An hour. not hillary clintons position. i voted against the war in iraq. hillary clinton voted for it. >> so thats very ambitious agenda you just outlined there. you said this week that the biggest mistake president obama made was thinking he could negotiate with speaker boehner and the republican leader mitch mcconnell. how can you get this very ambitious agenda through, which includes, you didnt mention, an estate tax on those who inherit more than $3.5 million. a trillion dollars spent on inf...

The major question is, is hillary clinton in trouble? >> i think a lot of her supporters were pretty excited about her comments with the republican candidates and their position on abortion. she was pointing out that not only do they oppose abortion, but they oppose abortion in cases of rape and incest, and george bush is even farther to the right than his brother was on this issue. i think shes talking about policy, being aggressive, stressing this theme about republicans sort of going back to ...

Driver and the driver hit him in the head. good samaritans stepped in to stop. they were able to snap the handcuffs on the alleged shooter. the suspect has a long rap sheet. he is facing charges and first-degree murder of a police officer. politics now. a new round of speculation over vice president joe biden and if he will jump into the democratic race. he had a meeting with senator elizabeth warren. the two reportedly discussed policy issues. calls are growing louder for biden to run among h...

In front of a joint session of congress. hes going to talk about poverty, immigration, climate change, things theyre not going to like. so how theyre going to respond, all these presidential candidates, republicans, to what pope francis has to say, is going to be as important for their decision on immigration reform for latinos next year. >> you sound excited about that. >> its going to be really exciting, because for many years we had popes that maybe were not that media friendly. benedict xvi ...

The more open position on the issue itself. >> look, i dont like the term anchor baby. i agree that its offensive, but this issue has been completely overblown. latinos are not dumb. they know that jeb bush is good at immigration. he wrote a book where he outlines a plan on immigration reform. hes for legalization. and its kind of funny that hillary clinton blasts him for, you know, not calling them babies or u.s. citizens when just last year, she actually supported the idea of expedit expedited...

Know what anchor baby means. i think people realize now its an offensive term, i doubt theyre going to use it again, but latino voters are going to be looking at issues. hillary is making a big issue of this because democrats are afraid of jeb bush. they know he can be very competitive with latino voters, not only get more latino voter support but actually win the latino vote. >> christine, i want to bring you in on this. we know the economy, clean water, conservation of water, amongst another s...

Dont yell at me behind my ear, though. >> sorry about that. >> the term anchor baby, is that not bombastic? >> what i said was its commonly referred to that. i didnt use it as my own language. do you want to get to the policy for a second? i think people born into this country ought to be american citizens. >> republican donald trump proudly took credit for jeb bushs word choice. >> he is using anchor baby. he put out a memo, you cannot use anchor baby. now because i used it, hes using it. >> th...

Knowingly sent any e-mails that were marked as classified or received any e-mails that were marked as classified. still, this is an issue that continues to dog her campaign. it has led to the erosion of some of the publics trust in her. also added to the speculation that other democrats are considering throwing their hat into the ring, including joe biden. so this is an issue that the clinton campaign really wants to pivot from. im told theyre going to continue to reassure supporters, secretary ...

When i was in new hampshire, i was talking to a number of voters and they were saying they would like to see him tone it down. less on the personal attacks. they say theyre amused by it and thats why hes getting huge crowds, because he is entertaining, but they said they are interested in him, but they want less on the attacks and more on the policy. new hampshire voters are serious about their policy issues. by doing this, hes going to appeal to the people who want to see more meat on the bones...
