3:30 am
>> announcer: this is the "cbs overnight news." welcome to the "cbs overnight news," i'm jeff glor. five states hold primaries tomorrow including winner take all contests in ohio and florida. among republicans in florida the latest cbs news battleground tracker poll has marco rubio running third in his home tate at 21%. donald trump on top, 44%. ted cruz, 24%. john kasich, 9%. is kasich's home state he is tied with trump at 33%. ted cruz, 27%. marco rubio, 5%. trump on top, 38%. ted cruz, 34%. kasich, 16%. rubio, 11%. trump held three rallies sunday.
3:31 am
they were tame compared to what happened on previous days. john dickerson spoke with the gop front-runner for "face the nation." >> mr. trump you said that you don't incite any of this activity. but at several of your rallies, you have said that -- protesters, you said about one i would like to punch him in the face. another you suggested it would be better if he was taken out on a stretcher, you suggested if one thought about throwing a tomato that, that your supporters should knock the crap out of them. so, how is that not encouraging the kind of behavior we are now seeing? >> well let me tell you. first with all the rallies i have had. i get more people than any body, by as you know, by a lot. thousands and thousands of people, 25,000 people is almost getting standard. you haven't seen one person even injured at one of our rallies. and, the cases you are talking about. the one guy was a bad dude. he was swing. hitting people. he was a very bad guy. and the police came in and they really were very effective. frankly some of the audience members had no choice but to be effective. i didn't mind that at all. >> they would have been hurt, frankly. the other one with the tomatoes
3:32 am
told by secret service that there are two people in the audience we have heard that have tomatoes they're going to grow them at you. they have good arms that could do some damage. i said to the people before my speech started if you see anybody with tomatoes you got to take them folks, take them out. i think everybody understand that. >> you say no one was hurtd. there was a gentleman walking out. the video shows him being escorted out. then a supporter cold cocked him. he was a, hurt. there was somebody hurt. he wasn't doing damage walking out. he was cold cocked. you suggest you'd will pay for the legal fees will you pay for the legal fees for the gentleman. >> i am going to review it. i don't condone violence. i don't condone what happened to him what he did. because he got carried away. it's very unfortunate. but this kid was walking out. i understand he had a certain finger up in the air as he was walking out.
3:33 am
this man became very angry. again, i don't condone violence. the kid shouldn't have had the finger up in the air either. if that's what he did. i am going to take a look at the tape. i will let you know. >> so is that the threshold, is just the wrong gesture and it's okay to clock him? >> i think that is a terrible gesture if you want to know the truth. we can say the doesn't matter. i think it is a terrible gesture. it is interesting, these people are disruptors, they're not protesters, they're disruptors, professional disruptors in some cases. all they do. stand up and disrupt the if somebody did that at a bernie rally. many of these people come from bernie. i have tremendous young people also. . we have a whole level of young people. i can't believe it how young my
3:34 am
audience is. but if they ever went to bernie's rallies and did the same thing, i want to tell you you would be so angry with me. nobody talks about it. you would be so against me. it is a whole different standard when it comes to a republican conservative versus a liberal. if people went to their rallies and disrupted their rallies, like my rallies are disrupted, the press would stick up for them and make all sorts of excuse as but how terrible it is. so, you know we mav two standards in this country. it any very unfortunate. the press is extremely dishonest. >> when you talk about the protesters, you said these are bad, bad people. we are going to take our country back from these people. these people do nothing. who are the these people in that case? well, i see people in the audience that, i don't think they have a great future. i think they're disruptors, i think they are not in love with our country. i think they, they, protest and they disrupt. that's what they do. i don't know if they do it for a living. i don't know if they get paid for doing it. but they are not good people. and they're certainly not good for our country. and the people that come to my
3:35 am
rallies, these are extraordinary people. these are great people. these are people that are really disenfranchised in many cases. now with that being said. we are very successful -- we have very successful people, we have the smartest, we have the best educated. people that aren't educated as well. if you look at the polls out of all the states i have won, which is most of them. if you look at the polls coming out i lead with hispanics, i lead with women, i lead with very well educated, i lead in all different categories. very proudly, i lead with evangelicals, with veterans. i lead in every category. i have everybody there. we really do have a young crowd. remember this, if they went to a hillary rally, although nobody cares too much about the hillary rallies because there is no fervor there. if they went to a bernie rally everybody would say what a terrible thing. they disrupt me from talking. and i do the best i can with it. and by the way, you have heard me say it.
3:36 am
don't hurt them. i'm constantly saying to the police. don't hurt them. don't hurt them. i don't condone violence. but some of the people are violent. >> let me ask you a policy question, at the debate you talked hb 1 visas, you said something i frankly use, i shouldn't be allowed to use it. when you talked about bankruptcy laws, how you took advantage of them. you and i talk about your taxes, you pay as little as possible. if you are president why would anybody follow the laws you put in place if they know you were taking advantage of the laws in the private sector? >> because i know the game better than anybody. i built one of the greatest companies. did a filing, one of the great companies, great assets. very little debt, tremendous cash flow. some of the greatest assets in the world. let me tell you, i use the bankruptcy laws just look other very successful people. i don't want to use their names. i could name ten people. the biggest peoplen all of business. it's the game we play. we use the laws of the land. we use it. and that's the way we play the game. as far as the visas are concerned. i'm not doing anything wrong. i think the, those visas shouldn't be allowed. but they are allowed. they're part of the fabric of, of what you do. so, i will use it. i'm a businessman.
3:37 am
now, that i have turned politician, i hate to say that, almost about myself. but now that i am running for office. i know the game better than anybody. i'm the one that can fedex all -- can fix all of this stuff. i never went bankrupt. you understand i never went bankrupt. take a look at business leaders. i have 500 companies. i have so many different companies. and a very few i will take advantage of frankly by using the laws of the land. as every other major business person does. >> that's what i want to ask about the playing of the game. when you were with ben carson who endorsed you this week, you said he was pathologic and then that both of you've said that was just politics. so you are saying it is just the game. but if the most serious things you say about a person are just politics it any just the game. then why isn't everything you are saying just a game and just politics and open to revision? >> well that is politics. i mean say, bad things about people. and they say bad thing as but
3:38 am
3:39 am
3:40 am
hillary clinton will try to stretch her lead over bernie sanders as five states vote tomorrow. our cbs news battleground tracker shows clinton up 30 points over sanders in florida. in ohio, clinton at 52%. sanders, 33%. in illinois, sanders is up 2 points. 48-46. sanders discussed the race with john dickerson. >> good morning, senator. donald trump says he might start sending protesters to your rallies. >> well, you know -- donald trump has been an incredibly die -- divisive figure. day after day his rhetoric is in citing violence. some of his supporters responding to the rhetoric by kicking people. by sucker punching them. you know, we have seen recently
3:41 am
charges leveled against his own campaign manager. for assaulting a female reporter. so there is a lot of this -- feelings about violence coming from -- trump's campaign. i very much hope that he understands that in the democracy, people should be allowed to go to anybody's rally, peacefully demonstrate without fear of being beaten up. i hope he tones it down. this is not good for the country. >> do you encourage some of your protesters, protesters, supporters i should say, are going to these rallies would you encourage them to keep doing that? >> no, not to disrupt rallies. trump, look, i don't, i won't shock you john by telling you that donald trump lies a whole lot. he calls me a communist. that's a lie. to suggest that our campaign is telling people to disrupt his campaign is a lie. we don't. we have millions of supporters and some of them will do what they do. but our campaign has never, not once, organized any effort to
3:42 am
disrupt mr. trump's rallies or anybody else's rallies. not what we do. >> in the contest this week with hillary clinton she has said that she was way out in front on health care back in 1993. she wonders where you were on that issue back then? what's your response? >> well i think there is a video or photograph or something of me by here side. look, i have always said that hillary clinton did a very, very good job as, first lady. she kind of broke the mold as to what a first lady should be doing. but to criticize me on health care is not quite fair because i have been a leader in congress from day one. in the fight for -- universal health care. to make certain that in the united states we join the rest of the industrialized world, guarantee health care to all people, terms of the affordable care act. i work with congressmen jim cly burn on initiative to put $12 billion in community health centers so millions of people now have health care who previously would not have health
3:43 am
care. i have led the effort to take on the greed and the unconscionable pricing of the drug companies who are ripping us off. charging us the highest prices. i don't have to defend myself off to anybody about the role i have played in health care. i do believe that we should move to a medicare for all health care system which finally says that health care is a right in our, to all people in our country, something which differentiates me from secretary clinton. >> have to talk politics here. on these election day, you had a big surprise win in michigan. real, momentum booster. at the end of the day, hillary clinton got more delegates on almost every election day we had. if that keeps happening she will get the nomination? >> well, john, to everybody's surprise. when we began this campaign, we were 3% in the polls.
3:44 am
we were 70 points behind hillary clinton. since then, we have won nine states. eight of them by large margins. one in michigan was very tight. last week all of the pollsters predicted that we would lose michigan, by, by 15, 20, 25 points. well, we ended up winning. i think -- we have a lot of momentum in illinois. in ohio, in missouri. i think we are going to do better than people think in north carolina. and in florida. so we are looking forward to a very good tuesday. we are look forward to wing the democratic nomination. >> ohio is make or break for john kasich's presidential campaign. the latest poll shows kasich tied with donald trump there. kasich discusses his chances with john dickerson. -- i want to start with something you said about donald trump. you said there its no place for a national leader to prey on the fears of people who live in our country. how exactly is he preying on fears? >> look, he has done a lot of name calling.
3:45 am
and created a very toxic atmosphere where he is, look, you want to start with immigration? do you want to start with the things he has said, you know, about muslims? where does it end? it's putting one group against another. and it's created a toxic atmosphere. i am not going to till you in his rally, some of the people don't show up who want to create problems. that happens in all volatile situations. but you know, john. look, america's greatest strength is its people. and our greatest -- strength in people is when we are unified. and there is no doubt that, that he has run this divisive campaign and it is concerning to me. at the end of the day. he is not going to be the nominee. we are going to learn from this. and i am going to win ohio tuesday. we'll be competing all across the country. and a new day. wait and see. >> one of the things he says and others say too. voters are angry.
3:46 am
he is not preying on fears. this is natural anger that is out there. talk about that line a little bit. . difference between the voters who are angry and then the politicians who poke at that anger. >> look, i think first there are people upset. they're worried about their jobs. they're worried about their wages which haven't gone up. they put their money in the bank. they get no interest. their kids are still living in their home after they get a college degree. these are real concerns. he was tapping into something out there t the reason i understand it. i grew up in that environment as a kid. the way you get the voters to tell them how you fix things. that's why i always talk about the strength of my record. in washington, helping the economy to take off or whether in ohio with creation of over 400,000 new jobs here. i also think you can walk into a room, john, of 100 people. you could put them in a really bad mood or you can walk into that same room and you can get them to be hopeful. i notice this everywhere i go. because when i show up, i talk abut the way we can fix things.
3:47 am
how people need to work together. and don't wait for somebody else to show up. begin to change the world in which you live. the hopefulness of it works. since i have been so positive. must be contagious was sweet, right. >> everybody behaved themselves. >> at the last debate. talking about trade. seems in the republican party. trade is now a bad word. you voted for nafta. donald trump is trying to use that against you. what happened to the, who its the promoter of free trade now in the republican party. >> sort of interesting, john. i have been a fair trader and free trader at the same time. in 2001. i've helped the steel companies to get a 201 trade restraint. so they could consolidate and be stronger. i have been saying for a long time. we need to have an expedited process. when people cheat we shut their products down. doesn't take from the fact we
3:48 am
have to be involved in the global marker. one of every five workers are connected to it. 38 million americans have jobs connected to trade. we do want to have free trade. and fair trade. and expedited process to say that when when you are cheating we will take action against you and include. manipulation of currency. >> politics you said you will win ohio. marco rubio said his voters should vote for him in ohio. are you saying your voters should vote for him in florida. >> really hard to tell your voters to go vote for somebody else. look, not campaigning in florida. my focus has been in this state. in illinois. look at the end this is not like stop somebody. this is my telling people the way the country ought to be run. and the experience that i have had. why i have had success. so i can give them the hope that we actually can pull the country together, remember we are americans before republicans and democrats. and solve our most vexing problems.
3:49 am
frankly using conservative principles. >> mention americans before republicans. an argument people are using against donald trump. saying, some of your rivals seem to be wobbly in terms of whether they will stick with the pledge and support him. where are you on that? >> well i would look to support the nominee. he is not going to be the nominee. just not going to happen. i said at the last debate. he makes it difficult. we'll see how this go. he has, got to be able to lift people. stop dividing people. and the toxic environment must end. this is not making us proud. think of the videos shown all over the world of people slugging it out at a campaign rally. i mean there are people around the world shaking their heads. who are saying, what the heck happened to america? we'll be fine. the people are smart. they're going to make the right decision. in my opinion. >> the "cbs overnight news" will be right back. ♪
