these are warmongers, people who support torture. amy: do you think bernie sanders has laid out his support on israel-palestine? >> i don't think he is been super clear. i think is a realist. he understands the challenges. but i think he is open to the conversation and at least understands that we must end military occupation in palestine and an opportunity for us to continue the discussion with him as the next president of the united states. juan: mohamed elibiary, your response to the exchange between the candidates over israel and palestine? >> well, i would disagree a little bit with linda. i don't see it as anti-arab or anti-muslim. i see it as pandering, that is for sure. she is right on that. i don't do so much pandering to our base voter. me being in the party for more than 20 years, the base is not really voting on this issue. on the base does have a bias the issue, culturally, just like most americans. i see it as pandering to a certain donor segment in the gop. this is the kind of rhetoric that a sheldon adelson and that w

this in 1980 when ronald reagan ran for president foreign leaders said they were worried he was a warmongertrigger finger. lou: the department of defense defense -- defense. >> reagan turned out to be the best foreign-policy president rarely in modern times. he ended the cold war without firing a shot. lou: in the cold war when he did accomplish was remarkable and as we know now he and his wife nancy with her great help through it all. kaytee great to see you. >> we are having a blast. lou: amended zimbabwe expresses car trouble and getting another experience. what does i go to? this is the way i see it. i don't know what all those things are. it looks like a python. it was a massive african python. that's because it's in africa, coiled inside the engine department. it took two men to uncoil the monster who was responsible for the disappearance of several lambs in the area. i think we may have some cause and effect going on right here. up next the battleground state of florida the fight is on. donald trump hitting marco rubio hard in a new television attack ad. trump only responding to all

interesting, a lot of people in the media characterize strength against our enemies as somehow being a warmongeri think it's exactly the opposite. i believe like ronald reagan in peace through strength. i actually think the weakness of barack obama invites military conflict. it encourages our enemy. and let me point out that the nation of iran in 1981 released our hostages the day ronald reagan was sworn into office. that's the difference a strong commander in chief can make because the ayatollah komeni realized this wasn't jimmy carter, wasn't wringing his hands in fear, he wasn't bluffing. let me tell you, sean, i don't bluff, either. and when your enemies understand that, more often than not you don't need to use military power. you know, biggest country ronald reagan invaded in eight years was grenada. that's what happens when america is strong and your enemies understand it and we can have that again. that is who we are. and i want to finally say to everyone here, i ask you to stand with us. this is a grassroots army. washington, d.c., the establishment, is terrified of everyone gathered he

there were still people arguing that he was too conservative, that he was, quote, unquote, a "warmonger," he was known to have very strong anti-soviet views. judy woodruff: you know, i remember people -- i covered the carter white house during those years, and reagan's name would come up, and the critic would say, well, he's the one who's got his finger on the bomb. and so there was a lot of this rhetoric flying around. so this was by no means a walk-in for him. but when the time came, he had the people, he had the money, and. carl m. cannon: well, they were out in california living, and it was like he was the nominee-in-waiting for four years. it was a very interesting -- the only thing that even remotely is like it in my -- in the whole time i've been covering politics is like what's going on right now with hillary clinton, to be honest with you. now, she's going to have to win the nomination. they're not going to just hand it to her. carl m. cannon: but she -- he had the money, he had the support. the republican party was in transition, and it was going to be ronald reagan's party. a

he appeals, he's able to appeal to the peace segment as well as the warmongering section.end in the troops and carpet bomb anybody who sneezes at us. no, he's, he's easy to figure out, and he's up front about his militarism. stuart: but someone who feels like you feel has only a libertarian candidate to back, no republican candidate to support, and i'm sure you've obviously herald this before -- heard this before, but a libertarian candidate is not going to win. it's a protest vote. and in voting for a libertarian, essentially, you're giving a vote to hillary clinton. you've heard this before. [laughter] >> but if we have either one of, you know, republican or democratic, the people lose. nobody wins on this because they continue the same process of big government and spending and militarism and lack of privacy. it's just different flavors of it, different management style. so we always win if we present our case and we invite people in to start thinking about what true liberty is all about. we're in for the long term, and we also realize that elections aren't all that imp
