>> that is so cool. she has been a tigers fan since she moved to detroit 60 years ago, after she was imprisoned in several european concentration camps. assembling another strong crew at the table to talk for the week. ladies, good morning. good to see you. >> good morning. >> soledad o'brien, anywhere else fine television is served. she had a run of the anchor in this show. >> many years ago. >> in this very studio when she co-hosted "weekend today" executive producer of the film "the war come homes" about military veterans who return home from war. we'll talk about that in a moment. elise served under george w. bush, adviser to secretary of state condi rice. she was on our first-ever show. she has a lifetime invitation
8:08 am
here. we're like the masters here. you win once, you get to come back forever. >> great. >> and kristen welker finds herself on the road covering hillary clinton and the presidential campaign. this is a moment for you, kristen, sitting here with soledad. >> i was her writer, researcher, helped to work on the breaking news segments and soledad was one of my first mentors. >> she aye understood she helped you put together tape for your first job. if only we had tape. >> my hair has had some work since then. >> shoulder pads. shoulder pads. >> one of my first reels from when i worked at krcr in reddington, california. soledad help immediate put together that first tape and gave me incredible advice. one of the best pieces advices she told me is always listen as a journalist. >> the woman who was the
8:09 am
executive producer of the show, many kajillion years ago. hey, have you seen kristen? hey, have you seen kristen? we're wildly proud of you. all done on your own. it was a pleasure to mentor you but you're amazing. >> honor to be here. >> great job covering this campaign. let's talk about it. elise, new numbers we've seen from a couple of different polls and later from an nbc poll -- nationally -- it's not a referendum. it's not the way we vote. but the race is very tight n some cases he's leading. he's winning independents now. do these new tight numbers tell you more about donald trump or hillary clinton? >> i think it says more about the state of the race until now and having had so many candidates in the republican field. i think donald trump's numbers were expected to rise. from this point forward, though, it will be interesting to see how they win support and if donald trump is able to do with women, minorities, groups that
8:10 am
are really going to make the difference in important swing states. >> what's remarkable, s. ledad is how unpopular these candidates are. trump has pulled up a little bit and almost even in unfavorable ratings with hillary clinton. they're both upside down. >> it's been a really miserable -- you've been reporting on it. >> yes. >> it's been a miserable race, nasty, negative. all three candidates -- we'll keep bernie sanders in this conversation -- are flawed and the populous knows that. and the conversation around it is very unhappy. donald trump's rise is the media's nonstop coverage of donald trump and everything is frame thud the lens of donald trump. whatever happens to hillary clinton, it's how donald trump feels about this thing that happened to hillary clinton. that's correlated as well to some of those numbers. >> he has convince aid lot of people to follow him along this road. bernie versus hillary. you covered this so well, kristen. is he not backing off. >> he is not.
8:11 am
>> if anything, he has escalated. his attacks are about the dnc, the party and those kind of things but is still going after her on the strump f ump. if he gets the nomination, what does he want from her? >> the dnc saying they'll make him part of that process and the clinton campaign as well. he is not backing down. how do democrats unify after what has been a blistering fight between the democrats? i think the answer is they have to fight until the very end and secretary clinton needs to put up a real fight until the very end in states like new jersey, california. i'm told that's exactly what she's going to do. if you talk to democratic strategists they say at the end of the process sanders' supporters need to feel she won, if she does win, fair and square, and that's the first step in sanders saying okay, now it's time to rally around hillary clinton. by the way, president obama could be very pivotal to that as
8:12 am
well. >> hillary clinton is fighting a tw two-front war against trump but also bernie sanders. >> he is benefiting from that, the fact that bernie is still staying at it. but i do think donald trump will give hillary clinton a very close race and trump could beat hillary. the wrapping of hillary clinton is that he's a liar. the wrapping against donald trump is he's a sexist pig. he was change that if he wanted to. is he going to be able to do that? i don't know. >> he is winning independents right now, has the republican party lined up behind him after they fought him for so long. soledad "the war comes home" follows two iraq war veterans seeking help for post traumatic distress. take a look. >> it's like being in a burny building. the only way to get out is jump out the window. you don't want to die, but you don't want to burn either.
8:13 am
>> he's talking about he's going to kill himself. he means he is done. his wife, later in the film, tells us, as she is crying, he's made it clear he is about to head off to this 5 1/2-day program and if ift doesn't work, he's going to kill himself. the stakes are very high. we were very much embedded with two people who were struggling with post traumatic stress before they went off to the program, through the entire program and coming back with them and closely seeing what works, what does not work? they feel like this is their last opportunity to turn their lives around from this path that is likely heading to something disastrous for them. >> 22 veteran suicides per day. it's still hard to say that out loud and believe it's true. >> i think that number is significantly off. that's not counting people who die death by cop, who become
8:14 am
addicts and basically do drugs or drink themselves to death. that number, i don't think, is that accurate. >> what are the solutions that seem to be working in small places if they're not working at the va? >> in this particular program, save a warrior, some things are done across the board in other places and the va as well. you saw video of a ropes course, of where they bring people to the feeling of they're going to die. they're up on these wires and have to rely on each other. they also kind of create a brotherhood in this case. it's all men. there's a woman's program as well. but they learn they have to be responsible for other people. a big challenge is we send people off to war with a very specific strategy. it's about breaking people down and building this brotherhood. when you come back, there's not that, right? it's just like, and you're back. and you kind of need a system, i think, that helps reunite people back to what might be a civilian life. >> good for you for shining a light on it, this tuesday.
8:15 am
>> one day only, may 24th. >> we'll be watching for sure. stay with me for the highs and lows of the week, including death as political statement. hall of fame obituary speaking for many americans this election year. >> and iran's revolutionary guard has a warning for kim kardashian. >> good sunday morning, i'm karen thomas looking at our temperatures and morning forecast in the lower 50s. this is what we mean by isolated showers today on and off through our sunday. dry right now, but in delaware we have showers moving right through the central portion and southern delaware. so radar showing us the scattered isolated showers will continue. we can anticipate, on and off. make sure you have the umbrellas today. neutrogena® ultra sheer.ra shee.
