>>> AS WE CONTINUE TO WAIT FOR
COMMENTS FROM DONALD TRUMP IN
MEXICO CITY, STEVE KORNACKI WILL
PICK UP OUR COVERAGE FROM HERE.
>> HI, KATE.
>> CONTINUING OUR COVERAGE, I'M
STEVE KORNACKI IN NEW YORK.
WE'RE CONTINUING THE WAIT RIGHT
NOW. A LITTLE AFTER 3:00 OUR TIME, A
LITTLE AFTER 3:00 EAST COAST
TIME.
DONALD TRUMP APPARENTLY ARRIVED
FOR THAT MEET WITH THE PRESIDENT
OF MEXICO, ENRIQUE PENA NIETO.
THEY'VE BEEN IN THAT MEETING
NOW, IT'S GOING ON CLOSE TO
ABOUT 45 MINUTES.
IT WAS EXPECTED ORIGINALLY
THEY'D HAVE EMERGED AROUND
QUARTER OF 4:00 EASTERN.
THEN YOU'D SEE FROM THOSE
PODIUMS, THEY'D DELIVER A JOINT
STATEMENT. DONALD TRUMP AND THE PRESIDENT
OF MEXICO.
THAT'S BEEN DELAYED.
DONALD TRUMP WAS A LITTLE
DELAYED GETTING INTO THE
MEETING.
APPARENTLY DELAYED COMING OUT OF
IT AS WELL. WE'RE KEEPING AN EYE ON THOSE
PODIUMS.
WE'LL SEE WHAT DONALD TRUMP HAS TO SAY WHEN HE EMERGES.
WE'LL SEE WHAT ENRIQUE PENA
NIETO, THE PRESIDENT OF MEXICO,
HAS TO SAY.
THIS WILL BE A CAREFULLY
CHOREOGRAPHED MOMENT.
A STATEMENT THAT'S BEEN HAMMERED
OUT BEHIND THE SCENES.
A PRODUCT OF A LOT OF
NEGOTIATION PROBABLY.
WE'LL KEEP AN EYE ON THOSE
PODIUMS. WE'LL TAKE YOU TO IT.
IN THE MEANTIME, WE'LL GO TO
NBC'S JACOB RASCON ON THE
STREETS IN MEXICO CITY HEADING
TOWARDS SOME PROTESTERS ARE
GATHERED. THAT'S A HUGE PART OF THIS
STORY.
OBVIOUSLY, DONALD TRUMP HAS MADE
COMMENTS ABOUT MEXICO, ABOUT
MEXICANS, ABOUT IMMIGRATION
POLICY, ABOUT THE RELATIONSHIP
BETWEEN THESE TWO COUNTRIES THAT
HAVE STIRRED A LOT OF PUBLIC
SENTIMENT AGAINST HIM IN MEXICO.
WHAT IS THE SCENE ON THE STREET
RIGHT NOW IN MEXICO CITY?
>> --
>> ALL RIGHT.
SOUNDS LIKE WE ARE HAVING
TROUBLE GETTING SOME -- WE DON'T
HAVE JACOB RASCON THERE.
WE'LL TURN TO CHRIS WILSON, THE
DEPUTY DIRECTOR OF THE WILSON
CENTER IN WASHINGTON.
AN EXPERT ON MEXICAN POLITICS
AND U.S./MEXICAN POLITICS.
WE ALL KNOW DONALD TRUMP OBVIOUSLY, HIS POLITICAL
CHALLENGES IN THIS COUNTRY.
WE KNOW HE'S CERTAINLY NOT THAT
POPULAR IN MEXICO, BUT THE
WILLINGNESS OF THE MEXICAN
PRESIDENT TO MEET HIM, TO HAVE
THIS VERY PUBLIC MEETING IN HIS
CAPITAL CITY WITH HIM, THIS IS A
PRESIDENT, OBVIOUSLY, WHO HAS
POLITICAL CONSIDERATIONS OF HIS
OWN.
WHAT IS BEHIND THE WILLINGNESS
OF THE PRESIDENT OF MEXICO TO
MEET WITH DONALD TRUMP?
>> IT'S ACTUALLY A BIT OF A
MYSTERY. THANKS FOR HAVING ME ON.
THIS IS ONE OF THE QUESTIONS
WE'RE ALL ASKING OURSELVES.
WHAT'S THE UP SIDE POTENTIAL
HERE FOR PRESIDENT PENA NIETO.
HE'S REPRESENTING A POPULATION
THAT VERY MUCH FEELS INSULTED BY
THE RHETORIC OF DONALD TRUMP,
AND HE'S TRYING TO PRESENT A
TOUGH IMAGE OF MEXICO.
BUT AT THE SAME TIME, HE HAS TO
BE WELCOMING BECAUSE HE INVITED
DONALD TRUMP TO MEXICO FOR THIS
MEETING.
HE'S GOT TO DO THIS STRANGE,
DELICATE BALANCING ACT OF BEING
WELCOMING. HE HAD ALSO STANDING TOUGH AND
BEING A DEFENDER OF MEXICANS.
I'M NOT SURE IT'S ACTUALLY
POSSIBLE TO DO BOTH OF THOSE AT
THE SAME TIME.
AS WE'RE SEEING WITH PROTESTS ON
THE STREET, MEXICANS IN GENERAL,
THE CLIMATE RIGHT NOW IS THAT
THE PRESIDENT MAY HAVE MADE THE
WRONG DECISION IN ACCEPTING THIS
MEETING. I DON'T WANT TO JUMP TO ANY BUT
HE'S DUE TO FACE PRESSURE
DOMESTICALLY AFTER THIS MEETING
FOR HAVING SET IT UP IN THE
FIRST PLACE.
>> SET THE STAGE.
WE'RE WAITING FOR DONALD TRUMP
AND PENA NIETO TO EMERGE.
PROBABLY A LOT OF AMERICANS'
INTRODUCTION, FIRST TIME THEY'RE
MEETING THE PRESIDENT OF MEXICO
IN A SETTING LIKE THIS.
TELL US ABOUT THE POLITICAL
ENVIRONMENT IN MEXICO BEFORE
TODAY.
HIS STANDING.
I KNOW THE POLLS HAVE NOT BEEN
GOOD IN MEXICO.
AN APPROVAL RATING IN THE LOW
20s FOR HIM.
WHAT ARE HIS CHALLENGES?
WHY IS HE UNPOPULAR RIGHT NOW?
WHO IS THIS GUY AMERICANS ARE
ABOUT TO MEET?
>> PRESIDENT ENRIQUE PENA NIETO
CAME INTO OFFICE AFTER ELECTIONS
IN 2012 AND BEGAN HIS PRESIDENCY
WITH A BANG.
PASSED A NUMBER OF MAJOR
ECONOMIC REFORMS THAT REALLY MAYBE IN THE LONG TERM HAVE THE
POTENTIAL TO TRANSFORM THE
COUNTRY IN POSITIVE WAYS. FOLLOWING THAT, A SERIES OF
SCANDALS, AROUND CORRUPTION
ISSUES, SOME INVOLVING CONTRACTS
THAT MAY HAVE BEEN SWEETHEART
DEALS WITH CONTRACTOR BUILDING
PUBLIC WORKS IN MEXICO, HAVING
PROVIDED FINANCING OR HELPING
GIVE HOUSES TO THE PRESIDENT'S
WIFE AND HIS INNER CIRCLE.
HUMAN RIGHTS ISSUES THAT HAVE
COME UP REGARDING THE
DISAPPEARANCE OF 43 STUDENTS IN
MEXICO.
THERE HAVE BEEN ISSUES MOST
RECENTLY ABOUT THE FACT HE MAY
HAVE -- IT'S STILL NOT TOTALLY
CLEAR -- BUT HE MAY HAVE
PLAGIARIZED PARTS OF HIS THESIS
AS A STUDENT TO BE A LAWYER IN
MEXICO. SO HE'S FACING THESE SWIRLING
ACCUSATIONS. AND AN ECONOMY NOT PERFORMING AT
THE RATE MEXICANS NEED IT TO
GROW TO PULL PEOPLE OUT OF
POVERTY AND GROW THE MIDDLE
CLASS. IN THAT CONTEXT, SOME OF THE
LOWEST APPROVAL RATINGS A
PRESIDENT OF MEXICO HAS HAD FOR
TWO DECADE.
THAT'S THE CHALLENGE.
WHETHER OR NOT DONALD TRUMP CAN
CHANGE ANY OF THAT FOR HIM IS TO
BE SEEN, I SUPPOSE.
BUT AT THE VERY LEAST, THIS
COULD BE A BIT OF A DISTRACTION
FROM SOME OF THE DOMESTIC
CHALLENGES THE PRESIDENT IS
FACING. IT COULD ALSO BE SOMETHING THAT
JUST ADDS TO THEM.
ADDS TO THE LEVEL OF CRITICISM.
AS DOES THIS NEGATIVE FEELING
THAT'S GOING ON.
AND SO HE'S TRYING TO FIND A WAY
TO PULL SOMETHING OUT OF THIS.
AT LEAST ONE OF THE THINGS WE
HAVE TO THINK ABOUT IS THAT THE
MEXICAN GOVERNMENT PROBABLY DID
NOT EXPECT THE INVITATION TO
DONALD TRUMP TO BE ACTED UPON.
THEY PROBABLY DIDN'T EXPECT HIM
TO SAY YES AND COME TO MEXICO.
SO THE INVITATION WAS ONE OF
SAYING WE'D LIKE TO HAVE
POSITIVE RELATIONS WITH MEXICO.
WE'D LIKE TO BE OFF ON THE RIGHT
FOOT WITH WHOEVER BECOMES THE
NEXT PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED
STATES.
AND SO AN INVITATION TO VISIT,
IT WOULD BE A NICE GESTURE IN
THAT SENSE.
BUT WHEN DONALD TRUMP ACTUALLY
ACCEPTS THE INVITATION, ALL OF A
SUDDEN, YOU ARE CREATING A PHOTO
OP OF THE PERSON SEEN AS CALLING
MEXICANS RAPISTS AND MURDERERS,
BEING WELCOMED INTO THE COUNTRY.
SO THAT'S THE CHALLENGE HERE IS
THAT NO MATTER WHAT, THEY SAY,
THE PICTURE WILL BE ONE OF A
HANDSHAKE AND THE PRESIDENT OF
MEXICO WELCOMING DONALD TRUMP TO
MEXICO.
>> CHRIS WILSON, STAND BY.
KEEPING AN EYE THERE ON THE
LEFT-HAND SIDE OF YOUR SCREEN.
WE'RE WAITING FOR THAT PRESS
CONFERENCE. ACTUALLY IT WILL NOT BE A PRESS
CONFERENCE. OUR UNDERSTANDING IS THAT DONALD
TRUMP AND ENRIQUE PENA NIETO
WILL COME OUT AND DELIVER A
JOINT STATEMENT.
SOME REPORTING FROM BLOOMBERG
THIS MEETING TRUMP IS HAVING
WITH THE PRESIDENT OF MEXICO IS
ABOUT FIVE DAYS OF PLANNING IN
THE WORKS ABOUT WHAT EXACTLY
WOULD BE DISCUSSED, WHAT THE
AGENDA FOR THE MEETING WOULD BE.
ANY STATEMENT THE TWO WOULD COME
OUT AND DELIVER TOGETHER WOULD
BE THE PRODUCT OF LOTS OF
NEGOTIATION. ALL RIGHT.
SOUNDS LIKE SOMETHING IS
HAPPENING IN THE ROOM.
LET'S -- LET'S TAKE A LOOK.
WE HAVE KELLY O'DONNELL.
HERE WE GO.
WE'RE GOING TO GO RIGHT INTO THE
ROOM AND SEE WHAT THEY HAVE TO
SAY.
[ SPEAKING SPANISH ]
>> Translator: GOOD AFTERNOON,
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN.
WE SHALL NOW HEAR FROM THE
PRESIDENT OF MEXICO.
>> Translator: GOOD EVENING TO
YOU ALL.
ON THE NEXT COMING 8th OF
NOVEMBER, THE PEOPLE OF THE
UNITED STATES WILL ELECT A NEW
PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES
OF AMERICA.
I AM ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN THAT THE
ELECTORAL PROCESS WILL BE ONE
WITH INTENSE DEBATE AND MANY
IDEAS AND A FULL CITIZEN
PARTICIPATION WHICH ARE ALL THE
CHARACTERISTICS OF THE GREAT
DEMOCRATIC TRADITION OF THE
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
BOTH HILLARY CLINTON AND MR.
DONALD TRUMP HAVE PUBLICLY
EXPRESSED THEIR RESPECT TOWARDS
ME.
AS THE PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA
HAS SAID, THE NEXT PRESIDENT OF
THE UNITED STATES WILL FIND IN
MEXICO AND IN ITS GOVERNMENT A
NEIGHBOR THAT WISHES TO WORK IN
A CONSTRUCTIVE WAY IN ORDER TO
STRENGTHEN AND INCREASE THE
RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN OUR
NATIONS, BONDS OF OUR COUNTRIES
AND TO FACE OUR COMMON
CHALLENGES.
IF WE DECIDE TO LOOK AT OUR
OPPORTUNITIES TOGETHER AS
FRIENDS, AS GOOD NEIGHBORS AND
AS STRATEGIC ALLIES BASED ON A
RELATIONSHIP WHICH IS FOUNDED ON
MUTUAL RESPECT, ALTHOUGH WE DO
NOT AGREE ON EVERYTHING, WE
TRUST THAT TOGETHER WE'LL BE
ABLE TO FIND GREATER PROSPERITY
WITHOUT LOSING SIGHT OF THE FACT
THAT LIBERTY AND INDEPENDENCE
ARE THE GROUNDS FOR EVERYTHING WE DO.
ANY CLOSE RELATIONSHIP HAS TO BE
REVISED AND RENEWED ONCE IN A
WHILE. WE ARE ALWAYS OPEN TO
DISCUSSIONS TO LOOK AT WHAT
WORKS AND DOESN'T WORK.
HOW TO IMPROVE THINGS ON BOTH
SIDES OF THE BORDER.
HOW CAN WE CLARIFY AND OVERCOME
MISUNDERSTANDINGS AND UNDERSTAND
EACH OTHER BETTER. IN THIS SPIRIT, IN THE LAST FEW
DAYS, I SENT A LETTER TO BOTH
PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES TO MRS.
HILLARY CLINTON AND TO MR.
DONALD TRUMP PROPOSING THAT WE
SHOULD MEET WITH EACH OTHER AND
TO HAVE A CONSTRUCTIVE
CONVERSATION ABOUT OUR SHARED
DESTINIES.
I HAVE MET TODAY WITH MR. DONALD
TRUMP, AND I HOPE THAT I WILL
SOON BE MEETING WITH MRS.
HILLARY CLINTON, WITH WHOM I
HAVE HAD THE PLEASURE OF
SPEAKING IN THE PAST, ALSO HERE
AT THE OFFICIAL RESIDENCE.
WE'RE NOT IN AGREEMENT ON ALL
TOPICS.
MR. DONALD TRUMP, WHO IS PRESENT
HERE, SHOWS BASIC FUNDAMENTAL
THING IN COMMON.
OUR RESPECTIVE COUNTRIES ARE
IMPORTANT TO EACH OTHER.
THE UNITED STATES IS VERY
IMPORTANT FOR MEXICO.
AND, LIKEWISE, MEXICO IS VERY
IMPORTANT FOR THE UNITED STATES.
WE SHARE -- WE SHARE ONE OF THE
MOST HEAVILY TRANSITED BORDERS
IN THE WORLD.
EVERY DAY, THERE ARE OVER 1
MILLION PEOPLE WHO LEGALLY CROSS
THE BORDER AND 400,000 VEHICLES.
TRADE BETWEEN THE COUNTRIES IS
OVER $500 MILLION PER YEAR, AND
WE PRODUCE THINGS JOINTLY AND IN
TERMS OF SECURITY, THERE IS
DAILY COOPERATION BETWEEN OUR
GOVERNMENTS WHICH IS GROWING
YEAR BY YEAR IN ORDER TO MEET
THE CHALLENGES OF A VERY COMPLEX
WORLD.
I HAD A CONVERSATION WITH MR.
TRUMP THAT WAS OPEN AND
CONSTRUCTIVE. THE PURPOSE OF OUR MEETING WAS
TO GET TO KNOW EACH OTHER AND TO
EXCHANGE OUR OPINIONS AND OUR
VIEWS ON OUR BILATERAL
RELATIONS. ON THE BILATERAL RELATIONS AND
IN ISSUES OF TRADE, I SHARE WITH
TRUMP THE NOTION THAT THE FREE
TRADE AGREEMENT NORTH AMERICA
HAS BEEN VERY GOOD BOTH FOR THE
UNITED STATES AND FOR MEXICO.
EXPORTS BY THE UNITED STATES TO
MEXICO REPRESENT AROUND $200
MILLION PER YEAR.
AND THE AGREEMENT OF THE CHAMBER
OF COMMERCE, ACCORDING TO THE
NA
CHAMBER OF COMMERCE, ABOUT 6
MILLION JOBS IN THE UNITED
STATES DEPEND ON THESE EXPORTS
TO MEXICO.
OUR COUNTRY BUYS MORE FROM THE
UNITED STATES THAN GERMANY,
SPAIN, FRANCE AND ITALY, JAPAN
AND THE UNITED KINGDOM
ALTOGETHER.
THERE ARE MANY MANUFACTURING
JOBS IN THE UNITED STATES THAT
HAVE NOT MOVED TO OTHER REGIONS
OF THE WORLD, SPECIFICALLY
BECAUSE TOGETHER WE'VE BEEN ABLE
TO DEVELOP A COMPETITIVE
MANUFACTURING PLATFORM IN THE
NORTH AMERICAN REGION.
AND 40% OF THE MEXICAN EXPORTS
ARE MADE IN THE UNITED STATES.
AS PARTNERS, WE HAVE TO WORK
TOGETHER IN ORDER TO AVOID THE
LOSS OF JOBS FROM OUR REGION.
HOWEVER, THIS DOES NOT MEAN THAT
THE NORTH AMERICAN FREE TRADE
AGREEMENT CAN'T BE IMPROVED TO
THE BENEFIT OF BOTH PARTIES.
IT IS AN AGREEMENT THAT WAS
SIGNED OVER 12 YEARS AGO.
THE NEXT PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED
STATES WILL FIND IN MY
GOVERNMENT A PARTNER WHO WANTS
TO BUILD THE ROAD TO
MODERNIZATION SO THAT WE BECOME
MORE EFFECTIVE IN GENERATING
QUALITY JOBS AND BETTER PAYING
JOBS IN BOTH COUNTRIES.
I DO NOT BELIEVE THAT TRADE MUST
BE ZERO-SUM, THAT ONE LOSES WHEN
ONE WINS.
QUITE ON THE CONTRARY.
IT SHOULD BE SEEN AS AN EFFORT
THAT PRODUCES VALUE ON BOTH
SIDES AND THAT MAKES OUR REGION,
NORTH AMERICA, THE MOST
COMPETITIVE AND INNOVATIVE ONE
IN THE WHOLE WORLD.
WITH REGARD TO BORDER RELATIONS,
I HAVE A VERY CLEAR VIEW ON
THAT. THE BORDER MUST BE CHANGED.
THERE HAVE BEEN MANY
DEVELOPMENTS IN THE LAST FEW
YEARS. WE HAVE WORKED CLOSELY TOGETHER
WITH THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION
AND WITH THE NEXT
ADMINISTRATION, WE MUST KEEP ON
WITH THOSE EFFORTS SO THAT THE
BORDER BETWEEN MEXICO AND THE
UNITED STATES BECOMES MORE
EFFICIENT AND SAFER.
HOWEVER, THERE IS A CONSIDERABLE
NUMBER OF AMERICAN CITIZENS WHO
SEE THE BORDER AS A REAL PROBLEM
BECAUSE UNDOCUMENTED PEOPLE AND
ILLEGAL DRUGS CROSS THE BORDER
TOWARDS THE UNITED STATES.
NONDOCUMENTED IMMIGRATION FROM
MEXICO TO THE UNITED STATES
REACHED A MAXIMUM POINT TEN
YEARS AGO AND HAS BEEN
DIMINISHING SINCE THEN.
AND IT IS NOW EVEN NEGATIVE AS A
NET RATE.
BUT EVEN SO, WE KNOW THAT IT IS
A SHARED CHALLENGE TO FACE THE
NUMBER OF NON-MEXICAN WHO CROSS
THE BORDER COMING THROUGH OUR
COUNTRY GOING TO THE UNITED
STATES AND ALSO LEADING TO
SERIOUS HUMANITARIAN ISSUES.
HOWEVER, THIS IS A VISION THAT
IS, OBVIOUSLY, INCOMPLETE AND
WHICH NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED.
WHEN ONE HAS TO TAKE INTO
ACCOUNT THE FLOW OF CASH AND OF
ILLEGAL WEAPONS COMING FROM THE
SOUTH, EVERY YEAR MILLIONS OF
DOLLARS OF ILLEGAL WEAPONS AND
CASH ENTER MEXICO ILLEGALLY FROM
THE NORTH, WHICH BENEFIT THE
CARTELS AND LEAD TO ILLEGAL
ACTIONS GENERATING VIOLENCE IN
MEXICO AND WHICH LEAD TO
BENEFITS IN THE DRUG TRADE IN
THE UNITED STATES.
AND THIS FLOW HAS TO COME TO AN
END. WHAT WE NEED IS TO HAVE AN
OVERALL FOCUS, AN OVERALL POLICY
ON THE BORDER WHICH DEALS WITH
UNDOCUMENTED IMMIGRANTS, THE
FLOW OF DRUGS, WEAPONS AND CASH,
ALL AT THE SAME TIME.
MANY LIVES COULD BE SAVED ON
BOTH SIDES OF THE BORDER IF THE
CRIMINAL ORGANIZATIONS STOP
RECEIVING THE FLOW OF CASH AND
WEAPONS THAT PERMIT THEM TO
CARRY OUT THEIR ILLEGAL
ACTIVITIES.
THE ILLEGAL FLOW OF WEAPONS,
DRUGS AND CASH GOING IN BOTH
DIRECTIONS HAVE MANY BAD
CONSEQUENCES FOR BOTH SIDES OF
THE BORDER.
OUR BORDER MUST BE SEEN AS A
MUTUAL OPPORTUNITY FOR BOTH
COUNTRIES. OUR COUNTRIES MUST INVEST MORE
IN IT.
MORE INFRASTRUCTURE, MORE PEOPLE
AND MORE TECHNOLOGY TO MAKE IT
MORE SAFE AND MORE EFFICIENT.
BUT I RECOGNIZE THE FUNDAMENTAL
RIGHT OF EACH COUNTRY TO PROTECT
ITS BORDERS. AT THE SAME TIME, THERE SHOULD
BE A TRUE SPIRIT OF
COLLABORATION BETWEEN NEIGHBORS
AND ALLIES, WHICH IS THE BEST
WAY TO GO FORWARD.
I WOULD LIKE TO EXPRESS TO MR.
TRUMP THAT TO MAKE THE BORDER
WITH MEXICO SAFER WITH OUR
FRIENDS AND NEIGHBORS FROM
CENTRAL AMERICA IS OF VITAL
IMPORTANCE TO MEXICO AND THE
UNITED STATES.
LIKEWISE, IN REGARD TO NATIONAL
SECURITY, MEXICO AND THE UNITED
STATES HAVE WORKED TOGETHER TO
DEAL WITH THE CHALLENGES COMING
FROM A COMPLEX ENVIRONMENT.
A COMPLEX WORLD.
EVERY DAY, SAFETY, SECURITY
AGENCIES ON BOTH SIDES OF THE
BORDER EXCHANGE INFORMATION AND
COORDINATE THEIR ACTIONS.
INDEPENDENTLY OF THE RESULTS,
THE ELECTIONS IN THE UNITED
STATES, THE NEXT AMERICAN
ADMINISTRATION CAN EXPECT OUR
GOODWILL AND OUR EFFORT TO MAKE
THE NORTH AMERICAN REGION SAFER.
MR. TRUMP, I WOULD LIKE TO ONCE
AGAIN REITERATE WHAT I SAID TO
YOU A FEW MOMENTS AGO IN
PRIVATE. MY PRIORITY AS PRESIDENT OF
MEXICO AND THE PRIORITY OF MY
GOVERNMENT IS TO PROTECT THE
MEXICAN
MEXICANS, WHEREVER THEY ARE.
THAT IS MY RESPONSIBILITY, AND I
WILL CONTINUE WORKING FOR THAT
PURPO
PURPOSE. EVERY DAY EXCHANGES BETWEEN THE
UNITED STATES N MEXICO
CONTRIBUTED TALENT AND
PROSPERITY ON BOTH SIDES OF THE
BORDER IN MEXICO AND THE UNITED
STATES. MEXICANS AND THE UNITED STATES
ARE HONEST PEOPLE AND HARD
WORKING.
THEY ARE WELL INTENTIONED
PEOPLE. THEY ARE GOOD PEOPLE WHO RESPECT
THE INSTITUTION OF THE FAMILY
AND COMMUNITY LIFE AND WHO
RESPECT THE LAW. AS SUCH, THE MEXICANS RESPECT --
DESERVE THE RESPECT OF EVERYONE.
I WILL CONTINUE WORKING TO
CONSOLIDATE THE RELATIONSHIP
BETWEEN THE UNITED STATES AND
MEXICO BASED ON MUTUAL RESPECT,
TRUST AND COMMON ATTENTION TO
OUR COMMON CHALLENGES.
AND I WILL CONCLUDE BY SAYING
THAT THE GOVERNMENT OF MEXICO
WILL BE ABSOLUTELY RESPECTFUL OF
THE ELECTORATE -- OF THE
ELECTIONS IN THE UNITED STATES.
WE RECOGNIZE THEIR DECISION TO
CONTINUE CONSTRUCTIVE DIALOGUE.
A DIALOGUE WHICH IS THE WAY
FORWARD. FOR THOSE WHO THINK DIFFERENTLY
TO COME TOGETHER, THE DIALOGUE
IS THE WAY FORWARD BECAUSE IT
LEADS TO BETTER UNDERSTANDING.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
>> THANK YOU.
IT IS A GREAT HONOR TO BE
INVITED BY YOU, MR. PRESIDENT.
A GREAT, GREAT HONOR.
THANK YOU.
WE HAD A VERY SUBSTANTIVE,
DIRECT AND CONSTRUCTIVE EXCHANGE
OF IDEAS.
OVER QUITE A PERIOD OF TIME.
I WAS STRAIGHTFORWARD IN
PRESENTING MY VIEWS ABOUT THE
IMPACTS OF CURRENT TRADE AND
IMMIGRATION POLICIES ON THE
UNITED STATES. AS YOU KNOW, I LOVE THE UNITED
STATES VERY MUCH, AND WE WANT TO
MAKE SURE THAT THE PEOPLE OF THE
UNITED STATES ARE VERY WELL
PROTECTED. YOU EQUALLY EXPRESSED YOUR
FEELINGS AND YOUR LOVE FOR
MEXICO. THE UNITED STATES AND MEXICO
SHARE A 2,000-MILE BORDER, A
HALF A TRILLION DOLLARS IN
ANNUAL TRADE, AND 1 MILLION
LEGAL BORDER CROSSINGS EACH AND
EVERY DAY.
WE ARE UNITED BY OUR SUPPORT FOR
DEMOCRACY, A GREAT LOVE FOR OUR
PEOPLE, AND THE CONTRIBUTIONS OF
MILLIONS OF MEXICAN AMERICANS TO
THE UNITED STATES.
AND I HAPPEN TO HAVE A
TREMENDOUS FEELING FOR MEXICAN
AMERICANS, NOT ONLY IN TERMS OF
FRIENDSHIPS BUT IN THE
TREMENDOUS NUMBERS THAT I EMPLOY
IN THE UNITED STATES.
AND THEY ARE AMAZING PEOPLE.
AMAZING PEOPLE.
I HAVE MANY FRIENDS, SO MANY
FRIENDS AND SO MANY FRIENDS
COMING TO MEXICO AND IN MEXICO.
I AM PROUD TO SAY HOW MANY
PEOPLE I EMPLOY.
AND THE UNITED STATES FIRST,
SECOND AND THIRD GENERATION
MEXICANS ARE JUST BEYOND
REPROACH. SPECTACULAR, SPECTACULAR,
HARDWORKING PEOPLE. I HAVE SUCH GREAT RESPECT FOR
THEM. AND THEIR STRONG VALUES OF
FAMILY, FAITH AND COMMUNITY.
WE ALL SHARE A COMMON INTEREST
IN KEEPING OUR HEMISPHERE SAFE,
PROSPEROUS AND FREE.
NO ONE WINS IN EITHER COUNTRY
WHEN HUMAN SMUGGLERS AND DRUG
TRAFFICKERS PREY ON INNOCENT
PEOPLE, WHEN CARTELS COMMIT ACTS
OF VIOLENCE, WHEN ILLEGAL
WEAPONS AND CASH FLOW FROM THE
UNITED STATES INTO MEXICO, OR
WHEN MIGRANTS FROM CENTRAL
AMERICA MAKE THE DANGEROUS TREK,
AND IT IS VERY, VERY DANGEROUS,
INTO MEXICO OR THE UNITED STATES
WITHOUT LEGAL AUTHORIZATION.
I SHARED MY STRONG VIEW THAT
NAFTA HAS BEEN A FAR GREATER
BENEFIT TO MEXICO THAN IT HAS
BEEN TO THE UNITED STATES AND
THAT IT MUST BE IMPROVED UPON TO
MAKE SURE THAT WORKERS IN BOTH
COUNTRIES BENEFIT FROM FAIR AND
RECIPROCAL TRADE.
I EXPRESSED THAT TO THE UNITED
STATES AND OF THE UNITED STATES,
THAT WE MUST TAKE ACTION TO STEM
THIS TREMENDOUS OUTFLOW OF JOBS
FROM OUR COUNTRY.
IT'S HAPPENING EVERY DAY.
IT'S GETTING WORSE AND WORSE AND
WORSE.
AND WE HAVE TO STOP IT.
PROSPERITY AND HAPPINESS IN BOTH
OF OUR COUNTRIES WILL INCREASE
IF WE WORK TOGETHER ON THE
FOLLOWING FIVE SHARED GOALS.
NUMBER ONE, ENDING ILLEGAL
IMMIGRATION.
NOT JUST BETWEEN OUR TWO
COUNTRIES, BUT INCLUDING THE
ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION AND
MIGRATION FROM CENTRAL AND SOUTH
AMERICANS AND FROM OTHER REGIONS
THAT IMPACT SECURITY AND
FINANCES. IN BOTH MEXICO AND THE UNITED
STATES.
THIS IS A HUMANITARIAN DISASTER.
THE DANGEROUS TREKS, THE ABUSE
BY GANGS AND CARTELS, AND THE
EXTREME PHYSICAL DANGERS, AND IT
MUST BE SOLVED.
IT MUST BE SOLVED QUICKLY.
NOT FAIR TO THE PEOPLE ANYWHERE
WORLDWIDE, YOU CAN TRULY SAY,
BUT CERTAINLY NOT FAIR TO THE
PEOPLE OF MEXICO OR THE PEOPLE
OF THE UNITED STATES.
NUMBER TWO, HAVING A SECURE
BORDER IS A SOVEREIGN RIGHT.
AND MUTUALLY BENEFICIAL.
WE RECOGNIZE AND RESPECT THE
RIGHT OF EITHER COUNTRY TO BUILD
A PHYSICAL BARRIER OR WALL ON
ANY OF ITS BORDERS TO STOP THE
ILLEGAL MOVEMENT OF PEOPLE,
DRUGS AND WEAPONS.
COOPERATION TOWARD ACHIEVING
THIS SHARED OBJECTIVE, AND IT
WILL BE SHARED, OF SAFETY FOR
ALL CITIZENS, IS PARAMOUNT TO
BOTH THE UNITED STATES AND TO
MEXICO. NUMBER THREE, DISMANTLING DRUG
CARTELS AND ENDING THE MOVEMENT
OF ILLEGAL DRUGS, WEAPONS AND
FUNDS ACROSS OUR BORDER.
THIS CAN ONLY BE DONE WITH
COOPERATION, INTELLIGENCE AND
INTELLIGENCE SHARING AND JOINT
OPERATIONS BETWEEN OUR TWO
COUNTRIES.
IT'S THE ONLY WAY IT'S GOING TO
HAPPEN. IMPROVING NAFTA, NUMBER FOUR.
NAFTA IS A 22-YEAR-OLD AGREEMENT
THAT MUST BE UPDATED TO REFLECT
THE REALITIES OF TODAY.
THERE ARE MANY IMPROVEMENTS THAT
COULD BE MADE THAT WOULD MAKE
BOTH MEXICO AND THE UNITED
STATES STRONGER AND KEEP
INDUSTRY IN OUR HEMISPHERE.
WE HAVE TREMENDOUS COMPETITION
FROM CHINA AND FROM ALL OVER THE
WORLD. KEEP IT IN OUR HEMISPHERE.
WORKERS IN BOTH OF OUR COUNTRIES
NEED A PAY RAISE, VERY
DESPERATELY. IN THE UNITED STATES IT'S BEEN
18 YEARS.
WAGES ARE GOING DOWN.
IMPROVING PAY STANDARDS AND
WORKING CONDITIONS WILL CREATE
BETTER RESULTS FOR ALL, AND ALL
WORKERS IN PARTICULAR.
THERE'S A LOT OF VALUE THAT CAN
BE CREATED FOR BOTH COUNTRIES BY
WORKING BEAUTIFULLY TOGETHER.
AND THAT I AM SURE WILL HAPPEN.
NUMBER FIVE, KEEP MANUFACTURING
WEALTH IN OUR HEMISPHERE.
WHEN JOBS LEAVE MEXICO, THE U.S.
OR CENTRAL AMERICA AND GO
OVERSEAS, IT INCREASES POVERTY
AND PRESSURE ON SOCIAL SERVICES,
AS WELL AS PRESSURES ON
CROSS-BORDER MIGRATION.
TREMENDOUS PRESSURE.
THE BOND BETWEEN OUR TWO
COUNTRIES IS DEEP AND SINCERE.
AND BOTH OUR NATIONS BENEFIT
FROM A CLOSE AND HONEST
RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN OUR TWO
GOVERNMENTS. A STRONG, PROSPEROUS AND VIBRANT
MEXICO IS IN THE BEST INTERESTS
OF THE UNITED STATES, AND WILL
KEEP AND HELP KEEP FOR A LONG,
LONG PERIOD OF TIME AMERICA
TOGETHER. BOTH OF OUR COUNTRIES WILL WORK
TOGETHER FOR MUTUAL GOOD, AND
MOST IMPORTANTLY, FOR THE MUTUAL
GOOD OF OUR PEOPLE.
MR. PRESIDENT, I WANT TO THANK
YOU.
IT'S BEEN A TREMENDOUS HONOR.
AND I CALL YOU A FRIEND.
THANK YOU.
>> [ INAUDIBLE ].
>> I THINK EXCELLENT.
I HAVE TREMENDOUS RESPECT FOR
THE PRESIDENT.
WE WERE ACTUALLY TOGETHER FOR
QUITE SOME TIME.
AND I THINK EXCELLENT.
I WAS WITH, AS YOU KNOW, SENATOR
SESSIONS.
AND WE HAD A TREMENDOUS, MORE
THAN AN HOUR, I THINK, REALLY
VERY GOOD.
YES? >> [ INAUDIBLE ]. >> NO, NOT AT ALL.
WE WANT WHAT'S GOOD FOR THE
UNITED STATES.
AND THE PRESIDENT WANTS WHAT'S
GOOD FOR MEXICO.
AND IN SITTING DOWN AND TALK, WE
BOTH REALIZE, WE REALIZED FROM
THE BEGINNING, THAT IT'S GOOD
FOR BOTH OF US. BETTER FOR BOTH OF US.
YES, JOHN?
>> [ INAUDIBLE ].
>> WE DIDN'T DISCUSS THAT.
WE DIDN'T DISCUSS WHO PAYS FOR
THE WALL.
WE DIDN'T DISCUSS THAT.
>> [ INAUDIBLE ].
YOU'VE HAD SOME VERY HARD THINGS
DIRECTED TOWARDS YOU.
IS THE WALL A NONSTARTER?
>> WELL, I'LL START.
NOTHING LIKE AN EASY QUESTION
LIKE THAT. WE DIDN'T DISCUSS THE WALL.
WE DIDN'T DISCUSS PAYMENT OF THE
WALL. THAT WILL BE FOR A LATER DATE.
THIS WAS A PRELIMINARY MEETING.
I THINK IT WAS AN EXCELLENT
MEETING.
AND WE ARE -- I THINK WE'RE VERY
WELL ON OUR WAY.
A LOT OF THE THINGS I SAID ARE
VERY STRONG, BUT WE HAVE TO BE
STRONG.
WE HAVE TO SAY WHAT'S HAPPENING.
THERE IS CRIME, AS YOU KNOW.
THERE'S A LOT OF CRIME AND A LOT
OF PROBLEMS.
BUT I THINK TOGETHER WE'LL SOLVE
THOSE PROBLEMS.
I REALLY BELIEVE THAT THE
PRESIDENT AND I WILL SOLVE THOSE
PROBLEMS. WE WILL GET THEM SOLVED.
ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION IS A PROBLEM
FOR MEXICO AS WELL AS FOR US.
DRUGS ARE A TREMENDOUS PROBLEM.
FOR MEXICO AS WELL AS US.
IT'S NOT A ONE-WAY STREET.
AND WE'LL WORK TOGETHER AND
WE'LL GET THOSE PROBLEMS SOLVED.
>> Translator: FIRST SPECIFIC
WITH -- IN WHICH I'VE EXPRESSED
HOW THE GOVERNMENT OF MEXICO HAS
SHOWN COMPLETE RESPECT FOR THE
ELECTIONS IN THE UNITED STATES,
TRUMP HAS QUICKLY ANSWERED THE
QUESTION DEAL WITH BILATERAL
RELATIONSHIPS.
THE RELEVANCE BETWEEN THE TWO --
THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE TWO
COUNTRIES, THE IMPORTANCE, THE
STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN
THE TWO COUNTRIES, I HAVE --
IT'S SOMETHING THAT I HAVE
UNDERSCORED. AND THE PRESIDENT OF MEXICO HAS
GREAT RESPONSIBILITY OF
DEFENDING THE INTERESTS OF THE
MEXICANS. THE MEXICANS HERE IN MEXICO AND
THOSE WHO ARE OUTSIDE OF MEXICO.
THERE HAS MAYBE BEEN A POOR
MISUNDERSTAND I
MISUNDERSTANDING OR STATEMENTS
THAT HAVE MAYBE UTTER,
UNFORTUNATELY, AND IMPACTED --
HAD AN IMPACT ON MEXICANS AND
THEIR PERCEPTION OF THE
CANDIDACY -- OF HIS CANDIDACY.
AND I RESPECT THAT.
MEXICANS HAVE FELT OFFENDED BY
WHAT HAS BEEN SAID.
BUT I AM CERTAIN THAT HIS
GENUINE INTEREST IS IN BUILDING
A RELATIONSHIP THAT WILL PROVIDE
OUR MUTUAL SOCIETIES' IMPROVED
WELL-BEING, AND THAT THE
INTENTION AND WILL OF THE
PRESIDENT OF MEXICO IS TO MEET
WITH BOTH CANDIDATES IN THE
PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS IN THE
UNITED STATES SO THAT WE CAN
BUILD TOGETHER.
BUT, ABOVE ALL, ON THE BASIS OF
A MUTUAL RESPECT BETWEEN US,
THAT IS WHAT I SHARED WITH MR.
TRUMP, THE CANDIDATE.
>> AS DONALD TRUMPAL OUT OF
THE BRIEFING ROOM THERE IN
MEXICO CITY, WITH THE PRESIDENT
OF MEXICO, BRIAN WILLIAMS HERE
WITH YOU FROM NEW YORK AS OUR
SPECIAL COVERAGE CONTINUES INTO
THIS KIND OF EXTRAORDINARY,
CERTAINLY HASTILY ARRANGED VISIT
BY MR. TRUMP TO MEXICO.
WE JUST HEARD THERE WHAT WAS NOT
DISCUSSED.
WE HEARD EARLIER WHAT WAS
DISCUSSED.
MD TO TRY TO GET OUR ARMS AROUND
ALL OF THIS, WE WILL START OFF
BY GOING ACROSS TOWN TO THE
STUDIOS AT BLOOMBERG TELEVISION
WHERE SHE'S FILLING IN TONIGHT
AS CO-HOST OF THE BROADCAST
"WITH ALL DUE RESPECT" AIRING AT
6:00 EASTERN, NICOLLE WALLACE,
FORMER COMMUNICATIONS DIRECTOR
IN THE BUSH WHITE HOUSE.
NICOLLE, I THINK IT WILL BE FAIR
TO SAY THIS IS NOT THE DONALD
TRUMP OF A YEAR AGO, A WEEK AGO,
A DAY AGO. WHAT DO YOU MAKE OF IT?
>> FIRST OFF, HAVING WORKED FOR
A PRESIDENT, YOU COULDN'T HELP
BUT NOTICE THE SIMILARITY
BETWEEN THE ACTUAL BACKDROP
BEHIND HIS HEAD. IT'S VERY SIMILAR TO WHAT A
PRESIDENT OR ANY WORLD LEADER
STANDS IN FRONT OF WHEN THEY
ADDRESS THE UNITED NATIONS.
A MORE PRESIDENTIAL SETTING OR
BACKDROP YOU COULD NOT HAVE
CONCEIVED IF YOU HAD THE JOB OF
CONCEIVING A PRESIDENTIAL
APPEARANCE. WE IN THE POLITICAL PRESS WILL
FIXATE ON WHAT YOU WERE TALKING
ABOUT.
HE DIDN'T TALK ABOUT THE WALL OR
WHO PAYS FOR THE WALL.
BUT VOTERS WHO ARE GOING TO SORT
OF TURN TO THIS ELECTION ANEW
THIS WEEK AND NEXT WILL HAVE A
NEW IMAGE OF DONALD TRUMP.
ONE THEY'VE NEVER SEEN BEFORE.
HIM STANDING SHOULDER TO
SHOULDER IN A NEARLY SUBDUED
MANNER, SPEAKING OFF NOTE CARDS,
STANDING NEXT TO A WORLD LEADER
WHO INVITED HIM TO COME TO HIS
COUNTRY.
IT WAS, ON STAGECRAFT, AN
A-PLUS.
ON SUBSTANCE, TBD.
WE DON'T KNOW OF ANYTHING THEY
DISCUSSED WILL SORT OF HOLD UP.
WE DON'T KNOW IF THE COMMENTS
ABOUT NAFTA ARE CENTRAL TO THE
CAMPAIGN DONALD TRUMP HAS RUN.
HE TALKED ABOUT THE AGREEMENT
NOT SERVING AMERICA AS WELL AS
IT HAS SERVED MEXICO.
I HAD HEARD FROM ONE OF TRUMP'S
ADVISERS THAT PART OF THE
OUTCOME OF TODAY'S MEETING WOULD
BE TO MAKE MEXICO A PARTNER IN
RENEGOTIATING NAFTA WITH TRUMP.
I'M SORRY, WITH CHINA TO HAVE
AMERICA AND MEXICO PARTNER UP.
SO I DON'T KNOW IF THAT CAME TO
BE. I THINK PEOPLE WHO HAVE
COUNTERED HIM OUT WILL HAVE TO
TAKE A LOOK AT WHAT HE PULLED
OFF WITH A LOT OF SECRECY AND IN
TERMS OF PULLING OFF THE
STAGECRAFT.
AS A GUY WHO HASN'T GIVEN UP
YET. HE'S STILL VERY MUCH IN THE
FIGHT.
WE'LL SEE IF VOTERS ARE STILL
WILLING TO ACCEPT A SORT OF
TRUMP 3.0, WHICH IS WHAT HE
TRIED TO PRESENT TODAY IN
MEXICO. >> ONE MORE QUESTION, AND I KNOW
YOU HAVE TO GO N GET READY FOR
YOUR OTHER BROADCAST TODAY.
AND THE QUESTION IS THIS, TO
COIN A PHRASE, WITH ALL DUE
RESPECT, ANY POLITICIAN CAN DO
WHAT WE JUST SAW.
A KIND OF FIVE-POINT STATEMENT
SHAGGING OFF FASTBALL QUESTIONS
ABOUT, OH, THE WALL, WE DIDN'T
DISCUSS WHO IS GOING TO PAY FOR
IT. BUT GIVEN DONALD TRUMP'S BASE,
THE BASE, I GUESS, OF YOUR NEW
DESIGN REPUBLICAN PARTY, HOW
WILL THIS GO OVER ON HIS
SIGNATURE ISSUE?
>> LISTEN.
THE REALITY IS THAT THE TERRAIN
THE CAMPAIGN IS BEING FOUGHT ON
IS NOT FAVORABLE TO DONALD
TRUMP.
HE'S PUT HIMSELF IN A BOX WHERE
THE 40% OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY
THAT HE'S REINSPIRED IS VERY
ANIMATED BY HIS PROMISE TO
DEPORT THE 11 MILLION PEOPLE WHO
ARE HERE.
THAT'S WILDLY UNPOPULAR BEYOND
HIS BASE OF SUPPORT.
AND THAT'S WILDLY UNPOPULAR
WHERE HE STOOD TODAY.
IN TERMS OF CHANGING OR
ADJUSTING OR TWEAKING THE
CONTO
CONTOURS, I'M NOT SURE HE MADE
ANY PROGRESS ON THAT POINT.
BUT IN TERMS OF REPACKAGING
HIMSELF, WHICH IS NOT
IRRELEVANT. YOU KNOW, WE SPEND A LOT OF TIME
TALKING ABOUT HOW VOTERS
PERCEIVE THESE CANDIDATES.
PART OF IT IS WHAT THEY LOOK
LIKE. TODAY HE CERTAINLY LOOKED LIKE
SOMEONE WHO CAN TAKE THE STAGE.
WHETHER HE PASSES ON SUBSTANCE,
I DON'T THINK WE KNOW YET HOW
VOTERS WILL PROCESS HIS
RESPONSES. WE JUST HEARD THEM OURSELVES.
YOU'RE RIGHT ON THE SUBSTANCE ON
THIS QUESTION OF IMMIGRATION, HE
HAS PAINTED HIMSELF INTO A VERY
NARROW BOX.
>> NICOLLE WALLACE, WE'LL LOOK
FOR YOU TONIGHT ON "WITH ALL DUE
RESPECT." THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
>>> NOW TO A MEMBER OF OUR
FAMILY WHO WAS IN THE ROOM FOR
WHAT WE JUST WITNESSED IN MEXICO
CITY.
JOSE DIAZ-BALART.
N I'M GOING TO RELY ON YOU TO
GIVE THE FOLKS WATCHING A LITTLE
BIT OF BACKGROUND ON THE
POPULARITY OF NOT JUST DONALD
TRUMP BUT OF THE MEXICAN
PRESIDENT RIGHT NOW IN MEXICO
GOING INTO TODAY.
>> BRIAN, LET'S GO WITH SOME
RECENT NUMBERS BY THE NEWSPAPER
THAT DOES VERY RESPECTABLE
POLLING IN MEXICO.
THE LATEST POLL SHOWS ENRIQUE
PENA NIETO, THE PROFIT MEXICO,
HAS A 23% FAVORABILITY AMONG THE
MEXICAN PEOPLE.
BUT THAT'S LOW, BRIAN.
UNTIL YOU COMPARE AND CONTRAST
IT WITH THE FAVORABILITY TO
DONALD TRUMP HAS IN MEXICO.
3%.
THESE ARE TWO PEOPLE THAT RIGHT
NOW AREN'T THE FAVORITE SONS OF
ANYONE HERE IN MEXICO.
N THE FACT PRESIDENT NIETO WOULD
MEET WITH DONALD TRUMP, A MAN
THAT FOR MORE THAN A YEAR HAS
BEEN TALKING ABOUT HOW THE WALL
WILL BE BUILT AND MEXICO WILL
PAY FOR IT, IMAGINE HOW A
COUNTRY SEES ANOTHER POTENTIAL
PRESIDENT TALKING ABOUT HOW
THEY, THE MEXICANS, ARE GOING TO
PAY.
NOT TRYING TO GET THE MEXICANS
TO PAY.
WE'RE GOING TO SEE IF WORKING
TOGETHER, SOME OF THE METHODS
USED HERE TODAY. IT'S WE'RE GOING TO MAKE THEM
PAY. AND THAT'S BEEN GOING ON FOR A
YEAR. SO TO SEE DONALD TRUMP HERE
TODAY AND NICOLLE WAS TALKING
ABOUT HOW HE DOES CHANGE THE
NARRATIVE IN THE SENSE THE
PRESIDENT OF MEXICO STANDING
SIDE BY SIDE WITH DONALD TRUMP,
A MAN WHO HAS BEEN SAYING FOR A
YEAR NOW THAT THOSE WHO CROSSED
THE BORDER ILLEGALLY ARE RAPISTS
AND MURDERS.
BUT THEY'RE ALSO PARENTS AND
GRANDPARENTS AND PEOPLE WHO HAVE
BEEN WORKING AND CONTRIBUTING TO
OUR COUNTRY, TO THE UNITED
STATES OF AMERICA.
MANY OF THEM FOR GENERATIONS.
MANY OF THEM UNDERNEATH THE
SHADOWS BUT WORKING.
AND PROGRESSING AND
CONTRIBUTING. SO IT'S VERY INTERESTING.
THERE'S A HASHTAG THAT'S BEEN
TRENDING ALL DAY.
IT'S CALL -- "TRUMP IS NOT
WELCOME." I DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH THIS VISIT
IS GOING TO CHANGE THAT
SENTIMENT. >> JOSE, WHAT WAS THE VIBE LIKE
IN THE ROOM?
WE WERE LIMITED TO THE PICTURES
WE COULD SEE.
WE COULD SEE THE BACKS OF THE
HEADS OF SENATOR SESSIONS,
FORMER MAYOR GIULIANI AND WHAT
LOOKED LIKE TRUMP'S SON-IN-LAW
HAVING MADE THE TRIP.
WE COULD HEAR SOME HUBBUB IN THE
BACKGROUND, BUT WHAT WAS IT LIKE
IN THERE?
>> MAYBE 75 REPORTERS AND --
MANY OF THEM [ INAUDIBLE ].
I SAT BY MIGUEL, AND
INTERESTING -- IT WAS A CORDIAL
KIND OF BODY LANGUAGE.
AND THEN IN THE CONVERSATION, IN
THE DECLARATIONS THEY EACH HAD,
WE'RE HERE TO LEARN FROM EACH
OTHER AND [ INAUDIBLE ] -- IN
NAFTA AND IT'S REALLY KIND OF SO
DIFFERENT THAN WHAT WE'VE BEEN
SEEING FOR A YEAR NOW.
IF YOU OR ANYBODY WATCHING HAD
KIND OF HYPOTHESIZED A YEAR AGO
WHAT A MEETING BETWEEN DONALD
TRUMP N TAND THE PRESIDENT OF
MEXICO WOULD LOOK LIKE OR SOUND
LIKE, I THINK WE PROBABLY IN THE
LAST YEAR THINK IT WOULDN'T HAVE
SOUNDED ANYTHING LIKE WHAT WE
HEARD HERE TODAY.
>> JOSE DIAZ-BALART JOINING US
BY TELEPHONE FROM MEXICO CITY.
HE WAS PRESENT IN THE ROOM FOR
THIS EVENT WE JUST WITNESSED.
LET'S TAKE A STEP BACK AND
REMEMBER WHAT PRECEDED THIS AND
WHAT NOW FOLLOWS THIS.
THIS WAS A HASTILY ARRANGED.
THAT MAY DO THIS EVENT A FAVOR
BY CALLING IT THAT.
HASTILY PUT TOGETHER.
THE MEMBERS OF THE PRESS CORPS
WHO TRAVEL WITH AND COVER DONALD
TRUMP DAY-TO-DAY LEARNED PRETTY
MUCH ALONG WITH THE REST OF US
THIS WAS A GO LAST NIGHT.
THE PEOPLE WHO WERE THERE IN THE
ROOM WHO ARE RECOGNIZABLE
AMERICAN REPORTERS WERE REALLY
LIMITED TO A LIST WHO HAPPENED
TO HAVE ACCESS TO A PASSPORT.
GOT THEIR PASSPORTS FISHED OUT
AND FLOWN TO THEM OR WERE
TRAVELING WITH THEIR PASSPORTS.
THEY MADE COMMERCIAL AIR
ARRANGEMENTS TO GET DOWN THERE.
AND THUS, WE HEARD A FEW
QUESTIONS FROM THE AMERICAN
REPORTERS.
IT WAS A CHALLENGE, LET'S CALL
IT THAT, FOR SECURITY, FOR
LOGISTICS, FOR MEMBERS OF THE
U.S. SECRET SERVICE.
THEY APPARENTLY HAVE AVOIDED THE
ADDED SECURITY CHALLENGE AND THE
APPEARANCE OF ANYTHING GOING
WRONG IN A MOTORCADE THROUGH
MEXICO CITY BY HELICOPTERING
DONALD TRUMP FROM THE AIRPORT TO
THE GROUNDS OF THE PRESIDENTIAL
PALACE. SO A LOT WENT INTO THIS.
AND THEN, OF COURSE, THE DAY
CULMINATES TONIGHT WITH A SPEECH
AND RALLY IN PHOENIX THAT THE
TRUMP CAMPAIGN HAS BEEN
PROMOTING AS HIS DEFINITIVE
STATEMENT ON IMMIGRATION.
WE'RE HAPPY TO BE JOINED BY
CHRIS WILSON, DEPUTY DIRECTOR OF
THE MEXICO INSTITUTE AT THE
WILSON CENTER.
CHRIS, WHAT DID YOU MAKE OF WHAT
WE JUST WITNESSED?
>> WOW.
WHAT A HUGE CHANGE IN TONE SINCE
LAST SUMMER FOR DONALD TRUMP
ABOUT MEXICO.
HE TALKED ABOUT PARTNERSHIP.
HE TALKED ABOUT SHARED
RESPONSIBILITY FOR JOINT
PROBLEMS.
THINGS LIKE DRUG TRAFFICKING,
BEING SOMETHING THE UNITED
STATES AND MEXICO SHOULD BE
WORKING ON TOGETHER.
THE TONE COULD NOT HAVE BEEN ANY
MORE DIFFERENT FROM WHAT WE'VE
HEARD AND GOTTEN USED TO HEARING
OVER THE LAST SEVERAL MONTHS AND
EVEN YEAR. BUT IN TERMS OF POLICY, I'M NOT
SURE THAT I HEARD ANY REAL
CHANGES.
WE STILL HEARD A TOUGH LINE ON
IMMIGRATION. WE'RE STILL TALKING ABOUT A
WALL.
IT WILL BE VERY INTERESTING WHAT
HAPPENS TONIGHT IN THE SPEECH TO
SEE IF WE HEAR ANY REAL CHANGES
IN POLICY THERE.
CERTAINLY THE POSTURE TOWARD
NAFTA AND TRADE WAS A SIMILAR
ONE TO WHAT WE'VE HEARD BEFORE,
EXCEPT FOR PERHAPS ONE THING
THERE, WHICH WAS THAT WE STARTED
TALKING ABOUT -- TRADITIONALLY
MEXICO HAS BEEN MADE OUT TO BE
THE VILLAIN OF NAFTA AND TRADE
AND WHERE THE JOBS IN THE UNITED
STATES THAT ARE LOST ARE GOING
TO, BUT HERE WE HEARD TODAY
ABOUT THE UNITED STATES AND
MEXICO WORKING TOGETHER TO
DEFEND REGIONAL MANUFACTURING,
TO DEFEND JOBS IN THE
HEMISPHERE, VIS-A-VIS
COMPETITORS LIKE CHINA.
AND THAT'S A MUCH MORE REALIST
IC DESCRIPTION OF THE
ENVIRONMENT THE UNITED STATES IS IN.
WE HAVE A SYSTEM OF JOINT
MANUFACTURING BETWEEN OUR TWO
COUNTRIES. AND TRADE WITH MEXICO ACTUALLY
SUPPORTING THAT RATHER THAN
TAKING AWAY FROM THAT.
MINOR SHIFTS THERE, BUT LET'S
SEE HOW THEY TURN INTO POLICIES.
I THINK THAT'S THE BIG QUESTION
HERE.
BUT NONETHELESS, HUGE CHANGE IN
TONE. >> ONE OF MY OXIOMS IS A WEEK IS
A YEAR IN POLITICS, AND TO YOUR
FIRST POINT, HELP ME REWIND A
BIT HERE AND LET'S REMEMBER THAT
218 WORDS INTO HIS SPEECH
ANNOUNCING HIS CANDIDACY, HE
SAID, MEXICO IS NOT OUR FRIEND.
BELIEVE ME.
THIS IS LIGHT YEARS FROM THE
DONALD TRUMP WE'VE COME TO KNOW
AND WE'VE SEEN ALMOST ON A DAILY
BASIS DURING THIS CAMPAIGN.
>> THAT'S EXACTLY RIGHT.
IT'S AN ENORMOUS CHANGE IN THE
WAY THAT HE DESCRIBED MEXICO.
NO TALK ABOUT RAPISTS AND
MURDERERS. THERE'S TALK ABOUT FRIENDS AND
PARTNERS. ABOUT THE ABILITY FOR US TO FIND
COMMON INTERESTS.
AND THE TWO COUNTRIES WILL EACH,
THE TWO PRESIDENTS WILL EACH
HAVE TO DEFEND VOSIS ROUGHLY
THEIR POPULATIONS.
BUT THE IDEA THAT SHIFTED IS
THEY CAN DO THAT TOGETHER
VIS-A-VIS PROBLEMS AROUND THE
WORLD.
SO THE TONE SHIFTING BETWEEN
NIGHT AND DAY FROM WHAT WE'VE
BEEN USED TO HEARING.
I REALLY CAN'T WAIT TO HEAR THIS
SPEECH TONIGHT BECAUSE I THINK
THAT WILL GIVE US AN INSIGHT
INTO WHETHER OR NOT THERE'S TWO
MESSAGES GOING ON.
THIS IS ONE THING THE TRUMP
CANDIDACY HAS BEEN SO ADEPT AT.
SPEAKING TO MU ING TING TO MULT.
. IS THERE ONE MESSAGE FOR AN
AUDIENCE IN MEXICO AND ANOTHER
MESSAGE FOR THE AUDIENCE IN THE
UNITED STATES OR IS THIS TRULY A
SHIFT IN THE CAMPAIGN?
IS THIS A SHIFT TO THE GENERAL
ELECTION APPROACH?
A SHIFT TO A LITTLE SOFTER, MORE
HUMANIZED APPROACH TO MIGRATION?
AND WE'LL JUST HAVE TO SEE.
>> CHRIS WILSON, DEPUTY DIRECTOR
OF THE MEXICO INSTITUTE AT THE
WOODROW WILSON INTERNATIONAL
CENTER FOR SCHOLARS.
THANK YOU FOR BEING A PART OF
OUR COVERAGE.
AND NOW LET'S PREVIEW THIS
EVENING, KELLY O'DONNELL
STANDING BY IN PHOENIX, ARIZONA.
AGAIN, THE SCENE OF TONIGHT'S
SPEECH ON IMMIGRATION.
KELLY, HARD TO KNOW WHERE TO
BEGINNING. BUT TO SUM UP OUR LAST TWO
CONVERSATIONS, THE REMARKS WE
JUST HEARD, GIVE OR TAKE A FEW
ITEMS ON THE MARGIN, COULD BE
DELIVERED BY A NATIONAL RANK
POLITICIAN. HOW WILL IT GO OVER?
THAT DONALD TRUMP BEFORE HIS
BASE AT THE EVENT TONIGHT?
>> FROM MY REPORT, WHAT WE HEARD
FROM DONALD TRUMP MAY JUST STAY
IN MEXICO, AND THERE MAY BE A
RETURN TO THE FEISTIER DONALD
TRUMP BY THE TIME HE ARRIVES
HERE IN PHOENIX.
FROM MY REPORTING, THE PLAN FOR
THE IMMIGRATION SPEECH IS FOR
DONALD TRUMP TO SORT OF TAKE
BACK THE HARDER LINE AND TO BE
ABLE TO DO THAT FOLLOWING THIS
MOMENT ON THE WORLD STAGE WHERE
HE HAD THAT PRIVATE MEETING WITH
THE CREDIBILITY OF HAVING JEFF
SESSIONS WHO IS ONE OF THE MOST
HARD-LINERS ON IMMIGRATION WHO
HAS BEEN INFLUENTIAL IN HIS
POLICY.
RUDY GIULIANI WITH HIM THERE IN
MEXICO.
EXPECT THAT DONALD TRUMP WILL
TRY TO RECAPTURE SOME OF THE
FIRE. NOW AT THE SAME TIME, THOSE
ADVISERS WHO HAVE BEEN
ENCOURAGING HIM TO HAVE THIS
SORT OF A MOMENT, THINK THIS IS
A PLUS HE WAS ABLE TO APPEAR,
THAT HE WAS SOMBER IN TONE.
THERE WAS A PLAN TO HAVE THIS
JOINT STATEMENT THAT WAS WORKED
OUT.
A DEMONSTRATION OF HIS ABILITY
TO BE A LOWER VOLUME.
AT THE SAME TIME, THESE POINTS
THAT HE OUTLINED, HIS FIVE
POINTS TOUCHING ON THINGS.
VERY RESPECTFUL OF THE
RELATIONSHIP WITH MEXICO AND
SOME OF THEIR BROADER CONCERNS
ABOUT MIGRATION FROM COUNTRIES
SOUTH FROM THEM. THAT KIND OF THING IS SOMETHING
THAT DONALD TRUMP SEEMS TO WANT
TO AGREE TO DO TO PUT HIM ON
THAT SAME STAGE. I THINK IT'S VERY IMPORTANT TO
KNOW IN THE INNER WORKINGS OF
THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN, TRUMP'S
SON-IN-LAW HAS REALLY BEEN
INFLUENTIAL IN BRINGING THIS
TRIP ABOUT, ARGUING FOR ITS
IMPORTANCE.
OTHER ADVISERS AGREED AS WELL
BELIEVING THERE WAS VALUE IN IT.
BUT IT IS HARD TO OVERSTATE THE
INFLUENCE OF SOMEONE WHO DOESN'T
HAVE THE TITLE IN THE CAMPAIGN
BUT HAS MAYBE THE CLOSEST SEAT
AT THE TABLE.
THAT'S TRUMP'S SON-IN-LAW, JARED
KUSHNER.
THIS TYPE OF OPPORTUNITY FOR
DONALD TRUMP TO BE SEEN IN THE
WAYS WITH THE LECTERNS AND THE
TRAPPINGS OF STATESMANSHIP AND
TO DO THAT PRIOR TO GIVING THIS
ADDRESS, TO BE ABLE TO HAVE
TOUCHED THE NOTE HE HAS LOOKED
FACE-TO-FACE, MET A WORLD LEADER
IN THE EYE. SO WHAT HAPPENS WHEN HE GETS TO
PHOENIX? HOW WILL IT BE CHANGED?
ONE THING WE KNOW ABOUT DONALD
TRUMP IS HE FEEDS OFF THE
AUDIENCE. WHEN HE'S IN THE SETTING WE JUST
SAW, THERE ISN'T THAT GIVE AND
TAKE AND ENERGY TO GIVE FROM.
HE HAS TO LISTEN THROUGH AN
INTERPRETATION AND THINK ABOUT
THE COMMENTS.
IT'S SORT OF A QUESTION THAT HE
TOOK QUESTIONS.
TYPICALLY SOMEONE NOT A HEAD OF
STATE WOULDN'T NECESSARILY DO
THAT.
IS THAT A POLITICAL RISK?
WE'LL HAVE TO SEE HOW IT PAYS
OUT. IT HELPED US FIND OUT AN ANSWER
TO THE QUESTION, WHO PAYS FOR
THE WALL QUESTION AND WASN'T
DONALD TRUMP UNUSUALLY MEASURED
THERE SAYING THIS WAS A DISCUSSION ABOUT THE WALL BUT
PAYING FOR IT IS FOR LATER.
TYPICALLY NOT DONALD TRUMP'S
STYLE TO SORT OF PARCEL OUTING
HIS VIEWS.
THAT SEEMED TO BE A NOD OF
TRYING TO BE IN THE CLOAK OF
WHAT A CANDIDATE, WHAT A
POSSIBLE PRESIDENT WOULD DO.
SO VERY INTERESTING.
EXPECT TONIGHT TO BE MORE ABOUT
HILLARY CLINTON, HER PLANS ON
IMMIGRATION AND THAT SERVES TWO
PURPOSES THAT ARE IMPORTANT AT
THIS LATE STAGE OF THE CAMPAIGN.
ANY MOMENT THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT
HILLARY CLINTON IS A GOOD DAY
FOR DONALD TRUMP.
AND WHEN YOU HAVE IT BE ABOUT AN
ISSUE AS POTENT AS IMMIGRATION,
THAT'S WHAT THE CAMPAIGN WANTS
TO SEE.
>> BEFORE WE RETURN TO STEVE
KORNACKI WHO HOUR WE'VE STEPPED
HERE, ONE MORE QUESTION, WHAT
CAN WE EXPECT IN TERMS OF
AUDIENCE, AUDIENCE SIZE,
BACKDROP.
IS THIS A SEATED SPEECH OR
STANDING RALLY WITH A SPEECH ON
IMMIGRATION? >> WELL, MY UNDERSTANDING IS
IT'S MORE FORMAL IN THAT SETTING
BUT WITH A CROWD THAT'S ALSO
BEEN INFUSED BY THE REPUBLICAN
PARTY OF ARIZONA. THIS IS A MORE SANCTIONED,
FORMAL GATHERING.
WE'VE ALREADY SEEN THE TRAPPINGS
OF THOSE PEOPLE WHO LIKE TO COME
TO TRUMP EVENTS WITH THEIR FLAGS
AND SIGNS.
SOME OF THAT HAS STARTED.
WE'RE STILL HOURS OFF.
BUT THAT KIND OF A MOVE WILL MIX
BOTH A MORE ESTABLISHMENT VIEW
AND MORE TRUMP RALLY VIBE.
OF COURSE, THIS MEXICO TRIP
HASTILY PLANNED BUT SOMETHING
I'VE LEARNED THAT THE TRUMP
CAMPAIGN HAS BEEN THINKING ABOUT
FOR A PERIOD OF WEEKS.
WOULD THERE BE A WAY TO HAVE
SUCH A MEETING OCCUR, AND THEY
MADE IT HAPPEN.
>> THANK YOU, KELLEY.
HAVING HEARD FROM PHOENIX AND
MEXICO CITY, AFTER A BREAK,
WE'LL HEAD DOWN TO THE
U.S./MEXICO BORDER AS OUR LIVE

I'M STEVE KORNACKI.
WE'VE SEEN DONALD TRUMP WITH
THAT PRESS CONFERENCE, A JOINT
APPEARANCE WITH THE PRESIDENT OF
MEXICO, ENRIQUE PENA NIETO.
DONALD TRUMP NOW MAKING HIS WAY
BACK NORTH OF THE BORDER.
HE'S SET FOR THE SECOND MAJOR
COMPONENT OF HIS DAY, A FEW
HOURS FROM NOW. HE'LL BE IN PHOENIX, ARIZONA,
DELIVERING A MUCH-ANTICIPATED
SPEECH, A MAJOR SPEECH, HIS
CAMPAIGN SAYS, WHERE HE'LL
OUTLINE HIS DEFINITIVE POSITION
ON THE QUESTION OF IMMIGRATION.
TWO MONTHS BEFORE THE ELECTION.
THERE'S BEEN SOME QUESTION ABOUT
DONALD TRUMP AND EXACTLY WHAT
HE'S GOING TO BE CALLING FOR ON
IMMIGRATION.
HE SAID A WEEK AGO HE MAY BE
SOFTENING HIS POSITION.
OBVIOUSLY, LOTS OF QUESTIONS
ABOUT WHAT THOSE MEAN.
THOSE QUESTIONS HEIGHTENED BY
SOME OF WHAT YOU JUST SAW.
LOOKING AT THE SCREEN THERE,
THAT'S WAS A FEW MINUTES AGO.
DONALD TRUMP WITH THE PRESIDENT
OF MEXICO, HOLDING THAT PRESS
CONFERENCE. A COUPLE NOTABLE THINGS.
DONALD TRUMP WHO LAUNCHED HIS
CAMPAIGN FOR PRESIDENT OVER A
YEAR AGO SAYING THAT MEXICO
SHOULD NOT BE CONSIDERED OUR
FRIEND. AT THE END OF THAT PRESS
CONFERENCE HE EXTENDED HIS HAND
TO THE PRESIDENT OF MEXICO AND
SAID, I CONSIDER YOU A FRIEND.
DONALD TRUMP WHO ALSO IN THAT
PRESS CONFERENCE IN THAT SPEECH,
WHEN HE ANNOUNCED HIS CANDIDACY
FOR PRESIDENT BACK IN JUNE 2016,
HE TALKED ABOUT MEXICANS COMING
ACROSS THE SOUTHERN BORDER INTO
THE UNITED STATES AS RAPISTS, AS
MURDERERS. HE SAID TODAY THIS PRESS
CONFERENCE THAT MEXICAN
AMERICANS, FIRST GENERATION,
SECOND GENERATION, THIRD
GENERATION, HE CONSIDERS THEM
BEYOND REPROACH.
CERTAINLY A DIFFERENT TONE THERE
FROM DONALD TRUMP IN THOSE
COMMENTS TODAY.
WE'LL BRING IN JACOB SOBOROFF,
DOWN ALONG THE U.S./MEXICAN
BORDER IN ANTICIPATION OF THIS
SPEECH TODAY.
OBVIOUSLY, THE BORDER FEATURING
PROMINENTLY, NOT JUST IN DONALD
TRUMP'S COMMENTS TODAY.
DONALD TRUMP REITERATED HIS CALL
FOR A WALL ALONG THE U.S.
BORDER. HE SAID NOTABLY THAT ISSUE OF
HAVING MEXICO PAY FOR IT, THAT
WAS NOT ADDRESSED IN THIS
MEETING TODAY.
ALSO THE PRESIDENT OF MEXICO
TALKING ABOUT BORDER SECURITY AS
WELL. HE WAS TALKING ABOUT IT FROM THE
SOUTH, IN TERMS OF CENTRAL
AMERICA AND SOUTH AMERICA.
>> ABSOLUTELY, STEVE.
LET ME TELL YOU WHERE WE ARE
NOW.
THIS IS JUST NORTH OF TIJUANA,
MEXICO.
THE BORDER PATROL TOOK ME ON A
TOUR TO SHOW ME A PLACE ON THE
BORDER WITH MEXICO HERE IN THE
SAN DIEGO SECTOR WHERE THERE IS
NO BORDER WALL.
THERE ARE NINE SECTORS OF THE
BORDER PATROL, THE BORDER PATROL
REGIONS WITH MEXICO.
THIS IS ONLY ONE OF THEM.
THE BORDER PATROL MAINTAINS THEY
DON'T NEED A WALL IN THAT
LOCATION BECAUSE OF A
COMBINATION OF TECHNOLOGY,
INFRASTRUCTURE AND MANPOWER.
INTERESTINGLY, WE HEARD THE
EXACT SAME LANGUAGE FROM MEXICAN
PRESIDENT ENRIQUE PENA NIETO.
WITH TECHNOLOGY, INFRASTRUCTURE
AND MANPOWER, THE TWO COUNTRIES
CAN WORK TOGETHER ON ILLEGAL
IMMIGRATION.
THE BORDER PATROL USED THAT
PHRASE IN THE CONTEXT OF THAT
NEEDING A WALL ALONG THE
ENTIRETY OF THE SOUTHERN BORDER.
WHETHER OR NOT THE MEXICAN
PRESIDENT MEANT TO USE THAT
PHRASE FOR THE SAME REASON, IS
OBVIOUSLY TO BE DETERMINED.
BUT IT WILL BE INTERESTING TO
KNOW, WHAT DID HE TALK ABOUT
INSIDE THAT ROOM WITH DONALD
TRUMP? DID HE USE THAT SAME
TERMINOLOGY, DID HE DO IT IN THE
CONTEXT, NOT NECESSARILY MEANING
A BORDER WALL ACROSS THE ENTIRE
BORDER BUT ADDITIONAL MEANS OF
ENFORCEMENT. THE BORDER PATROL HERE IN THE
UNITED STATES LIKES TO SAY THAT
USING THAT THREE-PRONGED
APPROACH, THE LEVEL OF
APPREHENSIONS ALONG THE SOUTHERN
BORDER HERE WITH MEXICO IS AT AN
ALL-TIME LOW.
OR NEAR AN ALL-TIME LOW.
THEY HAVE DONE THAT WITHOUT A
BORDER WALL ACROSS THE SOUTHERN
BORDER.
AGAIN, INTERESTING TO HEAR THE
MEXICAN PRESIDENT USE THE SAME
LANGUAGE THERE TODAY.
>> JACOB SOBOROFF ALONG THE
U.S./MEXICO BORDER.
ALL THE ATTENTION SHIFTING BACK
TO THE NORTHERN SIDE OF THAT
BORDER. DONALD TRUMP SET TO GIVE THAT
MAJOR SPEECH ON IMMIGRATION JUST
A FEW HOURS FROM NOW.
WE'LL HAVE LIVE COVERAGE AT
9:00.
I WILL BE BACK HERE AT 7:00 FOR
"HARDBALL."
FIRST, "MTP DAILY" STARTS RIGHT
NOW.
>>> IF IT'S WEDNESDAY, ANOTHER
TRUMPIAN SIDE SHOW TAKES CENTER
STAGE.
THE DONALD SHAKES THINGS UP WITH
A SUDDEN TRIP TO MEXICO.
THE SAVVY POLITICAL MOVE
STEALING THE SPOTLIGHT FROM
HILLARY CLINTON? OR A DISASTER IN THE MAKING?
>> YOU DON'T BUILD A COALITION
BY INSULTING OUR FRIENDS OR
ACTING LIKE A LOOSE CANNON.
>>> PLUS, WHY TRUMP MAY BE THE
MOST DISLIKED AMERICAN IN
MEXICO.
>> I'M NOT GOING TO PAY FOR THAT
[ BLEEP ] WALL.
>> AND IT WAS THE NIGHT OF SORE
LOSERS.
>> I HOPE THE SENATOR CAN REST
COMFORTABLY. >> HOW YESTERDAY'S PRIMARIES
BROUGHT OUT THE WORST IN SOME
POLITICAL CANDIDATES.
