i'm being treated very poorly. this judge is mexican heritage. i'm building a wall, okay, i'm building a wall. >> donald trump's not just wrong about judge curio, he's wrong about america. he's wrong about what makes this country great. >> the democratic national convention will be a contested convention. >> we went up to the ali center and i walked through there and i had to grab tissues. i started crying.

you can't help it. >> i think he would have been a successful athlete in any sport. he was incredibly gifted as an athlete. now we are always so grateful to see you especially early in the morning. i'm christi paul with. >> joe johns and with victor blackwell. this is the final sunday before the final super tuesday of the primary season. >> pretty much. we're going to get to that obviously because there's so much politics to talk about, but we do want to get to first to the breaking news hearing out of california. video here. a wall of fire going through the upscale neighborhood. the calabasas fire. it's 15% contained this morning. >> at least 5,000 people forced to flee the area which is home to celebrities such as the

kardashians, jessica simpson and jessica braxton. this fire might have started when a truck hit a power pole. steve gentry is joining us. you have recorded video of firefighters battling this fire. how serious is this from your perspective? >> reporter: the situation was very serious. things here in california, they're very dry, and it doesn't take a whole lot for a fire to get going and spread really rapidly. at one point the fire was right up through to the backyards of a lot of the homes and residents in that area to the point where even sheriff's deputies were grabbing fire hoses and using them to fight the fire. >> any sense of how long it's

going to take to get this under control? there are several celebrities tweeting about it. >> reporter: as far as i know the evacuation center was at a high school. as for how long, i'm not really a firefighter so i can't tell you, but i would say probably just taking a guess it will probably end up being sometime later this evening that they'll start letting people back in. >> steve, just real quickly. i mean, you've seen so many of these fires. help us understand how serious this is compared to what you've seen in the past. >> reporter: very -- it's very serious. it's very serious any time that you have a fire in residential areas. the first job of a firefighter is to save lives and to save property and they need to be

able to do that in a very safe way. and with the conditions throughout california the way they are, the fires are moving much more rapid than they have in the past. >> yeah. steve gentry, we appreciate you being with us, especially so early in the morning as we know it is out there. thank you for bringing it to us from your perspective. we appreciate your time. >> reporter: thank you. >> thank you. >> reporter: you're welcome. this morning hillary clinton is inching closer to the democratic presidential nomination. the former secretary of state notching a win overnight in the u.s. virgin islands caucuses soundly defeating bernie sanders with 84% of the vote. now if we look at the latest delegate count, hillary clinton is now just 63 delegates shy of the magic number of 2383.

>> today puerto rico holds its democratic primary. 60 pledge delegates there. this could push her to the brink of the nomination. she is expected to pass the delegate threshold tuesday in california. there are such a significant number of delegates at stake for the democrats in california. >> plus, i think very interesting is she could cross the threshold in new jersey even before the polls close in california. on the republican side, donald trump says no one respects women more than he does, but a new report shows a troubling pay gap between the sexes. according to a "boston globe" analysis, donald trump's male staffers are paid nearly 6100 compared to $4500 for their female counterparts. a 35% difference in pay. the campaign paid staffers on

the clinton said roughly equals amount. this is coming as the presumptive nominee is battling lawsuits claiming his trump university is nothing more than a scam. we're joined by scotty hughes along with miami beach mayor and hillary clinton campaign surrogate. thank you both for getting up early. >> >> good morning. >> scotty, let's start with you. donald trump has made his early promotion of women in his construction business a key part of his record. why let this disparity happen on the campaign? it seemingly shows how he will compensate employees. >> great word. it suggests it.

already in the numbers they leaked, they've added 60 employees. both campaigns have changed since april but what they did is they compared apples to oranges. you're sitting here looking at the clinton campaign that has 731 employees at this point compared to donald trump who has 113. you have more numbers to look at when you're averaging out. >> scotty, let me just stop you right there. right there at the top you said that this was a reflection of april. in other words, the campaign has changed the way it pays women after april? >> no, i'm saying that it's added more staff onto it so you can sit there and talk about the averages compared to male compared to women and you can't do that when your numbers are already off. 60 more additional staff members on the clinton campaign changes their numbers as well. here's what's interesting about this. let's talk about bernie sanders. a gender disparity is on the

sanders campaign. the ten highest paid staff members are all men. women on his cam pain make $1,000 less than average than the men. they're the same kind of numbers and totals than clinton. they compared communication versus senior staff which is your campaign manager and campaign. to sit there and do this, and the reason why this is happening, by the way, is because clinton got caught. she got caught when she was paying her senate staff members, the women, 76 cents to every dollar to men. the clinton foundation, the ton man makes 215,000 compared to 115,000 today. >> let's move on to trump university. one of that school's top rated instructors, james harris, told "the washington post" i was told to do one thing, to show up to teach, to train, to motivate people to purchase trump university products and

services. so "the daily beast" has reported that this instructor was a convicted felon, that he never went to college. i think the question arising from that is whether it sort of plays into the charge that trump university was shady. >> depends if you're looking at it as being shady. mr. trump never said this was an accredited university. this was more like a seminar, business teaching. guess what, it was up to these folks. who ever goes in and blindly trusts a name and puts down a credit card for $35,000 without looking into the instructors themselves? i don't do that when i go into the ballot box and i didn't do that with my education. >> wait a minute. you're saying the people who say they were defrauded are, in fact, responsible for whatever it was that happened to them? >> you have to sit there and look at responsibility. it's not like these people immediately went in and put down $35,000. they were up charged.

they continued to buy in order to get to these levels. maybe mr. trump hired great salespeople, that's what it was, it was all about marketing and sales, but the key was we're sitting here showing one side of the story with all of the ones that are part of this lawsuit that are complaining and we're not showing the people that are actually very happy. there's multiples of those. there are numerous ones of those. there's a reason why it has the better business bureau rating. let's talk about those people who are happy with their experience at trump university. >> there are questions. we'll have to debate that another time as to whether these people were sort of under duress when they were filling out their reviews. let's move on. phillip, i want to get to you. clinton's use of the private e-mail is a story and the server she used still under investigation. there is a separate lawsuit by judicial watch, the man who helped set up clinton's private server, brian pagliano just had

his deposition delayed. he's expected to invoke his fifth amendment. potentially another problem for hillary clinton should the video be made public? >> let me address this. regarding trump university, i'm going to get into the e-mails. i'm not a supporter of donald trump. i have to say this maybe in defense of donald trump. the students that enrolled in trump university, they did learn trump's ee krets of success. think of the courses they took, one owe one, fraud. one owe two, misrepresentation. course number 103, deception, over promise, under delivering. the reality is at trump university, they got his business secrets to success. i think it's important that we bring that out because that's exactly what they were. >> just to be clear, alleged fraud. alleged misrepresentation. >> alleged fraud. i even heard that bernie madoff

was one of the visiting professors. you have to love the fighting proc tors. getting to the e-mail situation. oh, my god, she used the wrong server. nothing was confidential. we realize that. everyone was doing the same thing. >> well, not everybody. not everybody. >> no. >> they all did and everyone used the same service and colin powell did, condi rice did. >> no. >> the fact is he was granted immunity, it was wonderful. the clinton campaign is happy that he testified. it's important. the same thing again, nothing happened. there's nothing there. this is old news we're bringing back again that means nothing. >> thank you both so much. good to see you all on this early morning. scotty and phillip, thank you very much. >> thank you. and a programming reminder, stay with cnn for super tuesday election coverage. that's all day tuesday right here on cnn.

big public memorial now planned for legendary muhamm muhammad ali. >> good morning. you can see behind me the growing memorial. ali once said, i wish people would love everybody else the way they love me. it would be a great world. we're seeing how much people love the great superstar. we'll have more on a live report. it's the answer to the question baby! silverado. oooh that's cool. it's truck month. qualified buyers get 0% financing for 60 months. plus, find your tag and get $8,250 total value on this silverado all star. find new roads at your local chevy dealer

i'm holding back tears right now. i could cry easily because i have a big heart. i'm a very sensitive man. i've always cried easy and my brother is -- has just passed. and i'll never be able to see him. >> thoughts and prayers going out to muhammad ali's family as they get ready to say their final good-byes to the greatest of all time. they're holding a public funeral this friday in his hometown of louisville, kentucky. the iconic three-time champion died friday night of septic shock. this came after decades of battling parkinson's disease of course. in his final moments he was surrounded by his wife, by his children, some whispering the last words he'd ever hear in his ear. his daughter hannah ali tweeting

we love you. you can go back to god now. ryan smith is with us live in louisville with more information on ali's funeral. you hear that and you just feel for this family. and people can relate to it because people have had to do it before, but this funeral for him is going to be so profound, is it not, based on even just what we're seeing behind you and the way that it's affected that community you're in. >> reporter: well, it really has affected the community. really it affected the world. you look at the sports world and how they reacted to this. outside of that, all of the people who dealt with humanitarians for years talked about what this man meant in terms of how he stood up against injustice. look behind me, you see all of these flowers that have been brought out here. in the end, it was raining yesterday. people were stopping by. a lot of them wanting to pay their respects to the man they knew so well as someone who stood up not only for this area but for people all across the

world who didn't have a voice that he had. in fact, muhammad ali said at one point, the will must be stronger than the skill and he proved that over and over again. the mayor talking about ali's life and what it meant to the city. >> well, we're a grateful city here and grounded in the value of compassion and this is what we're about, certainly it's what the champ was about as well. he leaves a legacy in the ring, no question about that, but the real legacy is the values that he represented and how he wants us to live going forward. i think, you know, his passing right now, we hate it. we knew this day was going to come, but for us here in our city of louisville and around the world, i think the question is what do we do? how do we take up his values? >> reporter: we saw hundreds of people showing up yesterday. this funeral on friday, a lot of people planning to attend. you know the remembrances won't stop for quite some time. >> it will be very comforting

for that community. ryan young, we appreciate it. thank you. coming up, we're going to talk about an american hostage who was held in iran who was crediting muhammad ali with helping to save his life. it's a cnn exclusive. being stolen. that is cyber-crime. and it affects each and every one of us. microsoft created the digital crimes unit to fight cyber-crime. we use the microsoft cloud to visualize information so we can track down the criminals. when it comes to the cloud, trust and security are paramount. we're building what we learn back into the cloud to make people and organizations safer.

new this morning iran is reacting to the death of muhammad ali. a spokesman released this statement saying he was not only a famous champion in the area of boxing but also a hero. >> that statement comes after the boxer was a dominated voice

in the fight to free an american journalist from an iranian prison. cnn's jim sciutto talks to jason rosian about the moment muhammad ali changed his life. >> we know his passion for humanitarian issues span decades and crossed international borders, but here's something you might not know. in the final months of his lives ali tried to help free an american journalist in prison in iran. i'm talking about this man, jason rosian. he was convicted of espy owe naming in iran. while jason was hold up in an iranian prison cell muhammad ali issued a statement, release jason. in it ali wrote, quote, to my knowledge jason is a man of peace and great faith, a man whose dedication and respect for

the iranian people is evident in his work. i support his family, friends and colleagues in their efforts to obtain his release. well, jason joins me now for his very first interview since his release. jason, thank you for taking the time today. >> thanks for having me on, jim. i really appreciate it. >> i want to ask you first just how much this statement meant for you, this statement of support, this call for your release from muhammad ali. >> i'm just getting chills as i read that again. it meant so much to me at the time. my wife came to visit me, which she was allowed to do fairly rarely, and she told me this, that muhammad ali had made this statement, and i can't tell you, i can't express in words how much it meant to me, continues to mean to me. there were so many calls for my release, so much support, but getting the support of the champ

touched me in ways that just still ripple through my life. >> so, jason, you say that the prison guards actually found be out about ali's statement of support and they started treating you differently? >> yes. i mean, the statement was covered in the iranian press, as so many things about my imprisonment were, and they started treating me in a better way. i think it brought some doubt to them about the charges against me. along with that my spirits were lifted and i felt empowered in a way that nothing else -- nothing else lifted me throughout that time. >> it's incredible that that statement from so far away could reach you inside that prison cell so many thousands of miles away. i wonder if you could describe, you spent a lot of years living in iran. just how important muhammad ali was as an american muslim, an american muslim leader, how

important that was in bridge in our world with a muslim country like iran. >> as he was in so many countries, muhammad ali was somebody that the iranian people had been drawn to, had been for many years as a sportsman but also as a muslim and somebody who was doing great charitable work throughout his life. he was everybody's champion just like he was here in america and around the world. >> so, jason, you were in that iranian prison cell until your release for some 545 days. this is the first chance we get to talk to you. i know a lot of folks back home just would like to know simply, how are you doing? >> better and better every day. appreciate the support of everybody throughout the world and back here in the united states. it's just great to be home and i'm in the process of readjustment. it will still take some time,

but by and large i'm feeling really good. >> we know you're a warriors fan. we'll root for them as well to help you along the way. most importantly, thanks for taking the time and we're glad to have you home. >> thanks so much for having me on, jim. donald trump says a judge overseeing a lawsuit against his university is biased because of his mexican heritage. it's a cnn exclusive you'll hear in his own words. >> i have had horrible rulings. i've been treated very unfairly by this judge. this judge is of mexican heritage. i'm building a wall, okay? i'm building a wall. now she's into disc sports. ah, no she's not. since when? since now. she's into tai chi. she found disc sports too stressful. hold on. let me ask you this... what's she gonna like six months from now? who do we have on aerial karate? steve. steve. steve. and alexis. uh, no. just steve. just steve.

. 32 minutes past the hour on this sunday. i'm christi paul. >> i'm joe johns in for victor blackwell. hillary clinton one step closer to clinching the republican nomination. overnight she notched a win in the u.s. virgin island caucuses. she's now 63 delegates shy of the magic number of 2383. in a few hours polls open in puerto rico. 60 pledge delegates at stake in the tiny u.s. territory there. >> donald trump continues to fight off accusations that his attacks on the judge overseeing one of the three trump university lawsuits are racist. >> the presumptive nominee sat down with the "state of the union" host jay tapper as well

as some new attacks by hillary clinton. >> hillary clinton was giving a speech. she had some very tough things to say about you. >> she wasn't giving, she was reading a speech written by other people but go ahead. sound bites. >> one of the things be she said, this was not someone who should have the nuclear codes. it's not hard to imagine donald trump leading us into war because someone got under his very thin skin. what's your response to that. >> first of all, i don't have thin skin, i have very strong, thick skin. if you do a report and it's not necessarily positive and it's right, i never complain. i do complain when it's a lie or when it's wrong, but i have a strong temperament and it's a very good controlled temperament. i wouldn't have built this unbelievable company or i wouldn't have done all of the things i was able to do in life. one of the best selling books in time. i've been -- >> i don't think -- >> wait a minute, jake. i've been successful in every

business i've been in. real estate, one of the most successful. television, the apprentice which is -- forget it. nbc came to me they wanted to renew. >> what does that have to do with temperament. >> you can't have that success without good temperament. i will say this. i was thinking about the word temperament. we need a strong temperament in this country. we have been led by weak, ineffective people. countries have taken advantage of us, whether it's militarily or otherwise. we have been taken advantage of by everybody. we have people with weak temperaments. i have a very strong temperament but i have a temperament totally under control. she mentioned i'll bring us into war. she raised her hand going into iraq. she didn't know what the hell she was doing. i didn't want to go into iraq. >> i want to ask you about comments you made about the judge in the trump university case.

>> sure. >> you said it was a conflict of interest because he was of mexican heritage. hillary clinton said that that is a racist attack on a federal judge. >> she's so wonderful. i mean, here's a woman that should be put in jail for what she did with her e-mails. let me tell you very simple, i have a case where i have thousands of people, thousands and thousands of people have said great reviews. fortunately just about everybody who have taken the course signed a review, an evaluation they call it. it's gotten great reviews. i have a situation where the woman who brought the case brought the case. she was the plaintiff. she was deposed. she was found to be a disaster of them because she gave an evaluation that was the best evaluation, wait one second. >> okay. >> and she did a tape like from your camera saying this was fantastic. fantastic. they went to the judge and said,

your honor, we don't want her anymore to be our plaintiff so we said let's dismiss the case. that's okay. let's dismiss the case. he said, no, i won't dismiss the case. >> what about the heritage? >> i have had ruling after ruling after ruling that has been bad rulings. i've been treated very unfairly. before that we had another judge. let me just tell you, i have had horrible rulings. i've been treated very unfairly by this judge. now this judge is of mexican heritage. i'll building a wall. i'm building a wall. >> no mexican judge could ever be involved in a case that involves you? >> he's a member of society where very pro mexico, it's all fine. >> you're calling into question his heritage. >> then you say does he know the lawyer on the other side? does he know the lawyer? >> i'm not talking about that. >> that's another problem. >> you're invoking his race when talking about whether or not he can do his job.

>> i'm building a wall, okay? i'm building a wall. i'm trying to keep business out of mexico. >> but he's american. >> he's of mexican heritage and he is very proud of it. >> but he's an american. you keep talking about it's a conflict of interest because of mexico. >> jake, jake, in a case that should have been dismissed anyway. i have thousands of people saying trump university is fantastic anyway. i have a case that should have been dismissed. now he loses the plaintiff. he lets the plaintiff of the case out. >> you disagree with his rulings, i totally understand that. >> no. i've had lawyers come up to me saying, you are being treated so unfairly it's unbelievable. you know the plaintiffs in this case have said wonderful things about this. they want to get their money back. >> i don't want to litigate the case of trump university. >> you have to. if he was giving me fair rulings i wouldn't say that. >> my question is -- >> jake, if he were giving me fair rulings i wouldn't be

talking to you this way. >> i don't care if you criticize him. that's fine. you can criticize every decision. what i'm saying is if you invoked his race as a reason why he can't do his job. >> i think that's why he's doing it. >> when hillary clinton says it's a racist attack -- >> hillary clinton is a stiff. >> paul ryan today said he didn't care for the way that you were attacking this judge. >> look, i'm just telling you, paul ryan doesn't know the case. i should have won the case on summary judgment. this is not a case. this is a case i should have won on summary judgment. you know the law firm paid hillary clinton hundreds of thousands of dollars to make speeches. do you know the law firm -- >> i do. we've reported it. we reported it on my show in fact. >> i'm glad. you're the only one. >> a law firm paid hundreds of thousands of dollars to hillary clinton for speeches. >> before either of you were running for president. >> do you know they contributed tremendous amounts of money to her campaign. >> yes. >> do you know they've

contributed a lot of money to eric schneiderman? >> no. >> here's my question. >> i did not know that. >> do you know that they went to every attorney general in the country that they could. this case was turned down by every attorney general. >> if you are saying he can't do his job because of his race, is that not the definition of racism? >> no, i don't think so at all. >> no? >> he's proud much his heritage. >> you're saying he can't do his job because of that. >> look, he's proud of his heritage. i'm building a wall. >> this is a legal decision. >> i'm going to do well with hispanics. err this' going to get jobs. i think i'm going to do very well with hispanics. we're building a wall. he's a mexican. we're building a wall between here and mexico. the answer is he is giving us very unfair rulings, rulings that people can't even believe. >> this case should have ended years ago on summary judgment.

the best lawyers i have spoken to so many lawyers they said, this is not a case. this is a case that slhould hav ended. now i say why. i'm building a wall, okay? it's a wall between mexico, not another country. >> he's not from mexico. he's from indiana. >> he's got mexican heritage and he is he very proud of it. >> programming reminder for you, donald trump, hillary clinton and bernie sanders will all be guests on "state of the union" with jake tapper this morning at 9:00 a.m. eastern on cnn. >> speaking of bernie sanders, why he insists he still has a shot at beating hillary clinton for the nomination. >> the democratic national convention will be a contested convention. protection

only with xfinity. hillary clinton is on the brink of winning the democratic nomination. berch any sanders is vowing to keep his campaign going. yesterday he rallied with thousands of supporters in front of the los angeles coliseum. you see him here. earlier he insisted to reporters that neither candidate would reach the magic number of delegates after the primary has ended. >> at the end of the nominating process no candidate will have enough pledged delegates to call the campaign a victory. they will be dependent upon super delegates.

in other words, the democratic national convention will be a contested convention. >> that pledged delegates was the key word. cnn political reporter mark is here. let me ask you a question. this whole thing about pledge and super delegates has come into play. we know he's right. if you take the super delegates out of it, hillary clinton would not reach that magic number. why is it that we include super delegates when essentially they haven't officially voted yet? >> well, there are two different readings of that. the most optimistic and fair-minded interpretation is these super delegates have, in fact, said who they're leaning towards, who they're going to choose. because they've done that we can

quite reasonably say, therefore, hillary clinton or therefore bernie sanders. we want to get a sense of where we are overall. if 500 super delegates say they want hillary clinton and they've indicated that, even though they can change their minds, it makes sense. the more critical or cynical analysis is it's our way of making people feel the race is over when it's not. when we say bernie sanders is down by 800 delegates, 600 delegates, whatever the number is, we're actually making voters think that the race is over and they stay home or they choose hillary clinton because they think it is a done deal. what we do is undermine the democratic process. that's what bernie would say. the race is much closer than people want to suggest. >> how probable is it, do you think, that any of the super delegates or enough of them could throw this whole nomination process up in the air and switch to bernie. >> it's plausible but only under

particular circumstances. it would take a huge gaffe, huge scandal, unfortunate illness. something that would force them to radically reassess the situation. >> what if something happens with the e-mail controversy? is that enough to make them change their minds? >> absolutely. it would take something extraordinary. the party delegates are not just oefrd people. though are hot shots. as a result, it's un -- they are very much wedded to the person they have chosen. >> let me ask you a question. is that a problem, the fact that they are officials who are elected, people who are considered to be inside the beltway and in the system? is it a problem -- enough of a problem, i should say, because essentially when you think about it, mark, you have the republicans or many republicans

put aside the protocol. you have the democrats doing the same thing. is it possible that there could be a modification to the protocol from which we work from for the next election? not this one obviously. >> obviously. obviously. yeah. i would say it's unlikely. the reason i say that is there are democrats who point to the republican nominating process right now and say if they had super delegates, donald trump wouldn't be the nominee. the race was just close enough. if 600 of those people were super delegates, political insiders, they wouldn't have selected donald trump. in many ways the republican process confirms the legitimacy of the super delegate process. i would argue that the super delegate process is troublesome. it began a few decades ago. the premise is that voters keep choosing nominees that can't win general elections. if the race is close, that 15% or so should be decided by

people inside the party who ostensibly know better. i don't agree with that. the fact that hillary clinton is being chosen over bernie sanders in their mind shows it likely works. >> but that is the argument, you're right. a lot of people are making it. i want to real quickly -- we have about a minute left. a new usc/la times poll shows clinton and sanders in a dead heat. shu is expected to take new jersey and, therefore, hit that number. if she takes new jersey, how much does california matter at that point? >> well, again, if we're talking super delegates who have already committed, it doesn't matter. hillary clinton crosses the threshold in new jersey, but it doesn't look good to lose california. if you lose california it looks like she's in a dog fight in her

own primary which is not a good look. it emboldens donald trump and it doesn't do much for party solidarity. bernie is going to take this to the convention because he believes in it and it will be trouble for zblrk marco, always appreciate your thoughts. pleasure of being here. a lot of politics today. we continue to keep our eye on the memorials that pour in over the passing of muhammad ali and the reactions, including from his son-in-law who fought in the ufc bout last night, coy wire has the details. coy? >> joe, less than 24 hours after the family lost a great muhammad ali, he walks into the arena where his father-in-law fought. he tries to represent the family well. we'll talk about it coming up. well, pretty bad at. but you learned. and got better. at experian, we believe it's the same with managing your credit.

game two of the nba finals tonight and the nba plans to honor muhammad ali with a moment of silence. >> coy wire is here talking about that. they can't. they can't not -- >> yeah, you have to, right? a special moment for sure. yesterday we had two of the greatest basketball players on the planet have some strong words about the greatest muhammad ali. here they are. >> for an athlete like myself today, without muhammad ali i wouldn't be sitting up here talking in front of you guys. i wouldn't be able to walk in restaurants, i wouldn't be able to go anywhere where blacks weren't allowed because of muhammad ali. >> ali was an example of how you

use your platform and speak what you believe no matter what people say. look at him as a sense of confidence in that regard for sure. >> two of the greatest. curries warriors have a 1-0 lead over lebron's cavs. they host back at golden state at 8:00 eastern. we'll see how that plays out. check out this story. less than a day after muhammad ali's death, his son-in-law steps inside the octagon at ufc. kevin casey married to ali's daughter, hannah. you have your wife's father pass away and you try to get your mind right to fight less than 24 hours later. to make it more emotional, this ufc event was in casey's hometown of englewood, california. he happens to be fighting there for the first time ever and this is in the forum where ali had

fought in 1973 beating ken norton to regain his hef any weight title championship. imagine that. his daughter hannah tweeted that i know my father's spirit is with you. she didn't make it to the fight, but afterwards kevin casey said it's nice, that he's going to be in the hospital for two days for dehydration. he showed that fighting spirit. >> that is strength. >> i would imagine ali would have told him to go to the fight. >> that's exactly what they said. this morning, hillary clinton, she almost had democratic nomination locked up, some would say. bernie sanders would say, not so fast. he is vowing to take his fight all the way to, as he calls it, a contested convention.

i've been treated very unfairly by this judge. horrible rulgts. this judge is of mexican heritage. i'm building a wall, okay? i'm building a wall. >> donald trump's not just wrong about judge curiel, he's wrong about america. he's wrong about what makes this country great. >> the democratic national convention will be a contested conventi convention. we went up to the ali center and we walked up there and i had to grab tissues because i immediately started crying. you can't help it. >> i think he would have been a successful athlete in any sport. he just was incredibly gifted as an athlete.

7:00 on a sunday morning and always good to see you. i'm christi paul. >> i'm joe johns in for victor blackwell. it's sunday, it's june, and we are still in the midst of a nomination fight on the democratic side. >> did you ever think we'd be this far into it? >> it's unbelievable. yeah. just two days away from the last super tuesday of the primary season. this morning hillary clinton is on the brink of seizing the democratic presidential nomination. >> former secretary of state notching a win overnight in the u.s. virgin islands caucuses. if we look at the latest delegate count, clinton is 63 delegates shy. magic number 2383. today puerto rico holds its democratic primary. 60 delegates are at stake there. >> state side clinton and sanders are there.

jeff zeleny has the latest. >> reporter: hillary clinton campaigning across the state of california with one rival in mind, and that is donald trump. yes, bernie sanders is vowing to fight to the convention and, yes, there is this democratic primary in california and other states tuesday, but hillary clinton is focusing front and center on donald trump. she's trying to repeat some of the claims that donald trump does not have the temperament to be president, not qualified to be president. she's taking aim at some of the comments he's made about the judge who is hearing the case of trump university. she mentioned that donald trump's divisiveness is dangerous. she brought up muhammad ali to make her point clear. >> donald trump's not just wrong about judge curiel, he's wrong about america. he's wrong about what makes this country great.

and on a day that we are mourning, it's good to remember that people can break down barriers, where they can worship their own god, where they can choose their own name and where they can lead and follow their own dreams as far as their hard work and talent will take them. >> reporter: even though hillary clinton is focusing on donald trump, as she campaigns in california, she'll be heading to new york on tuesday. ee that is where she plans to deliver a speech on tuesday night where she believes she will hit the number of 2383. that's the number of pledge and super delegates needed to unofficially clinch the nomination. bernie sanders vowing to take this to the convention. he would need to switch super delegat delegates. it's an uphill climb.

they want to bridge that gap and extend an olive branch. >> jeff zeleny, thank you so much. want to talk about bernie sanders and his campaign for a contested convention. author of the essential bernie sanders and the vision for america. gentlemen, thank you. jonathan, i wanted to start with you. we have democratic sources who are saying party leaders are trying to decipher how to get bernie sanders to bow out of this gracefully, so to speak, and not avoid alienating some of his you supporters. you know what, eric, let me send that question to you. do you think it's possible for the democratic party to do that when you see the loyalty of the supporters of bernie sanders? >> it can be challenging.

bernie sanders has opened some avenues. listen, he's weighed in on the type of vice presidential nominee hillary clinton should choose if she wins the democratic nomination. he's talked about the influence on the party platform. these are broad. bernie sanders is open to extending his influence and sort of demonstrating the way he has moved this race to the left on issues that are important to him and his supporters. so it's possible that those are a couple of avenues that to help get sanders and sanders supporters on board, but there are going to be a lot of hard feelings at the end of this contest, just like there were in 2008. the good news for democrats regardless of the nominee is that they have an opponent in donald trump who pretty much everybody can rally around the idea of defeating so what

happens common enemies is what brings them together more than anything else. >> there's one thing that bernie sanders has been saying about his supporters. he intimated that it's not his job to push them to support hillary clinton. let's listen. >> if secretary clinton is the nominee, it is her job to reach out to millions of people and make the case as to why she is going to defend working families. that is the candidate's job to do. >> jonathan, is he saying he would not encourage the supporters to shift the vote? >> good morning, first of all. let's say a couple of things. i think it's erroneous and almost journal lis stick malpractice to say anything about using the word clinch about tuesday. there will be no nominee. let me repeat that. there will be no nominee at the convention when the super delegates stand there and cast their vote. that's a fact. i think the media generally is

doing a disservice to the american people by talking about anybody clinching the nomination on tuesday. to your point, the fact is one thing i think that the media has missed and i think the country or at least certain clinton supporters have missed is this is very, very different, what's happened in this primarprimary. i've traveled to dozens of cities and towns. i just got back from california yesterday. the people supporting bernie sanders really believe in a political revolution and they see secretary clinton as a figure of the establishment. it's the reason they want bernie to go all the way to the convention, they want him to be the nominee. if hillary clinton becomes the nominee, what he's saying is she needs to appeal to all of the people. they want a very different economic policy. they want a very different foreign policy. they really do believe in the political revolution.

it's very different and they have come together in a coombaya. one of the things i argue, don't think of kocoombaya. what will unify people is we must beat donald trump. bernie sanders has been very clear on that. >> i want to touch on something jonathan said, we talked about it earlier this morning as well. if it's not for the super delegate numbers, he's right, we wouldn't be saying that hillary clinton is close to securing the nomination. why do we preemptively link super delegates this early in the game before they have officially voted? >> sure. so super delegates are equal. he's right. they're not bound to any candidate at this point. there's nothing to stop a super delegate from changing their mind. they're free to do that.

many of these super delegates have said who they plan to support. if you take them at their word and count it on top of the delegates, that's how you have her hitting the magic number. what you have to do if you're bernie sanders, you have to actually convince the super delegates not only to support him but to back away from the pledges they've made to support hillary clinton and in most instances change that. that's a bit of a challenge and for sanders to have a real shot at making this argument that he can actually win the nomination, he needs to start moving some of those people having them publicly announce. >> i'm sorry. jonathan, i've got 30 seconds left and i have to ask you this question. senator sanders has identified himself as an independent up to now. now he says he is a democrat. i am bombarded with people on twitter and listening to people saying bernie sanders is not a

democrat. is that one of his biggest obstacles in this contest? >> contested this primary for almost a year as a democrat. he's been a loyal member of the democratic caucus in the house and senate. eric is absolutely right. there are 50 days between tuesday and when that roll call vote happens. a lot can happen. it is a narrow path, we acknowledge that. the super delegates will look at the polls that show he does much better against donald trump and things like the sd e-mail and a narrow path. we can move the super delegates. i thank him for saying that it will not be decided until the convention floor. >> all right. eric and jonathan, thank you so much for taking the time to talk to us. >> you're welcome. and a programming reminder. stay with cnn for super tuesday coverage all day tuesday right here on cnn. a massive wild fire threatening an l.a. suburb.

new this morning iran is reacting to the death of muhammad ali call him a pioneer. >> a spokesman released this statement saying he was not only a famous champion in the area of boxing but also a hero. that statement comes after the boxer was a dominating voice in the fight to free washington post journalist jason rozian from an iranian prison. ali released a statement in march of last year calling him a man of peace and great faith and demanded the country free him. those closest to ali say that's exactly the kind of man he was, a humanitarian. he wasn't just a world champion. he spent his time outside of the ring defending human rights leaning oftentimes on his muslim

faith. >> "daily beast" contributor dean ogudala joining us. you wrote an op ed calling ali the first muslim human. you wrote about him being black and muslim in america. will you kind of explain that for us? >> sure. maya angelo said muhammad ali was everyone's hero. he belonged to everyone. i have to be honest, in the muslim community there's a special bond of muhammad ali. i spoke to a cross section of muslim americans. the comedians, performers who are muslim, the sense that he was truly a connection to us beyond a sports figure. he wasn't just the greatest boxer, he was our brother. you could feel that. he inspired people. he talked about his convictns standing up in 1967, the vietnam war knowing that he would lose

his heavy weight title, which he did, lose wealth, he didn't care. he was a mantha inspired people across the muslim american community. south asian muslims, white muslims, arab muslims. everyone i spoke to, such a connection. very palpable connection. >> well, ali was outspoken about, as of late, donald trump's proposed muslim ban. he wrote this letter in december saying the candidates should use their position to bring understanding to the religion and clarify that these misguided murders have prevailed people's views on what islam really is. how do you think flooi's words especially now might shape this election. >> i can tell you there were numerous times in the post 9/11 years, not now, that i wish

muhammad ali was as strong as he was years ago. what a great ambassador he would have been bringing together, building bridges between the muslim community and our fellow americans. our statement that he was entitled to the idea of presidential candidates, muslim integration, specifically about donald trump. first and foremost, these guys in isis don't represent islam. they're doing things inconsistent with our faith. they're insulting our faith but at the same time, our leaders, our politicians should be uniting people, not dividing them. muhammad ali was the muhammad ali we knew in the '60s and '70s. he brought so much together through his charisma, popularity. people like donald trump would have understood. >> thanks. it's good to have you here.

thanks very much. >> fascinating thought, the idea of muhammad ali being around be and able to talk not just about islam and america but also to donald trump. >> or just the election in general at stake. >> exactly. >> that's for sure. one other news note we are following very closely happening out on the west coast. firefighters scrambling to contain a wild fire in an upscale los angeles suburb that has devoured more than 500 acres. how much have they been able to campaign? also, female campaign staffers working for donald trump were reportedly paid less than 1500 des. new report raising questions about how trump pays women. why do people put milk on cereal?

a massive fire is raging in a los angeles suburb. a wall of fire is sweeping through the upscale calabasas home of celebrities. a fire started when a pickup truck hit a power pole. i spoke to photo journal list steve gentry at the scene of one of the fires. take a listen to what he says. >> the situation was very serious. it's very dry here in california and it doesn't take a whole lot for a fire to get going and spread really rapidly. at one point the fire was going

right up through to the backyards of a lot of the homes of the residents in that area. >> let's bring in cnn meteorologist, allison chinchar. what are you hearing about the fire and how it might progress throughout the day? >> we know weather wasn't a cause but it's playing a part in the development of how quickly it's spreading. right now we know 516 acres bushed. only about 15% contained. they've had at least 5,000 people that they've had to evacuate. yesterday we were warning about record high temperatures for a lot of this area for yesterday. today it's turned a little bit inland. vegas, phoenix. los angeles, not so much. it's actually pretty close to average but the topography can play a huge role because even 10, 20 miles outside of los angeles you can have the

temperatures in the 90s. the real factor is the wind. it comes in and goes out over open water. that is expected to change which will help to increase the humidity a little bit later today and that will be huge but, los angeles, take a look, this is their average rainfall for the year. notice the dry period is the summer and we're just now starting to get into that. we talked about el nino really starting to help out this area, but it really only helps northern california. guys, going into the drought season knowing that we've already had a significant drought, the wildfires will likely continue to increase as we go through the summer. >> allison, thank you. appreciate it. donald trump says he was an early advocate for women in the workplace but a new report from the "boston globe" shows what you could call a troubling pattern regarding how women get paid.

trump and hillary clinton not in the polls, but rather in pay, at least according to a "boston globe" analysis which found the trump campaign paid the male staffers about 35% more than the female counterparts. the same analysis found clinton gave her female staffers roughly equal. the trump campaign did not respond. >> we'll talk about this. donald trump supporter and white house political reporter jeffrey lord and host of the ben ferguson show, ben ferguson. ben, this anasis came from s.e.c. data from april. these numbers were always meant to be public. why would the trump campaign allow a disparity to happen like this knowing it was fully accessible to newspapers and the public? >> i think that this is, to be

honest with you, i've been critical of donald trump, he's hired his staff in a very different way than others like hillary clinton. first off, he didn't have anybody that he knew very well that was in the political realm. he hired people in different jobs coming from different things into his campaign. he had a much smaller staff than hillary clinton has. he hired them based on what he thought they were worth at that moment. i don't think he needs to say, do we have to pay this person more than we hired these people. the second thing is this, hillary clinton has a lot of women that are working for her. that's very normal for women that are running for office to have more women proportionately working for a women. even the school of government at harvard said that about other campaigns. the idea that donald trump

purposefully is paying women less than men i think is pretty absurd. i think people will look at his campaign and see who he has in positions of leadership. he has a woman in leadership. this idea that he is holding women down is absurd. >> the question that's being raised is whether if he hires people at this pay scale in a campaign, is he going to do the same thing when he has women in the white house if he ends up being elected. let's move on. >> joe. >> yes. >> joe, you know, sorry. ben who is certainly a donald trump critic is right about this. i would suggest as somebody who's been involved in presidential campaigns, senate campaigns, different jobs pay different amounts of money no matter who is in the job.

donald trump has a tremendous record of paying women well. one of the things that's not mentioned in the "boston globe" piece. washington free beacon in 2015 did an analysis of hillary clinton's pay for the senate staff between 2002 and 2008 and they found that she paid women on her staff 15,738 less than the median salary. which is to say she was paying 72 cents for women and $1 for men on her senate staff. we know what she will do in government and it's not good for women. >> programming this morning, i'd like to look at that again because i don't remember. let's listen to a little bit of sound from donald trump at a rally friday. >> 60,500 border patrol agents and that's the first time they've ever endorsed a

presidential candidate. i asked them. what a perfect group to ask as opposed to some consultant who doesn't know anything, right? they know less than the beautiful young woman standing there, they know less, okay? >> this is sort of a head scratcher and it goes with the mini dust up on friday with him picking out a guy in the crowd, look, my african-american, something to that effect. why would you bring up a woman's appearance while talking about something unrelated? and i think the other question is, isn't there somebody to sort of pull donald trump aside and say, you've got to be careful with these kind of off the cuff remarks? jeffrey? >> he's not politically correct, joe. i think we all know that at this point but, you know, in a more serious fashion, this is exactly the kind of thing that i think -- that i know drives a lot of americans crazy. they feel that political correctness has just gone

berzerk. a silly remark like that, an aside, or the one from the other day, my african-american. things like this get blown up. they have absolutely no meaning, no relevance to anything and yet they're made a big deal of. it's a real problem for people who are unbelievably politically correct. >> jeffrey, very quickly. only got about 30 seconds. elizabeth warren kept up attacks on trump. she hasn't responded yet. she is not running but the question is why does trump even go after her? >> i think it's because elizabeth goes after donald trump and not personally. i think it's a smart move. he's going after people that are attacking him and coming after him. elizabeth warren certainly seems like she's running for vice president or something in this

cabinet. for him i think he says bring it on. he's not politically correct. every time elizabeth warren or hillary clinton tries to come after him, there's something that makes it politically correct. it actually helps donald trump. he says, i'm not playing your game. i'm not going to change who i am. i'm not going to sit here and test everything i say before i say it. if you want to come after me, elizabeth warren, bring it on. it helps him with his supporters because they like the fact that donald trump is fighting and he's not playing the political game which is what he's been saying since day one. >> ben ferguson, jeffrey lord, thank you very much. good seeing you. >> thanks, joe. >> you, too. programming reminder, donald trump, hillary clinton, and bernie sanders will be guests with jake tapper on "state of the union." remembering the world champ's legacy as the family

prepares to say their good-byes. cnn's brian young is there live. >> reporter: christi, there were big fights inside the ring and outside the ring. so many people come here to pay their respects. ali said live every day like it's your last because some day you're going to be right. we'll have more coming up in a live report. and we've got nba stars reacting to the passing of the legendary boxer. coy wire ahead with details. coy? >> joe, will he bronze james and steph curry. coming up. and i quit smoking with chantix. i have smoked for 30 years and by taking chantix, i was able to quit in 3 months

and that was amazing. along with support, chantix (varenicline) is proven to help people quit smoking. it absolutely reduced my urge to smoke. some people had changes in behavior, thinking or mood, hostility, agitation, depressed mood and suicidal thoughts or actions while taking or after stopping chantix. some had seizures while taking chantix. if you have any of these, stop chantix and call your doctor right away. tell your doctor about any history of mental health problems, which could get worse or of seizures. don't take chantix if you've had a serious allergic or skin reaction to it. if you have these, stop chantix and call your doctor right away as some can be life-threatening. tell your doctor if you have heart or blood vessel problems, or develop new or worse symptoms. get medical help right away if you have symptoms of a heart attack or stroke. decrease alcohol use while taking chantix. use caution when driving or operating machinery. most common side-affect is nausea. i can't believe i did it. i quit smoking. ask your doctor if chantix is right for you.

when i was president we had the olympics in atlanta. those of you of a certain age may remember watching muhammad ali dealing with his parkinson's disease. the last bearer of the olympic torch up the ladder to light it. once the most graceful, powerful athlete in the world with his hands shaking, holding on. and to the very end he was actually astonishingly good humored about the burden on his later years. so by the time he died who he was as a person should be all of our goal in life. you want to be better than your

personally? >> reporter: well, you know, you get these interactions, they saw him one time, he waived, that was enough for them. the mayor said the profound impact he had on people around him, how he entered the room and everyone would smile. even in diminished state, he still commanded the presence. if you think about it, look at all the tweets, all the things that are said about this man. i don't know if i recall so much positive energy going towards one person. you look behind us and see what people are bringing out here. some of the personal messages. somebody brought some boxing gloves out here to mark the spot. now we're starting to see people come out here more and more often telling the stories of how muhammad ali impacted their lives. the funeral service will start on friday. to show you how connected he is to the city, there will be a part of the funeral service that will take ali through several

points, impactful moments throughout his life, throughout the city. as the mayor was talking he said you can't think of ali without thinking about louisville. we talked about ali and how he touched people's lives forever. >> the city has lost a native son, a local hero. the good thing about the city is that it always gravitated to muhammad when he came to town. we have the muhammad ali center when he came to louisville, kentucky. he chose this as his hometown. while the city mourns, they will always be able to come to muhammad ali center and commiserate with muhammad until the end of time. >> you see people are coming

out. it's been raining the past few days. they've opened up the childhood home of muhammad ali here. that happened in the last month or so. people are able to go out there and start looking at some of the things that his home has to offer. there are people who are still in the neighborhood who remember when muhammad ali lived here. here's his connection, hometown connection that's unique. especially when you hear people use the words he likes to use. when you go to cnn.com and you look at some of the quotes he made throughout history. i can never remember an athlete who has so many quotable moments. he was able to make people smile and get out there with that larger than life personality. >> grown man and smart man and somebody who had some priorities that were very founded, good foundation. ryan young, we appreciate it. thank you very much. the warriors and the cavaliers are up once again tonight. the nba plans to honor muhammad

ali with a moment of silence before the finals. game two tonight. >> this is going to be a good one. here you have the two greatest, i'll just say it, the two greatest basketball players on the planet, lebron james and steph curry. yesterday they had some words about the greatest, muhammad ali. let's hear what they have to say. >> for an athlete like myself today, muhammad ali, without him i wouldn't be up here talking to you guys. i wouldn't be able to walk into restaurants. i wouldn't be able to go anywhere are blacks are because of a guy like muhammad ali. >> ali was the example of how to use your platform and speak what you believe no matter what people are saying. look at him as a sense of confidence in that regard for sure. >> curry's warriors have a 1-0 series lead over the cavs. joe johns thinks they're too

tough. >> i'm from ohio, too. >> your team. >> i feel bad. >> i was going to say, we may not always be the best but we have a loyalist? >> that's right. check this story out. less than 24 hours after muhammad ali passed away his son-in-law goes out and fights a ufc 199. this was last night. kevin casey, is married to ali's daughter hannah. can you imagine his mental space? your father-in-law passes away, he goes out there and to make it even more emotional, this is in englewood, california, casey's hometown. he never fought this before. muhammad ali fought there in 1973 to regain his heavy weight title bout. he won can you imagine that? his daughter hannah tweeted out, i can't be there but i know my father is with you. kudos to kevin casey going out there and showing the fighting spirit. >> part of him wanted to be with

his wife. coy, thank you. what a struggle it is for brazil to try to get everything ready in time for the olympics. cnn's shasta darlington is in rio. >> wow, with more on how fears over the zika virus and crime could make matters worse. to win at the olympic games, allyson felix needs to... ...be quicker than everybody. to win at home, she needs to be quicker than... allyson: chloe! that's why allyson felix uses bounty.

believe that there are just two months left before the olympics begin and rio does not look like it's quite ready to welcome the athletes so far from fears over zika virus to gun violence on the streets of brazil. cnn's international correspondent shasta darlington live from rio de janeiro, out on a boat in guanabara bay where the water is extremely polluted. shasta, does the city look like it's ready for the olympics? >> reporter: you know, joe, from out here, it really raises a lot of questions. this bay is absolutely sewage filled, about half of the homes in rio aren't connected to a sewage pipe. guess where it ends up, here where the sailors and windsurfers will be competing. to give you an idea we fished some of the garr babage out of way, got a bottle, a shoe. the worst part is the smell and this puts them at risk for disease, if they scratch

themselves, if they fall in imagine and this is just one of many issues. the majority of the venues themselves have been built but there's the zika virus which could scare away not only visitors but athletes. some are thinking whether or not to come, there is rising violence and crime and the recession, which even meant brazilians themselves aren't buying as many tickets. >> realistically what can they do about all the stuff in the water and what are they doing to make sure the athletes' health and safety are taken care of when they get there? >> reporter: joe, when it comes to the water they've given up. they said we failed on this one. we promised to clean up the bay. it isn't going to happen. what we can do is send out garbage boats that keep the debris away and they're trying to tackle the health issues on the zika front. they know that's what scares international visitors the most so they're trying to point out that is the south american winter so fewer mosquitos.

if necessary they will be fumigating the sites. and you don't have to worry about coming to the olympics unless you're a pregnant woman and then you should consider staying away because the zika virus has been linked so serious birth defects. joe? >> really complicated situation there, and we'll be watching. shasta darlington, thanks so much for that. these words, scum, liars, sleaze, donald trump has a ton of names for the media. we've got a lot at some of his greating hits, coming up. what are you doing? getting faster. huh? detecting threats faster, responding faster, recovering faster. when your security's built in not just bolted on, and you protect the data and not just the perimeter, you get faster. wow, speed kills.

so donald trump tends of so a love/hate relationship with the media. >> i know, and i'm going to say this, maybe he needs to go to trump university for some lessons in dealing with the media. >> um-hum. this is probably why he hates us. >> exactly. >> jeanne moos has a look at the trump guide to handling reporters. >> reporter: donald trump is famous for knowing -- >> excuse me, sit down, you weren't called. >> reporter: -- how to handle the media. >> the press should be ashamed of themselves. the world's most dishonest people are pack there, look at the cameras going. sit down, sit down, sit down. >> reporter: maybe he should sit down and read his own trump university media guidelines. the playbook released by the court included tips for dealing with the media such as "expect to be scrutinized." >> i like scrutiny but you know

what? when i raise money -- excuse me, excuse me, i've watched you on television, you're a real beauty. >> reporter: nowhere on the list does it say humiliate the press. >> even the horrible press, which is back, oh look at all those people. >> reporter: nowhere does it say treat the press with condescension. >> are you ready? >> reporter: reporters are rarely on your side and they are not sympathetic and just as trump excuses some mexicans -- >> they're bringing crime,er this they're rapist and some, i assume, are good people. >> reporter: he also gives some reporters a pass. >> disgusting reporters, horrible people, sure. some are nice. >> reporter: now from a reporter's point of view, the playbook's last media tip is our favorite. remember, courtesy gets you a long way, the donald definitely didn't read that one. >> like this sleazy guy right over there from abc. he's a sleaze.

>> reporter: trump's harshest press? >> they're scum, absolutely, remember that, scum. >> reporter: okay we'll try to remember. >> scum, scum, scum. >> reporter: maybe the donald needs to write up new press guidelines on how to take your compliments might be a good one but jimmy fallon pronounced the golden rule of media management. >> the only one qualified to interview me is me. >> reporter: jeanne moos, cnn, new york. >> wow. >> i would so like to go through trump's mind through that, he is a good sport on "snl." >> people say it's an act. >> we hope you make great memories today. >> "inside politics" with john king starts right now. >> and thanks to him, too, for taking the wake-up call. >> thank you.

hillary clinton forcefully frames the commander in chief test. >> donald trump's ideas aren't just different, they are dangerously incoherent. >> reporter: but bernie sanders says not so fast, and vows to fight on, even after this week's time super tuesday. >> the nominating process is over, secretary clinton has won, that is factually incorrect. >> reporter: will the democratic divide help trump? >> if we get cynical and just vote our fears or if we don't vote at all, we won't build on the progress that we started. >> reporter: plus the trump slash and burn tour targets the media. >> the press should be ashamed of themselves. >> reporter: and the clintons. >> these are crooked people. we don't need another four years of clinton,
