but first, hillary clinton. she has done her first national television interview and held a short press availability in iowa city. in both those events, clinton assertively hit the topic that is dominating residential politics for several days. immigration. hillary clinton: i do not care how many people running for president on the republican side try to demean immigrants insults immigrants, cast aspersions on immigrants, not only the ones who are the most vitriolic, none of them any longer support a path to citizenship. all of them would basically consign immigrants to second-class status. i feel very bad and very disappointed with him and with the republican party for not responding immediately and saying enough, stop it. but they are in the same general area on the operation. they do not want to provide a path to citizenship. they are hostile toward immigrants. mark: there is hillary clinton making a reference to donald trump and using his comments to strengthen her position. heidi: effective, maybe. the more

clinton: well, that is nice. [laughter] mr. clinton: i appreciate that. betty: what would you advise her? mr. clinton: if she gets elected president, she will make good decisions. she works hard, she is on top of things. she will consult widely. she will be inclusive, which we need. if there is one thing she knows more about than anybody on earth, it's on what subject i should be listened to. [laughter] mr. clinton: and what subject i shouldn't. [applause] mr. clinton: let me say something serious. i hope i will be asked to help support her main determination, which is to get the country a middle class and give poor people the chance to work into it and making a dynamic, inclusive society. i think it is important -- the good news about all of this technological revolution is we have more options than ever before. the bad news is we can get side silo'd. we get isolated from one another. there are all of these horrible instances where young people have been killed by these encounters with law-enforcement. it has revealed almost a total lack of trust in neig

what the clintons of the and by creating the clinton foundation and bill clinton taking inflated speaking fees from foreign entities we now do have a conduit and a model of that if we don't deal with it, in the future will come to influence our political system and will allow foreign corporations and foreign entities on a major scale to influence our political process and that is what i am concerned about. >> host: the debate the took place in richmond, va. in 1992 is the subject of this e-mail from kenneth martin. during that debate with george herbert walker bush and bill clinton i noticed bill clinton deliberately mentioned the father of george herbert walker bush press got bush early in the debate. my observation is mr. clinton was very sly. there was a smirk on his face and it was one of those gotcha moments mr. bush appeared instantly to react in a melancholy manner because of that attitude george herbert walker bush had of love toward his father and through than president bush. >> guest: interesting observation. i will have to go back and see that debate. it would not surprise me i

hillary clinton's campaign has been hit by a bombshell. news that two inspectors general sent a referral to the fbi about the mishandling of classified information on clinton's e-mail account. we'll have a debate between carly fiorina and a top official of the liberal group, emily's list about that and those undercover planned parenthood videos. first let's get the latest on the clinton case from chief white house correspondent ed henry. ed? >> reporter: this weekend hillary clinton is trying to rip the band-aid off and get this scandal behind her but there are new signs today more political and even legal problems could be coming. >> i never sent nor received any information that was classified at the time it was sent and received. >> reporter: eager to turn the page on her e-mail troubles, she revealed she'll testify before the house select committee on benghazi in october setting up a showdown with republican chairman who could uncover new revelations four months before the iowa caucuses. >> i have said repeatedly that i will answer que

clinton said yes. in june 2009 senior white house adviser david axelrod sent clinton a get well message on her private account, seemingly contradicting axelrod's claim this month he was surprised bill daley had no idea clinton was using a private server. >> i think it is unusual. he was the chief of staff. i confess i was there. ways a senior adviser. i didn't know that. >> reporter: now axelrod clarified today he knew clinton had a personal e-mail account but did not know she used it exclusively or that she had a personal server. meanwhile john kirly abouts revealed that to shield separate clinton e-mails from the benghazi committee the administration has now invoked executive privilege, a very rare move bret. >> ed henry live at the state department, thank you. >>> hillary clinton was already facing negative numbers in public polling about her honesty. political analyst brit hume is here with some of the back story on clinton's ongoing struggle on that front. >> nearly 20 years ago, the late columnis

[laughter] i get to go meet with smart people. i have met with oracle's major investors twice in the last year. they are fascinating. i learned so much. if someone told me in 2001 that people still wanted me to come talk, i would be stunned. [laughter] i think it is because i spent a couple of hours a day studying what is going on in the world, and i don't just tell war stories. i do not talk about when i was president unless someone asks me a specific question. i think people want to live in the present and look to the future. betty: in a bloomberg politics poll if you feel, if hillary clinton were to be elected to the white house, 83% of those voters polled said it was mostly good for her to turn to you as a chief advisor. mr. clinton: well, that is nice.

clinton. trish: leslie, we are getting reports that democrats are starting to get nervous, understandably so when you look headway bernie sanders is making against hillary clinton. they're starting to wonder whether or not they need another person in the ring. there is talk of joe biden. do you think it is going to happen? >> no. i don't know what democrats you're talk to, i and my otherdemocrats we're very confident hillary will be standing on platform. people i know senator sanders who i like personally and have great respect for, it is not a fear. he is certainly a democrat. he represents more left side of the democrats. if you look at poll numbers, even though trump is going to town, i mean she has trumped trump in the polls. looks like one she has most to worry about is jeb bush. we're a long way away. i do agree with rich on this, which is, it is not -- american people, honestly i don't even think they care what is in the emails. people already think of her as guilty aren't going to volt

this is the best thing for hillary clinton to do. because unless or until the republicans or the justice department can actually find something that she hid or find something that was inappropriate within these e-mails none of it really matters to the voters and none of it is going to affect her chance he in 2016. >> do you really 30 it doesn't matter to the voters given trustworthy allegations that we have? the vast right wing conspiracy days there's a general consensus that using the private server was at the very least not a good idea. >> well here's the thing antonio, does anyone ever really trust the clintons, no, hillary clinton is not running for president because she's the most trustworthy president but because she will get things done. she'll do the things that barack obama was afraid to do or she'll do things that won't make the issue is can something actually be discovered from these e-mails that shows that trust was betrayed as opposed to she's just a shady person? and that so far has not occurred. same thing with benghaz

i like hillary clinton a lot. but left to their own devices they find way to move to the middle, get that leadership council, you have guy from your left like bernie sanders pushing you on minimum wage and pushing you on income equality and economic immobility. the speech tomorrow will be what we want to hear. >> dickerson: that's exactly -- he's not going to become president but he has tugged the presumptive nominee to the left. that is his achievement. >> both are the bombastic bush-kins of the cycle. bernie sanders function, i think, as a rebuke to the elite. and rebuke to the way things are. and it is a populous. it's right into people, i know how you feel about things, it ain't fair. >> i want you to put bernie sanders and donald trump in two different categories. donald trump was not a rebuke but that's not to say about income and equality. >> i don't think it's the same. but it has the same populous feel. coming from a different place -- >> on policies -- >> they are appealing to people who are ticked off.

to bill clinton. hillary clinton denied yesterday wrongdoing but you have to wonder are there emails about any of those situations that could come out. we're expecting it middle of the day that we'll start seeing some revelation, leland. >> we know you will be going through them. ed, you broke the story yesterday about joe biden and some concerns inside of the clinton campaign about biden jumping into the race. have you gotten anymore overnight? >> reporter: overnight the clinton camp said there may have been a brake fast what i reported on last night between louis sussman, a major democratic donor and chief of staff to vice president joe biden. i'm told by democratic sources that sent tongues wagging in the clinton camp that joe biden was having aides to test the waters. could he raise money to challenge hillary clinton. they're down playing it. they're not changing strategy. they're not worried about joe biden or others getting in. we're hearing whispering secretary of state john kerry is reaching o

look, hillary clinton and bill clinton are a husband and wife team, right? and the fact that she is giving political favors to ubs and he is getting a million dollars in speaking fees -- trish: million 1/2. >> that could be illegal. trish: well, you bring up, a very important thing. people have been calling for investigation into the clinton foundation. >> called graft. trish: in all of this, for sure. i want to get back to julie, talking about the polling numbers. julie you were saying it is baked in. i don't know, look at bernie sanders pulling ahead there in new hampshire, that surprises me. i made this comment yesterday. i am from new hampshire, even if they're democrats they are fiscally conservative in new hampshire. bernie sanders, a socialist, god forbid, vermont, new hampshireites, granite staters will not go for that. >> first of all democratic primary so not your typical fiscally conservative new hampshire electorate. but more importantly, with bernie sanders, bernie sanders much like donald trump has captured imagination of the base. whether he c

plus hillary clinton addresses race. and justice. >> stand up and say, loudly, and clearly, yes, black lives matter. >> while rival bernie sanders draws a contrast on the minimum wage. >> if you work 40 hours a week, you have a right not to be living in poverty. >> "inside politics," the biggest stories, sourced by the best reporters, now. welcome to "inside politics" i'm john king. thanks for sharing your sunday morning as we share with you some fascinating results from our brand-new cnn poll assessing the trump effect. yes, the trump effect on the race for president. with us this morning to share the reporting and the insights, cnn's mae breasten, cnn's mallika henderson and if you thought donald trump was a passing fancy in the race for president think again. our brand new poll releasing just now finds a majority of republicans want mr. trump to stay in the gop race. this is interesting though. one-third of republicans wish he would quit the race entirely. this one even more interesting. 15% of republicans and gop lea

hillary clinton: thank you for that. no other presidential candidate was secretary of state when this process started. i put together a thorough, deliberative, evidence-based process to evaluate the environmental impact and other considerations of keystone. so i will refrain from commenting because i had a leading role in getting the process started. i think we have to let it run its course. john: putting aside the keystone invasion that evasion, on the climate plan more broadly, good policy? we asked the same question about the tax plan. mark: it is good policy within the democratic party and more broadly, to be for solar panels and more renewables without a doubt, it puts the republicans somewhat on the defensive, but this was not a big, bold sweeping plan in dealing with carbon the way a lot of people in the democratic party would like. and i think you cannot put the keystone thing aside. bernie sanders and martin o'malley has spoken. i don't understand why it's you know so much about it, she won't take a position. jo

clinton: i want you to hear this. bringing millions of hard-working people into the formal economy would increase our gross domestic product by an estimated 700 early in dollars over -- $700 billion over 10 years. then there are the -- when we get americans moving we get our country moving. let's established an infrastructure bank that can channel more public and private funds. [applause] mrs. clinton: channel those funds to finance world-class airports railways, roads, and bridges, and ports. [applause] mrs. clinton: and let's built those faster broadband networks and make sure there is a greater diversity of providers so consumers have more choice. [applause] mrs. clinton: and there is no excuse not to me greater investments in cleaner renewable energy right now. [applause] mrs. clinton: our economy runs on energy and the time has come to make america the clean energy superpower. these investments will create millions of jobs, save us money in the long run, and help us meet the threats of climate change. let's fund

hillary clinton? >> no, i don't. this is certainly an investigation that's serious and will take place. i don't think it is going to derail secretary clinton. it's not going to derail her or knock her out of her standing as the front runner on the democratic side of the aisle. ultimately you'll get this passed but it's a serious investigation. >> does it hurt? look if you had one of your candidates you were advising in a race and looking at 62% of the voters of your own party think that this candidate is not trustworthy, and then there's a headline that says clinton sent classified e-mail from private server and that comes after she denied it, that would be trouble to you right? >> well i would want this article to come out in july of the year of before the presidential race. so coming out in july of 2015 is much better than coming out in february of 2016. the actual presidential election year. she has a lot of time to rebound from this, from the polling numbers, from the distrust that many americans

or is hillary clinton doing something wrong? >> i think he's an ideal protest candidate for hillary clinton. his message is right on point. it's right there along with elizabeth warren's. he's shown he's been able to raise some money and he's getting these voters revved up. i think the fact of the matter is hillary clinton is not aiming to do these kinds of events. she's doing small, one-on-one house parties and for bernie sanders to be able to do the opposite and show he can draw these big crowds just helps him out. i can't point to a single thing and say hillary is doing this wrong. but i think there are a certain number of voters unsettled by a hillary clinton candidacy and bernie sanders speaks to that crowd. >> also unsettled by what their expectations were for the obama presidency, too. there is a cohort, john, of white liberals that feels like the obama presidency has not lived up to the expectation. and obviously they blame part of that on republicans in congress. part of it on the supreme court. but there is a deep unea

the obama's hate the clintons and the clintons hate the obamas. there is nothing more. lou: donald trump is driving them crazy as well as getting stronger in the polls. >> i mean i guess i see it -- i'm so cynical, i see it as much more tactical than that. i think they love what donald trump is doing, because what he's doing is ostensibly the optics are it's oppositional, what he's doing is locking in the extremist right wing to, in the primaries, which no one has to be committed to for the general, and i think brad said something really smart that one of the candidates was running for vice president, and i think we will see trump running for vice president. it would be a magical, in a scary way, mix. [ laughter ] >> you're coming from the left here, you say that's scary. the republicans are saying, give us something else like this to be afraid of. i mean, the reaction here is it's absolutely visceral on the part of the voters supporting him, don't you think, brad? >> i think so, and listen, lou we've talked about this before i love having trump in this. it's drawing at

mark: hillary clinton is expected to speak. we will bring you her remarks here in new york at 1:30 p.m. betty: president obama visits kenya and ethiopia this weekend. what he hopes to accomplish. mark: amazon has been pushing regulators for permission to use delivery drones and now they are teaming up with google, verizon, and others to create a special air traffic control system for drones. betty: good afternoon. i am betty liu. mark: i am mark crumpton. thank you for joining us. let's begin with a look at the markets. stocks are falling for a fourth day in a row led by disappointing results from several companies and declines in biotech and raw materials. we see shares of amazon rise after the e-commerce company reported a surprise surge and withis in talks to reunite visa europe, and is up. the indexes advanced is less than half of the s&p 500 through thursday's trading. as you see here -- the divergence here, the bloomberg terminal. the monday ibm earnings made an impact in the day after his when we got apple, microsoft, ch

clinton. the campaign released a statement saying contrary to the initial story which has already been significantly revised she followed appropriate practices in dealing with classified materials, as has been reported on multiple occasion any released e-mails deemed classified by the administration have been done so after the fact and not at the time they were transmitted. earlier today "new york times" reporter michael schmidt who broke the story pushed back on that statement. >> they said it was a substantial change we made to the story. i don't think it was. i think it was -- i think it sort of refocused the lead of the story and such. it was very strong. they came at us very strong and very late and very forcefully. and it was certainly something they jumped on much harder than back in march when the initial story came out. that pushback was very different and far more muted. >> this news comes at the bad time for hillary clinton. the new quinnipiac poll shows voters in three key states i

american democrats don't trust hillary clinton. the numbers are close to a majority. whenever you oar front runner and it seems like more people are against you than for you doesn't that allow for somebody like bnsdz to slip in? >> the only way that bernie sanders can really slip in and make a difference if he can capture a demographic group more so than hillary clinton. rand paul is dangerous to a republican front of party because he's got the youth vote on lock. but bernie sanders doesn't have that. he's not winning against hillary with older voters, not winning against her with younger voters. he's not going to win against voters. i don't know what bernie sanders ceiling, but not close enough that would make hillary worry right now. >> about the arizona minorities? arrogance. if you oar democratic candidate running for president right now you have to expect protest from immigration groups, from lgbt, groups and from black lives matters groups. it's part of the job and if you're not prepared to handle that then you shouldn't be r

[cheering] hillary clinton: and another is my husband, bill clinton. [cheering] hillary clinton: two democrats guided by -- oh, that will make him so happy. [laughter] hillary clinton: two democrats guided by the fundamental american belief that real and lasting prosperity must be built by all and shared by all. [cheering] hillary clinton: president roosevelt called on every american to do his or her part and every american answered. he said, there is no mystery about what it takes to build a strong and prosperous america. equality of opportunity, jobs for those who can work, security for those who need it, the ending of special privilege for the few -- [cheering] hillary clinton: -- the preservation of civil liberties for all -- [cheering] hillary clinton: -- a wider and constantly rising standard of living. [cheering] hillary clinton: that still sounds good to me. [cheering] hillary clinton: it's america's basic bargain -- if you do your part, you ought to be able to get ahead. and when everybody does their part, america gets ahead, too. that bargain

they do not trust bill or hillary clinton. they think that they will put one foot in wall street and one foot in the big money, which they have and they will not represent left wing -- the left policy agenda. >> how weird should healthing hillary rodham clinton lg hillarying healthing be? >> i don't think she has much to worry about. he doesn't have the establishment support. he doesn't have very broad based support, so the polls show from -- comes from one of the whitest states in the country. >> 1% of vermont. >> there is a more anti-hillary sentiment here than pro-bernie sanders sent meant here. loo if he represents -- bernie sanders represents the liberal base which is the beating heart of the party now on the bottom era, james, doesn't that give him a shot perhaps to at least give her a scare maybe in iowa maybe win in iowa, maybe give her a scare in normal new hampshire? >> yeah. that liberal base that left wing base you might call it has gotten much bigger in the obama era as we've been talking about. whenever a candida

foundation as well as another clinton connected company. this has never been done in state department history. so hillary, why go through so many hoops? the white house told you you couldn't hire cynthia blumenthal. you put sydney on the clinton foundation payroll and e-mailed him about security issues at a time when he represented interests that would benefit in the fall of gaddafi in libya. those e-mails were actually hacked by another group. so much for the secure private server argument. to top it off, you didn't turn those e-mails over. we find out about them when blumenthal turns them over pursuant to a subpoena. hillary, you just hid and deleted our e-mails. you were conducting the people's business in a manner that prevented anyone from knowing about it. and if that isn't intent to hide secrets, deceive, and defraud the american public, i don't know what it is. so why? were you afraid that people might find out the reasons for your shift in policy decisions or were donations to the clinton foundation connected to the sale of arms ar

opposition to president clinton. is hillary clinton for big government? or does she agree that it should be over? >> the truth is, these kinds of discussions about the size of government are besides the point. it is about how to make the economy work for people. you don't want a big government that is not working, that is not solution-safe. you want a government that is helping the private sector. that is how we create jobs. state, national, local governments help the private sector create jobs and ultimately raise wages. this was a bit of false debate on big government versus small government, we want an effective government that supports economic growth and not just economic growth, but fairness in the economy. middle incomes rise again. mark: is a right to say that what she is proposing will increase the size of the government? >> take profit sharing. it is realigning the incentives in our tax codes to ensure middle income employees, not just management but workers, benefit from profitable firms. that is not reall

. >> clinton talks trust. the democratic presidential front-runner responds to questions about her vulnerabilities her controversial e-mails and her republican rivals. stand by for the first national tv interview of her 2016 campaign. hillary versus donald. she says she's disappointed in her old friend and former campaign contributor for his shocking remarks about mexicans. and tonight clinton is accusing the other gop candidates of not being all that different from trump on the crucial issue of immigration. plus midair collision. an air force fighter jet and small plane collide in mid flight reigning down debris over a large area how could this happen. and failure to train, the pentagon acknowledges a stunning lack of progress teaching syrian rebels to fights isis. critics say it is more proof that the president's isis strategy isn't working. welcome to our viewers in the united states and around the world, wolf blitzer is off today, i'm jim sciuto, and you're in the situation room. the attack. the controvers

clinton is proposing. >> candidate clinton is posing a progressive scale for capital gains taxes for wealthy americans. we are waiting on paper for all the details out there after her speech today. i like to see the paper but according to wall street journal she would increase the rate for profits on investments held for one to two years from the current 20% to the current ordinary top income tax rate of 39.6%. this would kick in for taxpayers making more than $400,000 a year, people making less would continue to pay at the lower 20% rate. than the rate for high earners would decline on a sliding scale down to 32% and all the way back to 20% on investments held at least six years. >> this means from the moment investors buy into a company they will be more focused on its future growth strategy and its immediate profit. >> the clinton campaign says the proposal is designed to remove incentives for, quote, short term and the line investments towards long-term value. cheryl: thank you very much, wall street not liking what they heard. also this affecting mrs. clinton, called growing lou

mark: hillary clinton there. joining us now, a longtime clinton advisor. she's the president of the american center for progress. there are going to be more speeches to come. what was the point of this speech at this time in the campaign? guest: i think hillary really wanted to identify the central economic challenge we face which is that we are growing and we can grow stronger. the central challenge we have is that incomes are not rising fast enough and she has ideas about how to do that, new ideas to add to the mix. she wanted to communicate to voters what her goal and priority will be. i think presidential elections are really tests of vision. she is giving people a look at what her vision is. mark: there has been a lot of critique of not just the speech, but the general economic policy out of the clinton campaign, that it is in opposition to go -- to president clinton's line that "bigger government is over." neera: i think the truth is that these kinds of discussions about the size of government really are beside the point. it's really about how to mak

clinton said yes. in june 2009 senior white house adviser david axelrod sent clinton a get well message on her private account, seemingly contradicting axelrod's claim this month he was surprised bill daley had no idea clinton was using a private server. >> i think it is unusual. he was the chief of staff. i confess i was there. ways a senior adviser. i didn't know that. >> reporter: now axelrod clarified today he knew clinton had a personal e-mail account but did not she used it exclusively or that she had a personal server. meanwhile john kirly abouts revealed that to shield separate clinton e-mails from the benghazi committee the administration has now invoked executive privilege, a very rare move bret. >> ed henry live at the state department, thank you. >>> hillary clinton was already facing negative numbers in public polling about her honesty. political analyst brit hume is here with some of the back story on clinton's ongoing struggle on that front. >> nearly 20 years ago, the late columnist wil

and bill clinton. the history between clinton, bill clinton and george bush is more recent. i don't think it will take much to scratch that. >> they were like brothers from a different father or mother same father. any way, there was a time when hillary clinton said she'd never get in to politics. bill told "time" magazine hillary told him a long time ago i will never run for office i'm too aggressive and nobody will vote for me. cornell, is that the real hillary? it is very much self recognition that she can be aggressive as a politician. is she saying i'm not electable when they were dating. >> our politics awards aggressiveness. i work for a guy named senator obama who they thought he was too aggressive. but our policies award aggressiveness. trump is awarded because he is going out on those issues that the core of his party loves in a way that jeb bush and others are holding back on. >> will that work for a woman, heidi? >> she was right on at the time she made the comments. not only is it harder but especially as an aggressive woman. >> can they be as rough and ready as

as long as bill clinton is being quiet, it fills a vacuum. it appeals to some independence in a way that very few independents are. john: as long as his approval rating gets better, his role can only help hillary clinton. he's got the biggest megaphone in the world, even bigger than donald trump and it rallies the democratic base, which is important. he has the voice of authority that helps one it comes down to hillary clinton. mark: he has passed the commander-in-chief threshold by definition. there is almost no one in the republican field who is there. the one to our closest, people like jeb bush or john kasich they are not all the way there. as long as the president has that monopoly, he has the authority. john: this part of obama is something that people have agreed with -- the rational obama, saying all you kids yelling out here, americans don't actually like that kind of politics. when obama says that, i think a lot of people say he is speaking for me. [bell] mark: on saturday in iowa donald trump attacked scott walker's record in wisco

when you want to compare transparency of what secretary clinton has done compared to others, the clintons have released itemized -- where they're speaking fees came from, consulting fees. jeb bush said he was setting the standard for disclosure when he did this. he has $19 million in businesses he has not identified. i one not challenge him but i will say if you are setting the standard for transparency you want to say we are $19 million came from. mark: they feel very lucky to be so wealthy. is that a potential vulnerability for voters? joel: the clintons feel very blessed to have the success they have. i think voters want to know whether people really get them whether they will fight for them every day. about whether their kids will get educated, if their incomes will go up. we have a history with anyone -- franklin roosevelt was one of the wealthiest residents we ever had and did not stand up for the average people -- i think they measure people by what they do people like them. that is what this election will come down to. john: you are never going to convince me the idea that they re

clinton losesn all three states to all three men. ed henryrwmb8ñ covering the clinton campaign. the clinton people concerned about this quinnipiac poll or early polling at all? >> they insist to me they are not. they say this is a one off poll that there have been other polls showing that in head-to-head matchups with republicans she ispú winning comfortably. they think the quinnipiac poll is off. this is why we need to be skeptical of what they are saying on that. quinnipiac did the same poll in these battle grounds back in april. hillary clinton was already under water on the honesty and trustworthy question. it's gotten a little worse since then with the emails and clinton foundation. back then in april. she was still beating republicans handily in these kind of republican matchups. now she is not beating them. here is what you didn't see in the headline in that poll by the way. another nugget. bernie sanders, the socialist democrat, is doing as well or better than hillary clinton against those republicans. jeb bush, scott walker, and marco rubio in the key battleground sta

do you think hillary clinton break the law? >> it's crystal clear she broke the rules and that she has been engaged in a cover-up of lots of things. benghazi, the fact she broke the rules. how amazing she's had the server in the basement and decides to wipe it clean two years after she leaves the state department and just before she gets ready to run for president. of course she's engaged in the cover-up and of course she's broken the rules. >> ms. mcintosh, here are two inspectors generals, two government watchdogs who said in the referral to the fbi that there was classified information that was being transmitted, classified information at that time. not subsequently. that it's still classified and that this is information that never should have been transmitted to a private e-mail. >> you know questions about the e-mails have been asked and answered for months. she said repeatedly that she's looking forward to testifying before the committee and i know she intends to do that i think she's very smartly kept her presidential c

clinton? what were you hiding? >> well there's that and there are two other facets beyond that story. there is the foundation which works with hundreds of millions of dollars that i guess did business through that maybe we don't know. and former president doing speeches taking in millions of dollars. were they all connected? we'll never know. >> as you remember you had me on when this first broke. i told you at the time that there was democrats very close to the clintons folks i've known for years that told me follow the money. there may be a connection between the e-mail controversy and what then was an older controversy about the clinton foundation. are there any e-mail that's were deleted that may still be on the server if the server still exist that's have a connection to the foundation. you have to consider any e-mails about donors. i don't know. the problem is we may never know and now there is this lack of trust. it may not show up on the polls. steve may be right. they may say i'm not

we'll get a lot more on the clinton e-mail controversy in the show. right now i want to bring in the independent senator from vermont, bernie sanders, who joins me from new orleans. he has been spending the weekend in louisiana. senator, welcome back to "meet the press." >> good to be with you, chuck. >> you're in louisiana so let me start with the tragic news there. get into the politics of it a little bit, which is having to do with the issue of gun control. a lot of democrats, president obama has expressed some remorse that he hasn't been able to make more progress on gun control. and you continue to walk a -- straddle a line here. you talk about you're sort of pro nra votes in vermont, having to do with being about vermont. >> chuck, chuck, that's not what i said. i come from a state which has virtually no gun control, and yet i voted to ban certain types of assault weapons. i voted to close the gun show loophole and i voted for background -- instant background checks. what i said is that a nation -- as a nation we can't continue screaming at each
