Transcripts For CNNW Situation Room With Wolf Blitzer 20160418

A bus explodes in a major city. Almost two dozen people are hurt. Is it a terror attack . Im wolf blitzer. Youre in the situation room. Were counting down to the New York Primary. Its critical for both parties with 95 delegates up for grabs on the republican side and 247 delegates up for grabs on the democratic side. Donald trump says new york is vital. Hes looking to get back on a roll on his home turf after watching ted cruz pick up delegates in state after state with a wellorganized ground operation. Trump accuses cruz of wining and dining delegates accusing gop officials of rigging the delegate system and says if he wins the nomination, he may dump the party chairman. Cruz is predicting a blood bath if republicans nominate trump. Police, meanwhile, say an explosive device set off a fireball on a bus during jerusalems rush hour. 21 people were wounded and another bus and car were damaged. Police say it was an attack but so far theres been no claim of responsibility. And a new warning that north korea is getting ready for another nuclear test. The u. S. Is watching closely with one official saying that kim jongun is taking a, quote, dangerous path. Ill speak with republican congressman Adam Kinzinger. We begin with the gop race and our senior White House Correspondent jim acosta in buffalo, new york, for us. Donald trump playing on his home field. Can he get back on the winning track . Reporter thats right, wolf. After losing a series of contests from wisconsin to wyoming, donald trump is looking to win his first primary in weeks here in new york. Hell be in buffalo here in a couple of hours and hes expected to go back after the gop system of picking a nominee later on tonight. It is a system he calls a sham. One day before the New York Primary, donald trump wants the voters to know how much he loves his home state. Look at the other folks that are running. They couldnt careless about new york. We do care about new york and we care about new york a lot and we care about new york values. Reporter and how much he hates the Republican Party system for picking a president. We have a system thats rigged, a system thats crooked. Reporter at just about every turn, trump is warning the consequences of denying him the nomination. If hes ahead in the delegate count but short of the magic number needed to win. Youre going to have a very, very upset and angry group of people at the convention. I hope it doesnt involve violence. And i dont think it will. But i will say this. Its a rigged system. Reporter for weeks, hes seen delegates slip away to ted cruz in places like wyoming where Party Insiders and activists picked a winner and in states where the real estate tycoon has won, like georgia. If trump fails to win in the first round of voting at the convention. The fact that youre taking all of these people out and wining them and dining them, nobody does that stuff better than me. I just dont want to do it. Reporter escalating into a new war of words with cruz. If im the nominee, we win the general election. Reporter trump is in on the scam saying lying ted cruz cant win with the voters so we have to sell himself to the bosses. Donald, over 1. 3 Million People just voted and you lost all five in a row by huge margins. No whining. He doesnt handle losing well. Reporter trump saying if hes the nominee, buckle up. He told the Washington Post hed like to put some showbiz into the convention. We didnt check with the russians to see how they did there for the ten years. Despite Clint Eastwoods performance back in 2012 and Reince Priebus could be out of a job. Priebus shrugged it off as hyperbole. Since i know what the truth is, i dont really worry about it because i know what is right and what is wrong. Reporter trump is also looking ahead to the general election, meeting with his Diversity Council to improve his standing with minority voters. When i say donald, you say trump. Reporter and hes even coined a new nickname for Hillary Clinton. We have crooked hillary, folks. Crooked hillary. Reporter now, despite his recent struggles, donald trump is poised to go on a roll over the next couple of weeks. The polls show hes poised perhaps to sweep up all of the delegates up for grabs here in new york and then the battle shifts to the northeast and continues to remain in the northeast where hes in a very strong position to continue gathering delegates. That could put some serious distance between himself and ted cruz and john kasich, wolf, if donald trump is looking for leverage with the rnc, he may have it with the next contests coming up. Hes getting ready to speak where you are. The home of the buffalo sab ber the hockey team. It seats almost 20,000 people. Are they expecting a crowd like that . Reporter thats right. Its also the home of wolf blitzer, if im not mistaken. They are bolding predicting that they will fill it up. Taking a look at the crowd right now, they dont have the seats filled all the way up to the rafters just yet but they are hopeful. That would be a good sign if they can pull it off tonight. Certainly would. Buffalo, new york, thanks very much for that. Well stay in touch with you. Senator ted cruz is campaigning in maryland right now. They are predicting a blood bath in november if republicans were to nominate donald trump. Sunlen serfaty is there. Has the senator given up on new york . Reporter senator cruz is not predicting confidence for his chances in tomorrows New York Primary, not in his rhetoric or schedule either. Its all about moving ahead and looking past new york. A Cruz Campaign official telling me that they predict donald trump will do very well in his home state of new york tomorrow. Their goal is just to be able to pick off a few delegates from him. Today, senator cruz was not campaigning outright in new york, holding no official Campaign Event opting for tv interviews, no lastminute campaign rallies. Instead, hes here in maryland. This is a state that votes next tuesday, april 26th, and a state where senator cruz believes he can pick up a few delegates Going Forward and he spoke to this crowd earlier today. Now, maryland votes just over a week from now. Maryland is a battleground. Maryland is going to have an outsized voice as the nation is looking to maryland to decide, do we nominate donald trump and hand the election to Hillary Clinton . No or do we unite behind the Cruz Campaign and beat Hillary Clinton . And thats such a key part of the Cruz Campaign strategy not looking for outright wins in any poll states but rather, according to Cruz Campaign areas in these specific states where they can really target and turn out key republican votes and pick off delegates where they can. A Cruz Campaign official saying not only are they focusing here but in connecticut, rhode island and indiana. Senator cruz will not be new york. He will be in pennsylvania, a state that votes next week as well. Wolf . Its a week from tomorrow. Thanks very much, sunlen serfaty. Joining us now, adam kinsinger. Youre waiting to pick up your mind . Yes. Are you going to be looking at all three at some point . I tell you, i have a hard time ever getting a yes on donald trump. So hes out of it. Hes out. What about cruz . Look, cruz, theres been disagreements with cruz over the past but mainly over tactics, not principle. I could be okay with him and obviously kasich i would really like to see. Its a tough path through a contested convention. All things being equal, first choice kasich and second choice cruz and never trump . Yes. Is the process rigged . No. If the process was rigged, you wouldnt have ted cruz and donald trump as the frontrunns of the party. No, its not rigged. Its just the rules. Each state chooses to do it differently. Its a state. We believe in federalism, the strength of the state. The state can choose the state parties can choose how they want to do nominations. We do a primary. Some places do caucuses. Its the rules. Donald trump basically and all he brags about being able to bring people together and make deals and all of this kind of stuff, hes unable to run for president. Trump says some states do primaries, some states do caucuses and other states do a convention where relatively small percentage of the people, republicans out there, get to make that decision. He says thats rigged because the overwhelming amount of republicans dont have a chance to vote. Its amazing the whining that comes from him when hes not getting his way. He could have gone out and competed in colorado and wyoming. He didnt have a Strong Enough team in place to know what needed to be done. Hes running a strong campaign. Hes the frontrunner for the Republican Party. Im not going to take that away from him but dont whine when you could have gone on the internet. If he wins big in new york and thats what the polls suggest, they could be wrong, next week he wins big in pennsylvania and maryland, connecticut, some of these other states along the midatlantic states, northeast, could that propel them to get that nomination on the first round . Yes, very possibly. I think it will definitely put him in a better position. You see this is a game about momentum. When ted cruz won wisconsin, he had momentum and now it shifts to donald trump after this. The question is, does he get to the magical number . Cruz is going to be competitive in california, be able to peel off some delegates and indiana is going to be a firewall for ted cruz. 1237, thats the magic number. Thats right. 1237 is the magic number he needs in that first round. If hes the republican nominee, i assume you would prefer him over Hillary Clinton or Bernie Sanders . Donald trump . Yes. Yeah, i would prefer them over him. I have a hard time seeing how i get to trump ever. Even if hes a nominee . Im not a never trump guy but when i hear him talk about his Foreign Policy and kneejerk reaction is to say no nato and other things, i put my country above my party. Ill do that any day of the week. Cruz says if trump is the nominee, there will be an elector bloodbath of Walter Mondale proportions. A lot of republicans are fearful the Republican Party could really be damaged. Yeah. And thats the thing. Donald trump is good at branding. He tries to brand this as people in washington being afraid that they are going to lose control. Thats not it at all. Its that people in washington or folks that are in politics understand that he loses huge to Hillary Clinton. Hes the only one getting crushed by her head to head and that has implications beyond 2016. The entire future of the Supreme Court is up, not just in this disappointment that has to be filled but a number of vacancies. This is a serious issue. Youre up for reelection in november. You think if trump is the leader of the republican ticket, the president ial nominee, it could hurt the donald ballot . Yeah, i definitely dont think it helps. Hes got terrible numbers among women and hispanics. Mitt romney won white men to the proportion that Ronald Reagan did and lost millions of votes. We have to grow our party and talk about who belongs and not who doesnt belong. Congressman, other news that i want to discuss with you. I want to take a quick break.

Save on your next car with usaa car buying service, powered by truecar. During a very brief and unannounced visit to baghdad today, defense secretary ash carter announced the United States will send more than 200 additional troops to iraq to serve as advisers and trainers. Attack helicopters are being sent. Were back with Adam Kinzinger from illinois. Is this a good idea to start increasing the number of u. S. Troops . About 4,000 there now. Yeah, i think its a good id idea. It brings back a lot of peoples fear about vietnam. I think what really needs to happen is the president is the determination between zero troops and world war ii level. Somewhere on that spectrum is the amount of force is going to be implemented now. Its really sad to think about that. You served in iraq and afghanistan. I went to iraq. The secretary of defense, ash carter, he goes there for a few hours. Last week, the secretary of state, john kerry, neither one of them can even spend the night in baghdad because apparently too dangerous. They fly in. They dont announce anything. They meet some troops and some folks, they fly right out. They go to abu dhabi or whatever because its not safe. All of these years later, a defense secretary or secretary of state are not even able to spend the night in baghdad. Its well said. It hurts. When i left iraq in 2009 as a military guy, we had the war basically won. Al qaeda, iraq was almost decimated and iraq was a fairly safe place. We can revisit what went wrong after that. But you know, it is sad to see. Im still hopeful that in the long run, after isis is defeated, when the political situation is figured out, that iraq is seen as a success story. Thats my hope and i think the sacrifices will the Iraqi Military, you served a long side of them. The u. S. Spent billions and billions of dollars training the Iraqi Military and for now, two years, they cant even retake the second largest city in iraq, mosul, a city where a lot of u. S. Troops fought and died to take that city and all and isis is still in control. I used to land my plane into mosul just to refuel. Felt totally safe doing it. And, yeah, its sad. One of the problems we saw with the Iraqi Military is you had basically a melting away of good officers. As with any military, you have to have good leaders and that didnt happen. It became, in essence, secularized or segregated into a different kind of whatever you believe. And so that became a problem and the military melted away and its almost like having to rebuild. You have the infrastructure in place but you dont have the leadership in place and thats the hope, to get the leadership in place so that the vast fighting can be you know iraq well. You served there. Theres the shiite leadership, very closely aligned with the iranian shiite leadership over there and then the sunnis dont trust the shiites and then the kurds have their own autonomous area and maybe eventually will have their own state. Can iraq ever really be a unified democratic place that the u. S. Invested to help create after Saddam Hussein . I think eventually. To imagine that somehow they are going to hold hands and unified as the United States is probably not realistic anytime soon. Im sure the kurds will have some level of autonomy in the future and theres going to be a power agreement between the shiites and the sunnis. Iraq looked unified when we left. Its when all of this cancer came in and reignited these tensions and its something that we can eventually see success in. The one thing we have to be very careful of is there are people dividing iraq into three Different Countries and leaving. That will start basically a fire throughout the middle east of everybody wanting to be their own independent nation and keep in mind there are shiites in sunni territories and everything else. Theres a fire in middle east right now. There is a fire. Even without that. Very quickly on russia right now, these Close Encounters that weve seen between the russian planes and u. S. Warships, the president spoke with putin today. Anything positive going to come out of that conversation . Well, its fine when the president speaks to putin. Fine. I guess he didnt even bring up these issues of these aircraft. He said its happened a lot in the past. Look, this is a serious problem. Theres one thing to do a show of force intercept and another to get within 30 feet of a naval vessel and reconnaissance plane. This is going to lead to an escalating conflict if they are not careful. The Russian Military is not as good as ours. Thanks are being here, Adam Kinzinger from illinois. We have a quick break. Well be right back. This is where i met your grandpa.

Donald trump getting ready to hold a rally in buffalo, new york, as he aims to haul in delegates in tomorrows crucial New York Primary. Joining us is the Atlantic Media contributing editor Peter Beinart and ana navarro and another political commentator, the new yorker magazines correspondent ryan lizza. Donald trump meeting with his diversity coalition. Hes got minority support, africanamerican support, hispanic support. Hes trying to show that he can bring the country together. Hows he doing . Hes not doing so well in terms of bringing mine north into his campaign. He has seen the same numbers that weve all seen and have been talking about for the last month. Basically, this spring, his numbers with nonwhite voters completely collapsed. Front page news. Every poll has shown him with 60, 70, 80 disapproval among most major nonwhite groups, africanamericans, hispanics. So if he is the nominee and he is going to go into the general election as it has been pointed out many times as the most unpopular Major Party Nominee in the history of polling, he has to do quite a bit to turn that around. Hes got these two wars on his hand. He has to completely turn around those disapproval numbers. Ana, he keeps saying the numbers are corrupt and rigged and he has better toys to entice some of those delegates, 14 delegates in wyoming. He doesnt want to do that. Hes above that. But hes doing really well. Hes ahead in the delegates and has a 2 million margin ahead in the actual popular vote. I think he keeps talking about the rigged system and keeps complaining and whining about this because hes laying out a narrative now that he may need come july during the convention. He wants to make sure that he can apply a lot of pressure on those delegates, he can apply a lot of pressure on the rnc and build the narrative and tell the story that this nomination is being taken away from his hands. If he comes close to the number of 1237 delegates but doesnt quite get there, is he laying out the conditions so as to create raucous and be able to create pressure and leverage at that convention. Hes going to have to fight and play by the rules no matter what happens. Peter, if trump hes suggested already that hes the frontrunner, hes the all but sure nominee, if you will. Lets say he doesnt reach that magic number of 1237 delegates. Does he have a precedent for that argument that he should get the nomination on the first round even if he doesnt exactly get that number . Yeah, he does. Because in recent memory, thats always the way its been. Its always been the case of the person with the most delegates and votes has gotten the nomination because theyve gotten to that majority number that they need. I think a lot will depend on how close he gets. If hes very close, i think it becomes harder to deny him the nomination. But i think at the very least the Republican Party, if he doesnt get the nomination, would try to do everything it could to try to apiece him somehow so he doesnt cause utter chaos. But given that its donald trump, i think the chances of being able to do that are probably pretty slim. He also says the convention in cleveland in july should have a showbiz atmosphere and the last one four years ago was sort of boring. What do you think that will look like . I think you dont have to worry about showbiz. The one thing we can be sure about is the convention in cleveland will not be boring. It may be dangerous and frightening and all of those things but its not going to be boring given the fact that youre going to have donald trump there facing off against the Republican Party. So i think if all the things they need to worry about, boring is not the problem. If he does get the nomination, hes the leader of the Republican Party and said in that Washington Post interview he may not keep Reince Priebus on the chairman of the Republican National committee. Its pretty extraordinary to have the rift between the frontrunner of the Republican Party and the chairman of the Republican Party. It would be completely unprecedented because usually once the nominee is decided, theres a great deal of deference given to the nominee and hes the head of the Republican Party and he usually is allowed to choose his own staff at the rnc. Hes usually allowed in a sort of friendly way to replace the rnc chairman if he wants. This is an unprecedented situation. But my understanding is, when you want to change the rnc chairman, you cant just unilaterally do it. Theres a process. Theres the rnc members that have to decide that. In previous years, they may decide it as a deference to the nominee and go with someone else. It doesnt sound like Reince Priebus is going to hand over his chairmanship if trump is the nominee. And the rnc does a lot more than just help elect a president ial nominee. They have a down ballot obligation that they have to fulfill and i think a lot of people in congress and the senate are very happy with the way that Reince Priebus is behaving and are going to be worried about who is going to have judiciary duty or obligation over their account and the money thats been raised for those races. I want to play a little clip. Saturday night live, they had a little, i guess, skit if you will, on the democratic president ial debate in brooklyn. Watch this. [ applause ] welcome to the cnn democratic debate live from brooklyn, new york. Im wolf blitzer and believe it or not, i shaved five minutes ago. Secretary clinton, well start with you. You recently stood by Governor Cuomo as he signed a 15 minimum wage into law. So do you no longer think it should be 12 . Wolf, i have said from the beginning that it should be a combination of 12 and or 15. No, you didnt. You always said 12. And 15. I said 12 and 15. No, thats not true. Yes, it is. No, it is not. No. No. No. Yes, it is. Fine. It berns. It berns. Secretary clinton, let him go. Thats how we do it in brooklyn, baby. You know, i have to tell you, i know the real wolf blitzer and i think the real wolf blitzer has a better beard. He had a good beard. These snl writers and comedians should be paying the rnc, the dnc to put on this convention because you cant make this stuff up. Peter, this is good stuff, isnt it . That was terrific eachand i k bringing larry david back to do Bernie Sanders is just absolute stroke of genius. Its uncanny how similar they sound. What would you do if you had two candidates that is there a plan for this . The question is, would you prefer to moderate a debate between larry david or Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders . Larry david, hes really all right, guys, stand by. Much more coming up. Well take a quick break. Well be right back. It takes a lot of work. To run this business. But i really love it.

A new National Poll shows that the race for the nomination is closers than ever but Hillary Clinton is hoping that a big win will help her pull away from Bernie Sanders in the hunt for convention delegates. Brianna keilar is in new york city for us. What are the candidates saying in their final pitches to the voters today . Reporter well, they have been all over new york city and the surrounding areas, wolf, making their final case against each other, really. Hillary clinton hitting Bernie Sanders on guns. His college plan and even womens issues. Bernie sanders concentrating on Hillary Clintons ties to wall street and wealthy donors with a little bit of help from his supporters. Bernie sanders and Hillary Clinton are making their final push in new york. I have your back and ive tried to have your back and i will again if im so fortunate enough to be elected your president. Reporter the clinton camp is feeling bullish while sanders talks up his chances in new york and is tamping down expectations on cnn. One of the disadvantages we have, as you know, is on the new york state law. Independents cannot participate in the democratic primary. We usually win the independent vote 21. Were spotting secretary clinton in that regard. Reporter but sanders is eliminating her lead nationally, trailing by only two points within the polls margin of error. Sanders has been hammering clinton for her ties to wall street and wealthy donors. We dont want their money. Were going to do it a different way. Reporter he released an ad highlighting his campaigns average donation. For the rich. For the poor. For all of us. Reporter saturday, his supporters made the point a different way. Throwing money at clintons motorcade as she arrived at a 33,000 a head dinner hosted by george and amal clooney, the actor agreeing with sanders but making a jab at the senator. It is an obscene amount of money the Sanders Campaign when they talk about it is absolutely right. But the overwhelming amount of the money that were raising is not going to hillary to run for president. Its going to the down ticket, to the congressman and senators to try to take back congress. Reporter as the battle reaches a critical moment, saturday night live poked fun at sanders for his lack of specifics of how he will fulfill a Campaign Promise with a guest, elaine from seinfeld. How exactly are you going to break up the big banks . Once im elected president , ill go to the big banks, sit them down and yada, yada, yada, theyll be broken up. Reporter and dinged clinton for her stance on raising the minimum wage. I said 12 and or 15. That is not true . Yes, it is. No. No. No. Yes, it is. Fine. Reporter now, Bernie Sanders is saying that polls are underestimating his support in new york. The last nbc wall street journal poll had him trailing by 17 points but hed have to be vastly, vastly underestimated in those polls to really have a shot at winning the margin. The big margin that he would need here to move on to these other big contests, to remain viable. At this point, as you know, hes trailing clinton by more than 200 pledged delegates still. Brianna keilar in new york city for us, thank you. Up next, a devastating explosion aboard a bus at a major city. Investigators say theres no doubt there were terrorists behind it.

Were following developments as investigators look for clues about todays devastating explosion aboard a bus in jerusalem. Nearly two dozen people are hurt. Lets bring in our correspondent Orrin Lieberman in jerusalem. What are Police Telling you . Are they calling it terrorism . Reporter police are still not calling this a terror attack. They are being very careful, very deliberate with their wording. They are saying that this was indeed an attack and there was an explosion on the back of one of the buses that detonated whether its a terror attack, that remains part of the investigation. Police have not ruled out the possibility that that happened and this afternoon it was indeed a criminal attack. Israel is investigating what appears to be a brazen bus bombing, the explosion ripping through the city bus nearby and a private car in jerusalem just before 6 00 in the afternoon as people were coming home from work. Ambulances converged on the scene to treat the Dozens Injured in the attack. Thick, black smoke rose into the skyline visible for miles. Sharp contrast to the bright, orange flames coming from the buses. There is no doubt this is an attack, says the police commander. Youre asking whether we know the identity of one who put the explosive charge, whether we know if someone left it or blew himself up, we have someone severely woundedpolice blocked r road in both directions for investigators trying to figure out how the charge got there and who set it off. Late today hamas praised the attack but didnt take credit for it. Many here say the devastation could have been far worse. Luckily the nearby bus that caught on fire was empty. If this indeed was a terror attack, that leaves a number of questions. First, how did an explosive device, charge get on an israeli bus. And more importantly at this point, who put it there. Those are all questions investigators will try to answer late tonight, wolf. So perhaps answers will come first thing tomorrow morning. Thank you. Meanwhile, theres growing concern that north korea kim jongun is about to take a dangerous step. Reporter theyre watching the situation on the Korean Peninsula and this testing site closely. It comes as americas chief ally issues an ominous warning that it appears kim jongun is preparing to conduct another Nuclear Weapons test. Tonight, the latest provocation from kim jongun focuses on the deadliest weapon, nuclear war heads. They say kim is pursuing a dangerous path. Activity is detected that shows north korea is preparing for a fifth nuclear test. The president didnt say what activities were detected. A top analyst with 38 north cha has new images of the test site tells cnn his organization is tracking movement there. What we have seen in recent days is activity near one of the tunnel entrances where north korea would test. Heres the tunnel entrance, heres the activity, a trailer or small vehicle that could be used for preparation of the test. Reporter he cautions the satellite pictures may not indicate any preparations for a test, but if they do, what could the vehicles be used for . The vehicles could be moving personnel, they could be moving equipment into the tunnel. For example, when you conduct a nuclear test, you have to have diagnostic equipment to measure what actually happened. They might even be moving the weapon into the tunnel. Reporter for three months, kim rattled his savor, testing Nuclear Weapons, firing a long range rocket, test firing missiles. He launched a barrage of threats, even sending a video depicting washington, d. C. Being incinerated by a nuclear bomb. Why . Part of it to counter joint military exercises, including a decapitation strike designed to take out the north korea leadership headed by kim. Flexing muscles ahead of an important gathering of his party next month. But tonight those same experts say risk of miscalculation by the young dictator is as dangerous as ever. This man is far too risk accepting. To the extent he has Nuclear Weapons capability thats workable against south korea and the United States, i think he engages in riskier and riskier behavior. Theres a threat then that that gets out of hand and were off to a full scale war in northeast asia. Reporter how can america and its allies stop kim jongun, they say they have to keep applying economic pressure and the u. S. Needs chinas help to get kim to back off on that program. Even then, wolf, no guarantees that he will. You received a new assessment of how many Nuclear Weapons kim jongun has, how many he may have in a few years . We did get that. Whole whit who tracks this closely with former u. N. Weapons inspector david all bright said they estimate they have 20 nuclear bombs. He says given the way kim has accelerated his weapons program, theyll have 50 bombs by 2020. They could produce as many as about 100. The key thing is flight testing the missiles to deliver the bombs, theyre Getting Better at that. They have not adequately flight tested missiles to see if they can reenter the atmosphere and not break up, but theyre working hard on that. They have the bombs, theyre flight testing missiles. The key is whether they can flight test those to be perfected to reach guam, United States, japan, south korea. Obviously a dangerous place now. Thanks very much for that report. Coming up, after watching ted cruz grab delegates for weeks, the gop frontrunner donald trump is predicting a big win in his home state of new york. Could that put him back on track for the republican president ial nomination . Happening now. Showing the strength. Donald trump strikes a more president ial posture, holding a Diversity Council, saying he wont try to influence delegates with luxury planes and hotels, despite what he calls the gops crooked system. We are standing by for final rallies before tomorrows critical New York Primary. Youre fired . Trump wont rule out dumping the Republican Party chairman. Trump says should be ashamed of the gop nominating process. Is trump planning to place his allies on the Republican National committee . Ill talk to the partys chief strategist. Understated. Bernie sanders says polls dont show the level of support and enthusiasm for his campaign. A new poll shows him neck and neck with Hillary Clinton nationwide with democrats. Could the New York Primary make or break his campaign . Picking a fight. Russian jets aggressively harass the u. S. Military, this time allegedly coming within 50 feet of u. S. Air force planes days after buzzing a navy ship, comes during a deployment of stealth marines. Is Vladimir Putin trying to provoke the u. S. . We want to welcome our viewers in the United States and around the world. I am wolf blitzer. Youre in the situation room. We are following breaking political news on the eve of the New York Primary. Republican president ial frontrunner donald trump is about to hold a Major Campaign rally in buffalo. Trump is escalating his war with the Republican National committee, warning the party better do something about the delegate system that he calls crooked and rigged. Trump has even said he would fire Reince Priebus if he wins the nomination. We are following growing tension between the u. S. And russia, and their respective military russian jets coming disturbingly close to an american plane in a dangerous maneuver. The latest in a series of similar encounters the u. S. Calls reckless and provocative. Covering all of that and much more this hour, with our guests, including the Republican National committee chief strategist and Communications Director shawn spicer, and expert analysts are standing by. Lets begin with political reporter sarah murray, sarah is in new york. Donald trump is on his home turf in new york state. Whats the latest . Reporter thats right, wolf. The New York Primary comes up tomorrow. There are 95 delegates at stake. Donald trump wants to sweep them all. If he does so, he comes closer to clinching the republican nomination, but he is still not playing nice with the gop. Here in the big apple donald trump can almost taste victory. We love the city, you look at the other folks running, they couldnt care less about new york. Reporter hours ahead of the New York Primary, trump appears poised for a big night. The polls are what they are. They were beyond anything that anybody has seen. Reporter but his rivals keep hammering the frontrunner. Today ted cruz already moving on to maryland. Maryland is a battleground. Maryland will have an idaho voice as the nation looks to maryland to decide do we hand the nomination to trump and hand the election to Hillary Clinton or do we unite behind the Cruz Campaign and beat Hillary Clinton . Reporter john kasich stumped in new york where he hopes to pick up a few delegates. Thats what he does. He feeds into their anxieties and their fears. Theres no question there. Does he have any solutions for how hes going to deal with it . I dont think so. Reporter as the fight for the delegates rages on. Its a rigged system, its a crooked system, its 100 crooked. Reporter trump says he is above wooing supporters behind the scenes. Look, nobody has better toys than i do. I can put them in the best planes, bring them to the best resorts in the world. That has nothing to do with democracy. Reporter the gop frontrunner is issuing a sharp warning to the Republican National committee to straighten out a process that has sometimes left him stumped. Theyve got to do something about it. The Republican National committee, they better get going because i tell you what, youre going to have a rough july at that convention. Reporter he is warning his supporters wouldnt stand for it if a contested convention doesnt deliver him the nomination. I hope it doesnt involve violence, and i dont think it will, but i will say this. Its a rigged system. Reporter rnc chair Reince Priebus is shrugging off trumps complaints. I find it to be rhetoric and hyperbole. Reporter trump appears to be planning ahead, suggesting to the Washington Post he may not keep priebus around if he is the nominee, and wants to bring a little showbiz to the gop convention. With an eye on the general election, he tested a new nickname for Hillary Clinton. Crooked hillary. Shes been crooked from the beginning. Reporter wolf, donald trump did Something Else that he hopes will not just help in the primary but the general election, he held a meeting with the National Diversity coalition, not officially part of the campaign, a group of folks that represent the africanamerican community, hispaniola community and Muslim Community and others, trying to gin up grass root support for the primary and they hope into the general election. Also looking ahead to the general election. See if he gets there. Thanks very much for that, sarah. We are standing by to hear from donald trump, he is getting ready to address a huge Campaign Rally in buffalo, new york. About to get under way at the first niagara center. Thats where we find jim acosta. We expect to hear from trump fairly soon. Once again, thousands and thousands of people in buffalo getting ready to hear him. Reporter thats right, wolf, theyre filling the arena in buffalo, your hometown, of course. Were seeing donald trump in the last several minutes unleash fresh attacks on ted cruz. He put out a tweet in the last several minutes, we will put it on screen, lying ted cruz even voted against Superstorm Sandy aid and september 11 help. So many new yorkers devastated. Cruz hates new york. A strategy for the Trump Campaign in that tweet, they want to run out the score on ted cruz in this state in the hopes of capturing all of the states 95 delegates. And delegates as me colleague sarah murray was mentioning are certainly on Donald Trumps mind. We heard him refer to the system of awarding delegates as rigged as a sham and so on. I talked to a trump source earlier today, wolf, that said that the rnc is running the risk of alienating millions of trump voters if trump gets close to the magic number needed for the nomination but doesnt get the nod because of back room negotiating at the convention in cleveland coming up in july. We should point out, wolf, donald trump is poised to do something he hasnt done in several weeks, win a primary the Old Fashioned way. Polls show him way ahead in new york state and it gets better and better for donald trump. Northeastern states like maryland, pennsylvania, delaware, theyre all coming up next week, in addition to connecticut and new jersey looms on the calendar as well. Donald trump, wolf, is looking for leverage to hold over the rnc in the coming weeks. He will certainly have it as he is poised to rack up significant victories in the weeks ahead, wolf. See how many of the 95 delegates in new york state he winds up getting tomorrow. He and his supporters would like to get all 95. Well see if that happens. Jim acosta in buffalo, new york. We await the start of Donald Trumps rally in new york. Lets get more on his war with the gop establishment, the leadership of the gop, Republican National committee chief strategist, Communications Director shawn spicer is with us. Shawn, thanks for joining us. I want your reaction. Trump says he doesnt even know whether hell keep the rnc chairman, Reince Priebus on as chairman if he gets the nomination. Whats your reaction when you read that in his interview in the Washington Post today . First i think he was asked a question, he said i dont know. Lets be clear about what he actually said. Second of all, put this to rest. Reince priebus was elected overwhelmingly by members of the Republican National committee to a term that goes until january of 2017. He will be the chairman until 2017. And nobody, theres nothing that anybody can do that wont make that continue. He is the chairman. He will continue the chairman, thats it. Secondly, more importantly, he has probably been the most successful chairman in history. We have the best equipped, best resourced rnc in political history. Any nominee worth their salt will want to embrace the rnc and run toward it, were the only organization looking toward the general election, ensuring we have all of the field staff out there preparing, making voter contact, prepping the field, building the Opposition Research on Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders, making sure that data and digital operation is top notch. If anything, a nominee is going to want to run toward us. He has been probably the most successful chairman. Shawn, when you read that article in the Washington Post, the article clearly says trump demured when asked if he with would retain chairman Reince Priebus and other officials, i dont know. I havent made the determination, trump said. Clearly not a vote of confidence. But wolf, right, but the reality is it is not a decision that anybody makes. The decision was made already. The members of the rnc elected and reelected chairman priebus last year. He serves a two year term. It is no ones decision but members of the rnc and they made it, it is end of story. It is frankly a silly story. Thats like asking whether you believe Reince Priebus should stay on as chairman. Frankly with all due respect, it doesnt matter. The members of each state made decision. It is a two year term. Reince priebus knows this, everyone knows that whoever emerges as the republican president ial nominee for all practical purposes becomes the leader of the Republican Party, right . No, they become the nominee. They are a leader in the party, they become the nominee of our party, and of course the most important republican on the ballot but they dont take over the party. The rnc has been running fantast fantastically, raising historic money, putting the best Field Operation on the ground. I think it is quite the opposite. What people should be asking is are you excited the rnc is as well trained and well equipped as they are. This is saving grace. When you go through the primary to know the rnc unlike the dnc thats bankrupt, doesnt have staff, isnt as equipped, for their nominee, you saw stories about the Hillary Clinton team coming to washington because theyre disappointed with the dnc. Quite the opposite with the Republican National committee. What gives our candidates great makes them put at ease, they know while they duke it out with its eye on the prize, rnc focused on the general election, raising record money. Best Field Operation in history. Shawn, it is Pretty Amazing when you think about the possibility of a republican nominee butting heads, if you will, with chairman of the Republican National committee. Why is this happening . Is there a strategy going on . If there is, i think youre asking the wrong guy. Our job and our strategy is to make sure that we are as best equipped and prepared for general election. Thats what we are doing dayin and dayout. Were going out, explaining to people what the process is, why it is important that we continue to follow the process. What we can do to bring more people into the party. Thats what we are doing. Were respect to what the candidates are doing, each one of them runs their own strategy. It is up to them to answer that. Are you and Reince Priebus talking to donald trump at all, are you having conversations with him . Sure we talk to their campaign on a daily basis. I know about the campaign, what about him personally . I cant i know the chairman speaks to the candidates on a fairly regular basis, i am not sure what day he last spoke to mr. Trump. I covered politics as you know for a long time. I remember a time a republican president ial frontrunner said what he said about the republican leadership, rigged elections, crooked elections, refusing to give vote of confidence to the rnc chairman, do you remember anything like this happening before . Not that i am aware of. I would also point to you on several occasions he said very positive things about the rnc and praised the job that the chairman has done. I know right now we want to focus on that blip in the Washington Post, but if you go back, and cnn has run the sound several times, he also praised the chairman and rnc for the job theyve done. After the meeting, he tweeted had a great meeting with the rnc, looking forward to moving forward. So you can kind of come up with a bunch of quotes if you want. I remember that tweet. That are positive. After the meeting in washington, he put out nice words about his meeting with the rnc and Reince Priebus. A few days later said Reince Priebus should be ashamed of himself. You heard that, too, right . I did. Again, we can go back and forth about how many times he said something nice and not. We are focused on doing our job, making sure we have the best training and equipped for the rnc and focused on the general election, whether Hillary Clinton falls short or Bernie Sanders becomes the nominee or she does, we are going to be sure we have the Opposition Research, field, data, digital operation to ensure our nominee has the ability to get a leg up out of cleveland and win. Sean spicer, we have more to discuss. There are other developments happening now. We are going to take a quick break.

Outside, take a look at this. There are protesters that have gathered outside. Thats not unusual. When trump speaks at big rallies, often in recent weeks there have been protesters, similarly happening in buffalo now. Trump is taking new swipes at the gop, even as he seeks the partys president ial nomination. We are back at the Republican National committee chief strategist and Communications Director, sean spicer. Sean, youre focused on the convention in july in cleveland. Trump says the last Republican Convention four years ago in tampa in his words was the single most Boring Convention hes seen. He says youll put people to sleep without adding some showbiz elements to the convention. Are you with him on that . I think the number one thing to do at the convention is do the business of the party. We have to enact rules, pass a platform. We have to nominate a president and Vice President to go on and win in november. I think we have a great team in cleveland. Theyre phenomenally talented individuals, some of the best in the business. Theyll continue to work with the different campaigns and get in put. No question in my mind, we will have an amazing convention, put on a show that the entire world frankly will watch and be impressed with republican principles and solutions to move the country forward. Is there any indication, i have seen reports that youre losing corporate sponsors because some Big Companies and corporations dont want to be associated with donald trump. Whats the latest on that . I think it is quite the opposite. When you look at theres a walk through a couple weeks ago, over 600 members of the media came. The interest is phenomenal. I think it is quite the opposite. I read a report the Host Committee is on track to have 54 million of the 60 something they need. It is a historic number of what theyve raised. It is quite the opposite. I know what i think people confuse, where i think a lot of times you see stories, theyll say so and so is not planning on having a party. When it comes to funding of the convention, which is entirely being done with private funds this time, you look at where we are, we are ahead of where we have been historically. They raised a record amount. Were doing just fine, thank you, and frankly the democrats are having a big problem when you look at their ability to fund what they did in philadelphia. That comes on the heels of their problems to fund the North Carolina convention. They had to take a big loan from a bank because they couldnt fund it. This time we are well ahead of where we have been. It will be a phenomenal convention. I think frankly youre seeing quite the opposite. Much more attention and demand for people and organizations that want to be part of a historic convention. Trump talked about what people fear could happen, disturbances at the Republican Convention. Listen to this. I hope it doesnt involve violence, i hope it doesnt, and im not suggesting that. I hope it doesnt involve violence. And i dont think it will. But i will say this. It is a rigged system. It is a crooked system. It is 100 crooked. 100 crooked. Those are his words. Often he says 100 corrupt. Lets button it up. Your final reaction. Im not sure what hes talking about. The process has been out there. We had a website convention facts. Gop where we layout how the system works. Mr. Trump has 37 of the vote, 45 of delegates. He is doing pretty well under this system. When he went to a state like florida with 99 delegates because he was the highest vote getter, he got all of the delegates. I didnt hear too many complaints then. If he does really well tomorrow in new york, he could walk out with almost all delegates, because it is winner take all by Congressional District for the majority of delegates. I dont know that he will think thats a bad system. Seems like when he does well, it is a good system, when he doesnt, it is a rigged system. Sean spicer from the rnc, thanks very much. Well hear from donald trump. He is getting ready to address a lot of people in buffalo. He will be speaking soon. Stand by. Aggressive new moves under way by Russian Military jets against american planes. Is Vladimir Putin trying to provoke the United States . Every Auto Insurance policy has a number.

Donald trump will be speaking soon at a Campaign Rally in buffalo, new york on this, the eve of the New York Primary. Looking at live pictures from inside. First niagara center, where the sabres normally play hockey. He has been taking new digs at the Republican Party, including the last convention four years ago the most boring ever. We are joined by mark preston. Chief political analyst, gloria borger, and assistant editor david swid lick, and Senior Analyst Jeffrey Toobin. I want your reaction, gloria, to what we heard from sean spicer, spokesman for the rnc. Especially the notion that trump wants the next convention in cleveland in july to have more showbiz to it. I think sean didnt take too well to that. I think seans main job in coming on the show was to defend his boss, Reince Priebus, and to say Reince Priebus is not going anywhere. We heard that until 2017 when his term is up and that even if donald trump wanted to dethrone him, he could not do that, he doesnt have the power or authority, he is not president of the United States, and it is up to members of the rnc to decide who the next chairman should be. Even president s when they try to pick their own chairman of the Party Sometimes have a difficult time getting what they want. I think sean was kind of on fire defending his boss. 95 republican delegates at stake tomorrow night in new york state. How many of them does trump need to show he has a spectacular i think he needs overwhelming victory tomorrow, not only to change the narrative seen in his campaign but also to propel him going into the following week. When he talks about new york values, lets make no mistake, it is not just about new york he is talking about. He is trying to take cruz in states like connecticut, rhode island, delaware, pennsylvania. If you look at this block of states from the midatlantic up the east code to rhode island, voters are very similar. Donald trump needs a big win. What that number is we dont know. He needs a big win to help propel him into the following week. We know john kasich cant get on first ballot of 1237. Cruz mathematically could, but looking increasingly unlikely, right . It is unlikely, and has a further ways to go, as mark said, he has a string of states, pennsylvania, new york, delaware, connecticut, maryland that all favor trump heavily in polls. I think what cruz needs to do is survive. Continue to play the inside game well, then hope that voters, conservative voters stick with him when it gets to i wanted to go back to what trump said, the introduction to this about conventions being boring. He is completely right. These conventions havent changed since the 1940s. It is a bunch of white men for the most part standing at a clumsy podium talking at people for four days. Thats boring, and hes right. I remember the last Republican Convention when Clint Eastwood surprised us all by talking to an empty chair. Remember that . That wasnt boring. That was an actual moment, right . It was an actual real moment which the romney people hadnt planned for, which hardly ever occurs, right . Right. It was i think pretty disastrous, but it doesnt mean that everything that is not scrupulously sanitized of all interest is a bad idea, i think trump is onto something exactly right here. I think that underlines part of his appeal here, that he is not whetted to all the boring traditions of politics, that he is calling out the emperors new clothes. Mark, if theres nobody that gets the nomination on first ballot, it goes to round two, three, four, thats hardly boring. Hardly boring. Hardly boring the weeks leading into the convention when we dont know if theres a nominee if he doesnt get to 1237. If you look at the numbers, he needs to win, he being donald trump needs to win 62 of the remaining delegates. Ted cruz, 89 . Cruzs strategy is to take it to contested convention. And frankly, when you have people argue on the floor in cleveland about who the nominee should be, god knows whats going on outside the building, it is not going to be very boring. You ask about the importance of new york. After tomorrow night if trump wins overwhelmingly, which a lot of people, including myself expect him to do, if the only game cruz has is contested convention, it is nearly mathematically impossible for him to win any other way, would be like 98 . He would need to win 98 of remaining delegates. Thats his only game. Trump at least has a narrow path to get to 1237 or close to it before the convention. And trump had a couple of bad weeks, late march and april but may have happened too soon for cruz. Trump has a chance to win states, clean up his act and cruz has to fight through that to get to convention. See what happens tomorrow. Hillary clinton called trump the donkey of the decade in a radio interview. Trump calls her, branded her crooked hillary in a bunch of tweets. Cruz is hawking trumper tantrum bids. All of the attacks are continuing. It looks like the situation is getting crazy now. Speaking of not boring, a race between Hillary Clinton and donald trump would be the definition of not boring. But this is why we have politics. I mean, these people are really trying to win and attacks work. Trump and hillary are trying by attacking each other to say in essence that their races are over and theyre moving to the general election. Gloria, trump is expected to speak from trump to your. Of course. And i think what youre going to see, particularly if he has a large victory is someone thats going to try to act as he says his family wants him to act, more president ial. I mean, he hasnt been tweeting off the charts lately. He has a new campaign team. He added some people to his team. Theyre trying to keep him a little more under control, thats what you might see tomorrow night is a more president ial sounding donald trump. We will have coverage tomorrow. Guys, stand by. Once again, we have complete coverage of the New York Primary tomorrow through the day on cnn, tomorrow night i will be joined by the entire Election Team for special coverage of this critical contest. We will take another quick break. We will be right back. My moderate to severe chronic plaque psoriasis made a simple trip to the Grocery Store anything but simple. So i had an important conversation with my dermatologist about humira. He explained that humira works inside my body to target and help block a specific source of inflammation that contributes to my symptoms. In clinical trials, most adults taking humira were clear or almost clear, and many saw 75 and even 90 clearance in just 4 months. Humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. Serious, sometimes fatal infections and cancers, including lymphoma, have happened; as have blood, liver, and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure. Before treatment, get tested for tb. Tell your doctor if youve been to areas where certain fungal infections are common, and if youve had tb, hepatitis b, are prone to infections, or have flulike symptoms or sores. Dont start humira if you have an infection. Ask about humira, the 1 prescribed biologic by dermatologists. Clearer skin is possible. Sir, this alien life form at an alarming rate. Growing fast, you say . We cant contain it any long. Oh you know, that reminds me of how geicos been the fastestgrowing auto insurer for over 10 years straight. Over ten years .

Bernie sanders and Hillary Clinton are fighting for every vote in new york ahead of tomorrows primary. Now a new National Poll shows sanders is closing the gap dramatically with Hillary Clinton among voters nationwide. Jeff zeleny has the latest. Jeff, a critical contest for the two president ial candidates. Reporter it is critical, wolf, because so many delegates are at stake in new york. 247 pledge delegates, second biggest prize next to california in june. Bernie sanders is holding another big rally tonight on the banks of the east river. You can see the crowd gathering behind me. Bernie sanders needs to show that he can do more than raise big crowds. His big test tomorrow is election day to see if he can get more supporters out to the polls. One final pitch in the fight for new york. Please, come out and vote tomorrow. I will work hard for you. Thank you all very much. Reporter Hillary Clinton hoping to expand her lead and extinguish Bernie Sanders momentum. I dont consider us fringe any more reporter the New York Primary and 247 delegates is the biggest prize until california in june. The winner will shape the closing chapter of the race or ensure the contest goes on. I never count any chickens before they hatch. Were going to work hard. Reporter campaign hard she did, after losing seven straight contests to sanders, clinton took a page from her two Winning Senate elections. She danced, preached. I feel blessed and grace is all around us in the sanctuary. I am your neighbor, which makes me very happy. Reporter she dispatched her husband to cover twice as much ground. On the eve of the primary, sanders hit the streets of new york starting with the picket line. After drawing another big crowd sunday on the familiar blocks of his brooklyn childhood. Our parents would take us to prospect park, but i was never here speaking to 20,000 people, so thank you all very much for being here. Reporter but sanders needs more than big crowds. Clinton leads by 229 pledge delegates, but he closed the gap with clinton in the latest National Poll, trailing her now by just two points. Sanders is vowing to fight until the convention in july, an alarming prospect for Party Leaders eager to unify party democrats. On cnn new day, sanders says the burden of bringing the Party Together isnt his alone. It is a twoway street. The clinton people also have to listen to what these people are fighting for. Reporter the ultimate unifier may be donald trump, calling him the donkey of the decade. You dont let the cancer get bigger and bigger and say what the heck happened to the country. Reporter now the contest with clinton is with sanders, supporters mocking her during a fund raising visit to california, showering the motorcade with one dollar bills. Protesters were standing near george and Amal Clooneys home, where the highest ticket was 350,000 a couple. Back in new york, the rough and tumble primary playing out on stage last week in brooklyn got physical on saturday night live. Reporter of course it is not physical between the two candidates, but that was a pretty close interpretation of reality here. Wolf, tonight, another new fight has broken out between the two campaigns, the Sanders Campaign accuses the Clinton Campaign of inappropriately funding that fundraiser, they say it shouldnt have been that big. The Clinton Campaign pushing back, believing sanders is trying to blow up the process but not trying to raise money for other democratic candidates. Wolf, an intense contest. The outcome of tomorrow will shape the future of how long the race goes on in intensity. Certainly will, thank you. The u. S. Supreme court in washington is taking up a high profile case with huge implications for president obama and undocumented People Living in the United States. Justice correspondent pamela brown has details. Pamela, this is over the president s executive actions on immigration . Reporter thats right. Wolf, the justices seem closely divided on the immigration issue. If it ends up being a 44 split following the death of scalia, that will be bad news for the president and millions of undocumented immigrants in the u. S. Because the president s programs would remain blocked. Even before the justices heard the first argument today, the debate over immigration played out on the steps of the Supreme Court. Hundreds of protesters facing off over one of president obamas signature decisions, executive action to shield more than 4 million undocumented immigrants from deportation. A case brought by texas and 25 other states, most republican, test the president s authority to make such a sweeping decision without congressional input, to grant workers the right to receive benefits like Social Security and medicare. The case is a watershed moment. One of the most controversial to be heard by the courts now eight justices, split evenlily by ideology, 44, after the death of scalia. In court, that became more obvious as they questioned on both sides. Seeming to side with the states suing the administration for what they consider to be executive overreach. Justice Anthony Kennedy says it is as if the president is setting policy and congress is executing it. Thats upside down. Absent meant the solicitor general agreed with. I think the executive, president has the power to do that, that should trouble every american. Reporter back inside, the courts more liberal justices seem sympathetic to the administrations arguments. Justice ginsberg saying tlr 11 million undocumented immigrants already in the u. S. , saying priorities have to be set. Antonio says he is one of the i am grants the president is trying to help. He came to the u. S. From mexico illegally in 1995. Had two children in the United States that are citizens, says he spent many years as Community Volunteer in sacramento. When i came here, i came with my uncle and that was it. In hopes i can bring life to my family. Going to be beginning of a better society. Reporter if the administration loses the case, he and millions of other immigrants remain in limbo. Another key issue is whether they have legal grounds to sue. Texas says it would be financially injured, it would cost millions to issue drivers licenses to these protected immigrants. The administration disagreed, saying texas doesnt have to subsidize licenses. If the justices decide states do not have standing, the president s programs go into effect. Critical case before the Supreme Court now. Thank you, pamela. Lets dig deeper into this issue. Senior analyst Jeffrey Toobin is with us with ana navarro. Jeffrey, whats at stake from the Obama Administration in this case . Well, and for the almost 5 Million People this order would effect, even more than the president , what is at stake here is whether the president can leave as his legacy relative certainty that these 5 Million People will not be deported. Thats really what this case is about. If he wins, this process will begin where the 5 Million People, most of whom have american citizen children, and they will go through a background check, they will pay a certain amount of money, then they will get in effect legal status. If he loses this case, if the Obama Administration loses, those four or five Million People are in limbo. If a republican like donald trump or ted cruz is elected, they have promised to try to deport all 11 million of those people from this country. Ana, if the president s executive actions are deemed constitutional, what will be the impact on the undocumented community . Huge impact. It means that almost 5 Million People wont be able to stay here, young people that will be able to study, they will be out of the shadows, they will be part of the system. This is so frustrating. We should never be where we are now. We should not be in front of the Supreme Court with this issue. This is an issue that the president should have followed up and just been able to he gave his word to the hispaniola community in 2008 that he would do Immigration Reform the first two years. He did not keep that promise. And congress did not do its job of passing Immigration Reform. I think if we are seeing anything today, it is that the immigration problem is not going away. You cant sweep it under the rug, an executive action is nothing but a bandaid. It needs to be legislated, needs to be compromise, needs to be pragmatic Immigration Reform that includes both sides of the aisle. Until that happens, we will continue to see so many people suffering and so many people with lives in limbo and these heated, controversial arguments. They tried it several times. Unfortunately both parties couldnt get along and reach an agreement. Thanks, guys. We will stay on top of this story.

Bumpadum, bumbumbumbum tension between the United States and russia growing tonight after a series of Close Encounters between their empties. The latest incident, a russian jet that came do you think rousely close to a plane over the baltic sea. Jim asciutto is with us now. Russia is denying its planes are doing anything wrong. Whats the latest . The u. S. Navy has a different point of view. These close flybys have been happening with increasing frequency for months and now russian pilots getting even closer, even more aggressive as they intercept both u. S. Aircraft and ships. And as they do, the Close Encounters are getting even more dangerous. Increasing the risk u. S. Commanders say of misunderstanding or possibly even confrontation. The latest provocation came thursday when a russian jet barrel rolled a u. S. Reconnaissance plane over the baltic sea. Performing, quote, erratic and aggressive maneuvers. Its a second time this month the russians have played cat and mouse with the u. S. Over international waters. And the Russian Defense ministry is defending its actions. The Russian Embassy in washington tweeting to cnn and others, keep calm when russian jets are around. These aces know how to fly. Along with a link to a series of videos showing russian fighter jets performing aerial stunts. Just last week, two russian fighter jets sped by the uss donald cook in the baltic sea within yards of the destroyers bridge, ignoring, the pentagon says repeated radio calls from the cook in english and russian. Commander of u. S. Naval forces in europe told cnn, the incident was unprecedented. The behavior we saw from the pilots engaged in this operation was very different in its aggressiveness, lack of communication and proximity to the ship. Reporter so close, that secretary of state john kerry warned publicly that the cook could have shot the russian jet down. It is reckless. It is provocative. It is dangerous. It is unprofessional. And under the rules of engagement, that could have been a shootdown. Reporter the flybys follow increased tension over the conflicts in ukraine and syria. And it is not the first. In june, a russian su24 jet flew within about 1,600 feet of a u. S. Guided missile destroyer in the black sea. That was followed by similar flybys of u. S. Aircraft carriers and jets. In all, there have been hundreds of intercepts between russian and u. S. Aircraft in the past couple of years. In the case of the cook, u. S. Navy officials tell cnn, commanders on board quickly determined the russian jets were not a threat. The ships instruments indicating they were not armed, and did not employ targeting radar to lock on or light up the ship. Those ships are very sophisticated. We can make decisions about whether they live or die from great distances with great speed. But we dont want to do that unless its absolutely necessary. I asked the u. S. Navy if its rules of engagement allow u. S. Ships to shoot down russian aircraft in incidents like this, and a Navy Official told me while the rules of engagement are classified, every ships commander is empowered to act to defend the ship and its crew. In the case of the cook, the navy says the captain determined that the flights they were unsafe, unprofessional, but not a threat to the ships safety. Jim sciutto, thanks for that report. I want to get to a cnn exclusive now. A look at life inside north korea under new u. N. Sanctions imposed by kim jongun. Will ripley talked to residents, and they say theyre not feeling the sanctions impact, yet. Reporter tough u. N. Sanctions intended to stop north korea from developing dangerous weapons seem to be having little if any effect on life in pyongyang. At least the parts were allowed to see. The sanctions follow this years satellite launch, and claimed hbomb test. Actions condemned even by north koreas most powerful friend and trading partner, china. The sanctions will begin to hurt within a year. And trying to see for ourselves a cnn crew in this chinese border city last month could not independently verify if cargo to north korea is being inspected as the sanctions require. A longtime diplomat and former ambassador who now runs the pyongyang think tank believes sanctions wont hinder north koreas military or economy. We built a socialist country under u. S. Sanctions ever since our liberation he says, under kim jonguns lead, everyone is working hard. He is ordering more weapons tests, including a recent apparent failed missile launch. We assert the u. S. Is the real culprit of the aggravated situation in the Korean Peninsula, rees says, referring to military exercises. We must defend our supreme leaders dignity, a republic sovereignty and peoples right to live, he says, at any cost. The u. S. Calls it a path to further isolation and hardship. North korea calls it the only way to survive. Will ripley, cnn, pyongyang. Thats it for me. Thanks very much for watching. Erin Burnett Outfront starts right now. Next, breaking news.
