it goes gary hart, jesse jackson, mcgovern and mondale. you are on. >> what senator glenn doesn't address is the need for more units of all these things. weekend afford more when the each cost $3.5 billion. we are behind the soviets and we are falling behind in almost every category because we are worshiping technology. i want to use our technological superiority to produce conventional weapons that work in sufficient numbers to defend the interests. >> you can make it being prepared to kill and be killed by the russians. if we negotiated and traded and use technology and we wouldn't have to prepare to fight, we could prepare to live. they are alive because we decided not to kill them. it is uncivilized behavior. we need to begin to use our minds. we need to go another way. it is a waste of money killing people in the caribbean or central america or in lebanon. if we save the money we are used killing people there, we could cut the budget without cutting defense. use our minds and go another way. >> one thing that is clear here today is th

al gore had run that year, he was the good looking candidate and jesse jackson. we underestimate what that meant. gary hart, he had the monkey business with the girl friend on the boat and everything. and then he was painted as the liberal, the willy horton ad that got used against him. >> do you remember the "i am somebody" speech from jesse jackson? we should play that at some point. one of the most inspiring and memorable speeches ever. >> the fact is we don't give jesse jackson i think enough credit. everyone talks about the bridge in selma paving the way for barack obama, but jesse jackson had the chutzpah in 1988 to run and do well, a serious contender. >> mike dukakis spoke to wolf blitzer today. here's what he had to say about donald trump. >> look, he's the grandson of german immigrants. he ought to be ashamed of himself. i'm very proud of my background and i'm sure you are and as others of us are. this is a guy who is a grandson of somebody who came over from germany and i don't know what he's talking about. >> i can't imagine donald trump cares much ab

jesse jackson, if he doesn't get any percent of the vote, he will lose his eligibility for federal campaign matching funds. mr. mcgovern is down to one state, massachusetts. he may withdraw. mr. glenn has not scored a victory and the polls don't put him in a strong position. mr. mondale's hopes have not been fulfilled. i believe i've heard him use the word "clobbered" to describe one of his defeats. a man with ideas for the future but his opponents say it is tinsel. now, onto the substance. mr. jackson, you have a lot of frontline combat experience in civil rights. now that you are campaigning in the south, you have been hitting the civil rights theme very hard, saying that you're better than your opponents on that issue. does that tend to narrow your candidacy? there are a lot of white voters in new england who did not coalition.ur rainbow have you reached the point where your support will come exclusively from blacks? >> in new hampshire, i got better than four of my opponents. in vermont, we got 8% of the votes. we have an inclination of voting support in new hampshire.

tomorrow senator sanders will be sitting down with jesse jackson in chicago. bernie sanders actually endorsed jesse jackson for president twice in 1984 and in 19 8. ? also this week, he released three new ads aimed at illinois voters, including this one we're going to show you featuring images of his 1963 arrest while protesting school segregation in chicago. joining us to discuss is mark preston. mark, a lot to get to on this issue of bernie sanders meeting with jesse jackson, and this meeting coming up. he is gaining, if you look at michigan, especially, he is gaining more support among african american voters. that's something that jeff weaver was happy to highlight, but hillary clinton is winning by 30 points and above. do you think he can make up the gap and make a difference ahead of tuesday's votes? >> reporter: well, he's trying to. his message is trying to resonate with younger black voters. they always knew they were going to do poorly in the south. they knew hillary clinton who is well known within the african american community, her husband, back i

jesse jackson says he has not made an endorsement yet for president. of course, he has been a longtime supporter of the clintons over the years. again, not making an endorsement just yet. it has not started. scheduled to start any moment from now. with so many people coming through security, it has taken a little bit longer than expected. have a full report for you tonight at 10:00. also, tonight at 11:00. reporting live from columbus, courtis fuller. mike: look forward to hearing from you then. tomorrow, the last day to cast your ballot early. today, area churches encouraged members to get out for a soul to the polls event. tomorrow, the hours are 8:00 a.m. until 2:00 p.m. wlwt leading the way . be sure to watch our special coverage of the primaries as ohio votes. sheree paolello and i will bring you live coverage starting at 7:30 p.m. when the polls close. join us for a special edition. wlwt news 5 at 10:00 and 11:00. meteorologist jennifer schack is jennifer: a lot of showers around for our midday. finally, clouds are starting to break up. a little

reverend jesse jackson sr. who is here has been fighting silicon valley and opening up the doors for people of color, and however, power pac plus did a study showing that the democratic party spent $514 million on various consultants, and minorities got 1.7% or 8 million of that. and how can the people trust democrats to do something about income inequality when it comes to dollars they practice income inequality? >> that's a very good point. let me say hello to reverend jackson. and i was with him yesterday. i am proud to say that way back in 1988 when he and i were younger and he ran the brilliant campaign fort president, and i am proud to say that i was one of the few white politicians and elected officials to support jesse jackson. and he, in fact, won the state of vermont. i'm proud of that. and what we have to do as a party but as a nation make sure that federal contracts and money goes to those people who need it the most. roland, let me tell you what i think is one of the great crises facing the country

debatehe 1984 democratic between walter mondale, general gary hart, and jesse jackson. it is best remembered for the question on the deaths of the poli p

he was a mayor of burlington and he stood up for reverend jesse jackson when the democratic party itself turned their back on him and he was only one of three white folks, white elected officials, who would dare stand up for reverend jesse jackson in 1988 to say that he could be the president of the united states of america. whether people know it or not, from vermont has continued to stand up for the working poor. he is not afraid to stand up and say the word poor. he filibustered for eight hours on the senate floor against the extension of the bush tax cuts. he stands up for folks whether he gets -- whether it will harm his political career or not and that is the kind of political leader that we need. he is talking about a minimum hour.ncrease to $15 per as a former mayor, he certainly understands what the relationship with police needs to be. he talks about the accountability that a police officer, like any other public servant, if they have committed a crime, they need to answer that. they need to be prosecuted. his honesty and integrity, that is why almost 90% of millennials ages 17

because jesse jackson took the illinois delegation the reflected the results of the primary. and had a telling gate -- a delegation. in in the first is who will be seated. it was unclear in the long run with george mcgovern but it just showed how much things were changing. >> the delegates would do whatever they wanted to do? >> all the time. constantly. the role they 16 primaries alien to most for called you the contest which means they had no bearing. the western states were more progressive but by and large they were disconnected. >> a lot of times you don't choose them and told the nominee and more with the final results. and of how much of an impact. >> that is a really good question. i will answer in two ways. first of all, they almost always reduce the field. please feel have worked for candidates. so we went on to new hampshire. but the second way to look at that in the early contest a question and of expectation it isn't always the winner of the up popular vote. in this may be that worse we have ever seen in the presidential campaign. and then to come in second and p

lisa: other big names in attendance, civil rights leader jesse jackson, who says he remains neutrual and has not made an endorsement. and longtime democrat and clinton supporter jerry springer was also there. donald trump was that the savannah center for a town hall event. he was asked the question about john mccain, not being a war hero. he. >> i think it is important for a lot of veterans in ohio. i knew what you were doing. mr. trump: they are real heroes. lisa: protesters we just as enthusiastic at the trap hall. clashed. >> builds bridges, not walls. karin: two groups of people -- >> build a wall. karin: with two different visions. >> let' s fight for america. karin: both very vocal and passionate about where they stood. >> i' m totally against him and everything he stands for. karin: at one point, trump supporters set off their car alarms to try and drown out the protesters, who were kept in a >> they' re missing the point. they' picture. karin: what they are seeing, protesters say, is hate in >> it' that' s not what our american it' s not what america was founded on. >> he' s

now there was a challenge because jesse jackson took that delegation that the results of the primary. and he had a delegation of the officials. and it was over who would be seated. jackson won in mayor daley walked out of the convention. it was a good in the long run for george mcgovern but it shows how much things are changing. >> whether situations the primary one day for what they wanted to do? >> all the time. >> constantly. there'll the 16 primary is most recall beauty contest which means they had no bearing. once in a while most of those progressive states but by and large the primaries and the delegates were even-handed. >> a lot of times iowa and new hampshire don't choose but sometimes it is florida. and how much of an impact. [inaudible] that is a really good question. first of all, they almost always reduce the field by a couple. believe we have worked for candidates to the next day drop out. [laughter] and though seven out of the race the day after i a lot. -- i want. iowa. but in their early contest and a question of expectation so the winner of new hampshire isn't the wi

john i suspect jesse jackson is : not out of phase with that question. reverend jackson: it requires that we at this point have some kind of congressional oversight that allows us to become managed. right now, it is unmanageable. the no-bid contracts -- i support the need for troops in europe. there are 50,000 troops in japan. they are better able to help share some of that burden. if we can cut the defense by at least 25%, the budget, not the defense, that is the money for implementing new ideas. john: we have two cutters. as i understand the positions taken by the other three, cutting what the president has requested in addition. favor awould still certain increase. >> i am for reducing the reagan military buildup right when by $150 billion in the next 4-5 years. i spell that out in great detail. i'm the only member of the group who has 10 years of experience in the armed services committee. i will to you why i disagree with george and jesse. one is that we have to increase over ronald reagan what we paying our military personnel to retain the most ski

jackson were neck and neck. this is a little different dynamic with regards to hillary clinton. >> clinton does seem to be widening her lead over the bernie sanders, in south carolina winning by double digits. he has continued to raise a lot of money from individual donors. he raised as much money last month as he that during his whole campaign. what is the must ore win for sanders today? he's going to win vermont, what about massachusetts, colorado. >> what is the delegate count that he needs, i'm putting that at 45%. if he gets 45%, he's in fine shape, less than 40, i think he says kind of out of it. minnesota, massachusetts and colorado, now he needs to win at least one of those. of those three, the most important by far is massachusetts. it's a neighboring state, so should be the easiest, although elizabeth warren who is a kindred spirit that stayed out of the race and hillary clinton has been working hard there. if she beats him there, that is not good for bernie sanders, but minnesota is a state with a pro

he says that the map is going to start -- i first met, covering the jesse jackson campaign in 1988. children.ry small >> i was covering it for my elementary school. yes. >> ha ha! collectingas delegates even after he stopped winning, so that when he got to he had a really big place to be. he had a platform. capacitye fund-raising that bernie sanders has will also just keep him going. again, there's really not a lot of incentive while, toor whit quite a get out of this race. >> okay. and it keeps on rolling. we have to go a few minutes early, again this week, to give you the chance to support your in turnation, which supports us. but the conversation continues online on the "washington week" othert extra, where among things, we'll preview the president's historic trip to cuba. while you're online, have a fun!e test your knowledge of current events, sports and culture in the "washington week" news quiz, at pbs.org/washingtonweek. state, i'm michigan sorry. keep up with developments with the pbsdruff and me on newshour. we'll see you here next week on "washington week"! good night! >>

jesse jackson, if he does not get 20% of the vote, he will lose its eligibility for federal campaign matching funds. mr. mcgovern is down to one state, massachusetts. if he does not do well there, he may withdraw. mr. glenn has not scored a victory and the open in polls do not put him in a strong position. mr. mondale's hopes for a quick and decisive lead have not been fulfilled. mr. hart has done well and he has presented himself as a man with ideas for the future, but his opponents say that is just glamour with no substance. well, on to the substance, ladies and gentlemen. be jackson, you will frontline combat experience in civil rights. now that you are campaigning in the south where there are a lot of black vote, you have been hitting that civil rights thing very hard, saying that you are better than your opponents on that issue. does that tend to narrow your candidacy? there are a lot of white voters who did not rally to your rainbow coalition. have you reached the point where your support will come exclusively from blacks? hampshire, i got 6% of the vote, which is better than f

as william described beautifully in that piece, jesse jackson nearly showed how it could be done and became the model. he upset the applecart when michael dukakis in 1988 was able to run what they called a four-corner strategy by winning florida and texas and the state of washington and the northeast, as well. but it has become the difference between super tuesday and the events that precede it, all of iowa, new hampshire, even nevada, they see the candidates up close. they can touch them. they can listen to them. now it's strictly wholese politics. it's what voters conclude from what they read, see, sense, communicate about them, and i think that's... donald trump has shown depth and strength in three different states in winning new hampshire and nevada and south carolina. he's showing a breadth now that is really rather remarkable. if he carries alabama and massachusetts in the same day, it's been a long time. mitt romney did not do as well on super tuesday, nor did john mccain, the last two nominees, as it appears donald trump is poised to do. >> woodruff: but david, can we really

in the '70s and '80s, we supported jesse jackson's candidacy. however, because he always focuses on class, his opinion is once you solve that inequality, then racism will automatically sort itself off. sanders now has a very robust platform to combat structural racism in the u.s. he says he has learned. it does seem he still has that enormous problem with older african american voters to whom clinton is the gold standard, and particularly because there is that layer of african american leadership involved with the democratic party. >> all right. shihab thank you so much. let's talk about georgia now. a group of black students were ejected from a trump rally by the secret service agents. the agents said that trump requested the removal. >> it shows you how racist our own school is. >> reporter: the trump campaign spokesperson denied that trump or his campaign had anything to do with the incident. and more convict in virginia. the presidential candidate was interrupted several times. >> are you from mexico? are you from mexico?

meeting with reverend jesse jackson. in a news conference this morning, sabders went after trump and it's been widely noted on social media here, on fox news and elsewhere, that move on.org, which has endorsed sanders, has been out saying let's struck down trump events, inincluding the one in cleveland. >> that's risking a lot of problems. doing that sort of stuff. thank you. very, very much. it's been a crazy and busy two hours. a lot of this we could not have seenful just as donald trump was winding down and finishing his remarks today, this is what happened. as we speak. >> because i have to do it myself, i know it's not -- >> appears that someone grabbed mr. trump by the leg. a protester, several people, maybe just a fan. quickly turned around, but note how quickly the secret service agents guarding him, recently awarding that secret service protection because the crowds he swren rates and a lot f to threats he generates. you could see in moments like these, probably money well spent. the bottom line is in this heate

jackson, for example. >> right. so looking ahead as we contemplate a situation in which we're likely to have the democratic nominee, likely but not certain to have the democratic nominee be hillary clinton and we therefore have the prospect of the first female president. have these years, these historic years with obama in the white house taught us anything about how she is likely to be regarded in the course of making history if she were to win? is she going to be held to a similarly weird standard? will there be judgments of her on the basis of her gender in the same way that there have been judgments of him on the basis of his race or has she transcended that in all the years that she's been in public office? >> well i think to a large extent she has, but it's kind of the picture is made a little blurry and fuzzy by the fact that she wouldn't be just the first female president, but she would be the first spouse president. >> indeed. >> she would be the first time a spouse of a president has become president. we h

jackson. here's a preview. first, i have made quite an issue out of the need for a new generation of leadership. i mean primarily those who have come into political life and leadership in the past decade ad that is because there is strong antigovernment feeling out there. i disagree with ronald reagan when he says he hates our government. i don't hate our government. i think we ought to have leaders that ask people what they can do for their country using the best instruments of our government but i think there is a fundamental difference between mondale and myself and i think we can meet the basic human needs and commitments of the people in this country by restoring entrepreneurship. 90 percent of new jobs have come from small businesses and i think the dedication of the democratic party to minority people shouldn't just be jobs, it should be the opportunity to own and operate as this is that create jobs. >> may i respond to that? >> we will get back to you. when i hear your new ideas, i'm r

. >> among other big names here tonight civil rights leader jesse jackson who says he remains neutral, has not made an endorsement. another familiar face in the and clinton supporter, jerry springer. if the democratic leaders were hoping to fire up the troops for tuesday's political fight, it's safe to say they did just that. >> there's been a question about whether there is enthusiasm on our side as well as their side. i think it proves that in ohio we have the energy to make sure we hold on to the presidency. >> you know we saw a lot of familiar faces from the greater cincinnati area here, a lot of political leaders from that area, and also some community leaders. bishop bobby hilton gave the invocation before the 3,000 people here. if you're wondering how much it costs to get in here, some paid as much as $5,000 for a package of four. some college students got in for as little as $25. curtis fuller, wlwt. news 5. >> from columbus to westchester presidential candidates have been all over ohio this primary season. today donald trump held a rally in butler county. wlwt news 5's john l

if you look at the history of people who have done well, like jesse jackson, it should be a sanders state. al: today, the clinton campaign was dealt a double whammy on that old e-mail story. federal prosecutors are setting up interviews with members of clinton staff and possibly clinton herself. the washington post adds that in 2009, they were apparently not told that clinton's phone was not tied to her private e-mail center. what is the worst-case scenario for secretary clinton on the e-mail front? mark: there is no indication there is a grand jury. clinton folks have been welcoming her to be interviewed by the fbi to take out the gee whiz factor. i think her aides going before the fbi is problematic. you will see leaks from agents who don't like the fbi about what they did. if it happens simultaneous to sanders winning wisconsin and, from her point of view, worst-case, winning new york, but if he wins them both, i think it is going to cause the democratic party to stand up and say, wait a minute, what are we getting ourselves into? al: there is a lot of nervousness already. the fbi dire

to forget the fact not only he was with congressman in the early 1960s, he was wasn't on jesse jackson's '88 campaign which is more of a class based campaign, he was on the '84 campaign. >> i agree about the stumbling. this is a moment in which a guy who is, he's represented a constituency that's overwhelming white for a long time. that's not his fault. that's just is what it is. you took the person who is the bronx borough president, and dropped him into kansas to talk about farms, it would take him a while to adjust. >> look, the kpits polling is a different phenomenon. certainly, bernie's engaging a broader constituency. i think you have seen the black lives matter activists have a real impact and he's embraced them and they have embraced him. he's been the only one to stand up and say in the case of mcdonald in chicago, anybody involved in that cover up should resign which leaves room the mayor. hillary has been taking up for the mayor. what we have seen in the places where we really campaigned, frankly none of these campaigns have been campaigning in every state. hillary had a head

i think he only attended the 1984 one because is he friends with jesse jackson. in 2008 barack obama convention. he has been a democratic socialist. he has been an independent. the point is why did clinton allies are sir cow late this is that he needs a democratic establishment now. is he part of the democratic apparatus by running as a candidate. at the convention he wants these super delegates. he wants to be invested. if you are out there for many years i'm not a democrat. >> 8 months too late on this one. >> debbie wasserman schultz never should have allowed him in the debates. they allowed him to run as a democrat even though is he not really aá&y3Ñ democrat. >> secretary hillary clinton putting bernie sanders on the back burner for the moment and looking ahead to the first. ad first mentioned. secretary clinton does hit hard at donald trump. >> when some say we can solve america's problems by building walls, banning people based on their religion, and turning against each other, well, this is new york. and we know better. >> senior advisor to the donald t

he got up every day to help the lives of others and he was -- but in his eulogy, jesse jackson said he had carried this weight for everybody. and if you think about when he arrived, april 15, 1947, martin luther king was a junior at morehouse college. harris s. truman had not integrated the military. there was no organized sit-ins. rosa parks was a decade away. he refused to give up his seat in the lunch counter until he was served. henry: he was court marshaled. ken: and he was a sit-in before sit-ins and a freedom rider before freedom rider. jackie represents the beginning of the modern civil rights era because he takes our national pastime, walks through that door and carries it single handedly. michael: with do you talk about the myths? i thought i knew something about jackie robinson. i went to school in brooklyn. and the pee wee reese thing. ken: you know, i have to be honest. we perpetrated it -- we passed it long the way they passed it on. they are simpler, easier, they don't represent the complicated narrative -- and there is a statue out of the great american park. in 1947 wh

we talked about jesse jackson, jr. in a three-way trum with. >> it's like new jersey, new york, connecticut, california on the west coast. i think it's just as simple as this -- i think trump looks at he wants to win florida. and although i agree that some combination of anti-trust money plus cruz could make him competitive. who do you want to fight, ted cruz or marco rubio? i think trump says get rubio out of this race and let me try to then beat kasich in hai ohio an have a one-on-one with ted cruz. he thinks that cruz's best states are out of the way now so why not want cruz one-on-one? >> it seems to me that trump, if he wanted to run a really tough campaign against rubio says we gave you one job, you didn't show up. just hit him on not showing. just nail him on that. >> if trump wins ohio, michigan and florida, i think the race is pretty much over. if he can get the florida senator out of the race, i think he's saying you are underestimating what ted cruz with money could do against trump in some of these states b

you recall in my race jesse jackson stayed up right until the end, spoke at the convention. i didn't have a problem with that. and frankly this is such an incredible opportunity for the democratic party. wolf, to have this kind of food fight on the other side and to be able to go to work and make this -- and i'm serious about this, a 50-state campaign. every state, every precinct. we've got to organize this country. we've got to work with people across this country. if we do so, we're not only going to win the presidency, we're going to win the congress back. i think the fact that sanders for example stays in the race gives us a better opportunity to organize for the fall. and that effort has got to begin now. i'm serious about this. i think this is a huge opportunity for the democratic party, but we've got to seize it. >> as you know, this sunday night, cnn is running an episode of race for the white house, about your campaign against george h.w. bush back in 1988. how would you describe president bush as an opponent? at that time, he was the vice president. >> well, he was

i was involved in jesse jackson's campaign in 1984 when i was a junior in high school. we went to that convention with demands. and some were met, some were not. this is the same thing. and it was young people. >> we're going to hear more of what we're looking at again, awaiting bernie sanders rally in a 50,000 seat stadium in seattle, which could be the biggest rally in this whole primary. and we'll be back right after this break. hold onto that. i don't think you should do that. henry! henry! oh my. uh oh. oh. i told him not to... put it in reverse. that's fine. back, back, back. ok. (vo) according to kelley blue book, subaru has the highest resale value of any brand. again. you might find that comforting. love. it's what makes a subaru, a subaru. man 1: i came as fast as i man 2: this isn't public yet. man 1: what isn't? man 2: we've been attacked. man 1: the network? man 2: shhhh. man 1: when did this happen? man 2: over the last six months. man 1: how did we miss it? man 2: we caught it, just not in time. man 1: who? how? man 2: not sure, probably off-shore, foreig

your dad, reverend jesse jackson, has not endorsed yet. have you spoken to him about a candidate he likes or timing of when we might hear an endorsement from him? >> he has opted not to endorse. i've endorsed senator sanders because in 1988 when my father was running i remember senator sanders endorsing my father, in burlington vermont with open arms. i'm very familiar with his history with civil rights in chicago. and the work he had done in 1960s by fighting to desegregate, marching with martin luther king, jr., people that are my heros. i look to him as a true american statesman. an politician. his track record is unbelievable. 50 years of public service. and he is still moving very strong. >> you bring up sanders endorsement of your dad at a time when bernie sanders pretty much stood alone. as a person in a position of power. so do you think that your father will return that favor by supporting bernie sanders soon? >> i think that you can ask him. but mr. sanders certainly has my support and i've been very public about it. i look at mr
