tom bernie, you can't tell that from listening to the video. >> it is hard to tell. there is certainly a lot of fire power going on right there. it has to be an extremely scary situation for the police and anyone in the area and people need to be looking in that area as well, if people are in the hotels and the surrounding area and they see, you know, certainly someone on the adjoining roof top, they should be recording that or calling 911 first and letting police know where they're at so they know where to focus their attention. >> okay. okay, so listen, i also want to say, listen, according to the police chief statements that they believe that the police officers, that the snipers shot the police officers from elevated positions during the protest, but again, they believe that that is what happened. the information that we get in the beginning of this, these situations are not necessarily, it doesn't always pan out because it is a chaotic situation but this is information directly from chief david brown in a release saying that they believe the snipers were in elev

retired police detective tom bernie joins us now. you've been in these situations. describe to us what's going on. >> it seems as though they're trying to verify whether the shooter is still active in that location and secure it. i was just reading a report that said two officers were shot. it's unknown as to the stats of either officer. if you remember at the end of 2014 when a loot of the protests started taking place in new york, there was all this chanting of what do we want, dead cops, when do we want them? now, right? and we had two officers assassinated in new york. pro te-- protests are fine and when it escalates to the point -- this is getting nowhere. >> we don't know. we want to be very careful. neal franklin said this happened during the protest but we don't know if it had anything to do with the people there. we have limited information and we want to tell you what we do know right now. we do know, what our affiliate is reporting, there was peaceful protests going on and then there were 20 shots in succession and another person saying that two officers

tom cole. let's start with you, donna. you heard bernie sanders say debbie wasserman schultz should resign. over those e-mails, over that bias against him. will she? should she? >> welcome to philadelphia. i'm excited to be here. this will be an exciting convention. we're not just having 18 million tiny cracks. we're breaking the glass ceiling. now that i've gotten that out of the way. first of all, as vice chair, i went over yesterday to see the sanders campaign. i apologized. i think, the allegations, the e-mails, the insensitivity. the stupidity needs to be addressed. and we are going the address it. >> what does that mean? >> it means that the, first of all this is not just a one-day leak. there will be a substantial number of e-mails that i understand will be leaked over the next couple of days, weeks, months. because it was not a one-month breach or a two-month breach.

bernie. you know what? i have a feeling they're going to have a lot of people marching on philadelphia. let's see what happens. tom: joining me former white house political director, great america pac strategist and fox news contributor, ed rollins, donald is being friendly about bernie sanders. >> get some of the votes, one out of four, one out of five are coming across, most of them go back home. they're democrats. >> i know you follow them, you're the republican side of the aisle, but one out of four will come over, that's important, but what happens to the three out of four? where do they go? do they stay home or vote for hillary? >> most of them come back into the party. she's got to make inroads into the community. she's got to pay attention to them. tom: she was talking about free college today. she's adopting more of his -- >> more of his ideology. democrats are going to do anything to beat trump as bernie sanders said and republicans do just about anything to beat hillary. polarized, in essence. tom: next tuesday, they're going to have the hearings in washington. are the republicans overplaying their hand

bernie and trump. they keep it simple. tomdy's politics, bernie sanders in the last couple of days has been a total class act. he has impressed me with the drama that he brought to the soiree in philadelphia. look for this this evening -- mark halperin and john heilemann, "with all due respect congo from philadelphia. -- "with all due respect congo :" -- this is bloomberg. ♪ tom: "bloomberg surveillance." lots going on today. francine lacqua in london, i am tom keene in new york. kit juckes writing a research note. let's go to that right now. francine, you have been doing more on this than i have. tom: kit juckes, as always, with a lot of clarity on what can only be called speculation. francine: speculation and a little bit of confusion. how i would characterize it, the volatility that we saw with en is symptomatic of this announcement this morning that was very untypical from the japanese government, saying more stimulus, but we do not know what was preannounced. we think this will be a direct announcement, the punt minister

charlie: where are you to the left of bernie sanders? health care? tomman: i would expand the earned income tax credit. i would have wage insurance. for people that get caught up -- for trade, exactly. i think if you lose your job to trade, fund it through the government. they would pay in. charlie: people with insurance can figure that out. no corporate tax. tom friedman: i would also shift our medicare tax to vat. i would pay for medicare out of vat. i really think there should be, not the idea original to me, but people should see if you have a vat, and this goes to medicare. people understand there is a connection between them. i would keep social security, that payroll, because it is important people feel -- charlie: donald trump shows some flexibility with certain areas, and social security is one of them. tom friedman: where he has been a pioneer, he said the old mix of what is meant to be a republican is no longer serving our party. i will mix up the deck. what he did was simply, what are the biggest hotspots? i will mix them up together rather t

that would have been bernie sanders or elizabeth warren or maybe tom perez. ig because she wasn't at that moment terribly concerned about her liberal left. bernie sanders had sort of made clear that after a longer than the clintons would have liked period, he was going to be on board. polling suggested that her numbers were good. and so she makes a campaign pick because it's a government pick. he's from a swing state, he was, he speaks fluent spanish, he was a mission their. the tim kaine five days ago was he is harder because it is yet another poke to liberals. not that tim kaine is a conservative democrat, but he's not bernie sanders. he's not elizabeth warren. as you heard in this interview, this woman saying we need to swap tim kaine out for bernie sanders. that's the only way things will be made right. news flash, that's not going to happen, but it makes it more difficult for hillary clinton to reconcile a problem that she didn't ian necessarily have three or four days ago. >> nick, right now bernie sanders is expected to arrive any moment. the media is b

tom perez, xavier. one person not on the list is bernie sanders. >> that would be a demotion.ful senator. there is a massive movement behind him. he would lose credibility. in that wing of the party that is massive would be disempowered. >> i don't think there should be two white people on the ticket. a lot of people think tim cayne will be the safe bet. when hillary clinton's argument is this guy is dangerous, she has to go with someone who is safe. >> you can be and you can be exciting. they are represented with sarah is exciting. i am good friends with tom perez. he is brilliant and they speak to a growing population and the hispanic voter this this country. just the visuals, the esthetics of our party. i want to see ba ram and michelle and hillary and bill, but more color on that stage. >> i think mayor garcetti should be on that list. >> one of the rising stars is latino and brilliant. he has street cred and his family has been close to her for a long time. that's the type of person she should be choosing. >> that's the dark horse. the big news is hillary clinton sitting

bernie sanders. she will need african-american voters in the fall against donald trump, and booker would help. as we said, he would be replaced by a republican. tomerez is the labor secretary, he is respected by liberals. business officials are not so crazy about him. he does not have a lot of experience as far as foreign policy. i do not think he is going to be picked. this is a strike against liz -- elizabeth warren. on foreign-policy experience, their resumes are thin, and she has stressed her experience, so i think he would be inconsistent for her to say i have the experience, but a running mate not so much. that perez is unlikely to be selected. >> the congressman from california. >> he has been in congress for a while and is a very gregarious guy. it -- if jeb bush or marco rubio were the nominee, i think that he or maybe perez could be picked. i don't think you need to pick a hispanic because donald trump's numbers are so low, and he is going to be driving a lot of hispanics to the polls. mix,nk the sarah is in the but at the same time, hillary clinton is going to be looking more toward kaine. -- airingwe are interview with a senator in mi
