in to help tim canova win?y that and would caution you that your money does not equal votes and as fernand said, she's popular in her district. i've spoken to a few people, one of them said his dad who lived there used to get very good mailers from the congressional office about how to be prepared for the hurricane season. that's just a small example of the local work she has done on the ground year after year. understand, she has never been opposed except for her first race in the primary. 20 years ago, this is her first primary. it's pretty remarkable. >> how unhappy would you say the florida voters are. florida is clinton country. is there a lot of dissatisfaction with the notion that the dnc has had its thumb on the nail for the clintons? >> when you look at the race, it's been the sanders versus clinton back story. how that transfers we don't know. what's going to happen in florida with the party chair, debbie wasserman schultz, having to think about the election when one the thing that they want to do is

now about the dnc chair's challenger in that congressional district and talk to the man himself, tim canova, thanks for joining me, appreciate it. >> thank you for having any. >> you are the challenger in this primary for the 23rd district florida district for u.s. congress seat. i know that senator sanders asked you to serve on his wall street reform advisory panel in 2011 but tell us more about your relationship with him. why is he so in your corner? >> well, i imagine he sees that i share his progressive agenda. i welcome senator sanders' support for this team. he's been right on an awful lot of issues and we have a similar progressive agenda. i'm a progressive in the tradition of franklin roosevelt and i think there are people in this wing of the party, some people call it the elizabeth warren wing, bernie sanders as well that want the same progressive reforms. >> you're not gunning for debbie wasserman schultz's dnc chairwoman job, but by gunning for this congressional position, if you were to unseat her, it would undermine her authority and leadership authority as dnc chair, right? >>

canova that read, on issues like making tuition free at public colleges and reforming our broken campaign finance system, he is someone you can be proud to support. that's why bernie is endorsing tim'sampaign. canova's campaign then raised $250,000 ever since sanders endorsed him over the weekend. the florida congressional candidate tim canova running against wasserman schultz joins me now from florida. thanks for being with us. >> thank you, kate, nice to be with you. >> let me start by saying she's a well-known figure. she's represented the people of your area since she was 26 years old, either in tallahassee or in washington, d.c. she won her last two real elections, as you know, with 63% of the vote. she has a lot of seniority. she has a high profile as dnc chair. how are you going to be better for the people of south florida than she is? >> well, first of all, i'll say that her popularity is a bit of a myth. when you give numbers like her winning re-election over 60% of the vote, this is a very safely democratic district. like many of the districts in this country, they're either safely democratic or republican. >> well, she won the primaries as well. >> she did not have primar

he threw his support to tim canova. and it is tim canova's campaign to unseat debbie wasserman schultz in her home district, that is the race that sent up the rocket's red glare in democratic politics this weekend. >> you've been calling for a revolution. in florida, are you with wasserman schultz or are you with her opponent? >> well, clearly, i favor her opponent. his views are much closer to mine than is wasserman schultz's. and let me also say this with all due respect to the current chairman, if elected president, she would not be reappointed to be chair of the dnc. >> senator bernie sanders this weekend, taking time off from running for president to throw his support behind the non-gyrocopter guy, trying to unseat the chair of the democratic party from her seat in congress. senator sanders followed that up on sunday afternoon with a appraisering letter on behalf of the non-gyrocopter candidate who's challenging debbie wasserman schultz. tim canova says that fund-raising letter from bernie sanders earned his campai

the opponent that sanders is endorsing is wasserman schultz's primary challenger tim canova. was running begins her, and here's what he said. >> as a constituent i have closely followed her record. i've been very displeased with her record. she's become more and more of an establishment politician. and perhaps it's an impossible task for her, as she's done more and more party business, she's neglected the interests of her constituents. >> thanks to florida's primary calendar, senator sanders could be an asset to canova and a liability for wasserman schultz long after his candidacy comes to an end. take a look at this. in florida, primaries for state and local office are held ten weeks before the general election. this year, that's on august 30th. but that's one month after what's shaping up to be a highly contentious democratic national convention. if sanders and his supporters follow through on their threats not to go down without a fight and that could pose a problem for wasserman schultz, because she'll be defending her seat after sanders has aired his grievances in the br

and unusual move, sanders has backed tim canova. two members of the senate intelligence committee are warning that a new bill would exexpand the fbi's abilility to access amemericans' online e res without t a rrant.t. oregon s senator ronon wyden anw mexico senator martin heinrich say y the 2017 i intelligence authorizization bill could a alw the fbi to access email, chat and messaging records, as well as browser histories. on thursday, senator heinrich called the bill a "massive expansion of government surveillance that lacks independent oversight." in brazil, the interim government has announced it -- announced plans to abandon the current limits on foreign land ownership, clearing the way for land grabs by multinational corporations. the interim government took power earlier this month after the legislature voted to suspend president dilma rousseff and begin impeachment proceedings, a move that a growing number of residents and latin american countries are calling a coup. this comes as brazil's powerful landless workers movement,

the money went to her primary opponent, a florida professor named tim canova. >> i think senator sanders wants to see a progressive congress. he's been in a position to assess debbie wasserman schultz's leadership abilities and we see a party that's increasingly divided and perhaps in no small part because of her actions.t' >> reporter: it's the latest evidence of a growing rift between sanders and party leaders. "saturday night live" captured one source of his resentment this weekend. >> remember all those states like wyoming where you beat me by a lot but then i still got most of the delegates? >> oh, my god! i was so stupid. >> it's so rigged! >> to debbie wasserman schultz. >> to debbie! >> reporter: sanders has also blamed wasserman schultz for limiting many of the debates and scheduling many of them on weekends. wasserman schultz called sanders an instigator after his supporters disrupted nevada's party convention. has this incident tested the fragile dÉtente between the sanders' campaign and democratic leaders? >> no. i can tell you that i'm not doing anything to discourage the se

he is a democrat, tim canova. >> i welcome senator sanders' support for this kpcampaign.on an awful lot of issues. i'm a progressive in the tradition of franklin roosevelt. there are people in this wing of the party that want the same kind of progressive reforms. >> so you're not gunning for debbie wasserman schultz's dnc chairwoman job, but by gunning for this congressional position, if you were to unseat her, it would certainly undermine her authority, undermine her leadership ability as a dnc chair, right? >> that's probably true. and i'm not running to be the dnc chair. i think the voters in our district have not been well served. representing people in the house of representatives is a full-time job. i don't think anybody could do both effectively and arguably, my opponent's not doing either one quite effectively. >> the dnc chairwoman issued this statement, even though senator sanders has endorsed my opponent, i remain as i have been from the beginning neutral in the presidential democratic primary. >>> all right, the legal battle straight ahead that has been brewin

tim canova -- >> well, it's true. even before senator sanders endorsed me, we raised a million dollars. our message was resonating. thank you. we'd love to have debbie wasserman schultz on as well but she declined our invitation. thank you, sir. >>> long-time clinton insider now under federal investigation. the questionable campaign donation that could have the governor of virginia now answering to the fbi and the department of justice. >>> and, those breaking details about bill cosby as he will go to trial now for an alleged sexual assault back in 2004. so what is next in this huge legal saga? you both have a perfect driving record. perfect. no tickets. no accidents. that is until one of you clips a food truck, ruining your perfect record. yeah. now you would think your insurance company would cut you some slack, right? no. your insurance rates go through the roof... your perfect record doesn't get you anything. anything. perfect. for drivers with accident forgiveness, liberty mutual won't raise your rates due to you

sanders has announced his support for tim canova, who is challenging wasserman schultz's congressional seat in florida. in a cnn interview with jake tapper, sanders also criticized the superdelegate system that he said "anointed" hillary clinton as the nominee. >> the point that i was making is there something absbsurd whei get 46% of the delegates that come from real contests, real elections, and 7% of the superdelegates. the point i made a few minutes after that is that some 400 of hillary clinton's superdelegates came on board heher campaign before anybody else announced. an anointment. that is bad for the process. amy: in austria, a far-right candidate has deadlocked with a green party candidate in the presidential elections. the close race will be decided by mail-in ballots. nobert hofer of the far-right freedom party has campaigned on an anti-migrant campaign focusing on the arrival of refugees. far right wing parties have seen a surge across the area but , hofer would be the f first far-right head o of state electd in europe e since 1945. people took to the streets more than 400

that challenger is tim canova, runs again her in a democratic district.ve you. >> thank you, neil. >> we should say at the outset we did reach out to debbie wasserman schultz and thanked us for the invitation and her schedule would not allow her to come on today. effectively bernie sanders says he is not a fan of hers and hasn't been fair and she is not progressive enough. you are. so he is endorsing you. your phones began ringing off the hook. so did your fundraising. what happened? >> that's right. we're very grateful to have senator sanders' report and giving a good shot of energy into our campaign. hour campaign was already doing well. in the first quarter we raised half million dollars and the first four months a mime dollars, -- a million dollars ad for that's a pretty start. most folks know debbie wasserman schultz as the head of the democratic national committee, a lot of people see her as a failed leader of the dnc. near south florida folks know her has somebody who has been favoring special interests and ignoring her own constituents. >> they el

over the weekend, sanders announced his support for tim canova, the primary challenger of dnc chair andchallenger of debbie wasserman schultz. >> in florida, are you with wasserman schultz or are you with her opponent? >> well, clearly, i favor her opponent. his views are much closer to me than is wasserman schultz's. and with all due respect to the current chairman, if elected president, she would not be reappointed to be chair of the dnc. >> that wasn't a reach, was it, harold? nobody was shocked when he said that. >> no, but that's antagonistic, though, to jump in supporting her opponent. that's not just, you know, having a position -- >> and fund-raising, as well. >> antagonistic move to prove a point. >> two things first. mrs. clinton was right in her interview about him not being vetted. i think there's a lot to be said for that. and as much as mr. sanders has raised all these important issues, i think that point is right. with regard to chairwoman wasserman schultz, i think she's bungled this from the outset. i said on the show, there should have been more debates. she has every

she is being challenged right now in a primary by tim canova.. you've been calling for a revolution in florida, are you with wasserman schulz or are you with her opponent? >> well, clearly i favor her opponent. his views are much closer to mine than as wasserman schulz, and let me also say this, in all due respect to the current chairperson, if elected president, she would not be reappointed to be chair of the dnc. >> now, that is a very, very strong statement from senator sanders. we should point out a couple of things. one of them is in wasserman schulz's congressional district, hillary clinton did much better, 68%, to bernie sanders 30.1%. in march, in florida, but nonetheless, bernie sanders is going to send out a fundraising email on behalf of wasserm schuz as ch challenger. we'll see how it affects her reelection chances. >> do you see a real disruption in the democratic party and any risk of her losing her seat in the primary? >> there definitely is a huge division, and right now, the divisions are far more noticeable than the ones in the

tim canova is with us now. you are the candidate going up again that he wasserman schultz.backing of bernie sanders. you have the backing of several leftist pacs. would you describe yourself as a democratic socialist? >> i've never describe myself. in fact, i'm receptive to capitalism. capitalism on main street, small businesses for a lot of years with their capitalistic enterprise are now so well. by extension are you challenging him from the right? >> i'm a progressive democrat and franklin roosevelt. when you look at dwight eisenhower's farewell address, he talked about balancing the public and private sectors. you have a strong infrastructure investment in the public during a strong public sector when you have free markets. stuart: is another debbie wasserman schultz and again by extension hillary clinton really want? the very big public investment in infrastructure and investment. is not what you want, too? >> that's what i want, too. debbie wasserman schultz stands for an awful lot. issue after issue them closer to hillary clinton than debbie wasserman schultz is here
