what was also interesting is in the list of accomplishments, valerie jarrett did not put the iran deal which obviously the administration has touted as a success. jon: let's talk about the race to succeed the president, hillary clinton was asked about debating senator bernie sanders before next month's california primary. i know you are interested in that, here's what she had to say. >> he's accepted an invitation to debate in california before the california primary. have you thought about accepting the invitation? >> we willconsider it . >> you're not ruling it out yet i haven't thought about it, we will consider it. jon: we will consider it. what does that say to you? it says they are considering it. we've had the clinton campaign, we expect some resolution, some decision to this invitation. bernie sanders accepted right away for a debate, likely june 6 in california. the democratic debate on fox, have yet to get official word from hillary clinton. it's also interesting the previous hour we played a soundbite from may 2008 when hillary clinton was asked about the dates and she said

ben rhodes, valerie jarrett. come on, where are their operational or tactical chops?have it. they never had inside their national security team, going back to the war room for benghazi, they had more political operatives in there than tactical operators. this is not surprise in any way. if people think somehow he is not going to push this and not going to dumb those people out, as soon as these two dozen are released to the half dozen or so countries. next step they will do, move the next batch into this category of, yes, free to release as soon as we can authorize the country. they will keep shifting people into this. they don't care about the security issue. they care about the political issue. harris: if in 2010, they said these guys were too dangerous to outright release, these are the worst of the worst, what does it say about their bravado when they get back access to the battlefield? we've seen that the recidivism. we know they have been talking to each other at gitmo. we know reports about that melissa, when you look down the road this is so dangerous for us.

with that i'll turn it over to the senior adviser to the president, valerie jarrett. [ applause ] >>hank you, stephanie and good morning, everyone. welcome to the white house. we are delighted to have you here for what we believe will be a historic week focusing on re-entry around our country. i want to begin by recognizing our partners here today, the brennan center for justice as well as the american enterprise institute. good examples of how broad the political spectrum is focusing on this issue from the progressive to the conservative, all around the country people understand the need generally for criminal justice reform and specifically to make sure that the 600,000 people each year who return back to our communities can do so in a way that will allow them to become members of society, law-abiding members of society and eliminate the enormous recidivism rate we're seeing around the country. the president this week in his weekly address said it best, he said we know that simply locking people up doesn't make communities safer. it doesn't deal with the conditions that led people

i was with bob schieffer on one side, valerie jarrett on the other, and we audibly gasped.as disrespectful and inappropriate because it is a president of the united states. others said bravo to larry wi willmore for keeping it 100% real. for many, they felt it was too real for the room. or anyone, to be honest with you. >> reporter: i detected a slight wince in the eye of the president over that. larry wilmore wanted to do what he did. he did the act exactly the way he wanted to. he was playing to a different audience. not just that room, but everyone watching on tv. >> everybody's talking about it for today. for his comedy writes, they say that's a win for us. we'll see. we'll see. thank you very much, major. >> reporter: sure. >>> a popular circus retires its elephants amid ahead, why animagh see me. don't stare at me. see me. see me. see me to know that psoriasis is just something that i have. i'm not contagious. see me to know that... ...i won't stop until i find what works. discover cosentyx, a different kind of medicine for moderate to severe p
