the republicans won democratic seats and swung democratic seats in 2012. that is a fundamental of politics. it does not mean republicans are worse. it doesn't mean we like hillary clinton. that is a reality. no, it is point is interesting you say republicans have coalesced around donald trump in that the last two presidents, republican presidents of the united states have not endorsed in significantly. he is getting criticism from high profile writers and , so, to just dismiss this and say the republicans have coalesced, trump is getting 80% of republicans. he needs to get 90% to 92%. he may get there. we are not prejudging it one way or the other. we are looking at what the data say. in terms of the democrats, of course they are divided. we have not brought it up because it has not come up. it does not mean we are ignoring it or intentionally avoiding appeared i am glad you brought it up. the democrats are divided at the moment and it is keeping hillary clinton's ballot test down. 'f you as bernie sanders supporters who are they going to vote for in the g

what's the mood from democrats?i think they really they feel like given the action of gun control and preventing terrorists from getting guns and the effort on the house floor motivated them to keep going. they are pretty lively on the house floor right now. they are not showing signs of tiring out or fatigue. democrats are being quite persist ten with this protest. although the democrats are not backing down on their position that they are not ready to negotiate with democrats on any kind of gun control legislation. they feel they have got a lot of attention on social media and tv and media coverage and newspapers that they feel they have momentum for what they are doing. that's why you see the effort to adjourn early. they were supposed to be in until friday. i think they could like to conclude within the next few hour and take away the focus of what the democrats are doing right now on the floor. >> what's the feeling among republicans as you pass by them and hear them chatter? >> they are frustrated but also --

welcome to the democratic national convention meeting with her 2016 democratic national platform. it is my high honor to new chair the panel and participate in this important process. with that meeting of the platform and now i would ask that you stand so we can recite the pledge of allegiance. >> i pledge allegiance to the flag of the united states of america. and to the republic for which it stands one nation under god indivisible with liberty and justice for all. the democratic party chair and thanks to appointing me as i have shared with this committee our chairwoman is 100% committed that provides ample opportunity and i do express every viewpoint to be expressed the chairman has made it clear we would to be transparent and respectful of all views and rand she believes that approach is totally consistent with our values but also essential to the long term interest so your leadership is the model and a big akio also the democratic national election committee ceo. from the management to make it possible to be your today with your team platform director that will keep us on the

wait a minute. >> democrat versus democrat.ttle that is happening for the first time ever in california history. >> i want to come home. i want to come home to the state that i love so much, california. >> reporter: the fight is for california senator barbara boxer's seat. when she stepped down after nearly a quarter century, there was a deluge of candidates scrambling to fill her seat. 34 candidates to be exact. >> tonight california spoke. >> reporter: including california attorney general kamala harris. >> i know you are some of our strongest supporters. >> reporter: and california congresswoman loretta sanchez. and duf sundheim along with 11 other republicans. but not one republican ended up on the november ballot, leaving two democrats to duke it out. how did that happen? republicans have themselves to thank for a 2010 proposition authored by a republican state senator and backed by republican governor arnold schwarzenegger. it calls for the top two primary vote getters to advance to the general election regardless of part

the republicans won democratic seats and swung democratic seats in 2012. that is a fundamental of politics. it does not mean republicans are worse. it doesn't mean we hate the republicans. it doesn't mean by like hillary clinton. the reality. the second point is no, it is interesting you say republicans have coalesced around donald trump in that the last two presidents, republican presidents of the united states have not endorsed in significantly. he is getting criticism from high profile writers and thinkers, so, to just dismiss this and say the republicans have coalesced, trump is getting 80% of republicans. he needs to get 90% to 92%. he may get there. we are not prejudging it one way or the other. we are looking at what the data say. and we're looking at the opposition. in terms of the democrats, of course they are divided. we have not brought it up because it has not come up. it does not mean we are ignoring it or intentionally avoiding appeared i am glad you brought it up. let's address that. the democrats are divided at the moment and it is keeping

leadership has operated democrats and republicans -- has not permitted democrats and republicans to vote or this. it is coming, and those who try to resist it, they are playing on a team that will lose. it is time, not just for security and our economy, it is time that we fix this broken immigration system. greta: congressman, we have to leave it there. thank you so much. we are back with that reporters eric of warner and christina. let's begin with what you heard play out during our interview when with xavier becerra it comes to strategy and how democrats are going to talk about this presidential election and policy up on capitol hill. erika: i think that mr. be cerra's answer about paul ryan's poverty agenda tells you everything you need to know. he pivoted to ryan's endorsement ra saidp and what becer was given that endorsement and the fact that they're linking arms, he is not going to really listen to what paul ryan is proposing on poverty or any other topic. that is going to be the playbook from democrats for november. greta: christina, is that already happening on capitol hill

the democrats hate this. the white house sent out a statement, they don't like this agreement and have to do things to get this done by friday. the house of representatives is not scheduled to be in next week. the senate is. they're going to deal with the zika crisis, they need to get this done by the end of the week. that is one thing we're going to be thinking it's about. the other thing is how they'd handled protestors, house democrats on the house floor. again, what they're go going to vote on is unclear at this point. i should point out something. i have in my hands the house rule book. and rule four pertains to the whole of the house. use and admittance. the whole of the house shall be used for legislative business and caucus meetings of members. what you have here is the rules being broken but republicans are periscoping and facebooking these feeds. that is not allowed either. this is not the first time we have had this. this is a little bit different than in 2008. and the house voted to adjourn for au

democratic lawmakers said no problem.will take out our phones and they started streaming the protest live on periscope and facebook. this ignored longstanding rules against photo taking inside the house chamber. rules that predate the periscope and facebook live era. periscope launched last year and facebook live launching months ago. keep in mind in 2008, republican legislators held a protest on the house floor and the ruling democrats caused the cameras to be turned off. back then, protesters could not reach people through social media. this time they have technology on their side. >> the founding fathers were not thinking about periscope. >>> donald trump and hillary clinton providing new insight into how they would fix the economy as president. that's coming up next. the verizon win-win-win event is back with the iphone and ipad. win number one: you get america's largest, most reliable, most consistently fast 4g lte network. win number two? we'll pay up to $650 when you switch and trade in your phone. and the third wi

say democrats ran the house. say it's a year from now and democrats ran the house and republicans sit-in and say we're not going to let anything else happen in here until and less obama care is repealed. would that be okay? >> you know what, here's the truth. we're in a different place where the american people are concerned about gun violence and guns getting into the hands of terrorists and felons and domestic abusers. that's what we're talking about here today. we have tried over and over again to have the speaker and democrats and republicans handle this and they have not. now, we are going to handle it by occupying the floor until we can get a guarantee from speaker ryan that we can put these bills on the floor and vote for them. let them cast the vote against it so they can be accountable to their constituents. across this country, people are telling us, don't give up this fight on behalf of the american people. >> all right. congresswoman from maryland, thanks for the time. appreciate it. >> coming up, don

every single democrat. last week house and senate negotiators reconciled the house and senate bills and agreed on zika funding in the amount of $1.1 billion. in other words, mr. president, the exact same amount that senate democrats unanimously supported six weeks ago, but now democrats don't want to support it. their reason? because there's a small grant program in this bill most of which is intended for puerto rico won't provide for more federal funding for planned parenthood. mr. president, this bill provides expanded funding for community health centers, public health departments, and hospitals. it actually funds more avenues for access to women's health care than what the president requested. the bill funds research into a zika vaccine. it funds research into zika treatments. it streamlines mosquito control efforts since the best way to protect men, women, and babies from contracting the zika virus is to make sure they don't get bitten by a mosquito in the first place. the head of the centers for disea

he considers himself a democrat. and he believes these young people and these independents are the key to a democratic party that going forward really represents these progressive ideals that have been so important to him and so important to his supporters, brian. >> all right. outside the meeting going on with the democratic leader, harry reid with senator sanders of vermont. senator sanders has been something of a loner in the u.s. senate. he is not a glad-handing type. he has pretty much kept to himself, though he has taken on his share of responsibilities and issues he's championed over the years. among them, one of the ones he's very proud of is veterans in this country. steve israel is with us, eight-term democratic member of congress from the state of new york. congressman, help me out with something. harry reid comes down the white house driveway and speaks to this gaggle of microphones and reporters and looks like a guy going onto the d.c. primary on tuesday, makes no broader statement than that. no sooner d

democrats had no choice now. they had to let him talk. >> it is my honor to second the nomination of edmund g. brown jr. for the president of the united states of america. jerry brown. >> my name's jerry. i'm here to speak. >> jerry brown, the runner-up in the 1992 democratic primaries, he spoke for 20 minutes at that convention. he blasted the power of corporations, the power of the super wealthy, the democratic party's coziness with them. but never once, not even once in that 20-minute speech, did he mention the name "bill clinton." he never endorsed bill clinton. didn't endorse him at that convention, didn't endorse him in the fall, didn't publicly endorse him in 1996 when bill clinton ran for a second term as president. 1992 campaign sent jerry brownback into the political wilderness. by then he was nearly 60 years old and he had to start all over again if he wanted to be somebody in politics. you know what? he did that. 1998, he got elected mayor of oakland, california. 2002, he got re-elected. 2006, he move

so that's a good result for democrats.lary clinton beating donald trump in this new virginia poll. but here is what is more interesting than that. this poll was conducted after the orlando shooting this weekend and they asked questions in this poll about gun laws. and check this out. on support for universal background checks, look at these numbers. this is among virginia registered voters, universal background checks supported by 93% of democrats, by 87% of independents, by 83% of republicans. even republicans favor universal background checks. 83% of republicans. ppp also polled support for stopping people on an fbi terror watchlist from buying guns and that support is also overwhelming. 89% of democrats support banning people on the terror watchlist from purchasing a firearm, 89% of democrats, 84% of independence, 85% of republicans. that's in virginia, swing state virginia. anything that popular should be politically possible -- you'd think. these are live pictures of the senate floor right now where democrats for ten

hoping to take the wind out of democrats sails. now the big question is what's next for democrats?ere at about 4:30 a.m. eastern time in the house. what we're expecting is much smaller scale sorts of protests in the coming days as democrats try to figure out what they can do once the house is back on july 5th. >> so eric, as this has been going on, we saw paul ryan come out and say this is nothing more than a pr stunt. he spoke to our wolf blitzer earlier in the day yesterday. listen to this. >> this is nothing more than a pr stunt. point number two, this bill was already defeated in the united states senate. number three, we are not going to take away a citizen's due process rights. we will not take away a citiz citizen's due process. >> was this really the sit-in more smoke and mirrors because the reality is no matter how long they sit there, it would not do anything because these amendments have already been voted down? >> reporter: it is pointed to point out any victory the democrats claim is a pr victory. not a public policy victory. republicans already voted down these measur

so you have the democrats unified. you have the republicans in as big disarray as we have seen in this generation. going, you know, less than five months before the election. dy i disagree with the secretary of state. it is a different scenario and never seen the republicans with this kind of problem. you have tom coburn, very well respected republican senator saying trump has a character flaw. you have, you know, a bunch of people continuing to walk away from the party's nominee. mark kirk of illinois. never seen this in a very long time. it is okay to be outside the mainstream and then run a campaign to win the presidency and what donald seems to be struggling with. >> there's a difference between -- >> go ahead. >> there's a difference between unification of leaders and voters. polling bears out that voters in the republican party are unified to the tune of 80% to 90%, probably higher than the "the new york times" poll taken two weeks ago. contrast that with the democrat party, the leadership may be all on board and

republicans and democrats alike. it is time that you do your job and let us have our vote. >> america is sending out a 911 to the only first responders that they have. that's us. that's congress. there's no one else to answer that call. that's our job. that's our duty. speaker ryan, answer the call. >> mike thompson handed me this news flash that nra radio show has put out. here's the news. the nra radio show compares participates and representative john lewis's gun violence sit in to criminals and terrorists. does that firm up your determination to stand on this floor? >> yes. >> yes. >> for a body that has held hostage, a group of individuals that won't even allow us to vote, so call john lewis a terrorist because he's getting in the way. all we're asking for is a vote. if that's a terrorist action, then i guess we're all terrorists. >> sometimes you have do something out of the ordinary. sometimes you have to make a way out of no way. we have been too quiet for too long. there comes a time when you have to sense s

president, by democratic senate. [applause] >> frankly, i have been in .ashington a lot someone said to me, women are not hot. we are constantly being it referenced -- are we beautiful, hot, not hot? we to not matter at all, and neither do our issues. i did not even get to talk about women in california who were made to sign papers while they were giving birth, and they were given hysterectomies without the consent in the united states of america. >> i want to ask you very are policies in the united states that stand out as being separate and apart from the rest of the world that happened to affect women. the united states is the only country in the world that does not have a leave policy. other countries invest a lot more in childcare. i wanted to ask you, do you think that if we looked at the e.r.a. and other policies around these issues it will also build support for some of these economic discrepancies that women are facing. ms. arquette: i really do. it would give us a different scrutiny to examine these things

you see the democrats on the floor holding up the signs. those signs are names of people who have died in gun vi we have a vote coming in. and luke russert and others. let's take a look at floor. and the footage from . . . >>> it is the only way we know how to bring this attention, to bring this subject in a way that might force the saaction. secondly, he said we are not going to do no flight. i am very concerned of the due process rights. >> along with the senator and. [ inaudible ] -- that's not real here. what you are really saying with republicans and what the speaker are saying is okay, you can be a judge and so dangerous. >> the congress is speak zg min making the case of the due process. the idea that people can end up on the no buy list. we'll go in and out there. i want to show you late breaking right now. what paul ryan will be waking up in the morning. trying to shame him and calling him "the lap dog of the nra," the front center of the usa today. "we have been too quiet too long" >> nancy pelosi went outside the capitol while th

that means more than 3 million democrats and others voting in democratic contests have chosen me. have a very significant lead in pledged delegates. he's basically -- seems to be suggesting that superdelegates should overturn the will of the people. that is just hard for me to understand. it's never happened before. it's not going to happen this time. >> are you lobbying superdelegates now to try to shore them up in case he does -- >> no. >> -- continue to press that ca case? >> no. the people have already spoken. this would be unprecedented for someone who makes this case, and i know he and numbers of his supporters do, they have to answer some basic questions. why are you advocating that you want to overturn the will of the people who have been expressing their views for these last many months? more than 3 million votes ahead in the popular vote? senator obama and i were neck and neck. 300 pledged delegates ahead with more to come? i really don't understand the argument. basically going to superdelegates and trying to persuade them to overturn the primaries and caucuses and thei

democrats -- if democrats want to vote for a bill, there is a way to get one. it just takes 218 signatures on a petition and they can have a vote. it is that simple. that is how the house works. it is a well-known process. but they are not doing that. they are not trying to get this done to regular order. no instead, they are staging protests,, trying to get on tv. they are sending out fundraising solicitations like this one. "house democrats on the house floor. your contribution will go to the dccc. $15. this one says try giving us 25 bucks, but if you want you can send us 50, 100, $250, $500, $1000, because look at what we are doing on the house floor. send us money." this is not a political stunt, why are they trying to raise money off this, on a tragedy? ryan,house speaker paul yesterday's briefing. all of that available at c-span.org. reaction from the chair of the dnc, debbie wasserman schultz. tweeting, " paul ryan calling showst-in a publicity sun how little republicans care about safety for our kids and communities. the impact of the sit-in on the hous

there are democratic constituents that are angry that this has not been a bigger priority of the democraticty, that we've had mass shooting after mass shooting after mass shooting. while democrats have said they are in favor of gun control, there has not been anything near what we saw today in terms of prioritizing. what we've seen is some action by the president where he could take executive action. but no legislative movement and truly no real protest until this moment. this is something that is driven by the constituents of these democratic members as much as anything else, and it is clearly now the top priority at the moment and will be one of the top priorities for democrats going into the november election. >> jonathan allen and lois beck, please stay with us. we have live pictures on more of the house of representatives leaving for the evening. but we're awaiting a press conference as well. we'll take a quick break and then come back. >> i'm alex trebek. if you're age 50 to 85, i have an important message about security. write down the number on your screen, so you can call when i fi

what's to assume that house democrats would want a fresh slate. to get this back to regular order? >> things can start with regular order and then they can go afield if somebody ends -- the way things happened today. nobody really not very many people knew this was planned ahead of time. they started when a group of them went to the floor for a speech that became something that was longer and grew and the house tried to gavel into a regular session around noon today that lasted for about three minutes before they decided they couldn't compete with the democrats in the center of the house floor and calling for gun control votes. we could see a repeat of that or there could be something else that happens. this is unprecedented so we're not sure what the rule book is but certainly this has shown there's opportunity to take over the space on the house floor without much organization, without much -- without too many hurdles and it's possible to do once. we haven't gotten to the point where the sergeant in arms has gotten involved. >> we're looking at

us now is the democrat of connecticut. we don't we start with what is being achieved in your view so far tonight. >> i think what is most likely to be achieved is the gal vanization of people who realize the way you solve the problem with guns and by the intensity problem you have a relatively small percentage of the american population who cares about this, they write the checks that are single issue voters, a lot of people are saying if we're going to pass legislation and this is what we're asking for tonight that is supported by 90% of the american back, universal background checks, no fly, no buy, we're going to need to generate enthusiasm. none of us are under the impression that the speaker is going to gave to what we want him to do but what we are doing is we're changing the conversation out there and public sentiment is everything. >> so when you're saying you're changing the conversation do you see this primarily as activism to effect the people watching in the rest of the country and not what happens actually ins

this from a democrat, from a democrat close to the white house.ndorse hillary clinton later today, and i'm quoting now from the source. with sanders, the sanders meeting out of the way, he's going to endorse the president of the united states. will formally endorse, in fact, presumably to come into the white house briefing room momentarily to make it official that the president of the united states will endorse hillary clinton for the democratic nomination for president of the united states. let's bring in david chalian, nia-malika henderson is with us, as well. i guess the president was waiting to have the formal meeting with senator sanders to let him know of his intention to endorse hillary clinton not a surprise. the question was the timing. right? >> that's right. in fact, i'm watching this video that hillary clinton's campaign just posted with president obama on it, actually giving his remarks that he wants to add his name to the list of names who are supporting her and joining the effort. so, yes. as we were saying earlier in this show, wol

will the democrats come down on that?very poll. the showdown on this house floor is bringing out that protest outside the u.s. capital as well, late into the night. cnn suzanne malveaux has more from the capital. >> reporter: good morning, it's pouring rain outside here in washington. i got stuck in the rain. there are at least a dozen people however there huddled together. there is no protection for them. they say they will be out there for the duration. they were out there overnight. at the height of that demonstration, the sit-in there, you had hundreds and hundreds of people gathered outside, all of them have a story, but definitely in support of tougher gun laws, gun measures. there were times congressman john lewis as well as nancy pelosi to thank them. i had a chance to talk to a number of people, one of them very special. her name lucy mcbath. she lost her 17-year-old son, his name, jordan davis. he was just 17. this was in november 2012. it happened when he was playing music, in his car in a parking lot and anoth

i have always been a democrat. i became a democrat the day i realized my parents were republicans. people -- it was about results. this in ship was not important -- partisanship was not important. if people did not see the tangible effects of what you did, you are not getting reelected. in local office, you are accessible. people will stop you in the grocery store. i once had a woman rear end mike kupchak on broad street -- mike pickup truck on broad street. that i just run into the mayor? there is the zoning issue coming up in city hall next week. you are really up close and personal. you can make people happier and starting in that place where partisan was important and relationship was important that to me has been the base of everything i've done in government since. >> you then went on to be governor. how did you approach that? >> i was lieutenant governor to a longtime friend. matt warner and i met at harvard lawsuit. he was a kid in connecticut. and i was a kid from cost city. i reconnected with him when he was in the governor's campaign in 1989. and then we were friends.

we're continuing to watch the democratic results from the democratic presidential primary trickling inrom puerto rico. they're taking their time counting them. donald trump is trying to unite the republican party behind him and he's getting pushback. we'll take a look at the presumptive nominee efforts to woo party loyalists and the fresh new attack at against the democratic presidential front-runner hillary clinton using her own words against her. . oh no, i'll take you up to the front of the school. that's where your friends are. seriously, it's, it's really fine. you don't want to be seen with your dad? no, it's..no.. this about a boy? dad! stop, please. oh, there's tracy. what!

democratic congresswoman. both went up and tried to urge the floor staff to keep these visitors in the gallery. and actually argued with them and got them to -- these visitors to return. so things getting very, very tense here as we're getting overnight into the early morning hours. and we're not seeing any real end to these protests. one other thing i should note, don, house republicans are pushing through with a series of votes, through the course of the night. not trying to say that their business will not be impeded. they will not bring forward the gun bills that the democrats are demanding. in fact, what democrats have done they say has backfired. >> as we understand this, we've heard from house members that they're getting food delivered as well. some people are even sending them food from around the country. some constituents. >> reporter: yeah, that's right. there are members who are tweeting about that. judy chu from california said that pizza was being delivered here. we see pillows on the house floo

your thoughts on the democratic sit-in. caller: i respect the democrats for firmly stating their points, but i'm trying to wrap my head around the whole idea of this legislation. they aren't talking about what's going to be in this amendment, but just describing facts and stating opinions about what's happened surrounding gun incidents. and honestly, you want to try gun owners and people who are amassing order nants, why don't you just track that and make it stricker to purchase and arm yourself with bullets? that's all. ost: judy, in lake port, california. democratic caller. caller: i would like to say bravo, bravo, bravo. today i'm so proud of being a democrat and are taking a stand and i hope the whole country realizes that the republican party are turning their backs on the american people. they are showing no empathy, no compassion for the families that have lost people to gun violence. and i wish the democrats that are initiating this could look at the possibility now of recalling paul ryan, because he is showing such

the democrat -- if a democratic's elected president -- democrat's elected president and the senate remains under republican control, oh, we like only eight justices on the bench? we can't do this if we're going to retain our system of respect for the rule of law and an independent judiciary. >> a quick response, randy. >> i think if the democrats had confirmed robert bork, somebody who i did not myself support, but who i believed was qualified by every measure that merrick garland is qualified by, then i don't think we would be in the situation we are in today. but at that time the senate judiciary committee chairman, biden, said at time manager i agreed with at the time, and that is judicial philosophy, he said, was ultimately as relevant as what we would call qualifications. judicial philosophy was a legitimate part of the senate's vetting of a president's appointment from the opposite party. and that's all that i'm advocating x that's all that the republicans in the senate are currently saying, is that judicial philosophy matters in addition to qualifications and that this is a sufficie

democrats feel it. it's unreasonable not to hold a vote on this issue and republicans are going to be on the defensive. >> we've had some extraordinary reporting tonight from luke. i want to thank him for that and thank norm for joining us. jonathan thank you for joining us and our final guest robert and howard, thank you both. really appreciate you all joining us. thank you. chris hayes will now continue the live coverage of this historic night in the house of representatives. >>> good evening from new york. i'm chris hois at this hour the unpress tented in the in the house of representatives is continuing to unfold. your watching a live feed of the house which we're bringing you. that is not live. a feed from the periscope camera that is recording the democrats sitting in the house now going on their 12th hour after democrats spent 11 hours occupying the house to call for a vote on two different gun safety measures conducting a kind of civil disobedience sit in that shut down one of the two legislativ

he's a democrat. you for joining us. >> great to be with you. >> are you concerned about what donald trump might say when he fires back at hillary clinton on national security foreign policy as early as tomorrow? >> no, i'm not. in fact, every time donald trump wades into foreign policy or national security, he seems to make his problem even worse in terms of his credibility. just within the last 24 hours or 48 hours, he reversed himself in terms of his views on what we should have done in libya. i think he's only digging the hole deeper. what made secretary clinton's speech powerful was that she was using his words against him. very much against what has been bipartisan american foreign security policy. i'm not concerned about what she'll have to say. >> listen to how donald trump responded to charges from hillary clinton that he is thin-skinned. listen to this. >> first of all, i don't have thin skin. i have strong j thick skin. when somebody is right about me, if you do a report and it's not necess

are they happy to see democrats or is this disarray on the democrats party or congress's part? >> more importantly, i was assistant director of the house radio and television and house gallery before we ever had any cell phones. you were never allowed to do anything like this. this is absolute anarchy on the house floor. and how paul ryan are legislate the republicans let this happen, i'll never know. he is absolutely correct. there say political stunt. this is a stunt that is designed to change the narrative. because what happened in orlando was terrorism. what happened was a terrorist got ahold of a gun and going to get ahold of guns regardless of the gun laws. they need to change that topic for very political reasons. for hillary clinton. >> you think this is about hillary clinton? >> i think it's about hillary clinton and every person running for re-election on that floor. they're all looking for political points and breaking the rules and trat decisions of the house to do that. >> they're looking for political points from their own constituents or -- >> absolutely. and als

the democratic party. normal issues at play here. i think he's more invested in his agenda and wanting to get certain issues on the table at the convention. and people who are supporters of his said they want to see a fight on israel. israel and palestine. they don't like hillary's position and they want to make sure they get the vp that they want. he doesn't have a lot of incentive to get out. >> hillary clinton meantime i get the sense that she would like to take advantage of what are disenfranchised republicans and reach out that way and yet still has to reach to the progressive side of her own party to unify after bernie sanders is doing what he's doing. you. >> you also know that hillary clinton would like to be celebrating fact that she's the first female of a nominating party of the united states and that's kind of being taken away from her by what bernie sanders is doing. i think the risk for democrats, is that bernie sanders has run a campaign based on the argument that the system is rigged. it's

the democrats are voting for the democrats and clinton locks down the democratic base and republicans are iffy on trump which the new post on abc shows they are. that might be a recipes of success. >> there is news breaking on benghazi situation. we want to get your thoughts on. that >> this alert. democrats on the select committee on benghazi issuing their own report saying that hillary clinton never personally deny the requests of the additional security ahead of the attack in 2012. this is before the long- awaited results of the investigation which republicans say could come tomorrow. >> reporter: what we are seeing is the culmination of the investigation in benghazi. the democrats have launched a preemptive strike by releasing their own report. the republicans as you mentioned could come as tomorrow. and one of the main findings of the democrats is that security was inadequate in the day of the attack in benghazi. but they are not conceded that there were multiple warnings that security was inadequate including a meeting in august 2012, it was so important combroun to the defense

democrats can talk all they want. i'm not sure what their plan or end game is here, but the bottom line is despite these istractions we did our job and we did the people's business and we will continue to do so. one more point i want to bring up. i want to say a word about the supreme court ruling that halts the president's executive amnesty. this is a win for the constitution. it's a win for congress and in our fight to restore the separation of powers. president doesn't write laws, the congress writes law. it is fundamental to our system of checks and balance. congress, not the president, writes our laws and the supreme court validated that very fundamental principle. reporter: speaker ryan, what were your personal feelings when you were being screamed at and yelled shame, not even a year in our speakership. are you worried that this sets a precedent for the shoe be on the other foot that if you are a minority point? the speaker: i'm worried about the presence here. i have an obligation to protect this institution.

jon: but it's also true, carl, that bernie sanders is running as a democrat but he's not a democrat. he's democratic socialist so what does a lecture from the top of the party do for him? >> that's why the president has got to be careful. you're absolutely right. think about this. bernie sanders has been in elected office for 30 something years. ran for governor, ran and got elected to the u.s. house, ran and got elected to the us in his third term out and he has never run as a democrat. this will be the first democratic convention state, local or national that he's ever attended. he's always run for office as an independent, being defeated by a defeating a democrat so he doesn't really care about the party long-term in the way that somebody who's been part of his work and we for the last 30 years.he wants the democratic party to be an instrument to transform the country and in order to achieve that he needs to transform the democratic party. that's why the president was smart. the president can play a big role in this but right now a light touch is going to be better than heavy truc

the democrats are to much control this state.re probably going to have kamala harris and loretta sanchez on the ballot, two democrats. what will happen is the republican party will most likely vote for loretta sanchez because she is the more sort of moderate democrat on certain issues. it is just the republicans really don't have a chance when it comes to running for senate in the state of california. at the bernie sanders rally last night. what do you think will happen with the bernie sanders camp? i mean, we still don't know. they cannot predict what will happen run-up to the convention. but how do you think -- what do you think needs to happen? just listening to your last interview talking about this ridiculous things that trump has said, i'm afraid the next five to six months it is going to be trump said something ludicrous, hillary clinton responded, and we're not going to talk about issues or things that really matter to people. i think it is important to remember that this time last year, bernie sanders was 63 points behin

that has lasted with the democrats. he paint her as crooked hillary which has worked against her. so far none of her attacks seem to stick when it comes to trump university he may big his own hole but it is nothing that has been done because of her. >> what do you think targeting donald trump's businesses do you think that will work? >> i have advice for the hillary campaign. they are going to have their boxing gloves on and come in and have a boxing match. donald trump will walk in with a broken coke bottle ready to have a street fight. he is going to say something nobody expects. you can't take on a street fight when somebody is coming in with a broken stick saying whatever they need to say which is outside of the map. >> i have a feeling we will hear about laureate education in terms of the clintons. that will come from the trump campaign. if you don't know about it google it. >> appreciate it. see what happens tonight. >> abby? >> thanks guys. about 40 minutes after the hour. the third party threat, can an independe

they are democrats and she is a democrat. the only argument here is for him to win california. then the question is, what is his tone wednesday morning if it's overwhelming. pick your sport. if the score is 28-21, the person with 28 wins. >> she's got about 55% of the popular vote, 3 million more votes than he has received in all of these primaries and caucuses today. >>> stand by. up next, did donald trump cross a very clear line into major no-no territory. he tears into a federal judge calling him a hater, knocking his ethnic heritage. top republicans are calling that a very bad idea. i'll ask a trump campaign insider to explain. and we're standing by also for the first results coming in from the democratic primary in puerto rico. america is a nation of immigrants. we're a schmorgasbord of cultures. a korean taco of togetherness. an everything bagel of unity, each one of us a different seed. that was beautiful, amy. i thought it was also nice, yeah. yeah. we're a poutine of harmony. a gumbo of coexistance. we're a never ending, bottomless, all inclusive, super... buffet of...

by democrats. going back to the great depression. clinton had five major achievements as president. when i say these are his major achievements, that is according to his fans, his admirers. all five of them were republican or conservative initiatives. you're so had crime bill in 1994, welfare reform, deregulation across the board of yet thed telecoms, and balanced budget. these are the five sort of great things when people say bill clinton is this wonderful president, those are the things they look at gone. every singngle one off them endd in disaster. -- arguablyng 01 with the exception of the balanced budget, but every single one was a republican conservative ininitiatives.. she got them done. bill, weh the crime started researching, there wasn't a whole lot of attention on the legacy of the clinton's efforts in crimes, but with the black lives matter movement and the challenges to the candidates now, there is been a lot more. talk abobout that particular legacy. >> i was around when clinton was

there are a number of independents and soft democrats, vulnerable democrats who do not like hillary clinton. the campaign hopes they'll be able to convince them to come to donald trump's side with a speech like this, painting him as more about the people than the politician, saying hillary clinton is out for herself, out for washington, while donald trump is out for the voters. but a bit of a fact check here. there were a number of inaccuracies during his speech. when he reached out to muslims, peaceful muslims saying isis threatens them. that's a departure from the rhett wick we had been hearing on the campaign trail. as recently as a couple days ago donald trump saying that muslims should be surveilled in the country, they are people that could be doubted. they could be held to prevent terrorism situations but they're not doing it. also that clinton campaign is corrupt, tra. a bit of a context here, donald trump and ivanka have both given money to the clinton foundation, trump between $100 and $200,000. donald trump has called it blood money that he didn't necessarily know where that cash
