We will get to your thoughts in just a minute. About theu think debate . Bernie sanders and Hillary Clinton dominated. We turn to all of you, go outside of washington to get your thoughts on this. Lets begin with one moment from last nights debate when Hillary Clinton was asked about whether or not she is a progressive. [video clip] Hillary Clinton im a progressive, but im progressive enough to get things done. I know how to find Common Ground and stand my ground and i approved that in every position ipad. I have had. Dealing with republicans who never had a good word to say about me. We found ways to Work Together on everything from reforming foster care and adoptions. I have a long history of getting things done, rooted in the value ive always had. AskedBernie Sanders was to explain socialism. [video clip] Bernie Sanders we will explain what democratic socialism is. What democratic socialism is t ist is saying i morally wrong but the top 10 of as muchis country own wealth as the bottom 90 . It is wrong today in a rigged economy that 57 of all the income is going to the top 1 . When you look around the world, you see every other major country providing health care to all people as a right come except the United States. You see every other major country saying to moms that when you have a baby, we will not separate you from your newborn baby because we are going to have medical and family paid leave like every other country on earth. The principles i believe in and i think we should look to countries like denmark, like sweden and norway and learn from what they have accomplished with their working people. Host Bernie Sanders from last nights debate. We get your thoughts on it. Who won last nights debate . Fredericksburg, virginia. Republican. Caller of course, hillary. Linton won Bernie Sanders came in second. Everyone else was a joke. Had any republican debt anything close to what Hillary Clinton had done, they would have been in jail. We will always be a democratic nation due to the illegal immigration in our country. Freebies and goodies will go to all those who are democrats. Host what questions did not get asked of her . Caller about her server. They did not ask. About her server. Host what do you think when we are sickrs said of hearing about these emails and that seems to close the door on it, the discussion being brought up, at least last night . Caller that was a planned question. Im sure they had corresponded before getting on stage to do that. What full would not have done that . Fool would not have done that . Dogs run in packs. Its just like banking stocks. One is going to go down, the other will go down. One will go up, the others will go up. Horribly come incredibly corrupt world. Andonder all the iranians iraqis look at us with such disdain. Our morals come our ethics are out the door. That if you think Hillary Clinton wins the nomination that she will pose a great challenge to whoever is the republican nominee . Republican could beat Hillary Clinton if she gets the nomination . Caller i dont know that she could. Immigrantsillegal that are going to be allowed to cast votes. Everybody needs to understand, the reason we have the immigration problem we have is so that the Democratic Party can arrive at a station when you get free food and free cars and free jobs, free everything, why would you ever go back to doing the correct thing . Host we will move on. From npr, they have a record of who spoke for how long. Hillary clinton dominating with 30 minutes. Bernie sanders at 27 minutes. The other three candidates not getting as much time. Martin omalley with 17 minutes. With 15 and lick in jv coming in last with only nine chafee comingcoln in last with only nine minutes. Caller i think it was a great debate. Hillary clinton and bernie are great candidates. Your previous caller seemed like the typical republican. I thought it was a great debate. Very refreshing and positive. It was not like School Children like the republican debate. Host who is your candidate . Caller i would say slightly Hillary Clinton. If Bernie Sanders whence come i will support him, to o. Host are you concerned that a selfdeclared socialist could win in a general election . Caller what is this thing about socialism . Every time somebody wants to change the system, we always the civilm even to rights time, it was always a communist conspiracy. We are borrowing money from the largest commonest country in the world. As somebody comes up with great ideas and changes, that is fine with me. I dont know if anybody needs to bury worried to be worried. Host candy in iowa. Independent. Did last nights debate move the needle at all for you . Caller down to zero. They congratulated themselves, they patted each other on the back. Like they are supposed to. Everything is supposed to be free. There will never be a check at the end of dinner. Who is supposed to pay the bill . Us. Who will pay the bill for all the Free Education . Everything is going to be free. The roads, the bridges, the schools. Everything will be free. I hate that word. Host because that is what you heard from the candidates last night. Caller yes, i did. Host who is your person, then . Who are you getting behind . Caller right now, im still waiting to see who comes out on top. Like last time around, i will vote for the lesser of two evils. Thats where i am right now. Like you would lean more republican. Is there a republican you would like right now . Caller right now . With republicans right now because i want havingy to instead of a twostep answer to a five mile problem, i want somebody to rip the bandaid off. It will hurt immediately, but it will heal in the longterm. Host john in texas. Democrat. Caller i think hillary did great. Party,as the republican there is no republican who is a leader. They turned to the house of representatives and 20 animal house. Bombed iraq for six years nonstop. The house ofd representatives into an animal house. I will never vote republican because of that. Host our first caller mentioned the email server and the exchange that Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton had over this. Lets show you that moment. [video clip] [applause] Bernie Sanders let me Say Something. May not be great politics. I think the secretary is right. The American People are sick and tired of hearing about your damn emails. [applause] class let me Say Something about the media as well. I go around the country, middleclass is collapsing, we have 27 Million People living in policies haverade cost of millions of these and jobs. The American People want to know what is going to happen with the oligarchy as a result of citizens united. Enough about the emails. Lets talk about the real issues facing america. [applause] that was a moment last night where Bernie Sanders said the country is sick of hearing about these emails. The wall street journal editorial saying this morning that the democrats last night gave Hillary Clinton a pass. The Editorial Board goes on to say this. The debate performance by Bernie Sanders proved he is too far left even for most democrats. Unless Vice President joe biden joins the race, the Democratic Partys clinton coronation is back on schedule. Alice in new jersey. A democrat. Good morning to you. Caller good morning. I thought Hillary Clinton this great. Did great. Bernie sanders is an independent. D in front ofck a his name. He has never been a democrat. He does not want to join our party but he is up on stage with us. He is so far out. He things everything is for free. Hillary clinton did not say that. Host you sound like you are a supporter. What do you make of the she has changed her positions on and othere trade debates . Aller she explained it to what the keystone pipeline. She never gave a position on it. She gave a position after she learned everything about it. Deal, she was for that at the beginning. When it was finalized and part of it had to do with the with the chinese did notshe said now she know that, it never came out until now, so shes against it now. They never questioned anybody in the republican two or three debates theyve had. Nobody questions them when they change their mind. I think hillary will come out on top. She will win. Bernie sanders will never win going up against the republicans. He is not a democrat. Host may i ask how old you are . Review for Hillary Clinton in 2008 . Caller i voted forcaller president obama twice. I wish you could stay in power. But hillary sounds like she will he has screamed over this countrys airports, roads, bridges, everything needs to be redone. When they say it on the other side, donald trump says it, that is a great idea. Do you want joe biden to get into this race . Caller only if Hillary Clinton is if something happens to her, which i doubt. Said,now true what they this was all being done to attack Hillary Clinton. Storysomehow, this email does not disqualify her. Caller if something happened with her, yes, he should get in. If not, no. There is no necessity for them to do that. I want to say with the benghazi, yes, it was terrible. I wish they would be so attacked when we were and where was my military when my friends were killed in the trade center . Host curtis in montana. Republican. Caller good morning. Webb won the jim debate. The rest of them were trying to see who could get the furthest left of Bernie Sanders. I think jim webb would be the that was even close to becoming a candidate. The rest of them, the Democratic Party host who do you like in the republican field . Caller i have not decided that yet. Im just not sure yet. Host sean in pennsylvania. Democrat. Who won the debate . Caller i say Hillary Clinton won it. Host why . Caller i just think she is the best candidate for the Democratic Party. As an africanamerican, we dont have no color up there. Blacks are the majority of the Democratic Party and its like were not being represented. I would hope Hillary Clinton would get a black or latino Vice President. That would encourage our majority. Hampshire, once you start getting into the multiracial states, hillary numbers go up tremendously because blacks and latinos are going to support her. , the blacksite vote and latinos and nations and all the other races and the gays will carry the Democratic Party. It seems like the white vote dont even matter to us no more. With the argument about the clintonte, hillary should focus on getting her silent majority out. Who are some africanamerican or latino names you can give us that you would like to see on the ticket with her . Youer i really cant give know names because they are not putting themselves out there. Alfredo in indianapolis. Democrat. Caller hi. Host go ahead. Caller i think Bernie Sanders and hillary was a close second. Host why do you think he won . Caller he appeals to the millennials and tells the truth. He doesnt have any mud on him. He really appeals to the people feel like enough is enough and we need to take government back, we need super pacs out of our government. Host deborah, you are on the air. I think it was the normal government bs and political bs. All they are saying all the time is they did not give any substance of how and why. They did not say anything last night, all the candidates of you try to avoid the benghazi thing and all the lies and such and such. I dont trust, i dont think anybody really trusts why would we put Something Like that in an office of the president . Thats just lies and deceit. Host there is more to come on the benghazi investigation. The committee is continuing its work. Hillary clinton will be testifying before the panel next week. Go to www. Cspan. Org for more details on our coverage of that hearing on thursday, october 22. Hillary clinton on capitol hill to testify about what happened in benghazi. Jane in new jersey. Independent. Caller hi. How are you today . Impressed that so many people have so many subjects discussed at length. I felt the debate flew by. I was very impressed with Bernie Sanders. I was impressed with how everybody handled themselves, complete sentences and complete thoughts when they spoke. I was very impressed with Bernie Sanders. He had my attention already. Between himce i see and Hillary Clinton, he is casting a vision. Hillary clinton has taken positions on issues. I think she is approaching it in a very workman like way. She reminds me too much of politicians who say we can take things on and then they get to washington and they say you up with on that. You have to wait on that. Host what gives you confidence that Bernie Sanders can do what he says he wants done . Thing, he isne casting a vision. Some of his platforms are not that important to me, when he talks about colleges, but i understand what he is saying. We have a Public Education system that goes to great wealth and he thinks it should go to grade 16. 12 and he thinks it should go to great 16. I am a gun safety person. When he talked about guns, he was so misunderstood, he believes in coalitions. If i can get the rural people in america and urban people to come they canon the things agree on, i have a coalition and we could have more conversations. He has thought through how we can make the vision happened. He will still pursue with passion the things he is talking about now. Candidates any other , a passion for a vision. Positions onking existing subjects. Host i want to show our viewers that moment when Bernie Sanders talks about his position on guns. [video clip] sanders a d, lets understand that back in 1988 when i first ran for the United States congress, i told the gun and people of the state of vermont, i supported a ban on assault weapons. I have strongly supported instant background checks, doing away with the terrible gun show loophole. We have to move aggressively in dealing with the strong been purchases. There are thousands of people in this country today who are suicidal, or homicidal, but cannot get the health care they need because they do not have the insurance or they are too poor. Mentaldy has to get Health Counseling immediately. This was a large and complicated bill. There were positions that made sense. Do i think a gun shop in the state of vermont that sells legally a gun to someone and that someone goes out and does something country, that that gun shop owner should be held responsible . I dont. Where you have gun shops knowingly giving guns to criminals or aiding and abetting that, we should take action. Host Bernie Sanders asked about his position on guns. The followup came from anderson cooper. He asked Hillary Clinton if Bernie Sanders has been tough enough on this issue. [video clip] no, not at all. We lose 90 people a day from gun violence. This has gone on too long and its time the entire countries to against the nra. Stood up against the nra. [applause] even the majority of gun owners support background checks. Senator sanders did vote five times against the brady bill. More than 2 million prohibited purchases have been prevented. For thisid vote immunity provision. I voted against it. It was not that complicated to me. It was pretty straightforward to me that he was going to give immunity to the only industry in america everyone else has to be accountable, but not the gun manufacturers. We need to stand up and say enough of that. Five democrats squaring off last night at the first democratic debate. That exchange over gun control between the two front runners donald trump was live tweeting during the debate last night. Some reaction he had. Here is some reaction on twitter from our audience. Twitter put out some data on last nights debate. How folks were reacting. Most mentioned candidates on waster Bernie Sanders first with 41 , Hillary Clinton with 39 . We cameretweeted debate from Bernie Sanders and then donald trump. Ryan in michigan. Democrat. Good morning to you. I will move on to stephen and oklahoma. Republican. Caller good morning. Points. Hree real clear i noticed the head of the employees union said they did vegas,is debate in las dont you think that was point about the benghazi thing. Everybody knew she was going to be the candidate, they tried to , they try toom her neverl these emails, you agree to give all the emails up. , the parentsit is and families of the ones that died in libya demanded an investigation. It wasnt republicans. People had information on it. They was trying to keep her from saying anything. Already had him in my mind. Businesses giving people 15 an hour minimum wage you know how many people you going to
