first, we'll start with jake tapper's interview with donald trump from "state of the union." >> i have had horrible rulings. i have been treated very unfairly by this judge. i am going to do very well with the hispanics, the mexicans. >> so no mexican judge can be involved in a case that involves you? >> he's a member of a society that's, you know, very pro-mexico, which is fine -- think he should refuse himself. >> what's he know -- >> does he know the lawyer on the other side, you know, a lot of people say yes -- >> i'm not talking about -- >> that's another problem. >> you're invoking his race when you talk about whether or not he can do his job -- >> jake, i'm building a wall, okay, i'm trying to keep business out of mexico. mexico's fine. there's nothing -- >> but he's an american. >> he's of mexican heritage. and he's very proud of -- >> but he's an american. you keep talking about it's a conflict of interest because of mexico -- >> jake, i have a case that should have been dismissed already. i have thousands of people saying trump university is fantastic. i have a judge that nev

you heard jake tapper touch on it during that interview with trump. trump again mentioning it here at the rally, basically saying look, yes, i have a tough temperament but you need a tough temperament he told the crowd to run the country. >> jason, thanks very much. we will get reaction from the panel and later, hillary clinton telling jake tapper donald trump lowered the bar on civility. a lot more in the world of politics. everything you're good at now, you were once... pretty bad at. it's the same for credit. even if you're not good at it now, that's okay. because credit isn't just a score. it's a skill. experian. be better at credit. telling jake tapper donald trump [plumber] i need to be where the pipes are. so i use quickbooks and run my entire business from the cloud. i keep an eye on sales and expenses from anywhere. even down here in the dark i can still see we're having a great month. and celebrate accordingly. i run on quickbooks.that's how i own it. >>> i think i'm going to do very well with hispanics but we're building a wall, he's a mexi

i'm jake tapper. donald trump digging in on a heated and inflammatory attack. mainly, his argument that a judge's mexican heritage makes him unable to be fair in his case. never mind the district judge court gonzalo curiel has never expressed an opinion on the wall publicly or that before a republican governor assistant u.s. attorney curiel had to live under tight security after taking on a mexican drug cartel. republican officials of all stripes are strongly condemning trump's words six weeks before he officially becomes their standard bearer at the convention in cleveland. sara murray is joining me. >> he's taking the same tone, slamming what donald trump has had to say, saying it reflects badly on our party and our nation and even went to say, i ran for president and warned this was going to happen. but, of course, if you think donald trump is backing away from these comments whatsoever, think again even in the face of all of this criticism. he's sticking by his critique of the judge. >> i have a j

i'm jake tapper in los angeles.alifornia but the presidential race has taken a dark turn this week with donald trump's charged remarks roiling many and hillary clinton warning ominously of the consequence of electing trump. her newly full-throated attack comes on trump while she's still struggling to fend off that other rival of hers, senator bernie sanders. sanders is pledging to fight on. i asked clinton about both men when we met up here in los angeles. madam secretary, thanks for agreeing to do this. >> great to see you, jake. >> i asked donald trump where you couldn't trust him with the nuclear codes it's not tough to imagine him bringing the country into war because somebody got under his very thin skin, pretty close to a quote and his response was she's the one that voted to go to war in iraq. how do you respond to that? >> well, i think the speech was really an attempt to present to the american people everything that he has said, what he has proposed that he would do, which violates republican and democrati

i'm jake tapper. this sunday morning on "state of the union," my interviews with hillary clinton and donald trump and bernie sanders will be added to the mix. that's at 9:00 a.m. and noon on sunday. >>> happening now, breaking news. poor judgment? donald trump lashes out at a judge overseeing the trump university fraud case, suggesting he's bias because of his mexican heritage. >> no let-up. hillary clinton steps up her blistering attacks on donald trump saying he's not qualified to be commander in chief. but has trump found hillary's achilles heel with attacks on her e-mail? >>> american advisers. as local forces step up offenses against isis, the u.s. military is stepping up its role on the ground. cnn has learned that another 250 advisers and trainers are heading into syria. >>> kim jong-un shows off an adult defector who have lived their entire lives in north korea. i'm wolf blitzer and you're in "the situation room." >>> the breaking news, hillary clinton and donald trump are answering the bell f

i'm jake tapper. we begin with breaking news and high drama on capitol hill. democratic lawmakers are staging a sit-in on the floor of the u.s. house of representatives. they are led by congressman john lewis and protesting the unwillingness of republicans who control the house to even allow a vote on gun control legislation ten days after the deadliest mass shooting in modern u.s. history. if you're wondering why we're using photographers and periscope to show you this instead of using cameras inside the house chamber, the ones you pay for, that's because shortly after democrats began this show of defiance, republicans gavelled into recess and as is protocol, the cameras were shut off. let's go to manu raju on capitol hill. >> reporter: frustration has been building upon democrats. democratic senator chris murphy demanded action and today it was the house democrats' turn. furious democrats take to the house floor and refuse to leave, demanding a vote on gun control after the worst mass shooting in u.

i'm jake tapper. we're live in culver city. what we have today, this hour, my interviews with both secretary of state hillary clinton and the presumptive nominee, donald trump. these interviews were just done in the last 24 hours and there's been an intense back and forth between these two candidates. those interviews coming to you in a moment. first, how in the world did we get here? and by that, i don't mean a parking lot in culver city. cnn's jeff zeleny is joining me here. we are not even done with the primaries yet. bernie sanders is out there fighting saying he can become the nominee. you would think, based on what is going on, that the trump and clinton showdown is where it is. >> no doubt about it. this is the sound track of this campaign we're going to hear for the next five months over and over. what donald trump and hillary clinton are telling you. they are also telling voters here, it's one of the reasons that hillary clinton is going so hard after donald trump, to persuade all of the demo

that's a big if, clinton said she is happy to compare her record with donald trump. >> thank you, jake tapper and remarkable interview with donald trump. talking about that for sure. let's get more on all of this right now we're joined by eugene scott from cnn politics. eugene, thank you. we heard jake talking to donald trump. donald trump seems to suggest gonzalo curiel's parents were born in mexico and he was born in new york, he cannot get a fair hearing. then donald trump expanded the definition further when he seemed to rule out muslim judges as well or raised the possibility. listen. >> if it were a muslim judge, would you feel they would not treat you fairly because of that policy of yours? >> it's possible, yes. absolutely. >> you hear it there. eugene, that is causing a lot of concern among the republican party. >> very much so. we have seen many republican leaders push back on donald trump's comments because they are concerning to people. it is especially a party doing poorly with latino voters. there is concern where this viewpoint will end. what's next? is gender next? will he bel

i have to end the conversation because i have to hand things off to jake tapper. special coverage continues with jake tap per. >>> thanks, brooke. hillary clinton asking voters are you comfortable with donald trump having control of the button.

and here's donald trump in a heated exchange that we want you to see in full with our jake tapper, just moments ago. >> i have had horrible rulings, i've been treated very unfairly by this judge. now, this judge is a mexican heritage. i'm building a wall, okay? i'm building a wall. i am going to do very well with the hispanics. the mexicans. >> so no mexican judge could ever be involved in a case that involves you? >> he's a member of a society where, you know, very pro-mexico and that's fine. it's all fine. >> but you're calling into question his heritage because he's latino. >> does he know the lawyer on the other side? i mean, does he know the lawyer? you know. a lot of people say -- >> i'm not talking about that. >> that's another problem. >> but you're invoking his race when talking about whether or not he can do his job. >> jake, i'm building a wall, okay? i'm building a wall. i'm trying to keep business out of mexico. mexico is fine. there's nothing -- >> but he's an american. >> he's a mexican heritage. and he's very proud of it, as i am where i come from. >> but he's an america

my colleague jake tapper pressed mr. trump more than 20 times on this very issue on sunday's "state of the union." >> if you were giving me fair rulings, i wouldn't be talking to you this way. he's giving me horrible rulings. >> that's fine. you can criticize every decision. what i'm saying is if you invoke his race as a reason why he can't -- >> i think that's why he's doing it. i think that's why he's doing it. he's proud of his heritage. >> are you saying he can't do his job because of that? >> i'm building a wall. i think i'm going to do -- >> he's a legal citizen. >> i'm going to bring back jobs. they'll get jobs right now. i think i'm going to do well with hispanics. we are building a wall. he's a mexican. we're building a wall between here and mexico. >> if you are saying he can't do his job because of his race, is that not the definition of racism? >> i don't think so at all. >> we'll talk to tapper about that moment next hour, by the way. now, multiple republican leaders who are backing trump, they're condemning

i'm jake tapper. we're getting a terrifying mind glimpse into the worst shooting in modern u.s. history. [ gunfire ] just minutes ago, the fbi released a new full transcript of the orlando terrorist's 911 call. earlier, the fbi released a partial transcript of the conversations between authorities and the killers. that original transcript omitted references to isis. and that's now changing course after major backlash. the fbi releasing the fuller transcript. the orlando terrorist called 911 and was described as speaking in a, quote, chilling, calm and deliberate manner moments after opening fire. the terrorist claimed credit for the massacre saying, "i'm in orlando and i did the shootings." despite the release of the transcript, a lot of questions still remain because several long phone calls with police have not been and might never be made public. let's now bring in cnn justice correspondent pamela brown. pamela, after taking heat over the initial censoring of the isis reference in the transcript, t

i'm jake tapper. so what happened? why did our friends across the pond vote to leave the european union? is there anything that may be a precursor for what might happen in november in this country? let's bring in our panel of experts to discuss just what went on in the uk vote. chief national correspondent christiana amanpour and in the studio, lord malik brown, former uk minister. thanks for joining me. christiane, i'll start with you. a sense of shock from around the world. put this in perspective. for americans, what was the driving factor? immigration? >> i think it was immigration. basically, they were told that all of your problems are because of the european union, the bureaucrats who bombarded the public with saying that's the problem to all that is going wrong in your country and, by the way, the foreigners are the problems as well. the next day, the morning after, we're being told that they are going to wake up to find that this wasn't a referendum on immigration policy and that may or may n

and what i saw jake tapper go through today on cnn, it made my heart hurt.ause he was so tied up in knots. wanting to confront the man, and yet the best he could do was use the sort of journalistic language that rendered him i believe relatively impotent. and it made me sad. >> i'm going to respectfully disagree. i think you're right, within the confines of the genre, the restraints, he did an excellent job today. mr. garfield, thank you for joining us. >> thank you for ruining another one of my friday nights. >> that is it for "all in." "the rachel maddow show" begins right now. >> we have not begun to ruin friday nights. there's a lot more rumination ahead. thanks for staying with us for the next hour. we're not going to ruin your friday night. in fact, happy friday. in today's news, we learned that yesterday was not an awesome day for the highest-ranking republican in washington, d.c. to decide to finally come out and endorse his party's nominee for president. whatever happened leading up to yesterday to make house speaker paul ryan suddenly decide that h

i'm jake tapper. breaking news in our national lead. deadly gunfire on a college campus that started with the report of an active shooter and then, of course, the inevitable lockdown. scenes such as this one, students using equipment, classroom equipment to barricade themselves into the room. posting photographs on social media as police spanned out across the 400-acre campus as they found two people dead. stephanie elam is at ucla. is the threat to public safety now over? >> reporter: yes, that's what we understand now, jake. in fact, we're standing out here as students started returning to campus. it was very much deserted for most of the morning as police were searching for potential other people on the loose who may be shooting. it was a murder/suicide. it happened about 10:00 in the morning local time this happened. the campus wasn't reopened until 12:15 or 12:30 or so so people are just coming out and finding out. the police chief saying that the murder/suicide was contained and out of abundance

i'm jake tapper. turning to our world lead, released only to kill again.ort saying about a dozen former prisoners released from guantanamo bay returned to afghanistan and killed americans, including an innocent civilian. let's bring in cnn chief national security correspondent jim sciutto. this is what some people fear most about president obama, is to shut down gitmo, releasing the most terrorists, which are the ones who are left. >> it's an enormous risk. they were released during the bush administration but it has a clear impact on president obama's nearly 8-year-old promise to close guantanamo bay completely. at least 18 detainees went on to kill americans, including soldiers, all in afghanistan. they were freed from the notorious guantanamo bay detention center in cuba only to pick up arms once again killing americans overseas. a u.s. official tells cnn that an estimated 15 freed gitmo detainees all released before 2009 went on to attack americans in afghanistan. a number of americans killed in those attacks is in the single digits. the threat was fir

we just saw jake tapper's interview. very tough questions. >> but negative for him converts to positive. you think and the people he's calling sleazy think it's negative. but it's not negative. because we're talking about him. because you let him talk. so he is able to use the media in such a way to speak to people who are not interested in politics. >> you came away thinking he's not that interested in politics either. >> i don't think he's interested in politics at all. >> maybe that's a very wise position. >> obviously. certainly most people -- i think most people -- not most people, a -- we understand that there is a portion of the electorate which has heard about policies, policies, policies and no longer believes in that. no longer believes those policies are getting them what they want. therefore, they now have the opportunity -- i mean, we've heard about this. people inside the beltway, people are sick and tired of politicians. we've had other politicians who have said, i'm an outsider politician. but now we have

i'm jake tapper. hillary clinton tried to eviscerate donald trump's greatest campaign strength his perceived business acumen. >> we cannot put a person like this with all his empty promises in a position of power over our lives. we can't let him bankrupt america like we are one of his failed casinos. >> clinton is hoping to exploit any potential weaknesses in her rival after an unsteady few weeks in his campaign and now the businessman finds himself lagging behind hillary clinton in how much money their campaigns have in the bank what's called cash on hand. he's behind her to the tune of $40 million. we've got reporters covering both presidential campaigns this afternoon. we're going to begin with cnn's senior white house correspondent jim acosta. he's live outside trump tower. jim, mr. trump trying to regain the offensive this week turning the focus back on his democratic opponent. >> reporter: that's right, jake. donald trump is working in overdrive trying to reassure republicans that he is running

here is jake tapper with what you need to know. >> reporter: this is america's libertarian moment.ight be a libertarian even if you don't know it yet. >> help me reach out to the majority of libertarian and don't know it. >> reporter: at least the libertarian presidential candidate hopes you'll vote that way. in their campaign, former governors johnson from new mexico and bill weld from massachusetts are casting themselves as outsiders. and johnson's style is a bit more like the stoner professor you had in college than a traditional candidate. >> i think you're too freaky to be a president. >> i think he is a fringe candidate, you want to know the truth. >> reporter: there may be an opening, the two major party candidates are the least liked in modern history. libertarians earning support from 9% of registered voters in a recent poll. more than any third party candidate in recent open elections. >> no excuses, libertarians. >> reporter: the libertarian party was established in 1971, despite a relatively high profile presidential run by congressman ron paul in 1988, libertarians str

"state of the union" with jake tapper is on now. >>> good morning, i'm jake tapper in washington with breaking news, specifically a horrific massacre in florida. police say that some 20 people are dead and 42 injured, after a mass shooting at a gay nightclub in orlando. the special fbi agent in charge says there are suggestions the suspect may have had leaningings toward radical islamic terrorism, although nothing is definitive yet. police released the first details a short time ago. >> the suspect is dead. he appeared to be carrying a rifle, an assault type rifle and a handgun, and had some type of device on him. >> the incident started around 2:00 this morning eastern time, shortly after the nightclub posted this message on its facebook page "everyone get out of pulse and keep running." pulse is the name of the nightclub. police now say an officer responded and there was a shoot-out outside the club. the gunman then ran inside and a hostage situation began. about three hours later about 5:00 a.m. eastern police used an armored vehicle to knock down the door and enter the club. they

hello i'm dana bash in for jake tapper where the state of the union is in mourning. it has been a somber week in orlando, funerals for the 49 killed at the horrific attack at pulse nightclub. two sheriffs deputies were injured escorting one of the processions hit by what police call an impatient driver. orlando is expected 20,000 people to march in a candlelight walk tonight following a memorial service for the victims. the justice department says tomorrow they'll release a time line and limited transcript of the conversation between the killer and police. this as authorities continue to try to piece together a picture of the murderer's last moments and his own motivations. >> the investigation is ongoing, but we know that the killer was an angry and disturbed individual who took in extremist information and propaganda over the internet and became radicalized. during his killing spree, he pledged allegiance to isil, a group that's called on people around the world to attack innocent civilians. >> and with me now here is attorney general loretta lynch. thank you so mu

she tells our jake tapper this. >> i've said many times and as senator sanders has said, we both are going to do everything we can to prevent donald trump from getting anywhere near the white house. >> and meanwhile bernie sanders about to speak to a crowd in california. we're going to keep an eye on that for you tonight. you're looking at live pictures right now. but we want to begin with a very feisty day in trump. joining me now, a quartet of cnn's finest. you like that, right? jim acosta is with us. grew griffin, gloria borger and mark preston. i shouldn't say quartet. >> i'm a tenor. >> knights of the round table. >> and acosta is a beauty. speaking of, let's listen. he's been feisty from the beginning. >> a little bit, yeah. >> but today he took a swipe at you. let's listen to this. >> to follow up on that, you keep calling us the dishonest press, the disgusting press. >> generally speaking. that's 100% true. go ahead. >> i disagree with that sir. it seems as though you're resistant to scrutiny, the kind of scrutiny that comes with running for president of the united states. >>

last week he told jake tapper u.s.curiel is biased because of his mexican heritage. he's mexican, i'm building a wall, is how trump put it. he said latinos and hispanics will support him in november. >> i think i'm going to do very well with latinos or hispanics. i employ thousands of latinos. i've employed over the years thousands of mexicans. they're great. they're great. i deal with them. i sell apartments. i deal with them. >> so, to recap, trump says having mexican heritage makes judge curiel biased against him. at the same time he expects to do well among hispanic and latino voters. how many does trump actually need to win? john king is here to break it down by the numbers. how risky are these comments about trump for him? >> reporter: in a word, anderson, very. very risky. here is the map from the 2012 campaign. president obama wins only 51% to 47% in part because of huge support among latinos. the fastest growing constituency in american politics but even bigger in 2016. 27 million latinos or hispanics eligible

in fact jake tapper asked hillary clinton about that today. jim, thanks very much. reaction now from the national spokeswoman for the trump campaign. this press conference is fascinating to watch and interesting on a number of reasons. but one of the things donald trump said is that he did this thing and obviously any amount of money donated to veterans charities is a great thing and he gave millions of dollars of personal money as well but he seemed to take issue with the reporters asking where did the money go? shouldn't reporters ask those questions. >> they should but i think the bigger question here is why is it so lopsided. the question on donald trump is 24/7 and we don't see any questions to hillary clinton over the clinton foundation. this event was put together in 4 hours and these were pledges that were made. so of course it took time to bring that money in and get that money allocated and get these charities vetted and get that money disbursed. the headline on cnn is trump admits he didn't raise $6 million. this is the type of bias that happens in the me

mitch, i don't know if you heard me, jake tapper here with cnn.e. >> reporter: okay. >> mitch, can you hear me? it is jake tapper with cnn. >> we're having problems with his cell phone, evan. let me bring you back in. how do they determine whether or not a specific terrorist zroup responsible for an attack like this? do they wait for a group to claim responsibility? >> you do all of those things, but one of the things happening right now, the u.s. intelligence committee is looking at communications. you look to see what communications there might have been, if somebody made a phone call, you can try to look and see who they were communicating with. that might give you an indication if there was somebody. >> thank you. more on this breaking news out of istanbul in "the situation room" stay with cnn. of a trip to athens, greece. you accidentally booked a flight to athens, georgia. with travelocity, there's no fee to cancel or rebook most flights within 24 hours. travelocity® wander wisely™ >>> happening now, breaking news. a turkish official says tw

and of course, the notion as jake tapper was getting at, that a judge would be biased merely becausef his heritage would be unlikely to persuade any reviewing body. so it's an extremely -- he's really going out on a limb here. >> take a look at donald trump at a rally this week speaking on this issue. roll it. >> i have a judge who is a hater of donald trump, a hater. he's a hater. he is the judge who happens to believe is mexican, which is great. i think that's fine. >> you've just written this book on justice brandice. let's carry to conclusion where trump's logic if i can use that word takes us. it would mean that an african american couldn't preside in a case concerning discrimination or in a child kus by case i could say remove her, she's biased against me. >> in his confirmation hearings there were words of accusing him of being unscrupulous. but no one suggested that because he was jewish he couldn't rule on cases involving jews. it's an unusual claim that if you are a member of a particular race or earthnicity you're bias. >> if i as an attorney could not make extra judicial

she continued her critique with her own jake tapper >>well, i think the speech yesterday was an attempte everything he has said, what he proposed he would do, which viola violates republican and democratic agreement about how to be strong in the world, how to present ourselves, how to protect our allies and our friends, how to take on our rivals where necessary. and i'm happy to my record up against his, you know, comments, his rants, and his outright lies any time. >> there was some ugly images on the tv screens yesterday. reprehensible assaults and attacks by anti-trump protesters against people who support donald trump. do you condemn the violence? what is your message to people who are protesting donald trump? >> i condemn all violence in our political arena. i condemned it when donald trump was inciting it, and congratulatiing people who were engaging in it. i condemn it by those who are taking violent protests to physical assault against donald trump. this has to end. he set a very bad example. he created an environment in which it seemed to be acceptable for someone running for p

jake tapper that is sort of definition of racism. anybody who is a member of minority group can understand that. as the definition of racism. it riles them up. >> completely disagree with that. >> it will turn out the vote in even higher -- secondly. one more thing. his lawyer,. >> out of line. >> if donald trump's lawyers actually believe this was conflict of interest, then they would have asked the judge to recuse himself. they have not done that because they know this is just donald trump blustering. this is not actually -- deirdre: what about to tammy's point he is fighter, he is businessman. this is why a lot of people like him because they feel like he is going to fight for american citizens? >> yeah. that is the best case that one can make for donald trump is that he does like to fight and they should, they should hope that is best hope they can have he will be fighting on their behalf. however, throughout the course of this campaign you've seen him take issue with lots and lots of different people, whether it is disabled, whe

can't hear the lawsuit about trump university because of his mexican heritage, today speaking with jake tapperor a conversation sunday on "state of the union" trump said he is flat out mexican. >> he is proud of his heritage. >> you're saying he can't do his job because of it. >> look, he is proud of his heritage. okay? i am building a wall. i am going to do well with hispanics because i'm going to bring back jobs, they're going to get jobs right now. i think i'm going to do well with hispanics but we're building a wall. he is a mexican. we are building a wall between here and mexico. >> just to be clear, judge curiel is not mexican, there's more that donald trump might or might not know that people should. we have details from randy kay. >> reporter: long before judge gonzalo curiel became a target for donald trump, he was targeted by a mexican drug cartel. 1997 curiel was still a federal prosecutor when u.s. marshall -- in prison told an inmate he was authorized by his bosses to have curiel killed. the hit reportedly approved by cartel chief felix, one of mexico's most powerful drug lords. c

i'm jake tapper. two major developments showing the divisions not only within our world of politics but in our nation. first, at the u.s. supreme court in what will be the biggest blow ever to president obama's agenda. in a one-sentence deadlock ruling, justices blocked president obama's executive actions on immigration. and then at the u.s. capitol, a block away in an extraordinary show of defiance, or depending on your point of view, a publicity stunt, after more than 25 hours, democrats ended their sit-in on the floor of the house calling for a vote on gun control legislation. the protests coming, of course, in the wake of the orlando terrorist attack that left 49 people dead. let's start at the u.s. capitol with cnn's sunlen serfaty. house speaker paul ryan did not agree to bring up any gun control measure to the floor for a vote. but still, this push largely by democrats to try to block those on the terrorist watch list from purchasing firearms legally, that will almost certainly be a campaign is

. >> reporter: clinton telling cnn's jake tapper after tuesday's contest she's pushing for party unity. >> i expect senator sanders to do the same. we will come together and go to the convention in a unified way. >> reporter: but bernie sanders argues clinton's super delegates shouldn't be counted just yet. >> hillary clinton will not have the requisite number of pledged delegates to win the democratic nomination at the end of the nominating process. the democratic national convention will be a contested convention. >> reporter: vowing to take his campaign all the way to the convention, he is banking on delegate-rich california to give him momentum. sanders even elevating his attacks on clinton sunday saying the foreign government donations to the cleinton foundation are conflict of interest. >> do i have a problem with the clinton foundation? when a sitting secretary of state and foundation run by her husband collects many millions of dollars from foreign government, governments which are dictatorships, do i have a problem with that? yeah, i do. >> you think it creates an appearance o

. >> he told jake tapper over and over again i want to build a wall. he's a mexican. his point is very clear. yours is very -- >> he belongs as i said to you to a bar association that said all trump properties should be boycotted. >> donald trump didn't say that. you're saying that. donald trump said mexican. donald trump was latching on mexican. he's not mexican. he's american. he's an american citizen. >> of course he's american. >> donald trump doesn't say that. >> what i am trying to say to you is is that we have so divided this country -- >> i get you're saying that but that's not what donald trump is saying. donald trump doesn't even know that. >> in jeffry's defense this is a difficult job. almost no one has -- >> he's very skilled, but sometimes you just have to say the guy was wrong. the guy was wrong. >> it is not wrong to call out racism. >> we all agree on that. >> good. >> we all agree on that is. >> one at a time. >> can you explain to me when you say that donald trump backed into -- this is through the looking glass for me because i really don't underst

jake tapper with me as well.think it should come as any surprise that the fact the president spoke this way a day after donald trump made some rather controversial, shall we say, comments about the president and his refusal to use the phrase radical islamic terror. >> i think he was addressing more than what donald trump has said about the president's reluctance to use that term, although he did explain his reluctance and should note early in his bush, he was also reluctant. he thought it gave terrorists the battle they were looking for, islam versus the west and didn't want to give the credibility as well as not alienate muslim americans and allies part of the war on terror. although, president bush did start saying islamo-fascism. the orlando shooting and committed his heinous act and then talking about exacting a price on isis in syria but then he turned to what seems to be, in his mind, in the president's mind, i wouldn't say a greater threat to the united states but a threat in the president's view which is

this is to jake tapper. >> the idea that i can snap my fingers and have millions of supporters kind ofch in line, that is not what our effort is about. i think if i am not the nominee, and we're going to fight to become the nominee, it is secretary clinton's job to explain it to those people. why she should be -- why she should get their support. >> ben, how do you think he's using this? i mean, do you think this is something where he's saying, look, you know, you can't snap your fingers, make the supporters go over for clinton. or is that the dominant message here? or is this kind of a back message, if you would, to clinton herself and her team, that, look, you know what? you guys still have some work to do in terms of getting onboard with my progressive message, before i fully give my support. >> i think senator sanders is just being real here. he's already committed to doing everything he can to keep donald trump away from the nuclear codes. but the fact is, as he know better than anyone, his campaign hasn't ultimately been about him. there have really been two primaries going on, o

i am jake tapper. we just got a statement from donald trump. we are going to go live to our reporter on the scene, sarah murray, to tell us what the statement says. i believe it is about the judge. sarah. we are not ready for sarah yet. we're going to bring that to you in a second. but let us take a moment, exactly eight years to the day after ending her first bid for the white house, hillary clinton tonight will declare she has enough delegates to be the democratic party's presumptive nominee for president. we now have sarah murray. let's go to sarah murray to tell us this breaking news from the trump campaign. sarah, what does the statement say? >> reporter: you guys -- jake, it's a pretty lengthy statement. so stick with me. i'll come with the first part here. it is unfortunate that my comments -- this is from donald trump. it is unfortunate that my comments have been misconstrued as a categorical attack against people of mexican heritage. i am friends with and employ thousands of people of mexican and hispanic descent. the american justice
