mr. schultz: i did not see mr. zakaria's show. i try to catch that when i can but miss that particular segment. i believe the president has worked hard to build relationships around the world. that was a priority for him over the past seven years. look at this trip. we would go to vietnam. the first ever trip of its kind where the president will spend three days on the ground, both meeting with the government, the leaders of vietnam and also with the young people, the entrepreneurs, business leaders in order to deepen the ties between the two countries. then he will travel to japan. both of those countries, we have a difficult past with. if you look at the preceding decades, we have built strong relationships. japan is now one of our closest allies in the region. we do a lot of business with them, both in military cooperation, maritime security, economic cooperation. the president is absolutely looking forward to deepening those relationships. those are the fundamental goals of this trip alongside advancing the u.s. national secur

mr. schultz: we should be clear.the senate passed a bill that is $1.1 billion, short of the $1.9 billion public health officials tell us we need. we are encouraged by bipartisan support. it is rare in washington these days that we get a partisan support. we are encouraged by the steps they took, but we do encourage the president's request. i'm happy to walk you through some of the actions we could be taking as soon as that money is allocated. for example, without the funding, vaccine development is getting delayed, diagnostic testing is getting delayed, funding for mosquito control that could slow or even halt, and states do not have the funding they need to fight zika. these are request from governors, james. i will say one more thing. we know at some point there is sayg to be a media -- let's a heightened level of interest in this and what is the federal government doing to respond? when that day comes, i want you to remember the preceding three months of congress in action on this. james: to that point, listening

mr. schultz who theirtz wr saying it might actuall actuallt he lived his whole life on thein west coast heomplainedpl and said why isn't that me? e? everybody kept to themselves tml over all the years. >> president roosevelt wanted s much to know who these men werew and get it out there and help a the efforts, you knowing, of thf war maybe she just thought itt t would be embarrassing to -- t >> the code of honor what cameht into play.into play. >> it could have been a situation where when they were in the heat battle maybe theyayt just didn't recall everythingryh that went on. they probably did so much ando h they were like, okay, it could,o be mow. mow. again, it doesn't really mattert >> don't forget that was aas restaging.ag it was a smaller they restage maybe -- who knowso >> look how many people wereny r lost in that as well theyl probably don't want to put to attention on just six peopleeopl when so many other who's did n not. >> fascinating story though.hou. history continuing to evolvee here in the nation's capital.'st still ahead on good day captain america week continues kevintin

joining us to talk about that is debbie wasserman schultz. mrs. chairwoman, nice to see you. nie sanders wrong? rep. wasserman schultz: he is wrong because we have had these rules in place since 1984 and we have two types of delegates. we have the delegates that are pledged, elected by voters, that represent voters. based on the outcome. then party leaders and other elected officials who have been in the trenches for a long time and have a role in choosing our party's nominee. it is important to note that the unpledged delegates have never played a role in selecting our party's nominee. >> can you explain why he is wrong? i understand the history and the system exists. that he should play by those rules. >> what you mean wrong? >> his critique of the system is that it is stacked so that establishment politicians benefit and insurgent candidacies are disadvantaged. is that wrong on the substance? rep. wasserman schultz: of course, because our party's nominee has never been selected by superdelegates. we have had a nominee -- >> why do you have them? we will take them. we could

mr. speaker. i -- ms. wasserman schultz: wast thank you, mr. speaker. i thank the gentlelady from new york for her leadership on this issue. i join my colleagues in urging congress to vote down this holey -- wholly inadequate legislation and take meaningful action to address the public health crisis, the centers for disease control called scarier than we originally thought. and support the president's request. my home state of florida leads the nation in confirmed cases of the zika virus. with 113 people infected already and counting. florida health officials declared a state of emergency in february. as we head into mosquito season, as well as high travel season, we know the risk of zika will rise. we have seen the heartbreaking images of babies born with microcephaly. as researchers are continuing to learn more about the different ways that zika can be transmitted, it is critical that congress provide the funding needed to thoroughly tackle this virus now. i am proud that we have transcended partisan lines in florida at least. senators nelson and rubi

mrs. lowey, ms. delauro, ms. wasserman schultz, ms. graham, mr. ruiz, everyone, i'd like to thank the march of dimes who is advocating for full funding. the american college of obstetricians and gynecologists. the american academy of pediatrics. why? microreceively. -- microcephaly. it's a brain abnormality linked to the zika virus as are other disabilities where the brain and skull are affected. we're talking about seizures a lifetime of developmental delays including delays in sit, standing, walking, speaking, feeding problems. there's novak seen or treatment for the zika infection. brazil has reported the highest incidents of microcephaly with over 4,000 cases tied to zika. it's also been found in women who contracted zika in colombia, panama, u.s. territories. in fact in the u.s. and u.s. territories alone we have 1,200 cases, 3 of these are pregnant women. two cases of microcephaly. the florida department of health says we have 120 floridians diagnosed with zika, including pregnant women. because there's no cure for the virusing congress must

mrs. ellmers and ms. wasserman schultz. they introduced the trafficking health care act. all these bills were combhined, passed the house, go to the senate, the senate, senatoren and senator widen, came back to the house after it passed the senate, and then signed by the president. also erik paulsen, republican, and representative moore, a democrat, introduced the stop exploitation through trafficking act. joe heck, who is going to be here tonight to testify, speak, from nevada, introduced enhancing services for runaway and homeless youth victims of trafficking. ann wagner, that has been mentioned already, she introduced the save act, mark walker, human trafficking detection act, christie noem, human trafficking prevention, intervention and recovery act, tom marino and karen bass, one republican, one democrat, strengthening child welfare response for human trafficking. joyce beatty, who has spoken here tonight, also worked with ann wagner and also introduced improving response for victims of child sex trafficking act. and sean maloney, introduced the human trafficking pre

wasserman schultz: thank you, mr. speaker. i urge the house to take meaningful action to address the public health crisis that the centers for disease control recently called scarier than we originally thought and support the president's request for supplemental funding for the zika virus as outlined in h.r. 5044, the zeke gentleman supplemental appropriations. i thank my appropriations ranking member, nita lowey, and lee lawyero for their ongoing leadership to help protect our constituents. more than 120 floridians now have the zika virus. including 36 pregnant women. last week, there were an estimated 157 pregnant women in the continental united states, and 122 more in the territories who have contracted zika. the house must take real action to protect our citizens. it is an outrage that we are not adequately responding to the calls of public health officials at the federal, state, and local levels who are clanging the alarm bells, imploring congress to act. last week the house approved the zika bill that is absolutely unacc

mr. weaver's direct allegations that he believes while the dnc has been fair, that chairwoman wasserman schultz has not. >> i was really glad to hear him say they've been nice to the sanders campaign, because that comes from the top. she has asked us to be fair and balanced and to do everything we can to be supportive of both of our campaigns. i've got to tell you, this is my fifth presidential election, two dnc chairs, i've never seen anyone work as hard. i have complete confidence in her leadership. but look, this is not the dnc versus the sanders campaign, and that's important. the dnc is neutral. what we are were speaking out is intimidation, threats, and we would do that on any campaign. i did it on the air again when anti-trump protesters got out of hand at one of his events. what i did appreciate what mr. weaver said, it has to be give unequivocal, if there is grievances, there a process for that. we're happy to engage on that front. you know, this was not a d inc event, and what happened was unacceptable. >> there is a perception by a lot of sanders supporters that the dnc has its pinky

mrs. clinton went through handful of debates tightly controlled by debbie wasserman-schultz and dnc.nders but more on the same page than not. she hasn't had any, she had some competitiontics but in terms of debating she is still relatively rusty. if i were hillary i would want the experience going into debate with donald trump come fall. eric: finally, does that mean she will be ready for trump? >> i think she will be ready for trump. i know some of the people on her debate prep team. they're the best and incredible. donald trump is not disciplined debaters that appeals to people on republican side. not sure how that plays for independents. eric: promises to be a quite a show. >> good ratings. eric: if they all get the nominations. monica, julie, thanks. martha? martha: go to our friend jon scott find out what is happening on "happening now." hi, jon. >> hi, martha. new piece by karl rove out lines which candidate will win the week. will it be hillary clinton or donald trump? >>> drew peterson behind bars for killing his third wife. back in court. how jailhouse recordings could cause

mr. sanders has raised all these important issues, i think that point is right. with regard to chairwoman wasserman schultz she's bungled this from the outset. i said on the show, there should have been more debates. she has every right to declare her support for mrs. clinton, but as party chairman, you have a set of responsibilities. and a strong case can be made that there's no reason to have antagonized sanders' campaign. i think a lot of this could have been resolved earlier on. >> but it's not resolved, because they don't feel like she's even getting closer to where he stands on some of these issues and these -- >> no, we're talking about two different things. i'm talking about the relationship between the dnc and mr. sanders. with regard to what you're saying, mr. sanders is now -- his opponent is now or less delegates away from securing the nomination, so he didn't win. there's a venerable position in politics when you don't win the party, that you sit and talk. and party has a big responsibility in trying to reconcile that. in '88 when jesse jackson was running, a late ron brown came to help and ne

mr. sanders: if you look -- no, i wouldn't describe it, but that's what the american people are saying. whoa. sanders is still in the middle debbiesty spat with wasserman schultz, the party chair. this week, he endorsed her challenger and said he would not keep her as the party leader if he was elected president. clinton did little to quell the tension when she was asked about all that is going on with bernie sanders. ms. clinton: certainly, we are going to talk with him when he is ready to talk, and listen to him. we will take into account what he is asking for. i think that's part of the process. rid of about getting superdelegates? ms. clinton: i am not going to negotiate with him today on your show, but when it is time, i am reaching out to unify the party. i expect him to do the same. i did that when i lost a much closer race to senator obama. mark: in what seemed to be an attempt to calm the waters, the dnc announced it was giving sanders a significant number of spots on the committee that will draft of the platform. seats, sanders gets nearly one third, one less than clinton. do things stand between bernie sanders and the woman he says as may be the les

debbie wasserman schultz will not allow bernie sanders to win, it seems appropriate that i would debate the second-place finisher. dana, if i can ask you, what is behind his thinking here? >> mrtrump always has a strategy behind everything that he does and if he chooses not to debate bernie sanders, he's got a good reason and we know that everything he decides he's going to do as been completely unheard of it. i mean, mr. trump's presidential campaign has been for the record historic, monumental and nothing has been of the norm. so if he chooses not to do it, then that is his choice and there's a good reason behind it and it's a good reason. >> apparently, tana, you don't know the reason, right? and that's because -- >> no, i don't know the reason right now. >> it doesn't make a lot of sense. donald trump suggested this debate. i think it's brilliant. i just wrote about this for cnn.com. this would completely elevate bernie sanders, it would elevate trump, locks hillary out of an important news cycle. there is no reason for either of these guys not to do it so i'm very interested to hear why donald trump decided at the last minute to pull out of this great idea he had. >> wel

mr. trump. martha: i'm curious what you think about what is going on the democratic side here, when you look at the calls for removal of debbie wasserman-schultzrs in california over the weekend saying they want to extend voting. you really have a call to kind of tear it all down and start over again. what do you make of it? >> well, i don't agree with bernie sanders on anything. i know him. i served with him. we didn't get along. i doesn't get along with anybody in the senate and vice versa but he is right when he talks about the democratic primary system being rigged. and so is donald trump. he should run as an independent because the way that debbie wasserman-schultz set it up to give hillary clinton the superdelegates in new hampshire, for example. bernie crushed hillary yet they got the same amount of delegates because of shaheen and hassen with their super delegates neutralizing it. take away the superdelegates it is virtually tied. his hope reason he stays in as we deal with the clinton foundation, email scandal and benghazi more and more coming out these superdelegates will peel off and have a chance at the convention. it is not a bad

mr. jones, nice to see you, my friend. >> hello. >> so bernie sanders is on fire. the chair of the dnc is on fire. i see your eyebrow raise. >> yeah. >> debbie wasserman schultzre watching her last night and did you not like her comments in response to all of this. >> i didn't. look, i've got kids, and sometimes you let your kids get into fight and maybe one is more wrong than the other but both kids usually did something, and that's what happened in nevada. you had the chair, who she wasn't doing the things that a chair should do to make everybody feel heard. >> you're referring to the chair in nevada. >> the chair in nevada. she -- she did stuff that was -- listen, it was he have-handed, some of it didn't seem fair. reality is it wouldn't have changed the outcome. hillary clinton was going to win, but she played it badly. then you had people who overreacted, and then you had a fringe element that really went wrong. if you're the chair, you've got to come out and say, listen, i don't like some of the things i heard about. i'm going to look into that, but you guys can't be acting in a terrible way. if you come out and smash on one side, you lose your ability

mr. trump, do you have any plans to woo bernie sanders supporters who are fed up with the system as bernie sanders is declaring war on debbie wasserman-schultze system is rigged same talking point you used against the republican party before you became the presumptive nominee. your going to try to woo them to your side >> i hear and i look at polls and i hear a lot of those people are coming with us. what i saw, i think it's 38% or something thereabouts in west virginia that if hillary ran in west virginia as an example, i would get 38% of the people that bernie sanders people would come with us. that's a tremendous amount. i mean we would get a tremendous amount of people. but i'm hearing it's in the 30s and maybe it's, you know, i see different numbers obviously for different places. but some of the numbers are very high. a lot of the bernie sanders voters they do not like hillary clinton. they don't respect her. they think she's crooked hillary as i call her. she is crooked hillary. just look at her record. a lot of those people will come with me. one thing i'll say, bernie sanders and me, i'm no fan of bernie sanders but ooh he's right a

schultz is the exception. >> well, lucky for you, kentucky is champions of democracy, we offer great forums throughout the primary process. i see you nodding your head in ascent. >> very appreciated. >> very well done, mrlosing, doing well, but loosing. air do you're down by 3 million votes. don't blame it on the system. your response? >> chris, we've we've competed states, one problem in nevada. we've had great relationships with state parties all across the country. we in one case helped fund the caucuses in a statement party because they didn't have the resources, the clinton campaign refused to help them. we did. you can see there has been a two issues largely in the campaign with the so-called quote-unquote e elites. debbie wasserman schultz and the we've had great relationships with the parties. i'm sure they're going to want to have senator sanders out there helping candidates and raise money. we look forward to have a continuing great relationship with them. there is really two pressure points here, and i think people who are on the other side of this, you know, including the nevada state democratic party which did such an abysmal job with their caucus process. >> when senator sanders is on the
