caller: i was trying to work with bernie sanders but he is a day late and a dollar short as far as i'm concerned. i keep getting a million e-mails and it is like, bernie, i am asking you to run for presidency but you do not seem to be trying . i'm giving you inside information that i helped bill clinton with, george bush, and i tried to help these people over the last two presidencies. even barack obama has my work. host: what kind of inside information to provide? caller: i do work on new developing programs, services, and it that are very important to create job opportunities and careers for the average person in the united states of america. my major concern is that people need opportunities and they are not getting them. host: that is going. he mentioned bernie sanders and he is mentioned in this article in "the washington post." john weidner writes that new

senator bernie sanders join me now. odds of your running increased due to secretary clinton's e-mail troubles? >> no. i think that is an issue that the inside the beltway punditry is interested in but i can tell you in vermont that i think around the rest of the country that is not an issue of major interest. people are worried about how we create millions of jobs how we deal with income and wealth inequality deal with climate change how we deal with the disastrous citizens united supreme court decision i think hillary's e-mail issue is not a major issue. >> il think that bernie sanders as a champion of openness would be bothered by the lack of transparency that seems apparent with . >> i can tell you in the last week we've gotten maybe five, seven calls to my vermont offices. look hillary has her problems i have my problems jeb bush has his, everyone has their problems but i think it's imperative that we focus on why the middle class in this country for 40 years is disappearing the top one tenth of 1% owns more wealth

we want to do that right now by giving a warm welcome to vermont senator bernie sanders. [applause] senator sanders: thank you very much. john, thank you very much for inviting me. let me thank all of you who are here this afternoon. before i begin the thrust of my remarks, let me give you a very short thumbnail sketch of my political life, because my journey here to washington, d.c. has been a little bit different than many of my senate colleagues. as john mentioned, i was born in brooklyn, new york in 1941. my father came to this country from poland at the age of 17 without a penny in his pocket and without much of an education. i always think back about the extraordinary bravery that was his, as well as many other millions of people who came to to this country with so little. my mom graduated high school in new york city. my dad worked for almost his entire life as a paint salesman. we were solidly lower middle class. my parents, my brother and i lived in a small rent-controlled apartment. my dream was to move out of that apartment and buy a home. she died young and nev

john: what about bernie sanders?he has moral dictates about how we treat our citizens. >> it would be hard to conceive of him as winning, but i definitely like to see him run. john: does everybody know martin o'malley? >> he's a governor, right? john: he's the former governor of maryland. does everybody in the room think that hillary clinton can win the presidency? >> yes. >> yes. john: no one disagrees. you feel like you know or hillary clinton stands? >> i don't and i was a supporter of her before obama won the primaries in 2008. i was trying to refresh myself because we know we know that she is the only viable democratic candidate at this point. i was trying to think of what she is trying to accomplish here. i don't know. i would like to hear more about what she plans to do. mark: what do you think? campbell: they were tough on her. this is what happens when you don't have a primary. anyone mistake is amplified and magnified. mark: if they like her they would like to have a challenge. some twitter secrets revealed

>> i don't know what kind of campaign omailie will run or webb, but i think if bernie sanders decides-- i've worked for him, he's never attacked an opponent, never run an negative ad. >> how by comparison ads? >> no, he's going to run against something, the enormous greed that's strangling the middle class. >> who is he talking about? >> the billionaires that are buying -- >> no, which politicians? >> it's not going to be against hillary clinton. they have real differences and records that are different. for example, he voted against the iraq war, so there are drchszs, but he's not good to run a campaign, if he decides to run, against her. he's going to run against what he thinks -- >> other than bernie sanders, and i'm sure he will -- >> it's a different kind of campaign not mentioning your opponent's name, but the three that you brought up in the intro, there's no reason for them to jump in negatively right now when the presses doing it for them. >> that's a good point. >> they've all been introduced to the public positively, so why go negative right now when there's no purpose to i

senator bernie sanders of vermont. senator, great to have you with us. mcconnell saying that this budget will improve medicaid. you got to break that down for us, senator. what is it? >> well i guess it's how you define the word "improvement." if you mean that there will be massive cuts in medicaid if you mean that millions of people will be thrown off of health insurance including some of the most vulnerable people in this country, including, you know seniors who are living in nursing homes, if that is improving medicaid well some of us would have some disagreements. i suspect what he means is that they're going to block grant it make major cuts then give it over to the states. >> to your knowledge senator, to your knowledge are there senate democrats that would go along with block grants to states on medicaid? >> to the best of my knowledge, there are not. it's not just block grants. it's major cuts plus the block grants. and doing away with all of the, you know the regulations that we have right now to protect the most vulnerable people in this countr

i'm joined by senator bernie sanders, one of 30 lawmakers who will be boycotting netanyahu's speech toongress tomorrow. you're a democrat senator -- independent, you she say. >> independent. >> you caucus with the democrats and number of democrats are also boycotting boycotting. tell me why you decided not to attend. >> despite the prime minister's assertions obviously was taking place is extremely partisan and in fact unprecedented. the speaker of the house, john boehner, invited mr. netanyahu and forgot to consult with the president of the united states who leads our nation in terms of foreign policy. and i think that's wrong and i think it's a very dangerous precedent. second of all, andrea no great secret that mr. netanyahu is in a tough re-election race in israel. that election is in two weeks and i do not want to see the congress of the united states being used as a prop or photo-op opportunity, not for him or any other leader around the world who is running for re-election. >> have you felt any pressure because of your decision not to attend? >> no. in my state i've gotten calls

joining me now is vermont independent senator, bernie sanders. thanks for being here, senator. >> my pleasure. >> senator, banks are now talking about withholding donations. are they scared of the work you venn and others have done? >> well, i think they're beginning to get nervous that the american people are catching on, that the ethos of wall street is greed and fraud. that is unacceptable al for six financial institutions to have assets equivalent to 6 o0% of the gdp of our country to issue half the mortgages and 2/3 of the credit cards in this country. and the american people understand that we in congress are unable to regulate wall street in fact their power is to great they regulate the united states congress. and more and more people are saying, enough is enough it is time to break them up. and they are getting a little nervous. >> you know senator, financial reform is a big part of president obama's legacy. how big will this fight be in the next year? >> well, it's going to be a huge fight because as every listener and every viewer unde

bernie sanders. he has urged the president if he can believe that.raise taxes through executive action and white house spokesman josh earnest, he has indicated that the president really loves the idea. >> the president has asked the team to examine the array of authority that is available to him to make progress on his goal. but the president is very interested in this avenue generally. kennedy: am i crazy to think that this is bad economic policy some people think so and it is time for our next segment. sigmund is here. like sigmund the sea monster. [laughter] key is the senior adviser of the global strategy group and jay thomas is here. >> what's up. kennedy: he is a comic and host. >> back on mtv. kennedy: beach house 1993. you can prove your coolness here. the jay thomas show on sirius xm, that's pretty fantastic. so the president is thinking of spending hundreds of billions of dollars of potentially mass transit products. bernie sanders came on the show and said that he wants to jack up the taxes so that he can pay over a trillion dollars in var

and bernie sanders of vermont is being all that is bernie sanders in his own righteous wing of the democraticarty. also martin o'malley who says had will not run for mikulski's seat. hillary clinton is polling in the 40 to 50% range, and he is polling at 40 to 50 points less than that. on the republican side, it's like the brady bunch squares. lots of candidates fighting it out every day. lots of politicking in public. on the democratic side, it is hillary clinton. who is very capable of getting into a political fight when she wants to. right now there is no one for her to punch. we haven't really seen anything like this before in modern politics so no one really knows what will happen, no one knows how you do this when you have the whole field to yourself and you don't really have primary opponents, how do you campaign for the presidential nomination? well, turns out we're learning the answer to that question is mostly you just don't bother. other than her paid speeches not open to the public or press, she has done a grand total of two public speeches in the entire year of 2015 so far. the f

who's -- >> if i may, you know let's not discount senator bernie sanders. a point though. and if he runs probably it will be as a democrat. the point is at least he has a very carved out niche area that he wants to talk about, reasons he would run. and he has ideas that he would advance. he could use therefore, what i mean a presidential run, even if it was fruitless, to advance some of the things he cares about. what i don't see in o'malley who has been traveling around for a long time now to try and whip up some primary interest is i don't see what is there is there. what is he about different from anyone or what is the message or messages he wants? >> the center of the political world today was in boston specifically dorchester where the friends of ted kennedy gathered at the opening of the edward m. kennedy institute for the united states senate at the kennedy library which includes a full-scale replica of the united states senate chamber and of ted kennedy's senate office. the president was there, the vice president was there. current members of both p

john: what do we think about bernie sanders?proud liberalism in moral to keynes about how we treat our citizen. >> i don't think he would ever win. i definitely would like to see him run. john: does everyone know who martin o'malley is? does anyone? he is the former governor of ireland -- of d-maryland. does everyone think hillary clinton can win the presidency? do you feel like you know where she stands? >> i don't. i was a big supporter of hillary in 2008 and i was kind of trying to refresh myself because we all know that she is pretty much the only viable democratic candidate at this point. i was trying to think of what she is trying to accomplish and i don't know. mark: what you think? campbell: they are really tough on her, especially the e-mail. this is what happens. any mistake you make it amplified. mark: up next, some twitter secrets revealed. ♪ campbell: the white house just announced that president obama finally called bib.i. mark: back to march madness. pimm: hello. i am pimm fox. here is what i'm taking stock of. eu

let's get one of those member senator bernie sander, independent senator from vermont vermont.decided that you won't go hear a speech from the visiting prime minister of israel. it's pretty unprecedented, isn't it? >> yes. >> has that ever happened before when a prime minister comes to the united states and a group of democrats or republicans for that matter decide to boycott the leader of a friendly ally? >> i think you're right. that's unprecedented. >> why have you decided that it would be best from your perspective to not go sit in the chambers and the house of representatives and at least give him the courtesy of what he has to say? >> a couple of reasons. the first open most important everybody knows constitutionally and unprecedented, the president of the united states is the leader of the country in foreign policy. the idea that speaker boehner would politicize foreign policy to the degree of not even consulting with president obama about netanyahu's visit is to me extremely unfortunate. >> bub that's the speaker. you want to blame netanyahu for what the speaker did? >>

>> i like bernie sanders.ut electability is a factor. >> consistency is a factor and the idea of electability certainly does not enter into my thought process until later on. >> i think the worst immigrant or liberal is better than the best conservative i know. >> absolutely not electable if you did not vote for them. you have to get out and vote for the candidate you trust him and hope everybody sees what it is you see. >> i think the country is ready for a moderate democrat. i think elizabeth warren, as much as i like her, is too liberal, even though i like a lot of things she is for. she is too liberal. >> i think it could potentially solve itself, once you pick what i think would be the right candidate, regardless of whether some talking head says that person is electable. mark: so that is another big difference, in part because you have got republicans who are really interested in winning, which is really -- dark rats are really interested in winning, which is normally what republicans are. i generally fu

biden, both of them highly unlikely to run, to lesser-known names like ernie sanders, and -- bernie sandersnd martin o'malley. speaking of, here's the maryland governor talking about the challenges of hrc. governor o'malley: that inevitable frontrunner is inevitable until he or she is no longer inevitable. i think we will see the conference -- a conversation about how to restore middle-class opportunity. john: from hillary's point of view, how she looks at things would it be better for her to have a credible challenger or challengers, or better off with none of that and going to go with the press? mark: she will get martin o'malley helping her out. to his base: governor, but behind his back i call him unemployed. he's close friends -- to his faith i call him governor, but behind his back i call him unemployed. he's close friends with the clintons. the role he will serve will be in the debate and discussion not attacking her, but giving her a sparring partner. john: i was interviewing him this morning and i asked him what kind of campaign are you going to run if you run this campaign? will y

were to ask rand paul what he would expect the postal service to like and contrast with what bernie sanders would say, it would be like night and day. the thing is the congress has never said if this is what we want to have, there needs to be a way by which it gets funded. now we can all talk about raising everybody's rates, but here's the important thing to keep in mind. you may compel people, but today with electronic communication you don't have to mail. so if you end up doing things that makes it apparent to a business that the prices you're charging no longer facilitate the ability to use, they will take their business elsewhere. but you still have to mandate. how do you fund the mandate in the absence of sufficient revenue if the revenue has an opportunity. >> i guess what i would like to point out is that what robert said is very important. the moment of passage is important to remember. e enormous, robust expanding business that was approaching a cliff where i think legislators felt that mail was expanding but there would be a time in which it would totally evaporate. there would be

>> i like bernie sanders, but electability is a factor. >> consistency is important.he idea of electability really doesn't enter into my thought process until later on. >> electability becomes a trump consideration for me because i think the worst democrat or liberal is better than the best conservative i know. >> who says they're not electable? if they're absolutely not electle if you don't vote for them. you have to hope everybody see what is you see in them. >> thing country is ready for a moderate democrat, i think hillary is moderate, i think elizabeth warren, as much as i like him is too liberal, even though i like a lot of the things she's for, she's too liberal. >> i think it could potentially solve itself. once you pick what i think would be the right candidate, regardless of whether some talking head says that person is electable. mark. that's another big difference in part because you've got republicans who are really interested in winning, which is normally what democrat -- republicans rah -- democrats really interested in winning which is normally what re

republicans are not doing a lot of opposition research on martin o'malley and bernie sanders. they will be able to drop this stuff out. they have investigative reporting budgets. there will be a lot more investigating. john: think about all of the clinton scandals. one argument would be that the clintons survived it in the 1990's. bill clinton is a popular president. back in 2008, the large part of the democratic party that sighed wearily of going back to the notion of going back to all that stuff from the 1990's. will this not be a psychic overhang for her? impeachment and all of that. if this stretches out and the republicans with benghazi and there are more subpoenas, what is the psychic toll that takes on the electorate? i cannot tell you, but it is not good. mark: her first political press conference since 2008. strong performance under those circumstances. if we normally elect the most likable person, today, she was practiced and careful, lawyerly. she was good enough today to get elected if the republicans nominate someone who is not particularly likable. but she was no

listen, i will say, bernie sanders, i at least respect that he admits he is a socialist. i will give him credit for candor. i respect someone, as you all know, who ran as a socialist. i can respect someone who is candid much more than politicians who get elected pretending to believe and common sense conservative dahlias and then go and vote the same as a socialist what. -- would. i love vermont. it is wonderful. there is something about the 2016 calendar that orders the timing people visit various states. >> senator, your first day in office what you do with isis -- what do you do with isis? cruz: a great question. they are the face of evil. they are crucifying christians. they use race as a weapon of war. i was sitting down with the president of kurdistan. a man told him in tears that isi s raped his mother, his sister, and his wife. how can i live with myself? at the same time we are seeing such barbarism, we are seeing obama acting as an apologist for radical islamic terrorism. i was at a washington prayer breakfast several weeks ago. the president equated what isis i

they live in a world where bernie sanders and jeff sessions are not different. if you want to know how crazy they are, they do not see any difference between bernie sanders and jeff sessions. they constantly talk about our differences but i imagine senator sanders and senator sessions would have a lot in common. everything you have in common, radical islam hates. if someone does not do something about it soon, they will come our way again. the number one harvard he i have is to keep the war over there so it does not come here. the worst combination of all is radical islam acquiring weapons of mass distraction. the only reason 3000 died on 9/11 and not 3 million is they could not get the weapons to kill 3 million of us. if they could, they would. they have never been closer in many ways. we'll have to go back to iraq and most likely syria with an american ground component as part of a regional force to dig these guys out of the ground and clear and hold and build. as for holding syria that will be a monumental endeavor. billions of dollars, the country has been c

many bernie sanders talks. the mandatory programs can't be on autopilot. i want to echo what mr. crapo said -- many of you on the other side have backgrounds in business and i just don't get the failure to a knowledge of the mass on the revenue side. -- the math on the revenue side. that is close to the historic average. what nobody says is that under that historic average, we have never balanced the budget. the only time is when we were beat between 18.8 and 19.9% of revenues of percentage of gdp. that is even before we deal with the entitlement changes before we deal with the demographics. it makes no sense on top of that when we constantly cite other nations who have a more competitive package. we cite the u.k. with lower tax rates. o

he and bernie sanders are basically the only two democrats that seem like they are running for the democratic nomination for president against the inevitable candidacy of hillary clinton. in the most recent polls, potential candidate clinton leads by 47 and 48 points. martin o' malley has not polled above 2%. most recently he was at 1%. but if the match up is not going his way by several dozen points, well, the retirement of legendary senator barbara mikulski might offer a ticket to ride for him holding federal office. i think if she is interested in making a go for his seat. i think he will have an in when it comes to making an appointment to talk to her about it. her long time receptionist. her receptionist for 27 years is martin o'malley's mom. she too is a force of nature. everyone there knows her and fears her. will be missed in the senate if only as a character. she is a female pioneer. but her retirement and timing may change the dynamics on what is likely to be the democratic party's pioneering nomination of the first over family major party nominee for president of the united states.

. >> clinton defenders say we would let things get by with them, if bernie sanders used a private e-mailwould jump on him. she snows she is subjected to a standard. >> it's the chicken and the egg. thank you to my panel. we should have held that until the end of the show. when we return, let me finish with netanyahu's speech today. and so many other discounts that people think i'm a big deal. and boy, are they right. ladies, i can share hundreds in savings with all of you! just visit progressive.com today. but right now, it's choosing time. ooh! we have a winner. all: what? [chuckles] he's supposed to pick one of us. this is a joke, right? that was the whole point of us being here. is there such a thing as a sure thing in business? some say buy gold. others say buy soybeans. i say, buy comcast business internet. unlike internet providers that slow down when traffic picks up, you get speed you can rely on. it's a safe bet. like a gold-plated soybean. reliably fast internet starts at $69.95 a month. comcast business. built for business. >>> let me finish tonight with netanyahu's address to

there's bernie sanders. bobby jindal. martin o'malley. >> you have bob corker crossed out but i think he's going to change his mind. he'll come rushing back in. we already have our first loss there. both are best known for participation in our fantasy draft. it's 2015. warmest winter on record. 2014 was the warmest year on record. should we take anyone running for public office who refuses to believe that climate change exists seriously? >> i think it's safe to say that more than 100 students selected for the white house science fair are all winners. they created a gadget or app. they are the super girls. they are kindergartners. try not to fall in love. >> this is wonderful. how did you figure this out? >> we had a brainstorming session. are you able to slow it down and speed it up? >> no. >> so that would require an adjustment. >> yes. it's a prototype. it's a prototype. it will get refined later. >> have you ever had a brainstorm session yourself? >> i've had a couple brainstorming sessions but didn't come up with anyt
