[Cooper:] We've been talking tonight about Pennsylvania. There's breaking news tonight about involving the Keystone State. We just learned that ads from Trump campaign will start airing this weekend in five battleground states including Pennsylvania. As Paul Begala mentioned earlier, his super PAC is pulling advertising in Pennsylvania and two other states because in this words, Hillary Clinton was so far ahead in them at this point. No doubt it's welcome news to the Clinton campaign. This however is not new fallout from her e-mail issues and a big step today from the FBI. More and all of that from our Joe Johns.
[Joe Johns, Cnn Correspondent:] Hillary Clinton campaigning today at a Philadelphia voter registration event.
[Hillary Clinton,  Presidential Candidate:] When Donald Trump speaks, he speaks about fear. He speaks about such negativity and such pessimism.
[Johns:] But her e-mail controversy still casting a shadow over her campaign. The FBI releasing a new report to Congress detailing why it recommended no charges be filed against the former secretary of state over her use of her private e-mail server. The report also includes notes taken by the FBI during witness interviews. The report is classified but it does keep the controversy alive for Clinton while offering Trump another talking point against her.
[Trump:] Hillary Clinton lacks the judgment, as said by Bernie Sanders, stability and temperament and the moral character to lead our nation.
[Johns:] The Clinton campaign saying they prefer the report be released publicly rather than forth selectively released by someone with political motives against Clinton. Meantime, Clinton is polling very well in key battleground states like Virginia. A new "Washington Post" poll finds Clinton ahead of Trump by eight points there, 51 percent to 43 percent among likely voters. In fact, Clinton is doing so well, her super PAC Priorities USA is pulling ads in Virginia along with crucial states Colorado and Pennsylvania for much of September.
[Unidentified Female:] Priorities USA action is responsible for the content of this advertising.
[Johns:] The group telling CNN Clinton's early success in those states means they can focus their attention and cash in states where it's more need. In Philadelphia today, she was working hard to turn out African-American voters in record numbers.
[Clinton:] We want you all to register to vote. We have places to register because we don't want you on the sidelines come November.
[Johns:] Clinton courting the black vote a day after vying for white working class voters alongside Vice President Joe Biden in Scranton, Pennsylvania, trying to hold on to the battleground state that has gone to Democrats in every presidential election since Bill Clinton won it in 1992.
[Clinton:] Friends should not let friends vote for Trump.
[Johns:] And the Clinton campaign is already putting together its transition team, announcing former Colorado senator and Interior Secretary Ken Salazar will lead it. Joe Johns, CNN, Philadelphia.
[Cooper:] And we're back with the panel. When you look at these polls in battleground states, I mean, right now Donald Trump is not doing as well as Hillary Clinton is, do you think the Democrats are getting a little cocky on this? I mean, there are more than 80 days left to go.
[Mcenany:] I think they are certainly, because, you know, as we'd mentioned previously in this panel is that Hillary Clinton's voting base is going to be made up of minorities, they need minorities to turn out. They also need millennial's to turn out. Those two groups are tailor-made for Trump's message because those two groups have suffered the most under this economy. They still face double digit real unemployment. They have depressed wages. In Chicago, there are have been more than 2,000 homicides...
[Cooper:] I mean there was just a piece in the "Times" today, and again, you can think the "Times" is, you know, ridiculous as Trump does or not, but, you know, they look at what outreach the Trump campaign is doing to African-Americans and there were a lot of African-American conservative groups who he hasn't reached out, even pastors, who, you know, there they had a meeting a long time ago, got a lot of press coverage, but going to a conservative African- American church and making a speech, things like that which is a traditional kind of retail politics, he's not doing.
[Mcenany:] And I think that's something that he needs to break into in these next 80 days.
[Cooper:] You would like to see him do that?
[Mcenany:] Absolutely. We know that he has Mark Burns, a phenomenal African-American pastor and Darryl Scott, but he needs to go and reach out to this broader community and bring this message of the economy and safety. We know there have been more than 2000 homicides in Chicago. That is startling. His message is tailor-made...
[Cooper:] But it was interesting, Tara, I mean the "Times" used the example of him going to Detroit.
[Setmayer:] Right.
[Cooper:] Basically flew in there.
[Setmayer:] Yup.
[Cooper:] Had a, you know, a big rally...
[Setmayer:] Yup.
[Cooper:] ... in a largely white area, left without kind of going to any inner city area where, you know, he could have stopped into a barbershop or something get...
[Setmayer:] Yeah. There were many blown opportunities. A year ago, Donald Trump had an opportunity, I think, to get maybe 20 percent of the black vote because people know who he is, they respect him as a businessman and I think that there hasn't been great economic growth actually, it's been horrible for black America under Barack Obama in the number of areas. So I think they were right for it. Donald Trump blew that. And not only is he not going to get anywhere close to that, we saw the polling is 1 percent maybe up to three possibly. That's abysmal. In Detroit that would have been a perfect opportunity for him. There are plenty of black-owned businesses, plenty of areas in Detroit, with Detroit trying to make a comeback that Donald Trump could have gone and given and used his, "business prowess" that he brags about all the time to show why his business and free enterprise and empowerment zones and things like policies like that, that could be beneficial for the black community. Talk about school choice. He didn't do that. And not only that, he has given zero money to his National Diversity Council. He has no problem parading black faces out in front of him and pastors that want to get their faces on television, but he does the campaign has given no money whatsoever, no investment in that. Donald Trump had an opportunity to speak in front of the NAACP conference which is right in Cincinnati.
[Mcenany:] Right.
[Setmayer:] When we were our convention was in Cleveland, he said no. He didn't go to the NABJ conference, which is the largest great gathering of black journalists in this country. They didn't even bother to get a phone call back. Not to the urban league. He's done zero media for any major black media outlet. And here we are 80 days plus before the election, you think you're going to just swoop in and convince people? It's not going to work.
[Cooper:] [Inaudible] just in terms of focus groups and stuff? Paul.
[Begala:] Yeah. These are public polls. In Ohio and Pennsylvania, Trump is polling zero in the Africa-American, zero, now there's a three point margin of error so it could be minus three. Like somehow we could have like white people pretending to be black just to hate on Trump. He's polling nationally in Wall Street Journal Poll one, among African-Americans. So I guess as a strategist you got to hunt where the ducks are. And I understand and why he did it. Look what Hillary did. She went to Scranton, right, which is not her part of Pennsylvania. She's going to win Pittsburgh and Philadelphia and the suburbs, right? She went to Scranton, which is the heart of blue collar, you haven't tease them, but that's the heart of blue collar older white men is from. Joe Biden with her, she's going for those votes that are at Trump's space.
[Quinn:] She's reaching out, literally into Biden's old home and was kind of around the kitchen with voters. And we all know that's not Hillary's best moments, but she's pushing herself.
[Cooper:] If Trump doesn't like to do those traditional kind of I mean, its big stadium events which again, during the primary it obviously worked very well for him and he seems most comfortable in that.
[Bump:] Yeah, that's exactly right. I mean he did he hadn't had to do them, right? He didn't really have to transition into becoming a normal politician which was good for him. I mean he's he doesn't want to be a normal politician. I think the core question here is can Donald Trump who's been under the media scrutiny constantly since June 16th of 2015, can he now convince people that he is something different than what they have come to understand for the past year and a half.
[Cooper:] Or is it or it is too late. Right.
[Bump:] Or is it too late with 80 days left.
[Quinn:] But you know what else I think it speaks to is, it just kind of a lack of interest or curiosity. Doesn't Donald Trump want to go out and meet the Americans? Go to communities he hasn't been to before? Speak to the people he says he wants to help?
[Cooper:] Well, you can be I mean, you can make the same argument about, you know, any politician I mean, have does Hillary Clinton really want to go out... I mean, maybe she does, I don't know but.
[Begala:] You actually do learn things.
[Quinn:] Yeah.
[Cooper:] No, I'm not saying you don't learn things. Of course, you learn things, but do they really want to do it?
[Quinn:] I actually think Hillary loves...
[Lavalle:] And actually for so long, she has no she's not in touch with you.
[Quinn:] I sat with Hillary in these events and she and those kind of 20 person roundtables, she's engaged.
[Cooper:] Right. That's what people...
[Quinn:] She's questioning. In fact, a fact.
[Cooper:] We've got to take another break as we await for Donald Trump to take the podium. Apparently he's running late. There are one of the questions going to be looking at, are there states in this country that are dealing with people trying to impose Sharia Law? This is something that a Trump adviser, General Flynn, actually said on this program last night. I was sort of surprised when he said it because I've looked into this and every time I've look into it, I couldn't really find what they were looking at. He was talking about Florida and Texas last night. We'll get a reality check on that and as we wait for Donald Trump's speech.
