joining me chairman of the american conservative union matt schlapp and lee carter, good to have you both here. what is this woman doing? what is she doing? this was supposed to be a coronation, lee? >> supposed to be a coronation, and it is absolutely, i mean her campaign has got to be so upset that we're that close in california where she would have thought she had it by a landslide and had it nailed by now. problem is she has no narrative, no enthusiasm. lou: you know what this sounds like? sounds like 2008. i hear the same words, i hear the same narrative. i see the same candidate. >> that's right. >> the only thing i say is different from 08, as a republican looking at the democrats, she got to be a better candidate as it went along. this time i don't see an improvement. i sense a fragility to her where she's more removed and she screws up on her execution constantly. lou: she hasn't had a press conference in, what? >> 179 days. >> over 180 days. lou: it's incredible. and the national liberal media. you talked about baked in and baked for, the national media are gag worthy in the

we know the answer because lee carter knows the answer. ent in probably the most widely replayed sound bite. in case you haven't seen it, here it is. >> donald trump as commander in chief would be a historic mistake and it would undo so much of the work that republicans and democrats alike have done over many decades to make america vostronger and mor secure. it would set back our standing in the world more anything in recent him other and it would fuel an ugly narrative about who we are. >> so what was the response to that? >> i think it's fascinating to watch because it's not surprising democrats loved it, it was off the charts. >> among democrats. >> among democrats. independents and republicans were turned off completely. they gave it an "f." they said while it might be true, i'm not sure hillary will be any better and she's almost as uncertain as donald trump is. >> so when people on the fence, she's not credible. >> that's right. >> and donald trump responded of course and here's part of what he said. >> crooked hillary said, donald t

here to break it down pollster -- political pollster my present lee carter.e got 44 versus 39 donald took a hit over the last week or two. why? >> he has taken a big hit. two things contributing to that. one, trump made missteps starting with his comments about the judge in the trump university says case going on with the self congratulatory e-mail. and now the conspiracy theory he is implying about barack obama. he can come back from it. the second piece is hillary clinton is pretty much seen as clinching the nomination on the democratic side. audio when that happens you see a bump. the important thing to note is her bump isn't as big as we would expect it to be. it's thinks decline. he has had a five point drop over the last seven days. >> five point drop over seven days is not good. but donald has come back from other slumps. >> he has. when he was down in wisconsin, it was a steep drop and he was three weeks when he was sinking and everybody said this is over. he was able to come back because he came book to new york strong, and focused on the issues that

maria: the issue here immigration, lee carter, in britain certainly and she was an advocate to remainingthe killer is basically scheming at her saying, fight for britain. lee: you know, it's such a sad devastating story. maria:orric. lee: absolutely horrific. when you look at the real issue that he was supporting, it makes him look like a total nut and then what happens to the debate obviously they've suspended it. maria: right. lee: it adds to the global narrative about this division that's -- jack: you looked at poland and you see it in u.s. and england. the flood of immigrant is difficult but it does result when politicians start pushing these buttons you get people reacting like this. maria: dagen, a lot of analysts yesterday when we saw market turnaround, they are speculating that the horrific murder will boost the proremain side of things. dagen: that was -- and not to sound unfeeling about this woman's murder, but that's what the reaction in the markets that even though the -- it shifted for more people -- for more people voting towards staying in the eu. maria: still looking 50/5

let's ask lee carter from maslansky & partners.ot a mix of independent, republicans and democrats all likely registered voters. and they react to the news of the week. >> they can use their smartphones so you have hundreds and hundreds of people doing it. >> yes. >> the first sound bite that lee had them react to was hillary clinton talking about how donald trump wanted hillary and barack obama to please use the term radical islam because that's what it is. watch. >> he is fixated on the words radical islam. now, i must say i find this strange. is donald trump suggesting that there are magic words that once uttered will stop terrorists from coming after us? >> so democrats obviously responded well to this, gave her a "b." independents, c-minus and republicans an "f." she seemed measured but this is not the issue to be debating right now. it is a terrorist act. that's what he was. >> of course. >> and they want her to label it. independents agree. and this is not the conversation she should be focus on right now. >> but by the end o

and lee carter. good to have you here. let's start with an interesting ad from the nra.e us a bit of that if you would, and would i like you both to comment on it. >> a lot of people say they are not going to vote this november because their candidate didn't win. well, i know some other people who won't be voting this year either. hillary as president, no thanks. lou: lee, what do you think? >> it's an interesting take. the issue is a lot of people are saying is this about gun control or terrorism. people are saying this is about terrorism and our national security. trump wins that. it's a good emotional appeal to make you think differently about it. lou: mark gave is a marine corp veteran. your reaction to it? >> the other thing i like about this ad is it brings the argument straight to our doorstep because that's where obama and hillary clinton with brought the war and terror. you can say whatever you want about george bush and dick cheney, their mantra was kill them over there so we don't have to kill them there. we'll fight them there so we don't have to fight them h

lee carter still with us and she brought with her those dials.s is where she puts the tape up on the screen and the whole audience, different kind of political people, they watch the tape and they respond to the tape. watch the response when trump's on the screen talking about the economy. roll tape. >> we're broke. we're broke. we owe $19 trillion, going quickly to $21 trillion. our infrastructure is a disaster. our schools are failing. crime is rising. people are scared. >> now, the blue line there was democrats. expected to be at the bottom, but that was a pretty good response. >> you expect it to be at the bottom. they're willing to give him the benefit of the doubt after the tough week 'd. they listened to the speech and this is the most time democrats have reacted. you saw independents and republicans were off the chart. ashley: independents are yellow. stuart: you're right, independents and republicans are up there. >> they're tracking together. stuart: and getting close. just on the economy where he's going after hillary. >> just on the e

we will talk to lee carter. i would above the dials.gives you a sense of what people are thinking. last night donald trump using a tell pom presidenter and seeing -- teleprompter. let's play one of the pieces asking for peace. >> i know some people say i am too much of a fighter. my preference is always peace, however. i have shown that. i have shown that for a long time. i built an extraordinary bliire business on relationship and deals that have all parties involved. my goal is always to bring people together. but if i am forced to fight tfo something i really care about i will never ever back down and our country will never ever back down. >> how does this message play>> i thought for his first teleprompter aspeech it was amazing. republicans love it give him an a, independents a b and democrats were up there at a c minus. it is important he leans in his criticism. there are a lot of people who say xy and z about me but what i really am is this. >> it is a side we haven't seen. >> it worked. very interesting. he spoke last night abou

town hall.com columnist and political strategist lee carter and glad to have you all. lee, what do you make of the photo and the fact that that's actually what kicked off arguably the domino of this fbi investigation? >> it makes sense and i think it's going to become part of a larger narrative now that photo which has been -- has now sparked the whole question to begin with. i think what we are seeing this pile on narrative of anti-hillary clinton, i don't trust her and one more reason why we shouldn't and this idea that she's getting special treatment that why would she be allowed to do this when others wouldn't? i think it's really just these brushes are going to be a problem for her. deirdre: kelly you are at democratic voice. what does this mean for hillary clinton in november? by polling today it looks as if hillary clinton versus donald trump is going to be a very tight election. we only have a couple of days to get around to hillary and the fact that she became the presumptive nominee just a couple of days ago and it's interesting my colleagues assessed the pict

lee carter has written some reviews for us.leigh. >> great to be here. >> you have chosen hillary clinton calling donald trump a charlatan. let's see how that plays with republicans, democrats, and independents. >> he's been involved in more than 3500 lawsuits in the last 30 years. and a large number were filed by ordinary americans and small businesses that did work for trump. and never got paid. painters, waiters, plumbers, people who needed the money and didn't get it. not because he couldn't pay them but because he could diss them. >> so overall, can you see democrats love the attack. there they gave it an a. independents and republicans didn't respond. you can see the republicans there a d. overall, what you see she does is she uses tactics. she leads with the fact that there are 3500 lawsuits rather than going to the big issue at hand. and so just doesn't resonate as much as some of donald trump's attacks. so take a look next at donald trump's speech, you'll see the big difference. >> but they're going for that middle lin

"a" and a "b." democrats even followed along the highest i have seen democrats dial donald trump. based on his performance i was surprised at how well he did here and the voters said he did a great job. first time giving a speech off the teleprompter and he did a great job. >> yeah, he did a couple other speeches on prompter. i think one big arena. i thought it was interesting because he had the majority of the independen

lee carter is with partners, and lee, you often put -- you often have a target audience, you run videosld trump or hillary clinton and you get audiences response. what is the audience's response when you show them videos of donald trump kind of shooting from the hip, and making some what some think is outrageous comments. >> most recent has been alienating specifically independent voters who have been willing to give them the benefit of the doubt up until last two week we have seen people willing to forgive him and seen outrageous comments we're expecting things to go down but rather that's not what's been happening they go up. this timing people are saying you know what, inappropriate. he's stepping a little bit too far. and what had i've heard from folks is that have said all along look 80% of what he says i loved 20% makes no sense and worried that he's crazy but willing to give him the benefit of the doubt. people are starting to stop giving him benefit of the doubt and want to hear a or more reasonable donald trump. >> particular lay true of the independents no matter what he said

lee. the white house staff grew exponentially during this period. if there was ever a real divide, which i had not seen really sense the carter years when persian ski was fighting, the state department was really viewed as hostile territory. >> i was struck by there's number things that just illustrate your point. one was the insecurity she had in the first year particular but i would say the first couple of years about the perception that she did not have access to the president. there were a number of emails in this book where i talk about how she was worried about appearing on a panel with henry kissinger because she was worried that people point out that henry kissinger spent half of every day in the oval office even when he was secretary of state and was on the phone with the president and night. she had a standing weekly meeting and she would have met the president and many other contacts. it's not to say she did not see the president but she did not have that round-the-clock back channel access. she was aware that that may be in on flattering comparison to her. go on the political focus of the state department those e-mails are fascinating.
