on donald trump, he calls him a risky choice and says the country can't take a chance on loose cannon. bernie sanders vows to stay in the race as long as the last vote is cast. six months shy now of election day. the general election fight is now well under way. let's give the coverage with phil matingly live in columbus, ohio, good morning, bill. >> reporter: good morning, bill, as you know well the republican party approached them in stages. there was first mockery, then dismissal, and rising concern, then over the last several weeks, general resignation, should now be at the accepted stage of things. as we've seen just in the first day that the presumptive nominee was the presumptive nominee, that appears is going to take some time. >> i'm even surprised. >> reporter: the republican party happened suddenly, even for donald trump. >> i thought i'd be going longer. >> reporter: now has
3:01 am
conservative scrambling deciding whether to back a billionaire unabashedly vocal about his disdain for the party. >> they're much more sophisticated. >> reporter: both former presidents said they will not support trump. bush 41 retired from his politics and his son does not plan to participate in or comment on the presidential campaign. in an interview, cnn's golf blitzer, trump is looking ahead and looking towards hillary clinton. falsely accusing her of being the first to speculate obama's citizenship. >> the question is, before the certificate, one of the first, hillary clinton, she started it. she brought it up years before it was brought up by me. and so she can talk. here's a person under investigation by the fbi. she's only going to get the nomination because of some
3:02 am
rigged deal, and frankly, maybe she won't even be able to run. >> reporter: the new standard bearer of the republican party outlining some of his potential policies. taking a cue from bernie sanders and asked if he'll raise the minimum wage. >> i'm actually looking at that, i'm very different from most republicans, you have to have something, but what i'm really looking to do is get people great jobs so they make much more more than that. than the $15. now if you start playing around too much with the lower level number, you're not going -- >> reporter: and vowing to implement his ban of all muslims. >> this temporary ban. >> we have to be very tough, yes. >> reporter: trump now focussed on potential running mates. >> i'm starting to think about it very soon. and will be vetting them. >> reporter: possible push to unify the gop, main check, previous rivals who have since supported him. >> set up a committee and meet
3:03 am
with ben carson, chris christie on the committee. i've had a good rape with john, i've gotten along with him well -- ai've gotten along good with john. >> he said there's zero chance. his future is still left unknown. >> i have always said that the lorld has a purpose for me as he has for everyone. and as i suspend my campaign today, i have renewed faith that the lord will show me the way forward. >> reporter: and john, governor kasich advisor not willing to speculate what he'll do next regarding the presidential campaign. but they reiterate over and over again that he does not want to be donald trump's vice president. one thing to note, yesterday, as he announced the suspension of his campaign here in columbus, he decided not to take questions. one of the primary reasons, he
3:04 am
did not want it to turn into a q and a about donald trump. another top official still wary of a candidacy, unsure of what the steps forward will be as trump moves closer to being the full nominee for the republican party. >> bill, thanks so much. there's a list of people that don't want to be the vice president. meanwhile, hillary clinton unleashing a new line of attacks on donald trump, branding him as a loose cannon and a risky choice. that's not all he told our anderson cooper. chris fraits live in washington of more of this interesting interview, chris. >> reporter: yeah, hillary clinton wasted no time hitting the presumptive gop presidential nominee, slamming donald trump for the exclusive interview with our own anderson cooper. >> i think he is a loose cannon. and they tend to misfire. >> reporter: hillary clinton is ready to take on donald trump in the general election, brushing off his crooked hillary and repeatedly calling him a loose
3:05 am
cannon. >> i've seen the presidency up close. from two different perspectives, i think i know what it takes. and i don't think we can take a risk on loose cannons like donald trump running the country. you know, donald trump has said that it's okay for other countries to get nuclear weapons. i think that's just down right dangerous. >> reporter: but elsewhere, treading more lightly declining to say whether she agrees with this tweet from senator elizabeth warren that he built his campaign on racism. >> elizabeth warren is really smart. i think that anybody whose listened to him and how he's talked, certainly can draw that. >> reporter: clinton seems unfazed by the personal bar issues. >> he's made references to your marriage, to your husband. >> he's not the first one, anderson, i can't say this often
3:06 am
enough. he wants to go back to the playbook of the 1990s, if he wants to follow in the footsteps of those who have tried to knock me down and take me out of the political arena, i'm more than happy to have him do that. >> you're ready? >> oh, please. i mean, look, this is, this is to me a classic case of a blusterying, bullying guy who -- who has knocked out of the way all of the republicans because they were just dumbfounded. >> reporter: fresh off his victory over clinton, bernie sanders is also criticizing trump's abrasive campaign tactics at his rally last night. >> i know that there is a lot of nervousness around this country that donald trump may become president. ain't going to happen! [ applause ] the american people will never elect a candidate who insults
3:07 am
people every single day and incredibly ugly ways. >> reporter: now sanders didn't mention clinton at all in his speech last night, but remains to be seen if the kinder, gentler approach will continue. it's mathematically impossible for him to clinch the nomination, but the vermont senator vowed to take his fight all the way to the convention. hoping to convince enough superdelegates to hand him the nomination. allison, john, back too you guys. >> thanks so much. we have a lotle to discuss. let's bring in our panel. we have political anchor, erol lewis. mj lee, and host of the david gregory show podcast, david gregory. great to have you here. erol, what a difference a day makes. i mean, just 24 hours ago, what was supposed to be john kasich's dream scenario, just donald trump and him. wide open field, contested
3:08 am
convention. it just fell apart in 24 hours. >> absolutely. i'm assuming that the campaigns and candidates have seen or intimated something that we don't know. that they see a train wreck coming at the convention that they don't want to be a part of it. >> that's what you think it was or ran out of money. >> john kasich never had that much to begin with. i think they were physically exhausted, nobody thought it was going to go this far. i think if they saw any kind of a path to some kind of a cont t contested convention, i think they would have stuck with that. what they have done is reached out, looked around, and said you know what, it's not going to happen. if he comes in there and gets on the ballot -- look, there was an extreme tactics being discussed. including kicking donald trump out of the republican party here in new york state. which they do have the power to do. and some of those discussions were fairly recent. and people said, you know what, we're just not going to do it.
3:09 am
once you decide that, party leaders are not going to take extreme measures to try to stop trump. is the tie and the votes and the delegate count just works against you. i think both cruz and kasich said you know what, it's not going to happen. we're going to get out of the way. >> it's a really interesting thing happening right now within the republican party. where you have some people falling in line behind donald trump saying yeah, we'll support him, that's mitch mcconnell, sort of the rnc. then you have ben sastz, republican senator from nebraska who's sort of a darling in the conservative movement. he put out a statement last night on facebook, wrote a letter on facebook. i want to read you a preamble, the voice mail is overflowing with political leaders telling although trump is terrible we have to support him. this aims to ask why is that the only choice? i believe most americans if they were given candidate to focus on
3:10 am
urngt things. i think there was appetite for such a candidate, he wants a third party candidate. a sitting republican senator in a state that votes next week, who's very popular among the grass roots movement, not donald trump, not hillary clinton go third party. that's significant. >> it is, and i think there are others who are calling for that. and that sentiment will grow. i still think it's impossible, frankly, because you have deadlines to get third party candidates on a ballot that are passing, and a lot of states, that would have to mobilize quickly, and in essence that would help hillary clinton i believe. i don't see that happening, but i do think what's interesting is there's a real target of opportunity here for hillary clinton and she spoke about it during the interview yesterday. whether she's reaching out to a little bit more indpenld-minded republicans or even more national security republican, she's going to spend her time trying to bring those people over to her side, and she is a candidate with very high
3:11 am
negatives herself. she seems an impossible candidate to try to over republicans, she has an opportunity to do it. >> we heard in the interview, hillary clinton used the term loose cannon, but elizabeth warren use much stronger terms, racism, you heard hillary clinton not to want go there. why not? why not go through the jugular, that's what donald trump does. >> right, i think for hillary clinton, the big thing to do now is to figure out how she can capitalize on the fact that a lot of americans have the concerns about the kind of president that donald trump would be. we know that people are concerned about his temperament and just the fact that he doesn't have certain experience, obviously, this would be the first time he's ever held public office. she understands that the trump movement and the fez no, ma'am nonis really driven by a lot of passion among voters. whether it's anger or frustration -- >> she doesn't want to alienate
3:12 am
them, supporters. >> those supporters and those supporters feel the same things that bernie sanders supporters feel. so she wouldn't want to say anything that makes it seem as though she doesn't get that there are a lot of people feeling disenfrchd, feeling like the political system and washington frankly that they have not been working for them. >> slightly different view on that which is that i think she -- look, she's just watched a bunch of these republicans, at least a couple, marco rubio comes to mind, tried to go toe to toe and going for the jugular with donald trump, and it doesn't work. she doesn't want to call donald trump a racist, she wants the elizabeth warren's in the party to do that and smile and say she's really smart. she wants to focus on the line that he's risksy, loose cannon, he's unhinged. she doesn't really want to get down the gutter. at the same time she's saying that she's willing to have this fight over the '90s fights over the clintons, i don't think she wants to use that language. i'd be surprised if he starts. >> she did not answer the
3:13 am
question is donald trump a racist, wouldn't say yes or no, by not answering, that says a lot. inaction, two former presidents, named bush who now say they're not getting involved at all in this race. president george w. bush and george h.w bush got statements saying, we're sitting out. we're not participating at all. sounds like no endorsement, no nothing. this is again, it's just something we haven't seen before. >> that's right, those who thought that this might be sort of severe stress and possibly even sort of a crack within the republican party, we don't know what that looks like this. we haven't seen that in quite a long time. does it look like something cataclysmic and violence and so forth or party elders saying, we're going to sit this one out. we're going to let this go. and you wouldn't have expected this. but there's a lot we wouldn't have expected. when you hear hillary clinton
3:14 am
declining to sort of go toe to toe, david's right, she doesn't necessarily want to get into a big, ugly skrum, but i think she's also tailoring a message toward some of these undecided and some of these people who will sit out the election, including elected officials and party elders. so there's a big field of emerging political energy and people in play. and you can see hillary clinton already trying to angle towards them, and that includes, of course, you know the signals that are being sent by the party staff and people like the bushes. >> saying clinton clearly doesn't want to get into the sbut gutter with trump yet. however, that was a line of thinking that ted cruz helped if for a very long time, until literally a couple days ago when he called him a pathological liar. >> right time to get in the gutter. >> that's a great question. >> right. >> well, i have no answer. guys, thank you, panel stick around, we have a lot more questions for you because now that donald trump is the last republican standing, if he's

now it is clear one giant hurdle with, that being the entire republican field. donald trump is looking towards the general election now. outlining what his first 100 days in office would look like. let's discuss with the panel. erol lewis, david gregory, bus yis first 100 days in office. i want to show you some of the things he wants to do. enact immigration ban on muslims. complete design of the wall of the u.s. mexico border, choose the stream court nominee to fill a vacant seat, establish relationships with republican leaders in washington, overturn the executive orders and key policies. >> all comes from recent interviews he's done with the "new york times." >> that is a lot. some of those that you want to
3:20 am
establish good relations on the hill, some of the policies might make that difficult. >> might make it difficult. if you look at the policies, temporary ban, we heard in that interview that wolf blitzer did, the designing the wall. these are very popular with republican voters who have supported him. interestingly, even more popular than the wall is the temporary ban of muslims within ts republican party based on exit polls. of course trump is going to stick with those things. now we'll see what happens if he were to be elected president and he's in the oval office where things can change when he starts meeting with advisors about what's practical and achievable and what congress would go along with as well. what he's really talking about is sending a different tone about how he'd establish relationships with washington. the kinds of people that he would put into his cabinet and into agencies, a lot of military folks as well as business leaders. and again, overall trying to
3:21 am
allow people to imagine him as president. he said something that he doesn't want to create stability in the country, that's not why he's running. he has a lot of work to do. particularly within the republican party, try to unite people, try to bring people in. >> not instability in the country, it's a pretty low bar. >> that's right. everyone, he has been disruptive. he was the disrupter in this race. he did do something totally different that we'll be relying on instability. i thought it was interesting to hear him say that was then and that's not what i'm going to do now as president. another interesting thing. wolf sat down with him and asked him if he does stand by the temporary ban on muslims. listen to his response yesterday. >> we have a problem. we have a really big problem where we're letting in thousands of people supposedly from syria, but we have no idea. the migration is a disaster. we're letting in thousands of people, they don't have
3:22 am
documentation, they don't have paperwork, nobody knows who they are, where they come from, and they're coming into this country -- >> deal with this temporary ban. >> until we figure out what is going on. we have to be tough, yes. >> erol sticking with the temporary ban on muslims, one of the most controversial things. >> you can imagine the order coming down, right, some version of we're going to ban muslim immigration. we all know that there will be a literal army of civil rights attorneys who will rush into court that very afternoon and seek and possibly get some kind of an injunction to stop all of that stuff from happening. and there you will start to see what the presidency is actually about. that some things you can do, it's interesting looking at the checklist, there's some things he can do and accomplish on day one or day 100, reers versing t executive orders or issuing new ones. the branches of government will step in and we'll see what
3:23 am
happens with that. and then he's got to make political calculations, does he want to see one of the most important promises that he made get checked at the courthouse door by a federal judge or does he want to sort of build up momentum with things that are clearly only within his power. things that the supreme court nominee. >> muslim ban is also interesting will not play as well among minority voters and democratic. that in the coming months.s on - mj, it's interesting, donald trump talking about foreign policy, wolf asked him about issues dealing with the russian fighter jets that keep on buzzing u.s. ships. listen to this exchange. >> on two occasions, russian fighter jets barrel rolled u.s. military facility. >> lack of respect. lack of respect for the united states -- >> what would you tell putin. >> don't do it again. i would say don't do it again. and i think i have a good
3:24 am
relationship with him. >> have you ever spoken with him. >> i don't want to the say, but i think i have a good relationship with him. now i may not. we'll find out quickly, but i would call and say don't do it again. >> two things interesting, he wouldn't tell us about putin, it's always interesting when he says i don't want to say. write a stronger worded letter, is that foreign policy. >> he has said that kind of thing for months and months, you know, when asked a question, how are you going to accomplish that? because i'll do it. i know how to do it. i'll know how to accomplish this. i do think that with certain rhetoric and certain messages and promises, donald trump is going to have a very hard time walking some of those things back. even as he is recalibrating his message for the general election. something like the muslim ban or building the wall, i mean, donald trump unofficial slogans may as well be i'm going to
3:25 am
build a beautiful wall. i think some of those promises have really been at the supporters. that is going to be difficult. however, i thought it was interesting that he mentioned to wolf wlitser that he would be open to raising the minimum wage. >> fascinating. >> this is, this is coming months after he said, wages are almost too high. so, you know, when we're talking about recalibrating that message. there are certain areas where he clearly thinks that a little bit of wiggle room is possible, and he has signalled that for a while today. >> just a quick vote here, on the muslim ban, listen to how oe page donald trump is about there's thousands of people coming in. there's a whole security apparatus about immigrants that he glosses over. with putin of course, he's not the first president whose wanted to keep foreign leaders offbounds, richard nixon was famous for this as well. so you see how that relationship unfolds. >> look, i mean he thinks that
3:26 am
everything is a negotiation, even foreign policy, and maybe he's right. i mean, the other people haven't take than tactic, i'm going to pick up the phone and call him and they're going to stop. and people find that message appealing. panel, thank you very much. new details and the final moments in prince's life. the late singer may have just been hours away from the help he needed to save his life. frantic behind the scenes, that's coming up next. ♪

3:53 am
prince was known to be a tee totaler. he didn't smoke pot. >> he was a vegan. >> yep. if somebody in his band or entourage had a problem with drugs, he would pay for them to get help. >> yeah. >> so i guess he hid this alleged addiction to painkillers from even some of his closest friends. >> he also was a very solo individual. right. he didn't have a huge entourage. elements that we heard in the days of his day. shopping mall or taking, you know, going to his own appointments. he didn't have a ton of people that celebrities have in los angeles and new york which may have allowed him to keep his secrets. there were reports about him going to pharmacies in and around, you know, his home. filling prescriptions on his own apparently. so that, you know, that loneliness and that kind of solo entrepreneurship, whatever you want to call it may have allowed him to hide as long as he did. >> sanjay, it sounds like prince
3:54 am
had surgery on his hip about ten years ago. and he had pain since that time. can you explain to us what happens when somebody is prescribed say percocet or a painkiller for pain and how they become addicted. >> the concern about physical dependence. physical basically means. in the united states. >> that's a remarkable number. they are 5% of the world's population using 80% of the pain medication.
3:55 am
is it fair and that number boggles my mind every time i see it. we will prescribe the stuff, but let me show you what happens in the body weight when you take this stuff. it basically binds the rescepters all over the body, including in the brain. it's a depence on getting the opioids. it comes from the plant. and that's part of what makes y you. >> intervention, and he was aware of this. within hours of trying to get him help. >> and they clearly had done some research. they researched dr. cornfeld and his center which treats addicted
3:56 am
people. he was going to meet prince and the son at paisley park. it's so tragic. >> it is so tragic. is to sanjay, the son of this doctor who had flown overnight trying to make it to prince because it was a life and death situation came equipped with a drug. what would that have done? if the doctor was anyone to administer it, what is that? >> well, it's basically a combination of two drugs. one of the drugs is sort of think of it as a weaker protein. sort of weaker form of medication he may have been taking. and the other side of that drug is certainly central to these open yids. in combinations it helps the open yids. sort of counselling as well. but not only can see the physical dependence, treat again
3:57 am
the mental part of this. the cravings. >> there's an addiction to painkillers in this country. if you prescribe something for pain, then you take more. what is the answer for people who are addicted to painkillers? >> well, first of all, you saw the numbers, we're way overprescribing this stuff. when you get a prescription or your doctor's prescribing, whether or not this is really necessary. and when we give out pain pills for all sorts of different things where most of the world does not. just to keep that in mind. second of all, they're really not designed to work long-term. it stops working after a month and that make sense. there are other things to do for pain besides taking high dose
3:58 am
narcotics. as a first line. >> and clearly this issue runs up against then law enforcement. right? what's going to go on in minnesota is to figure out where did he get these pills. was someone doing something wrong. and that may be a legitimate concern, but i think sanjay also points out, there's a break in the notion, prince had surgery, long-term pain. she was doing the right thing. i'm very different from most republicans. do you know who started the
3:59 am
birther movement? hillary clinton. >> i don't think we can take a risk on a loose cannon like donald trump. >> i'm going to run is about what he will do in the future. >> the new arm's race under the sea.
4:00 am
>> secretary of state, gives you a choice saying the united states can take a chance on a loose cannon, she means trump. this is bernie sanders sayings he will stay in the race until the last vote is cast. for six months out now until november's alex day, but the battles already under way. let's begin our coverage in columbus, ohio, phil. >> reporter: good morning, don, donald trump's ability to vest a historically large and talented republican field has left many republicans stunned as one told me last night in a text message. i'm numb. but it is now the reality. and that reality means donald trump needs to do a lot of things and a lot of things fast. top object list, fundraising and ensuring that the party wins on the whole in november. >> i'm even surprised by it. >> reporter: donald trump's el vision that presumptive nominee happened suddenly. even for donald trump.
4:01 am
zble i thought i'd be going longer. >> reporter: his assent has conservatives scrambling deciding whether to back a billionaire about his disdain for the party. >> the republican system is rigged, but in a much more sophisticated way. >> reporter: both former presidents bush made it clear, they will not support trump, according to close aids, bush 41 is retired from politics and his son does not plan to participate in or comment on the presidential campaign. in an interview with wolf blitzer, trump is looking ahead and hitting his clearest starting, the likely nominee, hillary clinton. falsely accusing her of being the first to speculate on obama's citizenship. >> you know who started? . do you know who questioned his birth certificate? one of the first, hillary clinton. she's the one that started it. she brought it up years before it was brought up by me. and, you know, so she can talk, look, here's a person under investigation by the fbi, she's
4:02 am
only going to get the nomination because it's a rigged deal. and frankly, maybe she won't even be able to run. >> reporter: the new standard bearer of the republican party, outlining some of his potential policies. taking a cue from bernie sanders when asked if he'll raise the minimum wage. >> i'm actually looking at that. i'm very different from most republicans. i mean, you have to have something to live on, but what i'm really looking to do is get people great jobs so they make much more money that, more money than the $15. now if you start playing around too much with the lower level, the lower level number. you're not going to be competitive. >> reporter: and vowing to implement his ban of awesome muslims from entering the u.s. >> sticking with the temporary ban? >> until we're figuring out, we have to be vigil. >> reporter: trump now focussing on potential running mates. >> i'm starting to think about it very soon. and will be vetting people. >> reporter: in a possible push to unify the gop, name check the
4:03 am
previous rivals who have since supported him. >> i'm going to set up a committee. and may put ben carson, chris christie on the committee, i've had a good relationship with john. gotten along with him well. but john, whether he's vice president or not, he'll be very, very helpful with ohio. >> reporter: john kasich has always said there is zero chance that he would be trump's vp. but the his future is still left unknown. >> i am always said that the lord has a purpose for me as he has for everyone. and as i suspend my campaign today, i have renewed faith that the lord will show me the way forward. >> reporter: and john, all eyes here in columbus will be on john kasich, not just about a potential vp nod, but also about his support for donald trump in general. he's grown sharply critical of trump and the campaign trump's run over the last couple of months, how he will try and resolve those issues over the
4:04 am
next few weeks will be very interesting to watch. it's something all top republican officials are starting to deal with right now. many yesterday coming out presidentially making the calculation that they will support the party's nominee, but from top officials to donors to grass roots, everybody trying to figure out what to do now. donald trump is the nominee, where does the party go from here and how do you unify to beat the democrats in november? john. >> john kasich's body language will be interesting to read. phil in columbus, thanks so much. hillary clinton warns that the country that it cannot risk a donald trump presidency. that's not all the former secretary of state had to say to anderson cooper. cnn chris's fraits is live in with more of that interview, chris. >> reporter: good morning, john, hillary clinton wasted no time hitting the freshly minted gop nominee, slamming donald trump in an exclusive interview with our own anderson cooper. >> i think he is a loose cannon, and loose cannons tend to misfire. >> reporter: hillary clinton says she's ready to take on donald trump in the general election, brushing off his crooked hillary moniker and
4:05 am
repeatedly calling him a loose cannon. >> i've seen the presidency up close. from two different perspectives. and i think i know what it takes, and i don't think we can take a risk on a loose cannon like donald trump running our country. donald trump has said it's okay for other countries to get nuclear weapons. i think that's just down right dangerous. >> reporter: but elsewhere, clinton is treading lightly, declining to say whether she agrees with this tweet, saying trump built his campaign on racism, sexist -- >> i think elizabeth warren is really smart. >> you agree? >> i think that anybody whose listened to him and how he's talked certainly can draw that conclusion. >> do you think he's a racist? >> i'm going to let people judge for themselves. >> reporter: clinton seems unfazed by the more personal barbs. >> he's made references to your marriage, to your husband. [ laughter ] >> well, he's not the first one
4:06 am
within anderson. i can't say this often enough. if he wants to go back to the playbook period of time 1990s, if he wants to follow in the footsteps of those who have tried to knock me down and take me out of the political arena, i'm more than happy to have him do that. >> you're ready for that? >> oh please, i mean look, this is, this is to me a classic case of a blustering, bullying quite who, who has knocked out of the way all the republicans because they were just dumbfounded. >> and fresh off his victory over clinton, bernie sanders is criticizing trump's abrace ifz campaign tactics at his rally last night. >> i know that there is a lot of nervousness around is this country that donald trump may become president. ain't going to happen! [ applause ] the american people will never
4:07 am
elect a candidate who insults people every single day in incredibly ugly ways. >> reporter: now sanders didn't mention clinton at all in his speech last night. but remains to be seen if this kinder, gentler approach will continue. it's mathematically impossible for sanders to clench the nomination, but the vermont senator has vowed to take this fight all the way to the convention. hoping to convince enough super delegates to switch sides and hand him the nomination. alison, back to you. >> thanks so much for all of that. so let's discuss this with renée almers, she's a republican from north carolina who has endorsed donald trump, good morning, congresswoman. >> good morning, good to be with you. >> great to have you. now that donald trump is the presumptive nominee, it's our job to look at his statements and his plans more closely. yesterday, he sat down with our wolf blitzer, and he talked about some of his plans, one of
4:08 am
which was the minimum wage, and whether or not it should be raised. and donald trump yesterday said something different than what he had say said in november during one of the debates. so let me play both of those statements for you. >> taxes too high, wages too high, we're not going to be able to compete against the world, i hate to say it, but we have to leave it the way it is. >> you can't live on $7.25. >> no, and i'm looking at that because i'm very different from most republicans. i mean, you have to have something that you can live on. >> open to raising the minimum wage? >> i'm open to doing something with it. >> which one is it? open to raising the minimum wage or are wages too high as he said? >> well i think he hit it exactly the way he is coming across and thinking about it. he's talking about the fact that he's looking at it. i don't think there's anything that's unreasonable about that. i think that most of us, those of us who are republicans and conservative and we believe that a strong work force is going to
4:09 am
grow and that we want to help individuals to move up that ladder of success no matter what, and when you have an entry waged job, that's exactly what it is. but, let's face it, there's a lot of discussion about this across the country, and i think it's fair to say that it's on the table. >> sure, but most skrifts don't believe in raising the minimum wage. they think that would kill jobs because employers may not be able to pay the higher wage. when you hear him say he's open to it, do you support that? >> i'm not opposed to that. i think, i think this is a fresh way of looking at all of this. you know, i'm a republican and i do believe that when we're talking about creating jobs, we have to be careful about setting minimum wages. now, but that doesn't mean that i'm the correct person in the room. i think that's what donald trump is trying to say here, he wants to bring the conversation to the table. >> but does he support it or not? i mean i think it's fair for voters to hear how their possible president really feels.
4:10 am
do you think that donald trump supports raising the minimum wage or not? >> well, inmean, he said it himself, i'm not balking at this, i can't say that he does or that he doesn't. he basically said he was open to that discussion. i think it's fair to say that he would like to hear from all parties, all concerned, and flets move forward with a plan of action for the country. it can't be just black and white. and i think unfortunately, many times that's how this discussion has panned out between republicans and democrats. let's all come together and solve the problems. that's what donald trump is. he is a problem-solver. he is successful, and he understands that you have to bring different opinions to the table ab and even if you don't agree with them yourself. >> so as you know, voters say they're most concerned about jobs. what donald trump said yesterday, to wolf blitzer is what i'd do is bring our jobs back. but again he's light on details. how will he bring jobs back? >> well, i think he hits on the major points when he's talking
4:11 am
about creating jobs and growing the economy. which you have pointed out is the number one issue. leaving the indiana polls there earlier in the week, that was the number one issue, let's create and environment of growth. we haven't had that for eight years. we've had a stagnant economy. wages are flat. i think that's why we're having the discussion about wages. but what we need to do is we need significant tax reform. we need to make america the plaes that other businesses who have left want to come back. we have to grow manufacturing, we have to grow every sector of industry in this country. we have to have a fair trade system that empowers america to trade with our global partners, not decrease our amount of control in the situation, but increase our amount of control. let's do the things that are necessary to grow jobs in america, and be bold about it. >> so you've heard donald trump say plans that you're comfortable with and that voters should be comfortable with in terms of bringing companies back, for instance, lowering
4:12 am
taxes for those companies, how would he lure companies back? >> well, what i can tell you on that, on that issue is, you know, we need a broad and bold tax reform system. we've been talking about it for a long time, but unfortunately, as republicans, we haven't had the courage to actually put it in place. but when we're talking about taxes, let's remember, we're not just talk abouting are corporate taxes, we're talking about personal income tax. small business tax. we're talking about corporate tax. we have the highest corporate tax rate in the global, in the global economy. we've got to decrease that so that we are globally competitive again. >> senator ben sass put an open letter at around midnight on facebook say sthag he hears so many republicans who are still disgruntled and dissatisfy the about donald trump being their choice, and he suggests, i'll just read a short portion of this, i think most americans can
4:13 am
still be for limited government again, if they were given a candidate who wants washington to focus on a small number of really important urgent things, i think there is room, an appetite for such a candidate. he means a third party candidate. do you think there's a chance that a third party candidate will emerge? >> i think the answer there really goes to the american people. and the excitement that donald trump has brought to this presidential campaign over these months. you know, coming into a race with 16 other opponents and now being the one going forward. the excitement, the numbers, that have come out for donald trump. we have thousands more individuals who are voting now that haven't voted in the past or have felt that either party has left them behind. that's where the question is. if someone thinks that there's a path forward, i think it's a pretty poor choice because i think donald trump is really the one that most people are going to put their support behind. and i just think it would be a failed effort. i think what we have to do is
4:14 am
unify behind our republican nominee and do everything we can to take down hillary clinton in november. >> congresswoman renée elmers, thanks so much. >> good to be with you. >> let's go over to john. >> thanks allison. the state department says a 48 hour ceasefire is now in the effect in aleppo. this was negotiated by the u.s. and russia. u.s. officials say the violence has decreased, but not ended, most of aleppo is under the syrian government's control, but extremists and opposition forces still control parts of the city. president obama visiting are flint, michigan, and sipping the city's water as he urges parents to let their children get tested for lead poisoning. the president challenging the city to use the water crisis as an tunlopportunity to rebuild. we will speak with the eight-year-old who wrote the letter to president, to the president and she is being credited with bringing him to flint. look at that hug. what was it like for her to have him visit and hug her like that? we'll hear from her directly.
4:15 am
>> that is quite a hug. what do donald trump and captain america have in common? they're apparently the same person. you'll see what i mean in today's late night laughs. >> you just reached donald trump. >> donald, donald, you called me. >> doesn't matter. did you see the news? i'm now the republican president. and come november, i'm going to be voted captain america. >> all right. congratulations on indiana. >> thank you. >> i love indiana. the birthplace of indiana jones. >> i got to admit, it was a big win. >> it was a big win. and when i'm in in charge, america's going to start winning. and winning bigly. >> did you just say bigly? >> that's right. bigly. and i'm going to be the bestest, most fantasticist president ever, it's going to be huugggee rks. >> hugeical.
4:16 am
>> i can't believe it, you actually could be the next president. >> believe it. because now that ted cruz dropped out, there's only one man standing in my way -- >> you mean john kasich? >> no, hillary. oh, mike drop. >> speaking of mike drop, watched your speech at the correspondence dinner, it was lars. >> i watched your speech on foorn policy and the feeling is mule chul, buddy. >> thank you for praising me. i totally love it. >> that's so good. they both do pretty impeccable impressions there. >> six months until election day in november. we've got a lot more of that coming. >> that's great. well, the presidential election picture in november now becoming clearer. trump's assent so far has been unprecedented, it is historic. it the clinl ton campaign and the democrats, are they underestimating trump? we'll talk about that. when consultant josh atkins books at laquinta.com.

trump the last republican standing. the republicans new standard bearer and all likelihood will face off against hillary clinton this fall. so what can we expect this fall? joining us now, cnn political commentator van jones and the editor of the weekly standard, bill crystal. will we see someone in addition to hillary clinton and donald trump running this fall? ben sass overnight on facebook made a passionate plea for a third party candidate to emerge. i know you are quite supportive of this mr. crystal. >> i have, i hope ben sass decides to do it himself. i think it'd kb great to have a young, conservative independent minded and willing to work across the aisle senator. on the stage with two elderly americans, donald trump and hillary clinton. who really are fighting the battles. >> i'm in my early 60s been they get social security, ben sass is in his 40s. think about the generation gap.
4:22 am
i think someone like sass running would start off behind, there are a lot of hurdles to get over, it's doable though, if he could get into the bases, i think he could win. >> senator sass in the letter makes clear, he's not going to be the guy. >> i wouldn't say he makes it that clear. there are others, many others who are older and senior yeah. if it didn't work for john kasich, why would it work for somebody else now? >> john kasich was a flawed candidate. the republican candidates is different from a general election. and look, some candidate accept a choice between hillary clinton and donald trump. we think the country can do better. i think some republicans with, even though a little bit tempted by trump may come to their senses. they haven't so far and aye been wrong in thinking they will. trump happened so far, 42% with the republican primary vote. he's getting less than half of a party that represents half the
4:23 am
country. that is not so formidable and hillary clinton hasn't exactly been formidable. she just lost to bernie sanders in indiana. which is not a state she should have this that much trouble in. both clinton and trump are weaker than people think and there is really room for around independent can't. >> what do you think of that theory, van? >> well listen, i can understand the heartburn that serious conservatives, pribs. conservatives are experiencing because of frankly nobody can figure out what donald trump believes inside of the same interview. you just heard representative saying that he might be flip-flopping on minimum wage, and she's not sure convening conversations as moozed to making law. not going to deal with black aej white. that's what laws are. they're in black and white. and so, you have a candidate even when he's trying to appear presidential seems like maybe what a third grader might do or say doesn't have answers. on the other side though, as
4:24 am
much concern as it is for the conservatives that he might lose and he might hurt the republican party, my concern is that he might win and hurt the country. because i think democrats are taking him way too lightly. i just don't think democrats understand that there is a weighed building for change, and change of any kind, of any stripe, at this point, i think kermt the frog could run. >> and in fact you've said that you think donald trump quote will probably win the presidency. so what should democrat -- if you think they're not taking him seriously, what's the prescription? >> well, a couple things, first of all the hammer blow will fall the hardest from trump in the rust belts where democrats have tended to take things for granted. michigan, pennsylvania, wisconsin. places that have republican governors now or in the leent pastz. the winners in globalization are people like many of the folks watching this show.
4:25 am
we get a chance to go to walmart, we don't think about it. the winners are die fuels and ungrateful, but the losers in globalization lost the jobs are concentrated and a u angry. if donald trump goes there, he can pick up votes. democrats in the rust belt right now trying to shore up african american and working class white votes pointing out that the ceo president likes trump, you get like a u ceo governor in michigan that gave you flint. if you lay back and think demographics are going to save you, you will be warbled out to sea like all the republicans have been so far. >> so van, maybe donald trump can win some rust belt democrats, the question is will he lose some beltway conservatives, say like editors of conservative magazines, like bill crystal. i'd be remiss ds if i didn't ask. you've been never trump for a while, then you said on in an interview, well, maybe never, i should never --
4:26 am
>> no, no, no. >> never trump, will kblou vote for donald trump yes or no? i am never trump. i can't vote for hillary clinton either honestly. i would just why i'd like to see an independent candidate. it's a very unpredictable election, maybe democrats are underestimating trump, there are a heck of a lot more rust belt workers than pundits. ly stipulate that. i'm not saying i have power to do anything here, but, but, there are republicans that i've within struck by, number of people. people i don't know personally. e-mailing the weekly standard, they see me on cnn and find out where i work and the general dress, but the weekly standard on e-mail. and they say please, we doe do better than donald trump.
4:27 am
>>. >> bill, the republican nominated donald trump. i mean, it's not like this was a fluke or he got in on a technicality. he got in after winning all these states and beating 16 other people. >> that's true. great parties make mistakes and they need to be saved from their mistakes and exceptional circumstances and i hope we can save the republican party. i think after six months of trump convention, debates, if he becomes the face of the republican party. and the only face of the republican party, even if he loses which i expect him to do, it's a real crisis for the republican party. >> i do don't think it's easy for the republican party to move beyond donald trump after he is the republican party for six months, which is why it's so important that someone else step forward. >> jan van, only 30 seconds left, aisle give you the final word. >> it's important for people -- it's not just random on the party of either republicans or democrats or independents, the concern is real. these are very serious times. you need very serious people,
4:28 am
isis, china, when you're talking about nuclear weapons and we have a candidate that flip-flops inside the same interview, that sends a very, very dangerous signal to the world. our allies will not know what to do or how to plan, they'll have to assume that we are going to abandon many of the policies that have held the world together. why would you roll the dice on that in any party, this is the wrong time to take these risks. >> thank you, great to get your perspectives. >> van jones, a democrat that thinks that donald trump will win. >> scrambling your brain late, i can see this. >> only 7:28 in the east. never trump movement now at al cross roads with donald trump as the presumptive nominee lp will these republicans embrace him? bill crystal just said no or will they turn to support hillary clinton. we're going to talk to a republican next who says yes. ♪

the stop trump movement couldn't stop trump. the republican outsider got over his campaign opponent who also did not believe. believe that donald trump will not be the nominee. >> donald trump will never be the nominee at the party of lincoln and reagan. >> donald trump i don't believe is going to be the party's nominee. >> donald trump will not be the nominee. >> he's leading right now -- >> donald trump will not be the nominee. will you support him. >> donald trump will not be the nominee. >> welcomes likes yes he will. let's bring in our panel. gentlemen, you have different views on what to do going forward. ben, you're the most radical in some republican and conservative states. your going to vote for hillary,
4:34 am
you're going to work more or less to get hirnt elected, ben, explain. >> well, we'll definitely have a line in the sand. i'm going to be working to stop trump, i mean, you just said a moment ago we didn't stop trump. in my opinion, it's not over yet. we can still stop him and i would like to. bill crystal was just talking about the cost of him being the nominee and how if he has the bully pulpit for four years defining conservatism, i don't know how we recover. it's not that i want hillary clinton to be president, i can't sit by and watch somebody coop conservatism and destroy its credibility. >> and to be clear, you don't think that a third party candidate, you know, bill crystal was ben sass, and if if somebody said hey, i'm going to run. you don't think that would been an effective way to stop trump. >> oh, i would support that. i haven't seen anything that makes me believe it's going to
4:35 am
happen. nobody has stepped up. if somebody can step up and show that they can do it, absolutely i support that. i would much rather have somebody i can like and support rather than voting with someone i disagree. >> charlie sykes, you were a big ted cruz guy in wisconsin. and you were very effective in stopping donald trump in that state. didn't last much passed wisconsin, what do you plan to do now? >> yeah, i thought we'd be a fire wall, we were a speed bump. this is drinks arsenic and battery acid for most conservatives. i'm still never trump as in never trump, i can't bring myself to jump into the dumpster fire of the hillary campaign quite yet, but i would strongly caution republicans who are getting on board. understand who donald trump is, what he represents, he is a serial liar, he is a massage
4:36 am
nis, zen phone who embraces whacky conspiracy theories and you own all of that, between now and november, every slur, every insult, every outrage, every falsehood, every theory, you will have o defend, rationalize, or avoid. this is where i think never trump is going to play a significant role. say two people is not conservatism, we're not part of this. and you have the credibility to pick up the pieces because right now, he is absolutely right. the disaster that donald trump represents for the republican party and most importantly for the conservative movement is a challenge because he will dismantle everything. he is the cartoon caricature serving the left said about conservatives. >> how do you reconcile the fact that he won the republican primaries then? you know, going away, early, you know, how can you reconcile that
4:37 am
he got over 10 million votes and counting more votes already than mitt romney ever got? you say he doesn't represent conservatism, but doesn't because he just won the republican race represent now what he is? >> there is a dichotomy for somebody other than donald trump. but the reality is that winning elections in countries does not necessarily mean you are the right guy. he is unfundamentally ready to be president of the united states. he is a man without principles and i think it is absolutely krieshl for principle conservatives to point that out. because otherwise, look, a lot of these folks will be saying, you know what, we're not antimany of minorities, we're not tinfoil hat spear theorists, if you spend the next six ments arguing that donald trump should
4:38 am
be president, it's all true. >> let me get a question in in into ben here. ben, how are are you going to take this? what's your view going toward to people who do support donald trump or don't stand in his way? will you refuse to back anyone who refuses in 2020 for the presidential race if there is one who supports donald trump now? >> i've been struggling with this. if he's a pathological liar, i think he is, i've called him that, when i think he is. if they think all these things about him and come around and say that he's our best chance and we need to vote for him. they're going to have a serious problem every time they try to run for anything, accomplish anything, convince anybody of anything. we need to reach new voters with, we can't do that if we're supporting a noun liar that we've called a liar. we can't do that. >> ben hao, charlie sykes, thanks so much, gentlemen. >> thanks.

4:43 am
sciutto had a firsthand look at one of them. tell us about a visit to a sub. >> we've seen this conflict between u.s. and russia, with the fly-byes, places like ukraine and syria, but it's also taking place out at sea and under the sea. it's known as the silent service because they do this in secret by design. we got a rare look inside and it was truly amazing to experience. the uss missouri nuclear attack submarine sailing to exercises in a deep dive off florida. the atlantic is on the front lines of a new cold war. we join for an exclusive embark. >> the uss missouri is an attack submarine, it launched competitor pea does at other submarines and surface vessels. it gathers intelligence, it could also deploy navy seal units for special operations. it is the most advanced submarine in the world. and it is facing the most
4:44 am
advance the strike thats to u.s. submarine forces in decades. russia is deploying attack submarines in numbers and aggressiveness and advances in technology not seen since the cold war. now chooun, north korea, vietnam, india, and others are joining a new arms race under the sea. this commodore commands a squadron of ten subs including the missouri. >> we don't have to rely on an adversary. now that's changing, back to the point now where we have to consider that there's an adversary ready to challenge us in the undersea domain, and that undersea superiority is not guarantees. >> reporter: new threats require a new state of readiness which we witnessed at every turn. >> five and eight. >> launch to the open one. missouri 135 cocrews trained for anti-submarine war fair.
4:45 am
>> 337, unit running, wire good. >> reporter: we're going to get to a 25 degree angle. keep in mind, i'm standing up straight now. but as i'm leaning forward, that's keeping me vertical in relation to the ground. as the angle gets sharper. these are just exercises, but the missouri, the mighty mo to its crew, has repeatedly gone nose to nose with real world threats. russia, crimea, launched military action in syria, the missouri was deployed nearby. and when an russian sub turned up off the coast of florida in 2012, it was the uss missouri called into action to track it. >> that's showing, hey, showing where they can go. >> honestly, i think it's operational experience, if
4:46 am
anything were to ever happen. they have experience. they know those waters. i don't think it's a political statement on that part at all. >> reporter: the missouri's greatest asset may be its silence, invisible to satellites, inaudible to other ships and subs. >> dive, dive. >> reporter: giving the u.s. the element of surprise. >> whether there is a submarine there or not, potential ed adversary has to take that when they make decisions. >> reporter: underwater is where the boats and crews stay. a and that's not something if you're a submariner that you do very often. their most recent deployment, they were out for 181 days, 163 days were at sea. that is the life of a submariner. and that is a call to action the u.s. navy 70 submarines are getting more and more often.
4:47 am
i got to say, what an incredible view inside an amazing piece of technology. >> beautiful. >> i have a million questions. first off, you mentioned the russians, are manufacturing and deploying new stuff. does the u.s. still have the advantage here? >> the u.s. has confidence it has the advantage, but that advantage is shrinking. i spoke to the former nato supreme ally commander and he says they're ahead, but not by much. they are a class that's harder to track. a lot of stuff is class if ied, but they're very open about the challenge. >> i'm interested in the arms race and the creature comforts of submarine living. you're 6'3". >> yeah. >> what's it like to sleep down there? and live down there? >> i thought there was a height limit for submarine, there is not. the commodore is a number of commands, he's 6'4", host taller than me. there are taller folks who served in the service. . the first thing i did was bang my head. i learned. >> you're constantly bending
4:48 am
down, space is such a premium there, everything has dual uses, that's the way it is. the ward room where the officers eat is an operating area. >> picture my team and i, we were in a state room. state room had as much space adds an airplane bathroom. >> rooub doing the fly byes buzzing u.s. vessels. how do the subs play into that? >> it's part of it, we see it in the air, we don't see it underwater bedesign. they've been open that they have subs that they're chasing and this subcame to face in 2012. last time the russians put a sub off the u.s. coast it was during ult u.s. election in 2012. off the coast of florida. it was the u.s. missouri that was called to track that russian

4:53 am
mr. president, hello, my name is mira copeny, i'm one of the children affected by this water, and i've been doing my best. >> president obama visiting flint, michigan, to try to reassure the people of flint that the federal government has their back in the water crisis. he said he was inspired to visit by that letter, read from that 8-year-old, mari copeny, also known as little miss flint. good morning, guys. >> good morning. >> good morning. >> great to see both of you. so mari, when you wrote the letter to president obama, what message were you trying to give him?
4:54 am
were you trying to tell him what your life was like in flint and with the water crisis? >> uh-huh. >> we saw that. we saw that you said that you were one of the children affected by the crisis. you also made a plea to meet him. did you ever think that the president would respond to your letter and that you would meet him? >> huh-huh. >> lulu, tell us about the process, why mari wanted to write the letter to the president and how you tried to say to her, you tried to inject reality, look, the president is a busy man and i don't think he'll have time to meet you. >> she is the type of kid that we were heading to d.c. for the congressional hearings and she wanted to ask. you never know what could happen. we thought literally nothing would come of it. we knew that. but as we all know, he decided to write back.
4:55 am
>> so mari, tell us about how he met president obama. >> uh-huh. >> how was it? >> good. it was amazing. >> what did you like about it? >> when he said do your homework. that was at school. >> that's a good message. did you expect he was going to pick you up and give you a big hug like we're seeing? >> uh-huh. >> lulu, what was that moment like to watch with your daughter and the president? >> it was so heartwarming. she ran and jumped right into his arms, like they were old best friends. sweetest thing i've ever seen. >> oh, my gosh. the president, you know, wrote back. i mean, you warned mari that the letter might fall on deaf ears or be put into some pile and the president is a busy man, may not be able to respond to an
4:56 am
8-year-old's letter. however, he did, he wrote back. i'll read a portion of it. he said he wanted you guys to be the first to know that he was going to visit flint yesterday. he announced it to you guys before he did to the public. he said letters from kids like you, mari, are what make me so optimistic for the future. i hope to meet you next week, little miss flint. lulu, what was her response when you got the letter? >> oh, well, she didn't know when the letter came. we wanted to surprise her at school. i think she thought she was being pranked. she first looked at me like i was crazy and then she was really excited. >> so mari, what do you think about the president now? >> super cool? >> uh-huh. >> you think he is cool. can you believe he actually wrote back to you? was that a surprise?
4:57 am
>> uh-huh. >> hey, lulu, can you just give us a little glimpse into what it has been like for your family with the flint water crisis? how mahas it affected you? >> we can't use our water at all. we have one of the highest levels of chloroform in the shower test bid city. we can't bathe in it, we can't drink it. we get rashes that look similar to chemical burns. our whole life is nothing but bottled water. >> so when you saw the president hoist the glass of the filtered water and drink it, did that give you comfort or are you skeptical? >> i'm very skeptical, because he epa isn't doing enough testing what is causing the rashes or why our water can smell like bleach and burns my eyes. if it burns my eyes, i don't want to ingest it. >> so lulu, what is the message
4:58 am
here for mari? what are you hoping she takes away from this? >> i want her to know, and i think she knows now, that one girl can change the world. >> because it was her letter that inspired the president's visit. mari and lulu, great to talk to you. thank you. thank you for waking up early. great to see you. >> okay. >> bye-bye. following a lot of news, including interviews with donald trump and hillary clinton. let's get to it. >> so far, we're off to a good start. i've been able to point out some weaknesses. i like john. i went for the knockout. hillary doesn't have a clue. >> he is a loose cannon and loose cannons tend to misfire. this is a classic case of a blustering, bullying guy. >> is there a lot of
4:59 am
nervousness. >> i've seen the presidency up close and i think know what it takes. >> set into motion a life-saving mission to get prince to a doctor. >> paisley park, he is not breathing. >> one of the staff members started screaming. he saw that prince was unconscious. >>announcer: this is "new day" with chris cuomo and al lins co. john berman joins me. great to have you here. >> good morning. up first, donald trump taking his first real steps, the presumptive nominee, potential running mates. telling cnn, just how shocked even he is at how fast he came out on top. this morning, though, a gop senator is calling for a third party candidate to run, so what does this mean for a divided party? >> meantime, hillary clinton is targeting donald trump. she called him a risky choice,
5:00 am
saying the country cannot take a chance on a loose cannon. this, as bernie sanders is making clear he is in the race until the last vote is cast. six months out now from the general election in november. but the election war is already well underway. let's bring in phil mattingly in columbus, ohio. good morning, phil. >> reporter: good morning, john. for months,top gop officials grappling with the possibility, now grappling with the reality. donald trump is the presumptive nominee, and it has major ramifications across the party. but all the way up and down ballot races. it surprised many, even donald trump. >> i'm even surprised by it. >> donald trump's elevation to presumptive nominee of the republican party happened suddenly, even for donald trump. >> i thought i would be going longer. >> his ascent has conservatives scrambling, deciding to back a billionaire about his disdain
5:01 am
for the party. >> the republican system is rigged, but more, in a much more sophisticated way. >> both former presidents bush have made it clear, they will not support trump, according to close aides. bush 41s, quote, retired from politics and his son does not plan to participate in or comment on the presidential campaign. in an interview with wolf blitzer, trump is looking ahead and hitting his clearest target, the likely nominee hillary clinton, falsely -- >> do you know who started it? do you know who questioned his birth certificate? hillary clinton. she is the one that started it. she brought it up years before it was brought up by me. and you know, so she can talk. look, here is a person, under investigation by the fbi. she is only going to get the nomination because it is a rigged deal. and frankly, maybe she won't even be able to run. >> the new standard bearer of
5:02 am
the republican party outlining some of his potential policies, taking a cue from bernie sanders. when asked if he'll raise the minimum wage. >> i'm looking at that, because i'm very different from most republicans. i mean, you have to have something you can live on. what i'm really looking to do is get people great jobs so they make much more money than that, more money than the 15$15. if you start playing around with the lower number, you're not going to be competitive. >> his ban from muslims entering the u.s. >> are you sticking with the temporary ban. >> until we figure out what's going on, we have to be tough, we have to be vigilant, why he. >> trump, now focused on potential running mates. >> i'm starting to think about it soon. we'll be vetting people. >> a possible push to unify the gop, name checking previous rivals who have since supported him. >> i'm going to set up a committee. i may put ben carson on the committee. i may put chris christie on the
5:03 am
committee. i've gotten along with john well. but john, whether he is vice-president or not, he'll be very helpful with ohio. >> john kasich has always said there is zero chance that he would be trump's vp. but his future, still left unknown. >> i have always said that the lord has a purpose for me as he has for everyone. and as i suspend my campaign today, i have renewed faith that the lord will show me the way forward. >> and guys, all eyes here in columbus, really across the republican party, want to know what john kasich will do next. not just related to a potential vice-president pick, but his support in general for donald trump. kasich, one of many tomorrow republican officials who grew sharply critical of trump over the campaign. a lot of the officials have grudgingly accepted trump as the nominee. they'll vote for the nominee.
5:04 am
they're facing this head on right now. during his speech, announcing the suspension of his campaign, deciding not to take questions from reporters. a lot of republican officials aren't going to have that option in the weeks and months ahead, alisyn. >> it will be interesting to see how he responds in the future. phil, thanks for that. hillary clinton, a new round of attacks. telling cnn anderson cooper, a trump presidency is too big a risk to take. cnn chris frates is live in washington. >> reporter: good morning, alisyn. wasting no time freshly minted gop nominee, slamming donald trump in an exclusive interview with our own anderson cooper. >> i think he is a loose cannon and loose cannons tend to misfire. >> hillary clinton says she is ready to take on donald trump in the general election, brushing off the crooked hillary mondice. >> i've seen the presidency up close from two different perspectives, i know what it
5:05 am
takes. i don't think we can take a risk on donald trump running our country. donald trump has said its okay for other countries to get nuclear weapons. that's down right dangerous. >> elsewhere, clinton treading more light, declining to say if she agrees with this tweet with elizabeth warren, trump built his campaign on racism, sexism and zeen -- zeen that phobia. . -- >> do you think he is a racist? >> i'm going to let people judge for themselves. >> clinton also seems unfaced by trump's personal barbs. >> he has made reference to your marriage, your husband? >> well, he is not the first one, anderson. i can't say this often enough. he wants to go back to the playbook of the 1990s, if he wants to follow in the footsteps of those who have tried to knock
5:06 am
me down and take me out of the political arena, i'm more than happy to have him do that. >> you're ready for that? >> oh, please. look, this is -- this is, to me, a classic case of a blustering bullying guy who has knocked out of the way all the republicans, because they were just dumbfounded. >> fresh off his indiana primary victory, bernie sanders also criticizing trump's tactics at his rally last night. >> i know there is a lot of nervousness around this country that donald trump may become president. ain't gonna happen. the american people will never elect a candidate who insults people every single day in incredibly ugly ways. >> now, sanders stuck mostly to
5:07 am
criticizing donald trump. he didn't mention clinton at all in his speech last night, but remains to be seen if this kindler gentler bernie sanders will stay that way. in all the remaining contests to clinch the nomination, he has vowed to take his way to the convention, hoping convince enough super delegates to switch sides and hand him the nomination. john, back to you my friend. >> chris frates in washington, thanks so much. gearing up what could be a general election like we've never seen before. let us discuss now with donald trump supporter, former governor of arizona, thanks for being with us. nice to see you again. >> good to be with you, john. >> moments ago, donald trump did an interview where he said there is a 40% chance that he will pick his running mates from among the people that were competing against him to be president of the united states. that's pretty high. so of the 16 people he was running against, just wondering
5:08 am
if you have an opinion, one or two you think who make a good running mate. >> well, i certainly think he has some really great, good quality republicans to choose from. i know the majority of them, if not all of them. i think that john kasich would serve him well. he has a long history of representing the state of ohio in congress. he has worked at the pentagon. he was very successful turning the budget around. a great guy, personally. he has done a wonderful job in ohio. chris christie, you know, very knowledgeable. you know, all of them are good. and you know, he is going to have to make that decision, somebody that he is comfortable with, somebody he can work with, that can implement his plans and his policies. and i look forward to hearing all about it. >> we'll mark you down on kasich and christi for now. donald trump has turned his focus to the general election.
5:09 am
he is running alone in the republican race. we're hearing more from him about policy, and what he would do as president. our wolf blitzer had a chance to speak with him in the last 24 hours, asking donald trump about the minimum wage. now, remember, donald trump at one point said actually he thinks wages need to be lower, not higher. but listen to what he told wolf blitzer. >> bernie sanders says he wants $15 an hour minimum wage. and he has gone after you for saying you're happy with $7.25, the current federal minimum wage. you can't live on $7.25 an hour. >> no, i'm actually looking at that, because i'm very different from most republicans. you have to have something that you can live on. but what i'm really to do is get people great jobs so they make much more money than that. >> is this a shift for donald trump, before he said he didn't want to raise the minimum wage and now he is looking at it. that seems to be a shift? >> well, you know, i don't know
5:10 am
whether it is a shift or not, or i don't know the whole background on his philosophy in regards to that. but traditionally, we know you have to have a good economy, you have to have a job, in order to get any kind of wages. and traditionally, if the economy is good and wages will rise. if people work hard, they get better money. our economy has sunk. irrelevant it's terrible. we're probably headed into another recession. we need someone like mr. trump, bringing jobs back to our country, get people employed, and the minimum wage probably will raise -- >> but the minimum wage, a lot of people were concerned during the primary that donald trump would say one thing in the primaries, then say something else in the general election. the general election is all of 20 hours old and he already does appear to be saying something different. do you see where there might be concern there? >> well, we all know that as we
5:11 am
move forward through these races, traditionally, year after year, election after election, candidates that, you know, they pivot, but what donald is trying to say, you bring jobs back to the country, you're going to increase the economy and if you have an increased economy, the wages will raise. >> what is his plan to have wages go up? what is the economic plan he is going to use to raise wages? >> well, i certainly think he will get rid of rules and regulations, he is going to put people ababack to work, close d the companies that are working here, as an example in west virginia, coal mienls, a good clean way to maintain and make sure those people maintain their jobs in west virginia and likewise, in other places. use our resources that we have here in the united states. you know, fair trade is really, really important. we know we're out maneuvered on
5:12 am
a lot of trade that is taking place in china and korea. there is multiple ways of doing it. it is a new, fresh face. somebody that has been successful himself in business. and didn't come by it lightly. and he will be able to implement those kinds of things and strategies here in the united states. and the american people are very supportive of him, obviously. >> the republican party, he did -- he did win the republicans right now. he is the presumptive nominee, no question about that. there is some dissension of the republican party. we've heard from a number of republicans saying they'll never vote for trump, one even told us he'll support hillary clinton if he had to. in your own state of arizona, the two senators, jeff flake and john mccain, i don't know that either of them said they'll vote for donald trump. what is your message to these republicans who are reluctant? >> well, just to correct the record, you know, i have not
5:13 am
heard that senator mccain nor senator flake said they would not vote for mr. trump. >> i haven't heard it say it in the affirmative just yet. >> yeah, well, you know, and i'm not -- i lost my train of thought. the bottom line is that i think that dividing our party is absolutely ridiculous. it's wrong. what are they going to do? vet for hillary? i mean do they like the hillary policy, somebody that is not a truth teller, somebody that we have been able to vet for 30 years. we know what she stands for. you know, she is a left wing liberal who doesn't tell the truth. >> let me ask you ben saas, calling for a third party to run. are you saying that republicans now who are not lining up behind donald trump, are you saying they're not real republicans? >> well, i think that trying to
5:14 am
divide the republican party and our standard platform is ridiculous. i mean, you've got a choice here. are you going to support hillary, are you going to divide the republicans and lose the presidency. it's just simply irrational to me. i know mr. trump. i think as people get to know him better, and work with him, that they will become supportive. he is a very kind, thoughtful person. he listens. and he can put the pieces together. and lead this country out of the disaster that we've been living through for the last eight years. >> he has six months until the general election. >> he can unite -- >> he has six months to make the case. he has time where he is running in the clear before his own convention. we'll see how he does. governor jan brewer. thanks for being with us. u.s. army captain suing president obama, saying the president does not have the
5:15 am
proper legal authority from congress to wage war on isis and iraq and syria. 28-year-old captain nathan smith filing the lawsuit, as the president deploys more special ops to the region. smith says he strongly supports fighting isis but wants to uphold the constitution. the suit filed a day after a third service member in the u.s. was killed, sorry, led the campaign, no comment from the white house. california raising the legal age to buy tobacco to 21. active duty can be 18. vaping will be banned in theaters, public places where smoking is already banned. it takes effect in five weeks. you have to see this dramatic video out of utah. you can see a chopper, hovering over crews on a rescue mission on the side of the mountain. they were about to load a woman's body into the helicopter, when the safety rope suddenly gets caught in the
5:16 am
blade. the chopper immediately loses control. the rescuers tumble down the rocks, as the tail of the chopper flies over their heads. believe it or not, the chopper landed safely in a nearby field, and everyone here is okay. >> that is amazing. >> that is amazing. i don't know how, you know, helicopters fly on a good day. they're so sort of of. >> it makes you want to get in one. >> no, it doesn't actually. 16 minutes after the hour right now. be bernie who? hillary clinton has been laser focused on donald trump. what is her plan to battle the republican presumptive nominee. we'll ask her chief strategist, next. i'm really looking forward to this spinach salad. it's got quinoa in it! (vo) it's the little things that make a big difference. courtyard, make room for a little fun.

do you think the general election campaign has already started you versus hillary clinton, that for all practical purposes, bernie sanders is out? >> well, i think what has happened, there has been a little flip. i'm even surprised by it. i thought i would be going longer and she would be going shorter. she can't put it away. >> that was donald trump, telling cnn's wolf blitzer that hillary clinton cannot overcome bernie sanders, and cannot put it away. clinton labeling trump a loose cannon and a risky choice. what kind of challenge will the presumptive nominee, if she climplgs the nomination.
5:21 am
let's ask joel bennettson. >> that was donald trump, that even he sees, he secured the nomination before hillary clinton. are you surprised by that in. >> i think most experts acknowledged before last tuesday that hillary clinton had secured the nomination that we had piled up an insurmountable lead. >> that's not what bernie sanders says. >> i understand what -- bernie sanders has been saying that all the way through. he said he'll do everything he can to make sure donald trump never becomes president. the math is the math. everyday there is another construction from the sanders campaign about, oh, how this person will switch, we're going to get more pledged delegates. those are people grasping at answers that aren't real at this moment. hillary clinton will be the nominee of the democratic party. >> this was supposed to be more of a cake walk than it ended up being. people didn't predict by may 4th, she wouldn't really have secured it yet and bernie
5:22 am
sanders would still be fighting. i think that trump's point, he says she can't close the deal. >> look, bernie sanders has run a strong campaign. he has galvanized a part of the democratic party that feels very passionate about issues that all democrats care about. how do we get incomes rising again. how do we get the economy working for average people out there working hard and still not getting where they want to be, working two jobs trying to make it work. the truth here is, though, much more that unites us as democrats than divides us from republicans. they've had a much more contentious debate. several people have dropped out because they can't sustain their campaign. senator sanders will make his decisions going forward, but the fact is, we'll be a united front behind hillary clinton to defeat donald trump. >> she seemed very sanguin that
5:23 am
they'll go after both barrels. but when anderson gave her an opportunity to go after donald trump, with both barrels, she didn't take the opportunity. so let me play that moment for you. >> elizabeth warren tweeted out that donald trump has built his campaign on racism, sexism and xenophobia. >> i think elizabeth warren is very smart. >> do you agree with that statement? >> i think anybody who has listened to him and how he has talked certainly can draw that conclusion. >> do you think he is a racist? >> i'm going to let people judge for themselves. >> so she wouldn't say whether or not she thought he was a racist or xeno phobe. >> she has said repeatedly that he has used bigoted language and said very clearly, you don't make america great by tearing down what has made america great. she has said what makes america great is our diversity, the fact that this nation was built by immigrants, people who come to
5:24 am
the country because they aspire, build a better fut are for their children. that's a big difference between hillary clinton and donald trump. donald trump talks about making america great, but he has no recipe for keeping america great. hillary clinton does. she is the one candidate, talking about making a real difference in people's lives that brings america together, that can solve the biggest challenges we face. she has said repeatedly, he is divisive, dangerous and risky candidate. >> how worried are you all about what the general election could look like in terms of the tone and what donald trump will throw at her? >> i think, look, donald trump is, i mean, secretary clinton yesterday said he is a loose cannon. people have seen that. he says outlandish things day-to-day. but i think more importantly here is people will judge this in your own poll yesterday, cnn showed this, somebody who can get health care costs down for me and my family, make sure my kid gets a good education, no
5:25 am
matter what zip code we live in. on all of those categories, dealing with income and equality, hillary clinton has a significant advantage, close to 20 points or more over donald trump. >> there is one place where she doesn't have an advantage over donald trump. that is where the voters say the economy is most important to them. let me put up the numbers. >> i know the numbers 50-45. >> what is it. >> a smaller gap than any republican has ever had going against the democratic. >> he still wins. >> no, going against any democratic, republicans when you just ask a general question about economy always have an advantage over democrats. i've looked at this polling data for tiny. mitt romney had a big gap over barack obama. when american people judge who will make the economy better, it's about their health care cost, access to health care, getting education for their kids, getting college education. >> are you saying in the polling booth, it ends up not mattering,
5:26 am
they vote for the republican for the economy? >> the ingredients of what comprises who will be better on the economy, those things that people are struggling with in their lives everyday, not a broad question about the economy, but will you help me when it comes to education, health care, creating good paying jobs that i want for myself and family, and on those metrics, democrats have been winning. in this election, the contest will be clear and hillary clinton will maintain her double digit advantage over donald trump on improving people's health care, improving education and getting incomes rising. >> joel great to you have here on "new day." frantic moments to get prince help in the hours before he died. we're going to look at what his friends tried to do to save him. talking to hln's dr. drew pinsky on painkillers. wild-caught alaskan salmon.

prince's death. a frantic effort to get him help for an parent battle with painkillers, in the house just before he died. stephanie alam live at paisley park in minneapolis. what have you learned,
5:31 am
stephanie? >> reporter: alisyn, according to the doctor, the lawyer representing the doctor in california, he was called the night before prince died. remember, he died that morning. so this could have been a call for help that just came too late. the night before he died, prince's representatives making a desperate call to dr. howard kornfeld, who specializes in treating people who are addicted to pain medication. >> he set into motion a plan to deal with what he felt was a life-saving mission. that mission was to get prince to a doctor in minnesota on thursday morning. >> unable to travel from california immediately, kornfeld and his son, andrew, who works at his father's treatment fas see on an overnight flight to minneapolis. andrew arrived at the paisley park estate thursday morning, with two of prince's associates.
5:32 am
anxiously searching for the singer, but discovering him unresponsive. >> one of the staff men's started screaming, andrew heard the screams, and went to the elevator, where he saw that prince was unconscious. >> paramedic at paisley park. person not breathing. >> andrew kornfeld identified as the 911 caller, telling the dispatcher, the person is dead here and people are just distraught. this, as the former lawyer for his siblings, they revealed his addiction to percocet before his death. dwayne nelson said he used to get the drug for prince, to help him calm down after shows. it was not just a recognitionnal user. >> he mentioned how stressful it was having to fulfill the need and how hard it was for him. >> reporter: now, since both of the half siblings have passed
5:33 am
away, cnn cannot verify what this lawyer has said. but we do know that dwayne nelson at one point worked for prince at paisley park. and was fired, and then ended up suing his famous half brother. john and alisyn. >> stephanie in minnesota. thank you so much. more to talk aboprince's de, the treatment in the final hours, dr. drew pinsky, obviously the story, all the details are true, so tragic. they had people on the way to prince to try to get him help for what appears to be some kind of addiction. you know, i suppose the question is, was it fast enough? if you are close to prince, trying to get him help, if someone immediates to come all the way to california prr, were there mer mmm he asures that sh been taken. >> i'm not certain he had addiction. he clearly had abuse and dep
5:34 am
dedents. behave yol problems, multiple treatments, concerned about his relationship with substances. what we see is abuse, abuse, and a sudden problem later in life. as far as could they have done something different than calling out of state for a physician to give him special care, the fact is, guys, he lived four miles from the premiere treatment center in this country. the hazelton city center is eight minutes from his house. two left turns and took him there is to me egregiously problematic. >> i mean, look -- >> he could have been saved obviously. >> he was concerned about privacy. he wanted -- >> that's too bad. no, listen. that's the worst thing you can do for an addict in a celebrity is to that be the priority. it is a hospital. the confidentiality will be maintained. he can be assured of that. what you have an addict
5:35 am
dictating how the care goes, and insulated surrounding of people cosigning that, and you end up with a dead person. listen, if we learn nothing from conrad murray, special care for a special person, you end up with a terrible outcome. >> the reports suggest that the doctor kornfeld he was working with in california had tried to coordinate or been in contact with a doctor in minneapolis, there was also going to administer care hours, but you no, they had agreed to this hours before he died. so who knows, okay. but i want to get back to what you were saying. there are millions of people in this country who are addicted to painkillers. i want to get back to the difference that you draw between addiction and dependency. i know what you mean, because nobody who saw prince performing days before he died thought, oh, he looks like an addict, he must have some drug problems. he looked normal. so what is the difference between dependence and addiction? >> it is a hard line to draw. i can't from, what we know so
5:36 am
far, make it with any strict determination. but the fact is, addiction is a biological disorder of the brain. it has a genetic basis. it is a progressive disorder as opposed to dependency what we see very commonly these days, people getting involved with pain medication, a little dirty secret about opiates, they intensify pain overtime. they pursue meds, they look like an addict. the problem here, my friends, in this country, is that 81% of the percocet prescribed between 1991 and 2013 on the globe was prescribed in this country. 100% of the vicodin, on heaeart prescribed in this country. it is a profound problem here. are we enlightened how we approach pain or a cultural problem with how we deal with our prescription medication. >> it does appear that prince
5:37 am
did suffer from pain. he had operations. >> sure. >> in the 2000s to deal with the surgeries, his hips, he worked hard on stage. so how does someone who is such a control freak aspiri prince apparently was, how can he mman it? >> they're excellent for cancer pain, acute pain, surgical pain. the problem is for chronic pain, there really is good science that isn't what auto we should be using for pain. the problem is, we do. patients get caught in the cycle. the patient sees it as a solution. the treatments are varied. i'm not saying dr. kornfeld is not, but they have a treatment center that is really one of the world's premiere treatment centers around the corner and they have to call out of state
5:38 am
for special care. it drives me crazy to see the special care of special people, but you end up is getting substandard or inappropriate care. the reason the standard of care is the standard is because it is the best. they need to just take the care and rely on the confidentiality. >> so dr. pinsky, if somebody is l li . >> this is a nuance story, hard to tell in three minutes on the television. make sure you are first of all have a goal of getting off opio opioids. there are usually other modalities available. if you are also, if you're triggered a second problem, we call addiction, make sure the addiction gets treated as well. >> dr. drew pinsky, thanks for being with us. >> it is such a unique story and such a universal story, because so many people are struggling with it. >> just a couple of miles away.

i think i'm going to do very well, but i'm going to put states in play that no other republican will even talk about or go to. >> all right, that was donald trump, the presumptive nominee, talking confidently about the general election and claiming he can win some states the republicans have not won in decades. the electoral math suggests an uphill battle. let's discuss the road to 270 with executive editor, mark preston. let's look back in time, because that will be instructive for what will happen in the future, perhaps. what do you see here? >> this is the baseline that we're working off right now, you
5:50 am
know. what we're seeing here is a map where hillary clinton thinks she can win. >> this is where president obama won. >> correct, correct. this gets you victory at this point, okay. this is based upon public polling. this is we're at. >> they they, though, the clinton thinks or hopes or is spinning that they can expand this map. >> they are. now, what is interesting here, two of these states, nevada and colorado, barack obama won back in 2012. hillary clinton thinks that she can pick up this state right here, which is the state of arizona, and when you do that, add in ee lk tolectoral votes, s up to 283. >> clinton campaign, rosest picture, they'll include this here, georgia. >> correct. if they were to win georgia, that gets you 16 more. we haven't added to the total. they think that because if you go back to 2012, the obama campaign in the closing weeks thought they could pick up
5:51 am
arizona, they thought they could pick up georgia. given the trump rhetoric on the issue of immigration, that's why they were looking at arizona now and if you talk about increasing the african-american vote down in georgia, and if you have the likes of eric erickson and other conservative types that can't vote for trump, georgia will be in play. >> let's look at this scenario what do you see here? >> if you look there, a rosy scenario right now looking at historical precedent for donald trump, the reason looking at these states, he has been preaching this message about bringing back jobs. you look at pennsylvania, you look at ohio, you look at michigan, wisconsin, all states that have been hurt rust belt states that have been hurt by trade packs, nafta and others. donald trump has been preaching that message, but if you look at, again, historical analysis, the last time they won pennsylvania, republicans, back in 1988, george w. bush won ohio in '04, and then you have to go to '88 for michigan as well, the
5:52 am
last time republicans won there. then all the way back to reagan's second term back in '84 when they won michigan. >> there is a sense that wisconsin is drifting more republican over time, as is minnesota, but pennsylvania here, which is in this group, drifting more democratic, and could be even harder for trump now. >> specifically when you look at pennsylvania and you look at the two core cities, pittsburgh, very big union strong hold still in pittsburgh at a time when unions are collapsing a little, and then you're looking at philadelph philadelphia, a big urban area that always votes democratic. >> here are other places that donald trump thinks he'll have the advantage, namely places he lives, has homes. so new york, florida, now new york, it's interesting to look at where the polls were recently. it's hillary clinton has the advantage as of a month ago in new york, 61 to his 32. >> the bottom line, where we stand right now is not the
5:53 am
epicenter of conservatism by any stretch of the imagination. the last time republicans won new york, let's go back to reagan's second term, 1984 is the last time they did. of course, when you look at these rust belt states, it was in the '80s. when you look at michigan and pennsylvania, florida, again, a battle ground down there. but again, democrats, specifically hillary clinton campaign is going to hammer home the message that trump is anti-hispanic, down there and you're talking about puerto rico in all of the central american immigrants that have moved into florida. >> one of the things you here in the primary, donald trump he won florida, almost got 50% in florida. he won new york, he got nearly 60% in new york. why doesn't a primary win lead to hope? >> because you're looking a small sliver. you're not talking about democrats. he won 50% of a republican vote that was split across the board. he did very well, if you all recall, we thought jeb bush, the
5:54 am
former governor or kurpts senator, marco rubio were going to walk away with new york. donald trump ended up winning it. we get to the general election, you're looking at a bigger pile of voters that will be divided up. >> marco rubio, jeb, do they hold any sway? >> yeah, they hold a little sway, but endorsements are much overrated. >> what about vp picks, any where on the map that could help him? >> if you want to go back to ohio there, his best option would be to go to ohio and of course, we saw john kasich is one time rival, get out of the race yesterday. john kasich not only could help deliver the 18 ee lk tolectoral but kasich coming back to washington as a legislature. >> he says he is not interested. >> i'm not surprised, quite frankly. >> rob portman, also on the short list. mark preston, thanks to have you with us.
5:55 am
>> thank you. 300 children, the good stuff. >> that's busy. >> a lot of good stuff. >> a lot. >> right after this. i'll give you everything i've got and then some. he gives a hundred and ten percent! i'm confident this 10% can boost your market share. feel me lois? i'm feeling you. boom! look at that pie chart. the ready for you alert, only at laquinta.com.
