For the past 5 or so years, he has supported 3 abortion exceptions.
He has waffled a bit over time on life vs health of the mother

Can we get the life vs health of mother clipped - DNC clips.

Title: Trump abortion platform wouldn't protect health of mother

And research do we have him on other exceptions?

Abortion

- Would change Republican platform to have three exceptions to abortion. Would make it life of the mother, not health of the mother

Asked about his unfavorables, what work do you have to do
- When people see that he's going to build a wall, get rid of Common Core, etc
- Women were one of the highest demographics for him in NY

Pressed again on comments on women and Muslims
- He did some things and said some things in fun, he said it as an entertainer on the Apprentice. No one respects women more than him. No one will take care of women's health issues more than him. Hillary Clinton can't do it, she doesn't have the strength or the energy.

A few additional notes with some verbatim quotes on North Carolina

North Carolina Law?

- "North Carolina did something that was very strong.

- "The problem with what happened in North Carolina is the strife and the economic punishment."

- Affirms that transgender people can choose which bathroom to use

- Discriminatory and unbelievably expensive to create separate bathrooms for transgender

Abortion? Changing GOP platform to reflect your views?

- Agrees in platform change to reflect exceptions.

- Life of the mother not health of the mother

Wall Street?

- Can't put someone in jail for making a bad business decision

- They are paid too much, but what are you going to do

- I have taken advantage of the banks probably more than any human being on earth"

Do you believe in raising taxes on the wealthy?

- "I do. I do. Including myself."

A lesson you learned growing up?

- Talks about his father working hard and loving what he did

Harriet Tubman? Is this a move about political correctness?

- "Andrew Jackson had a great history"... Did great things for the country

- "I think it's very rough when you take somebody off the bill."

- "Pure political correctness"

- Create more denominations

Missed first few minutes

Former Trump employee first questioner, thanks Trump for years of good union work... asks about ISIS

- against war in Iraq, ISIS was created because of the way we got out. We're going to rebuild our military and take out ISIS

Asked about his plan for region after bombing ISIS

- ISIS is making a fortune now in Libya off the oil. That was a Hillary Clinton deal. Hussein and Gaddafhi killed terrorists. We would be better off if we'd never looked at the Middle East for the last few years

Asked about undocumented immigrants who've been here for 25 years

- Asks questioners why she's using the phrase natural-born citizen. Suggesting her relatives are not, Ted Cruz is not

- We're going to go and create a path where people can get into the country but they have to come back legally. It's too tough to say they'll never come back. They'll come back legally

Asked about NC bathroom law:

- NC did something that was very strong

- One of the best answers he heard was from a commentator who said to leave it the way it is. NC with all the strife they're going through. There haven't been very many complaints with the way it is, just leave it. Keeps arguing how bad economically this was for North Carolina

- Doesn't know if he has transgender people working in his organization

- Says he'd be fine with Caitlyn Jenner using any bathroom in his tower

- Says creating new bathrooms just for transgender people would be unbelievably expensive for businesses, that could be discriminatory. Leave it the way it is

Abortion

- Would change Republican platform to have three exceptions to abortion. Would make it life of the mother, not health of the mother

How is he working to be more presidential?

- Easier for him to be presidential than to be what he's been doing for the last nine months

- He knows when to be presidential

Should any bankers have gone to jail after 2008?

- If they did something purposefully illegal, absolutely. Doesn't believe anyone has been indicted has gone to jail. A lot of mistakes were made. You can't put a businessman in jail because they made a bad deal or made a business mistake. But if they did something illegal or wrong they should go to jail

- He loves banks. He loves fighting with bankers. He's found bankers to be very honorable people, they want to do what's right for the country. Wall Street people are tough, they're smart, they bring great jobs into this country

- Says he does believe in raising taxes on the wealthy, including himself.

Woman on the $20, is this all about political correctness?

- Andrew Jackson had a great history and thinks it's very rough to take someone off the bill. The Broadway play saved Hamilton. Thinks Harriet Tubman is great, but doesn't want to take off Hamilton . Maybe we do the $2 bill or we do another bill. Would love to see another denomination, thinks it would be more appropriate.

What makes Trump emotional, when was last time you saw him cry?

Jr. - playing with grandkids. Great sense of humor.

Ivanka - Great with grandkids. Says Trump has lots of empathy, talks about times he's helped people you read about in the newspaper.

Melania: what is the habit you wish trump would give up?

- tweeting
