the washington cartel if you're senator cruz and that's the phrase you use. i saw a positive vision, i think hillary clinton, she needs to put forward that two-word message or three-word message that voters can grab on it. i think that's where it's lost upon voters. the first republican to achieve this, she deserves accommodation for that. first democrat female president. yes, she deserves absolute credit, but she needs to put forward a positive vision. voters don't know what it's about. >> that's right. and i predict the two words you'll hear, stronger together. she's been assaying that the last few days, and it's an implicit contrast than donald trump. we're stronger together. and the way we include more people. the way we become stronger is having more allies overseas. we're stronger together. that's a very distinct and different vision than donald trump's. and when you're in the business of addition, going from 10 or it 13 million voters, trying to get 65 or 70 million voters. i think this argument about inclusiveness and how we're stronger, richer, freer

clinton and trump have high negatives but the new "the washington post" poll even though they have equal high negatives when adults were asked who is more qualified, clinton scores higher than trump on the qualification issue. you can tell that's the point she was trying to emphasize. listen to her donald trump wants to be president, he has to be more careful about what he says. >> so when you say we're going to bar all muslims, you are sending a message to the muslim world and also sending a message to the terrorists because we now do have evidence, we have seen how donald trump is being used to essentially be a recruiter for more people to join the cause of terrorism. >> she says i'm experienced. i know how to be calm in these moments. he says you were secretary of state, benghazi happened, in his view she lied to the families, you were secretary of state, look around the world, things aren't a hell of a lot better. he makes the argument a lot argue things are worse, experience versus -- >> well the other thing that was more surprising from her was calling it likely terrorism. you almo

you have the people speaking up to say they don't want washington to pick their candidates. they want a say. on the democratic side, bernie sanders has shown the people matter and the people can speak up and change the democratic establishment. hopefully that change is going forward and republicans elect someone sane. >> marco rubio won expectations. big win for ted cruz. can he keep that momentum in new hampshire? i'm not sure. hillary clinton may have won, but it would have been groundhog day all over for her in iowa although she won a tiny bit. donald trump is a loser today. >> maria. >> hillary clinton wins becoming the first woman to ever win an iowa caucus. bernie sanders did great. also a win. the democratic party wins. they are focusing on the issues that all americans care about. compared to republicans who will nominate somebody who is anti-woman or anti-latino. >> all right. ben. go. >> i'll say this. donald trump proves arrogance and cockiness does not win you the white house. ted cruz did better than anyone thought. marco rubio is a guy that has a little mo comi

washington, alaska and hawaii and he won them big. he won five of the six with senator clinton winning in arizona. over the course of the week senator sanders shaved more than 90 delegates off the lead shaving more than 70 of those delegates off just yesterday. hillary clinton says the math is still in her favor and it is and momentum as we head to wisconsin and what senator sanders is saying and even hillary clinton right now, well, she should be feeling the burn. >> this is what momentum is. we have been beating donald trump by double digits. the last cnn poll had hillary clinton doing quite well. she was beating trump by 12 points. we were beating him by 20 points. >> was it just a big day or is it a big day? he is bolder and more aggressive. thinks he has a chance. >> on the one hand it's more than a big day. it's a big week for bernie sanders because he also won two of three contest earlier in the week so he nets about 90 delegates for the whole week. that closes the gap quite a bit. on the other hand these contests could not hav

you know, we won a great victory in the state of washington a few months ago. we just want oregon -- [ applause ] and we're going to win california. i am beginning to like the west coast. this campaign, when we talk about equitable wages, it is not just as you know raising the minimum wage to a living wage, it is also ending the disgrace of women making 79 cents on the dollar. and together i know that every man here will stand with the women in the fight for pay equity. [ applause ] i am a member of the u.s. senate committee on the environment. and i will tell you what all of our know and that is that climate change is real. it is caused by human activity, and as everybody in california knows it is already causing devastating problems. >> listening to senator sanders speaking in california this evening. let's get some quick takes from the panel. david axelrod. >> well, i wouldn't say the planes coming in for a landing here. >> right. >> if anything, i think he intensified his rhetoric and he said flat out to beat donald trump, we first have to beat secretary cl

they're there in washington where donald trump will be speaking in a few moments. he's introducing donald trump, as we understand and when you listen to hillary clinton there, what else does she need to sew up in terms of getting the democratic party behind her? at this point, it's bernie sanders, bernie sanders, bernie sanders. she met with elizabeth warren this morning. got the president's endorsement earlier this week. >> absolutely. said it's about the progressives but also about young women. that's one of the things that's striking. how many millennial women really supported bernie sanders and as i listened to her speech, she was talking about all the difficulty that women of her generation had to go through in the ways of which planned parenthood helped them at a time when abortion was not illegal and the ways this which abortion was under threat today. i think she was really trying to speak to a younger generation as well and thread it all together, stitch it together. >> david, i think we figured out how hillary clinton is going to approach this general ele

brewer i'm going to start with you two major national polls came out today showing a dead heat the washington post shows -- are you feeling optimistic about november? >> i'm feeling very optimistic about november. i think mr. trump will be our next president of the united states. he has wind beneath his wings. our party is coming together, we are uniting and move on to november and win. >> to you governor holeem. hillary clinton is 44% and in march it was trump with 41%. do you think this is a snapshot of a moment in time or a red flag. >> no, the math is very simple on this on the republican side they have one candidate, on the is democratic side there's one. once the democratic party decide an makes it official then they will all come together and be united. this is really a question of timing when this poll was taken. >> okay. governor, in this year's election there's never been anything like it. if clinton is the democratic nominee running against donald trump there have never been two candidates more disliked. for donald trump 41% favorable, 51 percent unfavorable hillary clinton. give m

post" a high class tabloid is what i consider "the washington post." it's an insult to say these women do not have viable claims. they have detailed accounts of thien things that happened to them. >> i heard you say that earlier. let me say this to you. i think you're right, all victims of sexual abuse or at least accusers should have a voice. but these women had their voice in the '90s. i remember sitting there when i was old enough with my parents and my family had going how much longer do we have to listen to this? we've heard from these women. we feel awful for them but they have had their day have they not. >> it's relevant again because hillary clinton's running for president. a lot of people actually not everybody does remember the '90s. the accusation is that it's hip okaysy for hillary to attack donald trump for what he said about women when she was enabling bill clinton and going after and engaging in character assassination against the victims. >> i was there in the '90s with hillary clinton. she was the one who was lied to. she was betrayed

when the washington lobbyists settled on other lobbyists in this race. when the media in one voice said a conservative cannot win, nationwide over 800,000 contributions poured in to tedcruz.org as courageous conservatives said, yes, we can. 800,000 contributions at tedcruz.org with an average contribution of $67. that is the power of the grassroots. but it's more than that. it's 12,000 volunteers here in the state of iowa. it's over 200,000 volunteers all across this great nation. you know, during the course of this campaign people have asked heidi and me are you tired? and i will admit it is 16, 18 hours a day, 6, 7 days a week. we are not tired at all. ♪ >> to the contrary, we are inspehred by each and every one of you. i leap out of bed every morning amazed that at a time when our country is in crisis, every one of us has the opportunity to stand and lead, that we have been put in a place of leadership. for such a time as this. >> all right, we're going to breakaway from ted cruz. there you see, hillary clinton and her husband and daughter. she's ab

. >> hello, i'm jake tapper in washington defendant c. where the state of our union is taxed overnight. publishing a copy of donald trump's 1995 tax return revealing a $916 million loss from failed business projects. it would allow him to use those losses to offset taxes on new income for as long as 18 years so did donald trump pay any federal income taxes. mr. trump is a highly skilled business man that as a responsibility to his business, his family and his employees to pay no more tax than legally required. that being said mr. trump has paid hundreds of millions of dollars in property taxes, sales taxes, state taxes, employee taxes and federal taxes. that statement does not mention paying income taxes or dispute the authenticity of the times obtained documents but they do say it was illegally obtained. joining me now is bernie sanders that is a supporter of hillary clinton. good to see you as always. let me get reaction to this news about donald trump and not paying federal income taxes. some supporters would argue why should he pay an

clinton like when she was in up state new york and allegedly said torg the ronald kessler dorgt the washington post and the wall street journal. so if we want to get into third party hearsay. we can do that. >> i'm sure that people say bad things about people. i think that that might miss the point though. the point is that donald trump has tremendous problems with a section of women. and i don't think he did himself any favors today by doubling down and tripling down on this stat shaming this weight issue stuff. and i don't think the it shows. it is one thing to be not disciplined, preparing for the biggest debate in the history of humanity and no have no strategy. it is something else to realize you fell on your face and get up in the morning and say i want do more of that. it doesn't make sense. >> the one thing i want to talk about is what jeff mentioned in terms of dem graphics. he mentioned hillary clinton needing to do much better with the young voters. and we talked thbt a week ago here. struck me from -- she never mentioned bernie sanders in the debate last night. and there were two o

white people, but we have all people of all races and demographics saying, something is not working in washington and i don't know what it is, but something has to change, and that is the challenge of the republicans to keep those people without that rhetoric. >> i have not ever seen a president who gets elects to fear, and playing to hope is a tter option, and usually often more successful. and so, that is the question that i have about donald trump, which is if he is the nominee of the republican party, where is the hope part? >> ryan? >> i thought that andrew's essay is excellent and you should read it, but i disagree about how resilient our democracy is in the face of someone like trump, and you can win 40% of the primary vote and maybe capture a party's nomination, but the argument that you laid out against trump, that argument has been made with a sustained campaign yet, because frankly, republicans haven't been able to do what chairman rogers just said, how do you capture the wind of the voters that trump is appealing to with the nonxenophobic view, but in the general election, he is going

can portray her as a typical politician, someone who you detest in a year when the electorate hates washington, certainly that's going to work to his advantage. the inspector general report is not done. the investigation is still ongoing. there will be presumably more developments. the issue is going to hound her until election day. >> this is part of why you see her right now pivoting away from the woman stuff. by all accounts, she should have been able to run as a grandmother this year, everybody trusts grandmothers, everybody loves grandmothers, she wants to do the best for her grandchild. but if you're a woman and everyone still thinks you're untrustworthy, that's not working for you, and you have to turn that in a different direction, you have to go after him about not only his trustworthiness about his readiness. >> absolutely right. she says he's a loose cannon, a bully, unpredictable. and to your point, maybe you don't trust me, but don't trust him more. >> so my question is really simple. if you have paid federal income tax, show us. some people say he doesn't want to show us because

"the washington post" join mess now. you want you to respond. he's been the subject of media coverage describing a cozy relationship with donald trump. he's been dismissing those criticisms. let's look at what he said about you on his show. >> "washington post" actually after our town hall meeting the other night when i eperred him with so many questions that i was attacked for interrupting too much actually said how dare they hold a town hall meeting where they don't ask him tough questions. e we asked tougher questions than our ket. tors ask who have the media writers and people have the audacity to ask if we're too close to donald trump. the answer is, no, we're not. >> he says he's been tough. you said he let him skate. >> i think that there is one of these it great situations where both sides can claim, look at this question, look at at that question. my point here is sort of a larger one. that is if you allow donald trump -- if youen gauge him only on social security, iraq, the issues and how he's going to unite the republican party, you'r

. >> we are going to fight hard to win the primary in washington, dc. >> tonight, we close one chapter in history and we begin another. >> the end of the primaries is only the beginning. we are stronger together. let's go out and make that case to america. thank you. >> hello, i'm wolf blitzer. 6:00 p.m. in london. wherever you're watching from around the world, thanks very much for joining us. the historic stage is now set. hillary clinton, the first woman to be the presumptive nominee and donald trump, facing off for the biggest job in the world. the two took victory laps as the final major night of primaries wrapped up. >> not about one person. it belongs to generations of women and men who struggled and sacrificed and made this moment possible. there are still ceilings to break for women and men for all of us, but don't let anyone tell you that great things can't happen in america. barriers can come down. justice and equality can win. our history has moved in that direction, slowly at times, but unmistakably, thanks to generations of americans who refuse to give up or back down. no

up' not going to be a traditional candidate, not going to follow the rules you people in washington want me to follow or republican party. i'm not going to do it. another issue was trump university, some documents released the new york state attorney general says it's fraud, some of the documents trying to suggest people were scammed and an issue that hillary clinton thinks in addition to her comments about coalitions and voting groups she thinks can say he's a great businessman, instead he's a scam. >> this is just more evidence that donald trump himself is a fraud. he is trying to scam america the way he scammed all those people at trump u. >> if nothing else, we've learned unlike the republican primary campaign she is going to do this every single day. >> yes, and somewhere marco rubio is saying why did not that he work for me? the question is going to be these are the attacks that have been waged on a piesmeal basis during the primary campaign. now there's going to be a fuller frontal assault for months, does it stick and define donald trump going forward which it hasn't so far. >> t

tom foreman, cnn, washington. >> thanks. back now with our panel. joining the conversation. cnn david gergen, and regional vice chair, a donald trump surrogate. i want to start with you. you get on this issue of trust and this issue of truth. we talk about the e-mail and what director comey discussed yesterday. hillary clinton said she never the sent or received the e-mails. she said she never sent or received any e-mails marked classified. that's not the case. hillary clinton said she turned over all of her e-mails. the fbi director said that's not the case. this gets to the issue of trust. this gets to the issue of leveling with the american people. do you see how that is a problem for her and why she would need to address it more? >> a couple things. on the e-mails in question, i think the campaign has been cheer. they have not seen, and i don't know if they have yet, the e-mail that the director is referencing. so we can't really speak to what their response is on that. the facts from their perspective, sense they have not yet seen the e-mails. not that they should have

that is his challenge here to come into this room and say washington is broken. i can create more jobs. i can keep you safer. she's a part of the status quo, the republicans understand what they need to do for four days. the question is can they pull it o off? >> if trump stays on script and if the pros who are running the convention and the party and his campaign, can create a coherent message, they should be able to get a balance out of this. >> i think part of the reason why the vp rollout was a lost opportunity was because they should have been a ten-day, two-week good message opportunity for republicans. they can still make up for it by having a good week here, and i think there's no reason to think they should -- can he stay on the prompter? that's the question. will he give a speech that's scripted and written for him that will appeal to the broad swath of voters that will be compelling to those who are still undecided at home and if he can and everything else goes off smoothly, i have no doubt they will. >> i think as much as hillary clinton is trying to

we're expected to be joined by hillary clinton, but first the latest from jim acosta who is in washington. take us through what happened today. the original comments from trump and the campaign kind of walking it back. >> reporter: anderson, donald trump adopted a very extreme position on abortion today only to walk it back just hours later. his comments came during an interview with msnbc earlier today when he said women who undergo abortions should be punished if the procedure were ever made illegal. and here's how he put it earlier today. >> should the woman be punished for having an abortion? >> look -- >> this is not something you can dodge. if you say abortion is a crime or abortion is murder, you have to deal with it under the law. should abortion be punished? >> well, people in certain parts of the republican party and conservative republicans would say, yes, they should be punished. >> what about you? >> i would say that it's a very serious problem, and it's a problem we have to decide on. it's very -- >> you are for banning it? >> are you going to say put them in jail? the answe

washington, d.c. washington, d.c. has its primary on tuesday, bernie sanders has long said he wants everyone to have a chance to vote, and in his mind, that doesn't just go to today. it goes to the washington, d.c. primary. that's the only big event that we know of, but he's also in washington, d.c. for meetings. at this point though anderson you bring up a really good point there, it's a promise that he's making to go to the convention, but we're not seeing a whole lot of resources to back up anything really going into the convention and beyond the convention. >> brianna, thanks very much for that. and so that is the question. what would this actually look like in the weeks ahead? if he wants to keep this going through the convention, does he have to keep doing event kps. >> he might, but he might also do it for hillary. remember last time around, diane feinstein, senator feinstein became the peacemaker and she had barack obama and hillary clinton over to her house for a drink. and she left the room,

he's campaigning through tuesday's primary here in washington. he's already dropped his attacks on clinton and he's really kind of upped his jabs at donald trump. despite this long, tough primary season coming to a close, the party really does seem to be uniting behind clinton. nothing seems to bring democrats together quite like bashing donald trump, suzanne. >> you have a lot to cover there, chris. a lot to work with this week. >> a lot to work with. >> all the different events and moving pieces. good to see you as always. >>> police revealing new information. this is about the shooting of christina grimmie. what they're saying about the gunman who opened fire on the singer, cutting her life tragically short. only one network gives you more than just great coverage. it's t-mobile! only t-mobile's lets you stream video and music - for free! and we doubled our lte coverage in the last year. the other guys can't say that! we got you covered. be the you who doesn't cover your moderate to severe plaque psoriasis. be the you who shows up in that dres

let's begin with brianna keilar live in washington. good morning. >> good morning. this race is getting nastier and more contentious. you had first lady michelle obama in new hampshire and sharply denouncing the nominee and donald trump is defending himself. he is lashing out against people in his own party as his poll numbers keep dropping. >> this is a struggle for the survival of our nation. >> reporter: donald trump issuing an apocalyptic call of arms amount allegations of sexual misconduct. >> our campaign represents a true threat. >> reporter: portraying himself as a smear campaign, a conspiracy orchestrated by clinton, the media and the establishment. >> this is crossroads in the history of our civilization. >> reporter: the republican nominee flatly denying the accusations against him. >> these claims are all fabricated. they're pure fiction and they're outright lies. >> reporter: even suggesting that natasha stooynoff, a writer for "people" magazine who said she was attacked by trump in 2005, was not attractive enough. >> look at her, look at her words. you

now, based on the fact that my experience in washington and ohio have been successful, using a formula to get everybody to work together to rise and provide opportunity for everybody, i proposed a 100-day agenda for when i'm president. and i can tell you, be rest assured, we'll enact this and balance the budget and freeze all federal regulations for one year except health and safety and rebuild our rule making system to stop crushing small businesses which kills jobs in our country. we will simplify and reduce the taxes on individuals so all americans can keep more of what they earn and will help our small businesses. we'll reduce taxes on businesses and double taxation so those businesses will invest in america and not have their money trapped and invested in europe. we will send welfare, education, medicaid, infrastructure, and job training back to where we live in the states so the states can be the laboratories of innovation and the laboratories of modelling what works. we'll protect the border and use common sense on immigration reform that will include a guest worker program. and

. >> the chosen candidate of washington, the chosen candidates of big money and the lobbyists are not going to decide the republican nom me. it will be we the people. >> why would i change? >> we will build on a strong progressive tradition, from franklin roosevelt to barack obama. >> winning is shaking up the democratic party. >> with your help, we will come back to philadelphia, for the democratic national convention. >>> we want to welcome our viewers in the united states and around the world. i am wolf blitzer, you are watching live special coverage of the critical eastern conference, a big night for donald trump. winning in pennsylvania, delaware, and rooz rooz. was it xwl close in any of those five states. republicans trying to stop donald trump may be out of time after tonight. clinton is relishing, four more victories, her delegate lead as well. they are want talking about winning the nomination, they are talking about the flat form p a lot going on. go over to jake. >> it has been a phenom al if there is any wrinkle, it is that there is a question about unbound delegates. of

we need to fix a broken washington, d.c. i think a lot of people agree with that. >> my question to you, is he still talking about possible impeachment and talking about possible charges? >> people lost faith in institutions in the country. they lost faith in the corporate america and the media. to have a different direction come to washington, d.c. and change the temperature in the room you need an outsider. donald trump is that outsider. he doesn't come from that world. i also think it is important that he is a lacart with politics. you can't be liberal on gay marriage and then conservative on punishment. he is coming in as a republican against tpp and the war in iraq. i think that the american people are yearning for something like that. >> you are saying we are going to hear a positive in these next 24 hours. he is not going to talk about hillary clinton? >> i think it will be a mixed bag. a little of column a and column b. >> it is impossible for him not to talk about hillary clinton. >> i have never heard donald trump

i'm wolf blitzer in washington. the news continues now right now right here on cnn. >>> wolf, thank you, sir. i'm brooke baldwin. i'll pick it up in the very same spot. the tears still fresh, funerals still going and now the calls for a revolt growing louder. right now an absolutely extraordinary moment unfolding on capitol hill. dozens of members of congress staging a sit-in on the house floor, angry about the gun violence sweeping the nation just ten

we are live here from washington d.c. this week, the new york observer made headlines after endorsing donald trump for president. the reason it's notable is because the newspaper is owned by donald trump's son-in-law. donald trump is the father-in-law of the observer publisher. that is not a reason to endorse him. giving millions of disillusioned americans an opportunity is a reason. a day after the endorsement was published one of the top reporters announced he was resigning. ross, you were the national political reporter there and leaving in two weeks. why did you decide to resign from the observer? >> well, brian, it was a confluence of factors. one factor was the endorsement. i expected our newspaper given our deep pride that we would perhaps remain neutral. i was blind sided by the endorsement. maybe a bigger issue was the fact it was reported that our editor in chief had a roll advising donald trump before he tlifred a speech from the conference last month. >> right. he was looking at the draft of the speech and sai

>> well, i mean, i think for starters, super delegates in a state like washington where every single down of them, are with clinton, even though bernie sanders got over 75% of the vote. that's not the only state like that. massachusetts, we heard from elizabeth warren. there's a few in massachusetts despite almost a tie vote. if bernie sanders had the right number of super delegates he would have somewhere in the neighborhood of 250 more delegates supporting him. i think in part we need to tack about what kind of a party is this as well as what's going to happen in philadelphia this year not only in terms of the nominee but in terms of convincing the american people that this is, in fact, a people's party, not a party of the financial elite. >> you've heard the arguments from the hillary clinton supporters, from the hillary clinton campaign that in all the contests so far she's won basically around 27 or 28 of the contests. he's won 21 of the contests. she has more popular votes than him, almost 300 more pledged votes and 500 more superdelegates. they say it's over. what do you say?

jason, he is the washington post reporter, and his newspaper, fred ryan, the publisher there, put out a statement that they can't wait for him to come home. that leaves just one, he's the only one left we have not heard from his family. so, guys, by the process of elimination, if there were anybody left in iran, we suspect he would be the one because we've heard from either the employers or the families of everyone else. >> all right, chris, quickly, we also got word this morning that secretary kerr have i back in the u.s. there had been some speculation that perhaps he would meet with the americans once they arrived in switzerland. do we know why he decided to come back to the u.s.? >> we have not heard why. we don't know whether it was a scheduling issue or why he had to come back across. we will find out. certainly those americanss will go from switzerland to germany, and then be home and we're also looking for word about what kind of reception they'll get once they're back here in the united states. >> all right, chris fraits for us in washington, thanks so much. and we'll come ba

voters obviously just detest washington. so if he does things as far as a typical politician, someone who says -- he says things that a normal politician won't say, people seem to like that. even if we think this is going to hurt him in a general election, there are folks that are laughing, thinking it's great that he's attacking her. >> people in america process things differently than we do here, that much we know. >>> coming up, new details from a state department report about hillary clinton's e-mails. >>> we'll share some words of tribute from our past three presidents. >> from our biggest cities to smallest towns, citizens have done what had to be done to advance the dream that began on the fourth of july. >> the long lasting tribute is all around us, a country where citizens have the right to worship as they want, to march for what they believe, and to say what they think. >> remember, it is their courage, their unselfishness, their devotion to duty that has sustained this country through all its trials and will susta

"washington post," "new york times," they said, donald trump felt humiliated, he had a terrible time. i said, they are so dishonest. the one thing, the one group that lies more than lyin' ted cruz is the press. the media. they really are bad. they really are dishonest and that's why their poll numbers with people in the public are so low. they are so totally dishonest. >> well, certainly do you feel like that when you don't like what they say. when you do like what the media says you go out of your way to say -- >> i'm a big boy. when i do something that's off i don't mind being criticized but they make things up. they literally make up things that you said. they cut you off in half sentences. so it's a totally different meaning from what you give. >> let me give you a chance to clean up one thing before i go. >> i've gotten used to it but the press is so dishonest especially the political press. like just about -- nothing i've ever seen, can compete with it. it is -- a disgrace. what happened. >> let me give you a chance to clean something up here before you hear the reactions to it.

the governor and i will travel to washington, d.c. to beat -- let me tell youing something, baton rouge is what they are today because of the involvement of our public and citizens and faith-based community all coming together. that's what's been the key here. we've not out of the woods, we've got a ways to go but i think the discussion started with a governor, our legislature and faith-based communities and involvement of the businesses. they've told people to come here to do oorm, don't want to peacefully protest. it's not going to be tolerated here. >> i have lots of loved ones there so please keep them self-. when we come right back, the mother of philando castile tells me what barack obama said today when he called her from air force i. >> baton rouge, america on edge. >> this is not just a black issue, just an hispanic issue. this is a an american issue. >> what happens when race, law and order and guns collide? every day on the american streets. don lemon brings all sides together for "black, white and blue, america 2016," live

"no, save $300 bucks over here." well, esurance was born online, and built to save. that's auto and home insurance for the modern world. esurance, an allstate company. >>> on the eve of the hotly advertised meeting of paul ryan and donald trump, we are now joined by the man who wrote hb -- hbo's "veep" and i am sure that he could not even write this. you were listening to my interview with paul manafort. and he gave me the expectations of the meeting tomorrow and he said some meting of the minds, and what do you think is going to happen? >> well, sooner or later, there is going to be some unity of some sort, because people are starting to fold, and trump is the presumptive nominee, an

in washington. 8:00 p.m. in damascus, syria. wherever you're watching from around the world, thank you very much for joining us. up first, bernie sanders and hillary clinton in a sprint to the finish line. sanders is out on the campaign trail in california this hour ahead of tuesday's primaries holding a news conference in spreckels trying to defeat hillary clinton. and hillary clinton in newark, new jersey primary could give her enough delegates to clinch the nomination but hoping to fend off sanders in california. we're watching both events. we'll keep you updated. hillary clinton is also keeping her eye out on donald trump. she took to twitter to slam him over the trump university lawsuit. she tweeted this. quote, new documents confirm trump university was a scam preyed on families. caution-may cause nausea. and she tweeted this from mitt romney. here's what i .

i want to thank univision, "washington post" and facebook and miami-dade college, the largest college in north america for hosting us here this evening. tonight i am looking forward to the opportunity to discuss how we knock down the barriers that stand in the way of people getting ahead and staying ahead. starting with the economic ones. my focus is on more good paying jobs with rising incomes for families. and how we prevent corporations from taking jobs out of our country by imposing an exit tax, making them pay back any tax breaks they'd gotten. but we also need to be having a positive agenda for manufacturing, for small businesses and entrepreneurs. for more clean energy jobs. and i also look forward to discussing comprehensive immigration reform with a path to citizenship that will be one of my priorities in my first 100 days as president. and i will also be talking about education, every child deserves a good teacher -- >> thank you, signature. >> so thank you for having us, and i look forward to the debate. >> thank you. senator sanders, your opening remarks. >> thank you all

. >> they face a very serious spending crisis as does washington dc by the way. they have faced very significant economic challenges and it is a oversight board that allowed them to get things going in the right direction. puerto rico needs that as well. they have spent significantly more than it as taken in. they would have a debt problem all over again. >> if they will be enough to get the cash trapped island out of trouble, that remains to be seen sarah has more now on what will be a historic senate race. >> democrat versus democrat. no, not these two, but these two. embroiled in a political battle happening for the first time ever in california history. >> i want to come home to the state that i love so much. when barbara boxer stepped down after a quarter century, there was a diluge of candidates to fill her seat. >> u i know that you're some of our stronger supporters. >>. >> and the former republican state party chairman, along with 12 other republicans. not one republican ended up on the november ballot leaving two democrats to duke it out. republican vs.

his representation for passionate advocacy hasn't always made him the most popular person in washington. you know what, that's generally a sign you're doing something right. and throughout this campaign, senator sanders has brought people off the sidelines and into the political process. he has energized and inspired a generation of young people who care deeply about our country and are building a movement that is bigger than one candidate or one campaign. so thank you, thank you, bernie, for your endorsement but more than that thank you for your lifetime of fighting injustice. i am proud to be fighting alongside you because my friends, this is a time for all of us to stand together. these have been difficult days for america. taking on the systemic racism that plagues our country and rebuilding the frayed bonds of trust and respect between law enforcement and the communities they serve will require contributions from all of us. we have to begin by starting to listen to each other. more than that, we then have to come together to do something that will help us fix these problems and hea

he claims not to be a washington insider or outsider, and believes he'll make a great number two despite the fact that sources are telling us that in high school, he got a d in social studies. let's go over to the wall and see how he's pulling right now. jimmy, take a look at this. jimmy, right now, all indications are you are polling at 100%. >> wow. wow, that's great news. [ cheers and applause ] thanks, wolff. >> i want to point out, jimmy, though, that at 100%, you are the only person running for vice president. >> well, let's not split beard hairs here, 100% is 100%. >> jimmy, are you going out on the campaign trail? >> is that jake tapper of cnn? >> it is. >> i'm not going on the trail, i get car sick and busses smell bad. i operate from here in the headquarters in los angeles. >> jimmy, do you think you're making a mockery of the election? >> i think it's too late for anyone to do that. >> and, jimmy told our jake tapper that he's not yet figured out which party he will join, saying he may run with both candidates to maximize his chances. all right. we have so much more straight a

he may be challenged for that number two spot by senator patty murray of washington state. he's not ruled that out if she does challenge him, perhaps he may decide to run for governor instead. >> there's no place at home. >> john earlier this week, telling us about the bus tour that hillary clinton is going to do art campaign. but what's really interesting here is this is going to be hillary on offense. she's going through four city, philly, pittsburgh, youngstown and columbus. the key is how she's going to focus on those rural areas where the reagan democrats are. hillary clinton is going to work on with those and connect that trump is not ready to be commander in chief and not cede that territory to him. >> 200 days, a lot of time on a bus. we won't see donald trump on a bus. >> he is finally with her. after the roll call of votes, at that moment, looking into his eyes, it was clear this is the moment but now i'm told by his advisers he really is, he's going to actively campaign as hard as he can. this is why a clinton loss is now a sanders loss. he has joined in with thi

. >>> hello i'm jake tapper in washington, d.c. where the state of the union is taxed. "new york times" revealed 1995 tax returns revealing $916 million loss from failed business projects. the law would allow him to offset those losses for as long as 18 years. did donald trump pay any federal income taxes? his campaign's response, quote, mr. trump is a highly-skilled businessman who has a fiduciary spotlight to his business, his family and his employees to pay no more tax than legally required. that being said, mr. trump has paid hundreds of millions of dollars in property taxes, state taxes, real estate taxes, city tax, state tax, employee taxes and federal tax. it doesn't dispute the authenticity of the "times" document but said it was illegally obtain. joining me now is form are presidential candidate and former senator of vermont, bernie sanders. senator sanders, let me get your reaction about this news of donald trump and not paying federal income taxes. some trump supporters would argue why should he pay any more taxes than the law requires him to. what do you thi

the politicians and washington establishment, he'll go issue by issue and then he'll get into the all of the other things here that pertain to the clintons. what he's doing is changing the way we look at the world. think of the phrase -- i lived in the northern eastern united states all almost my entire life. what's the phrase we use. we call it the rust belt. why does that have to be so? why doesn't anybody step forward and say why? what's wrong with pennsylvania and why can't they have a different situation? he's asking these kind of questions across the board, and that world view is attracting people and she's going to be forced -- >> he's also giving very simple answers which is we're not going to let that happen. we're going to fix that. we're not going to let people take advantage of us and there is a certain appeal to that kind of simple narrative sentence. now, someone is going to say and i suspect hillary clinton will be one of them, like how? i don't know how long you can get away with don't worry about it, i've got this. >> the idea so that that so many folks in washington

then three more alaska, hawaii, washington state on saturday. bernie sanders if he won all six of those contests 55-45, he would cut hillary clinton's lead, the beginning of the week, 330, the end of the week, 302. somewhere in that ballpark. so he would make up a little ground but not a lot. hillary clinton says i'm so far ahead that even if you have a big week like this, you can't catch me. why don't you tone it down, senator sanders? he says such talk, though, is reckless. >> it would be extraordinarily undemocratic to tell the people in half the states in america, you don't have a right to get involved in the nominating process for the democratic candidate. if you write off or you say to half the states in this country that they should not participate, their response may well be on election day, well, you didn't want us to participate in the primary process. you know, we're not going to come out to the general election. >> but so bernie sanders is essentially saying my supporters, if you ignore us, treat us with disrespect, we won't be there

>> jim acosta in washington. jeff zeleny in ohio. a sense what we'll see over the next few hours on the campaign trail. thank you very much. >>> most of us want to pay as little in taxes as possible. how does a self-proclaimed billionaire possibly avoid paying income taxes almost two decades and how does an allegedly successful businessman lose close to $1 billion in the first place? here to help explain, cnn money correspondent christina alesy. $916 million. h how much do we know how much he lost? >> reporter: his casinos under pressure, made a bad bet, had an airline facing troubles. all potentially losses that could have been reported in that 1995 return that we have. all that said, a billion dollars is a lot of money, and now tax experts that we've spoken to have said, real estate developers have a lot of leeway on what they can classify as a loss. so now tax experts are beginning to question, did he puff up those numbers? are they larger than they should be? and that's going to cause a lot of reporters like me and the rest of th

in 1957 when dedicating the islamic center in washington d.c. president eisenhower said i should like to assure you my islamic friends that under the american constitution and in american hearts this place of worship is just as welcome as any other religion. [ applause ] and perhaps the most pertinent fact, muslim-americans enrich our lives today in every way. they're our neighbors and teachers who inspire our children. doctors who trust us with our health. future doctors like saba. they're scientist who's win nobel prizes. young that create new technology wez use all the time. they're the sports heroes we cheer for. like mohammed ali. one of the americans waving the red, white, and blue will be a fencing champion wearing her hijab in the next olympics. she is here today. stand up. come on. i told her to bring home the gold. not to put any pressure on you. muslim-americans, keep us safe. they're our police and our firefighters. they're in homeland security, in our intelligence community. they serve honorably in our armed forces, meaning they fig

i wonder why he's going to the state of washington? because you know what? republicans don't win it but we're going to win it. that's why i'm here. that's why i'm here. [ applause ] and this love affair began about three months ago when i came up here and we had record crowds, two events, massive, massive crowds. i said why don't the republicans win that state? i think we're going to win washington state. so that's the story. that's why i'm here. that's why i'm here. i don't know if you saw it but poll numbers came in today that are phenomenal. we're leading in florida, we're leading in north carolina. we're leading on a national basis. los angeles times, we're two or three points up. we're doing really well, folks. it's all coming together. when you see crowds like this, people fully understand why. i will tell you. thank you. so we are going to have a great victory for the people, people. remember. for the people. it's going to be a victory for every citizen whose voice has not been heard and that's a lot of people. it will be a win

cnn washington. >> the question is will that work. joining me is david axlerod. these more aggressive highly coordinated attacks from the clinton campaign how effective do you think they will be on a candidate who is reactive as donald trump is? >> it's an interesting question. it's like you're used to preparing to play the new york giants and now you have an alien invader from mars. i think he has been very resistant to these attacks and at the end of the day i don't think the substance of the attacks are what ultimately are going to be problematic for trump, it's the way he reacts to them. what he's proving to be is very reactive and his press conference today proved that. his issue is going to be temperament. so by provoking him with these attacks they may achieve something larger than the attack themselves. >> explain that. so you mean go after him on his temperament or try to provoke something. >> i think his temperament is exposing itself. i said a long time ago, i think presidential campaigns are mris for the soul. the pressure increases the higher you go

many of those members deployed from washington, d.c. and two investigators happened to be in texas at the time and they are on route to the scene. the faa is investigating. they're sending people to the scene as well. this happened just before 8:00, about 7:40 a.m. local time. the sheriff's office has said they were responding to calls for a possible vehicle accident on this road that you see here in this photograph and it turns out when they made it to the scene they realized it was actually a hot air balloon basket that was on fire. it's unclear if it was on the road or in the pasture near the road but when they got to the scene that is what law enforcement found. they found a large hot air balloon basket on fire in this area. they now say they do not believe that there are any survivors, at least 16 people may have perished in this crash according to the faa. i want to give you a little context here. it seems like a lot of people and a lot of people -- a large hot air balloon. this is a very popular tourist and sporting activity, hot

in washington. wherever you are watching from around the world thanks for joining us. >> this is cnn breaking news. >> we start with breaking news on the meeting between president obama and senator bernie sanders has just wrapped up. the two got together inside the white house to talk about the presidential race and what comes next for senator sanders and for his supporters. we are keeping a very close eye on the white house briefing room right now expecting reaction there at any moment from white house officials. meanwhile,en

the "washington post" reports that mitt romney and a quote band of exasperated republicans is drafting an independent candidate who could beat trump. among those recruited another billionaire, dallas mavericks owner mark cuban in an e-mail to cnn, cuban said it would have to be fun -- it would have been fun, rather to run against donald but as a third party it's too late. although the donald trump campaign was dogged by a new controversy surrounding his past and policies, we heard a lot of political leaders and pundits this week say trump supporters don't care. >> all these stories that come out and come out every couple of weeks, people just don't care. >> it's a little bit odd but i will tell you that i think of all of the things facing this country right now and after being through this primary for a year, i can assure you that particular issue will not move the electoratelectorate. >> this is a new york washington media deal here. people in the real world trying to earn a living concerned about their jobs and health care, they could care less about it. >> this is an issue that the
