they were saying we have to invade iraq, we have to invade iraq. i did not believe them. and i voted against that disastrous law. [applause] clinton heard the same arguments, read the same information. she voted for that disastrous war. when we talk about why the middle class of this country has been disappearing for 30 years, why many millions of workers today are working longer hours for lower wages, a lot of that has to do with horrific trade policies written by corporate america. since the year 2001, this country has lost 60,000 factories and millions of decent paying jobs. i have opposed every one of these trade agreements, nafta, afta.the -- c secretary clinton has supported virtually all of those corporately written trade agreements. one of the reasons our campaign is doing so well is that we are not listening to big-money campaign contributors. we are listening to the american people. [applause] this is what the american people are telling me. if they are workers, they are saying they cannot make it on eight dollars, nine dollars, $10 an hour. they are tired of wo

bush for invading iraq. what does that poll tell you?first of all, i don't know who donald trump is actually going to be on foreign policy, because to me, he seems like a m megalomaniac and also deeply incendiary. so these days he really seems to be playing on people's fears. so the sort of rhetoric he has about muslim folks in the country, keeping them out of the country, the rhetoric he has about locking -- getting mexican folks out of the country does not show he's a trustworthy person on foreign policy. and since he's a man who changes position within an interview on a given day, i'm not so sure i actually believe he wouldn't invade someone, just because he has the power to do so. and i think that's really important. but i think there is another point here that's really important. so while i too would prefer a foreign policy that is far less hawkish, the thing that i think we aren't saying is that hillary clinton -- there is something about the gender dynamics here that matter, as well. could a woman be the first president and run by

about invading iraq to stabilize the entire region the only had 200 jihadist according to the fbi. have hundreds of thousands. and what is failure? and what is the weapon against people like me? her looks. it is the public mindset i had that in italy because i was of muslim or brown or something is hard for me i have no comment if you think burlesconi was bad imagine and donald trump up there he is already saying these disgusting people. with that type of attitude under burlesconi 10 years is the same type of thing. where did -- men and women would call us and threaten us real threats in these threats can happen and i believe it easily is translated into violence and forgive me for repeating the same thing to reinforce each other's we have to have a culture that reinforce them push back carter. and sorry we're not pushing back carter enough with everything that they have from threats to bullying or harassment were beating up of a journalist who live in the era where it's still functions so let's hold it together the akio. >> she will be signing her book at the reception after and a

[cheers and applause] since the year 2001, this country has lost 60,000 factory millions of decent paying jobs. [booing] i have opposed every one of the trade agreements. nafta. secretary clinton has supported virtually all of those corporately produce trade agreements. now one of the reasons that our campaign is doing so well is that we are not listening to big money campaign contributors. we are listening to the american people. and this is what the american people are telling me. they can't make an eight or nine or 10 bucks an hour. they are tired of working i'm not going anywhere. and that is why we need to raise the minimum wage to

the hillary clinton sucked up to wall street and voted to invade iraq is running on a platform of equalitykindness. and that, my friends is thanks to bernie sanders. yeah. it's like bernie sanders slipped a molly into her campaign. ( laughter ) and you know what? i've heard bernie sanders supporters complaining. they g, hillary's stealing bernie's ideas." but don't you see, that's a good thing because if hillary clinton is going to be president. don't you want her to steal his ideas. either way bernie wins. because bernie goes, "i'm going to shut down wall street." and then hillary goes, "no, i'm going to shut down wall street." and bernie goes, "okay." ( laughter ) and one thing is for certain-- and we all saw it last night-- i'm glad to say it looks like hillary is feeling the bern. we'll be right back. alright, let's do this. i got minds to twist and values to warp. mr. tyler, your skittles portrait. that is e to the z oh twiddly dee-sgusting! you haven't heard me sing diddly-ding yet. ♪ dream on! higher. ♪ dream on! i think a little higher! ♪ dreammmm onnnnnnnn! ♪ dreammm onnnn! rock t

i was so proud when bernie said we don't need to invade iraq. he voted no on invading iraq. nothing, but he is still smart enough, he was smart enough to know a country that had been under a no-fly zone for 12 years and for two thirds of its landmass was not about to attack the united states. when george bush said let's attack iraq, he's that i'm not going to do that. he said no on that and we need that kind of judgment in the white house. what do you think? ,ernie sanders, when they said when obama said we are going to try to work out a deal with the iranians to make sure we don't have any wars or spread nuclear weapons. bernie said i'm for that and i backed that 100%. you remember that? his instincts are for peace in this world and dignity for all human beings, no matter where they live. domestically, right here in the good old united states, right here in flint, bernie has been against these bad trade deals that hit michigan so hard. when i was working as a councilman in the city of detroit and every day we would see 100 laid-off year, 100 laid off there, all these compan

bush for invading iraq and blame barak obama for heading to the exits, but 80 percent lie in a dysfunctionalious radical ideology with muslim groups have created a toxic miss where isis feeds. it has now morphed. and one additional point, the so- called international coalition never did merge. great powers of grit britain and united states is unwilling to deploy forces on the ground if that could answer the problem. the only power that is prepared to act is mr. putin, russia. and russia intervenes in syria not to destroy isis but strengthen the poster child for recruiting isis, and the turks are the same way. they are more interested in hammering the kurds in northeastern syria than dealing with isis. and so it is a long- term problem without a simple fix. with with all due respect to republican and democratic candidates on this issue. >> in world war ii. we were dealing with soldiers and armies that were swearing for hitler and mussolini. they are fighters not wearing uniforms and swearing loyalty to a religion, does that make it harder to stop them? >> it does. isis the paradox. even thoug

chinese analysts were desperately trying to figure out why the united states had been so stupid to invade iraq so i'm going to start by summing up if i were asked to play all down the neoconservatism into its essential element that is those that have remained consistent over the past 50 years, i would say the following. first, the view of the world in which good and evil are constantly at war in the united states that has an obligation to leave the forces for good around the globe and second the belief in the moral exceptionalism of both the united states and israel. and to defend israel security. third, the conviction in order to keep evil at bay the united states must be willing to exercise the power necessary to defeat any and all challenges anywhere and there is a corollary to this. force is the only language that evils and adversaries understand fourth it was chamberlain and then churchill taught us everything we need to know about evil and how to afford it in fifth, democracy is generally desirable but it always depends on who wins. i can stop here but i still have 14 minutes. let's revi

those two exchanges between the callers, we invaded iraq.ller -- what about 9/11? did you forget? yes, they were saudi's and not iraqis. we are the biggest arms dealers in the world. and we sell this to both sides to make sure this will never stop. congress might want to look at the a umf the four donald trump or hillary clinton wins. thank you for hearing my call. host: up next on the independent line we have matthew from indiana. good morning. caller: i just wanted to say s at every political party i mess. we have democrats who have no clue what they really want to do , and the republicans want to put the hammer down on everybody. the simple fact is that america has created so many of its own problems over several decades. we propped up saddam and then we got him out. we got osama bin laden to fight the soviets and now we need to take a step back and look at our policies which obviously are not working and maybe we should just back off. it is obvious we cannot control what is happening in other countries. we are letting our company suffer.

that it is the plan of attack, george bush's decision to invade iraq. and it's the last line of the book. bush. sent questions to we had done hours of specific interviews, and he was standing in the oval office with his , and i just pockets asked, i'm not quite sure how the question came to mind because it was not on the list of questions i had. it was how do you think history , will judge your iraq war? and bush -- i think the mention of history caused him to think about those exams in history at yale that he did not do that well on. [laughter] flinched but he takes his hands out of his pockets and says, history? we won't know. we'll all be dead. [laughter] a less than comforting thought. but if you think about it, it's true. , the point of gerald ford. it looks one way and then, in history, it may look the opposite. so, i asked senator clinton, why do you quote that? , youhe said, oh, well can't think and talk like that and the president of the united states. i said, what you mean? she said, you just can't. you've got to take charge. you got to do thi

iraq. as if iran, not the u.s., hadn't been the one to invade that country. israel, on the other hand, has directly killed and injured americans. from the crew of the "u.s.s. liberty" in 1967, 37 americans killed, 171 wounded in international waters, to 23-year-old nonviolent activist rachel corey killed 13 years ago this past wednesday days before we invaded iraq. and an 18-year-old, a passenger on a humanitarian vessel who was killed six years ago. the u.n. human rights council described his killing as a, quote, summary execution by israeli commandos who boarded the unarmed ship also in international waters. our final speaker, hwaida arraf was a passenger, one of the other two vessels. she's one of four challenger passengers who are suing the state of israel and four of its ministries for torture, cool, inhumane or degrading treatment, a assault and detention, and emotional distress. hwaida is a palestinian american lawyer and human rights advocate. as the daughter of an israeli-born palestinian, she is also a citizen of israel. she received her bachelor's

anyhow, they told us that the reason why we have to invade iraq and etc. listen carefully.ause i knew that the decisions that congress reached would result in some people in my own state not coming back alive. i listened very carefully. and i ended up not believing what they said. i voted against the war in iraq. \[cheering] >> bernie! bernie! bernie! bernie! bernie! bernie! bernie! bernie! bernie! bernie! bernie! bernie! bernie! bernie! sen. sanders: secretary clinton was in the senate and heard the same information that i did. i was in the house. she voted for the war. and that war is -- as all of you know turned out to be one of the worst foreign policy disasters in the modern history of america. now, in addition, in the last debate that i had with secretary clinton, she said something that really kind of blew me away. she said that henry kissinger thought that she did a very good job -- can't believe -- you -- you know who henry kissinger is, right? and why one would look for approval from one of the worst, most destructive secretaries of state in the history of this co

libya, invaded syria, should we have invaded iraq again in how many military ventures we going to have, how many countries in to the middle east? if that's what he's suggesting, i'd like to hear it. >> what's interesting, monica, he's actually attacking a military venture that went wrong. that was our intervention in libya. for liberals upset about the war in iraq, that's vl lid to be upset about the war in iraq. one of the obvious conclusions one draws is don't kill the guy in charge if you don't have something better to replace him with. that's what the obama administration did and isis benef benefitted. >> that's right. all criticism is fair. we're in the middle of a presidential campaign. mrs. clinton is already running a general election campaign. look, in those clips and speeches that she gave this week, tucker, you would never know that she was president obama's secretary of state for four years. you would never know that she was actually the steward of american foreign policy and national security for all of that time. it's like she's arriving on the scene for

no, not invade iraq again. we're sorry for that. basic common sense stuff -- >> you said learn from them. that stuck in my mind. >> that's the point. >> they're not doing it. just the opposite. herr geral geraldo, i think it's further. they're not learning the lesson of the voter this is election year and now create a circular firing squad ar maybe even a third candidate that would ensure the presidency for hillary clinton. how stupid is that? >> it is stupid. and when i was flirting with the idea of running for senate as a republican in new jersey, the political consultants flocked to me like bees to honey. because they wanted a job. trump is such a disrupter that he threatens this whole, you know, gravy train that these people -- >> i would have voted against her. >> you may have. but i believe, here's what i think. just one thing that kimberly said i want to re-emphasize. i think john kasich as a big role to play. to me, the best, strongest republican ticket you can imagine is trump at the top, john kasich and experienced, govern

a secret, and trump himself actually has said it -- obama has saidid it, too, that have we not invaded iraq, there would have been no isis, which is absolutely true. so it is u.s. policies which create these groups, and then more wars are proposed to do with them to decapitate them, when the actual problem isn't understood. trump'sink, amy, that popularity, whether we like it or not, doesn't come from stupid, absurd remarks like this, but comes that he appeals to a layer which feels -- sosocl layer in american political life which has been ignored by mainstream politicians, poor white working-class families. that is where his appeal is coming from. and thank god we have bernie sanders come also a billing to this layer, and others come and saying there is an alternative on the other side. my fear is that if bernie is. the presidential candidate of the democrats, which might be the case, but i hope not, and trump has to deal with hillary on the issue of war, on the p and all of these trade treaties that have been signed, on the issue of doing something for poor whites, trump, to use an awful
