i actually love and appreciate matt lewis' commentary most nights.tonight. donald trump committed political malpractice today. he was so far out of his depth, he kept talking about the light house behind him, and people were coming to florida, then it was in scotland. he bumbled through the press conference. you have to go back to his own quote to "the new york times" in june, he didn't know anything about brexit. wednesday said he wasn't following it enough, his opinion shouldn't matter. now he is championing some victory where the stock market crashed by 600 points, people's foirks are being pummeled. this is the second straight global test donald trump has failed. first was orlando, next one was tonight. >> and kayleigh mcenany is pulling a bob beckel, you can tell how she feels. you think it is going to help trump rather than hurt him. >> absolutely. this is a huge victory that cannot be overstated. did some polling before the voting, 60 to 70% felt failed by both parties. both parties failed them. remarkably similar to what we are seeing in unit

matt lewis is back as well, and then cnn political contributor van jones with us as well.championship, so there we go. >> no! >> i know. all right, van. i know. >> go dubs. dub nation. >> i want to get your reaction to trump taking on the media today. is this his way of trying to create a distraction you think, away from the lawsuits, trump university? what do you think is going on here? >> look, i thought it was really, really disturbing today. look, the reality is donald trump set out to do something good. he was trying to distract from the fact that he didn't want to debate. he could have just stayed home. instead, he went out. he did go raise a bunch of money. the reality, though, is the process by which he gathered the funds, distributed the funds, was a mess. reporters trying to figure out what the heck is going on. and rather than him saying, guess what, it takes a little bit of time sometimes to get your pledges in, i'm new at this, i'm trying, he goes ballistic and starts calling names and acting like a child. this is not -- he was doing something good, but he ste

matt lewis is here, senior contributor to the daily caller. and a big deal as well. more subdued donald trump. let's take a listen. >> i understand the responsibility of carrying the mantel and i will never, ever let you down. too much work, too many people, blood, sweat and tears. never going to let you go. i will make you proud of your party and our movement. >> so i would venture a guess, matt, that this is what people in washington wanted to see. >> yes. >> is that enough to quail the criticism? >> no. look, we're at a -- i think it's a critical moment of the campaign for donald trump. i think he had a bad week, a terrible week. and i think the party and the party leaders want to see him back on message, focused on what he's running for president, what his message is and take on hillary clinton and remind people, hillary clinton has been involved in a series of scandals and she's being investigated by the fbi as we speak. that is the donald trump that republicans want to see. >> so it is -- they may be reassured by last night but his supporters, i don't think the

matt lewis is a senior contributor to the daily caller. and also bob beckel, who is also a contributor here on cnn. it's going to be a long night for democrats, right? matt, you first. you say that you were struck at how, in the aftermath of orlando, that donald trump pivoted to the gun issue. i want to show a new cbs poll. it's out tonight. a majority of americans, 51%, disapprove of trump's response. they're split on how hillary clinton handled it. so do you think trump is focusing on the wrong thing? what do you think of this poll and his reaction? >> well, i think that what made this different is that if it's about radical islamist terrorism, that always helps trump. this has been also about the gay issue. it's also been about guns. and here you have donald trump, you know, another example of how he's really not moored to conservative philosophy, and i think not winning himself any friends with conservatives and republicans. you know, this watch list sounds like a very reasonable, common sense thing. but in fact, it's the federal govern

matt lewis, great interview. good to see you. >>> trump tells republicans to get over it.s and they shouldn't be so angry. so can republicans do just that? and get behind their candidate? we'll discuss. t-mobile is giving you a piece of the company just for being a customer. you'll own the place! and that's not all... download the t-mobile tuesday's app and get thanked with free stuff... every week. get t-mobile tuesday's and get thanked. 80% but up to 90% fall short in getting key nutrients from food alone. let's do more. add one a day women's 50+ complete multivitamin. with vitamin d and calcium to help support bone health. one a day. this just got interesting. why pause to take a pill? or stop to find a bathroom? cialis for daily use is approved to treat both erectile dysfunction and the urinary symptoms of bph, like needing to go frequently, day or night. tell your doctor about all your medical conditions and medicines, and ask if your heart is healthy enough for sex do not take cialis if you take nitrates for chest pain, or adempas for pulmonary hypertension, as it ma

mo came back as well, former dnc director of communications, matt lewis is back as well, the author of," that's as long as the book, matt and then cnn political contributor van jones with us as well. van says cleveland is going to win the championship so there we go. >> no, no! >> i really want to get your reaction to trump taking on the media today. is this his way of trying to create a distraction away from the lawsuits, trump university, what do you think is going on here? >> i thought it was really, really disturbing today. looks the reality is donald trump set out to do something good. he was trying to distract from the fact he didn't want to go to the debate. he could have just stayed home. he did go out and raise a bunch of money. the reality, though, is the process by which he gathered and distributed the funds was a mess and reporters are trying to figure out what's going on, instead of saying it takes time to get this together, he goes ballistic and starts calling name and asks like a child. he was doing something good and he stepped on it again. >> matt, what was the big smi

political commentators angela rye, former executive director of the congressional black caucus and matt lewisaily caller. thank you for joining me this evening. as you can see, nick kristof and i had a very candid conversation. i want to continue with this candor. no talking points, please. let's just speak from the heart. i think it's an important conversation that america is having. we need to continue to have it. jeffrey, i'm going to start with you. i know that you do not believe that trump's comments about judge curiel were racist despite so many people within his own party disagreeing with you. if they weren't racist, then what were they? >> yeah. i think he backed into an excellent discussion here. i think quite candidly, he feels that the guy is a latino activist, which i think is certainly true in looking at his record. i mean he's quite the activist in the san diego la raza lawyers association. he's a member interestingly of the national hispanic bar association, which put out a statement a year ago saying -- demanding a boycott of all of donald trump's businesses. i just think he's

i want to bring in political comment aiders kayleigh mcenany, matt lewis and bob beckel.cuse me, kayleigh first. a little while earlier, we heard the police chief say that the officers who responded had handguns, but they were outgunned by the shooter. donald trump said something different about that earlierment . >> i'm going to save your second amendment. okay? i'm going to save your second amendment. if some of those great people that were in that club that night had guns strapped to their waists or strapped to their ankle, and if the bullets were going in the other direction aimed at this guy, who was just open target practice, you would have had a situation, folks, which would have been always horrible but nothing like the carnage that we all, as a people, suffered this weekend. >> kayleigh, the good guys did have guns in this case. the police chief said that they engaged, but they were outpowered. it didn't help. >> sure. but at the moment in the club when this guy started shooting, donald trump is exactly right that if someone had a weapon to engage back, it could

discuss, we just heard cnn political commentator andy dean, mo elleithee, political commentator matt lewissenior contributor to the daily caller, and political contributor van jones. wow. so we were going to discuss a little bit more the press conference. andy, you first. what do you make of that conversation? >> that interchange we just saw? >> mm-hmm. >> a couple things. i think it's important to note that that perry o'brien who had a hat on, that was the individual on the right side, he's actually the new york city director of veterans for bernie sanders. so in fairness, i think that should be disclosed because it made it seem like he was just a veteran who was going to try to play it down the middle and talk politics. that's a bernie sanders guy. so i think that that's important. but, you know, obviously i identify with the trump surrogate, the former navy s.e.a.l. as opposed to the conscientious objector. >> i have to say he did not invoke bernie sanders once during that conversation that i can remember. >> okay. well, look -- >> but obviously -- >> that's fair, but he's a far left gu

trump is headed in the wrong direction. >> one other thing from matt lewis, one thing that's interestingty for him to start defining hillary clinton, who is very vulnerable, you have the e-mails and leaving all the room for her to define him. >>> talk about a missed opportunity. donald trump surprisingly closed out the republican nomination long before hillary clinton did. she still hasn't really completely finished off bernie but she is the presumptive democratic nominee. donald trump had this big head start where he really could have started to consolidate support and define hillary clinton. i think the opposite has happened. i think he has swquandored thes weeks. >> he is leaving money on the table. syria, if he made or found more ways to make connection between hillary clinton's state department and syria, instead, he is recycling these old argument zs that leads us to richard armitage, who was the deputy secretary of state under george bush, who has come out, and said, i can't in my own good conscious vote for donald trump. he says he is going to go as far as voting for hillary clin

so joining us now to discuss it all, mark preston, and cnn political commentator matt lewis. great to have you all with us. let me start with you. is hillary clinton's attacks on -- or just highlighting some of the trump university stories, can she point out that if sort of regular vulnerable people were fleeced, is that a different thing than what we've heard in her attacks in the past? >> absolutely. it's one thing if donald trump is going at it with creditors over a bankrupt casino. that's something beyond most people's experience. you start bringing in real people, real people who say they've been cheated it starts to matter more. when you have something like the state attorney general suing him, this is now -- hillary clinton is not the first and only person making these accusations. she's coming in after the class action lawsuit, after the republican nominee from 2012 all sort of pointing to this, it has a little bit more impact and for the hundred odd million people who have not voted so far, who are coming to this maybe a little bit fresh and amazingly enough may not

and joining me is matt lewis, a senior contributing for "the daily caller." welcome to all of you. thank you for being here. take a look at the quinnipiac poll that came out. it is really interesting and contradictory. clinton has a four-point lead over trump according to the quinnipiac poll, but when you dig into the issues and they ask voters 42 questions, there's seems to be a lot of contradictions like this one, this is an example. voters say donald trump would be most effective against isis but say hillary clinton would do a better job of responding to an international crisis. matt, why the disconnect here? >> there are some nuance differences. if there's diplomacy needed and someone with experience in foreign policy needed, that's a different question than taking on isis. and so i think that explains it, but you're right, this gets confusing. and frankly some of it now depends on what happens in the universe. if georgia -- i'm sorry, if russia invades georgia as they did in 2008, then right before the election, that sort of provocation might help hillary. if there's a terrori

matt keller has more. >> reporter: what a crazy scene on lafayette and lewis streets in santa clara. police say a bmw suv went through a red light just after 10:30 last night, hit another car, sheared off a traffic signal pole, and crashed into this home. >> it was like a bomb went off right outside. all we knew is our window was flying at us. >> patrick paul was in the living room with his wife, son and friend. >> when we went back in, we saw that the couch had moved away from the wall because where the pole came in was like exactly where i was sitting. so we came back in and like that was me where this light pole came into the building. >> reporter: matt and patrick both went to the hospital with minor injuries to get patched up after they were cut by blass. matt's wife and his son are okay. the man police say was behind the wheel of the bmw, 21-year-old santa clara resident francisco cortez cruz was caught by officers walking away from the scene. he was arrested on suspicion of felony dui and felony hit-and-run. a passenger in cortez-cruz's car was also arrested on a drunk in publ

representative john lewis, he did say as soon as they come back, they're going to be doing this again. live in the digital operations center, matt delucia, nbc 10 news. >> matt, thanks. >>> it's 4:35 and 72 degrees outside. we have breaking news in philadelphia's feltonville section. a security guard is in stable condition after police say he got into a shootout with a gunman. according to authorities, the guard was leaving a bar on north front street and wyoming avenue when he saw the gunman shooting. he fired at the shooter. so far, there are no arrests. we'll have an update coming up at 5:00. you can get the latest on the nbc 10 app. >>> new from overnight, one person hurt and taken to the hospital after this car crashed and overturned in philadelphia. the impact uprooted a tree at dickinson and south carlisle streets in point breeze. the crash woke up the homeowner who told us the tree has been there since he planted it eight years ago. >>> happening today, a group of people from philadelphia are heading to harrisburg, fighting to raise the minimum wage. the bus leaves in a few hours. the group called the raise the wage p.a.

lewis. that suv then hit the signal pole, hit the metal fence around the yard around the house then smashed through the house itself. 5-year-old matt was sitting on a couch with his parents' best man when mom and dad saw headlights through the window behind them and glass flying everywhere. >> it happened really quickly. the easiest way to explain it was like a bomb went off right outside. all we knew was our window was flying at us. it's a miracle we only came out with minor injuries. it's eye-opening. we don't let our kids play in the front yard because we know this is a busy corner. >>> patrick paul says after the suv crashed into the living room they moved away in the nick of time because the signal pole fell into the house as well. the family and the best man went to the hospital to have glad removed, but they are otherwise okay physically. emotionally is a different story. dad is really upset. as he came out, he saw two young people stumbling around. he believes the driver of that suv was drunk. the owner of the suv showed up and said it was her son. at least one person was arrested. kris sanchez, today in the bay. >> scary.

lewis will beç long the pa pallbearers. president barack obama will be at his daughter malia's graduation. live in the digital operations center, matta, nbc 10 news. >>> nbc 10 will have live network coverage of muhammad ali's funeral this afternoon. the service is scheduled for 2:30. >>> happening now, walkers and runners on a popular philadelphia trail is worried for their safety after a woman was attacked. >> it happened on the schuylkill river trail yesterday afternoon. witnesses told police the man, the attacker, followed a 24-year-old woman on the trail, then up the steps to walnut street. according to witnesses, he said to her, you don't know anything before he cut her across the forehead with a sharp object. the woman said she didn't know her attacker. police believe this was random. >> no one deserves to be in this type of situation ever. we just have to be really cautious. >> it's just terrible. it's broad daylight. everyone is out here trying to enjoy the beautiful day and exercise. >> you may remember this attack follows several incidents on the trail in the past few months, including a sex assault and indecent exposure.
