almost outliers in the democratic party and i don't know that they necessarily caucus with the clinton team in the end. >> this is what we need to see in the next few months. everyone's presumption is that hillary clinton is going to win one way or the other. that's kind of the correct presumption. the issue to me is whether bernie -- we all call him by his first name. it's not a sign of disrespect. it's a sign of affection. to me the question is whether bernie is going to be attracting 5% under 10% of democratic voters and caucus goers, or whether he'll get up above 20 and 30% and have much more powerful presence and become really perhaps a threat to her in certain places. there is no way of knowing that yesterday. he's obviously being considered seriously by a hundred thousand people out there who participate in democratic party politics. and it's a good base. it's a good starting point. he's doing better now than martin o'malley. so that's something. >> eugene corn -- how about that. in another universe. david corn and eugene robinson thank you so much for your time. >>> coming up, we'll

more important for the clinton team i am hearing something from democrats when bill clinton was presidente scandal after another scandal, the more scandals he got mired in and the more he got away with the more they liked him. they said, you know what he may be bad. he may not be a good person but he's our guy and he always beats those republicans and if you beat republican, you got to be a little corrupt. you got to be a little dirty, a little tough. you got to play dirty because they're such dirty low life scum backs. i heard that a lot in '99 and 2000. >> cynical. >> it's extraordinarily cynical. they go over the line sometimes. but there are worse once. they have affection for her policy position. they are glad she has moved to the left. this is not someone they think is going to remake walk. there is no love affair for her the way there was for president obama for instance. but they don't think elizabeth warren can beat her. they don't think any other democrat can hold the white house. >> elizabeth warren may feel good. she doesn't have what hillary clinton has, hillary is tough. the

today's e-mails also show how concerned clinton's team was about how she would be about how she would be portrayed and the political fallout from misleading administration talking points immediately after the attack. in one e-mail, deputy chief of staff jake sullivan writes, you never said spontaneous or characterized the motives. in fact, you were careful in your first statement to say we were assessing motive and method. >> do you have a perception problem? many americans don't believe that you told the truth on benghazi? >> i'm going to let the americans decide that. thank you all very much. >> reporter: clinton has agreed to testify again to congress. but the republican committee chairman said today he still doesn't have all the facts because he says the clinton e-mails were vetted by clinton and her lawyers before they were released. lester? >> andrea mitchell in new hampshire, thank you. >>> now to a story we're watching develop in ireland, a country with socially conservative roman catholic roots on the verge of becoming the first country to legalize same-sex marriage by way of

>> i think the clinton team is worried about this book.ry lines in the book that can be individual investigations by fox or the "new york times" or the "wall street journal." they think one comprehensive answer on the website they think will help them. they will hear us talking about what the foundation did in terms of its influence around the world. what donors from the foundation were seeking in terms of influence through the secretary of state and the current president. and they are going to wonder why there is an email server with no emails left before and a candidate who doesn't want top talk about this at the microphone. bill: let me talk about those numbers in a moment. did bill clinton help matters yesterday or was that a throwback osha setback. >> he's one of the best communicators on the planet. at his worst he's self-it yig and out of touch and that was him at his worst. he's basically creating the impression unless he's doing these speeches for half a million a pop that his lights will go out in his little shack live something

about it david axelrod said she should be answering these questions. >> the e-mails between the clinton team when they found out you were moving from the white house to their campaign. i want to ask you one last question. in the press business one of the things you try to do is very bad news on a weekend. i can understand if it was a hillary campaign trying to do this and things were federal employees including two navy s.e.a.l.s that died in gauze sdplee. i don't think it was the wisest thing to do on memorial day. account american people trust the state department which is supposed to work for all of us is not just trying to help hillary clinton here by burying this on a weekend? i think that's an outrage from a professional standpoint, that is not acceptable. >> as a reporter it's hard to prove that's exactly what to do. the timing is unmistakable that it's happening right before the weekend. it's clearly something -- news stuff happens, as you know friday before a big holiday weekend. the other point i would make is what happened thursday night, last night. the clinton foundation reveale

that leaked the documents to "the new york times," as many people have suggested, but rather the clinton teamo lessen the impact. there's no way to blunt the impact rather than dumping them out on a friday as you well know. >> on a friday on memorial day weekend. >> you bet. >> what was it like as a reporter to spend friday plowing through these e-mails? >> well it was tough. you had 296 e-mails to try and get through. they were released at 12:30 p.m. sharp on friday. eastern time. and so you had all of these reporters, hundreds of reporters assaulting this website trying to get at them and trying to discern a little interesting nugget. >> you make it sound like the landing at normandy. >> well the pressure was on for sure. another interesting fact is that as i on friday was uploading nuggets that i was taking out of the documents occasionally on twitter, you even had interaction between reporters. i was the first to break the fact that the documents revealed that three days after the benghazi attack hillary clinton slept through an appointment where she was supposed to receive the president'

the clinton team is putting focus on iowa after a poor showing in the caucuses in 2008 when she finished third. >>> and as it was for jeb bush the iraq war question is troublesome for some candidates. this time it is marco rubio. he had a feisty exchange with chris wallace of fox news. he had trouble positioning his decision on the iraq war a mistake. >> it was not a mistake. this is the way the real world works. the president based on the information provided. look -- >> he was saying based on what we know now. >> based on what we know now, i would not thought manny pacquiao would not win a couple weeks ago. >> you why asked the same question. >> it was not the same question. the question was whether it was a mistake. i still say it was not a mistake. the president was presented with intelligence that said iraq had weapons of mass destruction and committed by a man with atrocities in the past. >> the question was it a mistake to go to war in iraq. >> that's not the same question. the question i was asked is what i know now. based on what we know now. >> was it a mistake to go to war wit

the obama/clinton team, they don't understand that peace comes through strength.

[ cheers and applause ] as you've seen, commander in chief is not an entry level position. and the white house is the last place for on the job training. it's critical that both our allies and our friends know what to expect from our next president. last month, i was featured in an online magazine. that's usually a good thing. but in this case, the online magazine was the magazine of the islamic state isis. under the headline, in the words of our enemy was my picture and a quote. after 12 years of legislating and warning about the gathering storm of radical islam they know who i am, and i know who they are.

the clinton team putting focus on iowa. here in the caucuses in 2008. >> quick, mason city. which county? >> i don't know which county. >> saratoga county. >>> let's see what is happening on "new day." >> that's not unfair. john berman you are the champion. >> it was not a question on "jeopardy." >> the question for me is where is iowa? good to see both of you. we have the latest on amtrak six days after the deadly train derailment. the first train rolled out of penn station. the issue of safety remains. the question is whether train 188 and the horrible crash is a turning point or not. we are tracking those responsible for training rchange. we have a key lawmaker on today. >>> the key issue is what amtrak did with the track and what the fbi says about the possibility something hit the train's windshield. is it relevant or true? >>> abroad a key city has fallen to isis. does that mean the coalition is losing the war? this as a top isis commander killed in a raid in syria. does this matter? is this a big deal? we will debate

the clinton team is on the defensive as this clinton cash is coming out. >> it's been weeks and hypep to the book. today is the day it's out there. they are trying to debunk the book. they put out this video today aimed at that iranian one deal we heard involving russia. brian fallon her campaign spokesman says this. >> this guy wants you to believe president clinton made money on a series of speeches he wasn't personally paid for. the author makes false claims about hillary's record in the senate. i guess he is hoping nobody heard of the senate.gov. >> they are jumping on the fact the author peter schweizer admitted some of the speeches were not paid but it's not exactly correct to say he wasn't paid. there were whole series of speeches where he was paid. that was a potential conflict of interest because remember at the beginning of the obama administration the white house didn't want those kinds of speeches conflicting with business. >> they signed and agreement saying they wouldn't do just that. yesterday bill clinton said he had to find a way to pay the bills, which some people t

clinton cash", who today said he likes marco rubio. i wonder how much does that further the chatter, especially from team clinton, that this book is a partisangot some interesting e-mails. not just from team clinton, but from some jeb bush people who have noticed that he said he spent the last four months looking into jeb bush's private business deals. so that's kind of an interesting dynamic, too. but yeah there's a lot of interest in that stuff. one of the other things that he said to me was he blamed the clinton folks for leaking all the advanced copies and details of the reporting so that it would have less than a bang. the book is kind of old news on the day that it comes out, which is an interesting thing. but i do think we're -- >> wait do you think as a reporter that's true, glen? because i feel like after those -- if they were leaks, the look has had a lot of legs in terms of a discussion point at least. when we talk about analysis of the 2016 race and how it's shaping up. >> oh i think it has a ton of legs. i don't think we got our copies from there. i think we got them from bookstore bookstores. >> downloaded them illegally on the

they were smeared and slandered by the clinton team. did ever stand up and say stop doing that?he resurface something >> i talked to her today. she did an interview. i asked her to come on the program. >> isn't it time to bury that and focus other scandals involving hillary? >> i just -- >> there is a generation that don't know this. >> she stayed married to him by the way. the clintons have more baggage than a cargo plane. and this e mail is just the tip of the iceberg. and we don't know. but there are too many stories out there. >> orgy island. >> we got it. >> well you know juanita roberts i interviewed her. she may come out. there are a lot of women. >> that is true. is there a pattern of deception here? there is. no matter what issue you look at with hillary clinton, standing beside her man while he did abominable things or her e mails server lack of transparency there is a pattern of deception. she didn't disclose the truth. and so she isn't who she claims to represent. >> sean does character matter? people didn't hold president clinton accountable. so would this hurt her?

they were smeared and slandered and besmirched by the clinton team. and say, stop doing this to these women? >> why is she resurfacing. >> i talked to her today. she was asked to do an interview. i asked her to come on this program. >> isn't it time to bury that let's focus on the other scandals that involve hillary? i'm not sure -- >> should we forget this side of it? there's a whole generation that don't know this. >> you can't forget. she stayed married to him, by the way. the clintons have more baggage than a cargo plane. this e-mail scandal is just the tip of the iceberg. when you look at bill clinton, we have no idea what's going to come out in regards to the fantasy island. the sex scandal issue going on with him. there are too many stories out there. >> let's make sure we get our islands right here. >> same island. >> juanita broderick, she may come out. there are a lot of women. >> there's two questions. one is there a pattern of deception here. i think there absolutely is. whether you're talking about hillary clinton standing by her man, or

the clinton team obviously decided the stage is her campaign. she doesn't need to do that. she's well known. she doesn't need to answer a lot of reporters' questions. most candidates are hungry for reporters' questions and attention because that's the attention they need. she doesn't need either of those things. she can go indefinitely. it may start to hurt her but it doesn't seem to have hurt her much. >> two democrats have entered the race against hillary clinton this week. that's senator martin -- rather senator bernie sanders of vermont and former governor martin o'malley of maryland. here was o'malley in his announcement yesterday, his only mention of hillary clinton. >> the ceo of goldman sachs let his employees know he'd be just fine with either bush or clinton. well, i've got news for the bullies of wall street. the presidency is not a crown to be passed back and forth by you, between two royal families. >> again, that was the only comment about hillary clinton in his announcement yesterday. julie, what are your democratic sources, both in and outside of the white h

after her press team started moving all the media cameras back from the area where mrs. clintond be interacting with some students one brave fox producer slipped through the lines and secretly recorded what was happening. watch. >> oh wow. i love this. line up everybody. come around. turn around. get a picture. >> while you see campaign photographers, no media were there to see the candidate actually laughing with students. any one of them could have blurted out a question at any moment about e-mails or foreign donors or some other issue the campaign has been desperately trying to avoid. earlier tonight, i spoke with dana perino about it she's the former white house spokeswoman under george w. bush. she's co-host of "the 5" and author of the new "the new york times" bestselling book "and the good news is." >> thank you. >> they put it to her. >> you know what, you captured the most authentic moment of her campaign so far. i mean she really should send you a note of thanks. >> but terrifying because that too, the cameras had to be pushed away from. she didn't know it was going to

. >> other e-mails show concern by clinton's team about the political fallout from misleading talkingstration right after the attacks. >> let's head to florida where crews are battling this massive brushfire near palm bay. it's already burned more than 150 acres. this was the scene along i-95. officials say crews got the fire under control at first but it grew quickly because of strong winds and dry air that fanned the flames. fire is now said to be 75% contained. there have been no reports of any injuries. >> emergency crews from several states are in wichita falls, texas today, ready to rescue people and property from flooding. thunderstorms produced heavy rain yesterday. more rain is expected this weekend. pumps are being used to force water away from neighborhoods. officials say there could be more evacuations and power outages in areas affected by the flooding. >> now your nbc 10 first alert weather with meteorologist brittany shipp. >> good morning. we'll see a chilly start, especially in the poconos. by the afternoon, temperatures will be a little below average but we're changi

is there a real sense of credibility to this book in any way at all, seeing that the clinton team hasbsite and twitter entirely devoted to pushing back on this book? i mean clearly they think the book might have an impact and they want to clear the deck as often as possible. what do you make of this? >> well believe at media matters, every chart that's put out there needs to be answered. the answer here is not only media matters, but independent media outlets that are cited by the campaign looked into this and what did they find? they found quotes that were doctored and they found, you know chronologies that don't match up and they found the author falsely saying that the secretary of state had powers that she didn't have and he admitted that today to politico and an allegation that's based on a phony hoax press release widely known as a hoax. so that's what you have here. and it's important that that get out. >> interesting story last week that the koch brothers funded an organization that was setting up clinics to teach spanish-speaking folks, whether they're documented or undocumen

obviously has a very big uphill battle against hillary clinton, but we are told by many folks that teams taking his candidacy seriously. so what does grn o'malley need to governor o'malley need to do to be a serious challenger? >> cal thomas and former indiana seven evan bayh are here. thank you for joining us. cal, we know the former governor is looking to take a more progressive stance than hillary. do you think that's what the country wants? >> no i don't think that's what the country wants but i think it's what the democratic party wants. he's a pretty consistent liberal. he was for same-sex marriage at the beginning. he is for higher taxes and more spending. he was against the iraq war. hillary clinton was for the iraq war and voted for it when she was a senator before she was against it. she was against same-sex marriage but now says she is for it. so i think martin o'malley has a far more consistent record that is appealing to progressives on the democratic left. you asked is the country ready for it? martin o'maly has a record as mayor of baltimore. he was applauded for trying t

i think he wants to be part of the clinton team. so it's going to be difficult. he has got to criticize her but not too much. i think that seasoneders is the one that democrats look at him. he's pure. he's always about the issues. he would like to be president but it's not about personal ambition. i think he will do well in new hampshire. people who vote for bernie sanders will be voting for hillary clinton. >> he's the only candidate in the democratic field who is actually willing to go after hillary clinton but the point, the knock on o'malley is nobody knows who he is. they believe once he gets out there and give mrs. speeches he helped himself a lot by firing up the base. if he does more of that the hope that the campaign team is making is that people will like him a lot more. someone who can actually win and draw a generational contrast. someone who has the resume. to steve's point, i think the 2010 election is going to matter more. >> i wonder though like the idea of firing up the base coming at hillary from the left. it feels to me like -- how are you goin

himself, probably not as rich as the clintons, but it will be interesting to see what the clinton opposition research teamoes, the people who come after her for being out of touch, for being so wealthy. they have already started going back on jeb bush, but i will be interested to see if they do any damage. fiorina is quite rich, not seeing any allies going after her, but i expect that is coming. al: if they hit 4% or 5% in the polls, it will come. mark: another thing he talked about was 9/11. he was governor when that tragedy occurred. he talked about how that experience shaped his views on foreign policy. george pataki: i saw up close the results of too many believing that radical islam was far away, that we were safe in america. i will never forget the lesson of september 11. we will destroy radical islam's ability to attack us over there before they have the chance to attack us here. mark: obviously 9/11 is still a pretty big touchstone. al: i want to say something nice about george pataki. he's a good guy, but this one does not cut, either. rudy giuliani was the one most identified with 9/11, and if i

i think what these emails show is that clinton camp, the clinton team and the state department looked just wreaks of politics. they were very concerned about how it would shape obama before the presidential election. they were very concerned about how hillary clinton looked herself and i think they helped politicize the benghazi terror attack at least that's what i think these emails showed. >> here is one email. excerpt about government sources told reuters that abu khatallah being investigated as suspect in benghazi consulate attacks. that came out in the documents. what do you make of that? >> it's very strange for her to have that information and then later three months later at her hearing on capitol hill she sort of spun a different scenario. well what if some guys were just out walking for, you know for a walk and they decided to turn on the u.s. embassy? what difference does it make? it's strange to buy her version of events and suggests perhaps that she is partnershipping, that she politicized the situation trying to spin alternate scenarios that would perhaps make her look g

republicans really picking up on saying not only are these e-mails that have been -- that the clinton teamitted to the state department they are going to say even the ones that went to the state department are unnecessarily redacted and we're not going to be able to see really a transparent look at what's going on at the state department today. >> carrie thank you. want to come back here quickly, joy. this is something i struggle with from time to time. is this one of those stories that we care about a lot and john q six pack in middle america, where they could care less about or a larger story about why the clintons shouldn'ting trusted? >> there are three groups that care republicans who really do want to find some wrong doing that hillary clinton was connected to regarding benghazi it is a fetish of the right wing base. they care about this and republican voters may care about this. it gives one more reason to dislike hillary but they weren't going to vote for her any way. john q. public most people don't care too much about this the idea of a person in government having a personal e-ma

the obama/clinton team they don't understand that peace comes through strength. [ cheers and applause ] but what i see are heroic veterans dying, waiting in line at the v.a. because these very same leaders don't care enough to give them what they've earned the best medical care in the world. i say, join me take back america and help these veterans. . and the white house is the last place for on-the-job training. it's critical that both our allies and our friends know what to expect from our next president. last month i was featured in an online magazine. that's usually a good thing. but in this case the online magazine was the magazine of the islamic state, isis. under the headline "in the words of our enemy" was my picture and a quote. after 12 years of legislating and warning about the gathering storm of radical islam, they know who i am and i know who they are.

these are the e-mails that clinton and her team reviewed and handed over to the state department and now we finally get to see what some of them say. >> i have said repeatedly i want those e-mails out. >> reporter: and now the state department will release the first batch, some 850 pages.

hillary clinton slams her republican presidential rivals both declared and undeclared on the issue of immigration reform why our first read teamn's immigration policy a trap. the democratic national committee is under fire today after announcing that it will hold just six presidential primary debates, starting this fall. some complain that it's not enough and that the dnc is favoring clinton over other candidates. >>> and senate majority leader mitch mcconnell moves against members of his own party, including one presidential candidate when it comes to a nuclear deal with iran. let's get right to it mark murray mark what is the trap? >> well the trap you know essentially what hillary clinton by going very big on immigration, saying she would support executive actions beyond what president obama ended up proposing is a win-win situation for her because on the one hand it allows her to go left on immigration and really please a lot of latino advocates, as you are going for the democratic primary nomination and also it's a win for her because immigration is an issue that seems to always divide republicans. when the subject turns

i think the problem is i understand why when the clinton team looks at the polls they say, hey, what a target every day and i don't know that they figured out how to deal with that. she's a target from republican candidates and also a target as a result of this unfolding story about the whole clinton foundation money world. and so a lot of articles coming up that essentially they either have decided we don't have to respond to because that's kind of baked into the polling numbers, and so i'm not sure -- i really -- i think they have a tough set of choices about how to handle all this. >> let's get to one other headline. the islamic state is celebrating a major victory in iraq while dealing with a set back in syria. isis is now in complete control of ramadi, which is located about 70 miles from baghdad. government forces fled following days of intense fighting. the u.s.-led coalition also launched air strikes in an unsuccessful bid to prevent ramadi from falling. this is being called the biggest victory for isis so far this year. but in syria a key leader of isis is dead and his wife

no defense of the clintons so the interview has to be remembered in that context but the questions he asked of schweitzer in the interview sounded very much like what we heard from team clinton in defending the book and, indeed his interview wound up getting put in an ad that hillary clinton put together after the interview. >> no it is amazing. look. if you remember when this book came out, the clinton campaign talking points were peter schweitzer has no evidence. that phrase. no evidence. and i remember when we were on talking about it when it first came on you said that's a weak defense. if you look at his interview, almost every time he spoke he used some version of the phrase no evidence. there's no evidence that hillary clinton went directly to this decision. the clintons say you have produced no evidence. we have no evidence of government action. he was echoing the clinton campaign's talking points for debunking schweitzer's book. i think, quite frankly, with his history of a paid operative for bill and hillary clinton, he should not have been doing that interview in the first place and as howie said it's questionable to cover the clinton campaign. >> abc news
