the clinton folks used to say during bill clinton's campaign you are explaining, you are losing and she has been on the explaining side and not explaining very well so today her campaign begins and her chance to beat whatever the attacks are against her with an actual campaign that has a message. we will see whether those where those polls are in about a month after she has had a chance to -- >> schieffer: what about this charge he made that she paid her women staffers less than she was paying her men staffers on capitol hill? that caught me by surprise, i will admit that. >> i believe if, because you can check with the male and female staffers were paid, it is all public record that can be figured out. i don't know if he is right, but it is something that can be -- it is not a mystery. those numbers are public. >> schieffer: has anybody does anybody else have any -- i thought that was pretty interesting. >> there are some stories suggesting this in the past. >> yes there have. >> now peggy, let's talk about this, jeb bush has a new video out in light of hillary clinton entering the cam

us tonight, folks. thanks for watching. hillary clinton has broken her silence on the transpacific partnership. her spokesperson nick merrill e-mailed this statement to "the ed show" just moments ago and it reads. hillary clinton believes that any new trade measure has to pass two tests. first, it should put us in a position to protect american workers, raise wages, and create more jobs more good jobs at home. second, it must also strengthen our national security. we should be willing to walk away from any outcome that falls short of these tests. the goal is greater prosperity and security for american families not trade, for trade's sake. she will be watching closely to see what is being done to crack down on currency manipulation. improve labor rights. protect the environment and health. promote transparency and open new opportunities for our small businesses to export overseas. end of statement. mrs. clinton, respectfully and your staff, this statement is generic political speak, and it is a complete dodge of the issue at the 11th hour. these are not the words of a champion at this time. thi

us tonight, folks. thanks for watching. hillary clinton's reputation or position as the 2016 front-runner might be fading a little bidt. a new poll out today in key swing states doesn't look good for hillary clinton. in iowa, rand paul has polled ahead of hillary clinton by one point. in virginia, she's in good shape. her lead has slipped to four points. in colorado, rand paul has a three-point lead on hillary clinton. if clinton wants to fix these numbers early on she needs to start talking about the issues when it comes to middle class americans and what they care about. hillary clinton, i think, has deliberately remained silent squeezing out the potential of the competition because of the money. but at this point we don't know where hillary clinton stands on the keystone xl pipeline. we don't know where she stands on the trans-pacific partnership. many people think she's too friendly with wall street. would she really implement it again? we don't know if she would break up the big banks. we don't know if she wants to reinstate glass steag

. >>> since hillary clinton offered what lanny davis just told us was just an introduction on sunday, some folksome out swinging including former hewlett-packard ceo carly fiorina who hit hillary clinton on her record. this earned fiorina this response from folks at a left-leaning cable network today. >> you have an amazing round of accomplishments in your life, but someone could say it like this. you ran for senate and lost. you worked for john mccain. you were moved off that campaign and he lost. you had a tenure at hewlett-packard that a lot of people describe as extremely rocky destroying jobs and destroying the company's reputation. are you really the right person to be criticizeing hillary clinton's accomplishments or lack thereof? >> well, you've clearly been reading the democratic talking points. >> she said she'd been reading "fortune" and "the new york times." earlier i spoke with carly fiorina fiorina, potential 2016 republican presidential contender. thank you for being here. so, was i republican presidential contender. >> this was exposure to the but left-leaning media. but who do y

using personal e-mail address for personal business. she basically never responded. these of course are far from the story clinton folksyone talking about as her campaign rolls out. her first plan visit to iowa seemed far more scripted and staged than what you usually see in terms of retail politics in that date. >> i want to be the champion who goes to bat for americans. we need to build the economy of tomorrow not yesterday. we need to build families and communities that's where it all starts. we need to fix the dysfunction al system and get money out of it once and for all. >> the fact is she doesn't want the publicity. this is the big thing a lot of the mainstream media is missing. this is the only strategy they could employ. >> day one on the campaign trail in iowa left a lot more questions than answers. reporters far out numbered the hand picked by the campaign to be part of her event. the reporters were kept back and able to ask the kind of typical questions you see in the early days in iowa. >> speaking of that and the questions or lack there of has hillary taken questions from the media and is there plans to d

clinton returns to iowa. >> thanks for saying hello. >>> good to have you with us tonight, folks. thanks for watching. marco rubio has become the third republican to announce he's running for president. quite the inexperienced field. the 43-year-old freshman senator out of florida immediately said hey, wait a minute i've got more experience than barack obama did back in 2008. >> there's a difference between barack obama and i, and i think our histories are much different. i served in local government. i served at state government for nine years. i was the speaker of the florida house. all of that before i even got to washington four and a half years ago. by the time i swear in as president in 2017 i'll have served a full term in the senate including extensive work on the foreign relations committee, on the select intelligence committee. so there are some significant differences in terms of experience and background between where i am today and where then senator obama was when he was elected. >> what spin that is. every republican in the race right now has a few things in common. they are all first-te

us tonight, folks. thanks for watching. just back from iowa. we start this evening with hillary clinton on the campaign trail. today marked hillary's second day of campaigning in the state of iowa. she visited with people in a coffee shop. then she met with small business owners at a fruit-packing facility in norwalk just outside des moines. i was also on the ground in norwalk today. and it became clear to me that hillary clinton has got some work to do with iowa voters. >> so hillary's in town. you got a smile on your face for that? >> not really. >> are you a hillary fan? >> no. >> you're not? >> okay. what do you think of her? >> not much. she's a liberal. and i'm not going to vote for her. >> no way you'd ever vote for her? >> no. >> there's nothing she can say that would change your mind in any way? >> nope. >> are you following her campaign at all? >> i have seen stuff, like on social media. i read what's said. and what's in the papers. but that's about it. >> is it party or is it person? >> both. i don't think that she is good for the country. she actually says she fights for women and families but i t

folks have really, really fought for us and look how we're treating them. that's not right. that's not fair. something has to get done. >> okay. 2016 -- presidential race. who is in? hillary clinton with the democrats, senators marco rubio, rand paul, and ted cruz with the republicans. hillary clinton went to a chipotle, and it was almost like, "oh, my god. she's at a chipotle." she actually stopped in central pennsylvania, in clinton county, of all counties... >> gee, we're shocked. >> ...to take some photographs with some folks. what do you guys think about this? >> i think whoever manages these people really should have -- a lot of money should be paid to them. i remember when mitt romney came here in 2012 -- and i supported romney -- i heard he was going to a wawa. i knew what was gonna happen. the touch screen, which had been in there for 10 years -- he talked about it endlessly and he kept on calling it "wawa's" -- one single wawa. >> yeah. yeah. >> this is what these people that are out of touch -- mrs. clinton hasn't driven, i think, in 20 years. stuff like this, matt, democrat or republican -- if they're out of touch, this is gonna create difficulty for them. >> that's w

she's -- she's serving a very useful purpose in making sure that the democratic agenda is inclusive of the working class and middle class folks. i will say that hillary clinton has spoken very strongly about income inequality the wage gap, pay equity for women and i think now that she's going to become an official candidate, you'll see more discussion from her on those things. >> there's a lot of talk about julian castro your twin brother, being a potential running mate on the ticket -- >> of course if you ask me i would put him on but i'm saying that as a brother. no i think my brother would be great at whatever he does. but he's focused on doing a great job at hud. >> of course he is the hud secretary, but a rising star as are you. >> thank you. >> we thank you for being with us here at the latin american summit. we'll have more from panama coming up and for now, let's send it back to kristen welker in d.c. for the other news making headlines today. >> andrea thanks great conversation about panama and 2016. we want to look now at the other big story we're following at this hour in illinois search crews are looking for any possible survivors of last night's

folks here. i want to be clear about what's covered by the mou and what's not. okay? >> all right. >> will this controversy rock the clinton campaign david cantonese and david diamond joins us. i'm sympathetic to the spokesperson for the white house and state department. every news organization would love to talk to her. so far we've heard nothing. >> sure, no. this is what happens when you have two people who competed against each other for a nomination and you make one of them your top diplomat. you have to give her a lot of latitude at that agency. it almost sounds like the administration, the rest of the obama administration didn't have a very good handle. they essentially let her freelance over there with the clinton global initiative happening out there. now all of it is coming back on them. yeah, you heard from both of spokes people they're struggling to catch up with this story. >> if there is an innocent explanation, no one is getting it and a dodge by the white house where you have josh earnst who won't even answer a very direct question that calls for yes or no answer. if you were in the courtroom i would ask the judge to please direct the witness to answer. it's

the people, whether it is jeb bush or hillary clinton and so forth -- these folks, to me, are really uninspiring. host: we go next to wreck joining us from spokane washington, democrats line. are you with us? we will try one more time. rick: i am here. am i on the air? host: you sure are. rick: i am going to support hillary in the democratic primaries. we do not need a reactionary president. let's face it, the republicans only want to help the rich. they do not really need it. it started back in the reagan years. all of the deregulation and everything, he said, get the government off of the backs of the people. if you could read between the lines, what he really meant was get government off the backs of the companies. i do want the government to be the biggest kid on the block because at least we have some public control. host: from fort worth texas line for independence, edward. edward: i am disappointed in republicans because they are bending the constitution to their favor. people can say what they want about the clintons, but president clinton was the last president to balance the budget. i personally like the green party, becau

clinton problems in her campaign of 2008. >> let me bring you back into that because you talked about humor, her wit, things that need to be conveyed. that her folks will try to use to their advantage, and in these small settings do you see that they'll be beneficial to her or will it continue on with a message of being too much of a control freak, so much of cooling the message too much of controlling the image. >> every campaign has the right, especially in the early bay days of the rollout to control their message. we criticize that in the media, when she does small tightly controlled events. so if she's going to get a tough question it's going to come from somebody who's relatively sympathetic sympathetic. the challenge becomes hen the people of iowa, the people of new hampshire, they actually take the process quite seriously. the test of hillary clinton is is she ready to get in the room? she was an accomplished attorney before she became bill clinton's spouse. and do a town hall where not only do you know there are critics in the room but now know your political opponents have much three, four five people in the room to stand up and throw it high and tight.

folks to be in the white house and that's something that's going to require her talking about issues. >> so hillary, just talking about female voters, do you think the clinton campaign may run the risk of usingr card too much trying to appeal to women too much and turning off women who may feel patronized. >> i agree with ana that i think experience and policy come first and i think there hillary clinton is going to have an advantage over any member of that republican primary today. we've got three first-term senators and, you know, one guy who was governor a very long time ago, not in public life for a long time, so i think when you look at the breadth and diversity of hillary clinton's experience, first time i've done that in two days, that, you know, she is going to win based on her experience, policy and issues. her life experience, though, is about being a woman and a mom and now a grandmother and having sat at the table with families, looking at those kitchen table issues, and that is going to be a part not just of what people reflect back to her but of who she is and always has been. this is no rebranding. this is really just hillary clinton as she cares about those middle-class voter

used the least restrictive means in order to do this. this is what was embodied in the law signed by president clinton and on the statute of 19 or 20 states. >> just tell the folks hobby lobby thing and how it came out just briefly. >> well, the hobby lobby said hobby lobby was a privately held company and the owners were being forced to violate their religious liberty by providing contraception that they believed was abortion drugs, abortion causing drugs the day after pill the day after pill and as a result the supreme court upheld the right of this privately held company to do that. >> not to violate the religious dictates of its owners. >> so look, we will let the court solve whatever problem comes before them. but this is going to be a political issue for the republican party. >> sure, it is. >> because the democrats sense blood here. and you saw backtracking in indiana on governor pence's part governor hutchison in arkansas said today he is not going to sign a similar piece of legislation until, you know, it's clearly defined about what can and can't happen. i have no beef with either governor, by the way. but i do have a beef with the media primarily beca

us tonight, folks. thanks for watching. did you hear that comment from rand paul? there just a lot of stuff there. he's out with his campaign strategy. he plans to relentlessly attack hillary clinton. here we go. minutes after his campaign announcement yesterday, rand paul sat down with "politico." he immediately attacked hillary clinton over the use of her private e-mail. >> i think clearly hillary clinton by all appearances seemed to be evading the law. she's asking us to trust us that she sorted out government from nongovernment e-mail after she didn't obey the rules to begin with. you need to trust me even though i broke the rules and maybe the law to begin with. and i just destroyed the server so you really have to trust me. i think a lot of americans are going to say that doesn't pass the smell test. >> if you're keeping score between rand paul and ted cruz, he's out front as far as bashing the clinton. the senator hinted there's plenty of material he could use to go after hillary clinton. >> when you combine that with the shenanigans that have been going on at the clinton foundation and this trail of money that's going round about to government to foundations to bill clinto

she" -- referring to hillary clinton -- "believes we have to force people who don't have health insurance to buy it. i don't see those folks -- and i think it is important for us to recognize that if you're going to mandate the purchase of insurance an it is not affordable then there's going to have to be some enforcement mechanism that government uses." "and they may charge people who don't already have health care fines or have to take it out of their paychecks and that, i don't think is helping those without health insurance." so mr. president my amendment that would offer to pay for this bill would repeal the mandate that then-senator obama candidate for president was so critical of. it would repeal a tax on the american people that coerces our citizens into purchasing health care that they apparently don't want or they wouldn't otherwise buy but for the government -- th you don't buy the government-approved care, even if you don't want what it provides then we're going to coerce you into doing it, we're going to penalize you for it. this mandate is bad for america and it hurts people, instead of giving them the helping hand they need when it comes to heal

critics do the only reason folks are done eighting to the clinton foundation is to buy access and influence? >> i think you're dealing with people around the world who are used to having situations like this set up in other countries and i think they just made a sumn assumption perhaps this was a good thing to do. >> is there a danger if they continue a nonstop bashing of hillary clinton like we saw last week at the summit in your own home state of new hampshire that it may backfire in the long run with voters who just really want to hear new ideas that these candidates want -- what they should be bringing to the table in order to move the country forward? >> the republican candidates are putting out new ideas. they're talking about how to make government smaller. they're trying to deal with the mess of obamacare. they're talking about rebuilding america's defense. they're talking about problems in national security. they've pointed out the serious issues in countries like syria, iraq and so on across the globe. the disaster in yemen. and the republicans are talking about fixing those problems. frankly, every time they start talking about it somebody in the

clinton folks at some point before april 20th? >> absolutely craig. and i am now hearing the lease was signed wednesday, two days ago. that gives us 13 days from now.er that they had been eyeing the 13th next monday for a launch date but that was before marco rubio came out and said he was doing a presidential launch that day. we will see if that changes timing. they definitely have had several days in mind and you know very closely held secret inside the campaign. they're not even telling a lot of people on the volunteer staff when it is going to be, but without a doubt i think we're going to see it before that deadline and presumably soon. could come this next -- not this weekend but could come the next weekend or the week following that. >> let's talk about what that announcement could look like because, you know several years ago when folks decided they want to run for president they stood in front of a podium at some hotel, flanked by supporters and people who had written the largest checks so far, but so far it seems we've seen announcements on youtube, facebook pages, tweets and can we expect to see a similar style announcement from hillary

us now, former senior adviser to president bill clinton and democratic strategist and also a republican strategist in the firm capital strategies p.r. richard, i just said there are indications from our senate folks there may be a deal that would put a vote some time next week. barring that these thing haves a tendency to fall through. you think this has gone on an inexcusabley long time. >> the unfortunate part is the american people have been waiting to have this woman confirmed, a career prosecutor an african-american woman who has been waiting for the longest time since seven attorney generals combined. and for absolutely no good reason. i mean the republicans are blocking her without any reason whatsoever. >> technically speaking the democrats are blocking a vote on a human trafficking bill because there is abortion language in that bill. democrats aren't allowing that vote the loretta lynch vote would have to come after. is this a fight worth having for the republicans? rudy giuliani who thinks president obama doesn't love america, giuliani loves loretta lynch. he calls her an extraordinary pick to be attorney general. so why not have the vote? >> look mitch mcconnell is well within his rig

clinton. she unifyies the party, she allows us to raise a lot of money and recruit a lot of volunteers. >> with the timing of this, with marco rubio expected to announce on monday a lot of folkst's an opportunity for him to say look how much different i am than her and capitalize on the spotlight that other news organization that maybe don't cover politics are going to be covering it during this time period. >> i mean, marco rubio's a good contrast and great face for the republican party. no question. but just going back again, hillary clinton doesn't want any press. she'll get her press tomorrow, but look, she's announcing on a sunday afternoon via twitter in a short video. she's not looking for the spotlight. she doesn't want it. she wants to freeze the field and move on and receive the democrat nomination without any pomp or circumstance. that's what's going on here. she wants to raise money and move on. she doesn't, she was looking for the spotlight, she'd go get it and fill a stadium. she doesn't want it. i think she is a pretty flawed candidate. she's a big name and the it's sort of surprising, but if you look at the polling and look at what americans think of hillary c
