hello, everybody, this is al jazeera america. live from new york city i'm david shuster. ahead this hour leaders from greece and the european union have agreed on a debt deal but it has painful strings attached and now the prime minister has to convince his people to accept the deal. el chopo has broken out of prison. and scott walker has now entered the presidential race. we'll show you the impact he is already having in the crowded

g.o.p. field. ♪ we begin with hour with a massive debt deal reached today by european leaders who were trying to help greece avoid a financial collapse. the agreement came after a contention all-night negotiating session. it calls for changes in greece and monitoring by e.u. authorities and it will mean more sacrifice by the greek people. and the your greek prime minister has agreed to push parts of the deal through the greek parliament by wednesday. jacky rowland has the details from brussels. >> reporter: a deal at least. after talks that lasted all night, euro zone leaders emerged to announce they avoided a greek exit from the euro.

>> today we had only one objective to reach an agreement after 17 hours of negotiations we have finally reached it. someone can say that we have anning a-greekment. >> reporter: it's no laughing matter for the greeks. they need to adopt a large package of reforms in the next two days and sell off 50 billion euros of assets. the prime minister tried to put the best gloss on it. >> translator: the deal is difficult, but we have prevented the pursuit of a transfer of public property abroad we prevented the flan of financial asphyxiation, and the collapse of a financial system. finally, we achieved in this hard fight the restructure of the debt and secured financing for the medium term.

>> reporter: chancellor merkel confirmed that they would look at restructuring the debt but was categorical that none would be written off. >> translator: this success has come in spite of the fact in the past few weeks and months the most important currency was lost between us. but as we all know paper is patience. in other words going forward what will be important is to implement what we have agreed on during the night. >> reporter: these were growling talks for everyone. but the process is far from over. the idea is that half of the money raised for the privatization will be used to recapitalize the greek banks, a quarter will be used to pay off the debt and the rest will be reinvested into greece. but euro zone leaders have made it clear that talks can't not

continue until the greek parliament passes all of the measures into law. most of the leaders can now catch some badly-needed sleep, but not the greek prime minister. for sure the night was bruising for him, and he can only expect another bruising when he returns to face the parliament and people of greece. jacky rowland, al jazeera, brussels. let's go now to patricia sabga live in athens. how is this new e.u. bailout agreement being received where you are in greece? >> i can tell you, david there was a lot of anger on the streets of athens this morning, a lot of that anger directed towards germany. greeks accept responsibility for where the economy is now. every greek we have spoken to every single one of them accept responsibility for previous governments leading them to this crisis. that said, however, there was a lot of anger of what many people see as germany going out of its

way to humiliate greece. but as the day wore on emotions started to change and by early evening scepticism started to emerge. there is also a lot of fatigue david because you have to remember that people in greece have been living this crisis for five years. that the economic deterioration has accelerated in the last five and a half six months and in the last two weeks with the bank closures and cash rashing, the economy has been in a death spiral and caught in the cross fire of all of this are ordinary greeks who are just struggling to hang on. we speak to two yesterday, two grandparents struggling to raise their two grandsons on a mere $824 a month, now they are staring down the barrel of more austerity and more pension cuts.

>> translator: they raised their children's children and families are destroyed. people are completely destroyed here. and now in these last five months it's all over for us. the banks are now closed. we're in a catastrophe. >> reporter: there is no relief in site for people like them and along with this financial crisis, and all of the political wranglings, you have to remember these are the people behind those headlines. this is the silent crisis. >> you mentioned many of the greeks believed that this was a deal that essentially the germans put together to hurt greece, and it was a german-lead coup. is there any accuracy to that description of what has been passed through the e.u.? >> reporter: okay well basically some of the pensioners that we spoke to they were stunned and really shocked at what they see as the short

memories of the germans. because germany has half of its debt forgiven after world war ii, and one of the countries that forgive them was greece. also a real sore point is the privatization of state assets. that is selling off proceeds that belong to the greek people. and only a quarter if they are lucky will go into investing in the economy. >> patricia thank you. in vienna diplomats from six world powers including the united states are racing to try to rap up a nuclear deal with iran. but a few key issues still remain. the negotiation deadline has been extended three times. james bayes is in vienna with more. >> reporter: with the key players, all seven foreign ministers involved in the talks, all in vienna there were hopes

of an historic deal on monday. >> translator: we believe there cannot be and should not be further delays in the negotiations. >> reporter: but as the intense diplomacy continued it was clear there were a few final sticking points still blocking a deal. u.s. secretary of state john kerry and the e.u. foreign affairs chief met we the iranian foreign minister. how did it go? i tried to find out. is there a chance of a deal today, representative? are you making progress? later dr. zarif came out on his own balcony. he said they could possibly reach a deal by tuesday. >> if either party miscalculates

and thinks that the other side is in a position of weakness and more keen to get an agreement than -- that it is i'm afraid this possess can collapse and if that gamble fails, basically, this opportunity is lost. i don't think it can be renewed a few months down the road because not only the parties will lose momentum but a tremendous amount of trust will be lost and that's the biggest asset in the negotiations. for the diplomats inside the hotel and the journalists camping outside, these have become marathon negotiations. as the day once again turns into night, a deal still has not been done and the round the clock diplomacy continues. james bayes. al jazeera, vienna. >> ali velshi just returned from iran. he joins us now with more on the talks. a lot of the americans may not appreciate that in iran they are

consuming the news of this perhaps as voraciously as americans are. >> yes, and mirn -- iranian press almost seems to be cheer leading the news. there's a range of opinion, there are conservative newspapers and more reformist newspapers, but there were constant reports that a deal is done it's all done but for the signing, and of course that wasn't accurate but it almost seems as if iranian news and state-supported news in iran was cheer leading for a deal. remember that there is a contingent in iran the hard liners the conservatives, that many americans will think is all of iran those people are very worried that they are going to be undercut by a deal. last friday was the last friday of ramadan, which is typically a

day of protest against israel for the occupation as they describe it of palestine. this past friday hard liners called for protesters to come out in much bigger numbers protesting not just israel but america and europe what they call the imperial powers. a few more people showed up so there's a real sense that the hard liners are on the line in this case. that said, they are hard liners. they might be a minority they are highly influential and well placed in the judiciary, government, and the administration of iran. >> for all of the hatred that may exist for israel and the united states government it seems the overriding concern on the streets is simply to get these sanctions lifted? >> that's absolutely right. most people want more money. the value of their money has devalued so much in the last few

years, about two-thirds, maybe even three-quarters of what it was worth a few years ago. and the turning point in the sanctions was in 2012 when they imposed the banking sanctions. that is what made money in short supply and made it devalue. that's what iranians are looking for. they want their financial matters sorted out. nuclear issues and hatred for america, and israel and by the way saudi arabia all of that takes second place to their economic concerns. but while i was there, you heard a lot of talk about the american government, american foreign policy in the middle east and how it relates to israel and saudi arabia the dislike for both of those governments is very similar. >> ali, you shot a lot of terrific tape while you are there, and you are starting to put some together tonight. >> yeah. i went down, i wasn't just in tehran, i went to another place,

which is iran's biggest port they used to ship -- when you measure shipping, you measure it in 20-foot shipping containers. they used to do 2.5 million of those a year before sanctions. after sanctions they are down to 1.8. and i'm discussing all of those other places where sanctions have really really affected the economy. this president rouhani got elected on the platform of opening up to the rest of the deal. >> ali thank you very much. folks you will love some of the taped pieces he has got together. ali velshi right here on al jazeera america. the estranged son of a boston police captain is under arrest accused of plotting attacks on behalf of isil. he was arrested july 4th for allegedly receiving guns.

the fbi says he was planning to set off pressure cooker bombs on a college campus and also intended to execute it students and show it live online. the affidavit says he has a history of mental illness. in iraq, government military forces have now launched an offensive to take back anbar provines. the unofficial focus is on gaining control of fallujah. the ultimate goal is to retake ramadi. jamie mcintyre is here to walk us through how the u.s. hopes the operation will unfold in the coming days. jamie joins us live from washington. jamie. >> i want to make it clear right up front, we're not giving away the invasion plan. what i run through with you is based on our conversations with pentagon sources. it's is the general idea of how

this plan is supposed to go. here is fallujah, where isil is in control, about 40 miles west of baghdad, and that's where isil forces are holding that place. here is the air base where the u.s. advisors have set up shop that's just south of where most of the iraqi security forces are stationed. here is the plan that u.s. advisors essentially devised. they say you have to fix fallujah. that means you have to engage the opposing force so they can't maneuver against you. they want to have these isil forces busy so they can't, a, reinforce isil forces in ramadi and they can't along behind attacking the iraqi forces from behind. over the last couple of days

some of these iraqi forces have moved south around here and up to set up a blocking position south and north of ramadi. and that's to prevent the isil forces from running away to fight another day, or as chairman of the joint chiefs put it the other day, to squirt out like toothpaste to fight somewhere else in iraq. that's the beginning of this operation that we're going to see unfolding over the next couple of days. >> jamie, how much of the plan has been started so far? >> just a little bit. there has been some fighting with some of the militia forces in the outskirts of fallujah but we're seeing very heavy activity by the u.s. coalition air strikes. 29 air strikes in the last 24 hours in ramadi targeted more than 5 dozen isil targets. >> jamie do u.s. military officials think that this plan

will work? >> well, they hope so. there are no guarantees. they are not making any guarantees. it depends on the iraqi troops. they feel they fashioned a good plan, that the commanders will have full support of the u.s. military. it's going to be a test for the iraqi troops because you may recall how hard it was for u.s. marines to fight in fallujah. but ash carter said it's a test the iraqi forces have to pass. >> jamie thank you. in afghanistan there has been another suicide bombing, and this one killed at least 33 people. it went off close to a check point. it's the same place where seven cia operatives were killed in 2009. jennifer glasse reports. >> reporter: they are mourning the death after a suicide car bomb near a u.s. military base. women and children were killed

alongside civilian men and afghan security forces. the injured are recovering in several hospitals from an attack that took them by surprise on a busy road. >> translator: i was on my way home when suddenly a bomb goes off. i find myself here. [ inaudible ] left in the car. >> reporter: the intended target was camp chapman a base on the edge of the city. in 2009 it was the site of the worst attack on the u.s. intelligence agency the cia, in decades. it's still home to international forces. in this attack like so many others it's civilians who suffer the most. the united nations says civilian casualties and injuries in the first quarter of this year are up 16% compared to the same period last year. and that's before the fighting season began. afghan security forces are also taking high casualties as they

fight without the support they used to get from nato. in siberia, a military barracks has collapsed. paratroopers were resting inside when parts of the walls and roof caved in. soldier formed a human chain to help clear the rubble and try to find their fellow solders. frustration and anger, why u.s. officials say it should be no surprise that the mexican drug lord el chopo escaped from prison. and we'll take a look at the fallout on the supreme court ruling on gay marriage.

therab emirates has executed a woman for killing an american last year.

they say she followed a kindergarten teacher into a bathroom and then stabbed her to death. the escape of el chopo may not have been a surprise to u.s. officials. he broke out of his prison cell and into a tunnel saturday night. he emerged from a hole in the ground after making his escape. it is a breakout that the dea reportedly knew was in the planning stages. jennifer london reports. >> reporter: just two days after a hollywood style prison break, this spanish blog posted photos reportedly of guzman enjoying his newfound freedom. he escaped from this prison in central mexico on saturday night through an elaborate tunnel. the two foot by two foot opening lead to a tunnel a mile long that ended in this unfinished

house. he has been notorious for his you of tunnels. he has a team that have built over a hundred tunnels. >> reporter: and this is the second time he escaped. in 2001 he bribed prison officials to smuggle him out in a laundry bin. he was on the run until last year. his arrest was a blow to an empire that authorities say is responsible for a quarter of the illegal drugs that come into the united states. >> whenever you can find drugs, they are connected to el chopo. >> we don't know if guzman ever set foot in the city of chicago. but certainly, people that were

dispatched to chicago to oversee his operation put their thumbprint on that operation. >> reporter: the chicago crime commission named him public enemy number one. he is wanted in the united states on drug trafficking charges, but another title, one of the most powerful and richest men in the world may keep him out of reach of law enforcement. jennifer london al jazeera, los angeles. president obama today computed the sentences for dozens of u.s. federal prisoners. most were convicted of non-violent drug charges. it is part of a week that the president will spend focusing on criminal justice reform. later he'll visit a prison in oklahoma. the u.s. pentagon is set to lift the ban on transgender people serving in the military.

defense secretary ashton carter issued a director -- directive today. the supreme court ruling on gay marriage has prompted an entire clerk office to sign. and now the county is about to get a new clerk. robert ray joins us from tennessee with more. >> reporter: it's a small rural county in tennessee decatur county, and decaturville is where the county clerk and mayor exist. when same-sex marriage became legal by the supreme court ruling a couple of weeks ago, many counties in the south decided they didn't want to abide by the new rule of the land. the countyalong with two other employees decided they

did not want to go along with this. now they have resigned because of their religious beliefs. this evening there is a meeting that will go on to elect a new county clerk. in the interim the new county clerk feels it is okay to issue these marriage licenses even though he doesn't agree with it. >> apparently the supreme court has decided they are going to overrule what the people of this state said. i do not agree with that. but i still have a job to do. and that's to take care of selling marriage licenses to whomever. >> reporter: the interim county clerk has said that no one has actually come in and applied for a same-sex marriage certification, since the supreme court decision a couple of weeks ago. but in the state of kentucky there is a lawsuit by the aclu against a county up there because there are people that went in and tried to do the marriage certificate and were

denied by county clerks so that is an ongoing situation as it is here so this is a religious belief religious conjecture but these city clerks here in tennessee, and they will elect a new official tonight. robert ray, al jazeera. meanwhile over in kentucky a federal judge heard arguments in a lawsuit against a kentucky clerk who refuses to issue marriage licenses. kim davis is refusing to issue to anybody so he does not have to give out licenses to gay couples. she says same-sex marriage violates her religious believes. kentucky governor has told clerks in his state that they must hand out licenses or resign. wall street was happy with greece's bailout deal today. the dow was up more than 200 points, but the greeks lead by prime minister tsipras are not too happy about it. we'll explain why they are

blaming angela merkel's germany. plus governor scott walker is one of the final republicans to join the g.o.p. field. we will take a closer look.

>> it's crazy money that you can make here. >> behind america's oil boom. >> it's a ticking time bomb. >> uncovering shocking working conditions. >> do you know what chemicals have been in that tank? >> and the deadly human cost. >> my big brother didn't wake up the next day. >> "faultlines". hard-hitting... >> today they will be arrested. >> ground-breaking... >> they're firing canisters of gas at us. >> emmy award-winning investigative series. "faultlines": death on the bakken shale. only on al jazeera america. >> you have to taste chocolate all day long. >> how one man's passion... >> you take a piece of chocolate and you break it and you listen. >> led to a lifelong obsession... >> i owe my life to chocolate. >> and a dark warning. >> the world will run out of chocolate by 2020. >> i lived that character. >> we will be able to see change.

greece has made a new deal with its european creditors that could save the country from imminent financial collapse, but the bailout requires greece to make some unpopular concessions, those include raising taxes, cutting pensionings and privateizing billions of dollars in government accesses while the greek prime minister was cutting the deal his actions were under close scrutiny back home. mohammed john june has reaction. >> reporter: there's certainly no surplus of relief. >> translator: this is the worst davy had here in 30 years. >> reporter: for decades he sold

his lottery tickets while staring out at at -- atten's square. he says now there is simply no justice; that these days life in greece has turned into one big bad bet. the big fish eats the small fish. poor tsipras went to stand up to angela merkel, but it's not possible. the lottery, he says is more reliable than the german government. that sentiment that germany was enthusiastically hauling greece over the coals, echos bitterly throughout the square. >> we have to make a plan and then leave mr. [ inaudible ] with his euro with his money to do whatever he wants to a europe

that's not with an e capital. >> reporter: el lees a believes his own government's previous finance minister had more than a little to do with the current crisis. >> the man was a fan and a writer of -- of many books of the theory of games. i believe when you are gaming with a country, it's a little bit risky, you might in the game of poker you might lose let's say dimes or dollars or euros, but in a country you might lose more than that. >> reporter: of course a healthy dose of scepticism also permeate permeated the proceedings. i'm still doubtful, she says. did they just agree to agree in nothing is finished yet. many here feel their very existence has become little more than a numbers game. here outside of parliament there is a sense of stasis that's a

greek word that means among other things stagnation. that they are stuck to forces wholly out of their control. with life seeming more dependant on the luck of the draw than ever before. we're joined by a board member of the national monetary fund. in the 1950s, greece was one of those countries that voted to forgive a lot of the debt that germany had at the time in order for its economy to start rebuilding. >> yeah, look i'm not sure that's the appropriate way to start. going back to post world war ii germany and drawing analogy to 2015 greece having gone through what it has gone through for the

past five year i don't think that's apples to apples. i do think there's a valid frustration on the part of the greek people in how germany came off this weekend. i think it was seen as being overkill. but let's just remember how we got here and in the short-term how we got here was the greek prime minister a week and a half ago took the negotiations that are ongoing off of the table, unilaterally called a referendum campaigned against the deal -- >> but one of the reasons he took it off of the table is haven't we already settled the argument that if you look back to 2008, europe goes through austerity, suffers mightily the united states goes on a stimulus spending, and the united states economy picks up where europe did not. why therefore shouldn't that be the model? >> well, look this is not to

get into austerity versus spending, because greece is in a category way on its own. in terms of what prescriptions were actually appropriate for each country, let's go back and realize the united states crisis was a financial crisis fundamentally different than the crisis of european countries, and certainly different from where greece is today, much less where it was in 2010 and 2012 where it had its first and then second program. of course they need growth stimulus, but greece's problems are so structurally fundamental that before you can get to throwing at money at something so you stimulate growth you have got to get to the point where under any macroeconomic assessment, the country is borderline or better than borderline sustainable. and greece is so far out of that realm of possibility that you have to change the basics. >> how do you do that when you cut government spending cutting

pensions raising taxes, which is also then less money that is going to go into the hands of the people who might grow the economy. >> let's remember where we were a year ago. a year ago in greece the country had just raised $4.5 billion euros in the capital markets. it was started to grown again and unemployment was starting to come down. they were embracing the structural measures. then the troika or whatever we call the institutions decided not be forgiving, and i don't support that. i think there is a lot of blame to go around. but at that point all progress stepped. there was a political choice made by the greek people to basically accept a santa claus-style government one that said you don't have to worry about anything we're going to reject everything bad and give you only free things forever. and effectively that's what you

promised and that's just not reality. so what happened in the last five or six months was a government that missold reality to its people and as recentlied a last weekend's referendum, they thought they could get away with it. where i criticize the germans is in not accepting last week's capitulation, where they put on the table proposals that were really fundamentally at odds with what they wanted but that they recognized they really needed to take those steps. and the germans and their counterparts this weekend said sorry, you are too far gone. we don't trust you. tsipras and their government proved they were not worthy of that trust there. who's fault is it? in part the international institutions, the germans, but

the greek people have beenlying off of a -- basically a plan that doesn't exist in reality, and they now have to come to grips with how they deviate from that make believe plan and get back to reality. >> douglas we are got to end it there -- >> do they do it in the euro or with their money. that's the choice. >> douglas, which by the way the imf will have extensive oversight over the plans being put in place in greece. the widow of the man who died after being detained by new york city police has agreed to a $5.9 million settlement from the city. the medical examiner ruled the death a homicide but a grand jury declined when the officer. the agreement was reached days before the deadline to file a lawsuit. they have agreed to 5.9 million.

ending months of speculation, scott walker made his 2016 presidential candidacy official today. in front of his family and thousands of supporters said scott walker made it official. >> after a great deal of thought, and a whole lot of prayer we are -- we are so honored to have you join with us here today, and we officially announce that we are running to serve as your president of the united states of america. [ cheers and applause ] >> reporter: in mostly democratic wisconsin, walker a stanch conservative has won three state-wide elections over the past five years. he has built a national conservative following, but crippling public employee

unions. >> we understand that true freedom and prosperity do not come from the mighty hand of the government, they come from empowering people to control their own lives and destinies. >> reporter: originally from colorado walker was raised in a small wisconsin town. he spent a few years in college, but did not graduate. after working for the red cross, he entered the state legislature at age 26 and served for ten years before running and winning a race for governor. soon after taking office he passed a right to work bill amist huge protests. the state supreme court ultimately improved the legislation. the measure was so divisive that residents collected more than a million signatures to force a statewide gubernatorial recall election. but he won that race and pledged

to keep his union-busting efforts going. >> i will be able to sign into law, something that says that you have the freedom to work anywhere you want without having to be a part of a labor union or not. >> for the past few years even president obama has taken notice. recently the president travelled to wisconsin to promote worker's rights and defend overtime pay. >> america has always done better economically when we're all in it together. >> reporter: early polls show walker deading the g.o.p. field in the iowa caucuses. but he has limited foreign policy experience and earlier this year after he explained his qualifications for taking on isil -- >> if i could take on a hundred thousand protesters, i can do the same across the world. >> rival republicans compared him to sarah palin. he is also far behind the

fund-raising of ted cruz and jeb bush. at 47 years old, though walker insists the country is ready for somebody new. >> instead of the top down government knows best sentiment, we need to build the economy from the ground up in a way that is new and fresh. >> scott walker entering the republican presidential race this afternoon. in the democratic race hillary clinton gave a major domestic policy address today, laying out her plans for the country's economic future. she had an aggressive agenda, aiming at skeptics of her in her own party. michael shure reports. >> reporter: in a speech long on vision, short on details, hillary clinton laid out a sweeping economic vision that revealed an aggressive and

decidedly populous stance. >> the defining economic challenge of our time is clear. we must raise incomes for hard-working americans, so they can afford a middle class life. we must drive strong and steady income growth that lifts up families and lifts up our country. and that -- [ laughter ]. >> and that will be my mission from the first day i'm president to the last. >> reporter: the former secretary of state was not shy about drawing sharp contrast with her republican counterparts. >> senator rubio would cut taxes for house holds making around $3 million a year by almost $240,000 well that's a sure budget-busting give away to the superwealthy, and that's the

kind of bad economics you are likely to hear from any of the candidates on the other side. >> reporter: and she targeted another rival aiming for the white house, jeb bush who last week said that people need to work longer hours. >> let him tell that to the nurse that stands on her feet all day, or the teacher in that classroom, or the trucker who drives all night. let him tell that to the fast-food workers marching in the streets for better pay. they don't need a lecture. they need a raise. [ cheers and applause ] >> reporter: as clinton tried to separate herself from republicans, she veered closer to her surprising progressive rival, senator bernie sanders. >> and while institutions have paid large fines and in some cases admitted guilt, too often it has seemed that the human beings responsible get off with limited consequences or none at all even when they have already pocketed the gains.

this is wrong, and on my watch, it will change. >> reporter: but growth was the central theme of the day. >> so today i'm proposing an agenda to raise incomes for hard-working americans, an agenda for strong growth fair growth, and long-term growth. >> reporter: clinton proposed to grow the economy by increasing wages, reforming the tax code expanding family friendly work policies, and promoting profit-sharing within companies for employees. we asked professor peter, economist at the university of maryland how easy those goals will be. >> she is telling people what they want to hear and in the end she will not be able to deliver on a third of what she proposes. >> reporter: where pulled to the left by democrats or forced there by republicans, hillary clinton today gave voters their first taste of how she would

tackle the financial problems that so many americans still face. >> michael shure joins us now. michael, hillary clinton's movement to the left with these progressive economic policies. i wonder if it suggests a deep concern that she has for her progressive rivals, and are you hearing much from democrats about that hillary clinton concern about her own party challengers? >> yeah, well i think in fact the clinton people and others in the democratic party are saying they are paying attention not so much to the candidate sanders, but what his message is. this was build a domestic policy speech. this was a political speech the kind she needed to make to neutralize her opponent bernie sanders and also answer to jeb bush saying that people need to work many more hours. >> when hillary clinton is saying we need more accountability for the people responsible for the wall street mess, and bernie sanders is saying let's break up the big

banks, there is still a big divide between the two? >> there are. this will be a fight among the democrats for a little while, but hillary clinton thinks this message has to be heard by republicans going down the road. >> thank you, michael. we have a professor of campaign management. what did you think? >> michael's report is what we're hearing from everybody, that it was a little bit short on specifics, but the message was there. and i think that's a message she wants to take to the general election. so we're not going to hear her veer as far to the left. so she has got a politically charged message that she is hoping takes her into the center. >> but is it charged enough to inspire and electrify democrats in a way that right now the only candidate getting much lek trif

-- elect if indication as bernie sanders? >> i don't think it is. hillary clinton is not going to get out there, you know, and really charge up the left. she is reluctant to talk about things like wall street. she doesn't say those words a lot. so people look to somebody like a bernie sanders. but they are hoping that bernie sanders, we're hoping we can co-op enough of his message that we are stick with him. >> scott walker tried to broaden his appeal today. how did he do? >> i thought he did a good job trying to tell the american people i am more than just this union-busting governor from the u.s. i have a record of really conservative action in my state, and he absolutely does and i want to take this across the

nation. we heard him conservative on social issues conservative on the economy, and you look at that in contrast to hillary clinton, and there is a really stark contrast between these two parties, and it will be really interesting, i think when we get beyond the primaries and caucuses to see these argument goes head to head because there is a vast difference between what these two are offering socially and also economically. >> one of the biggest issues and it's something we'll be talking about tomorrow night, and that is the issue of immigration, how much as donald trump been able to dominate the discourse, with his comments and then doubling down on his contentions that it's only criminals coming across the border. >> he is dominating the airways, but look at scott walker he has [ inaudible ] on the issue of immigration. and we'll hear more about it.

but donald trump has certainly kept it in the news and brought it to the headlines. i think republicans would love nothing more than for him to be quiet so they can address it in a way that gets them to walk between the hard liners and able to attract the latino vote. >> thank you for joining us in studio. coming up next why harper lee's new novel is causing such controversy over a classic character. ♪

>> it's crazy money that you c
