on the democrat psychside, e sanders two points ahead of hillary clinton in wisconsin. anthony, good to see you. front-runners, both have fallen behind in wisconsin. let's talk about the democrats, first. overall for hillary clinton how much of a concern is that? >> well in wisconsin you have a very liberal democratic electorate. that tees it up well for someone like bernie sanders. a close race there, but overall, the delegate math is still on hillary clinton's side. because she has got the lead in the elected delegates and got a lead in what we call super delegates. those are party leaders in the democratic side who can support whomever they want. they're still behind her as well. so the climb for bernie sanders, even if he wins wisconsin is
3:11 am
still pretty steep. >> back to the republicans. donald trump had a rough week. yet still up in two of three states you looked at. new york and pennsylvania. down in wisconsin. why? >> well, the rough week you mention. the controversy around some of his comments. that's pretty much baked into the cake for donald trump supporters at this point. they tell us in the polls that they think some times some of his comments go a lit tool far. but they're supporting him anyway. so the lead you see for ted cruz in wisconsin i think is more reflective of a conservative republican electorate there and the kind of voter looking for a conservative candidate. >> for ted cruz, what does wisconsin representative then? >> probably the last chance for a while to put a dent into donald trump's lead. it is that kind of conservative state. but going forward the states you mention, new york, pennsylvania, the map now goes into territory that probably favors donald trump. >> anthony, thank you very much. >> thank you, jeff. >> new study out confirms what millions of people taking statins have been complaining about for years. it may offer a solution.

3:13 am
the second part of the study involved testing nonstatin cholesterol lowering drugs. one was an oral drug. the other injectable. both worked, however the injectable had better results. >> patients have got one of the new injectable cholesterol lowering drugs had a -- had a 52-54% reduction in the levels of their bad cholesterol. >> what are the costs per year when talking about the injectable nonstatin drugs? >> it is $14,000 a year. they're quite expensive. >> the cost for statins is a few hundred dollars per year. the doctor estimates 36 million people in the country rely on statins. so far two injectable nonstatins approved by the fda. jeff. >> jericka duncan, thank you. the airport in brussels reopened since the airport was hit buy a deadly bombing 12 days ago took off for portugal.

3:41 am
industry. we are not, yeah, yeah. >> factcheck.org. clinton 2016 campaign has not accepted any direct contributions from any corporation, oil and gas companies included. >> no, that's not true. i just read you is what is the fact. $4.5 million including money from 50 lobbyists from the fossil fuel industry. >> there is one source says she has taken those from corporations. and another source says she hasn't. >> there is a difference if you are a lobbyist for the fossil fuel industry. there are 50 and you make a contribution. that to me is a contribution from the fossil fuel industry. that's different than saying you get it from exxon mobile. but to deny she received substantial. >> from individuals what you are saying? >> lobbyists of the industry. if people receive money from lobbyists of the industry i think you are receiving money from the industry. these are not just a little worker there. these are lobbyist whose
3:42 am
represent the oil and gas industry. >> when you look at this -- do you feel that -- that she is now -- beginning to feel the pressure of your campaign? >> well, charlie we have won six of the seven caucuses in every instance. we have won by landslide victories. we are fighting hard in wisconsin. i think we have got a shot to win here in new york state. when virtually every poll shows the us we are beating trump i think, last cnn poll had us up 20 points ahead of trump. far more than she was leading trump. i think more and more democrats are looking at bernie sanders. as the the -- the candidate who can best defeat trump or some other republican candidates. >> you have to get past hillary clinton. when you look at numbers math matical -- mathematically. the caucus win. we have primary states coming up she does very, very well. what is it you know, senator sanders that we don't know and
3:43 am
your path to victory. >> we have a lot of momentum. we had over 18,000 people out. working hard in wisconsin. if there is a large voter turnout there, i think we got a shot to win that. and i think what should be understood, that a lot of the early states, that were contested were in the deep south, that is as you know the most conservative part of america. we did not do well. we are moving elsewhere. to the west. to new york. we think we have a real shot to win. >> the polls show you ahead in wisconsin. but you seem to be nervous about that. you seem to be pulling back from expectation. >> is that your nervous face. look at the smile. >> look. i don't like to speculate. what will be will be. all i can tell you is we are working very, very hard. and i think we -- >> you told me you would win in new york. you told me this morning you can win in new york. you have not said. >> this is what i think -- when voter turnout is high. when working people, middle-class people come out and are prepared to stand up and
3:44 am
take on the 1% support our agenda. then we win. if the voter turnout is low. in wisconsin, new york state, you know what. we are likely will not win. i think what we are seeing now is people all over this country. sick and tired of the status o quo. they're working longer hours for low wages. almost all of the low income and wealth is going to the top 1%. they're upset about a corrupt campaign finance. >> you think they're voting for you or voting against hillary clinton. >> they're voting for our agenda. i'll tell you something that is interesting, not widely reported. republican, democrat, progressionive, conservative. people are disgusted with campaign finance system and super pacs and billionaires trying to buy elections. >> senator we have seen with the republican party this week, idea of party loyalty. we will get behind who ever is the nominee is gone. in your case, i know, clinton's campaign so far is saying you will be done by end of the month. we will move forward. you don't feel that way. come the end. no matter. >> she said, we'll be done by
3:45 am
end of the month. april 26th. a changing point. in the end no matter nominee or not, if it is hillary clinton, will you get behind the clinton campaign and have your supporters behind her as well because the republican party is so divided right now? >> i obviously can't speak for millions of supporters individual people. >> you can encourage them. >> what i can tell you is i think would be an absolute disaster for this country if we had a donald trump as president of the united states. and i well do everything i can to prevent that. >> does that mean supporting hillary clinton. >> i am sure when hillary clinton announces she'll be supporting me and go forward together. >> your campaign is fascinating to a lot of people. seen democratic household divided. house wants you. wife wants her. kids want you. parents want. one 20-something said what i look about him. he is look my grandpa. he gets me. he cares. he is smart. is it a compliment to be compared to grandpa who gets
