ben ferguson, maria cardona and kabc radio host john phillips. donald trump gave a speech where he depicted a country in serious trouble in a number of ways. he said he would be the law and order candidate. and depicted a nation he said was rampant with lawlessness. listen to him talking a little bit. >> on january 20th, 2017, the day i take the oath of office -- [ applause ] >> -- americans will finally wake up in a country where the laws of the united states are enforced. >> so it is interesting. donald trump's convention speech here in july and some ways reacting more to the last three or four weeks than the last year of american history. john phillips, do you think that law and order, which is what donald trump talked about last night, can sustain his candidacy until november? >> i think so. if you watched cnn, you saw the massacre in orlando and massacre in san bernardino. you saw the massacre in paris. it is one right after another. you have the police shootings where police officers were assassinated for no other reason other than the fact

we have john phillips and maria cardona. did donald trump successfully turn the page from friday's disaster in his campaign? did he successfully move on from that last night? >> i think toward the end of the debate, there were people talking about different things than what they were talking about when the debate began which was the leaked videotapes. i don't think that's the end of it. i think there were warning more tapes leaked this week. >> you know, there is an 11:00 a.m. conference call with paul ryan. when pressed, he called it locker room banter which grates on many people that republicans have to answer for. when pressed by anderson last night whether or not he acted on that locker room banter. this is what was said. >> just for the record, though, are you saying what you said on that bus 11 years ago you did not actually kiss women without consent or grope women? >> i have great respect for women. nobody has more respect for women. >> for the record you are saying you never did that? >> frankly, you hear these thin

he was better on that. >> what is maria cardona's thoughts about that? that is coming up. >>> and we will talk about your tax bill. donald trump talked about that. >> her plan is going to raise taxes and double your taxes. her tax plan is a disaster. we will have a massive, massive tax increase under hillary clinton's plan. >> doubling your taxes under hillary clinton's plan. her plan calls for a range of increases on wages and investments. they target the highest household. most would not see the tax bill double. she wants to implement the buffett rule. anyone making $1 million or more would pay at least 30% of that in federal income taxes. some of these earners pay 15% right now. those tax bills could double. really rich people, your tax bill could double. tax policies say those in the top 1%, your bill would rise 12%. here is the most of us. middle and low income houses would see a small tax cut on average. >>> we will have more on debate coverage coming up. high moments. low moments for both candidates. did donald trump do what he needed to do to clo

cnn political commentator and washington correspondent for the new yorker ryan lizza maria cardona. your reaction, that trump himself may have leaked this audiotape? >> i think sue carswell has some major explaining to do for her accusations are they're inflammatory. as she's gone on her media blitz the last 24 hours it's amazing, her story has changed and has presented some flaws to it. when she first did her story on nbc it was basically, okay, fine, it was her opinion, it was the story. then she went on another news network and told the female host on that network that she had actually -- there were two copies of the tape, she assumed mr. trump had the other copy, and that when she moved she lost her copy. so that's why this couldn't be her that leaked it because her copy was lost. so she makes two assumptions there. then she goes on this morning, on michael smerconish's show, and she comes up with this accusation that mr. trump leaked it. which is absolutely insane considering the trump -- it's actually very libel almost because that's saying the trump campaign leaked something

cardona, the reason people keep bringing this up is just that. first of all, honesty is important. >> and sure. >> prior to today comey said to the american people was not exactly honest, but people keep looking at this is aing there seems to be a much easier way out of this politically that hillary clinton is choosing to take. >> i agree with david that what she needs to focus on is sort of the bigger picture. she has apologized to the american people several times and she knows it was a mistake and she will continue to do it again and she will continue to say that as the question arises and the reason she brought this up is because there is a frustration and even though comey obviously rebuked her, but he also did say that there's no evidence that she lied to the fbi. he also said in the hearing and not to her, but in the hearing to democrats, he said things that did exonerate her. so, for example, he said and i'm going to read this, when they talked about the congressman cartwrieft talked about how there were no markings on these three e-mails

we'll talk more about this with my guest bob barr, maria cardona as well as bill press. we'll be right back. [plumber] i need to be where the pipes are. so i use quickbooks and run my entire business from the cloud. i keep an eye on sales and expenses from anywhere. even down here in the dark i can still see we're having a great month. and celebrate accordingly. i run on quickbooks.that's how i own it. (neighbor) yeah, so we're just bringing your son home. (dad) ah! greetings, neighbor. neighbor boy. he really loves our wireless directv receiver. (dad) he should know better. we're settlers. we settle for cable. but let us repay you for your troubles. fresh milk for the journey home? (neighbor) we live right there. (dad) salted meats? (neighbor) no thank you. (dad) hats then! (vo) don't be a settler, get a $100 reward card when you switch to directv. this is lloyd. to prove to you that the better choice for him is aleve. he's agreed to give it up. ok, but i have 30 acres to cover by sundown. we'll be with him all day as he goes back to taking tylenol. yeah, i was ok, but

let's bring in our guests, maria car d c cardonas and frank buckley. welcome to both of you. >> thank you. good morning. welcome to washington. >> good to see you in person. let's talk about this shifting map. for the first time in our map, hillary clinton is below 270. donald trump above 200. a few more paths potentially for him to 270. are you concerned? >> sure. democrats should always be concerned. hillary clinton's campaign should wake up every day believing she is ten points behind. that's how you win. complacency is how we lose. i think where we are is she still has a lead. let's remember that going into the same weekend in 2012, barack obama and mitt romney were tied. he still pulled it out with a comfortable margin. she is four points ahead in the national polls, ahead in most of the battleground states. the hillary clinton campaign is leaving nothing on the table there. they are taking absolutely nothing for granted. her coalition will look different, a little different. it is going to be the hillary clinton coalitin, not the obama coalition.

. >> i want to bring in maria cardona, angela rye, jack kingston and alex stewart, former communications director for ted cruise. donald trump is seizing on every speck of news about e-mail or the clinton foundation donors for obvious reasons but what is the basis for a special prosecutor? >> well, i don't know that in this politically charged atmosphere that secretary clinton could get a fair hearing and that over and over again she wants to cooperate. she should join in the calling for a special prosecutor. if you think access to the secretary of state is easy to do, i would challenge anybody listening to this to call and see if they can get a meeting with secretary kerry. you absolutely cannot. >> the basis for a special prosecutor would be what again? >> that she was selling access, absolutely selling access. she met with 16 countries that gave over $170 million to the clinton foundation. this was absolutely pay to play. there's no question about it. i've been in this town a long time and you can see it, you can smell it, you can feel it and this was absolutely pay to play. >> let's

washington correspondent for the "new yorker," hillary clinton supporter, maria cardona, white house political director, jeffrey lord. ryan, they are obviously capitalizing the trump camp on hillary clinton, trying once again to explain her e-mails and the situation and how she explained it to the fbi and the american people. she said yesterday, i may have short-circuited in my response. my response could have been better and more clear. how effective is this for trump to portray her as a robot when he obviously is capitalizing on what others see as a weakness of his on the temperament front, right? he says she's a robot. you know what you're going to get. with me, not so much. >> yeah. i mean, look, both candidates have some pretty well-known and serious vulnerabilities, right? for the democrats and the republicans, these are the two candidates with the highest disapproval ratings that either party has nominated. >> yeah. >> and so, you know, when trump is not stepping in it himself, he's got some things to work with here. and i think an ad like this, i doubt -- this is more to play

cardona. we just heard that sound for the first time, i have to say, that was sherman-esque, if you're going to say you're not going to run for office, that is how you do it. not this i have no intention of it, no plans to run for office. no, no, i'm not going to do it. >> she means it. it would be the end of her carefully constructed and winning image, and this new territory that she's carving out for herself as a moral voice. a nonpartisan moral voice for the country. >> let's talk about new territory. you get the sense that her life starting january 20th at 12:01 is going to be a lot different than she may have been planning for. >> it's a different world. she i think was planning on a genuinely private and quiet retirement. and the last six months have changed her trajectory and our nation's. i think now she cannot retreat, she's found our voice. she sees what a necessary voice it is that people are looking for hope. she provides that, she's a role model. she's not only to african-american

josh rogin, amanda carpenter and maria cardona and john philfilp. she a staff writer for melania trump. we will talk about where that came from. john. >> we discussed many people who inspired her. a person she has always liked is michelle obama. over the phone, she read me some passages from the speech, i wrote them down and included some of the phrasing in the draft that ultimately became in the final speech. i apologize for the confusion and hysteria my mistake caused. >> this is what is interesting to me. this is a staff writer for the trump organization, not the campaign. an also she says these were passages originally read to her by melania trump. what do you make of that? you have written speeches before. >> it is sloppy work. the speech writer recorded it and kept it as dictated to her and melania didn't care it was kept in the same format when she delivered it. you know, it clears a lot of leeway for a lot of people who don't do this professionally. at the same time, they took so long to come out with the truth. they made staffers lie on the

back with me now, tana goertz, michael isikoff, and maria cardona. i promised you first, tana. maria was saying this was se sending a terrible children to second generation latino children -- first generation. >> what i was going to say, don, is mr. trump is the definition of the american dream. he has employed thousands of people who are living out the american dream, working for an american icon. he has done more for more entrepreneurs than anyone that i know in the history of business. so this is a man who inspires people, who can get followers to get behind him and learn from him, and he mentors people like he mentored me. and you read his books, and you learn from him. i have numerous, numerous stories of people who went to trump university, and they are millionaires today. but we never talk about those stories. so the success stories of donald trump being the american dream is so inspiring, it inspires me every day to do better. >> maria. >> then you know what, tana, have him stay a businessman. he has no business running for president because running for president -- >>

we have bill press her, david chalian, mark preston, maria cardona, van jones. you all are killing me. >> we're going to get nametags. >> we'll talk about all this. a lot to chew on, right? we'll be right back with all of that. right after this. ♪ ♪ ♪ words panera lives by. no artificial flavors, preservatives, sweeteners. no colors from artificial sources. 100% of our food will be clean by year's end. that's food as it should be. ♪ if ynow's the time to get your ducks in a row. to learn about medicare, and the options you have. you see, medicare doesn't cover everything - only about 80% of your part b medical expenses. the rest is up to you. so if 65 is around the corner, think about an aarp medicare supplement insurance plan, insured by unitedhealthcare insurance company. like all standardized medicare supplement insurance plans, they help cover some of what medicare doesn't pay. and could save you in out-of-pocket medical costs. so don't wait. call to request your free decision guide. and gather the information now to help you choose a plan later. the

back with me, maria cardona, van jones, kayleigh mcenany and matt schlapp. is bernie sanders going all the way to the convention? of course he is. every surrogate who has been on said he is going. there is a new poll saying a very tight race in california on tuesday. you think a lot of sanders voters aren't being polled and are being insulted and patronized? why do you think that? >> well, no, no. i think a couple things. one is i think that this race is going to be a lot tighter than people thought. certainly even a month ago. but a couple of factors here. one is all the bernie people here are going to vote. i happen to be in oakland for game seven -- go dubs -- for game serve. >> oh, lord. >> and i happened to run into a massive crowd of people i thought were in oakland to see game seven. they were there for bernie sanders. so they're all going to go vote. hillary clinton's people may not vote as strong even though she's got a lot of support. also i think his people may not be getting polled. young people, people on cell phones. so i think it could be a su

and inside the washington center, maria cardona, monitoring the event for us. and in miami, trump campaign senior adviser, jay delgado. paul, let me start with you and get your immediate reaction to you. this was a very different speech from the one we heard from hillary clinton earlier today. this was her first day back on the trail after three days off battling pneumonia. earlier today, it was much more subdued, talking more about policy. really didn't mention donald trump at all by name in that speech. but tonight, you know, directly at him. >> yeah, boy, she went right at him, particularly on those issues that matter to latinos. this is a constituency where trump is averaging 17 to 19 in the swing states in a univision poll. 17 to 19%. mitt romney got 27 and lost. trump's got to get 40 to 50, of latino votes. that seems like a high mountain and she knows that. but the question is turnout. will they all turn out. but as a campaign veteran, one little insider thing, really important. she cited "the washington post" interview in which mr. trump again said he w

democratic strategist maria cardona. and kristine gwynn. and kayleigh mcenany and more. there was a lot to discuss about that. let's start with the business side of this. maggie was talking about christine the fact that donald trump really won't budge on the idea there might be conflicts of interest between how he's behaving during this transition period and his own personal business interests. what do you make of his answers there? >> i find it bizarre that if you are the president of the united states you can have no conflicts. it is like a mega papal blessing he gave himself that he's ab solved from all of this. it makes so sense.absolved from. it makes so sense. in government you have to be particularly careful disclosing all of your outside interests. recusing yourself from any business that has anything to do with it. we would have counsel members recuse from votes on school funding for schools where their children went. that is how specific it gets in government. nonetheless, what multi national, international foreign interests he might have and we're hearing repo

practi maria cardona and melissa carpenter. former communications director for ted cruz. on the right, john phillips for kacv radio host. let's talk a bit here. if you were writing the speech for melania trump or introduction remarks for donald trump, unconventional way. >> is melania going to play into that theme? we don't hear from her a lot. we see her a lot. how does donald trump introduce her? we don't hear him talk about his wife or his relationship with his wife. will they get equal time as we saw with trump and pence? he may still dominant. i could see him take longer to introduce his wife. >> will it soften him or hum humanize him? >> that is the reason why she will be speaking. she will try to bring us a different view or perspective of donald trump. i think the challenge is and she is lovely. lovely woman. she seems very nice. she doesn't -- i don't see her connecting with any real segment or community of the american people which is what you try to have a potential first lady today. you have seen in the past potential first ladies have tried to do that. i don'

maria cardona and lisa carpenter and then john phillips with kabc. some are saying come on. give her a break. somebody lifted something inadvertently. the focus should be on hillary clinton. not on melania trump. >> they will get beat up today. only thing worse than plagiarizing something is when they didn't approve the speech. the lesson is go out and hire the next peggy noonan. the bar is set low. they are not expecting her to go out and explain the cure for cancer. they are expecting her to go out and say nice things about her husband and everyone is happy and everyone goes home. if the trump campaign can learn something, spend a little money and hire speech writers. >> amanda, they are saying a team of writers took inspiration from her life. they are not saying anything is lifted from obama. >> this is where it is a campaign issue. people will forgive her and her staff if you admit a mistake. if you watch the clips and see how similar where they are speaking about their husbands and it is clear it was lifted. they are making a mistake. own up to it. admit it. apologize a

joining us here live is tara setmayer, and maria cardona and ben ferguson, the host of the ben ferguson show. good morning. we have done a lot on the democratic race. hopefully maybe while we're talking, we will get an official delegation. let's talk about the one winner we know for sure, ben ferguson, that is ted cruz. i suppose there is one loser, he would not like me saying that, that is donald trump. >> it will be very weird moving forward to see how donald trump deals with this. it will be interesting to see where the money goes. you will see a lot of small donors continue to really pour in to ted cruz. the big question is the big checks that are going to people like jeb bush. where will they go? i think marco rubio is going to be the person getting this. i think the big take away is this, everyone was expecting that donald trump would win this. then the question of how do you stop him? are you able to stop him when he is over 40% in the national poll. the national poll doesn't matter anymore. you have three viable candidates. you may have a one with kasich in new hampshire. we don

joining me to discuss, helen foray for the republican national committee and maria cardona, commentator and democratic strategist. good to see both of you. >> thank you. >> helen, let me begin with you. we heard from elian gonzalez praising castro and many cuban-americans sharply disagreeing awedably now. do you think castro's death will change the direction that we've seen thus far in the past year and a half with the obama administration? will it change under the direction of a president donald trump? >> well, thank you, fredericka for the opportunity to speak today. one of the things that we see here in miami and i was on southwest 8th street yesterday for many hours and it was a bitter sweet moment, you're happy for the dawn of a new era and possibility of democracy perhaps having an opportunity to flow. but at the same time, sad that there was the price after 57 years of a brutal dictatorship, that's been so much tragedy and loss of hul an life. even gonzalez had violent acts, including the drowning of his mother trying to bring him to freedom in the united states. when we look wha

i just don't want you to be shot by someone who shouldn't have a gun in the first place. >> maria cardona, these been a big talking issue. that moment landed well in the crowd. how do you think it played with america? >> well, we'll see. but i think one of the ways that she did this so brilliantly is that it was an absolute dire direct -- you know, she was refuting what donald trump said about her when has been a complete lie. she didn't do it angrily. she didn't do it loudly. she did it methodically and she did it in a way that i think gave americans -- it gave them a way not to worry about what they were talking about. the if you were one of those americans who owns a gun and worry about having her take it away. >> i think the reason maria said we'll see is because there is a genuine concern that that talk that is anti-second amendment, that it -- it alien ates certain voters. it was a negative declaration saying here is what i won't do. >> i really disagree with kevin. hillary clinton did something today that i wish barack obama would have done. but just take this head on. but the pref

this is for maria cardona. before steve bannon went to work for trump he interviewed trump for breitbart radio and in one conversation donald trump defended the idea that we should give priority to highly educated immigrants. >> we have to keep our talented people in this country. i think you agree with that. do you agree with that? >> i have got a tougher -- when two thirds or 3/4 of the ceos are from asia. my point is a country is more than an economy. we are a civic society. >> by the way that number doesn't check out because he seriously exaggerated the number of asian executives. what do you think of that exchange? >> i think it points out the criticism of steve bannon, what it has been all along. he delves into this language that can be communicated to all these communities of color as bigoted and racist. that's why you have so many people out on the streets so many people afraid of the their own future and the future of communities when you have somebody like steve bannon who has normalized hatred and ra

so bernie sanders will not run out of money, maria cardona. so how will the clinton campaign pivot and take him on in new hampshire, or is the clinton campaign going to pivot? tell me, we have a town hall, hillary clinton walks on the stage and says what? >> she says that she hopes that she will earn every vote in new hampshire and she will focus on the message that she has focused on up until now which is how she is the one going to be best prepared and will fight the hardest for middle class voters. for those who have been left out. and that she is the one who has the best experience and knows how to do the job from day one. >> but that is not what she has been saying that brought it to a statistical tie -- >> but it says she has won the majority, and is still ahead by quite a large margin. will that still be the case, after tonight we'll see. but i think what i was talking about earlier, again, she is at her best when she is competing hard for this. it is better for the democratic party when there are two out there with messages that are re

back with me, kayleigh mcenany, and maria cardona. i want to talk about a o'reilly clip. i want to talk about this looming over hillary clinton as the debate as some observed. >> she came into my territory. she came into my territory. i was standing at my lectern and she walks right in front of me so i never walked near her. she stands right in front of me. the next day, it was i was in her space. i was standing at my chair, my lectern. this is typical hillary clinton. >> bob, what do you think? >> i think some of the body language is a little bit overrated. remember when john mccain, and barack obama. these town-hall settings, where john mccain went the wrong way and portrayed it as him wondering around. you definitely noticed. trump is a lot taller than hillary clinton, so he does tower over her, but i think some of this stuff is just a little bit too much. >> yeah, it's everyone looking into putting something there that may not be there. but he was standing behind her and he could have sat down. she did sit down, but as you say many people just kind of overplay it. it

this was the scene thanksgiving evening -- of a car crash involving 22-year-old juana maria cardona- alvarez and her 25-year-old boyfriend and rising bluegrass musician, hiroshi arakawa...also known as hiro. the pair were hit by 18-year-old driver nicholas alberto rivera-rubio -- traveling at hour. the accident left cardona- alvarez dead, and sent arakawa to wakemed icu. leaving friends and family in disbelief. "thanksgiving is a really big holiday for travel and i always worry about family and friends being safe. and i think my first reaction was just shock." friends tell us, cardona-alvarez and arakawa had just left a thanksgiving dinner and were headed to knightdale to finish the evening with family -- unfortunately, they never made it. both were in the visas and met while attending wake tech. "he's been in pretty serious condition so i know he's probably unaware of anything that's happened to her right now. but i know it's going to hit him pretty hard." arakawa was a rising gem in the bluegrass scene and moved from japan to raleigh to play music. his friends calling him a "rare t

maria cardona, a hillary clinton supporter, joins us. so good to see you. >> a lot of people are saying, this guy was granted top security, secret security clearance. he had access to highly sensitive information. he is a chicago security's trainer. what qualifies him? >> my understanding is that this is a board that seeks to have a balanced point of view from people with diverse backgrounds. my understanding is that he had a background in international business, international finance and implementing sophisticated risk management tools and that he was interested and very focused on all of these issues. look, the vetting for these kinds of board positions is vast. it is tough. so he had to go through that security vetting. if he got top security clearance, it's because he had the qualifications to obtain it. i don't really know anything other than that. but i will tell you this. if this is what the focus of the opposition of donald trump and the republican campaign is going to be in terms of their criticism of hillary clinton versus thei

let's bring in hillary clinton supporter maria cardona. good morning to you. >> good morning. >> what you heard there from a staunch supporter of donald trump about his views on immigration. what do you think? >> well, i actually don't think much of joe arpaio. the man is a national disgrace. today "the washington post" had a scathing editorial about this man who has continually flouted the law. has been found in contempt of court repeatedly. and has now been referred for criminal prosecution to the department of justice because he refuses to stop racial profiling to keep his deputies from harassing latinos, who are u.s. citizens, by the way. simply because of the color of their skin and how they look and sound. and this is a man who is advising a potential president on immigration law. i'm sorry, but it just does not ring true or credible or anything in terms of this man having anything to do with our nation's immigration laws. >> he talked about the nixon administration and hoping to punish mexico in ways other than specifically dealing

cardona. thank you for joining us. yeah, he says it's going to be difficult for him to win ohio. look at trump, he says he is the best deal-maker out there. why can he not seal john kasich on board? because even you admitted he needs this. >> oh, he does, every republican needs the state of ohio. the question i think jake probably asked governor john kasich, what can donald trump do to win your support? or at the very least stop being the worst torpedos that are coming from the campaign are the same ones with r's by their name. you can sit down with interviews with john mccain, lindsey graham, and they will be the worst sticks of dynamite that will implode the donald trump campaign. what are they risking right now against the other republican supporters who may not be thrilled with donald trump but by god he knows he is a lot better than hillary clinton. you don't see one democratic governor sitting down and knocking hillary clinton. and it's not that they're agreeing with her. until they give

turning to you, maria cardona, a hillary clinton supporter. i wonder what you think about what you heard from bob dole when it comes to advice to trump in taking on the clintons. he said the clintons have a whole lot of baggage. >> well, if what he means by that is that donald trump should continue to hit the clintons on whatever he believes that baggage is, i think that would backfire. you know, again, we were talking about earlier about addition versus subtraction and what donald trump did in the republican primary process to win. it's very different than what he needs to do in the general election with a general electorate for different than the republican party. these tactics will backfire. you can see republican strategists saying those tactics backfire. specifically with an incredibly important demographic, which is women. women get turned off by those kinds of personal attacks, and let's remember, that donald trump lives in a glass house when it comes to this type of baggage, if you will, so, you know, if he goes down that road, he has

let's go back to our panel, jeffrey lord and maria cardona. good morning to you both again. >> good morning. >> let's start with hillary clinton's effort to win over millennials. there's been a lot of talk about it. she's doing well in terms of percentage of that vote but enthusiasm is the challenge here. i want to read you something she said at a february fund-raiser. this is just a bit of it. let's put it on the screen, speaking to sanders' supporters she says this, some are new to politics completely. they're children of the great recession and they're living in their parent's basement and they feel they got the education and the jobs that they have available are to them are not at all what they envisioned for themselves. and they don't see much of a future." it seems divisive? >> no, she has said we have to edge fa these where they're coming from. i want to point out the first part of your quote when she talked about the nationalist xenophobic, she was talking about the discourse on the republican side. >> let me just read that there's a s

. >> maria cardona is joining us, jeffrey lord, donna brazile as well. jeffrey is a trump supporter and a former white house reagan political director. donna is a top political party official. donna, your thoughts on what you heard on the stage? >> within i think the first 20 minutes, karen tumulty, a wonderful journalist, she posed a question i think a lot of americans want to know, is donald trump a racist? hillary clinton said you can draw your own conclusions but she went on to talk about the unamerican things he has said and how it's divisive and his tone. but she also pointed out that she was one of the first politicians to call him on his comments about mexicans and others. the reason why i think that's relevant is on the republican side you have a lot of turmoil right now. i think part of the reason is because donald trump hesitated on the second try or third try to denounce the ku klux klan or david duke. disassociate himself. i thought that was a very important question. i thought hillary clinton handed herself very well. she had a lot of tough

here to talk about it, maria cardona, cnn political commentator, clinton support. amy klein, co-founder. trump supporter. the secretary is going to be fact-checking donald trump, we should expect a lot of that. i love a good fact-check. but is that the best use of her time? we look back at the most memorable moments of the presidential debates over the last 30 years, not one is a fact-check or policy arguments? >> well, i think it is an important thing to do because what we have seen throughout this campaign is that donald trump has avoided facts like the plague. he's the most dishonest candidate we've had in presidential history. he lies every three minutes that he opens his mouth. he thinks that the american people are downright stupid. and hillary clinton is going to make sure that the american people actually understand and she's going to respect them by understanding that facts are important, regardless of what this man has tried to do in terms of turning facts on their head. so, it is an important thing and it will go to demonstrate that this man is completel

and here to discuss is maria cardona, and bill morris, and buck sexton who is a political xhen ta tosh and buck, you first, what is your response to hillary clinton's interview -- commentator and buck, you first, what is your response to hillary clinton's interview? >> well, it is nothing, and it seems luke she is trying to audition for the model a-team in high school, and of course, we will fight terror, and very clear that she does not want to specify wa type of terrorism, and she will say isis, but not beyond that, and no solution, and one in fairness, because we don't know that it is a terrorist attack yet, and it looks like it is, but the rhetoric in terms the of trump which is the point here of him being dangerous the america or dangerous to the world, it is just not going the sell. i don't think that people really believe that donald trump is going to be invading foreign countries for no reason. and hillary clinton's record tied to the obama record is one of continued failures of foreign policy, and iraq is worse than when barack obama took office in 2009, and afghanistan is wor

corey lewandowski, kayleigh mcenany, maria cardona, ana navarro and van jones. he is painting himself as an outsider against the status quo. many people have told me this would be the message that could turn things around for him. did anybody agree that this is a message that turns things around for him? i'm going to -- let's -- i'm going to ask a republican first. so let's ask kayleigh. did this turn things around for him? >> yes, because when you look at polls the media is historically low in its approval rating and politicians are also very low in their approval rating. so this message of getting back to the idea of public service, not personal enrichment, this idea that you shouldn't go into public office and come out like the clintons, hundreds of millions of dollars are richer. that's a compelling message. but it's one that has to be put forth constantly without distraction, without getting off message because it is one that resonates. this idea we're here to serve you, we've gotten away from that. >> he said he wants to get senior officials, people who wo

. >> you seem incredulous about this, maria cardona. >> yeah, because it's donald trump. what has he said before we can really count on he's going to follow through. look, the fact of the matter is there has been a huge fault equivalentsy throughout this campaign in terms of transparency and disclosure. hillary clinton is probably the candidate we know the most about in politics in modern history and donald trump has been the least transparent and the one we know the least about, both in health records when you compare the letters we got from their doctors and the one from -- the letter that we got from donald trump's doctor read like a page out of mad libs. it was a joke, it was a farcing to voters. let's see what he puts out tomorrow. what we have seen from secretary clinton is real health history, the medications, her blood pressure, her respiratory rate, her heart rate, ekgs, all of that which is what voters need to know. >> i have to give that to maria cardona. how do you argue against that? there is more information. when she says transparent, there are -- she's giv

and maria cardona, a superdelegate committed to hillary clinton. i have to ask you, ben, what do you make of sanders' comments about hillary clinton not qualified to be president? >> i think what we're seeing is that's we're getting into a place where the race has really tightened up. we've won 7 out of 8 races. in a couple of days, 8 out of 9 races. the clinton campaign said they were going to attack sanders, go after him and trying to discredit and disqualify and that's what they are doing. they've chosen to go heavily negative. bernie is from brooklyn, and he will frankly defend himself. >> what do you make of it, bob? do you think him saying hillary clinton not qualified to be president? >> i think that's a bit of a reach. i talked to ted devine for some time today, sanders chief strategist who used to work for me, which is why he's so good. in the course of this, i pieced together a strategy. four states really matter to them. new york, pennsylvania, indiana and california. if they can win two of those or maybe three, they go to the convention

news and author and with me here, cnn political contributor, maria cardona, a superdelegate. tana, welcome back. i want you to hear donald trump's response this morning. >> this is one of the worst mistakes trump has made. i think it's inexcusable. he's an american, period. >> i thought it was inappropriate what he said. >> so how upsetting were those comments to the campaign? did donald trump talk about it today on that call? >> he did not, don. i'm glad you're bringing that up because a lot of the outlets are saying that he was talking about newt and newt is no longer a vp candidate. newt's name never came up at all on the conference call today with mr. trump. >> so michael, in an interview taped earlier this afternoon, donald trump told bill o'reilly that he didn't care that the judge was of mexican heritage. listen. >> do you regret making it personal with the judge? >> look, i've had very, very unfair decisions. people said this should have gone away a long time ago in summary judgment. the defendant in the case was a horror show from the other side so they asked if the

. >> joining us now, maria cardona, kailee airline lewis, jeffrey lord and ana navarro. there was a lot to discuss. almost don't know where to start. let's start with the business side. maggie talking about christy and idea that donald trump won't budge on the idea there might be conflicts of interest between the transition period and his personal business interests. what do you make of it sf. >> i find it bizarre if you're president of the united states you can have no conflicts. it's like a mega papal blessing he gave himself. when you serve in government you have to be meticulously careful in disclosing all -- i know this from my time, disclosing outside interests and anything to do with it. at county level have councilman recuse from votes in schools where their children went. that's how specific it gets to. nonetheless what multinational/international foreign interests he may have, and hearing reports if they're true of him meeting with leaders from great britain pushing against a wind farm because it might block the view of the golf course. it's conflict of interes

tara setmayer and sally kohn along with ben ferguson and maria cardona. the iowa democratic party saying it was a close contact with robust turnout. what does that tell you about engagement in this campaign? >> it is fascinating since the republicans had a turnout vote of 125,000. this time up to 185,000 or so. people thought if there was more turnout, trump would win resoundi resoundingly. it goes back to the point that organization matters. ted cruz had 12,000 volunteers to get the cruz crew. they were organized on the ground. that matters in iowa. the fact that the donald trump campaign had virtually no organization on the ground. it is reported they did not pay for the infrastructure. volunteers did not know where to go or what to tell the supporters which precincts to go. that did not help donald trump. i think it is another part of the story here that it was ted cruz who benefitted. possibly marco rubio. ted cruz benefitted from the record turnout. >> no one can take away that trump can fill a room or stadium. that doesn't mean though that you have

maria cardona, you heard about the pushback from kayleigh mcenany talking about the idea of well, isn't this just what the clintons did? if this is for charity, asking for donations for charity so you can be close to the clintons. >> first of all, the clinton foundation is an actual charity that actually does charitable work, that actually saves lives around the world. so first, it was ant charity that was created as a front to then sell access to the president. >> a secretary of state outside of -- >> if you want access, you want -- >> and secondly. and secondly, let's just say, okay, the hypocrisy here? that is exactly what donald trump ran against. >> tas proven -- >> that is exactly what donald trump said in terms of draining the swamp. he's filling the swamp. >> after the break, the question is, will we ever hear about how donald trump will separate himselves from his sons, from his business interests, and doesn't this beg for a greater explanation. think about your answer. >> he gets time to think? >> we'll be right back. there's no one i'd rather hit the road with. no one i'd rat

john king, maria cardona. you're a hillary clinton supporter. you are not happy about the results. what do you make of what you have seen over the last 36 hours in terms of this transition? >> a couple things, anderson. i agree with man and everybody on this panel, so far what we have seen in this transition should give us hope, but here's the problem with that. donald trump's speech absolutely had the perfect tone. it had the right words, but five minutes of nice words is not going to make up for 15 months of what all of these communities that are now on the streets and many more who haven't said anything but are incredibly afraid of what's going to happen under a trump administration, it's going to take a lot more than just those five minutes of nice words to calm them. there are stories, not just of the folks who are attacking muslims. there are stories of trump supporters going up to women and grabbing them and calling them the c word. there are stories of trump supporters yelling at latinos, spic, you wetback, go back to mexico. there are stories of schools whose principals ha

that's right. >> maria, cardona, i know you and your team of clinton supporters like these poll numbers. however she is still bogged down in the e-mail issue. she comes out late this week and says well all this back and forth over the e-mails i guess i could have short circuited the way that i answered the question. the fbi director james comey said what she said to the fbi was truth fl but he testified july 7th that some of what she said to the american people would not truthful about her e-mails. why does she continue to be hampered by this? and why not come out more directly to the public that clearly has a trust issue with her? >> i do think she should come out more clearly and pick actually the words that comey did say. and this is exactly what she tried to do friday in terms of clarifying her comments. he said a couple things that were really important. the first one is that they have absolutely no evidence that she lied to the fbi. and the second thing is in his congressional testimony he said that those three e-mails that he talked about, those three out of 30,000 e-mails that h

back with me, hillary clinton supporter maria cardona and donald trump supporter paris. turn to something hillary clinton said at a fund-raiser last night about donald trump supporters. watch and then we'll talk to just be grossly generalistic, you could put half of trump supporters into what i call the basket of deplorables. right? the racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, islamophobic. you name it, and unfortunately there are people like that. and he has lifted them up. >> all right. let me come to you, maria. first, just being grossly generalistic seems like it could be troublesome for a candidate, and some compared this to mitt romney's 47% comment four years ago. do you think this was appropriate or even accurate, what hillary clinton said last night at that fund-raiser? >> well, i think certainly in is accurate what she said about donald trump mainstreaming a hate movement and having in -- and having given way too much influence into his own campaign. people who represent what we've been calling the alt-right movement. she gave a whole speech on this. you know, s

john king, maria cardona. you're a hillary clinton supporter. you are not happy about the results. what do you make of what you have seen over the last 36 hours in terms of this transition? >> a couple things, anderson. i agree with van and i think everybody on this panel that so far what we have seen in the transition should give us hope. but here's the problem with that. donald trump's speech absolutely had the perfect tone. it had the right words, but five minutes of nice words is not going to make up for 15 months of what all of these communities that are now on the streets and many more who haven't said anything but are incredibly afraid of what's going to happen under a trump administration, it's going to take a lot more than just those five minutes of nice words to calm them. there are stories, not just of the folks who are attacking muslims. there are stories of trump supporters going up to women and grabbing them and calling them the c word. there are stories of trump supporters yelling at latinos, spic, you wetback, go back to mexico. there are stories of schools whose pr

maria cardona -- >> hi, fred. >> hi! how are you? maria's a cnn political commentator and a democratic strategist who supports hillary clinton. all right, good to see you, as well. >> hey, fred. >> maria, you first. i just established that it's not a requirement, but it's become customary since 1976 that all of the candidates have released their tax returns. so is -- does this mean that voters have become so accustomed to this, that they need to see it in order to make, you know, a clear decision about who they want to vote for? >> absolutely! absolutely. and i think it was very telling when trump told george stephanopoulos, "it's none of your business." i think in essence, he was telling the voters and america, "it's none of your business." and i think america will say, hey, wait a minute, we are the one interviewing you for the highest office in the land, for the most powerful job in the world, and we need to see your taxes. and anything else that can prove to us that you can actually be somebody that we can trust in this very powe

here to discuss, charles will op ed columnist at the "new york times," kayleigh mcenany, and maria cardona and scottie nell hughes, a trump supporter -- >> is it halloween yet? >> i wanted to see your reaction to that. we have been discussing, as i was with the governor and lieutenant governor, megyn kelly, and newt gingrich, it got pretty heated last night. he, telling megyn bizarrely she was fascinated by sex. look at this. >> you are fascinated with sex and you don't care about public policy. >> me? really? >> that's what i get out of watching you tonight. do you want to comment on whether the clinton ticket has a relationship to a sexual predator? >> we on the kelly file have covered that story, as well, sir. >> i just want to hear you use the words "bill clinton sexual predator." i dare you, say "bill clinton sexual predator." >> we're going to leave it at that and you can take your anger issues and spend some time working on them, mr. speaker. thanks for being here. >> and you, too. >> that was so awesome. megyn. so any way. did he really do donald trump any favors last night with th
