myth. warning a president trump will make america and the world less safe. this is unprecedented what is going on. will it work? >> on the democratic side, a big update. the former hillary clinton staffer that set up her private e-mail server now accepting an immunity deal from the justice department to help with that fbi investigation. and good morning, sunlen.

>> reporter: mitt romney getting to go right after donald trump in a big way. the 2012 republican nominee speaking out today against the 2016 frontrunner, donald trump. he released his remarks this morning planning him to slam trumping, calling him a phoney and a fraud. >> go out and get 'em. you can do it. >> trump one time supported romney talked about the attacks. in his campaign releasing this paid ad questioning romney's conservative leadership. >> we have expanded the republican party. >> the feud coming as the frontrunner gets the cold shoulder from the gop. >> everybody get together so we

could keep this frontrunner from winning. >> ted and i are in the same party. donald trump, i don't trust him. >> trump continues to argue he is the one to unify the party. >> when you are dealing in congress, you have to get them into one room and say, let's go, it's for the good of the people. >> dr. ben carson pulling out of the debate after tuesday. >> if we lost texas, that would have been the end of the road and i don't think you can be a frontrunner if you can't run your own state. >> if you have been supporting

other candidates, we welcome you on our team, and if you have  been supporting donald trump, we really welcome you on our team. >> reporter: ted cruz with a subtle message to marco rubio, he has to win his state in order to do well, and all of this sets the stage for this to be the dynamic to drive the race. >> and we welcome our guests here. let's talk about what sunlen just laid out. mitt romney has become the de facto leader to take down trump. so he will be giving a speech,

and sunlen has a little. >> trump's domestic policies would lead to recession, he has neither the temperament or judgment to be president and his personal equalities would mean america would cease to be a shining city on a hill. how effective is this and mitt romney delivering it? >> the person saying it is one thing. the facts of it or the reality of it is something we should focus on. this is something trump's opponents have been saying now, and will somebody who is not running saying the same thing mean something different? i don't know. i think this is a powerful signal to them if you were thinking about going with trump or opposing trump, this is where

i, mitt romney, is coming from. >> he is not being motivated by insiders, and i want you to tell me if you think romney is the right messenger and if it's the right messenger? >> first of all, is it a little bit too late at this point to be delivering a message? it's a short period of time for the republican establishment to try and stop donald trump, although there's discussion going on here in washington and throughout the country about how they can do it. and there has been a vacuum at the top of the republican party and there has not been a unifying voice against donald trump, and we heard his rivals trying to take him down, ted cruz, marco rubio, kasich, and

they want to be the republican nominee, and now you have somebody stepping out to be the voice against trump, and this is a voice that could make or break donald trump, including the state of michigan where donald trump could do very well especially with white voters who do not have college degrees, and romney's father was from michigan. it's a point in time, but is it too late, chris? >> donald trump is not taking this message sitting down, and he is tweeting, not surprisingly. >> he says why can't the leaders of the republican party see that i am bringing in new voters by the millions, and i am creating a longer, stronger party. democrats, the voter turn out to date -- yeah, republicans have

58%, and they are more enthusiastic than ever before, and democrats 46%. and voter turn out to date, democrats, 2,650,000. >> he validated trump as a party king maker, and so trying to undo what he did or helped to do is interesting. it's true, trump is bringing out more people, and the republican establishment don't like who they are coming out for. >> we will see how it plays this morning, but it stands -- it stands against reason that going negative on trump is going to help you against trump. it has not worked for anybody else because people like what

they see in him and believe what they believe. nobody is offering anything better. is there a different analysis on those numbers alisyn just showed us? rubio and cruz is getting a lot of people, and isn't there a good chance if trump is not the nominee, they will be disenchanted and won't come out? >> that's a key number to look at, as a matter of fact. 50%, 60% of the people coming out want somebody out, and we have a large and growing list of in some cases members of congress, and sitting governors and other people saying, never trump, never going to vote for this guy. >> people that vote for cruz and rubio almost every time we measured it, don't pick trump in high numbers as a second choice, so that's where that would come

from? >> trump expanding a party, we need to understand what that means. if you have crossover candidates, that's a great thing, and are you getting people to register, and what is a trump republican? this is in formation. i only know of one trump republican, and that's the guy running for office. >> if, in fact, the premise is true and there is pandemonium inside the gop, what does this mean for the next couple of months? is everybody preparing for some kind of brokered convention? >> what is being discussed quietly here in washington, d.c. the first thing is we talked a lot about consolidation over the last couple of weeks. marco rubio trying to get ted cruz to leave the race and ted

cruz trying to get marco rubio to leave the case, and kasich trying to get everybody to leave the race. kasich goes to ohio, wins his own state, and he holds on to 66 delegates. as we march through the next couple of months what you are o doing is denying donald trump the delegates. and what they are trying to do is run a conservative candidate and the reason they are talking about this is to provide a safe haven for candidates running for the u.s. senate and house who do not want to align themselves to donald trump, and he might be too nuclear hot for them at that point and they feel having this candidate might protect the republican party in the long run if donald trump were to lose in

the general election, and they are talking about not showing up in cleveland if donald trump is the nominee. they don't know what to do, but they are trying to put it out on to the table tonight and figure it out. >> those are a lot of fascinating and desperate scenarios. stick around, panel, we will talk about the democratic race coming up. and granting immunity to a former state department staffer who set up hillary clinton's private server? >> this could be a step towards injecting transparencytranspare. it's a move that could once and for all get the questions about the state department e-mails answered that have been dogging

hillary clinton and her campaign. he was forced to invoke his right against self inkreupl nation due in no small part to an investigation. its common practice for lawyers to advise their clients to shut up until that deal is made. he is the former clinton staffer that helped her set up her e-mail server. they can now enter the part of the investigation to determine if any laws were broken. the clinton spokesman said they are pleased he is cooperating, and releasing a statement saying secretary clinton has also been cooperating with the justice department security inquiry, including offering in august to meet with them to assist their

efforts if needed. hillary clinton did receive e-mails from aides that were not marked classified but did contain information that should have stayed on the government's secure system. programming note, the next week is march madness with the next democratic debate in flint,michigan, and that's next tuesday, that's the next super tuesday night. wednesday brings another democratic debate in miami and thursday a republican debate in miami, and a full week of political events right here on cnn. we have very interesting information for you. we have done a poll and 58% say it is up to the president, president obama, to select antonin scalia's successor.

and two-thirds of americans think the senate should hold the confirmation hearings. cnn has learned the white house is vetting eighth circuit appeals court, judge jane kelly of iowa as a potential pick. north korea accused of shooting proskwrebg tiles after u.n. sanctions. the projectiles fell into the sea, and north korea has a history of showing their displeasure using this response. and scott kelly touching down in houston overnight, and reuniting with his family. kelly says he spent a lot of time reflecting on what it means

to serve the nation. >> this mission is the latest achievement in our country's space program, but it's not the last. there will be more. it's in our dna of our country to explore, and we must never stop doing this. we must lead. we must learn, and we must discover. >> kelly grew two inches in space, and they are going to closely study other health affects in zero gravity. >> good-bye, high heels. that would be the solution to me. >> women in droves are signing up -- >> do you think the zero gravity -- >> decompression. >> yeah, and he talked about the dna in the country. he is an identical twin, and they will be able to tell exactly what affect it had on

the e-mail scandal haunting hillary clinton's campaign is back in the spotlight this morning. the justice department granting immunity now to a former state department staffer that set up her private e-mail server. could this ramp up questions about trust already dogging the frontrunner? let's ask our senior adviser for a pro clinton super pac. good morning, paul. >> good morning. >> we know you are a hillary clinton supporter so you tend to see these things include rosy lenses, however, how big of a deal do you think this is? >> this should have been done months ago, and six months ago hillary offered to go and talk to investigators, because you

want to clear the decks and talk about issues that matter to voters. this guy has a right to get his immunity, and he can try and clear it up. it's a hiccup for her campaign but it's a huge difference from the ebola virus plaguing the other side. a fraud case, a civil fraud case brought about donald trump and donald trump university can't go forward, or new york attorney general suing my fraud, it's a bad deal for mr. trump? >> i hear you and you are doing a good job as a strategist, paul, but let's focus on hillary clinton's e-mails. this private staffer set up the

server in his home, he would know where the bodies are buried? >> what bodies? what's he going to say? >> i don't know. but why did he plead the fifth if there is nothing to hide? >> i have no idea. he should have -- well, i am -- i guess i am a licensed lawyer, but i am not advising him. he has that legal right. it's not politically helpful ask if you recall when this first came up, hillary clinton's campaign publicly called on him to testify and clear the decks on this. as a political matter, you want this over, you want everybody to cooperate and get this behind you, but he has a legal right and i shouldn't criticize him for alerting the legal right he has, it's just not politically helpful. >> this is what was tweeted out from hillary clinton's press secretary, we disagreed with his secretary not to answer

questions from the benghazi committee so we are pleased he is cooperating now. they say they are pleased, but pleased can't really be their only emotion because what they will probably ask him is why was it necessary to do that? it's out of the ordinary -- >> it's not out of the ordinary -- >> it is out of the ordinary to set up your private server. >> that's fine -- i love hillary, so i am biassed toward her, and she won 10 out of 15 primaries and won 4 million votes out of the 6 million that has been casts so far, and it has slowed her but not stopped

her towards the eventual presidency. which would i rather have? this e-mail problem? not great. or being sued for fraud. >> it has fought played out entirely in the voters' minds. here's an example, in the exit polling from the primary states, in oklahoma, the cnn exit poll it was asked about honest and trustworthy, sander wins 68% over clinton's 47%, and then it's 85% to 54%, and so don't you believe that's dogging the perception and voters being completely uncomfortable? >> yeah, she won massachusetts, and it's a close state and a state i would have bet on

bernie, to tell you the truth, but it's a problem, of course, and has it stopped her from winning? no, it hasn't. will it in november? i don't think so. the most important thing is to get it through the system. that's why this man -- he had the right, and this man taking the fifth has not helped hillary a bit, and they are not spinning you when they say they just want it cleared because it has to get through the system before you can have the election, and that will speed this along. >> thank you for being on "new day." hillary clinton and bernie sanders will square on in michigan on sunday night only here on cnn. video from a baltimore school is drawing outrage and questions. we have the story behind what this officer is doing to this young man, straight ahead.

officers are on administrative leave. it's hard to watch this video. >> it's hard to watch and very important for baltimore. only a few seconds long but causing shock waves in city like baltimore that is riddles with the community and police and the city that distrust him. this is the release of a release. in the five-second clip you can see a school officer yelling profanities while slapping a young man three times and kicking him while he walked away. >> as a parent of a baltimore city school student, i was appalled. the video was something you never want to see anyone treated

like that. >> the attorney for the youth says he's a tenth grader at the high school and was just trying to attend class. >> based on the evidence we have we are certain that he was a student that belongs at that school. >> the acting school police chief has a different story. >> our officers will call because of this intruder, and this happened after the officers escorted the two unknown citizens outside of the building. >> his client was told the teenager did not attend the school and the officer repeatedly asked him to leave. >> as a former building principal, and as a father, as a man, i was totally appalled by what i saw. >> baltimore city police and the states' attorneys office are investigating this particular case, and it is interesting that

baltimore has jumped on this so very quickly, really going after this case. >> they have to, don't they? >> and to be clear, baltimore city police and the school police are two separate agencies. >> of course, and we'll keep an eye on this. and we are talking about what is going on the democratic side, and the hillary clinton staffer who set up the private server now has immunity. that's next. with the... fastest retinol formula. ...to visibly reduce wrinkles. neutrogena®.

misunderstandings or possibilities, and i don't think the mere fact he is getting immunity signals something nefarious was going on. >> that is interesting. the hillary clinton campaign is saying, as we head, secretary clinton has been cooperating with the inquiry including meeting in august to assist in their efforts if needed. it's sort of convincing. they are saying hillary clinton, herself, offered to meet with the fbi and they have not taken her up on it. >> the closer this gets to the general the bigger the problem for the clinton campaign. sounds like the democratic race wrapped up at this point and i don't think it could hurt her going into the primary, but when it gets to the general you know it's going to come up with

republicans, and the more it goes on and drags out, the more it will hurt her. >> let's put up the numbers, from oklahoma, which bernie sanders won, and georgia, which hillary clinton won, and you will see she has the same problem in both places, trustworthiness. when she was secretary of state, her numbers were huge on the issue of trust and now not so much. what happened since then? she is running for president, and the e-mail scandal. i know about the fifth amendment, we all do, but it smells bad politically. >> she was a diplomat trying to travel the world and trying to build bridges for the country and that's why we saw her approval writirigh rating rise, she was running, we saw it collapsing.

in granting immunity for pagliano to accept the immunity, this could be good for the hillary clinton campaign, because if he refused to answer questions just the cloak would cause concern and perhaps think there's more to it than there is. for this investigation, it's going to come down to was this a criminal activity or was this just the clintons basically saying do as i say and not as i do. >> this is one person that says he will make this a campaign issue, and donald trump said this is a very big deal. listen to donald trump. >> we are never going to let this e-mail thing die, because frankly what she did was break the law, viciously break the law and many other people were prosecuted for it and went to

jail and she is out there running like nothing happened. >> when donald trump paints you a certain way, sometimes it sticks. >> it sticks whether or not it's accurate. i would like to hear who these other people are talking about and what the real analogy is going on here, and donald trump is being sued and facing his own probe based on what he did with trump university. it's not going to be a clean mud-free campaign in the fall, and i think that's pretty clear. >> he's not the measure i don't think on this particular issue, and that is exists, that's what he does is go after your personal weaknesses. but how does it affect the race for bernie sanders, and he has a solid constituency, and it's a nagging concern about the electability factor for hillary clinton to some democrats at least, and how should sanders

play it and what does it mean for him? >> he gave it away -- >> then he went back. he said, he was tired of having about the e-mails and then he went back, and said it was a serious matter and needs to be investigated. >> if you are a democrat and worried about the e-mails you are already supporting bernie sanders. if you don't trust her you are already if the bernie sanders's camp, so as far as him expanding his base because of this, i don't see that. >> does he seize on this and does that help him invigorate? what are his next moves? >> we see the clinton campaign now trying to run as the prohibited favorite to win the democratic nomination. i spoke to one of his advisers yesterday about this, and they feel they blew a little hole

through her so-called super tuesday wall in a sense they were able to pick up states and they did not pick up southern states and they got smoked certainly with the african-american vote. what they are saying is they continue to win contests and amass delegates all the way through, and they are right. if you look at the math mattics and how democrats choose their nominee, she wouldn't be able to lock it up until may anyway. bernie sanders doesn't have to leave and has the money to stay in the race, but will we hear him talk about e-mails? probably not. will he talk about policy positions? i suspect that's where he will be. >> panel, thank you very much. you owe -- you always give us great tidbits.

>> he was scoping out a gym in the seattle area that he was interested in buying, and while he was looking in the windows of the closed gym, two employees that were inside called the cops saying he was trying to rob the place. the police showed up and they quickly recognized chancellor, and he wtook to twitter. i work for everything i get, and he added he will not be buying a gym in that area anymore. and then no word on when baxter will join the tour. you have to check this out. 11-year-old crosier had a hole in one, and so did tiger woods, and he ran over and he was going

could do. i don't know, is it for me personally a good thing, a bad thing, will i get more or less votes? nobody knows. who knows, and it's for our vets and you will like it because it was we raised $5 million in one day. >> who got it? we went to the campaign early on, and what prompted this was we talked to one of the spokes people and she said it was on the website and i didn't find it. what did you find out? >> we didn't find it on the website or from the donald trump campaign, so we called each recipient, and we got an accounting of $800,000 confirmed. only 500 of which, chris, actually came from trump. the other 300 came from a trend

of trump. there are seven organizations that either say they got something but wouldn't confirm or wouldn't confirm at all, and the others did not respond to us. one did say they didn't get anything. right now all we can say, more than a month after this event, we can only account for $800,000 of the supposed $6 million raised. >> do we have an idea of whether the campaign was sending in the checks or did they say you take care of it yourself? >> donald trump, he said he would pitch in a million dollars and we don't know where that is right now. we have been asking and other news organizations is asking about where is the accounting of it. it's not high math when you are dealing with $6 million in

donations. a charity navigator, one of the groups that follows charities says the money should be disbursed by now. we continue to ask but get no answers. >> and the pledges depend on people delivering what they promised. this is what the spokesperson said about it when i asked her on "new day." they want to see where the money went from the big event, the $6 million. they want to see which groups got it and how it was allocated, and i couldn't find it on the site. >> there is a list on the website, and i think it was 22 or 23 organizations that received the money. i just saw an article yesterday of one of the organizationed that received a $100,000 check and they were surprised and there was an article that is

coming up of those receiving the checks and the list is on the website. >> just to be clear, you didn't see it and i didn't see it on the website, and the campaign won't say the otherwise. >> we had to call the groups, and some did get it and they were happy about it, and some groups saying it's a stunt, a politician using veterans as a prop, and some say they don't want the money and they are unconvinced about trump's voice for it, and the disabled americans voiced concerns this was a political stunt, not making a political charge against trump, but these veterans groups have heard this many, many times, and they quite frankly are being tired for politician's gains but not their own. all we want to know, where is the money? this is not hard.

trump deals with big dollars all the time. this is the same thing we have seen in other charities we investigated. we get a lot of confusing answers and you not a lot of hard facts and numbers of the accounting of this. >> drew griffin, thank you for staying on this for us. appreciate it. >> what do you think about this situation? tweet us on newday, or on our facebook. we cannot elect someone who is trying to carry out a con job. >> it's a very dangerous time for republicans. >> this is serious business. >> the staffer that helped set up hillary clinton's private

e-mail server is ready to talk. >> together we build the future. >> it is a tough fight and we knew that from the beginning. new images found along the shore of mow sam beak. >> one of the biggest aviation mysteries. good morning, everyone. welcome to your "new day." there is turmoil in the republican party and its reaching a fever pitch. mitt romney will call out trump in his strongest language yet. in a speech today, romney will warn a trump presidency will make america and the world less safe. trump is responding this morning. >> is insulting trump going to change anything? most of the remaining gop candidates are preparing to take him on in their last debate tonight. meantime, a former hillary

clinton staffer that set up her private e-mail server just accepted immunity from the justice department to cooperate with the fbi's investigation. let's go to sunlen. >> reporter: mitt romney set to speak in just a few hours in utah about the divided republican field, and get ready, romney will go right after donald trump in a big way. the 2012 republican nominee speaking out today against the 2016 frontrunner, donald trump. romney releasing part of his prepared remarks this morning, planning to slam trump, calling him a phoney and fraud, and putting his support squarely behind ted cruz, marco rubio, and john kasich. >> go out and get 'em. you can do it. >> reporter: trump anticipating the attacks, and he says looks like two-time field candidate

mitt romney will be telling candidates how to get elected. not a good messenger. >> we have expanded the republican party. >> reporter: the feud coming as the front runner gets the cold shoulder from gop leaders after sweeping seven states on super tuesday. >> everybody get together so we can get together. >> ted and i are in the same party. donald trump, i don't trust him. >> reporter: trump arguing he is the one to unify the party. >> when you get to congress, you have to get them in a room and say let's go, it's for the good of the people. >> reporter: tonight four candidates will participate in the debate, and ben carson pulling out. >> if we lost texas, that would

have been the evened of the road. i don't think a candidate has a viable path forward if you can't win your home state. >> reporter: cruz trying to make carson's loss his gain, extending an invitation to supporters of other gop hopefuls. >> if you have been supporting another candidate, we welcome you on our team. if you have been supporting donald trump, we really welcome you on our team! >> reporter: you saw ted cruz there really put some not so subtle pressure on marco rubio to do well in his home state on march 15th or else, and certainly this will be one of the big dynamics that drives tonight's debates. >> the big question is, can you get at trump by just attacking him or does somebody have to offer something better? let's bring in david kochal. very relevant this morning, sir,

on the verge of hearing about the big speech from romney. he is going to use harsh language, fraud, scammer, those types of words. is this the right message from mitt romney especially given what he said about trump before. let's play what he said in 2012. >> there are some things that you just can't imagine happening in your life, and this is one of them, being in donald trump's magnificent hotel and his endorsement is a delight and i am honored and pleased to have his endorsement. >> honored and pleased and now saying bad things about him. just plain politics? how does it work? >> we are learning more about donald trump has the campaign goes on and governor romney watched this campaign unfold and some of the triggers donald trump is hitting in the american people and it turned into a nasty and divisive campaign.

i think what we can expect from mitt romney today, and i have not talked to him but we won't be embarrassed to let our kids listen to it like we have by some of the things donald trump has said in the campaign. >> you know the system and gain, and the idea of going negative and not giving people a reason to believe something better than what donald trump is offering, what do you think that's worth? >> we have to hear what he has to say. he almost got 61 million votes in 2012, and he earned the right to say whatever he wants, and he is a statesman in the party and he's a statesman in the country, and he loves america and that's why he ran for president, and i would like to wait and listen to his message, but we have other candidates listening, obviously. there's a lot of time between

now and march 15th, another 700 delegates getting chosen and donald trump only won 40% of the delegates so far, and he has a long way to go to convince that he is the right person -- >> he has done some convincing because you are all in a teuzy he is going to get the nomination, and that's what is prompting this frenzy of activity. and he is responding the way a batter would to a 60-mile-per-hour ball down the plate. listen to his tweets he put out alone. failed mitt romney who ran one of the worst races in the country is working with the establishment to bury a big r win. and jeffrey lord, are you joining us now? sorry to get you out of bed.

>> i am, sir. >> do you believe mitt romney can put a dent in donald trump? >> no, in fact i think he's on donald trump's payroll. this is a wonderful thing. yes, please do that. >> you seem like you are in a little state of shock, jeffrey? >> i like mitt romney, but sadly, i mean, this is just typical, typical of the republican establishment. ronald reagan handed over to the republican establishment a party with three presidential wins, two for reagan and one for gorge h.w. bush as his successor, and they ran it into the ground and romney is the latest example of this. not smart and no idea what they are doing, clueless.

all this is going to do is encourage people to remember why exactly the republican establishment is so clueless. >> isn't the best bet at this point that you want to say to the delegates that already voted to donald trump, they are just pledged, and primaries are different than a general election. when you vote in a primary, you are doing a number selection of who gets to go and caucus at a convention for a candidate, and wouldn't you want to speak to the candidates and make a better case or do you think insulting away will make a better difference? >> jeb bush said you can't insult your way to the presidency, and people need to explain why is donald trump the worst candidate against hillary clinton when you are polling, and some that left the race already do better against hillary clinton than donald trump.

you are seeing the party being torn apart, and it's not because of mitt romney or other people running in the case, and it's donald trump, and he brought a tone to this campaign that is very divisive and negative, and it's alienating a lot of voters, not just hskwrujust hispanics a and what we are concerned about is the general election. mitt romney ran against an incumbent president, and that's a difficult thing. with donald trump running the weakest among the field, i think it bodes poorly for our party in november. >> is donald trump the destruction of the gop? >> chris, ronald reagan ran against an incumbent spread and carried 44 states. this is pathetic. this is very sad. they have no idea what they are doing. i mean, again, he's a lovely person, but this is

incompetence. >> do you get why they are rejecting him? >> why the establishment is rejecting donald trump? >> yes. >> sure, sure. i get this. because they don't like to win, yes. absolutely. it's not just mitt romney, it's john mccain. you go all the way back to bob dole and gerald ford. yes, they have no idea what they are doing. it's very sad. good luck to mitt romney, but, you know, this is -- they prove to be -- he proved to be a terrible candidate for president. that's a fact. >> at some point -- let's put up the time cover here, david. we are showing this time cover, all of these boxes checked that have different descriptions of what trump is. bully, showman, demagogue, party crasher. the only box that has not been

checked is 45th president of the united states. the message in the cover is simple. yeah, he is all these things that some people think are good or bad, but it's getting him to where he needs to be. do you think there will come a time, if this doesn't work, this flush of trying to get rid of him that they have to embrace him and maybe the party is different now, and maybe it's more about what trump is selling than what you were selling before? >> i don't think we have ever seen an election, at least in my lifetime and i have been doing this for 30 years, where you win on a message of fear and anger. the only message that can win a presidential election is one of hope and opportunity and a brighter future, and i don't think that's what he is selling. i think he is selling anger and divisiveness, and what he is going to do, he is going to build a wall around the white house and the republicans are not going to be able to get in and the gop is going to get stuck with a tab for long time. >> thank you very much for weighing in on this, gentlemen,

appreciate it. the former staffer that set up hillary clinton's private e-mail server will speak to fbi investigators after accept bg an immunity offer from the justice department. could this spell trouble for hillary clinton. joe johns is live in washington for us. >> republican critics are calling this an ominous development, but it can be seen as a step towards injecting transparency into the issue of the state department e-mails on the private server of the former secretary of state. it could for once and for all get answers for questions that have been dogging hillary clinton and her campaign. pagliano, it's common practice for lawyers to advice clients to shut up in situations like this until some arrangement can be made. he's now free to talk to federal investigators without threat of prosecution as long as he sticks

to the truth. pagliano is the former clinton staffer that helped her set up her e-mail server, and investigators found clinton received information that was not marked as classified but should have been kept inside the secure system, and now that federal investigators secured his cooperation they can make progress in the part of determining whether any laws were broken, and a major question investigations like this is whether anybody knew they were transmitting classified information. the clinton campaign has been saying all of this needs to get out in the open, and the spokesman releasing a statement saying secretary clinton has been cooperating with the department inquiry including offering to meet with them, and one said hillary clinton could be wounded as a candidate by this. >> thank you for that.

the next week is march madness here on cnn. it begins sunday with the next democratic debate in flint, michigans. that's followed by a series of "race to the white house." a week full of political events here on cnn. a piece of debris is set to be sent to analysis. cnn correspondent, david mckenzie, is live. >> reporter: this american tourists has been looking for any clues for mh 370. he found this object off on the indian ocean, which appears to

be from a plane. he handed it into authorities here and they are investigating whether it could be part of mh370. take a listen. >> what went through my mind when i found it is that this is something that could be part of an airplane and could be part of that airplane. you say, well, how could it possibly have wound up here? that's like asking how could nay one possibly win the lottery. somebody is going to win it. >> reporter: the lottery he is speaking about is the currents that come from east to west that could bring debris, and u.s. officials saying it could be possibly the plane, but we saw that piece, and here are images of it in this building behind me, civil aviation authorities being very cautious saying it possibly could be from a smaller

plane, but not saying definitively yet, they have to examine it. >> stay on it for us and let us know what the developments are. in other news, alabama officer being charged with the murder of an unarmed black man. smith killed a 58-year-old man as he was walking home late at night. officials initially said he was holding something, and others say the charges are politically motivated. watch this, and this is caught on camera. the workers worked together to chain their truck to the front door and tear it off and they swarmed inside of the store. police say they got away with as many as 50 weapons. >> i am always shocked with anybody thinks to rob a gun store. people even tried to get into a gun range. you have to guess that so many people in there will also be

armed. >> you would think. >> but this time they got away with it. a possible roadblock on hillary clinton hillary clinton's road to the nomination. john king is here to talk about it next. behind it. for those who've served and the families that have supported them, we offer our best service in return. usaa. we know what it means to serve. get an insurance quote and see why 92% of our members plan to stay for life.

the e-mail controversy dogging hillary clinton's campaign. the justice department granting immunity to the former staffer that set up the private e-mail server. and here to speak with us about it, john king. great to have you here in the studio. let's talk about this, former of the op i.t. staffer, he can speak freely to the fbi. how big of a deal? >> it is a big deal, and if you are a hillary clinton, you should be nervous and happy. you should be nervous because they are getting into the nuts and bolts of it now, but the guy that set it up, what did they

talk about? the fbi will have the guy on the ground when they installed this. step back for a minute, and republicans saying this is a sign of the coming indictment, and everybody take a breath. hillary clinton, she has a debate and she will have to answer about this, and republicans hit her every day, and if she is confident that she did nothing wrong, it's a good thing for her. this is common investigations, you cut deals with two or three, four level strategies. >> to alisyn's point, he was always free to speak freely to the investigators. he didn't want to until he got immunity, and even though the fifth amendment is large everywhere in our society's laws, it doesn't smell good? >> no, and it's a common practice, and you know the law very well. it's a pretty common tactic, cut

a deal with the people who are not central to the investigation to get the information you need for the investigation. you are right, especially in the political environment, it's a great headline for the other side, but let's see when we get to the end what the fbi says. >> the hillary clinton campaign says they are pleased because this means it's coming to an end, and they say she offered to speak to the fbi but they did not take her up on it. >> she is in a tough box. number one, i hope she is fully transparent and i hope everybody would say, come and i'll answer questions, and she's hostage to their schedule and that's life and what can you do at this point? i assume in their camp, they want it done and to get it over with. >> i will save you a call to the hillary clinton, she is subject

to the investigation, and not subject of. isn't the revolt what trump is bring into the party, right now this new blood and new thought about what they should be about and isn't that why he is winning? why is the establishment not embracing his success? >> well, there are two ways to look at it, well, 100 ways, but to the point you make, if you have a new business and all of a sudden you have new customers, you should be happy, and all these people flooding the polls, and you should think it's great, and that part about trump is good for the republican party. however they have zero confidence he would govern as a conservative or would do anything he said, and zero confidence he can run a presidential campaign, and there are candidates for the senate and house, and in the middle of

october trump does something trumpian, and they are wiped out. >> something interesting is happening this morning. mitt romney, the 2012 gop nominee is giving a speech at the university of utah in a couple hours and using his strongest language yet to call out trump. trump is a phoney, a fraud, and his promises are as worthless as a degree from trump university and he is playing the american people as suckers, and he gets a free ride to the white house and all we get is a free hat. >> when you talk to republican voters, they dislike distrust,

and sometimes their own establishment more than president obama. they think their establishment gave them the shaft, and they increased the house majority, and what did we get? in a way this plays into trump. i have a great deal of respect for romneys as a public servant, and he's the former nominee of the republican party, and it's clear for us for months that donald trump was waiting. can they take the trophy away from him? they spotted him 40 points and now they are trying to take it back. >> lots of people scream, run, forrest, run. in the numbers, we see popularity of enthusiasm among them up big. the argument is that enthusiasm can cut both ways. those voting for rubio and cruz

rarely list trump as a second choice, and often say i would not vote for trump. is there a chance that that whole group moves away from them in the general election and that's why it doesn't come out or maybe some of them switch and that's why they are worried about trump? >> we are early in a chapter, and there's some talk of people running a third-party conservative, and what would that do to the dynamic? we don't know the answers. some people in the establishment are trying to embracement and say tone it down and we can make it work. the tug awa war will continue f a while. if all of your voters are saying we want this guy, enough people are starting to say, okay, this is crazy but let's strap ourselves on the bull and get through november and win or lose we try to keep the voters in the

end. there's a chance that the party and lincoln and reagan could fracture and become pick up sticks. to the point earlier, yeah, they lost by picking dole and mccain, and knowing how it was going to go, and it's chaos now. donald trump is a quarter of the way to clinching the delegates, and this is my point, the establishment keeps saying on march 15th, when there are 360 delegates at stake it becomes winner take all, big states like florida, that's when they are going to get him. if you wait until march 15th, you are conceding him another 80 or 100 delegates or so you are conceding another touchdown or field goal. you cannot wait. marco rubio should be able to win in some of the places, and ted cruz, he should be able to win, and if they can't win, the

math is overwhelming. hillary clinton and bernie sanders square off on their next debate sunday night at 8:00 p.m. eastern only here on cnn. you know donald trump really touched a nerve with the comments about the kkk and is speaking out about it again this morning. were his comments part of his strategy, though? xerox personalized employee portals help companies make benefits simple and accessible... from anywhere. hula dancing? cliff jumping! human resources can work better. with xerox. which allergy? eees. bees? eese. trees? eese. xerox helps hospitals use electronic health records so doctors provide more personalized care. cheese? cheese! patient care can work better. with xerox. that's it.

unequivocally disavowed the kkk and david duke in his strongest language. listen to this. >> i will tell you what i meant. you don't know, i know. i never met david duke. i never met him, but i certainly would not have anything to do with him or the kkk, and everybody knows that, and i say, how many times do i have to disavow. right after that i tweeted that i disavow any endorsement of anything of david duke. >> that is four days after what happened on sunday where he was given an opportunity three times to disavow and he demyrrhed, but today that is the strongest yet. what do you think of the timing or statement that he says i would have nothing to do with him? >> it's rather curious after he was given an opportunity, ample opportunity to deny on sunday he didn't, and now a couple days after super tuesday.

it's a brilliant rhetorical strategy on the part of donald trump given the southern states that were in play on super tuesday, and his attempt to reach out to him resonating profoundly with a republican strategy of the southern strategy, where southern republicans attempting to rest the party early on in the '50s and '60s back from control reached out to white voters, and it seems to me donald trump's drawing a line in the stand between what he said then and what he is saying now plays to that same strategy. now that super tuesday is over, he can say i don't truck with that guy, but when it was a play in super tuesday, there was very questionable ambiguity surrounding his stance, visa vie, david duke. >> david duke has a theory about how he thinks he helped donald

trump. >> don't you think your support of trump will hurt him? >> well, let me tell you, after this came out, it was massive news for three days and jumped 12 days in the polls. it didn't hurt donald trump. >> do you agree with david duke, he waited long enough for it strategically for it to work, whatever that means, for super tuesday? >> david duke makes an excellent point there. it allowed him to seem if he was try to go investigate the sources, though he need not investigate long. on the other hand, he waits long enough after the results of super tuesday are in to disavow him, and he is having his cake and eating it, too. >> this is not the first time race has come up in presidential politics and it happens all the time. how do you think this year plays against some other famous years,

say, 1988 with ducacus and the willie horton ad, or maybe '76, ronald reagan talking about welfare queens. where do you rank this year? >> it's pretty rankirus. the sub texture of race flared up here and there. the willie horton ad was bad and some say it lost ducacus his presidency, his attempt to counteract what it was saying about him, and he was soft on crime, and ronald reagan himself, of course, choosing to start one of his presidential races in philadelphia, mississippi, identifying with the very state and very city where three civil rights workers were found murdered, so the

implicit politics of race flared time and again, and in this instance with donald trump being the frontrunner, and he has benefited with the implicit politics of race is offended by the fact that donald trump is allowing these things to surface explicitly. he is playing it safe. donald trump is beautiful and straightforward, at least the people he draws to him, and as a result of that, all sides are shaken up a bit. >> that's interesting. you think it's the difference between explicit and implicit. but doesn't it possible the country changed and made progress and people are not as comfortable with all the ensign yaoations as they used to be? >> given the numbers of donald trump, and it's clear there's a

great quarter, at least half of the country that has not changed and resistant to black presidency that is consciously disposed against obama -- >> it's not half the country supporting donald trump right now. >> half the country i am talking about, is not who is supporting donald trump, it's about the kind of racial discord that we see manifest in the country and the disgruntlement, and some of it is ideological and political and some has a racial overlay, so i am suggesting there's a huge civil war going on in america, and it's broader than the trump campaign. >> always great to get your perspective. thanks for being on "new day." what is your take on this topic. tweet us @newday. has a piece of mh370 been

passengers. there's a brand-new book out this week, it's called "the vanishing of flight mh370." let's talk about this piece of debris. what exactly are we looking at? is it easy to tell at first glance? >> no, because at first glance what they found off the coast is what they believe to be part of the horizontal stabilizer of a plane. >> a plane. >> it has the words "no step," but the size of the font of that is perhaps more akin to a small plane rather than a large 777, and it has the rivets on it and we manage to identify the riv s rivets, and they say it's the sort of rivt and they say it's

from aviation. >> this is the second piece that is raising suspicions, because we saw another piece found the reunion islands, right? that was indeed part of mh370. >> you have reunion island over there, and this latest piece is 1,300 miles from that, and it's within the entire area of where you would expect it. >> except you have madagascar in the middle of it. >> yeah, that's the difficulty in it. it's not a straight line all the way from where the indian ocean is. >> it can work that way?

>> yes, it could have taken it that way. >> all of this is a far cry, thousands of kilometers from the search zone where we know the task force is currently searching and have been for sometime, and does that fit their models? >> yes, the search authority of the australian transportation safety board and they put out a statement overnight saying yes, the drift models do concord, and you can see on the map across the ocean, that's the exact sort of thing that would have happened. the circumstances -- the circumstantial evidence is correct. the issue is whether the factual evidence bears that, and we won't know that until it's investigated by the best in the business. >> you had a chance to speak to the man that was instrumental in finding this piece. let's listen to what he said

about what he thinks. >> i just knew when i saw it that it possibly could be, and that it was important to get it into the hands of the local authorities, and the authorities in australia who are doing the search, the malaysians who are responsible for it. i just knew that it needed to be processed and it is being right now, and it needs to be sent to the specialists to identify what it is. it could be from 370 and it could be from any of those other planes that crashed in the area. >> it's interesting to hear his perspective, obviously. we know in the book you wrote about the aftermath of the crash, and there was a lot of what are we going to do about aviation? what are the changes that need to be made? these were some of the suggested changes? >> regular reporting of aircraft

position, absolutely. and the international authority says planes must report or will do in the fullness of time every 15 minutes. and frankly, that's still not enough. many global carriers are down to two, three and four minutes. but 15 minutes is the limit. and then if the plane does something unusual, the black box data is sent to the satellite. we are a long way from that. >> really? >> yeah, no real movement on that. >> that surprised people that was not being done to begin with. >> the reality is, many pilots, not all, but many are against it. they have the ability to switch them on and off in case they need to. and this is the big one, extend the life of the emergency locater beacons. that has been in the rules coming down the road for years. >> yes. >> for years! they have to get on and do it because then you don't have this

(applause) we now know that it was closer than even thought for ted cruz in terms of whether to stay in the race or not. given what happened on super tuesday. he wound up winning three state, enough to continue going forward. but what does it mean about the path ahead to catch trump? to overtake trump? to deal with him on an delegate

sflefl to deal with him tonight at the debate? is that where it starts? big questions. we have iowa republican congressman steve king to answer them. can you confirm what we have heard from the cruz camp that if he had lost texas he was out? >> well i can't confirm that from hearing it from ted cruz. i picked that information up the same way you did i think. what we saw happen though was of course he had a big win there and as you watch the states that matter to two of the other candidates, that is what this comment means to them. can you carry on if you lose your home state to marco rubio, to john kasich. and it looks to me that if i were in this race and i were running for president and i had lost iowa, i'd have a hard time making the argument that the people that know me the best. >> kansas, kentucky, louisiana, maine this weekend.

you still get proportionality but really louisiana is the only one he's registering. he was supposed to clean up flt south. are things getting better for him or worse? >> i think the path is becoming more clear. and this saturday, i see that as the seminal date that makes this race shake up and change. but ted cruz has stayed on the heels to a degree of donald trump. he's in a solid second place. the south didn't work out as well as one had planned. i think we'll come out of saturday a strong second place with trump leading in delegates. and with eyes on the march 15th date. and i think there will be a lot of sweat popping out on the browes of marco rubio and john kasich as to whether they can win their home states and illinois too that day. >> race for second isn't going to cut it as you know. march 15th.

florida, illinois, missouri, north carolina. ohio. >> it's what changes on that date and it sure looks like it is going to be hard for rubio to win florida. looks like a difficult task for kasich in ohio. so by the standards you heard from the cruz campaign if you don't win your home state it is hard to stay in. that means after march 15th. most likely as the two-man race and ted cruz has led in all polls ive seen in head to hed with donald trump. >> the question is how is he doing in terms of aspect os gathering a bigger tent? there is a theory that winning in iowa may have cost him the overall race because of what happened in iowa because of what was seen as dirty tricks. we have carson's super pack chair on cruz saying some people

are so angry at cruz they could spit nails. they wouldn't support him if he were the last guy on earth after what he did to us. and part of what they kid of course you had a hand in that. you had a tweet in that that suggested carson was out of the race. people looked at that as the dirty trick. do you think you got a little bit of gain in the moment but it is going to cost you now? >> in the end i trust the voters and i trust them to be objective. go to my website. we have a timeline on that and a narrative that tells the whole story. ted cruz knew nothing about it. there was no information provided out of the cruz campaign essentially anything other than the copy and paste or objective forward of information that came out of the news media. and what i nut was subjective. >> a smart move given that cnn

did not report what the cruz campaign said he did. >> and i'll take issue with that and neither did steve king. >> steve king said looks like carson's out. >> looks like, looks like. and when ted cruz ask for rick tyler's retirement. within five minutes the news is reporting krooz had fired him. >> you sent the tweet to tell people who might be going for carson, looks like he's out. go for cruz. >> and cnn reported. they reported carson was going to skip new hampshire new hampshire and south carolina and go to florida for r and r. and i said looks like carson is out. and right behind the time i said is a the equivalent of suspending the campaign. these were all objective and it was in the meet of the battle and i went to ben carson and i said i regret this happened and sorry it happened to your campaign. knowing what i knew now i wouldn't have done anything. knowing what i knew then, i was compelled to do the same thing.

it was a decision making process. >> i respect you coming full circle on that one and addressing it here on "new day" as you do every time. congressman king. thank you for being on. >> thank you chris. so we have these developments that are going on on both sides of this race and they are big. so let's get to it. 6 -- captions by vitac -- www.vitac.com

>> this is "new day" with chris cuomo, alisyn camerota and michaela pereira. good morning. welcome to your "new day." wednesday march 3, 8:00 in the east and the republican part is in a state of disarray. efforts to stop trump reaching a fever pitch. mitt romney is coming out this morning, the 2012 nominee. he's going take trump on directly in a speech and we now know he's going to use words like phony and a fraud. will that work against donald trump or proof that he's unstoppable. >> most of the remaining republican field is set to square off in their latest debate. and meanwhile a former hillary clinton staffer, the one who set up her private e-mail server now

accepting an immunity deal to cooperate with the fbi's investigation. let's begin coverage with sunlen surfati in overland park, kansas. what's the latest. >> reporter: today mitt romney will completely unload on donald trump. according to an early look at his speech, romney will call trump a phony a fraud and someone who is just trying to play the american people as suckers. the 2012 republican nominee speaking out against the 2016 front runner donald trump. rom releasing part of his prepared remarks this morning, planning to slam trump, calling him a phony and fraud and putting his support squarely behind ted cruz, marco rubio and john kasich. >> go out and get him. you can do it. >> trump who once endorsed romney, anticipating the attacks tweeting last night looks like

he's going to be telling republicans how to get elected. not a good messenger. in his campaign releasing this paid ad questioning romney's conservative leadership. the feud coming as the front runner gets the cold showeder from gop leaders. after his sweeping seven state victory on super tuesday. >> everyone get together so we can keep this front runner from winning. >> lindsey graham suggesting he's so against trump he would now even support ted cruz. >> ted and i are in the same party. donald trufr is interloper. i don't trust him. >> reporter: trump insisting we are going for the party. >> and it's for the people. >> reporter: ben carson pulling out after tuesday's results after ted cruz admits his campaign could have met the same

fate. >> if we had last texas that would be the end of the road. >> reporter: cruz trying that make carson's loss his gain. extending invitation to supporters of other gop hopefuls. if you have been supporting another candidate, we welcome you on our team. if you have been supporting donald trump, we really welcome on you on our team. >> reporter: now donald trump is already out this morning. something of a prebuttal of what romney will say later today calling him a stiff and taking to twitter saying quote, why did romney beg me for my endorsement four years ago and adding this i am not a mitt romney who doesn't know how to win. hillary wants no part of trump. >> and let's bring in katrina pearson. national spokesperson for the

campaign. and tim miller. great to have you both. just a couple of hours from now mitt romney will be giving this speech at the university of utah and going farther than he has in terms of the strong language against trump. just to remind everyone what he plans to say. he's going to stay there are some things -- sorry. he's going say here is what i know. donald trump is a phony a fraud. his promises are as worthless as the degree from trump university. he's playing the public for suckers. he gets a free ride to the white house and all we get is a lousy hat. tim, how effective do you think this will be coming from mitt romney? >> well the pundits decide that. but he's right on when it comes to the facts. donald trump throughout his career is not looked out for regular folks. he's taken advantage of them in order to enrich himself. trump university which we have an ad up on now is a prime example of that. and while talking about mitt

romney, i want to read one thing katrina said about him in 2012. he's dodging taxes like he's dodgingers and the grand camance. donald trump should release his tax returns. he's claiming he's being audited and shown no proof. my bet is he paid a very very low tax rate and he's hiding this from the american people. and if katrina thought mitt romney should release his returns i'd like to know why donald trump won't release his. >> that is one angle christina. you can respond to that. >> katrina pearson will say in 2016 that donald trump should release his tax returns on the same date that mitt romney did. but this is what's really -- >> -- >> we have a candidate here in mitt romney who lost to the guy who lost to the guy who lost to

obama now giving everyone a lecture on who they should support. we have a guy who's giving a speech and saying all of these horrible things about donald trump when he couldn't even bring himself to criticize barack obama. we have a party that has left its people years ago. they have lost twice in a row and now the people are tired of it and will fundamentally reject the party from here on out. this will add to the frustration on the republican base. >> it is interesting to look back at how people have changed their opinions over the years. and if you look back at 2012 that was when mitt romney was grateful for donald trump's endorsement. here is a little portion of that. >> there are some things that you just can't imagine happening in your life. this is one of them. being in donald trump's magnificent hotel and having his endorsement is a delight. i'm so honored and pleased to have his endorsement and -- >> all right. does that sulley a bit his message today? >> there is a big difference

between getting endorsement for president and being the president. katrina said donald trump should release his tax returns when mitt romney did. mit did in january. it is long past time for him to release his tax returns. >> the september. >> the first in january. and then in september. >> donald trump should release what he has. i'd like proof he gave money to veterans. i don't think he did. and by the way donald trump was -- >> forget about past history. what date will donald trump release his tax returns? >> mr. tump has already stated that he will release his tax returns when the audit is completed. >> he doesn't need to be completed. >> is there an audit even? >> he absolutely does need to wait. because everyone knows what matter what mr. trump releases

they are going to go through wit a fine tooth comb and complain about whatever it is. so of course mr. trump is going to wait until after the audit. and i'll say this with regards to charities. the trump family has been giving to charities for decades. longer than some of these candidates have been alive. while mitt romney was out tearing down -- >> katrina but hold on. but in terms of the recent fundraiser for veterans groups that donald trump held instead of going to the debate and he said that he had raised $6 million that was going to go to all of these different veterans groups. how much exactly has gone to the veterans groups. >> well a lot of the checks have already run out. and you can look at some of the articles where some of the charities said oh wow we didn't expect to see this much money -- >> and can only account for 800,000 of that.

not 6 million. where is the rest. >> so far. the rest of that money in the same reporting. a lot of charities have said it takes six weeks to six months to go through process of having this done. if there is one dot or one t on this paperwork that is not complete mr. trump is going to be reamed for it in the media. he has no reason to keep that money. he has a billion dollars. he's been giving to charities for forever and the fact that is somehow a bad thing for mr. trump, he's doing things he says he's wanted to do for a very long time. >> number one, i don't believe katrina. i think that he should release his past years of tax returns to show. >> of course not. >> to sew that he gave money to charity because never actually proven it. and my guess is he gave a tiny amount to charity. number two i don't believe he's being audited. they have not proved it. he just says and there is no accountability. and when it comes to donald trump's business record he didn't create jobs here. he created jobs in mexico and

china and his whole shtick about -- >> tens of -- >> -- trump clothing. just look at the tags on the trump clothing. he created jobs in mexico and china -- >> -- have supported -- >> hold on a second. i don't want to let this go. hold on guys. i don't want to let this go without getting the proof. katrina what is the proof? where is the proof that we can look at that would show in fact 6 million dollars was raised that night of the fundraiser and that it was distributed. where can we see that evidence? >> well like i said a lot of the charities have already reported -- >> 800,000 is a big difference. we've spoke on the all of them. we have a cnn investigation. >> many of the charitiies have already said it takes six weeks to six months to get that fully processed. >> and many of the charities have said we haven't seen the

money. >> because many of them say it takes six weeks to six months. it has been a couple of months, you guys. in six months you should have record f all the money that's been out there. because that's how long that process takes for many of these charities. >> you are saying just to be clear that $6 million was distributed -- hold on tim. that 6 million dollars has been distributed the these veterans groups and they just haven't sort of accounted for it yet. >> no what i'm saying the money is being distributed and some of them have to go through a paperwork process. they are charities and they have to be documented and fully vetted and they have to accept it and go through the process it. takes up to six weeks or even six months before the charities have fully processed and these charities have even told the media that and yet we're still talk about this. >> because for our investigation the charities have said, many of the charities that are veterans groups have said we isn't seen any money. we haven't seen any check. are you standing by katrina the 6 million dollar amount today?

>> absolutely. 100%. there is no reason for mr. trump to keep the money that's been incinerated right here in this interview. that's pretty asinine to even say that because mr. trump has always. >> where is money. >> donald trump doesn't give money to charity. you have never proven it. you haven't released any tax returns. he's a cheap man. he does not give money to charity and i'd like to see the proof. >> we would like to see the proof -- hold on tim. >> -- in past years. >> okay. tim hold on. many of the groups cited have not received the money. will you addressing that? >> the money is definitely being distributed. as i said the charities themselves have told everyone how long it takes to get this done. mr. trump gave a list of the amounts and names of the donors that gave to this charity. so absolutely alisyn. this is just another thing that the losing team is pushing out

there to try to create doubt in mr. trump. there is not a person out there that doesn't know the trump family is heavily invested in charities all across the country. they are building hospitals for children with terminal illness for crying out allowed. so it is absurd to incinerate the opposite. >> tim, we have to move on -- >> show us professor of the audit. show us proof how much he's given to charity and when it comes to losing -- >> okay. >> -- beating her. he's going that crush her. >> let's -- hold on. we have to move onto the controversy about the kkk. this morning just an hour ago donald trump went on another morning show and in his most unequivocable terms yet disvowed the kkk and david dukduke.

>> how many times do i have to disavow? and right after i treated that i disavowed and any endorsement of anything of david duke. >> my question to give you the chance to say and convince these folks that is not something you want. >> savannah let my sea it again for the 20th time. i disavow david duke and the kkk and anybody else who preaches hate. is that okay? are you now going to ask me about it in the next show when i call in. i disavowed david duke and the kkk. >> does that pit on end to the controversy. >> you don't get two tries to disvou the kkk. do you? yes i do. and donald trump tries to play this game where he makes

incendiary comments and pulls it back. my ear piece didn't work and makes other excuses here and there. the reality is hillary clinton is going to wipe the floor with him in a general election. we cannot nominate someone who did not clearly denounce the kkk. she's beating him in every poll. and i'm not even sure what he's going talk about in the stump speech in his general election. all he talks about the are polls. >> why didn't he say that on sunday or monday or tuesday before super tuesday? >> well if you only have two chances to denounce david duke. that was on friday actually prior to this event. so he did fundamentally disvou david duke and any affiliation with that long before that interview. no one is even talking about that saturday when there was a person wearing a kkk tee shirt that mr. trump stared down and ejected from his rally. but we haven't seen that video. and when talking to jake tapper,

jake tapper mentioned a group he never heard of. and with his ear piece going in and out. and there is not a person on television that doesn't -- >> he hasn't heard of the cake kay. >> -- trouble. >> -- he used the word david duke. he used the word kkk and donald trump didn't for whatever reason. >> -- groups you are talking about because he mentioned the antidefamation league at first. we can go through this every day if you want but the reality is here alisyn, anyone watching the television screen could see that donald trump has no affiliation with the kkk or white supremacy. >> david duke actually has now spoken out about this yesterday as well. he was on news max and talked about the impact he thinks this had on donald trump and around super tuesday. listen to this. >> don't you think your support of trump is going to hurt him? >> well let me tell you after this came out it was massive news for three days he jumped ten points in the polls. it didn't hurt donald trump.

>> david duke thinks it helped donald trump. did it help him? >> do we really care what david duke thinks? you are the only guys giving david duke this platform? mr. trump does not care about race. he cares about success and prosperity for this country. the only color that matters to donald trump is green. because there are 92 million people without jobs today. there are so many people trapped in neighborhoods who have children that they feel have no future. and we're giving david duke a platform? this is not journalism. this is hit on someone that nobody else wants to be president because that game will be over when donald trump wins. >> katrina pearson -- >> you see right there? the katrina camp just clearly say no we don't want david duke's support. >> said that a hundred times. >> -- that is news. that would be news to my twitter mentions because there are a lot of people who like white supremacist and like donald

trump tweeting at me and donald seems to have trouble clearly disavowing this. and not only is that wrong but it is a recipe for disaster in the general election. >> thanks so much for being on "new day." >> wow, excellent refereeing. not easy to do. well done alisyn. take a breath. we'll continue here. bernie sanders trailing hillary clinton by more than 600 delegates. is it too late to close the gap? and how will a new twist in the e-mail controversy effect her campaign? that's next. if ...to get relief,congestion anything is fair game. introducing rhinocort® allergy spray from the makers of zyrtec®. powerful relief from nasal allergy symptoms, all day and all night. try new rhinocort® allergy spray. muddle no more®

i am very, very excited when i read in the washington post today from some writer who said that -- that quote, all the pundits are calling the race for clinton. that means we're probably going to win in a landslide. >> the senator from vermont bernie sanders plugging away despite a big delegate deficit against hillary clinton. he says he's going to fight on after four super tuesday wins but where is the path for him? what next? let's discuss. good to have you on this morning congressman. >> good to see you. >> the delegate count right now, combined pledge and super delegates. yawning gam.

1074 to 426. what does it mean for the way forward. >> i wish you wouldn't set up the numbers that way. the fact is the super delegates and the pledge degts are different. the super delegates can vote anywhere they want. and i guarantee you at the convention the super delegates will not take a way a victory from whoever has more pledge delegates. because they know that would wreck the democratic party. but if you compare dealts they are actually pret close and i think that is a gap that certainly can be closed. but chris that is not even the main point. the main point is bernie sanders got in this race because he had to address the stunning issues of income inequality, stagnant wages. no action on climate change. confronting wall street. student debt. he has to address those issues. he got into it not based on the odds. not based on the path or whatever. but he got into it because of

love of the american people and his commitment to make a better life for the average working american of all colors. >> does that mean he stays into regardless. >> the issues aren't going away. the issues americans are facing every time they sit down and pay bills aren't going away. so he can't go away. he's got to stick and stay and say look. i'm going to champion these issueses. and i believe we still can win this thing and no matter what happens, this campaign has been better for it. >> how do you win it? >> i think we pick up delegates every day. we keep on with the message and keep on pounding, as you saw in minnesota, my state. we did very very well. i think other states where that can happen too. but at the end of the day we're in it for the love of the people. bernie sanders is doing this because he is committed to a more equal, better america. opportunities for all of us and our kids. that is what it's all about and i think that memory is going to prevail. but the fact is that i wish the

press would break out these supers from the pledge because they are not the same. >> first of all i have both set of numbers up on the screen. you can't see that from your vantage point. >> thank you chris. >> but let's also be very clear here. first of all it is a big gap between regular delegates also, pledge delegates, 600 to 400 basically. and nobody is saying super delegates are going to take the race. but super delegates count. they count. >> but when they are presented as, you know, this -- when you add the supers in, it gives the viewers an impression that the gap is much bigger than it really is between the delegates that really count, who are the pledge delegates. so i humbly request they be broken out. >> they caall count. >> but the supers can go in either direction. >> assuming you win the pledged.

right now he's down by 200. >> we're going to fight on. the message is resonating. the more people get to know bernie sanders the better he's doing. he did really well in my state of minnesota. oklahoma. colorado. you know, things are i think we have a lot to be proud of in this race so far. >> and -- >> particularly when you consider where we are back last june. >> no question. when we were first discussing running for president with senator sanders. do you know who was laughing at us? senator sanders. so certainly he's come a very far way. nobody disputes that. the question becomes a little bit of why. yes the message. but every time you look at exit polls when people talk about trustworthiness. he crushes hillary clinton. he's always at least 80 something percent. now you have the latest finding that the guy who set up the i.t. on the private server for

hillary clinton just cut an immunity deal to talk to the fbi. what does this mean for bernie sanders? should he use it as the legit concern about electability? >> you know what? i think we should stick to the message of economic empowerment for average working americans. the press and other folks are going to talk about those other issues. and they are going to do that. there is a process for that. but at the end of the day bernie sanders has always run a high road campaign. i think we should stick to it. one of the reason people trust him is he doesn't get into the mud and try to exploit circumstances like that. he famously said enough with your damn e-mails. >> he then said the fbi investigation matters and that is what we're talking about. >> well so does it matter? yes. is it something that should be a campaign issue for him? i think he he should stick to the issues in the campaign and i suspect he will. >> congressman, always appreciate you being on "new day." even when you are hitting me

over the head. >> you bet chris. >> all right. so the next week is march madness right here on cnn. it begins sunday with the next democratic debate in flint, michigan. followed by the premiere of the new cnn serious "race for the white house. and next tuesday is the next super tuesday night. super tuesday two. swenz a debate in miami and thursday the next republican debate in miami. a week of political events all right here on cnn. take your no doze now. governor governor john kasich is yet to win a single primary. why is he saying voters should not count him out just yet? we'll ask tom ridge, next. n. neutrogena® rapid wrinkle repair works... ...in one week. with the... fastest retinol formula.

including and most importantly his home state of ohio. is that a good enough path? that's a question o lot of people are asking themselves. joining us this morning is governor tom ridge. good to have you with us. >> thanks for the invite. >> makes the case for kasich staying in the race? >> well you need -- you started with 17. we're on the eve of march madness. down to the final four. we have one individual with a consistent record, not rhetoric. a consistent record of applying the conservative principles of governor. we're going to ohio. we can unite the party with a candidate best suited to defeat donald trump and hillary clinton. game on. >> what do you make of these concerns that kasich staying in really one of either rubio or

cruz staying in is hurting the party and led to this hostile takeover by donald trump and now a bizarre reaction by elder statesman trying to attack trump. what do you make of it? >> well would like everybody to just exhale a little bit. donald, the leading candidate right now and obviously i haven't been in support of since way back in november. he's still about a thousand delegates short. and i think everybody ought to settle down. we've got a series of debates coming up. primaries in favorable areas for john. you notice the exit polls. even on super tuesday show people are starting to move away from trump. i think the grassroots is finally beginning to understand that even donald trump probably doesn't believe the outrageous staples he statements about walls and getting oil from isis without putting boots on and ground etc. etc. >> i think what is happening

waez watch the process play out is why they are excited. trump is doing better and better as the races go on. he's won eight states now that no republican had ever won in a primary process since 1960. you have mitt romney cotting out this morning. he's going to use really hard language to personally attack donald trump. do you think this is a mistake. >> i think everybody is entitled to their opinion about donald trump. i think he's an embarrassment to the party and country and i have enormous respect for mitt romney and he has his opinion. he obviously deserves to express it publicly and he will. but i think john is going to stay focuses on hid record. there are a lot of people aspiring spo be president who offer the promise of conservative leadership but we're down tooth final four and only one candidate whose done more than promise from his days in the house of representatives to his extraordinary record of service in ohio. he's the only one that can

demonstrate a prooufb record. and i think the grassroots will respond in a favorable way. >> why hasn't it happened yet, governor? >> good question. i think frankly now that you have nard the stage. web the stage was as wide as the football field. and fortunately there is just a super individual, extraordinarily talented and gracious man, dr. carson has moved on. we now it narrowed to four. and you know what always happens in the final four. there are always surprises. >> that's certainly true. one of the surprises we've seen before the final four i guess with the in the great eight, the elite eight. was you have chris christie. governor of new jersey, former presidential candidate come skput support trump. a lot of hacks went up in the gop. calls for him to resign and editorials. what do you think of that move? >> i think john kasich showing the kind of man and leader he would be admitted publicly that he had talked to governor

christie. had hoped to get his support. governor christie made another decision. and john just lives with it. i just go back to my days when working with john kasich. we go back to getting elected in '82 together. he has this great ability to reach across the aisle and get things done. i personally was a little disappointed and surprised, given his assault on marco rubio that he was obviously leaning towards supporting a -- as john kasich pointed out, the gentlemen he is, everybody makes a choice and we're down to four sho choices. >> if trump is the nominee. what do you think happens at the convention? and will you back him? >> i've already said chris, many many months ago, i just -- donald trump's not my kind of man. he's not my kind of republican. as a matter of fact i'm not even sure he's republican. he's certainly not a conservative. and i can't vote for him. >> tom rink.

apprecia -- tom ridge. thank you. >> thank you very much. the race for the white house premiers this sunday. i sat down with the executive producer to hear all about the series and which candidate in history he most likens to donald trump. find out coming up. pure is big, bold and just better. pure is mccormick. because it's our mission to help you realize the rich taste that pure can bring. the smallest pinch of pure mccormick can make meals legendary. because pure tastes better. i'm in charge of it all. business expenses, can make meals legendary. so i've been snapping photos of my receipts and keeping track of them in quickbooks. now i'm on top of my expenses, and my bees. best 68,000 employees ever.

let's celebrate these moments... this woman... this cancer patient... christine... living her life... loving her family. moments made possible in part by the breakthrough science of advanced genomic testing. after christine exhausted the standard treatment options for her disease, doctors working with the center for advanced individual medicine at cancer treatment centers of america suggested advanced genomic testing. the test results revealed a finding that led to the use of a targeted therapy that was not considered for christine before. now, they're helping fight her cancer on another, deeper level... the genetic level. this is precision cancer treatment, an approach to care that may help patients like christine enjoy the things that matter most in their lives while undergoing treatment. the evolution of cancer care is here. that's definitely something worth celebrating. learn more about precision cancer treatment at cancercenter.com. appointments are available now.

a fascinating new cnn original series captures the drama of six iconic presidential campaigns in u.s. history. i sat down with the kevin spacey

and executive producer of cnn's race for the white house. >> so tell us how and why you wanted to get involved in this project. >> i was very jealous of tom hanks and his documentary series on cnn and i said well gosh darnt we got to come up with a an idea we can do a multi series look at these. you know, we're in the middle of one now. and we'll look back on it either in a year or ten years. with a degree of i didn't know that was going on and things will get revealed. and so i think all of these particular races that we have focused on throughout history are really interesting examinations of while some things may have changed, the way in which a politician get theirs message out, which in earlier times was very slow, that someone's speech or ideas would get cross to voters across the country and how that's changed. now it is instantaneous.

but how in many ways politics hasn't changed that much. >> so in researching all of these presidential races which ones did you find most fascinating? >> there is actually, they are incredibly. i think the dukakis/bush one is really interesting because it is remarkable how events that happen in the course of a campaign can become the singular thing that a candidate is then identified by. certainly dukakis case would be the moment hin the tank. which of course tanked his campaign. and it is interesting. you look back on now it and sometimes no matter how intelligent, articulate, how many incredible policies an individual might have, these individual moments, these slip-ups, you know, it is like i think of the great moment when

george h.w. bush looked at his watch in the middle of the debate. it is so fascinating how little moments like that reveal something to a public, to a press that can then change the course of history. >> how do you think american politics has changed since the founding fathers era? >> money has changed it. the media has changed it. i mean, i wonder what would happen if we took money out of it? if running for office were a public service. i remember when i did this film about jack abermoff a notorious lobbyist who funneled a lot of money into people's campaigns. and i'm going why don't networks air these ads for free as the public service. because if candidates didn't have to raise all that money,

consistently raising money, once they even get office they have to raise money for the next election. what would happen to our process? would it become fairer? would it become less driven by who's got the most super pacs or donors? it is an interesting proposition. people call me naive for thinking that's even possible. >> some people characterize the 2016 race as the most astonishing ever. how do you characterize. >> i think there are many parallels we could make to 1968. george wallace ran a very similar kind of campaign. he did exactly the same sorts of things. attack journalists. attacked integrity of other candidates. used racism, insulted people. there were fights at his rallies. you sort of go, oh yeah we've seen this before. and, you know, at least the good news about our country is no

matter how crazy it gets and no matter how much fun we have and how insane it looks, we generally get it right t end. we generally figure it out. >> that is a hopeful take on it. >> i'm very hopeful. >> some people liken donald trump to andrew jackson, way back. similar things. there were some name calling. there was lots of vitriol in between the two candidates. they brought their wives. >> andrew jackson was huge. people may not know that. but he was a huge presidential candidate as well. and he spoke like that too. and many people don't know that. of the few records we found of andrew jackson. >> you do some impressions. >> sure. >> of presidential -- >> i love doing -- well, you know, i just played richard nixon and we do examine the nixon/kennedy race. i got to play him in this film called el elvis nixon which is a

crazy story between elvis and richard nixon in 1970. we like to say it is the day two of t of the greatest recording artists in america ever met. and nixon was interesting. a year and a half before he even started taping in the white house and way before watergate. so it was really fun to try to embody his particular persona and his kind of grumpy attitude and physicality. and michael shannon plays elvis presley in this film that comes out in april. that was very fun and of course obviously a different president than frank underwood. >> do you want to give us i'm not a crook. >> i couldn't do that. because ultimately cnn has to pay me a great deal of money to do my impressions. also if i did nixon i would probably start doing what he does. is he used language that was so

shocking. he used the f word as an adjective. it is true. >> do you do any of the current presidential candidates. >> no i don't. it's fun how -- i did huge. but no, i've always loved doing bill because this race is interesting. he he. >> that's good. that is good. i knew he couldn't resist. >> -- >> nope i did not have to pay him. he does a lot of great impressions. it is also interesting to talk to him because this is this larger than life fictional character of frank underwood. and we talk about what frank underwood would think of this race. so more of that tomorrow. he tells us how house of cards skark, president underwood would react to the 2016 race. >> perfect timing because the new series comes out soon i

think. like tomorrow. >> that's why trump is very happy there is no frank underwood in the gop right now. otherwise the ierds of march take on a whole new meaning. >> and don't miss race for the white house this sunday. 10:00 eastern following the democratic debate only here an cnn. how about some good stuff to wind it up? >> yes please. >> done. next.

hi i'm kristie. and i'm jess. and we are the bug chicks. we're a nano-business. windows 10 really helps us get the word out about how awesome bugs are. kids learn to be brave and curious and all kids speak the language of bug. "hey cortana, find my katydid video." oh! this is so good. if you're trying to teach a kid about a proboscis. just sketch it on the screen. i don't have a touch screen on my mac, i'm jealous of that. you put a big bug in a kids hands and change their world view.

got a good stuff for you. an unusual story. there is a dog with one very important job. piper, 7-year-old border collie. gears up every day with specks to protect his eyes, ear muffs to protect from loud sounds and a vest that helps with his job. why? what does he need it for? here is why. >> basically what he does is chases away all sorts of wildlife. birds, fox you name it from the runways and taxi ways. anything we don't want to come in contact with aircraft. >> that's his owner, brian edwards. he says the dog's main priority is safety and he's already been a huge help to the airport. listen to this. >> we've noticed a reduction in birds, primarily the snowy all.

that is his fifth thiavorite th chase. >> why does he need to protective ie wear. >> i guess so he doesn't get hit with anything. >> or maybe the fumes from the planes. >> snowy alls. they are no joke. >> no joke. time for "newsroom" with carol costello. good morning darlin'. >> you know what i was talking to jeff zucker who was bothering me right before i went on the air. >> he'll do that. >> send the dog after him. [ laughter ] >> good idea. have a great day. "newsroom" starts now. happening now in the "newsroom." romney ready to rip into donald trump. >> we're speaking for the 65% of the people who didn't vote for donald trump. >> he thinks this is going to send a message. >> this is the moment to pull out all the stops. >> it is too little and too stupid to bring out mitt romney. >> can the party's 2012 pick stop trump's march
