Bernie sanders im not going to be determining the scope of the convention. As you know a couple of weeks ago, i had a meeting with secretary clinton. How did that go . Bernie sanders it was very good. I have known secretary clinton for 25 years. We serve in the senate together. Where we are right now is what we are trying to do, which is no secret to anybody is, a, to create the most progressive platform that we possibly can reflecting the needs of working families and students and the environment and health care and so forth. And secondly, were trying to do nothing less than to transform the democratic money. Host that interview if you want to see, the total interview, you can see it twice this evening on cspan, look for it at 6 this evening. And catch it again at 9 30. What role should senator sanders play in campaign 2016 . Well start with joe from jacksonville, florida, a supporter of senator sanders. Joe, good morning. What do you think the role should be . Caller good morning, pedro. Only 400 delegates voted for Hillary Clinton and i know people support Hillary Clinton just the same. He needs to stay and hopefully, it happens like obama. Bernie sanders has baggage between five and 10 pounds. Hillary clinton, she has a baggage of a jumbo jet. And donald trump has a baggage of the astrodome of houston, texas. But he needs to stay out of the way. If Hillary Clinton is my second choice. I vote for her, but she has a lot of baggage, more than bernie. Host from allen, in atlanta, georgia, youre up next, a Bernie Sanders supporter. What do you think the role should be . Caller thank you, pedro, i will be very specific. Number one, the process does not end until the delegates have voted. So he should continue until the delegates have voted. Number two, those who support Bernie Sanders are supporting a movement and not just a political campaign. And the substance of the campaign has got to be a major art of the platform. Im very disturbed by the fact that the super delegate issue including and i say this as an africanamerican, including the position that the Congressional Black Congress has taken on the issue of the over abundance of super delegates influence in the campaign process. So bernie needs to stay. Host do you think there are some chance that he could still become the candidate or if you resolve yourself that hes not going to become the candidate . Caller well, im a pragmatist. I will have to be a pragmatist as an educator to opportunities that that the likelihood of it happening is slim to little. I have resolved myself and my emotions on that fragile, but i have not resolve myself to whether i could vote for secretary clinton. That, i have not reached that point yet. Host connecticut up next and here is robert. Robert, good morning, also identifies himself as a Bernie Sanders supporter. Robert, go ahead. Caller yes, i dont think bernie should get out. A lot can happen between now and november. But bernie, he has the right message. And ones that are supporting his opponent all get the same money from the same place as shes getting it from, wall street. Is taking over again and its time for a change and i do not want bernie to get out and i will not support Hillary Clinton. Thank you. Host thats robert from connecticut. Bernie sanders is still a president ial candidate and expressed he will vote for Hillary Clinton and expressed tchoits will become the nominee. With all that in mind, what role do you think he should play . 2027488000 for those of you who support senator sanders. Or all others, 2027488001. Zuckerman for u. S. News and world report talked about how there is potential discourse might be happening amongst democrats. He writes one might say was a bridge too far. He was proposing to dismantle our financial structure. He games the financial world which he thinks is a wicked wall street for causing the decline f an entire economy host again, divided party is the piece of u. S. News by morty zuckerman. Johnny, from albany, georgia, a line for others. Hello. Caller hello. I dont think senators should have a role in the democratic process. I mean, in the because he is not a democrat. Refuse to raise money for the Democratic Party. He refuse to change as a democrat. All he wanted is a free ride and what he wanted is to raise his retirement check and as soon as he could get four years done and get a bigger retirement check, thats all he was after. Bernie not fooling anyone. And anybody who say theyre supporting bernie not fooling anyone. They know what bernie wants. Thank you. Host las vegas, nevada. Leslie up next. Good morning. Youre on. Caller hi. Im not going to support hillary. Its just ridiculous. Its just too much against her. I would love to see a woman but the right type of woman in the white house someday, perhaps. And i think that my vote would go to trump right now. Ill try the thank you guy rather than have hillary in there. Thank you. Host talk about the role that senator sanders should play from here on out through election day. Caller well, he seems to want to promote his agenda, which, you know, he has his ideas which are pretty good, you know, the free colleges and this and that. I doubt seriously whether it will make any impact on that group. Host why do you say that . Caller i just dont think so. I dont think theres the willingness for them to really change anything that much. Host when you say that group, do you mean democrats overall . Caller yes. Host even with his campaign and his influence, he cant make widespread changes within the party . Caller no, because theres too much corruption. And the people just too paid up by all these corporations. And thats who runs the politicians, mostly. Host on our line for others, carol from ohio. Go ahead. Youre on. Caller yes. I had to completely disagree with that lady that just called. Ill make my comment in a minute. But for someone that wanted went to the far left socialist to be the president , now shes going to go for far, far right. Idiot trump. Anyway, i dont think he should have a whole lot of role. I mean, he lost the election. And i think im like that first caller that called on the others line. I never considered him a democrat because i watched him during in the senate and he was always a very angry old man that just wanted everything. No way in this world that were going to get everything. So his policies was too far left for me. Im a moderate democrat. And i will be voting through hillary. Host Hillary Clintons campaign is a subject in the Washington Post today, talks about her belt to win the rust states saying donald trump is a wakening raging democrats. White who is crossed over for Ronald Reagan in the 1990s. 1980s. Host of the three states, pennsylvania appears most competitive according to a poll last week showed a virtual tie. Host the role that senator sanders should play in 2016. Edinson, new jersey, on the line for all others. Anthony, good morning. Caller good morning. I think its time for him to just get out of the way, mr. Sanders. Hes like a nowhere man. He came from nowhere. He has nothing in his resume as far as accomplishment and hes on his way to nowhere. And besides that, hes leading younger generations. Our children, these millennials that are growing up are being totally misled. Theyre turning into total mushheads. They say that they want all kinds of education. What . Are we turning into socialists and communists . Youre lying to our children, promising them free college and all these things. Whats the sense to empower them to be successful and in a capitalist nation where they have the greatest chance and opportunities. All our generations are soldiers that died to fight communism, socialism, imperialism, nazism. Thats what we fought about all these wars all these years. Our past generations and our refathers wanting us to be a capitalist country and promotes lies. Anybody that doesnt vote for trump has to have rocks in their heads because were 19 trillion in debt. Thank you very much. Host henry up next, new york. A supporter of Bernie Sanders. Caller i took an aspirin before that last telephone call. Mrs. Clinton needs to consider sanders. She should define his role. E reason is that mr. Sanders has a solid percentage of the democratic vote. And as the victor in this selection, she should embrace him and headache amends and offer some type of position not position, integrate him into the platform and beyond the platform. Host so you say maybe a cabinet position . Is that what youre thinking or from there other things she should be doing as far as defining his role . Caller im going to leave that but im possibly, trying to be realistic. I think she will marginalize him and move forward. But i would like to see something practical about this because he has a lot of clout. And a full sense of knowledge. Its foolish to think that she can manage this on her own without 40 of the democratic vote. Host do you think youll see him speak at the convention in philadelphia in july . Caller ultimately, i would like to see him embrace, if nothing else works in terms of exclusiveness and i think that its important inclusiveness and i think that its important for the Democratic Party to establish trump. And i will vote for Hillary Clinton with my eyes open and willingly. Somebodys got to give. Host gotcha. Autry in macon, georgia. Hello. Caller yes. My comment Bernie Sanders is not a democrat. Bernie sanders is telling kids if theyre going to get free college, theyre not going to get free college unless they live to turn 62 and then you can go to college free. I did. I went after i turned 62. But he and donald trump donald trump is filled with hate, racism, bitterness. They need to go off into the sunset. And i read an article that bernie has been diagnosed with early dementia. He needs to go home and sit down. And for the people that say that Hillary Clinton supporters getting money from wall street, ive never got an single dime from wall street, anything in the system. Never got a welfare check. Never got a food stamp. So im supporting hillary. But i didnt get anything from wall street. And to take money from people that do not have money, i rather get it from wall street. Host thats autry from georgia. Donna tweeting out he is best to get out and help get rid of donald trump. Also michael this morning saying that Bernie Sanders should help keep pushing for the issues that got him all that support. Looks like the platform gives him say around the edges. Tweet on our Facebook Page at facebook. Com cspan. A long range interview with Bernie Sanders took place last week on cspan. And you can watch it twice a day. You can see it at 6 30 this evening and at 9 30. Senator sanders talks about his role and other topics in there as well. Look for it on our webpage. For more information is where you can watch it. Well hear from don, senator sanders supporter. Hi there. Caller it will. Are you hello. Are you speaking to don . Host yes. Caller the lady in georgia, no wonder the clintons continue to take the africanamerican vote. Thats how hillary was able to get the nomination like that woman from georgia. Theyll continue to exploit it. She said some very derogatory things about africanamericans. And i have been a democrat post of my life. However, ive been supporting Bernie Sanders because i think he has a progressive platform. E need change. I remember when college was very expensive and within the last two years, it skyrocketed. Many of your Top Economists know that hes telling you the truth. And sofa woman wants to take money from wall street like that la said earlier, shes as corrupt as hillry. Wall street is not going to give her any money because she doesnt count. The black caucus is corrupted. They get money from wall street. Theres an article in the New York Times about that. Theyre not reliable. We have to look at people like bernie. Thats why were supporting him. Im not going to vote for Hillary Clinton. I supported barack obama and i supported Hillary Clinton and her husband. One of bill clintons cabinet members, robert rice who was secretary of labor and a top economist is supporting bernie because he knows what this kins heading towards. People should listen to dick van dining. Hes been around longer than most people. He can tell you that bernie is a new deal democrat. The steps are getting more and more narrower every day. Host ok. Lets hear it from brenda, our line for others. Caller good morning, cspan and the world. I think bernie should be spending his time right now supporting clinton. All these bernie supporters, a lot of you have never been active in politics. And just like bernie, i know how the delegate system works because i know mrs. Clinton has been working on getting the delegates many, many years ago. She has liaisons. She knew where she was doing. She knew the rules to the game and she knew how the game works. Youve got sanders, was not concerned about the delegates. Hes like a kid when you take your kid to the shoe store and one of them needs a pair of shoes and the other one doesnt, the one who doesnt starts whining that its not fair. But i think that bernie and bernie supporters need to get behind mrs. Clinton because i spend a lot of time on the social media. And america is full of people and theyre going to vote for trump. Host lets hear wayne next, huntington beach, california. Hi. Caller hi. I think that Bernie Sanders should definitely stay in the race because theres a good chance that Hillary Clinton will be indicted what she did with the her private server. And she didnt even know how to keep it secured. Shes saying donald trump would be dangerous with his finger on the trigger. Come on, with the codes. Host so youre saying if that would happen, the momentum would switch to Bernie Sanders . Caller im saying that if she got indicted, that he would win the election. Hes already showing on so any polls that hes won when going against donald trump. Host thats wayne in california. Indianapolis is where Hillary Clinton will be today. She gives a speech before the mayors conference there in indianapolis. And she will you can hear that speech live 4 00 this afternoon. Look for more information on cspan. Org. Newspaper on the hill newspaper, talking about gun control issues. The follow um is planned. A day of action as its being described. Democrats saying the suggestive day of action is june 29. The suggested active this anything. Whether its a press conference, round table or telephone town hall, show the democrats in congress will keep up the fight against gun violence. Local partners including survivors, Law Enforcement and faith leaders can be excellent partners in help carry our message further. The democrats lengthy and unprecedented congressional history was a direct response to the refusal of Republican Leaders to consider tougher gun laws in wake of the june 12 shooting massacre where 49 people were killed and another 53 injured by a single gunman. The democrats are pushing two proposals. One to bar gun sales on the f. B. I. Terrorist watch list and another to expand background watch on prospective fires and a day of action. Congress is out until july 5. Election day Activity Still continue for it and campaign 2016 what is were talking about this morning, specifically the role of senator sanders and the role he should play between now and election day. Still a candidate as expressed in some forms that he would vote for Hillary Clinton. Others saying including on cspan thinks he wouldnt become the nom anymore. Were looking to you to see what his role might be between now and election day. 2027488000 for those of you who support senator sanders. And 2027488001 for all others. Off of twitter, jay saying he should be president. And at the phrase stay in bernie. Off of twitter this morning, stella saying all bernie want was to make his mark in history as he has been no more than a lump in congress with no accomplishments. Well hear next from josh, seaside, california, on our line for all others. Josh, go ahead. Caller good morning and thanks for having me. Host go ahead. Caller bernie is just what this last caller said. Is a not for the Democratic Party. He is definitely if bernie was vetted, i guarantee you his poll i mean, the polls wouldnt be what they are right now because of the fact that ie is just trying to get like you say, hes trying to get a good retirement. Hes getting enough charge from e taxpayers 40,000 per day, per day. Havent donated anything to the Democratic Party to have accounts and things like that. So bernie standing for bernie. And for the ignorant people thats calling in, especially race, you better look out because of the fact that bernie is for bernie. Thank you much. Host michael from deerfield beach, florida. Hello.
