the parents are going through. but i don't go around saying to hillary clinton, who voted for the war in iraq, where we lost thousandsf wonderful young men and women, that she should apologize to the families for a war that we never should have gotten into. >> david, your thoughts on that? >> well, you know, he side stepped the question. i don't think this was bernie sanders at his best. he feels, at least within the democratic primary electorate, he is on the losing side of these gun issues. the issue of apologizing or not on any front is irrelevant. i don't expect hillary clinton to apologize for the iraq war. she has said she got it wrong and she made a mistake. i think she waited far too many years to do that, and the mistake can be held against her. i don't care whether she apologizes or not. in that instance, he just seemed too oblivious to the question coming from someone in this personal tragedy and didn't take on the polish and try to flip it against hillary. it was very much a conventional politician's trick. he is trying to run as a guy who is not a politician. i don't think he looked good in that exchange

i know the tough votes, they haven't been under the pressure, i said no to the iraq war. i said no to the so-called patriot act. and i said no to the wall street bailout. in 2004 i went to walter reed hospital, our wounded were coming back from iraq. there was this young man, and he had bandages on his eyes and his legs had been blown off. and he had only one hand. and his mother signaled to me to walk out. i don't know how i'm going to tell him, but when they take those bandages off, he'll have no eyes. you know what really hurts? they are charging him $8 a meal, three times a day, and taking it out of his salary. i went back to the congress, i told my colleagues, i called the secretary of defense, that was a tuesday night and on friday, the pen ta gone had changed its policy. never again would we charge our wounded soldiers in our military hospitals. that is what changes. that is what a united states senator does for all of america. >> hold it right there. thank you, congresswoman. >> you know, america was known as the land of opportunity. and we even had a special name

including the iraq war. but the undercut -- >> that's a fair debate. >> i'm sorry. >> the debate will go on. but i also believe that senator sanders also has issues that many progressives are very uncomfortable with his record. so -- but this underbelly that somehow she should be disqualified simply because of some impairment of her judgment -- >> in the time we have left, let me ask you -- >> people are uncomfortable with that. >> what do you feel about sanders going to the vatican? >> i'm catholic so -- >> i'm a jew. i've not been to the vatican. >> at this time in the race? >> i think it's a fantastic thing and should say to the american people the wonderful thing about bernie sanders. he wakes up every day trying to think about how to change the world. he's said many things about the pope's positions on greed, inequality, we bow down to the free market. i believe in bernie sanders' heart he's going there because he's thinking, man, can i make the pope stand up and -- >> you don't think politics has anythi

, that he was against the iraq war before it was launched in 2003. there are some that dispute that and donald trump did say he was in favor of the iraq war but he continues to main tab he was against it. you'll hear some of that and some of the things we've heard before on the campaign trail. sort of combined together and keep in mind there are pretty controversial topics that donald trump has raised and ideas he's put out there. temporary ban on all muslims coming into the united states and building a wall along the mexican border that would create a diplomtic crisis some critics say and tearing up trade deals with china and so on. donald trump will fit all of that into this foreign policy speech and talked this morning on new day about how his economic policy very much guide his foreign policies so i think we'll hear some of that as well. it was interesting to hear from a member of his national security team a few moments ago that not only is donald trump talking about getting away from obama foreign policy but bush foreign policy as well. he wants

the end. she's supported the war in iraq. she continues to have a hawkish foreign policy which led to the rise and expansion of isis throughout the middle east. >> all of that is fairly standard except for that deal with the devil line. >> she is taking pac money. here's the bottom line. president obama took wall street money. didn't make someone that didn't fight for individuals. number two, jeff weaver on a commercial. our two leading candidates who have the same basic goals. they have the same basic goals should try to accentuate their differences on policy but not get personal and not give the republicans any fodder. >> there are major policy differences. those differences come when you're tethered to the big money we have seen in the country. the policies that are lifted up are narrow. senator sanders shown another kind of politics is possible. the enthusiasm he's brought to this race will be needed. >> i want to respond to that real quick. when hillary clinton was a senator, she took plenty of money from wall street. ye

that the iraq war resonates, if you stand in those crowds, charlie -- the people who were damaged in 2008 and 2009, it is their children, largely, who go to places like iraq. >> people in new york and washington talk about those things as an important public policy. these are deeply emotional, resident, personal things, losing a family member, having a family member wounded, not being able to retire -- these are big, relatively recent historical events that sanders and trump talked to with emotions -- talk to with emotions. >> i've been a lot -- to a lot of sanders events and talked with senator sanders. he is very clear, when he first got into the race, he wanted to prove, more than anything else, that his positions, the arguments he wanted to make were not fringe positions to his great fear was that he would lose very badly and that he would, in fact, do the opposite, that he would be relegated, that the arguments he was making would be consigned to the dustbin of fringehood. that's the exact opposite of what has happened. the democratic party of bill clinton is dead. the party of

, if bernie sanders is saying hillary clinton should apologize to military members who died in the iraq wart that leave a mark on the party or on the candidate who ultimately does emerge? >> we are getting into the yellow zone starting to get into the red zone. we're going to see now. bernie sanders has a challenge. he's got to take the fight to hillary clinton. if he doesn't, she's going to take it to him. hillary clinton saying, welcome to my world. this is new york city. this is new york media. they are tough. i know how to deal with them. you don't. every time you make a mistake, i'm coming after you. he has to say, you don't get a lock on the progressive vote in new york city with your war record. bernie, though, mathematically probably can't get there. if he does too much damage to her and curdles his own supporters so much that they can't turn back to her in the election. his supporters are very young. 2008 the young folks won the older people and hillary clinton. they says we're going with obama because we understand the stakes. a younger demographic may not be willing to accept tha

first of all, the iraq war. well, first of all, actually, we could just make assertions against each other, keep doing assertions all day but i just want to tell you that no one who understands how the eu actually works foreign policy-wise can possibly say that the eu high representative even before there was officially a high representative under the lisbon treaty, does not have power. javier solana before the lisbon treaty had a tremendous amount of power and influence. katherine ashton and fredericka molini, it's simply a fact. the iraq war, i wasn't saying that the eu, i wasn't focusing on the eu there. i was focusing on the ideology of global governance and how the ideology of global governance has hindered the war on terrorism. and referring there, arguing by saying the big conflict was about the idea of whether preventive war is legal and whether u.n. skourt council approval is required for the united states to invade iraq legitimately. and the global governance, many of them in the eu, many of them europe

barack obama, the way that he was able to object to the iraq war? t a hard vote. she actually took a hard vote. actually but it wasn't that hard, based on the information she had, even john kerry voted for it i think she should own it. >> i think you're exactly right, dana. this is the beauty of why donald trump was able to come up better in the town hall. he doesn't have a political record. when you've got a real political record, it is harder. >> i think that's also what worked to president obama's benefit. is he didn't have that war vote on the iraq war. and you know, i listened to her and i'm like, are you running against george w. bush? are you doing the same thing that barack obama did, in two presidential cycles in a row? because that tune has been played and we want to hear something else. you know, donald trump, to your point, ebonebony, he doesn't ha vogt record at all. if he says something anecdotally, he can say that's not how i really felt about something like that. >> bolling, you know what happened to you? >> i got outnumbered. >> but

millions of people marched against the iraq war before it happened. that's historical. lions of people marched against the bailout. millions of people, students, walked out in 2006 against immigration reform. they texted each other and walked out of their high school classrooms. like, we keep seeing these mass movements of people going, "this is not the way things should be done," and it gets ignored. the thousands of people who have been marching across america for bernie, that doesn't get any press covege, because, gil scott-heron said, "the revolution will not be televised." but it's time for it to be televised. and thank you so much for televising it, because we need people to know how beautiful this moment is. no matter what, look at this. this is incredible. and we have a jewish man who's taing about palestine. like, do you know what i'm saying? like, this is a really, really remarkable, huge moment, and we cannot gloss it over. you're doing a disservice to people by doing so. this is something really beautiful. i'm doing this because love trumps hate, not because

the u.s. on the war on terrorism to a crippling regime of international law. one of many examples, the war in iraq. the popular mythology is the controversy over the war centered on the question if there were weapons of mass distraction in iraq. before the invasion, almost everyone, including the french, germans, and russians, believed saddam hussein possessed weapons of mass destruction. the dispute was if a preventive attack was justified under international law and if war could be legitimate with the approval of the eu security council. if the u.s. could do if it thought was -- could do what he thought was necessary to protect its citizens without the approval of the four permanent members of the eu security council. it was a battle of worldviews centered on the authority of supranational governance. they believed the u.s. did not have the right to protect its citizens without a permission slip from russia and china, to put it bluntly. to say nothing of a permission slip from france. people of goodwill disagree on iraq and the combat terrorism and the information on which advance policy decisio

but when you go beyond it, and you look at her support of things like the iraq war, her support for disastrous trade deals, her support for doma, her efforts during the 2008 race to keep the governor of new york from giving drivers licenses to undocumented workers, looking at these things over and over again, there's more there than just the resume. >> you know my erogenous zone, you're hitting it. the problem is this -- >> that's inflammatory. >> don't be sarcastic. you overstate your case. first of all, your candidate, who you've been working for for so many years, saying i'm not questioning her qualifications. it sounds like you are. >> no, it's about judgment. she has a vast amount of experience. she's clearly -- >> you said she only has experience on paper. that's questioning somebody's resume. you're saying the resume doesn't get backed up by experience, real experience. >> no, the resume doesn't get backed up by judgment. that's the problem. >> okay. thank you, jeff weaver. thanks for coming on. >> happy to be here. >> you have a strong voice for senator sanders. i'm joined by another s

his strongest case against her is on things like trade, and the iraq war, where he can say this is myudgment and her judgment. what can a president to you want? for a lot of voters in the state, those are big comparisons. she has her own to make in her favor, but these are strong in his favor. campbell: it feels a bit like helicopter parenting by democratic leaders, finger wagging. mark: bernie sanders made several stops around gotham city , culminating with a big rally in front of a roller coaster at coney island yesterday. the polls show him lagging behind clinton in the empire state. he is trailing hillary clinton poll, outbc news today. his campaign is now saying that new york is not a must win state for him, even though coming into this, a lot of pundits said it was. campbell: i think that they are spinning. he has to win new york if he wants the nomination, but it feels like he needs a big wildcard moment of some kind to change the dynamic. win new york or not win. unexpected is, will hillary clinton make another mistake or gaffe along the way? we don't know. even if he does not

issues like her wall street speech transcripts, on issues like her position on wall street, on the iraq warnator sanders will back off or escalate rhetoric? jeff: this campaign is a comparison between candidates. on the substantive issues, including how people raise money -- how you raise money is a substantive issue that demonstrate commitment to real timing -- real campaign finance reform. he will talk about the differences on fracking, wall street, climate change, minimum wage. those clinton people that say, fine, let him keep running, but he should ramp down the rhetoric that could hurt clinton, you say what? jeff: i have to say what they have seen in this campaign, this is been a mild campaign -- in the event that the secretary becomes the nominee, the kind of firestorm she will face from the republicans will make this look like nothing. jeff, obviously it's true that she would face a lot of criticism from cummins. -- from republicans. the concern is that you are criticizing her on her character, her judgment, suggesting she is not qualified at one point during the new york primary. no

he said because of her vote on the iraq war and wall street, she is not qualified to be president. most people don't believe that, but it fired up supporters. she took the high road. this is how she responded. >> it is a silly thing to say. i'm going to trust the voters of new york who voted for me. twice for senate and once in the presidential primary. look, i don't know why he's saying that. i will take bernie sanders over donald trump or ted cruz anytime. >> reporter: bernie sanders is simply trying to respond to what he called campaign smears from the clinton campaign who plan to question his caqualifcal qualif. she flew to ohio and colorado to fund raise on thursday. >> i will not leave here this morning and go to a wall street fund-raiser. i will not be hustling money from the wealthy and powerful. >> reporter: with the candidates on the campaign trail here in new york, bernie sanders in the city, doing an all-out push for the new york primary 11 days away. how this race goes will shape how the rest of the democratic party goes and if the party will ever unify once this long p

people do not know that we have .hree branches of government a lot of them believe on the eve of the iraq war that saddam hussein was behind 9/11. that the reason we were invading iraq was to take revenge for him having destroyed the world trade center and attacking the pentagon. are a low information voter, which is unfortunately the majority of the american voters low information are more easily manipulated because they do not know enough. if a politician is articulate, enthusiastic, can make a case and connect with you as one person to another person looking through a tv camera -- if i'm excited, passionate, and you are impressed with my passionate enthusiasm, and what i'm saying makes sense, you do not have the toependent basis evaluate my argument and information. you are going with your gut. that is what i argue in my book is a mistake. host: tweeting to you that i respectfully disagree. you cannot read politicians from watching them on tv body language is all telling. guest: body language is important. no question. how fast do we make evaluations of candidates? eyesight in the book --

he said she's not qualified to be president because of all these trade deals, because of the iraq war. that's a variation on what he's been saying all the way along, he's been hitting her for her nor of nafta and that iraq war note. taking it to a more personal level, if you will. i have to say knowing bernie sanders himself there has been all this reporting over the course of the last couple of months essentially saying that bernie sanders has been urged to go negative on hillary clinton, he refused to do t maybe if he had maybe he would have won iowa, maybe he would have done better and been so far behind in the delegates but it's been bernie sanders himself saying i don't want to go there, that's not part of my political brand. so what you can take away from that is that this switch in his stump speech very much driven by the candidate himself. this is a clear indication of his personal frustration with how the clinton campaign is framing this and the fact that he is clearly ready to go there. i think you're seeing as we're ramping up to new york and, boy, it did not take very long

agree to that. >> right. >> the question is has she exhibited judgment on a number of issues -- the iraq wary she funds her campaign with big dollar money, trade deals, are there judgment issues which sort of disqualify her, which is different than being unqualified. right? >> maybe he should have said disqualified. >> i think that more accurately characterizes what he was trying to say. >> was this back and forth? we said on friday reflecting, was this back and forth good for your campaign? >> well, look. i think what was important is after we came out of wisconsin with a big win, right, seven of the last eight contests, i was on cnn on the night of the victory in wisconsin and there was a report the clinton campaign has a new strategy against sanders in new york. disqualify him, defeat him, reunite the party later. well, clearly we were going to come into new york. they were going to sharpen their elbows. it would be rough and tumble from new york and bernie sanders from small vermont was going to be beaten by the head and shoulders and rolled by the hillary organization. that's not going

he kept punching the iraq war and taking the money for speaking fees from goldman sachs. he seemed to want to bring her down by hitting the vulnerable points and like hurting her. he was out to win this fight. he wasn't here just protesting democratic sentrism, he was trying to knock her out. >> the clinton campaign understands at this point that they have to do something dramatic to be able to win not just in new york on tuesday, but to win this election and the kind of fight they were fighting before is just not going to cut it at this point. he has to differentiate himself from secretary clinton on the issues that you just stated and the way he had been approaching it in past debates frankly wasn't working. >> thank you so much for joining us. let's go to ken vogel. the differential between previous and tonight. clearly he was trying to score points again and again. it was like a boxing match. >> yeah. a lot of it is stuff they have litigated in the past. they're clearly going after the -- it's like a fight and it's the same jabs that we're seeing over and over again.

sanders hammering away at clinton over her vote for the iraq war and her ties to wall street banks. joining me is the national press secretary for the democratic national committee. we heard the argument she's not qualified back and forth and then the fwloefs seemed to be on for 24 hours a and then yesterday you have some antics change in sanders language saying judgment is different from qualification. what debate will we see on thursday, calm and polite or a dog fight. >> like every other debate. incredibly substantive. you have seen discussions on health care and the economy. when differences have come up, you have had a respectful, thoughtful conversation which is different from the republican side. where you see insults. >> there are some on the democratic side, too. she is taking money from the wall street banks. she's in their back pocket. personal stuff. >> you have seen it play out in a respectful way. it's not devoevolved in to a lo debate not worthy of the white house. on the republican side you have seen differences that have exploded in a person personal way and that hap
