bock be bob beckel is back and van jones and angela rye. angela and van, not sure if you understood my question. yes, i agree. black lives matter very important. but i asked the question and this is what i think bob was trying to say. where are the people shouting down presidential candidates on both sides of the aisle for kids who are gunned down innocently, for people who are killed every single night. explain that to our audience. >> i think a couple of things. that's the gun control movement. that is what folks are standing for whether you are talking about jordan davis' mother who is standing with other moms who kids have been lost to gun violence whether it was from a gangster as bob said or from a rogue police officer or vigilante. it's the same thing. and so that is a battle that there are bills that have been proposed. we couldn't get background checks bill passed through the senate. that should have had bipartisan support. >> it doesn't get covered but you say it happens every day. >> there are stop the violence organizations all

mj lee, tal kopan and angela rye. let me go to you first. a miracle is the word john king just used. even if bernie sanders could win california, she has got the clear delegate advantage here. >> well, that's absolutely the case. i think hillary clinton has demonstrated why she's been formidable from the outset. tonight with these wins, not only with the pledged delegates but also with the superdelega delegates, one of the most notable quotes from this past week was, how are you going to talk about us this february and then court us in april, talking about bernie sanders? so even if there wasn't a clear pledged delegate problem, he also has a super delegate problem, which makes it really impossible mathematically. john, that was for you at 3:45. >> i appreciate that, angela. thank you so much. you know, bernie sanders doing something interesting though. he put out this statement overnight where he talked about how this will now be an issues-based campaign. he looks forward to an issues-based campaign, competing until the last votes are cast,

ron brownstein, angela rye, and dylan byers, cnn senior media and politics reporter. the dream team, you guys, to unpack what happened last night. >> they would rather be dreaming and sleeping. that may be more accurate. >> maybe. maybe. but let's go with it. let's talk, ron brownstein, about donald trump and this coalition he has built of support. it was there in full force last night. he now needs 50% of the delegates from here on out to clinch the nomination. >> this continued what we saw in new york. it was an lute breakthrough night for donald trump. up until new york, he had not reached 50% of the vote in any contest. now he's reached it in six straight. not only was there depth of these victories as mj was talking about, the size of them. it was the breadth of them. he did better than we have seen him do in the exit polls in any state now. in new york, pennsylvania, connecticut, and maryland, those are now his four best states among women, among men, among republicans, among voters without a college degree, and they tie for his best state among voters with a co

you know, angela rye, where is the camp -- we have live pictures of hillary clinton at a senior center in harlem. as soon as she starts talking, we'll take the comments live. angela while we're waiting, tell me where you think we are right now hours after the cnn debate, just a few days before the new york primary. >> i think to tie it back to the vatican trip, i'm going to be cynical and say this has everything to do with a weak spot for bernie sanders. bernie sanders was criticized for his religious believes and how he's engaging religious people. were him to go to the vatican at a time where it looks like he says he's deeply spiritual but didn't say much more, i think it was smart. and maybe his campaign folks will realize that one day. it's also interesting because the debate last night was fierce. i don't know that we expected anything different with them being brooklyn. one of them an adopted daughter and one a native son as he referred to hymn. because it was so tense, it was time to bring civility back to the discourse. what better place than at the vatican. >> you can't turn t

we'll continue this discussion. >>> back now with bakari sellers, angela rye, and bruce levell. bakari was saying he can't wait until november when he can use trump's misogynistic words against him. >> everyone in the world is using the word racist on donald trump except donald trump. mr. bakari since you're with a candidate and the young lady does haven't a candidate. >> angela. >> i'm sorry. angela. he's met a tremendous amount of pastors from over the country. we had several meetings to bring what they have going on in their community about how the trump campaign or how the donald trump presidency could help their communities. and, you know, i disagree you saying he doesn't understand what's going on in black communities. first of all, have you ever met him before? no, you haven't. i have. i know him very well. you take the time to go down to trump towers and go out and visit all the people that wore for him, you're going to sit and tell me he doesn't understand african-americans? dude, are you serious? >>. >> yes, i'm serious. >> it's like you're -- >> i'm sorry. mr. levell,

former executive director of the congressional black caucus and a democrat, angela rye. thanks for being here. the debate, angela, over the debate. what should happen? >> one, i absolutely e agree there should be a debate. i hope they can work out the debate soon because folks continually demonstrate they want to hear from these candidates. the differences i think are surmountable. i've talked about this often, the fact their voting records were 93% similar in the senate when hillary clinton served as a senator of new york. i think the frustration here is the gap has tightened and the clinton campaign feels like there have been enough debates but i think the reality of it is for bernie sanders, who's currently the underdog, although he's closing in on the gap, he wants to demonstrate why he can be the democratic nominee and he's got to have some more air time if he's going to do that after this wisconsin primary coming up. of course he's pushed for the debate to be after that because he thinks he'll come out strong and on top. >> buck, what do you think? who do you think

joining me now is maria cardona, van jones, and angela rye. good evening, everyone. >> hey, don. >> hello. so it's tomorrow, angela. i'm going to start with you. tomorrow is a big day, right? hillary clinton may have, you know, what she thought -- she thought she would be ahead, way ahead of bernie sanders, and that she would have pivoted to the general right now. but still he's in this. what do you think is going to happen tomorrow? >> well, i think that hillary clinton is the likely winner tomorrow. i think the reality of the situation is that it is probably not going to be as large a margin as the polls are predicting right now. i know we certainly saw an upset in michigan with those polls and we also know that at this same time in april 2008, bernie -- i almost said bernie. bernie obama, i almost said. barack obama was beating hillary clinton by just 3 percentage points in the national poll. so we've also seen this same type of pattern. >> governor granholm on this program said that in her estimation, hillary clinton stayed in the race in

rye. thanks to both of you for coming on. >> good to be with you. >> robert, let's start with you because we see this interaction. it's a side of her we don't often see. what do you make of it? is she frustrated with repeated questions about that? >> can i tell you, as a clinton supporter, as a democratic national committeeman, i was pleased to see her finally take on these lies in this campaign of slander and misinformation that's being led by the sanders campaign. i mean, obviously the charge itself is false. and the fact that the sanders campaign continues to perpetrate, keep it going, i should say, is a much bigger problem. so, you know, it's a very genuine exchange. it's real. it's authentic. and it's about time. i'm glad she did it. >> you know, angela, i've seen other headlines that say this was an outburst, she's flipping out, she's losing her cool. it made us wonder if a male presidential candidate had this kind of tone, would there be the same reaction? >> i would argue of course

angela rye, cnn political commentator and congressional black caucus and from the new hampshire survey center. welcome to both of you. >> thank you. >> angela, is rosie o'donnell right? you hear bernie sanders talking about a revolution but you never hear him talking about reaching across the aisle and convincing republican members of congress to get his ideas through. >> a couple of things, carol. first of all, bernie sanders' campaign tag line is so similar to barack obama's in 2008 and 2012. his is a future to believe in. of course, barack obama's was change you can believe in. so, he went a couple of words short from what barack obama's statement was. i think our reality now is that hillary clinton, if there's a spectrum, is closer to pragmatic than barack obama was and continues to be and bernie sanders is a whole lot more idealistic. well, somewhere in the middle is where things get done in washington. i think barack obama did have a few pie in the sky ideas. there was health care for all, vis-a-vis obamacare or the affordable care act. what bernie sanders is pushing, which is me

. >>> back with me, bakari sellers, angela rye and bruce lovelle. >> it's interesting, don, everyone -- [ no audio ] -- the young lady doesn't have a candidate. >> angela. >> i'm sorry, angela. we had several meetings to bring what they have going on in their community about how the trump campaign or how donald trump presidency can help their communities, and, you know, i disagree you saying he doesn't understand about what's going on in black communities. first of all, have you ever even met him before? no, you haven't. i have. i know him very well. you take the time to go out to trump towers and go out and visit all the people that work for him, african-americans, women from all over, you're going to sit there and tell me he doesn't understand african-americans? dude, are you serious? >> yes, i'm serious. >> go ahead, bakari. >> mr. lovelle, i apologize i don't have time in my schedule to visit trump tours. we are a year removed from tamir rice. and we're about a year removed from walter scott where he was gunned down and shot in the back and it was on camera. we have these instanc

back with me now, angela rye, book beckel and bill press. someone asked me what it was and i said the shade. the shaded name. >> that's a new one. shield. >> like an eclipse. >> let's move on and talk now about bernie sanders. bill, bernie sanders may be down but he's not out. reports show his team is spending more than a million dollars for campaign ads despite laying people off. the clinton campaign isn't spending a cent. is bernie sanders going to pull out some wins in the coming weeks, do you think? >> sure he will. when he says he's not out, look, he knows there's a slim to none chance he's going to be the nominee of the party but he wants the primaries to continue and they will, just like they did under hillary clinton wanted them to in 2008 for a couple of reasons. one, so that everybody in every state can get to vote. former democratic chair of california, you know, the california primary since 1968, we want the california primary to have a chance to choose between these two candidates and the other thing that bernie is really intere

. >> jeffrey lord, trump supporter, and commentator angela rye from the black caucus. jeffrey, hillary clinton says she has experience dealing with men that go off the reservation in their behavior and what they say. who is she talking about? >> oh, erin, i cannot possibly imagine who she's talking about. i mean, that was so painful for the whole country to watch. i'm not even sure i want to go there. i will say on a serious note that she, herself, has been accused by women of being an enabler in terms of the relationship with bill clinton and that's a serious deal. but i would like to say i find it quite fascinating when sarah palin is accused of being a moron and idiot and every liberal feels free to mock her wardrobe, this, that and everything about her, liberals doing this. nobody says a peep. the moment donald trump says something about the woman card, then hillary is just a god. such a double standard. >> this is a charge trump leveled at hillary clinton more than once. today he tweeted crooked hillary clinton, perhaps the most dishonest person to have ever run f

let's talk it over with angela rye and mark lamont hill. thanks for coming on. mark, you just heard bernie sanders say we started off modestly but we're going strong the second half. why is that? >> some of it is the luck of the draw and the shape of demographics. he's in states that play to his advantage. white middle class workers are strong in those areas. also he's continued to work the polls, hasn't given up. he's made sure it will be a fight until the big states, maybe until the convention. the problem, though, is the numbers aren't in his favor. eve andai like today where he wins the vote, he still splits the delegates and may lose when it comes to super delegates. even though i love bernie sanders, i'm not sure he's not going to run out of fuel sooner than later. >> angela, from your perspective, why is clinton failing to stop sanders' momentum? >> i think it's quite simple. it's math but in a different kind of way, right. mark just talked about the delegate map, which is clearly not in bernie sanders' favor, especially after today's contest, and despite

angela rye, amanda carpenter, marget ro eet hoover and doug. tara say former communications director for dana rohrbacher. ross say conservative columst for "the new york times." with us as well, trump supporter kayleigh mcenany. how much of a tipping point, amanda, could wisconsin be tomorrow whether it's a cruz win or surprise trump win? >> i think the momentum has already swung into cruz's favor. for so long he's argued if you give me a man to man race, donald trump will shrink under the pressure and cruz will perform well. let's go back a couple of weeks to utah. cruz won overwhelmingly. cruz picked up a lot of delegate support in arizona and north dakota and going into wisconsin where trump was leading at one point by nearly 20 points. cruz is now ahead. that has to do not with trump implosion but also cruz getting support from governor walker who lent him a great state infrastructure and just running a very smart campaign that's built to go the distance and win. >> kayleigh, if trump loses in wisconsin, how does he sn that? it would certai

rye. maggie, with the tax returns, when i heard it was being released friday night at this time i thought, oh, this is a classic document dump. then we see the document it's kind of hohum. >> not much dumping there. i agree with jeff zeleny. the idea here was to drum up interest so there was a clear contrast with hillary clinton. you saw how senator sanders portrayed this last night. i don't have big speeches or big investments. so this was done very deliberately and you heard jeff weaver say, it just took a while to get it out. but also it's very thin. we'll have this going forward. the question is going to be whether he does release additional taxes. we're used to seeing candidates release years and years of them, as you said. this is just sort of a slow dribble but it does keep the pressure on clinton, and there is a lot of interest in the democratic base on these paid speeches of hers. she still doesn't have a great answer about why she won't release them. >> errol, does it make it har

. >> angela rye is the only person who gets her own box here. she doesn't like us. >> i miss you guys. >> the bernie sanders question is this, scale of one to ten, if bernie sanders loses here in new york, he wakes up feeling how much pressure? >> you know, i think bernie sanders continues on. i really do. the pressure is on, sure, but bernie sanders has money, and he has a base of support that is still very enthusiastic no matter what happens here in new york. does he ve a map to victory? not really. but the reason people drop out is because they run out of money and bernie sanders is in no langer of doing that. >> ever. >> $27. $27. >> exactly. >> so many $27. professor neftali, depending on which campaign angle you're looking at it from it will be a different answer, but from your perspective, every day this campaign continues on, what's the impact? >> one of the impacts is americans get excited about elections and they vote and that's a great thing, so that's great. the other impact is it's an effect on both parties. we've been seeing in the

joining me now, all-stars, angela rye, margaret hoover, tara setameyer, former communications director and ross is a conservative columnist for "the new york times." with us as well, trump supporter kayleigh mcenany. how much of a tipping point do you think wisconsin could be? >> i think the momentum has favored cruz. if you give me a man-to-man race, donald trump will shrink under the pressure and cruz will perform well. in utah, cruz won overwhelmingly and now going into wisconsin where trump was leading at one point by nearly 20 points, cruz is now ahead. that has to do with not with trump's implosion but also cruz gaining support from someone like governor walker, a great infrastructure and running a very smart campaign that's built to go the distance and win. >> kayleigh, you're a trump supporter. if trump loses in wisconsin, how does he spin that? because it would take some of the momentum he got from the last big round of primaries and also be an indicator that some of these comments and campaign tactics have really hurt him. >> sure. you want to win every state, obviously. but

rye. welcome to you both. angela, i want to start with you. this subject will probably come up in tonight's debate, and bernie sanders will probably hit mrs. clinton hard on it. is it entirely fair of what -- let me ask it this way. should hillary clinton again apologize for using that term super predator, and does it mean the same thing today as it did back then. >> she has apologized for using the term. i think the problem is it seemed disingenuous when bill clinton was out defending the term and the crime bill. the issue we have now is i would argue there's never been a time for the term super predator to be used to talk about human beings. for me, while i wasn't here for slavery, it remind me of a time when black people were deemed less than human. i think it's never okay to use that type of terminology when talking about a group of people even if they are leaning toward criminal activity. we're in a situation today where if you are born black in this country, you have a 1 in 3 chance

. >> let me bring in former executive director of the congressional black caucus angela rye and former obama administration official van jones, both cnn political commentators. nice to see both of you. let me begin with you, van. i believe your quote was you can't uncurdle milk referring to senator sanders. you have been very sympathetic for him. for his efforts. now what say you? >> well, i mean, i'm a good strong progressive so i've been very excited by sanders and what he's done for the party, what he's done for the country and frankly what he's done for hillary clinton. he's made her a much better candidate but now we're in a situation, when i say you can't uncurdle milk. if the rhetoric keeps escalating and you sour a whole generation on hillary clinton and possibly on the entire process then you wind up doing more harm than good so, you know, i think sanders, the candidate, it looks like he'll not make it, but sanders the cause can still be victorious if he stays in the race and returns to that old bernie sanders that says i don't want to talk about the e-mails, i want to talk ab

joining me now, angela rye, cnn political commentator, former director of the congressional black caucus. jeff zeleny with us. senior washington correspondent. david kataney and donna brazile, democratic strategist, vice chair dnc voter project. let's get to it. bernie sanders huge event. thousands of people. spike lee introduces him. but what everyone's talking about today is the bernie sanders surrogate stepping up to the mic and talking about getting rid of corporate whores, corporate democratic whores. >> what? >> was he referring to hillary clinton, members of congress right? the issue is bernie sanders who spoke later -- apparently there was huge applause when bernie sanders spoke later, never addressed it. let's give him the benefit of the doubt that he did not hear that comment made. took him 12 hours to disavow. >> donald trump when it comes to tweeting habits overnight, donald trump is the tweetin' king. i'm glad that sanders has distanced himself from what i call obscene remarks. i mean, obscene whether it was directed at secretary clinton whether it's directed at members of t
