sandy hook. can they win if the act of protection, the plca, this protection act is in place right now in effect gives gun manufactures these protections against lawsuits of this type? >> excellent and profoundly important question. the reason i have introduced legislation to eliminate that immunity, i am the introducer of that legislation and we have cosponsors and including my colleagues from connecticut is that the judge's ruling is as good step. but, it will not give many others of the kind of day in court they need and deserve. this is a unique immunity for this one industry is entirely undeserved and unfounded. it is unfair and i believe has to be reversed ultimately. the sandy hook families may have their day in court. i hope they will and i supported them from day one. >> senator, we appreciate you coming with us today, thank you very much for your time. >> coming up right here, can the stop trump movement pick up steam at the rnc conference, it is happening right now. we'll take you live

this all happened in the same town as sandy hook elementary. police have arrested jason adams and have charged him with possession of a weapon. this morning he's on adm administrative leave from that middle school. you may remember in 2012 a man shot 20 first graders and six teachers at sandy hook elementary in newtown. >>> back here at home the pico building is honoring the national champion the villanova wildcats. the message board will continue scrolling the message congratulating the winners through saturday morning. you know you've made it when you get your picture on the front page of the "daily news" and the inquire r and you get the pico sign. >> villanova has canceled all school tomorrow so they can attend the parade. >> like they had to officially do it. they'll make one-day passes available for students, faculty,

love, the sandy hook principal's daughter.ould you like to say, erica, to sanders in regards to his comments, if you were able to talk to him face-to-face? >> i think that the families do deserve an poll gee. i think that his response to the tweet and the articles following were despicable, at best. it's really families from the sandy hook school shooting, as well as the aurora shooting that are calling on him for an apology. it's not hillary clinton. so it's shameful that he responded to our request for an apology with political attacks against hillary clinton. >> so sanders' campaign spokesman michael briggs did issue this statement after his remarks. and part of this is what you're alluding to. he wrote in part, sanders supports president obama's efforts to end gun violence. he voted for the legislation considered by the senate after sandy hook. he has a clear and consistent record on the issue. you say that's not enough. what do you want to hear from him? >> i don't think that that's entirely accurate. on the morning of de

it was the loved ones who perished at sandy hook. senator sanders is lashing out at secretary clinton because he is being held accountable to comments he made to "the daily news." >> family member of the principal of sandy hook called on senator sanders to apologize for his support that gun manufacturers should not be sued. he then called on hillary clinton to apologize to the families of victims who died in the iraq war. those people who are enthusiastic about senator sanders' message, she needs those supporters. how do you unify if she is going to go on to be the nominee? >> i'm hopeful that reasonable minds will prevail today and that the senator -- senator sanders and his campaign will wake up this morning, look at the headlines and realize they went too far yesterday. and i'm hopeful and cautiously optimistic that senator sanders will take back his words. i do think that at the end of this, senator sanders will do the right thing and that he will urge his supporters to make sure we elect a democrat in 2016. of course, that is wh

. >> the sandy hook families who say you should apologize for your position? >> i would say that i think it is, we all are aware of what haened in sandy hook. it is a tragedy beyond comprehension. but maybe secretary clinton might want to apologize to the families who lost their loved ones in iraq. >> reporter: later he suggested new yorkers might not like their former senator that much. because she is only 10 points ahead of him in the polls. >> in my homtae ste where the people know me pretty well, i got 86% of the vote. maybe that should tell the people of this country something about when people know you best. how they feel about you. >> reporter: those kinds of personal digs worry some democratic officials who say that sanders is doing more damage to the likely democratic nominee even as his own path the nomination tlinings. sanders quest for the democratic h charlie rose. >> let me talk about the issue of qualifications to be president. you said secretary clinton isn't qualified. she takes super pac money and supported trade deals. >> clinton questions w

do you want to respond to the senator's response to sandy hook and iraq? >> i think that was an unfortunate to tell you the truth. the person who was one of the sandy -- the family member of a sandy hook victim who said they would like to see an apology and actually hillary clinton has not only apologized for her vote on iraq, she said it was a mistake and actually a month or two ago senator sanders was asked if his vote, support of gun manufacturers liability was a mistake and he said no. i think he's trying to compare a couple l of different things. seemed a little testy there but that's all right. this is new york. that's how we roll. it's rough and tumble. >> is the rough and tumble, is that your expectation for the next two weeks here? >> yeah, why not? >> i agree. look, i have no problem -- it's not -- >> i was born in new york. look, as long as -- here's what i would say, though. i think it's important that this continue to stay focused on the issues and i think it has. i mean, even the clips that you showed from this morning where hillary was respo

that is why the victims of sandy hook have called for an apology. this is another one of those false attacks, similar to when he accused her of taking money from oil and gas companies, which was another thing fact-checked by multiple independent authorities. the sanders campaign is getting increasingly desperate, flailing, because in spite of the recent victories they've had, the delegate math remains daunting. they should be focused on trying to win support here in new york. new york is a must-win for them. do or die for the sanders campaign in new york. >> why do you say die or die in new york? he has won last seven of the eight last contests. >> the size of our delegate lead now is well above 200. in order to erode that delegate lead, he needs to win and win big. and the four biggest contests left. the first is new york. some 200-plus delegates at stake in new york. that is one of the best last best opportunities for him to eat into the lead we have. if he can't do it new york, no basis to think he can do in california. we'll know in april if san

he voted for the legislation considered by the senate after sandy hook. he has a clear and consistent record on the issue. hillary clinton on the gun issue, also saying in that same statement, quote, secretary clinton, meanwhile, has shifted her espous position on guns from campaign to campaign. as a senate candidate in new york, she favored strong limits on guns and gun ownership as a presidential candidate in 2008. however, she posed as someone who was so gun friendly that then-senator barack obama compared her to annie oakley. it's hard to know where she stands today. >>> speaking of guns and sandy hook, a newtown, connecticut science teacher was arrested today for allegedly bringing a gun in to school. police say a guard at the newtown middle school spotted the firearm on 46-year-old jason adams. adams did have a permit for the pistol but it's illegal to have a gun on school property. adams has been charged with possession of a weapon on school grounds. he's also been placed on administrative leave. new york's richest apartments. uber wealthy resident

quote, bernie's sandy hook shame.or opposing victims of sandy hook families from suing gun manufacturers. a daughter of one of the victims of the sandy hook shooting, whose mother was the principal at sandy hook tweeted, shame on you, bernie sanders. try living one our of our lives. love the sandy hook principal's daughter. joining me now, nina turner who has endorsed and campaigned for senator sanders. thank you for joining us again. >> thanks, tamron. >> so, bernie sanders said about the daily news, he says do i think the victims of a crime with a gun should be able to sue the manufacturer? is that your question? no, i don't. he then went on to say, but i do believe gun manufacturers and gun dealers should be sues when they know the guns are going into the hands of wrong people. is that enough of a clarification on this in your opinion as a supporter, but also obviously as someone who has advocated for stricter gun laws and some changes to save lives potentially in this country? >> well, tamron, i certainly was not

secretary clinton out with a really moving new ad that features the daughter of a sandy hook victim. erika will be here at this round table later on today. this is an issue that allows secretary clinton to argue that she is actually stronger when it comes to taking on the gun lobby. she's been slamming senator san sanders for opposing legislation that would allow to sue gun manufacturers. this is an issue they have gone back and forth about quite a bit on debate stage. it's one of the few points where she can say she's further to the left than senator sanders. the fact that she is making such an aggressive play here in connecticut, underscores that the clinton campaign not leaving any stone unturned. you just mapped out the broader picture. the fact that secretary clinton could clinch this nomination by the middle of may but the sanders campaign arguing they still have a path, look, in order for them to still have a path, he has to win states like connecticut and states like connecticut by huge margins. and what we're effectively seeing in secretary clinton being here today, she's tr

because i thought that assault weapons, the kind of weapon used at sandy hook should not be sold.iew. that was my view then and it is my view now. i don't think we should be playing politics with a tragedy, a horrific tragedy of that dimension. so i am doing everything that i can right now and i believe that i'm in a very good position to do it. >> reporter: even something of a personal way of looking at the sandy hook tragedy, although i did go on to press him to say directly whether or not hillary clinton was playing politics with sandy hook victims, he would not go quite that far. >> thank you very much for joining us from philadelphia. >>> i'm joined now by the washington bureau chief and political analyst and the head of the community and con at the present time for side wire and co-author of hrc, state secrets and the rebirth of hillary clinton. david, this is a new campaign tonight. >> it certainly is a new tone and i think it just shows you that it's very hard to sustain cordiality when tlhere's a lot f competition. there are polls that show that bernie sanders may be gett

cbs news has quoted, asked bernie sanders about calls for him to apologize to sandy hook victims. he said maybe hillary clinton should apologize to iraq war victims. this is getting rough. >> yeah i think this is a horrible mistake, the victims of the iraq war, right. sandy hook families are not a political play, a political pawn to be thrown around in this kind of casual way, and i just don't think it's smart for him to double down on his opposition to the sandy hook families ability to contest a case in court. but being on the opposite side of those families as they try to be made whole, and throwing away casual references. >> okay, senator, you worked with bernie sanders, here is your chance to tell us something we don't know. the question is, does he know what he is talking about, i'm going to get rid of big banks, how are you going to do it. he made this vague reference to dodd frank, but he didn't seem to have thought through, he didn't see to have thought through how to do the one thing that most young people especially like the sound of, which is getting the big banks down

bernie's sandy hook shame. an interview in "the daily news" where he said to the question should the families of the sandy hook first graders be able to sue the gunmakers and he said no. that's why he gets the headline in a big new york newspaper at a time when he is coming to new york for the delegate contest. can he beat this down? can he do okay in this state against the former new york senator hillary clinton. >> this this is a welcome back home, bernie sanders. he likes to talk about how he was born in brooklyn and lived in new york city for 18 of his first years of life here. this is not a surprise to him. it is sending a signal or raising a flag this is a new, tough contest, a ruffin and tumble contest for the the next two weeks. look, all of the issues here that have been playing out are going to be playing out again on a bigger, louder stage. the issue of guns -- the clinton campaign believes is one of the biggest issues to use against bernie sanders. it takes on a new meaning here in new york. the san

sandy hook is the worse thing i can imagine. by the way i have worked to ban assault weapons -- the very weapon i understand was used in that terrible slaughter of children. i worked to ban it and now i'm being asked to apologize -- you know. >> rose: this is from the "new york daily news" sandy hook shame. the same newspaper that was protecting and defending new yorkers when president ford essentially said new york drop dead. this is the same newspaper. does it bother you? >> of course it bothers me. sandy hook is almost unspeakable that some sick person can walk into a school and do that. you're looking at a man who ran for the united states congress in 1988. one seat in vermont. i was opposed by all the gun people. do you know why, charlie? i said maybe we should not sell and distribute weapons signed to kill people in the united states. to be attacked with a d-minus voting record from the nra -- yes, of course i don't like that. >> rose: on the iraq question, do you believe it even though you say you said it because you'd be

take a look. >> my mom was the principal of sandy hook school.he was murdered trying to protect the children in her care from a gunman. no one is fighting harder to reform our gun laws than hillary clinton. she is the only candidate that has what it takes to take on the gun lobby. >> now, that same woman has criticized bernie sanders saying that he owes her and the other sandy hook families an apology because he voted for the legislation that shielded the gun industry from lawsuits. do you agree? do you think senator sanders owes the families of sandy hook, your constituents, an apology? >> look, i think he's wrong. i have said many times, he's dead wrong on this particular issue. you know, the gun industry is treated differently than every industry in america. we are a pharmaceutical state. pharmaceutical industry spent billions of dollars to develop new products to save people's lives and they are not protected from lawsuits when they make a mistake. but somehow somebody got it in their head, the rna and gun industry, that they should be protec

one woman whose son committed suicide just shortly after the murders in sandy hook. another husband and wife who had lost a encloses friend in a mass shooting. but many of the individuals who were there were simply there because they had children who were in school and they knew that but by the grace of god it could be their child. i've got a first grader i drop off every morning to school. i know there is nothing different about my school, my child's school than sandy hook elementary school. i think about nicole hockley every morning when i drop off my seven-year-old who said she never imagined it would be her. and she doesn't know why more parents don't step up and try to do something about this before it's their child. the second thing i was struck by was their experience along the road. they noted over four years they haven't run into almost anybody who disagreed with their mission, who gave them a hard time about their advocacy. and that's really not surprising given the fact that there is broad consensus in the american public as to what we should do. there rea

i would love for the soto family from sandy hook to be in the room with me. uld love to be with sandy and lonnie phillips in that room. and really just sit down and ask him where exactly do you stand on this, because you're wobbling back and forth. it's like he's teetering, you know, from one side of the issue to the other. and, you know, consistently saying that he doesn't support what the families are trying to do, but then in his very next sentence, he'll say, well, in this particular case, then that might be okay. >> well, let me just spell it out a little bit for viewers. basically with this lawsuit involving some of the sandy hook families, they're suing the gun manufacturer, suing the people who sell the gun, essentially arguing the military grade weapon used to murder your mother and these first graders should never have been sold to a civilian. senator sanders has said, as he repeated last night that a gun store owner shouldn't be held liable saying, you know, this lawsuit would set a precedent, it would go after mom and pop shops. but of course, you

this is what's at the center of this trial around the sandy hook issue. says it was a mistake and comes back, it's a non-issue, they can move on. the fact they are parsing answers is hurting them and continues to do so. >> alex, let's talk about the pivot that the sanders campaign does make, really sort of asking hillary clinton to answer for some things as well. this is bernie sanders talking to nbc's andrea mitchell about the gun issue and this is his pivot. take a listen. >> i would ask secretary clinton to tell us all about the legislation that she introduced when she was a member of the united states senate on gun reform, on gun safety. i don't believe there were any. and ask her why way back in 2008 when she was running against then senator obama, he referred to her as annie oakley because she criticized him for not being sensitive to second amendment needs. >> alex, to that point, back in 2008 when hillary clinton faced very different electoral circumstances and a different constituency against barack obama, she did sort of do the annie oakley thin

try living one hour of our lives." >> we have got to do... >> what do you say to sandy hook familiesho say you should apologize for your position? >> i would say that i think we all are aware of what happened, and sandy hook is a tragedy beyond comprehension. but maybe secretary clinton might want to apologize to the families who lost their loved ones in iraq or secretary clinton might want to apologize to the millions of workers in this country who lost their jobs because of the disastrous trade agreements that she supported. >> reporter: the clinton campaign says that new york is a must-win state for you. do you think you can really beat her on her home turf? >> that's an interesting point. in my home state where the people know me pretty well, i got 86% of the vote. last poll i saw here, and we are closing the gap, she was ten points ahead. i think we have an excellent chance to win. >> reporter: the clinton camp insists the sanders' winning streak is over now that the race is moving on to larger, more diverse states, but, scott, nobody told this crowd in philadelphia. the line th

we were talking about the weapon that killed the children in sandy hook. there's banned assault weapons, but where we are today, is we have a broken criminal justice system. we have more people in jail than any other country on earth. in my view, what we have got to do is rethink the system from the bottom on up, and that means for a start -- we don't talk about this. the media doesn't talk about it. you've got 51% of african-american kids today who graduated high school who are unemployed or underemployed. you know what i think? maybe we invest in jobs and education for those kids, not jail and incarceration. i'll tell you what else. i'll tell you what else i think, and that is we have got -- and this is a difference between the secretary and myself as i understand it. we have got to have the guts to rethink the so-called war on drugs. >> thank you, senator. >> too many lives have been destroyed because people possess marijuana. millions over a 30-year period. that's why i believe we should take marijuana out of the federal controlled substance act. >> th

bernie sanders, sandy hook shame. the same newspaper that had -- protecting and defending new yorkers when president ford essentially said new york, drop dead. the same newspaper -- does this bother? you of course it bothers me. sandy hook is such -- it's almost unspeakable to tell you the truth. that some sick, sick person could walk interest a school and do that. i have done, let me just -- you're looking at a man who ran for the united states congress in 1988. one seat in vermont. i was opposed by all of the gun people. you know why, charlie? because i said that maybe we should not sell or distribute assault weapons designed to kill people in the united states. i lost that election by three points. maybe because i was sloughed off by the gun people. i have a d minus voting record by nra. yes, of course i don't like that. charlie: on the iraq question, do you believe, even though you say you said it, because you had been attacked, do you believe that? sen. sanders: do i believe -- charlie: that secretary clinton is

in this recording they are playing with regard to sandy hook and going after gun manufacturers.o i don't believe you could you should do that. i've also herd him a say hold on a second, i need to see more facts. if you see me that a manufacturer knew its products were going to people who aren't supposed to have them, well then there is a liability. i just don't think they should be sued for simply making guns. which is it and how do you feel about it? >> i think the senator has been clear. he is right now one of the co-sponsors of a bill that's pending in the congress right now to hold gun manufacturers liable? >> he said no they don't -- he said no i don't in answer to the questions. do you think manufacturers should be able to -- >> no i don't. >> he is a co-sponsor. i think his point is this. if that manufacturers knowingly sell their products to folks we know are going to go out and wreak havoc, then they absolutely should be held liable. he's a co-response oesh a bill right he is a father and grandfather. and it pains me that the clinton campaign is using the sandy hook inc

sandy hook was in connecticut. it's just a few miles from new york. it's resonated. this is a big issue. i passed the safe act in new york, which was very controversial, but i believe the smartest gun control law in the country right after sandy hook happened. look, senator clinton knows the politics of new york also. we have rural parts of new york state and i passed a gun control law and i took a political beating for it from upstate new york rural communities so we understand the politics here, but the immunity law for gun manufacturers is an outrage. the only industry in the united states that has immunity by law is the gun manufacturers. remember what happened, at the time gore was running against bush smith and wesson had signed a safe gun agreement to do away with the lawsuits. the safe gun agreement would have changed the way guns were manufactured, designed and distributed. bush said don't sign it because if i win i'll give the gun manufacturers immunity and that's what he did and that's the bill we're talking about. so this to me is the most salient issue t
