in many cases, people thought anderson cooper won the debate. in fairness to the previous moderators it is easier to handle questions among five candidates opposed to 11. >> five, flee or two of whom are not serious candidates. was it weird to have on the stage on the side, cnn anchor and african-american anchor asking facebook questions on raise and one in spanish about immigration. >> incredibly offensive. i know juan carlos lopez he can talk about any issue and he could have been the moderator for 9 debate, maybe not use anderson cooper but he asked the immigration question and let son ask -- and lemon asking the african membership, but do we want to pigeonhole the categories? >> and anderson cooper waited an hour that asked two questions about hillary clinton and the e-mails and not even bradening -- broadening, many people do not consider you trustworthy. >> very unfortunate. the first hour is important when the viewers are tuning in. guess what? that has been the topic of what the media has been covered for seven or eight months. they shou

anderson cooper do you want to : shield gun companies or not? sen.ders: do i think that a gun shop in vermont that legally sells a gun to somebody, that that gun shop owner should be held responsible? i don't. on the other hand, where you and gun shops knowingly giving guns to criminals or aiding and abetting, of course we should take action. anderson cooper secretary : clinton, is bernie sanders tough enough on guns? sec. clinton: no, not at all. we have to look at the fact that we lose 90 people a day from gun violence. this has gone on too long. it's time the entire country stands up against the nra. [applause] the majority of our country supports background checks and even the majority of gun owners do. senator sanders did vote five times against the brady bill. since it was passed, more than 2 million prohibited purchases have been prevented. he also did vote, as he said, for this immunity provision. i voted against it. i was in the senate at the same time. it wasn't that complicated to me. it was pretty straightforward to me that he was going t

better than the questions coming from anderson cooper is the facebook stuff. >> you mean donald trump is going to live tweet? >> no, don lemon is going to take questions from facebook. that's america's voice. >> how they're phrased versus the ones coming from the moderator. >> i hate it when they take questions from facebook. >> we've got to take my jump shot. >>> next will the democratic candidate defend or distance themselves from president obama's foreign policy missteps at the debate tonight. a programming note -- stay tuned to fox news tonight for the best live post debate analysis anywhere with the kelly file at a special time of 11:00 p.m. eastern followed by sean hannity at midnight eastern. >>> over seven years in office, president obama has been steadfast in his belief that his vision for america's role in the world is the right one. despite his contentions, global threats like isis, syria, russia and iran have seen their influence on the world stage grow. this week the president attempted to defend his record on an increasingly long list of missteps. >> you said that this w

he really wanted to choke anderson cooper to death. >> i want to choke anderson cooper to death. >> have you debated with anderson cooper as a moderator? >> no, not yet. how did the democrats lose the civil libertarian angle? >> i would say the obama administration has maintained some policies that maybe -- >> maintained and extended and in some ways improved. >> tell me if you agree. to my eye, lincoln chaffey is the most pro candidate. >> maybe he just saw the martian. >> we have to go. thank you so much mr. trump. >> enough of the democrats. playboy bunnies coming up after the break. stick around. >>> live from america's news headquarters, i'm kelly wright. candidates square off and the debate taking place in las vegas. this was the first chance for the front runner to face other hopefuls and including bernie sanders. take a listen as clinton responds to a question about shifting positions on key issues. >> i'm a progressive, but i'm a progressive that likes to get things done. and i know how to find common ground. i have done that in every decision i have had. >> memphis police say t

cnn host anderson cooper. >> i'm already regretting it. let me ample phi what i said. >> no, no, no. we don't need that anderson cooper. is he a member of the clinton foundation initiative. did you know that? >> i do. and i must say i'm not impressed. >> okay. should he declare that at the top of the? >> yeah, he probably should say it but it's something nominal. it's a full disclosure thing. >> yeah. the idea that he would be tainted, look. clinton initiative conducting seminars. there is nothing sinister about it. i don't think it matters. >> a bunch of people are. stephanopoulos, of course, matt lauer, tom brokaw, but you and i aren't members. i was never even invited. were you invited? >> i'm extremely resentful. i was not onyx son's enemy list and i wasn't on the clinton friendly list. two deficits in my resume. >> you and i are like pariahs, we don't even get consideration to be on big things like that. all right, charles krauthammer, who really loves the factor. thank you. next on the rundown, kirsten powers another one who loves ou

kirstin: anderson cooper to really good job. is true there are certain things he didn't talk about but that will happen in every debate. it is not going to be perfect. every debate you could pick out, they didn't -- i think they were probably very aware who their audience once and i think they were aware who their audience was and that is something democrats actually are not that interested in hearing about. bill: anderson cooper is a journalist and you are telling me he is asking a question because he knows who his audience is? kirstin: you want to know what was motivating somebody. i don't know. that is what they did. bill: the biggest threat in the world today virtually ignored by anderson cooper. kirstin: when bernie sanders said climate change is the biggest security -- you have such a hard -- let me finish what i am saying. i would have followed up when he said that about climate change with the isis question. that was the opportunity to say what about -- bill: on sunday night steve cross, obama's best friend eve this rate

. >> of course she never did get back to that question that anderson cooper asked. clinton will be questioned about her private email server next week. the fbi is investigating. and according to the "new york times," agents are reporthood i angry with president obama over trying to clear his former secretary of state of wrongdoing before they reached any conclusions. >> i don't think it posed a national security problem. i think it was a mistake that she's acknowledged. i can tell you this is not a situation in which america's national security was endangered. >> on top of all that, hillary may be finding out soon whether joe biden is going to challenge her or not. the vice president is reportedly going to make his final decision on a run within the coming days so let's bring in chief white house correspondent ed henry. now election, ed, good to see

first, i think anderson cooper did a great job. he was xwekably prepared, he asked tough questions, and in many cases many people thought anderson cooper won that debate. it's a lot easier to handle questions among five candidates, not 11 or 10. >> but was it a little weird to have also on the side cnn anchor don lemon asking a question or too about facebook query, and carlos lopez asking questions? >> i know juan carlos lopez, he can talk about any issue from domestic to foreign policy. he himself could have been the moderator, and the fact is they had him asking the immigration question, had don lemon asking the african-american questions, i know you want to showcase your anchors, but should we pigeonhole them. >>> and what about anderson waiting almost two hours before asking questions about the e-mails. >> again, i think it was very disappointing from cnn's standpoint that they didn't address the e-mail issue earlier on the the first hour is very important, and guess what? that has been the topic of what the media has been cove

msubeliac,anderson cooper proved himself to be the best moderator of debates thus far. cause mr. cooper forgot the isis and foreign policy department. alabama is an open minded and educated voter, i thought the questions were tough, but the minor candidates did not get enough time. >> they have no chance and cnn knows it. bernie sanders has no chance, but he's entertaining, at least. that was the equation. national tennessee, bill, my sister and i watched you on out numbered today. while you come across sometimes as gruff, we see the depth of yurhearted. we appreciate and admire your courage. well, that's a nice letter. i appreciate that. adrian price, curious to know whether kirsten powers has found a starving child yet. >> it's not easy getting poor folks to come on tv to talk about their circumstance. but i'm on it. sandra callfield, as a political junkie, i have read all of the killing books. mar marjoie has requested your book on hitler and my son, david, is getting "killing reagan" for his birthday. here's a tip. become a premium member and your discounts will save

anderson cooper 360 right now. >>> good evening everybody from las vegas.e just 30 minutes from now five democratic presidential candidates face off for the first time. there is certainly a lot at stake and a lot of excitement at the center podium on the debate stage, front-runner hillary clinton. to her right bernie sanders, to the left martin o'malley, lincoln chafee and jim webb. dana bash will be here. cnn espanol washington correspondent juan carlos lopez. don lemon will bring in questions via facebook. there's been a lot

anderson cooper the moderator. i'm jake tapper.olf blitzer who is in "the situation room." >>> happening now, final countdown, the democratic presidential candidates are less than four hours away from their first debate right here on cnn. hillary clinton and her main challenger, senator bernie sanders, will square off for the first time. will they try to bill themselves up or knock their opponent down? on the line, the future is now for underdogs, jim webb, former maryland governor, martin o'malley, former rhode island governor, lincoln chafee. can one of them seize the moment and become a real player in this campaign? trump tweets. taunted by clinton during a rally outside his hotel, donald trump says he'll not only be watching the democrats deba

let's take a look at that moment in the campaign, in the debate rather with anderson cooper. >> you were against same sex marriage and now you're for it. you defended president obama's immigration policies and now say they are too harsh. you supported his trade deal dozens of times and called it the goal standard. >> take the trade deal. i did say when i was secretary of state three years ago i hoped it would be the gold standard. it was just finally negotiated last week. and in looking at it, it didn't meet my standards. >> now, doesn't that make her vulnerable in a general election campaign? >> i don't think so, andrea. obviously people evolve, they learn. same sex marriage is a place that now commands support of a majority of the american people. but it didn't, you know, just a few years ago. and i think she's been a champion for lgbt rights. and on the trade matter, as she said, she set a high bar. when she looked at the final deal that was only negotiated last week, she couldn't look the american people in the eye and say that passage of this deal would raise their wages. that's the

five candidates went toe to toe with anderson cooper and each other more than two hours. among the big moments of the night according to kpix5 political analysts was this. >> and that is that the american people are sick and tired are hearing about your damn e-mail. >> as senator bernie sanders literally and figuratively offered a life raft to clinton over questions of her e-mails while at the state department. >> that got huge response and jim webb said no, the e-mails are important and anderson cooper said do you want to respond and she said no. >> it's always the republicans or their sympathizers who say you can't have paid leave. you can't provide healthcare. they don't mind having big government to interfere with a woman's right to choose and to try to take down planned parenthood. they're fine with big government when it comes to that. i'm sick of it. >> other candidates like maryland governor martin o'malley who has said he wouldn't mind the vp job seemed to be playing nice with hillary. >> a couple times tonight he had the opportunity to really go after hillary cl

cnn news anchor anderson cooper had a on stage spanking from madonna. >> cooper will be moderating theatic debate next month. he was not offered the same debate prep. he didn't actually say that. but i would be if i was him. speaking of hot and over rated starbucks has the toasted graham lat latte. not inspired lindsay graham which is unfortunate because he could use the help frankly. it is low sugar. low sugar option coming in at 40 grams of sugar. i fear for our future and you should, too. hopefully you will make it to your next birthday. hat peep birthday sopg is free for all to sing poorly. the copy right is invalid. no one should crop it as the bummest song ever. it is 4 lines long and 3 of them are exactly the same line. nobody understand profits more than gizelle bunch on. the super model and wife of the most hated man in america has photographed modeling shots for $700. no, that must be 70. no? not a typo. $700. that book costs more than most coffee tables. don't buy it. and finally, wrapprapper chris may be banned from performing in u australia. back to you, greg. >> thank you

greg: some credit for anderson cooper. i know he works for the enemy. there was a sense of urgency and energy. what will he or she think about that one speed that towards the end, sort of lost it. you did not answer the question. by the end, he sort of lost it and people were talking over him. some things that you need to take away from this debate. he comes across and rules his lips in. greg: even if he fixes the live issue, he is done. he comes across as someone who is not mature. a little too formidable. rosanna: what to look for as you study these candidates? >> obviously, that is the message. the nonverbal's are the emotions that go with it. whether you agree with them or not. greg: i wonder what it is like for the guy that is on a date with you. >> oh, they all love me. come on. my kids and husband love that aspect about living with me every single day. [laughter] rosanna: thank you so much. we appreciate it. greg: joe biden. >> he did not participate. she did well. rosanna: only a few more days to decide if he wants to be in the race. greg: see y

lou: that's my point. [ laughter ] >> but anderson cooper, and i think he's a good guy, too.e never met him. lou: lovely fellow. >> he's been involved with the clinton foundation and, of course people are going to raise questions about that. the other point is why did cnn say they're not going to pit the democrats against each other. they explicitly said this, they're not going to pit the democrats against each other. lou: that's so unseemly, guy, you don't want people talking honestly about the issues and the rough-and-tumble of the public arena! that would be so crash and boujoasie. >> that would prove him to say he doesn't have ties. >> i'll take that bet. >> going to lose money, take my cash, you guys hear that? [ laughter ]. lou: jedidiah, thanks for being with us and we'll see whether you're right or not. guy benson, thank you. we only disagreed on two or three things. >> amazing, miraculous. lou: in washington state, the stadium high school bowl in tacoma. the stadium high school bowl in tacoma will be closed until february. to repair extensive damage from a storm over

anderson cooper 360 right now. >>> good evening everybody from las vegas. we're just 30 minutes from now five democratic presidential candidates face off for the first time. there is certainly a lot at stake and a lot of excitement at the center podium on the debate stage, front-runner hillary clinton. to her right bernie sanders, to the left martin o'malley, lincoln chafee and jim webb. dana bash will be here. cnn espanol washington correspondent juan carlos lopez. don lemon will bring in questions via facebook. there's been a lot of activity and the excitement is palpable. we're joined now on the floor from brianna. >> hi there anderson. i want to give you a look at the stage behind me me. you can see where dana bash and juan carlos will be. you'll be asking questions of the candidates. their five lecterns stand ready for them. they're not far from the debate hall. they're in their green room trailers. we were just out behind the hotel. martin o'malley has a guitar in his trailer. lincoln chafee, jim webb, we saw them out there. also, as we await hillary

it was almost the first word out of anderson cooper's mouth. it was the first question aimed at bernie sanders. his political history going back decades to his youth was very much on the table tonight. anderson cooper composed on a republican attack ad against bernie sanders. he did not compose any republican attack ad against clinton or any of the other candidates. how did bernie sanders handle that first inning that was all about socialism? >> i thought he handled the question well, but what really i found interesting about the exchange was hillary clinton, as soon as sanders finished, she was ready to get into the discussion. she had a -- she was taking a shot at -- >> easy one for her to duck, by the way. >> she wanted this. >> yeah. >> she basically said, when she thinks of capitalism, she thinks of small businesses. she thinks of the greatest period of prosperity in this country's history. the post-war decades. she says basically, the goal of government and her goal in politics, sometimes needs to be to save capitalism from itself. the ex

how -- >> anderson cooper, i think is a great interviewer and will be very fair. think he will be direct and hard hitting. the same rules should have ap y applied in the last debate as jake tapper who did a very good job making sure to elicit debate. i don't see that here and it worries me. >> you want a debate between candidates and not between moderators and candidates. >> did you like last month's debate with the republicans? >> i enjoyed seeing -- i won't call it a circus, but i enjoyed watching the performance of those candidates running. >> why not the same circus tonight, david? >> because we're talking about issues that- >> and they weren't talking about issues last month? >> they were talking about hairstyles and who looks better than the other, whether fiorina has the right face or not. >> are you saying that -- no -- no -- i can't let this fly. are you saying democrats have cornered the market on decorum? >> the good looking market. what i will say is this, there are five candidates that will be on the debate stage tonight -- can i finish? >> go ahead.

not only is it going to happen, anderson cooper said it's not going to happen. i love this.e says i'm uncomfortable with setting people up to kind of promote some sort of a faceoff. he's got a problem with his 18 e own colleague jake taper. that's who he is talking about. >> so that's his right. he's the moderator. taper is not. this is his ball game. here's my question to you, his justification was, they're not going after each other like that, the gop the republicans had been i guess tapper felt there was much more fodder to ask one or the other. keeper says these dems have been respectful of each other, i don't think i have the am 96 even if i want to do it. >> i don't think anderson cooper has in a solo way to do on a network that has just done the opposite with republicans. cnn followed one tact with republicans, cnn has the responsibility to do the exact same. with democrats. if they want to go oprah with democrats, go oprah with republicans. but here are the words, this is just key here. he said i think talking about the democrats, i think these are all serious people

anderson cooper, you can see where he will be standing. he is the moderator this time around. also dana bash and juan carlos lopez from cnn espanol will be asking questions as well. this is a ballroom in las vegas about 1,300 seats in this room right now. they put seats out overnight. people from the dnc, campaign, cnn, facebook, also the wnn las vegas. a bigger crowd, jaken, than we had at the reagan library. that was about 450. so it could get a little more ruckus this time around. people can submit questions, i mean you the audience through facebook, go to facebook.com/cnn, this screen right here is where they will be read. don lemon will read these questions. you can still post right now by the way. you can post videos. you can post questions. they too will be part of this debate. again, the stage behind me is where it will all happen, jake. pretty interesting as you've been talking about hillary clinton has been doing mock debates with a big-time washington lawyer been at this for years. jeff weaver, bernie sanders campaign manager told me this morning the day they set as

>> well, anderson cooper is not jimmy fallon. someone has to ask the question, how are you going to pay for that? the american people love the candy but also know they're not going to be free. >> the answers on the strip, i was interviewing people today, there are good answers. here's one. how are we going to pay for that? funny thing, we don't ask how much we're going to pay for a war when we start, do we, secretary clinton? you can strike back on that one, pretty tough. it gets the rhetoric right. >> i think he can do this. i think he can say, we're going to raise taxes. i think we'll have a real debate about tax rates in this country. she's for raising some taxes. they can get into a back and forth. i think she has to tell a story about her candidacy, explain why it's not flip-flopping. i saw richard trunk on your show -- >> how do you explain you were for tpp and 35 public appearances and now you've switched? >> i think you say that the game has changed entirely. i think you say, you department know how it was going to wind u

. >> yes, i am headeo and if you have time, you can still see me and -- no, anderson cooper and me at the theater, and we are on tour. >> what are you doing? >> it is like go g ing out to hanging out with anderson and i and having cocktails with u wsle ad s irw ouc dhifathtg. iheeo- he is as open a blooming onion. he is so open in a way that people don't normally see. he is my buddy for three years. >> i know that you are pals. >> and i open him up like a flower. i am open as well. >> are you? >> and the audience interviews us. and it is really fun. it is a couple of hours at the state theater in minneapolis, and tickets available and come out to the hang out with us. >> i would love to hang out with you. and you know who is going to take a break -- yst hesiio herself, and she said that people may need a break from me, and she has been going on in stop withe9uas saha h with her friends and hang out and write her music. but my question is, if she is breaking up with herself, and then i wonder is she going to write a breakup song with herself. and don't you feel like ripping off all ofo

. >> i thought anderson cooper did a good job. he sent disturbing signals about he's going to be too patty cake. but he did a good job. i don't get the weird thing they have people stashed in the back and saying this guy will ask you about pot. you want to talk about reefer? go ahead. >> just the man. john lennon. >> it was a good debate. >> i think i never had a lack of confidence in anderson cooper. he pressed the candidates. i think the reason he wasn't mixing it up is that those democrats did not want to punch in particular at hillary clinton. she's the front runner and likely to get the nomination. and someone was saying they want to be in her cabinet. >> absolutely. the striking moment is going to be played over and over again is bernie sanders riding to the rescue on the e-mail mess and the handshake. the thing that is surprising is that she's kind of reading talking points and kept saying i would be the first woman president. well, what about voting for outsider? well, i will be the first woman president. no. look at me. i

by the wavy thought anderson cooper did an excellent job. in that case they were asking questions.ere giving answers. in our case it was like a reality show. okay. if you want to know the truth. and that's what happened. and, franksly, i liked it. i enjoyed it but it was a very different way of doing the debate. >> certainly different. now, if you just kang with us a next few later bernie goldberg on why the moderators cannot ask questions about isis or planned parenthood. factor is coming right back. beyond the expected and the conviction to be in it for the long term. oppenheimerfunds believes that's the right way to invest... ...in this big, bold, beautiful world. take the zantac it challenge! pill works fast? zantac works in as little as 30 minutes. nexium can take 24 hours. when heartburn strikes, take zantac for faster relief than nexium or your money back. take the zantac it challenge. ♪ nothing artificial. just real roasted turkey. salt. pepper. carved thick. that's the right way to make a good turkey sandwich. the right way to eat it? is however you eat it. panera. food as

anderson cooper asked hillary about that. i don't think anderson went easy on them. >> i think he tried very hard. >> i think he went right at hillary the first question. hats off to you. >> on that one. >> on that one. >> when did becoming a socialist become a good thing? i remember getting into hot water for calling president obama a socialist. last night it seemed to be a democratic badge of honor. first up, bernie sanders suggested we need to be more like some of the socialist countries in europe. >> i think we should look to countries like denmark, like sweden and norway and learn from what they have accomplished for their working people. do i consider myself part of the casino capitalist process? by which so few have so much and so many have so little? by which wall street, greed and recklessness wrecked this economy? no, i don't. i believe in a society where all people do well, not just a handful of billionaires. >> then hillary delivered a line that almost broke my eardrums. >> i think what senator sanders is saying ce

our moderators anderson cooper and dana bash, they are primed to go. they are ready to go.ill handle the facebook questions tonight as well. dana is joining us now. you asked questions during the republican debate that cnn hosted. it's going to be different tonight. there are going to be 5 candidates opposed to 11 candidates. >> it's going to be just in terms of the number, it's going to be more like our undercard debate with four people. it's a lot easier to manage when you just have five people. but this is just going to be something incredibly unique because hillary clinton thought early on, this sounds familiar, that she was going to be coming into this and having to swat down some annoyances her way to the democratic nomination. and it's a lot different now, particularly when it comes to bernie sanders. >> and donald trump is going to be live tweeting during the course of this debate. he said that earlier today. hillary clinton responded, go ahead, it will be huge. >> isn't that amazing? obviously, in our debate and it was must-see tv for a lot of reasons. primarily be

>> man, anderson cooper. he won. lou: really? >> i am a sucker for a guy with glasses. off, that is always fun. lou: i love the 30 second thing. wrap it up in 30 seconds. >> i thought hillary did the job she had to do, reassuring her supporters the people that don't care she is a path logical liar. and you have to remember, lying is not a bad thing in a debate. it is you should lie because it works, the format plays to her strength. lou: you think back to mitt romney saying that russia was a number one geopolitical foe. the and president dismissing him. that was against cnn, dismissing him? andy crowley sides with him on the view, history is made by such lies, it keeps you in the spirit of the things. >> it works, the viewers are not sitting there -- well most are not, with google open, checking fact checking. and the people who do fact check them, people most of the people who watch are not reading those the next day, all that matters is what you say, whether it is true or not attackically -- tactically it does not matter. lou: the one moment jim webb. decorated marine

then, the real anderson cooper . his double. >> this first question is for everyone. >> why he's so upset. >> the only thing he knew about me is that i'm gay. >> and the esidential candidate who got kicked off e quiet car. >>>>here is absolutely no talking on your cell phone. >> plus, oops. hand. >> then, why they're calling this the most dangerous halloween costume ever. >> it is extremely dangerous. >> invnvible to drivers. imagine if your kid wears this on halloween. he disappeared in the dark. and -- >> hi. robin thicke. >> singer robin thicke. was he high and drunk on oprah? >> i didn't do a single interview without being high. >> plus the college student with the longest legs in america. [ music ] >>> w "inside edition" with deborah norville. >> diane: hello everybody, and thanks for joining us. i'm diane mcinerney in today for deborah norville. we are learning more about that whale watching trip that turned into a deadly disaster. five people are dead, and several others injuries after the boat ey were on caps

his sister spoke by phone with anderson cooper. >> i never put it out of my mind.out what he did, and how awful this guy is. >> it was july 4th, 2002. deputy tarsia pulled into the parking lot where the men were parked. in court, the three suspects shared what happened next. sweat, who was hiding under a truck, said the deputy opened fire first. then sweat got to his feet and started firing. one of sweat's bullets hit tarsia in the stomach, reportedly striking his small intestine and a kidney. as the deputy struggled for his gun, sweat jumped into another vehicle and ran over the deputy, dragging him with the car across the parking lot. he was still alive when one of the other suspects then charged out of the woods, picked up the deputy's gun, which he had dropped, and shot him, point blank, twice, in the face. sweat was charged after police found a hand drawn map and sketch of the fireworks store with sweat's fingerprint on it. now sweat was also heading to prison, where he would meet richard matt for the first time, and, other inmates say, quickly become friends.

when they are questioned and 30 seconds if one of the candidates mentions him or her, and then anderson cooper the moderator will have the flexibility to extend the time if need be, and in terms of the strategy, ashleigh, it is sim e simple. for hillary clinton she is the obviously clear front-runner the race, and she cannot make any mistake, and she has not debated since 2008, and she has no make no mistakes. when she arrived, she has to go over to the trump hotel, and started to the fire off on the gop front runder, and she has to make sure that she is not looking past the democratic contenders on the stage tonight. and as for bernie sanders he understands the knock on him insoo inside of the party that he cannot be be perhaps elected president, but he wants to come across presidential and serious. and the others want to have the breakout moment like carly fiorina and marco rubio, because of those breakout moments, it translated to poll numbers. >> yes, they need those moment, because our alisyn camerota did a interview with the straw poll interview there on the et street, and they did not k

." >> definitely the one with anderson cooper way back when, wasn't it. >> no, it's the one from 1950v dinner. tv dinners were much later. >> we're like ozzy and harriet. >> yeah. >> interesting. we'll be right back with the marathon. >>> it's a big day this weekend the new york marathon is on sunday. >> more than 50,000 runners hit the pavement and a marathon champ has fitness advice for everyone. here's trina trinh. >> people get nervous. i was one of those people. >> hard to believe he won last year's boston marathon and was the first american since 1982 to win the new york city marathon in 2009. at 40 years old, he's still going strong. and whether you're a seasoned runner or just working up the nerve for a jog around the blow, he has basic rules for getting the most out of any run. tip one, pace yourself. >> don't go all out. be patient. leave some for the end. you'd rather be passing people than getting passed. >> reporter:tive number two, check your form. >> if you run in the city, if you look by a window look at yourself. take a glimpse and say okay, how is my hand carriage, h

"(anderson cooper/moderator) "secretary clinton, is bernie sanders tough enough on guns?" (hillary clinton/(d) presidential candidate) "no. not at all. i think that we have to look at the fact that we lose 90 people a day from gun violence. this has gone on too long and it's time the entire country stood up against the nra. stephanie: guns were a hot topic at last night's debate-- the democratic candidates showing their differences. stephanie: there's no doubt about it... gun control is a hot button issue. jack: and now there's word of a major lawsuit that could create more tension.. it stems from a jury's decision to hold a wisconsin gun shop liable for the sale of a weapon used to shoot police officers in the face. jack abc's marci gonzalez has more. " " a land-mark lawsuit... quick trial nats? a gun store- found liable in the shooting of these two police officers - that left them physically and emotionally scarred. sot: officer bryan norberg/milwaukee police "i felt like i didn't deserve to live anymore. committing suicide." officers bryan norberg and graham kunish shot

i thought anderson cooper and company did a pretty good job of getting the issues and the questions weresharp. it was a debate. for instance, someone observed -- for instance, when the audience was allowed to ask, does black lives matter, black was never mentioned in the first two republican's debate and african-americans was mentioned only one time. and that was by rand paul. away.learly state the six major issues they dealt with, the republicans, did not do with them at all. if you want to compare the two, it was the debate versus kind of a personal wall street -- wall around trump. juan: i was surprised on how little questioning there was on policy with a candidates, with the exception of iraq and syria, very little to try to elicit the differences between them when it comes to foreign policy. jill? >> yeah, i mean, not only there wasn't much said, but what was said was really pretty uniform. it was all kind of in the mode of the tough guy, american militarist approach to foreign policy. there was no -- you know, there was incredible cognitive disconnect. the middle east is going up i
