host: washington, d.c., trevor, democrat. drop the whole playful euphemisms of deterrence and response? so we are talking about is genocide and mass murder. i visited the titan missile site that was turned into a museum and what struck me was, there are no plans for the people who lost that missile to survive. it was the subject of jokes among the operators. this is annihilation. given that our real threat nuclear weapons is a symmetrix, people who we can't to deter with mass murder and mass annihilation. isn't it insane to incentivize our potentially unstable states like russia and pakistan to build more nuclear weapons, which could potentially end up in the hands of someone who wishes to use them? guest: that is the core of the argument from the arms control association and groups similar to that, that essentially the more the u.s. invests in nuclear weapons, the more likely it is other nations will do the same in the creates the potential for a rogue actor to lay hands on nuclear weapons. russia and the u.s. lead by magnit

our senior washington correspondent jeff zeleny is following the democratic contest for us. what's the latest? >> reporter: wolf, hillary clinton is pushing hard for super tuesday tomorrow night. she hopes it will be the biggest collection of delegates yet. she wrapped up a campaign rally here in virginia a short time ago. she's decided to add minnesota on to her campaign schedule. she'll be going there tomorrow. that's a state bernie sanders has been planting his flag in. the sanders campaign is confident of win something states but a short time ago, he told reporters when asked if he could win any state but vermont, he said, i surely hope so. >> tomorrow is super tuesday. massachusetts is right in the middle of it. and i need your help. >> reporter: hillary clinton is riding a wave, hoping her south carolina landslide becomes an even bigger super tuesday victory lap. >> i will work as hard as i can every single day. i will get up and go to work for you and fight for you. >> reporter: the delegate fight with >> reporter: the delegate fight with bernie sanders will go on, bu

meantime, send you to washington. the lead with jake tapper starts now. >>> thanks, brooke. our long national nightmare is over. leo finally has his oscar. the lead starts now. >>> donald trump blaming his earpiece for refusal to condemn the klan, david duke, and white supremacist groups. they interrupt a trump rally. >>> the biggest day in the campaign, republican officials in washington in desperation mode trying to save the party as they know it. what will it mean to be a republican if super tuesday becomes trump tuesday? >>> plus. >> i made the worst mistake of my life. >> first on cnn, an american college student detained in north korea sobbing as he pleas for mercy. does he look like a spy working for the cia? pyongyang thinks so. >>> welcome to the lead. i am jake tapper. everything is on the line for republicans tomorrow, super tuesday. if the polls are to be believed, this time wednesday we will be talking about donald trump, the presumptive republican presidential nominee. instead of party leaders getting comfortable with the idea, they're in full panic mode becaus

it's right here in washington, d.c. it's right here in seattle, washington, as i said, where i come from. and our sheriff's deputies and police officers have worked with federal agencies over these past few years, especially since 2001, following up hundreds and thousands of leads every day that the public, of course, is not aware of, of possible threats, terrorism threats to our local communities. i've had the opportunity to work with almost every federal agency, law enforcement agency that you can think of since left in 2005 to come here. i had great experiences and not so great experiences and especially relates to the sharing of information and it relates back to the inadequacyy of our training and our -- inadequacy of our training and our ability to connect to the federal agencies to really form a true partnership and a true bond and a true trust. if we can't as federal and local agencies trust each other to share that information -- and i know part of the effort here in the alert act is to build that trust and to

host: mike covers congress for the washington post. he is also worked at the washington city paper. talking about the senate's role in choosing the next member of the supreme court. next up, and ohio, republican -- from ohio, republican. caller: my two questions are, people who don't know our history are doomed to repeat the same problems. in five words or less, why is the liberty bell called liberty bell? two, and the constitution, what is the only form of government guaranteed and why do you keep calling us a democracy since it is never mentioned? i would like to hang on. host: why don't you reference a specific question to the supreme court? caller: if he doesn't know the basic history of our country, his bias will be and. how he reports what congress can do. that he does not know how our founders out of this country, he does not know as -- how to ask the questions and if he does not know what a 10-year-old would of known 100 years ago, why should i believe anything he says? host: i'm aware of the distinction between direct democracy and republican democracy. i'm interested to he

i think there is a lot of hand ringing in washington. the reality is much of washington brought this on. people are very mad at the leadership. i think in both parties frankly. but trump has had the benefit of having such a crowded field, it's disburpersed a lot of the i think the angryist voices have gone towards him. as long as his field stays as large as it is, that i a benefit to trump. >> washington is a little irked some people aren't dropping to perhaps coalesce behind one. alex, to you, sir, great piece with maggie and jonathan in "the times." in your reporting, you mention senate majority leader mitch mcconnell laying out the plan that would have lawmakers break with trump in a general election? tell me about that. >> what they're envisioning now is a scenario where they're struck with trump and it becomes very clear maybe even before the convention in july that he's a nonstarter and he's going to lose badly. what that means is you have a number of vulnerable republican senators up for re-election who suddenly have to choose do

our senior washington correspondent joe johns is live in minneapolis where bernie sanders is scheduled to hold a campaign rally in a little more than one hour. they are also very, very enthusiastic, joe. >> i think so, very enthusiastic. and we're seeing people stream in right now. still got an hour and a half ago. a lot of these people sort of tipify the bernie sanders team across the country, younger, appearing to be students and what have you. but, look, hillary clinton is in some ways in the driver's seat right now and her campaign is trying to appear as if they're not confident, they're not overconfident. they're trying to be cautious and at the same time they're trying to pose themselves as the campaign that is going to win the nomination, the democratic nomination for president. hillary clinton is also talking more about donald trump. and that's a little bit of trying to appear like a general election nominee. but i have to tell you, bernie sanders has been talking about donald trump as well on the campaign trail of late. and it's not just a reflection of who thinks they're in t

i want you to run those programs, not me, not washington. [applause] when i say we are going to take 104 federal education programs, and send them to the states people go crazy. , you think this is dependent on sending those programs that here? i want to help you. you want to fix education and run to the school board, you want to talk to the school board members doing their job. kids need skills to be able to compete in the 21st century. stop waiting for somebody to come riding in here on a white charger and start fixing things where we live. that is america. [applause] right here. >> you are way too modest. gov. kasich: i have never been accused of that. [laughter] >> i have followed your career. my family is from johnstown, pennsylvania. gov. kasich: that is a shot and a beer town. do you know what that means? >> i went to a place like you did called ohio state. i can name everybody ran against. -- eu ran against. you were in my district. this man does what he says he does. there are no stories, i know the people that have built your house

the government, if it has power, it belongs at the state level, not at washington d.c. you will have a president that believes in free enterprise, not because i inherited money or i'm wealthy but because my dad was a bartender and my mother was a maid, and the reason why they had jobs is because free enterprise works. free enterprise is the only economic model in the history of the world where you're judged on your merit and work, not on your connections, not on your last name. it is the only economic model in the history of the world where you can make poor people richer and you don't have to make rich people poorer, where you can lift everybody up and not tear anyone down. and that's why as a candidate i have offered serious ideas and serious proposals. unlike donald trump, who won't tell you where he stands on the issues, because he doesn't care where he stands on the issues. to him, we'll figure it out when we get there. we can't elect the dog that caught the car. get it? think about it. the dog is always barking at the car. what are you going to do when you catch t

washington journal continues. ♪ >> this is the hardest problem i have seen in government, because it implicates america's gifted innovation, privacy, it implicates the rule of law and public safety. we have to talk about it and understand how to we optimize these things we care about? privacy and safety, how do we do that and it is not easy. communicators,he general counsel for the fbi agent association and vice president for policy at the center for democracy and technology will discuss the conflict between fbi and apple, over whether the fbi -- will grapple. the fbi given to the phone of one of the san bernardino terrorist and what this could mean for communication and law enforcement in the digital age. they are joined by a cyber security reporter. >> the tool is a device that was designed to be impenetrable. it threatens the way that our search and seizure laws were designed to operate where reasonable searches under a lawful warrant can obtain access to evidence, so we do view it as a real threat to the ful

these are washington insiders. and i don't really hang around with them. they are not comfortable with me. people say there are a lot of voters that would vote for trump or for me. why is that? they know i don't take orders from the establishment. those people, the big lobbiests i beat them 25 years ago and they resent it. it's great. they can have their opinions. i'm not even aggravated by it, but it means nothing to me. they are not out here. they are not in the arena. take a deep breath. >> what are you expecting to happen tomorrow on super tuesday? >> i think trump will probably win everything. maybe cruz will win in texas and then has to figure out how to head north with his message. we'll do okay but not great. this was never our plan. we have a campaign plan and then we campaign our plan. our hope now is that our belief is that we go north and you will begin to see things change. >> governor john kasich, we appreciate you being on new day. thanks so much. >> thank you. >>> the good stuff. that's next. stick around. you premium like clockwork. month

thomas: that is a criticism around washington. we don't do anything that doesn't benefit our members. and of course the organizations that support us would not do so if they did not think that our mission was going to be moved forward. over time, it is been about 80% individual support and 20% from corporations and associations. the vast majority of our support comes from individual taxpayers. why would we not want to fight against internet access taxes? there are companies that might benefit. we know exactly what we should be doing. brian: do you ever get tired? thomas: no. i spent six years on capitol hill with senator fischer as i mentioned. i love going in there every day. we really tried to get things done that benefit the taxpayers. brian: here is one that goes way back to the senators golden fleece award. the federal aviation administration was named for spending $57,000 for a study of physical measurements for 432 airline stewardesses paying special attention to the length of the buttocks and how their knees were arranged

little marco rubio is another washington politician that is all talk and no action. and the florida senator hit back making fun of trump's unusual tan and says what is trump's small hands. >> he doesn't sweat because his hands are clogged from the spray tan he uses. donald is not going to make america great. he's going to make america orange. he is always calling me little marco. he is 6'2", which is why i don't understand why his hands are the size of someone who is 5'2". you know what they say about men with small hands. you can't trust them. you can't trust them. >> and new signs of republican panic in washington overnight. what might be called a disendorsement from senator ben sass. in a lengthy facebook post, he writes if trump wins the nomination, he will not vote for him. >> he is hugely popular. he campaigned all over iowa against trump. now he says he is in the never trump camp. he will not vote for trump if he is the nominee. interesting to see that. interesting to see how the party responds. >>> hillary clinton is campaigning fresh off her huge victory ove

there's gridlock in washington. we don't have a budget. the government is going to close down, quer is going to come in. i don't think it's fair to people. they're trying to plan their future and they say is this an institution i can plan a future with? we have an all-volunteer force. we need to have them see a future with us. finally i look at what it looks like around the world. our friends and foes who say can't you get it together and have a budget for the long run? so it is very deal tier yuss. that's why i'm very grateful to you on this committee among others for coming together this year and putting together a bipartisan budget agreement that's the basis on which we submitted our budget and the stability provided to us is incredibly important. and chairman you may want to add on stability. >> the one thing i would say, as i look at the last several years we've kind of lived year to year. i would echo the secretary's comments. i'm confident that we can meet our obligations today. i'm equally confident that the procurement that i allu

kerrie washington just walked by looking amazing. can we talk about eddie. i thought he might show up in something a little more edgy. >> he usually wears wild clothes, he's a fashion guy. but he's wearing a beautiful standard classic alexander mcqueen tuxedo. because tonight is not the night for the gentleman to go crazy. you do that at the globes, you do it as other events, but tonight keep it classy. >> rooney mara, what did you think? >> rooney mara was stunning, wearing givenchy, a goth victoriana flair, keeping to her personality. very severe hair and makeup. it was so romantic. it reminded me a lot of the costumes in beyonce's videos. >> you have hot sauce in your purse? i now you were going to get beyonce into this. and last, but not least, brie larsen. nominated for "room." >> she's wearing custom gucci. heavy studded belt. a departure from what gucci has been doing, it's a little more off-the-wall. >> if i could pick a theme there isn't a theme for tonight. >> for tonight? >> yeah. >> absolutely not. it's all over the place. >> we've seen romantic.

i look at what goes on in washington. these guys could care less about me. we talk about young people having never participated in the political process. what our job is to revitalize american democracy. to have one of the highest voter turnouts on earth, rather than one of the lowest. >> brnz bernie sanders there saying that he is moving in to super tuesday with momentum, despite the fact that he lost. he was smashed by hillary clinton, his competitor in south carolina. you heard hillary clinton in her concession speech last night saying, kind of in response to donald trump as we have been talking about the whole back and forth involving the kkk saying america is great. what she wants to do is make america whole. governor john kasich almost repeating a similar refrain. now talking to supporters in massachusetts saying there is no time for hate. let's listen in. >> i guess every day i wake up there is another crazy thing happening in this campaign. apparently today, i don't understand it but donald trump refused to disaassociate himself and condemn white sup

republicans in washington, d.c. are starting to tell republican senators that they don't have to go to the convention if they are the nominee. they should think of running against you if you are the nominee. that combined with marco rubio doing the never trump hashtag. do you think republicans are violating the pledge? >> totally. if they want to play the game i can play it better than they k. and i have more people than they do. doing that is a total violation of the pledge, yes. >> how do you see this possible hypocrisy of the pledge? >> i think republicans are headed for a split whether trump is the nominee or not. this has gone so deep for so long. if trump is the nominee, there's no way on god's green earth that many rank and file republicans can vote for him or go to the convention or do the things they normally document if he's not the nominee, a lot of the voters will be so angry they will sit out the election. the republican party has a big, fat problem. >> already. brian, real quick. >> i was going to say,

it's not just making washington look dysfunctional. it actually hurts the ability for the federal government to be more effective and efficient with tax dollars. look at the department of defense. if you have a continuing resolution instead of an actual d.o.d. appropriations bill signed into law, then they can actually do planning. you know, companies plan years in advance. a government agency should actually be laying out plans as well about how to best use taxpayer dollars. but if they don't know what their budget's going to look like until literally the day before it's about to take effect, it's real hard for them to do planning and a lot of times what they do is suspend contracts and then they have to start that contract back up again, even though they know that ultimately something's going to get worked out. they can't do long-term planning. and it costs even more money. to do the same thing, so it does lead to a less efficient government, to not have a functioning appropriations process. it's why we want passionately for this to

we don't want washington to be the place where people come for a bailout. this is not -- you know, we're not going to give somebody a bailout. we have our own problems we have to address. so states and territories have to address their problems and if they want to put better solutions on the table, this is the time to do it. billy: financial control board or some sort of oversight board, that would -- why would that be taking so long to approve? mr. scalise: again, the committees of jurisdiction are working on this right now. they're having hearings. they're meeting right now. not only with the members but with people from puerto rico, with people from other places that have similar interests that puerto rico has. let's figure out if there's a way we can do something that we can get agreement on that solves the problem. right now we don't have a final solution. billy: another topic. has leadership pulled the plug on a long-term f.a.a. bill? mr. scalise: no, the bill just came out of committee. obviously there were a lot of disagreements within committee tha

meetings -- it was one of those yesterday, dozens had good ideas on how to restore the balance of power in washington so that government works for people again, which it doesn't right now. he has really laid out the foundation for how it could function properly with all members involved. it's not top-down very few people in the leadership are making decisions. it means that the members have to come up with these ideas. i always use that jack kemp example. ronald reagan ran on tax reform. he actually had a bold agenda on tax reform. but it was not his idea. when he was fighting through the primaries, he wanted to lower tax rates, but for years jack kemp put together a year to lower tax rates. they were at 70%. ultimately after a few years of working he came up with the kemp law plan that lowered rates from 70 to 50. when ronald reagan got the nomination he said -- i want a low rate and i like the plan by jack can't. he actually adopts the plan to become his own and one year later it got signed into law. look, if you have got a good idea, if you have got a passion and a way to get the country moving ag

i would also argue that he has one of the tougher jobs in washington today, listening and taking into account the views of those in his conference and getting them to follow him. on a personal level user a focus on energy and national security issues. a couple of weeks ago he had the republican national security address. as someone who spent my whole life in the tech industry working with programmers, he is actually a former computer scientist and says -- systems engineer. he for a hand is over to our congressional correspondent and moderator, just a couple of quick housekeeping items. q&at, we will have time for at the end. microphones will be passed away the end -- passed around at the end. second, if you are joining us on #itter today, please use our up on the middle panel. last but not least, as i mentioned earlier, this is a series of events here that we host that bloomberg government and clients are always welcome to be invited, but if you are not a customer and are welcome in joining -- interested in joining us in the future, meet with us afterwards and we will follow-up with y

well, washington, d.c., may start doing just that. after murders in the nation's capital went up 54% last year, the city council recently voted for a crime bill that includes a provision to give money to those who are most likely to commit acts of violence. >> all those in favor of the amendment in the nature of a substitute, say aye. >> 200 people per year could receive payments in conjunction with mentorship and therapy. criticism of the proposal has been witherring, as you might imagine, and the bill is not certain to go through, but here is a really crazy part. another city has run a similar program for several years paying out tens of thousands of dollars, and it appears to be working. in 2007 the bay area city of richmond, california, was the ninth most dangerous city in the united states. things were so bad, the city officials thought about asking the national guard to be sent in. instead, they created the office of neighborhood safety, a new department, separate from law enforcement, that would focus on reaching out to the com

they are fed up with washington. it is a change election. it is send a message to washington. we're sitting here with $19 trillion worth of debt. we haven't had a balanced budget in 15 years. we have people who are struggling, absolutely struggling -- >> would you like some water? >> she's preaching this sunday morning. >> i know! let me tell you, they're sick of the southern border not being secured. and they want to see some action. and so they're sending a message, and god bless the american people for standing up and saying, we're going to get this country back on the right track. >> here's the thing. you cannot beat donald trump playing defense. you can't say i'm here to defend. you have to play offense. you have to say i want to extend what the last president did. that's why bernie is actually drawing people to him and building a movement. your state's a great state. but you also know that no one else gets to camp out for a year in any state. what we're seeing right now in places like chicago, places like detroit, places like flint, we'll both be there next week, is ther

that this is an accurate understanding of what the biden rules mean, look no further than a lengthy "washington post" article one week later. in that interview, he made his views quite clear. he said -- quote -- "if someone steps down, i would highly recommend the president not name someone, not send a name up." end of quote. and if the president does send someone up -- quote -- "if the president did send someone up, i would ask the senate to seriously consider not having a hearing on that nominee." end of quote. specifically, my friend, chairman biden, said -- quote -- "can you imagine dropping a nominee after the three or four or five decisions that are about to be made by the supreme court into that fight, into that caldron in the middle of a elec" end of quote. chairman biden went on -- quote -- "i believe there would be no bound of propriety that would be honored by either side, environment within which such a hearing would be held would be so super charged and so prone to be able to be distorted." end of quote. at the end of the day, mr. president, the text oan bidt is very clear. so in 2

kathleen parker from "the washington post", jim warren from pointer, and molly hemingway, senior editor at the federalist. kathleen, is rubio trying to portray trump as a loser, something other candidates up until now have been maybe afraid to do? >> well, absolutely. and i'm delighted that e seems to have taken my advice because i wrote a column to that effect, but anyway, yes, basically what he's doing i think is going after trump. he's taunting him because the one thing a bully can't stand is to be taunted, and he's trying to get under trump's skin i think at a deeper level than anyone else has bothered to do previously and why not? trump has been throwing it at him pretty fiercely. he's returning the volley but he's also having a little bit of fun i think. it's a liberation moment for marco rubio who has been accused of being so robotic previously. it seems to be working too. trump cannot stand it and we'll see where it goes. we'll look forward to everyone getting back to being a little more presidential however. >> you think that will actually happen? >> will that actually happen?

. >> i want to ask you about that because republicans in washington, d.c., are starting to tell republican senators that they don't have to go to the convention if you're the nominee, that they should think about running against you if you're the nominee. that combined with marco rubio doing the #nevertrump, do you think republicans are violating the pledge? >> totally. totally. if they want to play that game, i can play it much better than they can, and i have a lot more people than they do. totally. if they're doing that, that's a total violation of the pledge, yes. >> yesterday marco rubio and ted cruz released summaries of their tax returns. you have yet to do so. rubio and cruz have been saying that you're trying to hide something. cruz yesterday also going on this little tirade saying that maybe the returns show that you're not as rich as you say you are or that you gave money to planned parenthood or you pay very low tax rates. can you deny that those charges are true, and when will we see your taxes? >> well, number one, i fully disclosed my financials. and i put them in actually r

the fascinating governor of maine was at the governors meeting here in washington earlier this month and he was very fired up about the fact that something must be done. we have to take on donald trump. this is going to be terrible for our party. well, he's a big chris christie guy. when christie got on board late last week, lepage followed suit. there's no more revealing in the party than those ten days where paul lepage goes from that. they have been sounding the alarm for months about this, who have been pleading. yeah, jeb bush. >> walker. >> pleading with folks to raise money to try to go after trump to create some kind of a sustained organized campaign against him. it fell on deaf ears time and time and time again. and now you've got the spector of the senate gop considering not just separating themselves from trump but actively running ads against him to provide space for their own candidates who are going to be on the ballot this fall. mitch mcconnell is a very wily old pro is apparently determined to do whatever it takes to hold the majority. and that includes possibly runni

and i understand the anger towards washington. but that anger should be directed at the obama administration. their willingness to ignore the law. to do whatever they want by fiat. that is really where this fight needs to go is against the obama dmings. and if we nominate donald trump we are effectively continuing the obama administration in the face of hillary clinton. >> victor, let me come back to you. and of course there's been this call for donald trump to release his taxes. e heard that from ted cruz. but we heard something else. let's play that sound bite from yesterday from ted cruz. >> you know in the civil war you couldn't fight for the south and the north at the same time. it didn't work that way. they didn't make a musket with a barrel on both ends. page side. >> so ted cruz invoking the imagery of the civil war right in the deep south. to make a political point of course that brings up a the meerd of the painful and associations for people. >> i don't think he was doing it in that context at all. i think he was just s

system move, not so much out of the gulf of alaska, but they're more aimed across british columbia, washington, and into oregon. less so if california where they have seen such extreme drought over the last few years. and temperatures in the central united states were exceptionally warm. we'll show you the record high temperatures. mostly in the 20s. there you see in aberdeen, south dakota, you go back to 1895. that was a record, back in 1895. the temperature for saturday afternoon was 20 degrees. there we see mid 20s, north platte, nebraska. these temperatures are good ten degrees or so above where they should be for this time of year. it isn't just the west coast of the united states that is feeling the impact of a strong storm system where snow levels are lowering and gusty winds and heavy rainfall. same can be said across the western and the north central mediterranean where you see the brighter colors. that's where the higher cloud tops are. that's where the heavier rain is going to be. and don't be surprised if you see a couple of thunderstorms just erupt across the west coast of italy,

what is missing in washington is the political will. democrats don't want to do it and far too many republicans don't want to do it. donald trump has made illegal immigration the core of his campaign. there is more than a little chutzpah in that, given that donald trump, his record on illegal immigration is terrible. donald trump had a $1 million court judgment against him for being part of a conspiracy to hire illegal aliens to build his hotel. mira lago resort in florida, which trombones, it was reported yesterday, brings in hundreds of foreign workers and by and large won't hire americans. there was a striking interview on cnn last night. donald was saying, the reason i bring in foreign workers -- no americans want to be waiters are waitresses or bellhops. what complete nonsense. >> i saw that and i was stunned that he said that. senator cruz: "the new york times" reported that of the 300 americans who applied for those jobs, donald hired 17. go to a tgi friday's. you're telling me no americans want to be waiters? you don't think peo

i want you to run those programs, not me, not washington. when i say we are going to take 100 for federal education programs, people go crazy. you think this is dependent on your schools? you want to fix education and run to the school board, you want to talk to the school board members doing their job. the skills they need to be able to compete in the 21st century. there are no stories, i know the people that have built your house, where they live, and -- gov. kasich: they should have made the kids bathroom bigger. [laughter] >> the underlying tone on a lot of these issues is the socialistic attitude is starting to exist in this country. but nobody has personal rights anymore, it is everybody's rights. everybody is not everybody. we have our own personal issues. but the socialistic movement scares me. we have two socialists running on the other side of the aisle. one of them has come out and admitted he is. what can we do about this as republicans? gov. kasich: good, and this is it because i have to go. i think we should start with free ben
