1:00 pm
in the race for the president in 2016. the change of her twitter page with me now gloria borger john king host of "reliable sources" brian stelter, as well as jeff zeleny. jeff let's begin with you. the way in which hillary clinton presented this announcement and that she really is not the star initially, but she makes a number of other people the star first. >> that's right. good afternoon, frederickrickafredricka, we have been expecting this so long that hillary clinton -- how she did it as you said is a bit unusual. she's trying to drive the point home this is not about her. this is about listening to the concerns of voters. this video was film in the last
1:01 pm
week or so with real people showing their real concerns. she's going to amplify that as she travels in the coming week to iowa and new hampshire. these are the messages she's fighting for. let's take a look at the video. >> it's spring so we're starting to get the gardens ready. my tomatoes are legendary in my own neighborhood. >> my daughter is about to start kindergarten next year. we're moving just so she can belong to a better school. [ speaking foreign language ] >> after five years of raising my children i am now going back to work. >> every day we're trying to get more and more ready and more prepared. >> a big boy coming your way. >> right now i'm applying for jobs. it's a look into what the real world will look like after college. >> i'm getting married this
1:02 pm
somewhere, to someone i really care about. >> i'm going to be in a play and in a fish costume. ♪ tiny fishes ♪ >> i'm getting ready to retire soon. retirement means reinventing yourself in many ways. >> we've been doing a lot of home renovations. >> but most importantly we just want to teach our dog to quit eating the trash. >> so we have high hopes for 2015 that that's going to happen. >> i've started a new career recently. this is a fifth generation company, which means a lot to me. this country was founded on hard work and it really feels good to be a part of that. >> i'm getting ready to do something to. i'm running for president. americans have fought their way back from tough economic times, but the deck is still stacked in favor of those at the top. everyday americans need a champion and i want to be that champion. so you can do more than just get by. you can get ahead and stay
1:03 pm
ahead, because when families are strong, america is strong. so i'm hitting the road to earn your vote. because it's your time and i hope you'll join me on this journey. we heard her say right there it's your time i hope you join me on this journey. not about her trying not to make it about her ambitions, her political ambitions, so very much a campaign where she's listening to other voters and she's doing small sessions with voters. she's not have a big speech until may, we're told. and what do we expect that may rally might be like? >> we're certainly going to hear a lot of -- to answer the big question -- why is she running for president? we know she's in. we know she has been preparing,
1:04 pm
but she still needs to articulate why she's running. that's why she'll give a speech in ray to relay these stores and certains but make no mistake republican and even perhaps democratic rivals will not wait until may to start attacking her work. even some mild reaction from some democrats. that means her competitors will instantly start going after her. >> we have a lot of people at the table. also at our table brian stelter, and buck sexton. so i understand brian, you first, you had more information on maybe her twitter page? that used to say "tbd" but yet another update? >> all these little details. it's easy to over-analyze them. i think the most criticize thing is the logo. a lot of designers think it's a
1:05 pm
pretty sloppy logo but the core of the message is getting high marks. obviously you can look at this stuff and decide it's too manufactured but to put this online on facebook and twitter. this way they can share it in a more intimate way. she's not the first candidate to do this but of course a very high-profile candidate to do this. it certainly allows her to control a message that candidates only 20 years ago would have only dreamed about. that's memorable. the h with the arrow, implying you're going to move forward.
1:06 pm
how important is it to have monikers like that how important will a moniker be for a campaign, a non-incumbent with the name recognition she has. joe biden cringes at this but even barack obama yesterday was judd saying and when asked about joe biden, he said i don't want to talk about future elections. so in many way the democratic party is treating her as an incumbent vice president. fleetwood mac. the republicans will say she is about the past she is
1:07 pm
yesterday's news. they will try to tie her to barack obama, but i think it's a very well-crafted -- but when you like at president obama's two bit victories why were this? you saw black faces, latino faces, working women, a guy on a factory floor. two gay couples in an announcement. that has never 457d. plus republicans are saying ben ghazi, you were part of the failed policy. yesterday the president was with raul castro hillary clinton is part of that. the republicans are very much gearing up for a national security election at the moment hillary clinton was going back to lunch bucket economics saying you're doing a little better than the financial collapse in 2008 but you need someone to fight for you in washington. again it's only day one, she's
1:08 pm
got a long way to go. she will have bad days but on a day when you can control your message, pretty smart. >> wow, what a day one this is, gloria. in in. >> in watching this video again, there is no washington noise in this video. there is no mention of washington no mention of budget fights or terrorism our iran new deals, deal like that what this video is about, she's saying i understand what you're going through every day in your life and you're not paying attention to that noise, and i'm not either i'm paying attention to you. very a very smart subtle message here which takes hillary clinton, who's been well known in washington for decades, takes her out of that setting that we've seen her in so frequently
1:09 pm
and puts her in the backyard basically, says okay i know you've got child care issues you've got kids to raise, you've been jobs, mobility, retirement you're renovating your house and you've got hope and i want to share in that hope also. so for someone who is running for president, it was the same time running to get to washington someone clearly saying i'm not only of washington i'm at your house at your kitchen table. >> and who's groan was that that i heard? >> i just want to offer that the only real substance in the message, i think we can all understand it's pretty early for them to be giving the actual vision but the only substance was this boilerplate message about economic pop ulitch the idea that she cares about you,
1:10 pm
whoever you may be but she cares about your issue, trying to pay your bills, trying to keep your job, perhaps trying to start a business. this is interesting especially given what the media did last time with mitt romney. she's a private jet progressive. she's something i don't think a lot of people will be easily fooled into thinking understands the struggle. i think that's where there might be disconnect and for republicans who are going to criticizer talking about how she's so concerned about people's issues and policies never mind the fact she was vulnerable as secretary of state and also part of the obama administration. on top of that she doesn't really understand the struggle despite the messaging in that video. >> and buck in fact we have videotape from two republicans who preemptively have been critical of her message.
1:11 pm
jeb bush and rand paul. let's listen. >> i believe every american deserves the right to rise and the opportunity to achieve the american dream and that abroad america should be respected by our allied and feared by our enemies. that's why it's critical we change the direction or country is headed. we must do better than the obama/clinton foreign policy that's emboldened our enemies. >> announcer: hillary clinton represents the arrogance, the power, corruption and cover-up conflicts of interest and failed leadership with tragic consequences. the washington machine is destroying the american dream. it's time for a new leader and a new way. rand paul. so buck, if you could will this backfire? does there need to be more red rick from republican candidates? more of issues and less of hillary clinton or the clinton
1:12 pm
message or the clinton foreign policy? that kind of language? >> no i think those are actually pretty effective ads. there's no question there will be a lot of criticism both on her record as well as everything she puts out. it will be a herculean effort to not come across as the ultimate bellway insider, the most conducted, the most elitist, and i think -- i know she wants to seem like the one person who can understand everyone's troubles and i think that will be tough. she has first of all we're not even getting into the personality issues but on pure policy issues people have to tie her to the obama presidency. by joe biden's own words, the middle class has had a terrible time since president obama came into office and i think this
1:13 pm
will be difficult. >> i think the expectation is there, but i w07bder to all of you, how important will it be that she gets a real challenge from a fellow democrat someone who will challenge her. >> we should know that martin o'malley came out about half an hour saying he's seriously considering running, and will make his decision regardless of what other people decide to do. so at least one other possible contender trying to get his message out. >> gloria how important will it be that she is challenged by others of the same, you know, party? so as people think about challenging her. those a big speed bump but they
1:14 pm
are thinking about challenging her. when i talked to people in the clinton campaign as we can now call it she had, looked she would be strengthened by challenges because everyone is a -- as strong issues strong issues that are debated. as we've already seen for example today. rather than attacking each other, they may decide to go after hillary clinton, and who can see who can do that the best and who will be the most electable, which i think will be a lot of their arguments on the republican side but sure she can use a challenger. don't kid yourself she's really popular in the democratic party. >> and regardless of who will challenge her, and of course
1:15 pm
landlord at the a small handful. sheet also running against herself. she -- some of her advisers believe -- i talked to one a short time ago by e-mail and said that running against someone would be easier than running against this sort of mythical idea of a democratic challenger out there. by that they mean elizabeth warren. there's still a hope among the far left of the party, is she going to run? of course she said so many times she's not, but it would be easier. but for all the talk of these internal disputes the we're going to see those play out here you know, how close to wall street is she? is she populist enough? she's have a lot on her place.
1:16 pm
so far the only does thats would be democrats who want a position in the clinton administration and they'll be essentially a fall guy, or they're planning a book tour. there's no serious challengers. >> but if she makes a mistake. if if there were to be a bombshell bombshell, there would be plenty of people coming out of the wood work right? they're just not coming out now. and the democratic party does not have a deep bench. they've been decimated at the state level during the obama years. >> why is that? >> i think gloria hit a key point. that's to maintain the vast lead of the party. that's why this roll-out is much anticipated, but not particularly exciting. she's way ahead in the race. she has to keep the pace and she'll be fine. >> why is that that the bench is not deep? john you, why is that? is there this presumption that the electorate doesn't want
1:17 pm
another democrat in the white house? >> part of it is generational. in the sense if you look at the 2008 field, that was a good field. senator obama, senator clinton. >> jan edwards, joe biden, chris dodd. it was a credible field. part of it is generational. one of the things that's happened to buck's point, she's going to have to fill in the meat on what she means in the proposal. this is a week behind baseball the presidential campaign has its opening day, because now the republicans are responding. if she wants a middle-class agenda they'll have to engage her and debate the issues. this is why this 2016 race is so fascinating. you have a generational change. even though she is older than the sitting president, the americans don't usually go bam.
1:18 pm
so offense to her, she was 69 on election day. it's not a bad thing, but it doesn't happen very often that people go back. during the obama years, look at the house. the republican have a house majority post-word war ii high. they have 31 republican gonchors and so the democrats don't have a as big a bench as they used to because republicans have had so much success, yet the democrats have won the white house twice with huge electoral college wins so the country has almost two parallel universes, so you have republicans thinking the country is with us. you have democrats saying the country is with us.
1:19 pm
1:20 pm
or public work when she was secretary of state. that's interesting, because the very first person i talked to when i got on the ground here in way was a democrat who said essentially the very same thing, saying she would like to vote for hillary clinton but she has a lot of questions about openness and transparency and wants to hear from hillary clinton. we do expect hillary clinton early in the week here. we expect her to do some small sessions not unlike the listens sessions she did in new york when she was running for senate. we don't expect a big event for several weeks, we hear. and we do know her 5ids will already been here and in new hampshire, and the question of course is how are they going to approach this what we do know is hillary clinton from her video, it's going to be all about focusing on the voters making
1:21 pm
it clear that this is their election these are their issues and that it's not all about hillary clinton. so it will be interesting to see how all of this proceeds especially because she has such a large entourage, and sometimes very difficult to get into the maul intimate settings where you can really talk turkey with people. >> it's all about hillary clinton, at the same time it's not all about hillary clinton, especially with the video ad she makes it clear, at least a minute 30 in shows her, with a diverse crowd of people she's trying to appeal to. joe johns, i know i said good-bye and hello again, but really now it is good-bye. gloria john brian, buck maybe i'll just say so long because you just might be back soon. we'll be right back. sfwhoo across america, people are taking charge of their type 2 diabetes... ...with non-insulin victoza.
1:22 pm
for a while, i took a pill to lower my blood sugar but it didn't get me to my goal. so i asked my doctor about victoza. he said victoza works differently than pills and comes in a pen. victoza is proven to lower blood sugar and a1c. it's taken once a day, any time. and the needle is thin. victoza is not for weight loss but it may help you lose some weight. victoza is an injectable prescription medicine that may improve blood sugar in adults with type 2 diabetes when used with diet and exercise. it is not recommended as the first medication to treat diabetes and should not be used in people with type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis. victoza has not been studied with mealtime insulin. victoza is not insulin. do not take victoza if you have a personal or family history of medullary thyroid cancer multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2, or if you are allergic to victoza or any of its ingredients. symptoms of a serious allergic reaction may include swelling of face lips, tongue or throat
1:23 pm
fainting or dizziness, very rapid heartbeat problems breathing or swallowing, severe rash or itching. tell your doctor if you get a lump or swelling in your neck. serious side effects may happen in people who take victoza including inflammation of the pancreas (pancreatitis) which may be fatal. stop taking victoza and call your doctor right away if you have signs of pancreatitis, such as severe pain that will not go away in your abdomen or from your abdomen to your back with or without vomiting. tell your doctor about all the medicines you take and if you have any medical conditions. taking victoza with a sulfonylurea or insulin may cause low blood sugar. the most common side effects are nausea, diarrhea, and headache. some side effects can lead to dehydration, which may cause kidney problems. if your pill isn't giving you the control you need... ask your doctor about non-insulin victoza. it's covered by most health plans. bring us your baffling. bring us your audacious. we want your sticky notes, sketchbooks, and scribbles.
1:24 pm

1:25 pm
. turkey has recalled its envoy to the vatican coming in response to the pope francis's description of he had called the slaughter of up to 1.5 armenians the first genocide of the 20th century. >> translator: in the past century our human family has lived through three massive and unprecedented tragedies. the first widely considered the first genocide struck your own armenian people. >> joining us now via skype from pell ham, new york father edward beck. good to see you. so the hope was quoting from a 2001 declaration business pope john pawn ii and the head of the armenian church. would would turkey react this way? >> they don't like the term
1:26 pm
"genocide." they question the numbers, say it was not only christians killed except the fact remains that 22 countries have termed it a genocide. 43 states in the united states have passed resolutions to term it a genocide. it is before the house of representatives in the united states to term it a genocide. so turkey may be pushing back but the evidence seems to to be it was in fact genocide and. >> historically how well has the church gotten look with turkey. >> the history has been somewhat checkered, but right now you'll recalled in november pope francis visited turkey. there was an interfate ceremony. he met with religious leaders, including muslim leaders, they pledged to work together so he doesn't see this as anything that would -- today he was celebrated a mass to make a
1:27 pm
stain a doctor of the church. that saint was from armenia. so he said i am also going to talk about the martyrs, the 1.5 million people liquid there 100iers. we're coming up on the 100th anniversary. he wanted to bring those two things together and say christians are still being persecuted. we're still having this happen in syria and iraq. things have not changed. humanity must come together to make a change. that was his point in bringing it up. >> how do you suppose the pope might react now think hearing that turkey is not so happy. would he retract, reach out, apologize or simply let it be? >> i don't think he's going to retract anything. i think he's going to let it stand what he says. that what he believes. many others believe.
1:28 pm
turkey has recalled the vatican ambassador. they want a press conference to make a statement about it. they have yet to do that. you may have sensed already pope francis is not someone to backtrack. i don't think you can expect any retraction shuns at this point. >> thank you, fred. we'll be right back. the new s6 hits the stores and i'm like... whoa. open the box and... (sniffing) new phone smell. jump on a video chat with my friend. he's a real fan boy, so i can't wait to show this off. picture is perfect.
1:29 pm
i got mine at verizon. i... didn't. it's buffering right out of the box he was impressed. i couldn't be happier. couldn't see him but i could hear him making fun of me. vo: you waited this long for the s6 so why settle for anything less than verizon. meet the world's newest energy superpower. surprised? in fact, america is now the world's number one natural gas producer... and we could soon become number one in oil. because hydraulic fracturing technology
1:30 pm

1:31 pm
to his current treatment for moderate to severe alzheimer's. it works differently. when added to another alzheimer's treatment, it may improve overall function and cognition. and may slow the worsening of symptoms for a while. vo: namenda xr doesn't change how the disease progresses. it shouldn't be taken by anyone allergic to memantine, or who's had a bad reaction to namenda xr or its ingredients. before starting treatment, tell their doctor if they have or ever had, a seizure disorder, difficulty passing urine liver, kidney or bladder problems, and about medications they're taking. certain medications, changes in diet, or medical conditions may affect the amount of namenda xr in the body and may increase side effects. the most common side effects are headache, diarrhea and dizziness. he's always been my everything. now i am giving back. ask their doctor about adding once-daily namenda xr.
1:32 pm
today clinton releasing her ad about 90 minutes ago, featuring a diverse set of families and then clinton says she's running for president. it also outlines her broad economic message. she tells people she wants to earn their votes. chief political analyst gloria borger has more on the journey. >> unless you've been living on another planet for the last few decades, there's one political star that's been unavoidably present. >> not too many with the one name hillary, i guess a few others, but everybody knows hill hillary. >> maybe not as well as close friend terry mcauliffe but well enough to be a first-name basis, as in hillary, the young watergather committee lawyers, first lady of arkansas and first lady of the united states.
1:33 pm
hillary, senator from new york and presidential candidate. hillary, secretary of state and presidential candidate. >> i'm running for president. >> it was a decision that surprised absolutely no one, least of all old family friend and adviser paul begala. it's not just that i have to do this i have to make history, i have to be the big shot. >> she doesn't need it but she wants it. she's put a lifetime into herself? a way in preparation for it. >> it was clear even back at yale in the '70s when she met this fellow. >> i actually tried to talk hillary into leaving me when we were in law school. god's truth. you have more talent for public service than anybody in nigh generation that i haven't met, and i shouldn't stand in your way, and she laughed, and said oh bill i'll never run for
1:34 pm
office. >> she was the original good wife writing her own role. >> this would represent a right of every citizens. >> and public defender in chief. >> is this vast right-wing conspiracy. >> despite a brutal personal struggle. >> what did you learn about hillary clinton when you went through some of the tougher times. >> this was tough. it was about their family. she wanted to keep it about their family you know when tough times comes, she's able to deal with it deal with it herself, and is able to continue to move on. >> an essentially skill, says democrat bill daly who has managed both a presidential candidate and a white house. >> i don't know what they could say that hasn't been said about her in the past in a negative sense. she's got a pretty strong shield around her. >> it's a shield that can keep the voters at arm's length so that after all these years in
1:35 pm
the public eye, there's still something elusive about hillary clinton. >> people who have never met either of them have a very clear sense of bill clinton. they love them. they call him bill. would you like come and have a barbecue with us? with hillary, there is a distance. >> the plan is to have the voters meet the real hillary, the warm one. virtually one on one. >> nobody nobody i've ever seen is better at that. >> so they can finally see the woman her friends describe. >> a lot of fun, tremendous amount of fun. she's got a great belly laugh. she and i will sit out, you know on vacation talking policy might have a cocktail or two. she's a lot of fun to be with. >> i think she's a very complete person but i think the most important thing is what her experience has given her. we have men who come here for
1:36 pm
one or two years, get a few puff pieces and then they go out and run for president. >> that's a far cry from hillary clinton's long and sometimes controversial story. >> i suppose i could have stayed home and baked cookies and had teas. >> she comes with baggage. there are negative perceptions, the clintons are paranoid too protective t. came up during the whole controversy. will that matter? >> i think the misconceptions there are certain people that are fixed in those with those beliefs. you're not going to change them. what you have to do is basically talk to the future about what you want to do with the country. >> in in 2008 clinton ran on her resume. >> i will bring a lifetime of experience. >> and the campaign let the woman thing take a backseat. >> i do think the last time she ran, they tried very hard to keep it a secret. >> that she is a woman? >> right, that she's a woman. >> do you think the tug of history is very strong?
1:37 pm
>> i think she knows she carries the cause and if a very qualified woman can hold that job and perform well that's a big thing. >> do you think it will be harder for a woman to run for president, even in 2016? >> oh, i think it is harder and i think she knows it's harder and women are tested in ways that men are not. that's another discussion but --. >> it certainly is fred. i'm sure we'll be having that discussion at length as hillary clinton hits the campaign trail. don't you think? >> officially that's right. so i wonder if hillary clinton has steeled herself in anticipation for the scrutiny that she will be subjected to that no other candidate likely would, because she is a woman? >> yeah i think she has, because of a lot of things a, she's run before as a woman. she has talked to her friends
1:38 pm
how difficult that was, how she felt she is was judged you know by her hair what she was wearing, et cetera et cetera how people were often condescending, remember when john edwards said he didn't like the jacket she was wearing? so i think she steed herself, and maybe we're beyond that in 2016? diane fine tine may be absolutely right, but i also think she steeled herself for what we saw during the e-mail controversy. she saw what she went through there, and she's gf to go through it on a lot of issues not only the lingering question over the e-mails, but you know the questions over benghazi and lots of other things. >> and money to the clinton campaign and money to the foundation all of which, you know by the way are legitimate things to raise in a presidential campaign. she is a presidential candidate. she's going to get stuff thrown at her, and she's going to throw
1:39 pm
suv at other candidates like any other candidate. that's no the what we saw today. today was the high road and this is about you, and this is gauzy and hopeful, but she knows what it's like to run for president. that's why it's very often that people run a second time, because they figure they're better qualified to run. >> it seems that they have already revealed what they will be critical of her on things that will drive their campaign ads. might she expect toss same ink. >> i this is the challengers may come at her from the left not from the right. they're going to challenge her on whether she's too close to wall street you know, the elizabeth warren wing of the
1:40 pm
party, whether she's too establishment, whether she doesn't understand younger democrats or whether she is in fact too much of a captive of all the money she's going to raise, and whether she's too beholden to wall street too much a product of wall street and whether the foundation contributions are a conflict for her, all of that. so i think they'll come at her from the left and sheet get it from the right. gloria borger thank you so much. >> sure. we'll have much more from "newsroom" after this. le to sleep at night, and stay awake during the day. this is called non-24. learn more by calling 844-824-2424. or visit your24info.com. vo: with beyond natural dry pet food, you can trust our labels. when we say real meat is the first ingredient, it is number one. when we say there's no corn, wheat or soy

jet flying in international airspace north of poland when the russian jet intercepted it. a pentagon spokesman said the russian pilot acted unsafe and unprofessional because of close proximity and high rate of speed. matthew chance is following this story from moscow. is there a filing this was intentionally? >> reporter: i think it was certainly intentional and reflects the rivalry we're seeing in skies in international airspace in the u.s. and newly emboldened russian air defenses as well. remember over the course much the past 12 months or so we're hearing dozens of reports from the u.s. and nato as well about how their planes have had to be scrapped abled to intercept russian aircraft flying usually in international airspace but towards nato borders. this is the reverse of that. this was an american spy plane
1:53 pm
operating in international skies, in neutral skies, and to the -- in the western part towards the person borders of russia not actually crossing into russia a russian fighter aircraft was larged to intercept and came at a close distance indeed looking in the region of just 20 feet away from the american plane, this fighter plane came. it buzzed it very closely indeed. almost something like out of a movie. it reminds me of "top gun" and the rivalry and the cold war between the u.s. and soviet pilots. we're seeing something similar being played out in the skies over europe right now. matthew chance fascinating stuff. appreciate it. and we'll be right back.

1:57 pm
bill weir joining me now. so bill these are incredible images. i understand them. i used to live and work in the miami market so the whole notion of the beauty there in contrast with a lot of people with their exotic animals, and then they dump them there when it becomes a bit too much to handle. you helped focus on the issue of these pythons that are damaging the ecosystem there, at least interrupting it. >> it is. when the raccoons and possums and arm adilos even small deer began to disappear, they realized wait a minute there may be 100,000 of those massive, you know african or south american snakes swallowing these things. they had an open python hunt a few years ago to very mixed success. that's just one front in a war for nature there. the everglades a lot of people thought was a swamp full of snakes skeeters and gators in the '30s, '40s, '50s, we dug it
1:58 pm
up diked it and dug it and then things started to die. and now the same army corps of engineers that ripped it apart is putting it back so we wanted to see if they like to say it's a test. if they pass we might get to keep the rest of the planet. it's beautiful, though isn't it? this river of grass they call it right? i think many people don't realize once you go into the depths as you are here how much wildlife there is how rich it is. there is no other place like it in the world. the only place in the world that has alligators and crocodiles but also panthers bears, orchids and sponges and manatees and all this amazing web of life. it's not like yosemite or the grandcanyon and you go wow. it's a place that kind of grows on you. this episode more than any other
1:59 pm
destination really surprised me. i went in with such low expectations, but it's also a sign of hope. if we pull together and get things right, we can have wilderness and teeming humanity right next door. >> what surprised you? what was about the experience that was so eye opening. i saw a couple shots that they 150e78d to be close to you. they run pretty fast. what was so enlightning to you? >> well the history. it's an amazing back torrie of all the fighting went on from the seminole wars to the political fights as well but it was because i came in with such low expectations you fly down to see grandma or see the talking mouse and you think it's such a wasteland, but it's so complex, and so tied together with human life all the fresh drinking water in south florida comes from under the glaze, the aquifers so it's so vital to man and beast. >> beautiful images. that one right there not so
