according to the washington post, the officials said they had secured the cooperation eleanor: as i recall at the time, the clintons were encouraging him to testify. lawyers frequently don't want you to incur any possible liability. it will cost a lot of money and grief. at the time that was happening, to select committee on benghazi on the hill was in the hot pursuit. if you talk to people at the clinton campaign, they are glad he is cooperating, and don't feel he has done anything wrong. i gather the investigation will be wrapped up in early may, and then it will be decided whether any civil complaint are going to be brought. host: but go to al in rhode island. good morning. caller: eleanor, and for john also, did you read the article that tony blair wrote for bloomberg news? it is very important. guest: that he wrote about what? caller: about the reason why trump is so important in this country. it is happening all over the world. people are fed up with the government, the governing class controlling everything, and voters have no say anymore. guest: you are correct. there are trump lik

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

washington, d.c., and among the political class? mr. perkins: it is kind of funny coming from donald trump, because he is about as huggable as a porcupine himself. the reality is if you are not like in washington, d.c., there must be something good about you. that is the message ted cruz has had. he cares about the american people. i know him very well. it is difficult to shift all those emotions, and display all of those various agile beats people want to see, but i -- attributes people want to see, but i believe in a general election when people get a chance to see him, clearly focus on him, they will know he has a vision for the future of the country and he is unafraid to stand up to the political class in washington, d.c., including his own party, and the most elite club in the world, the united states senate. he has done that. he has proven himself. that is one of the reasons i'm standing with him. i have no doubt what he would do as president of the united states. susan: tony perkins, president of the family research council, join

today's "washington journal." joining us now is james antle, the politics editor at the "washington examiner." talking about donald trump formally clinching the gop nomination. the democratic contest, this weekend's libertarian party convention. thanks for joining us today. guest: thanks for having me. trump hasld officially gotten enough delegates to be the republican nominee. how have things changed after this? guest: i think there's going to be growing pressure on the rest of the party to kind of coalesce around him and consolidate, because they have been these pockets of resistance to donald trump, and he is obviously a very orthodox -- an unorthodox candidate. choice of a lot of both party establishment leaders, but even more so, a lot of leaders in the conservative movement had a lot of misgivings about donald trump. he has clinched the nomination much earlier than people expected. he has clinched it before the big primary in california, he clinched it before the convention, and he it before hillary clinton

we have a mess in washington. people are angry at washington. i understand that. but, you know, what do you want to do with that anger? you want to create something better? or do you want to just blow it up? i know a lot of people say just blow it up. what do you do the next day? blow it up again? blow it up again? what are you going to do? what are you going to accomplish? how would you change this for a better place? don't you want someone who is a track record who can actually do that? who understand the problems being confronted, ideas on how to solve them? the conservatives in this country, republicans in this country would like to see done. but what we have, at least if you believe the national polls, which i do not, is that we have the more experience, the lower you do in the polls. i would just ask the people of iowa to take a step back. i know they are. a lot of folks are making decisions this week. there may be re-deciding, looking at the situation. i use the example when i was up in ames yesterday, and i will try it here, you know, iowa state as a great

we want to hear from you on the washington journal.

we ought to shift all of this out of washington, d.c. [applause] we need to get rid of obama care and replace it with a consumer driven private sector oriented patient centered health care insurance system that will lower costs. that's the second part. the third part is we need civil service reform. there are too many government workers. we can reduce and i promise you we'll reduce the government work force by 10% just by attrition. my plan says if you want to hire someone in a department you have to have three vacancies created. we can shrink the government but we need reform so that they can embrace technology and be rewarded for a job well done but it should not be lifetime employment. that creates huge costs. then finally across the spectrum of government as much as possible beyond medicaid, education programs, the delegated authority to e.p.a., transportation programs. washington is not the place where this should take place. they should be providing this money in bloc grants back to the state. and i trust states. maybe it's because

on the one hand he is not a washington outsider whatsoever. that is the question we will see moving forward here, whether some of these newer politicians can make the most of their newfound support. host: in terms of moving forward , there may be some candidates who don't move forward. the lead editorial in "the new york times," the winnowing out of the candidates. continue ify not to they don't meet expectations or exceed them tonight in new hampshire? guest: the new york times endorsed john kasich and kasich has said if he does not do really well in new hampshire his campaign may be over. he, my chris christie and donald trump and others already have a public schedule out for south carolina and other stuffs around the country. they are maybe trying to telegraph that they are moving on from new hampshire one way or the other. host: beth is in north carolina, line for republicans. good morning. are you there? caller: yes i am. i am trying to get in to the conversation on tv. evidently i have been put through, is the c-span radio? host: you are

someone who is going to bring a new sensibility to washington and that is donald trump. that is where we are and the fact that that is happening right now, after everything that this season has brought us, given where he came from, where even he says he was considered a joke on june 16th when he announced, now it's almost impossible to see unless something crazy happens which has happened this year, but it's almost impossible to see him not getting that magic 1,237 and in cleveland him being the person that the republicans nominate as their presidential candidate. >> let's underline this one more time. with senator ted cruz with drawing, that's it. john kasich who remains in the race was running fourth in a three man race. he's now running fourth in a two man race because he's behind a marco rubio and ted cruz so that's not a serious challenge. donald trump who has never run for office before, a man who has offended the sensibilities of the republican establishment and millions of americans from every strike whether latino or muslim or others, is now the republican nomin

you have people sitting in new york or washington making decisions that don't reflect so much of what's happening in this great country. >> the people decide what stories are on the front page and tend to make more money. certainly, there's lots of decision makers in the new york to d.c. region are making more and may not be entirely connect to the struggles other americans face. i think that's what you're touching on. >> bernie sanders is tapping into the very passion, anger, anxieties trump is. he didn't because two months before trump went down the escalator, bernie sanders appealed to the media and said can we do some serious coverage here and not descend into soap opera or trivia or world wide wa wars. >> what's powerful is he was able to rise up despite the lack of attention. they're going to say new traditional media, we're going to get what we want. we're going to raise issues we want to hear. >> this is a fascinating moment to talk. let's have everybody stick around here. stand by for me and we're going to come back later in the hour. we're going to spend time talking to two ke

when you cut taxes by $5 billion and you grow over 400,000 jobs, that is a record that i can take to washington. >> if you add it up, kasich, bush, christie, put carly fiorina in there, even though she's an outside establishment voters, and marco rubio, donald trump would be in the rear-view mirror. but you have this cluster. >> and for kasich, the question is -- he may do well here, but where is he going to do well afterwards? it's hard to see him doing well in south carolina or the super tuesday states. and he does not have the kind of organization that he's built that could actually compete for a national campaign. that is the one thing that jeb does have going for him, while he has burned through a lot of money -- >> it's why ted cruz's campaign is quietly cheering for jeb bush. the ultimate representative of the establishment. but cruz's folks are cheering for jeb here in new hampshire because they want jeb, and more importantly, they want jeb's super pac to keep going to south carolina and keeping its fire on marco. >> we know there are a lot of evangelical tea party members in the south.

i want to thank the president of the american nurses' association and the president of washington state nurses' association for endorsing me today. i am so proud to be endorsed by the nurses of america. and i want to thank all of the elected officials who are here with us. i particularly want to pay tribute to this great high school, a great, great high school. you know, raniar beach is not only the champion of basketball, it's the champion of the international bacularete and the great results that the students are getting. it makes me so proud to know what this school is accomplishing and i will tell you if i'm so fortunate enough to be your president, i want to be a partner with principals and teachers and students and families like the ones here at the beach. [cheers and applause] >> i'm also very grateful to all of our volunteers who are working to hard in this campaign across this great state and you're knocking down barriers, you're building ladders of opportunity, you're helping us make the point that this campaign is about both growing and sharing the promise of america. we are

and as we wait for the house, more about the iowa caucuses from this morning's washington journal. get ready to cauc catherine lucey joins us. let's begin with this poll from the des moines register some of the bloomberg political poll. donald trump is on top was 28%, followed by senator ted cruz at 23%, which slipped a little bit. senator marco rubio follows with 15%. dr. ben carson at 10%. withing it out, rand paul 5%. chris christie with 3%. the others with 2% or less. catherine lucey, what are your predictions for tonight on the republican side? guest: i think we have all learned not to make too many predictions for it obviously, donald trump has remained a leader for a very long time. looking into this pretty good, and ted cruz has lost some ground. i think the big questions we're waiting to see is the difference here between organization and momentum. donald trump has a lot of enthusiasm, a lot of excitement. there are a lot of people at his rallies who say they have never caucused before. ted cruz has invested heavily in a very strong traditional organization to turn people

he could have punted until trump came down to washington. a big part of this is paul ryan is trying to protect that house majority. we are now in a situation where donald trump's numbers are so terrible that he puts not only the senate in jeopardy for the republican party but the house as well. and i think one of the things that ryan is calculating is that he is giving other house republicans cover as they feel that they don't want to endorse donald trump that maybe that gives them a better chance of saving their seats. >> so he's saying, look, you have to do this if you want to save the republican party and if you want to save our majority, correct? >> i think he believes that he doesn't want everything to go down in the massive bonfire that is the trump candidacy. he wants there still to be a republican party in washington afterwards that can rebuild. he doesn't want a situation where the republicans have lost the senate, the house and essentially the supreme court all in one election. >> you looked pained. >> this is a candidate that has

are sending a message that they want things to change in washington. they want to the president and congress address the challenges these countries face and one assist do it in a bipartisan way stop >> your first foray into politics was the jimmy who campaign. today everyone knows who donald trump and hillary clinton are due to television and social media. how you think the new hampshire primary has changed in its role in the political process. >> i think new hampshire is still important in the political process because it is still of place were candidates go and they get asked questions. donald trump maybe one exception but i think most of the candidates still go there and engage with voters and a talk about what they want to do, what their vision is for the country. that's very important in the presidential selection process. in new hampshire, voters are very engaged. we have a lot of voters to go to every campaign event for everybody running. when i was home, i had spoken to a woman and her daughter. they were getting selfies with everything will ca

, they don't like you in washington. and if you want to be liked in washington, that's not a good attribute for president. >> here's a man, robin hood over here. he talks about corruption. on his financial disclosure form, he didn't even put that he borrowed money from goldman sacks ande

[applause] and it did not come from washington. washington despised ronald reagan. it started right here new hampshire in the granite state, 36 years ago. [applause] the media back then said there is no way this former governor of california could win. he is too conservative. the people of new hampshire will never support someone that actually believes this. and yet, the granite state shocked the pundits, shocked the pollsters. stood up, and because of the leadership of the men and women in this state, they gave america and the world 40 resident of the -- president of the united states, ronald wilson reagan. [applause] why am i so optimistic? because the same thing is happening again. all over this country, people are waking up. , how many of iowa you know the turnout numbers in iowa? on the pelican side, we saw a 50% -- republican side, we saw a 50% turnout, higher than any time in history with the iowa caucus.

here in washington d.c., republican friends of mine are in angst. it's like an inverse choice. they don't want trump and they don't want cruz and they're trying to decide which is the lesser of evils. it's a moment of hand ringing for them. neither happens to be the establishment's preference, but there are arguments for and against them. >> so scotty wins. you can have both. >> i like it. mr. trump is not on a diet. he can have his cake and eat it too. it's okay. >> i can't, unfortunately. >> i can't either. >> thanks, guys. ahead for us, new fallout after facing voters in a town hall in iowa sanders making some big statements about what he'd do in auchs. >> plus, three inmates missing after a daring escape. a former prisoner joins us live on what he says is unheard of in this case. today people are coming out to the nation's capital to support an important cause that can change the way you live for years to come. how can you help? by giving a little more, to yourself. i am running for my future. people sometimes forget to help themselves. the cause is retirement, and today th
