the ability. you think about union votes, for example. donald trump is bringing them in. they actually went and registered. they voted for donald trump. redefining the party. will it bring some of the bluecollar democrats? >> i do not think that there is any doubt. you go to a brokered convention. the establishment pulling something like that. a lot of bernie's supporters, i am feeling. i do not take that the establishment gop understands how permanent this changes. the establishment control. you know that they will not take no for an answer. >> what does it mean to the establishment? congressmen who are up for reelection. >> i think that it will be a down problem. 2012. they decided we need to expand. they created a calendar that was supposed to help the establishment candidate. trump came in. he brought in new voters. now he is running away with it. rubio and kasich do not look like they have a chance. trish: do not go anywhere. shaking his head. this entire discussion. none other than governor pataki. marco rubio supporter. >> that is total nonsense. they are masking behind donald trump. thirty-two, 33, 34% of the votes. trish: more than anyone else? >> you can get as many votes as t

the subtle pattern. >>> blue skies to look forward to. >>> it looks beautiful for question is on union street. >>> thes make for a beautiful mix. >> thank you. giants fans are looking at the calendar as we head into the new season and many are saying it is 2016 and it isn't even year so they are counting on the giants to bring home a world series title. >>> after a disappointing 2015 the drive look ready to make another deep playoff run. the giants spend $326 million in the off-season locking up current players and signing high-priced free agents. >>> the success of the giants rests on the pitching staff and the season they look armed and dangerous. >>> looking to improve upon our work on i should say. >> i am not giving up runs. >> the giants are primed for another memorable late-season run with one of the top starting rotations in baseball. the team is listed as one of the favorites to win the world series. watch the ktvu spring-training special. the san francisco giants armed and dangerous at noon today. >>> still ahead, a mother using her plane to spread your an easter weekend. the gift she brough

the union standpoint, right? we know that unions tend to often go in the democratic side of this, but donald trump has been getting a lot of bluelar worker vote here and a lot of traction there. what do you hear from people with whom you work over at the mich auto organization? >> well, the industry has many stakeholders, and the uaw and organized labor is as important a stakeholder as anyone. so the voice of those different stakeholders is very important. and they, you know, people vote on different lines and for different reasons. liz: sure. >> we have 13 assembly plants here, and those plants are organized labor. they're very important to the economy here. so protecting and maintaining those jobs here is extremely important. at the same time, we need to be able to compete on a global basis, so, you know -- liz: so trade is an issue. okay, then let me push you here. donald trump has said i want to smack down trade and make sure that it's fair trade, but that means slapping all kinds of tariffs on things with mexico. ford has a plant in mexico. that's called the free market, okay? and we have a buick plant in china, you know t

the independent blue ribbon commission. on saturday the commission recommended a change in leadership at the jail. in a safety the sheriff said the union is slinging mud and trying to protect the status quo. she said that their accusations are untrue, and i am focused on implementing meaningful reforms throughout the jail. we have yet to hear a on this. >> the santa clara mayor is confident the police force will not lose the public trust despite many officers facing charges, including operating a chop shot for one officer that sold stolen car parts. the mayor believes despite criminal incidents, the city procedures to deal with them fosters community trust. >> i believe that our community has a lot of confidence in our pass department as long as we keep it open, transparent and the public is aware of what is happening we are in good shape. >> two other officers were arrested last year, tom lippo convicted of exposing himself in public and another federal officer receive prohibition for shoplifting. >> police shooting in fairfield is linked to the shooting of an 8-year-old concord boy. the people shot james jerrard yesterday afternoon.

the blame game. trish: republicans say he is hardly a republican. why can't he create his own thing on to himself? bring in blue-collar democrats and -- hillary clinton and unions? >> he likes narrative and attention he was able to say look, i was on the road, look what those washington insiders did to me. in fact they haven't done anything. the rules committee is who determines nominating process. the rules committee doesn't even exist. it won't exist until all primaries are set and done. this talk of insiders trying to sabotage the trump campaign, pure balderdash. trish: or wishful thinking of -- third party candidacy. what do you think? >> i think the real testament is the fact that voters are making their decision and voters have currently put donald trump ahead of these quote, unquote establishment republicans. even he is barely a republican or not legitimate republican voters seem to want that the question then becomes does the establishment do something the voters clearly don't want? trish: that is risk. mitt romney getting out there saying this is no not the right direction for the party. wait a second. that is exactly who i want. so who are you, mitt r

the thing. donald trump is exceedingly popular among blue collar workers and union workers. appy with walker. this does nothing in the way of expanding cruz's base. look at the other endorsements. as much as i admire scott walker, i don't think this is going to matter. >> mary katherine do you think john kasich will have any effect on who wins wisconsin whether it's cruz or trump? >> well, yes, and actually governor walker has talked a bit about kasich as if he's a spoiler which gives you a clue as to where he might go today. we're not sure but he's talked about that in that way. i do think it makes a difference. and he's right about governor walker. he's a good governor but his numbers aren't great. here's where i differ. scott walker is a symbol of actually having been on the ground and done battle with the left and come out on the other side. he's done it many times in wisconsin. his people have tons of contacts on the ground. that state because of the many elections and recalls and what have you has been dissected within an inch of his life. having that apparatus availabl

the american worker has been squeezed. dayton was a manufacturing town with lots of blue-collar union jobs that left the country.e talked about how both parties -- as my teamster world war ii that are in -- veteran dad used with -- ii also stood talked to two of the anonymous people standing at the corner and they were iraq war vets. they were not going to vote. they were very upset about how they were sent to iraq based on lies. i asked one young man why they were not going to vote. so why go to these events? is this something you enjoy doing to engage people on this? d go to trouble events more -- do you go to trump of vents more? caller: not at all. so i amn colorado park taking care grandkids so i went to two sanders event in colorado. -- i go interested in because i want to see who is there. i want to see what people think. i engage in conversation. there is a bridge between some of these issues. if you stand and talk with people they will talk about wages, loss of jobs. the woman i stood next to, a pakistan, she had a sign that said islam is not a hate filled religion or something like that and i'm telling

the city's most famous blue glass make are is thrilled sanctions on iran have been lifted. >> welcome back to al jazeera america i'm antonio mora. coming up in this half hour of international news the european union commits to closer ties to cuba. but first in denmark an activist has been fined $3,000 for giving a ride to a syrian refugee family. danish authorities say elizabeth zornig drove the refugees to copenhagen. her husband was fined for feeding them. , under a danish law it is a crime to transport people who do not have passports. >>> president obama gave a wide ranging interview on his foreign policy record to atlantic magazine. rosiland jordan takes a closer look into his comments. >> reporter: a year into the syrian civil war u.s. president barack obama warned bashar al-assad don't use chemical weapons against your people. >> we have been very clear to the assad regime and also to other players on the ground that a red line for us is, we start be seeing a whole bunch of chemical weapons moving around or being utilized. >> reporter: a year later the residents of huta were gassed and obama was ready to launch air strikes. >> the ayes to the right 192 and the nos to the left 285. >> but t

the trade unions are coming on board. i am hearing this from a lot of democrats. donald trump is tapping into the blue-collar workers. few decades, donald trump is resignation with them. con november when new york is in play, i believe we could see a resounding win for donald trump based on the energy. >> you think that donald trump can win new york? i absolutely do. a republican winning, a two to one democratic county. a republican when. they can become governor and they can certainly carry it in the presidential. we have seen it before. real quickly, representative, do you agree with that? i agree. i think that massachusetts is in play. donald trump is bringing all demographics to the republican party. this will be the future reagan democrat. they will be voting for him in november. i see it on the ground myself. i noted the pains we have in massachusetts. failed policy for the last 18 years. a massive turnout in favor of donald trump. >> doing it again. donald trump dropping out of this conference. did he hurt himself with conservatives. after all, he has not gotten the nomination. he could be hurting himself now.

the soviet union attended to keep u.s. forces that they by -- at bay by establishing 2 defense lines to control this blue zone, right here. lines, like here and here, on these island chains to deny u.s. access. but then, the soviet economy collapsed. as a result of the arms race with a much wealthier western country, including the u.s. and japane, today the u.s. and japanese economy might go broke because of the arms race in china. the soviet union was a sophisticated military superpower, capable of reaching a global nuclear war. it is a long way for china to become a similarly capable superpower, involving conventional and nuclear realms. most of all, while the united states and soviet union were in the cold war, the united states and china, are not. based on a good understanding of those of those similarities and differences, we can learn lessons from the cold war experience and find a way to maintain peace and security in the asian pacific region today, while shaping mutually beneficial relationships among the west, japan, and china. in the following one plus hours, we will discuss the cold war in the pacific, and how

wouldn't you admit if donald trump were the republican candidate, he would pull democratic voters, union workers. >> that's an excellent point. he would pull in many blue collar workers in the rust belt. so states like pennsylvania and wisconsin, that have been difficult for republicans in general elections and presidential years, i think would become in play again and put new possibilities for the republican party to secure enough electoral votes to win the presidency. >> the chicago tribune has endorsed marco rubio in the 2016 presidential campaign. >> not going to do much good unfortunate unfortunately. >> i'm wondering myself. >> keith, on the other side, are you surprised that a gentleman, senator sanders, who is proposing by the tax policy or tax box accounts the largest tax increase in the history of peace time america, that includes tax hikes on the medical class, who sanders disputes their findings, either way it would increase taxes, are you surprised that a gentleman proposing that won in michigan last night? >> well, i don't know if b the characterization you put on sanders, but i am surprised that he is doing as well as he is. i mean, it's

the police department. he convened a blue ribbon commission and at that commission he laid part of the blame of the culture of the police department on the overbearing power of the police officers union. today the police officers association shot back with both barrels. here's the story. it's an allegation that no one, especially a politician, ever wants to be accused of. but here it is. according to sworn statements by two police union officials, in 2010 while having a dinner after a harvard conference then police chief george gascon was drinking heavily and while recalling his time on the los angeles police department, quote, made multiple statements that disparaged minorities. he became so loud and animated that an african-american patron approached chief gascon and asked him to restrain himself because his behavior was offending their family. the former union police president says he is bringing up the 5-year-old dinner to show that gascon was not always the crusading police reformer he is today. >> he is obviously an opportunistic politician. and i have watched him flip- flop on so many issues and i wasn't going to sit back and watch him, um, sully the reputation of this departm

the radar. we detect a difference between a rain drop, a snow flake and sleet. we're focused in union and anson county along highway 74. where you see blue, monroe, through marshville, and wingot. this is where we'll see sleet if not wet snow flakes mixing in. that extends south toward page land. this is the way it looks on conventional radar. you see what appears to be heavy rain. some of it is. part of it is also snow. and also some sleet. it's all sliding on to the east. let's put a track on it as it works its way to the east at 25 to 30 miles per hour through indian trail matthews about 6:20. midland at 6:45. rain showers toward shinville and just north of mooresville. just detecting rain. chilly rain but rain. up across the high country, not much going on but there's precipitation across the tennessee border that will slide into the north carolina mountains in the form of snow tonight. here's a look at the very latest future cast on snow accumulations from here on out. not exactly a blockbuster. most neighborhoods a half inch or less. some high peeks an inch or more. there are advisories for snow in the high country over night tonig

>>> the union representing santa clara deputies is calling for new deputies to face lori smith asking for an investigation. she is accused of information with judge cordell. he is in charge of blue ribbon commission investigating the death of michael koyie last year. three deputies have been charged with murder. the da says smith shared the information with cordell in an attempt to sway the judge's recommendation for change. >>> she is lost the rank in file. to this day there is a vote of no confidence issued back in 2014 and 11% feel that she can do the job and 89% feel that she can't. >> sheriff smith says the allegations are untrue. i am focused on implementing meaningful reforms. >> the prices for local dungeness crab were set today and fishermen are busy. taking off in half moon bay at the harbor before noon and told that they would get impressive $2.90 a pound. tests were done on the quality of the catch to help determine the price. the season is finally under way after a five-month delay due to a toxic algae in the crab. i have been in the industry 50 plus years and i have never seen the crab industry stopped because of the acid. >> the crabbers will miss out on the lucra

all of these things that the basic blue collar voters in the republican party are saying no to, isn't it also true that going back to the founding of the american conservative union by william f. buckley jr. has been wisking and nodding at racial prejudice and that, too, is coming back to haunt your party? >> i don't accept the premise of the question. let me go back to what you said a few moments ago. the republican party is not for what you said a few moments ago in terms of lower taxes for the rich it's lower taxes for all americans out there. when you look at the policies of ronald reagan and george w. bush and george h.w. bush it's a fiscal conservatism for all americans. >> isn't that bushism that whole panoply of ideas that is being soundly rejected by at least 40% of the voters in your party. >> i don't deny that. and what's also very interesting is that when you take a look at conservatism the supreme court has always j the ultimate litmus test and we had the death of justice scalia and you would think that a lot of conservatives would say, hmm, we probably want a true and trusted conservative that's going to be elected to the presidency that's going to
