt-right or the white nationalists or white supreiss e supremacists and that does represent part of rally that he's

kelly ann conway has made some references in some interviews to maybe there being more to one of these stories. there's a case where somebody sued trump's golf club after being offered a million dollar hole in one prize. the hole in one's foundation, that money was paid by the trump foundation and not trump's golf course. kelly ann con way said that was a clerical error on their parts. >> i just want to zoom out here and be clear. you've tried to locate personal donations from the pocket bank account of donald trump. you've only found one $10,000 check, if i'm not mistaken. he's given some money to his foundation but stopped in 2008 and said we have a big pot of moirch. he has in clear instances used the pot of money in ways that benefit him. that's the story. >> there's. >> all right. david farenthal, thanks for being with me. >> thank you. >> still ahead, even after staging a big roll out of childcare, it's difficult to pin down trump's position. what we know. first, tonight's thing one, thing two after this break. to the people you love, does psoriasis ever get in the way of a touch

kelly ann conway said he might be softening, trump said the same and 11 days later he's giving a fiery speech in phoenix his supporters loved. i was there in the crowd and they were excited he did not soften on immigration but his quitting. >> symone, it feels like too little too late to a lot of people around donald trump. >> i definitely i think it's too little too late and donald trump went to that church yesterday and he was also actually in philadelphia on friday meeting with some african american leaders and what not. that was a closed press thing. i think it's good to go and do this out reach but again, this is, what, 60 days from election day and you can't start out reach to before. we haven't heard policies concerning african american communities and latino communities outside this hard line immigration stance from donald trump. i think folks are really looking for some remedies to this rhetoric he's been putting out there and the rhetoric is dee vie decisive and demeaning. it's more moderate republicans that don't want to vote for someone they believe people are >> with all t

kelly ann conway was on cnn this morning and said this. >> he believes president obama was born here.rn in camden, by the way, new jersey. he was born in hawaii. the point is, what kind of president has he been? he was born in the united states. no question to me he was born in the united states. he has not been a particularly successful president. >> he said that donald trump agrees the president was born in the united states. he didn't talk about it. >> frankly, i wouldn't want to talk about it either. there are so many other bigger issues. >> should he come out and say, yes, the president was born in hawaii? i apologize to the president for raising all those questions. >> you know that's a distraction from the larger issues we face as a country. >> there are obviously a lot more important issues. >> this is a sensitive issue. >> it started with hillary clinton. >> not with hillary clinton but some of her aides. >> and her supporters that still support her today. >> you know who kept it going and going? >> you are right. >> where do you stand? if he said to you, congressman, what sh

. >> he brought in kelly anne conway, and do you think they are tempted to be like, i give up?l give up. you only have 50 days left and it's unlikely people will leave the campaign at this point on their own volition, and i think every time donald trump is picking up his phone and tweet something, people in the campaign are gasping in horror wondering what the heck is going to come out. >> how do you explain trump see polling, the best week he has had yet? >> i think it's a couple things. one is that hillary clinton has had probably the worst week of her campaign. you know, starting off earlier in the week with the whole controversy over the basket of deplorables, whether you agreed or disagreed with it, it was a controversy you didn't want to have. and the taped footage of her appearing to collapse as she is getting in a van, and never good footage for any candidate to see, and that's part of it. and another piece of it you see and you are starting to see in some of the polling is that republicans are starting to come home, and that you have trump had been getting 78% of the r

this is really kelly anne conway making him do this. media, that was such a circus on friday and he said he would have a big announcement. the headline in the post was greatest trick that donald trump ever performed. how does that resonate with the voters? how does the media -- what lessons have we learned from this and what happens next? >> the trump campaign, they're trying to offload as much baggage before november as possible. through an accident that it ended up being this event on friday. their attitude, we have these vets here, they'll say these wonderful things about donald trump. let's use this for all its worth. make the statement at the end and every's going to broadcast these veterans for 30 minutes. what they're hoping as we saw in your interview with mike pence, was obsessed with this issue for so long. they're hoping now they can revert to his magic words on friday, saying, look, he no longer believes it. >> but this media question is very real. you saw in your interview with vice presidential pence, he kept going back to

>> to that sounds more like what kelli ann conway said today, what mike pence said in the meet the press interview. let's take a moment and listen to some of that. >> he's been completely consistent on this point. >> no, he has not. he had deportation at the center of the national debate. >> but he's not been consistent on what to do with the 11 or 15 million? >> there are people in different circumstances in that category. >> but if they aren't criminals, do they have to go? >> he has said that you should stand in line and joachimmigrat legally. >> what the clinton campaign says, guys, in a statement after this, look, this is a trump campaign using one of the oldest tricks in the book. they describe using harsh words to describe harsh tactics. is the trump campaign trying to confuse the voter enough so they don't really know where he stands? >> that might well be the practical effect of it. i can't quite believe it would be an operational strategy because i'm not at all confused about it. the man, whether or not the campaign is talking about a logical or an illogical way to implement an

at the same time, i think there's been way too much patience for listening to kelly anne conway. fill la -- filibustering one show or another. tv's public affairs shows can say this side has been represented, it doesn't matter if what they have said is complete nonsense or just bad television. i think there's been a movement especially on -- with certain interviews to actually become more aggressive, which i think is absolutely appropriate in this case. >> jacob, i think some critics would say we're too tough on trump surrogates and not tough enough on clinton surrogates. do you think that's a true statement? >> i think there will be a calling to account after this election about the role of cable news in particular. >> why is that? >> early on, there's a real case to be made that trump was overcovered. now he's a presidential nominee, may be president. but when he was low in the polls, he's been so good for the tv news business financially and i don't think reporters consciously exaggerate his pompbs because of that, but it has an impact. i think in the early days, he got too mu

notice from donald trump they are reading from the teleprompter, ever since he brought in kelly ann conway, his tone has changed a bit, and the pole numbers are getting better. so this will go down to the wire looks like until november 8th. >> boards chairman at ursinus college under siege from some of his tweets. role he meet with some who he offended. >> marcon apologized some are saying were sexist, tweets. referenced president owe bamm, a caitlin jenner, women who wear those yoga pants. some students are calling for his resignation, but ursinus president says this is a learning experience, i mean, it is a college. marcon will meet with oven dollars students sometime today. >>> decision is made, officers from local police force will stay on the force. >> last night people who live in the borough of penndel bucks county would not go down without a fight against the town council. jennifer joyce has the wrap up from what happened at the meeting. hi, jenny. >> obviously little issue with her microphone, we'll try to get back to jen nip just a minute. the bottom line here it was standing roo

my guess is it's a combination of the new team and that we be kelly anne conway and steve ban nan andshowed in the polls you'll lose and lose big. we know trump doesn't like that. now, that's the positive side for trump. the neglectsive side for clinton is it a been just been a steady drum beat on the i'm eels, 15,000 new ones from the fbi, the cozy relationshipthe clintoe clinton state department and then of course, the health incident. less the health than the fail our of transparency. the fact she didn't come clean for a few days. >> would you given your hit in this business, would you guess that today would have any impact on polls i'm sure are being commissioned now? >> you're talking about the birther incident? >> yes. >> yeah. i don't know. the answer is i don't know. will say this, and this is different for trump than a lot of the others have been. no question this was a mistake on his part to leave this open. its damaging. youening tell by how quickly the campaign rolled it back. what is different is that so often in the past when trump would get into one these things like th

kelly ann conway has made some references in some interviews to maybe there being more to one of theseries. there's a case where somebody sued trump's golf club after being offered a million dollar hole in one prize. the hole in one's foundation, that money was paid by the trump foundation and not trump's golf course. kelly ann con way said that was a clerical error on their parts. >> i just want to zoom out here and be clear. you've tried to locate personal donations from the pocket bank account of donald trump. you've only found one $10,000 check, if i'm not mistaken. he's given some money to his foundation but stopped in 2008 and said we have a big pot of moirch. he has in clear instances used the pot of money in ways that benefit him. that's the story. >> there's. >> all right. david farenthal, thanks for being with me. >> thank you. >> still ahead, even after staging a big roll out of childcare, it's difficult to pin down trump's position. what we know. first, tonight's thing one, thing two after this break. it was, it was always controlling your time, your actions, your money. it

kelly ann conway, the campaign manager, she is traveling with the candidate on in stretch of these stops here in ohio. she mentioned to reporters gathered outside that restaurant that they are looking for voters who don't typically vote every four years. this goes to the heart of the hopes of this campaign that, yes, these polls show they are behind. m those that aren't showing up every four years are donald trump voters. when they come out in force, they will make the difference come november. >> joe, hillary clinton has a labor day event. the big event, the unveiling of her new campaign plane as of right now. does this spark a significant change for all practical purposes, expect more travel, campaign stops and more openness from hillary clinton as far as the press is concerned, because now she is allowing the president aboard her plane. >> it is certainly a big moment for the journalists that have been covering hillary clinton's campaign. look, at the end of the day, i think it will be a footnote that says we are now entering the homestretch of this campaign. at least it is in the hor

you heard kelly anne conway talk about it in the last hour or so in that interview that trump today on oz is expected to have a general discussion about health and well being, family, that kind of thing. a more broad discussion. and not a dive into some of that medical information. we are being told or we understand that trump is planning to release those medical records. this week at some point. but there's a question mark obviously until that happens, so the health issue is an interesting one because until this point, all we have is this four paragraph letter from trump's doctor who's also a gastroebt roll gist saying if elected trump will be the healthiest president ever, raising questions about other medical information about trump who, we have to note if elected, would be one of the oldest presidents. but we don't know his family history. what medications he's on. things like his cholesterol levels. the type of information we have had for presidential nominees for major parties in the past. bottom line, i hate to say it, it question marks about when this will be released. and what
