Will take Bernie Sanders over donald trump or ted cruz anytime. We will have much more of those interviews that certainly have made headlines throughout the day. Plus, on the republican side, donald trump and ted cruz bracing for a big battle. Cruzs campaign is a record 32 million First Quarter fund raising haul. While the Trump Campaign is shaking things up at the top. Who does what on the frontrunners campaign now . Which right now is certainly an interesting situation, with the frontrunner being off the campaign trail and not set to be back before a potential voter until this weekend. Are you the boss boss now . I work directly for the boss. One guy . I have one man whose voice is louder than everybody elses. The one guy you have to listen to is trump. Correct. Why that man there is so important but let me bring in someone else important to our coverage, nbcs jacob rascon covering Trump Campaign in new york. We heard from Paul Manifort the individual sending to consolidate power but while this is happening with trumps team, trump yet again is not on the campaign trail. He took a break during wisconsin and right now, hes tweeting out that he has a business to run and hes focused on that as well as the campaign. Reporter often the case, you have two sides or more to the country. Paul manifort, the Convention Manager takes on new responsibilities in charge of everything with the delegate process, Cleveland Convention and overseeing the washington, dc Office Outreach to congressional folks and elsewhere and you have him saying he reports only to the boss, only to trump. Then you have Senior Campaign officials telling nbc news as well, look, this is just a natural outgrowth of the campaign. What you have is now were entering a new phase where were going to have to do arm twisting with the delegates. We needed somebody with experience in that and the campaign manager, Corey Lewandowski is in charge of the overall look and the general election outlook. Mr. Trump said that specifically in the release yesterday. So you have these two sides and its clear that the incredibly Small Campaign run by trump is expanding and looking more conventional. Some would argue its too late and some say its going to work and still on the path to 1237 delegates. Tamron . They say that but Katrina Pierson said theyre confident theyll reach the delegates by june. Going to go to colorado in a few this hour and trump has cancelled appearances out west and Great Questions about the ground game in colorado and seem to all but given up and get a delegate out of whats playing out there. Reporter right, and you heard Paul Manafort saying he was asked about cruzs Sophisticated Campaign on the ground and said, look, cruz is running a very Clever Campaign and were going to do our own delegate stealing in the weeks ahead. And sign seasoned operatives and say theyre on the game and getting on it now. Thank you very much, jacob rascon and more on the republicans later in the hour but now back to the democratic race. It was once cordial and now its taken a different tone. The question is how long will it last . This tone that weve heard the past few days. Hillary clinton sat down for an exclusive interview with today shows matt lauer. The state of the primary race and the email investigation that continues to hang over her president ial bid. Here now is that interview. When you look at the calendar eight months ago and say, april 19th, could you have imagined back then that this would be anything but a finish line and its kind of turned into a firewall . I said from the beginning, matt, this is going to be a tough contest all the way through. And i did it because i remember 08. I went the distance with then senator obama. And thats the way primaries develop. Whoever it is that is going to make it through the preliminaries of debates and early contests, youre going to keep moving and i said to everyone, new york is going to be a place where im going to fight hard because i feel so strongly about it. I never expected anything else. It means so much more right now because you have lost seven of the last eight contests. And you can tell how much is at stake because the exchanges and you talked about him. Things he really hadnt understood. Do you think in some ways senator sanders proposed some things early in this campaign he didnt think he would stick around long enough to actually have to defend . Youll have to ask him, but what i was referring to there was the very long interview that he did with the New York Daily News and i think a lot of people were quite taken aback that on key issues, that he has been promoting during the entire campaign. Breaking up banks. Breaking up banks. Foreign policy issues. That he did have some questionable answers. And look, thats fair game. Ive been in the bright hot spotlight for a long time. I understand how that works. But i feel good about where the campaign is. We have a big popular vote lead about 2. 5 million over senator sanners a sanders. Heard what you said. Whether you intended it to be cutting or biting or not, he said this about you in terms of whether youre qualified to be president. Weve heard this. I dont think youre qualified if you get 15 million from wall street sent through your super pac and now im paraphrasing. If you voted for the disastrous war in iraq and if you support trade agreements that cost millions of jobs to americans. You dont have to read between the lines there. He said he doesnt think youre qualified to be president. Well, that will be up to the voters of new york and the other states that be be passing judgment in the weeks ahead. I think its kind of a silly statement, but hes free to say whatever he chooses. Heres what i believe. I believe that voters will be looking at both of us, but i will take Bernie Sanders over donald trump or ted cruz anytime. They pose real threats to our values. To groups of americans, some very large groups like women, but so many people are hearing whats going on on the republican side and wondering, what is this about . How can we tolerate it . I want to get to that, but senator sanders in your opinion said or done anything in the course of this campaign or during the course of his career in the senate that disqualifies him from being president of the United States . I never said that about him. I know, im asking. I never said that about him. His response to me was misrepresentation of what ive said but also kind of a historic amnesia because on all of those issues, he supported president obama. He supported joe biden, as our Vice President ial candidate and john kerry, according to to him, not qualified but i think in the heat of the campaign, people say a lot of things. I want to stay focused on the issues. There are contrasts between us and i think thats fair game. Wisconsin was earlier in the week. I want to talk to you about the exit polling and i think some of the things repeat after certain contests. Bernie sanders got 82 of the votes from people under the age of 30. 89 of people said they thought Bernie Sanders was basically honest. 58 said that about you. And this struck me. You are running to become perhaps an historic candidate. Perhaps the first woman to be elected president. Right. If you look at wisconsin, youve basically split the womens vote with senator sanders. When you lay in bed at night, how do you get your arms around nah . I just think about it from a much broader perspective. I lost wisconsin to senator obama and knew i would have a tough fight going in and i came out pleased with the number of delegates. Im confident that if im so fortunate to secure the democratic nomination, we will unify the Democratic Party, all parts of it. And i know that young people have been really caught up in senator Sanders Campaign and i think thats terrific because the more young people we can bring into the process, particularly into the democratic primary process, the better. Let me share conversations ive had with republicans. And if i say to somebody on the republican side, arent you nervous about whats happening with this campaign and this division and what might happen in the convention, do you know what i hear a lot . They are clinging to the hope that the way theyll be able to deal with that is that some point between now and the election, and they say this, that they will get to see Hillary Clinton in handcuffs. Oh my goodness. Based on your prooivate ema server. I know they live in the world of fantasy and hope because theyve got a mess on their hands on the republican side. Theres not even the remote chance that is going to happen. But theyve been after me for 25 years. And they have said things about me repeatedly that have been proven to be not only false but kind of ridiculous. But youre a lawyer. So how do you see this and do you think the fbi and the Justice Department write you a letter and say it was a misunderstanding . Were sorry, carry on . Were certainly going to carry on. I think its a security review. It is a security review. And there are lots of those that are conducted in our government all the time. And you dont hear about most of them. You hear about this one because it does involve me. So thats why it gets so much attention. But i will tell you sitting here in the bronx in this cafe, were moving forward. The republicans fondest wishes will not be fulfilled. While in the predicting mood, sitting here in new york, famously back in 1969, a guy named joe neemoth said we will win the super bowl. Will you declare right now that guaranteeing youll win the primary . I never make predictions but im really filie fooeeeling goo will happen. We find Nbcs Kristen Welker covering the Clinton Campaign in buffalo, new york. Kristen, whats the latest from the rally there . Reporter hey there. Secretary clinton is going to be talking about jobs and the economy here in buffalo. The upstate is going to be a key part of her focus in terms of her trying to win new york. Shes trying to confirm whether shes qualified by senator sanders but some of the top aides still fuming about the remarks by senator sanders and some Top Democrats are concerned that it could become foder for the gop in a general election. If she does, in fact, win the nomination. Earlier today, our own msnbc a alex and whether there are different standards. Take a look at how the former president responded. I think she would be the best president. Its obvious and its all that matters to me. I think there are some different standards. Some of them are subconscious. Reporter meanwhile, there is a fierce battle going on here in new york. Lets take a look at some of the latest polls, tamron. They show secretary clinton with a fairly comfortable double digit lead. 53 to 43 and the latest poll, 52 to 42 but if you rewind several weeks ago, that lead was about 20 points. So i am told by our campaign officials, shes going to be campaigning vigorously here from now until the time voters go to the polls. Kristen welker live for us in buffalo, new york. Thank you, kristen, and for todays microsoft pulse question. Do you think Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders war of words will divide the Democratic Party . The pulse is live at pulse. Msnbc. Com. Well keep an eye on the results. Up next, well talk to sanders supporter and former clinton labor secretary robert reich but first, the vermont senator with some fun with the 1 on seth myers last night. The 1 . Hey, 1 , what do you need all that money for . If i didnt know any better, id think you were trying to compensate for something. How is it possible that some of you are paying a lower tax rate than your secretaries . That makes less sense than the plot of batman versus superman. 1 .

The vermont senator came to the tv set where the feuding started here on msnbc. It was wednesday on morning joe wrjoe. She wouldnt say but pointed out to a daily news interview in which sanders appeared to falter when answering questions about how he broke up the nations largest banks. That set off a fire storm from the sanders camp. Today, senator sanders visited morning joe and one question raised by the daily news. How would you go about breaking up the largest Financial Institutions in the country. Are you ready for the answers . Do it in a couple of ways. Use section 12 1 of the dodd frank legislation. Number two, better, and i would prefer this, pass by legislation and with my legislation, the legislation ive introduced says that the secretary of the treasury will have the authority to investigate and determine which banks pose Systemic Risk to our economy. Ie, if theyre too big to fail, they could bring down a significant part of the economy and then within a period of time, the secretary can break them up. Three out of the four largest banks in this country today, are bigger because they were too big to fail. Thats point number one. Point number two is that when you have six Financial Institutions that have assets about 58 of the gdp of this country, they issue twothirds of the credit cards and onethird of the mortgages and dont you think thats a hell of a lot . No one will let them go under. I dont disagree. The great papers question, what does it look like . After theyve broken it, thats their decision to reconfigure how to do it. On this one, i guess im conservative. And i believe in Old Fashioned boring banking. You make a deposit and make a loan. And Consumers Want to buy a home and a car, thats my definition of what banking should be about. University of california berkeley economics professor, robert reich served as labor secretary, bill Clinton Administration supporting Bernie Sanders. Secretary reich, thank you so much for joining me again. Hi, tamron. You heard that. Why couldnt he have given it to the daily news when originally asked that question . I read the transcript of the daily news interview and he did say in that interview that he, when asked, does the fed have the power to do it alone . He said he didnt know and hes not alone. Most experts are really confused whether the fed does have the power to close down a bank loan on its own and said he would do it as a president and referred to the legislation and also his power over the appointees of a group. He didnt refer to the name of the group. Under dodd frank, the group is the federal financial stabilization oversight board. But any president would have a lot of power over that board with regard to decisions as to whether a bank had to be broken up. So i dont know where this kind of tempest came from, cameron. Candidates for office, whether they be Bernie Sanders or Hillary Clinton or to a much larger extent the republicans dont specify in every little detail what Regulatory Agency and how they do what and where and even breaking up the big banks, Bernie Sanders has been very specific on how to do that. I think its not as egregious as rick perry saying he wants to shut down three departments and could not name the three during the infamous debate moment. When youre Bernie Sanders and this is 95 of your message, this is your dominant message and you dont have more specific answers, that i believe is why we got here and now fast forward a couple of days, he doesnt say to joe and mooe karica. He fills in the holes. Why not do that in the daily news interview . My point is that he did with regard to his answer on dodd frank. The only thing he didnt know with whether the Federal Reserve board, which is an entirely different organization. Thats irrelevant to a president s authority to shut down banks and thats where the kerfuffle became incomprehensible to us who live in the real world and not just breaking up the big banks but bernies plan to have a Single Payer Health care plan which is very, very central to his overall vision and to provide tuitionfree Higher Education for public universities and mainly to get big money out of politics. This is whats fueling the entire Bernie Sanders campaign. You mentioned the words real world, and in discussing how much of this people digest. When Bernie Sanders said he wants to go back to what he defined as boring bank when you go, get a loan, the simplest forms of banking, is that a pie in the sky description base on what you know as former labor secretary and the complexities of banking and this nations economy, do we really believe that that is the future of banking, is that a pie in the sky unrealistic answer to what we can do to reform banking in an effective way, but in a real honest way . No, we used to have something called the glass steel act. That separated Investment Banking from commercial banking. Bill clinton in 1999 with the advice of some of his advisors, not me certainly, i wasnt there then, joined republicans and got rid of the glass steel act that allowed banks like city bank to become citigroup, these gigantic commercial banks that allowed them in turn to start gambling with money. That got us into trouble. The glass steel act did a good job for 50 years after the great depression. Should have kept it. And i dont understand why Hillary Clinton is so much against resurrecting the glass steel act. Bernie sanders has said from the beginning he wants it resurrected. I think thats an important first step. The heart of my question goes back to also the idea of free tuition. You have many saying this notion of a basic boring bank. This notion of a free tuition. That these things are not just idealist or ideal thinking, its not realistic when you look at the impact that free tuition would have on, for example, some of our nations historic black universities. Would dismantling the banks to the quote, boring systems, not only do to the economy but noted by matt lauer in the interview but the millions of people, thousands of people who work for banks, not at the Top Executive level but in the banks. Im just asking you. Youre not getting rid of the banks. Just breaking them up. Its like when the government told at t they had to break up into 15 smaller bills and there were not fewer jobs. In fact, each of the small bells, regional bells did better than the big mob bell was doing. Its the same thing. Not getting rid of big banks. What Bernie Sanders is break them up because their economic power and their economic power to do ill, as well as their political power and we havent talked about that. I was in washington. I know the power of wall street and washington. It is unparallel. Youve got to do it. Before 1999 when the glass steel act was basically got rid of by republicans, we did have a much more boring Banking System and going back to tuition free Higher Education Public Education, thats the direction we were going in the 1950s, 60s, early 1970s here at the university of california and berkeley, actually tuitionfree in 1968 and 1969. Why cant we go back to the road we were on which made a lot of sense because k through 12 Public Education was the idea behind the Great American value of education but as more education is needed, we should go from k through 12 to k through 16.

Sanders spoke at a town hall style event at the today show earlier and when pressed about his his feelings, heres what he said. Hes the truth. Ive known Hillary Clinton for 25 years. I respect Hillary Clinton. We were colleagues in the senate. And on her worst day, she would be an infinitely better president than either of the republican candidates. Shes qualified. Of course. But the point is i would hope we get away from these attacks, by the way, the media likes very much, and start focusing on the real issues impacting the american people. Do you worry that as this Campaign Goes on and on, the damage is being done or damage is being done to whichever of you becomes the eventual nominee . No, again, thats media stuff. Heres the real stuff. People are here wanting to know why theyre working longer hours for low wages and why theyre graduating college 50,000 or 70,000 in debt and why theres so much income and wealth inequality. The world of what the media is interested in and what the people are interested in is day and night. Communications and political outreach and senior spokesperson for the Hillary Clinton campaign, thank you for joining us. We now, i think, can officially put this behind us. Both of the candidates agree that they are qualified or the opponent is qualified. However, Bernie Sanders wife, jane, made the point that the clinton team says, listen, we are on the same page. There are distinctions between Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders. She makes the point that Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton are not on the same page. If elected, they would take the country in different directions. They do have different ideas, but i think in terms of the core values, difference between where Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton are is night and day from ted cruz and donald trump. In terms of thats fair. But not shutting down planned parenthood funding and secretary reich about it. When you talk about breaking up the banks and wall street reform, Hillary Clinton agrees absolutely we need to do that, but her point is we need to go farther and deal with Systemic Risk in the system because glass steel is not the reason that we have the crash. He keeps talking about the need to bring back glass stigle. But college affordability, 25 billion investment in hbcus, you raised that but also says we need to not just, not free for everybody. We dont want to pay for Donald Trumps kids to go to college, but the state has a role, the federal government has a role and the student has a role. But she also believes you have to have a mechanism in there that actually gives an incentive for colleges to reduce their cost. If its free, why would i reduce my cost . And believes youve got to let students refinance that debt. Some kids have 18 or 14 of the loans. Theres differences. I think they want to go to a similar place. Going back to what jane sanders says. This country would be different if her husband is elected and for the point that you make regarding just education, Hillary Clinton made the implication saying his ideas are not attainable and his supporters certainly believe they are. And heres what i would say to that. There have been a number of independent analyses that said time and again, the numbers dont add up. So when you look at his health care plan. That is a very big difference. He wants to do single payer. Hillary clinton said lets build on the system we have now because there is a practical reality. I guess one of the things i take issue with is its not she is aspirational in terms of wanting to do big things. Equal pay for women is a big idea. Building on what the president has done with the criminal Justice System and or when we talk about education, those are big ideas. But there are some real differences. I say guns is one of the areas where its very, very different. The campaign bill said youre on the same page, is that just a soft pitch to Bernie Sanders supporters if she gets the number needed and gets the nomination, she knows she will need these supporters, so to sell this idea, were on the same page gives her a chance to bring them in more easily. I dont think weve said across the board were on the same page but i think we said our values are similar. Where were trying to go is similar and the difference. There are real differences, for example, she does not agree with giving liability. Giving broad, the gun manufacturer e shie manufacturer, shielding them for liability. Voting against the brady bill. No question, real differences. But the point weve tried to make is that there are similarities and i think that is something that no matter who is the nominee, members of our party will have a comfort that whoever is our nominee, i hope its hillary, has the right values, the right progressive values to move this country forward. Thats why shes upstate talking about jobs. Because at the heart of it, what people want to talk about. Hillary clinton is upstate new york. Ahead though, Donald Trumps Rocky Mountain sized challenge. We are live at the Colorado Republican Convention where a lot of decisions by a small group could be made and i understand we now have video coming in of the villanova victory parade. There you have it. The ncaa champions, the buzzer beater heard around the world, at least the world that tunes into college basketball. Theyre in the great city of philadelphia. Sad it wasnt the temple owls but well give love anyway to villanova. Congratulations to them. Well be right back. The orders were rushing in. I could feel our deadlines racing towards us.

Hillary clinton has an event scheduled in buffalo, new york, less than an hour from now. And then later today, shell campaign in rochester. As her Campaign Continues its focus on upstate new york ahead of the primary. Bernie sanders will spend his day in hometown of brooklyn, new york, holding rallies at 3 00 and 5 00 p. M. Eastern time. John kasich wrapped up an event in fairfield, connecticut. His next event at 6 00 p. M. Eastern time in syracuse, new york. As for opponents, donald trump and ted cruz both dont have any Public Events scheduled for today. Right now in colorado, a complicated fight under way. A whole slew of meetings and speeches from each of the 600 delegate hopefuls. State republicans pick 37 people to represent them at the National Convention in july and joining me now from colorado springs, msnbcs own delegate hunter, jacob soboroff. There needs to be a theme music if were going to have that title. But youre hunting down the trail of delegates. Those who certainly will be the talk of cleveland if things proceed the way they have. Reporter its unbelievable. Tamron, so first of all, im sitting in peoples seats. Ill get up so i can show you whats going on here. I will take the theme music if we can get some. And go ahead, its an extraordinary process. The center of american politics. These could put donald trump over the edge if he falls short or have ted cruz stop him or help get to 1237. Were looking at the end tale of a process giving 20 second speeches why to be one of three delegates to come out of Congressional District 3 right now. Everybody takes a ballot and drop in these boxes and tally them up and announce them. One of the delegates endorsed is this nice woman right here. Hi, cay. Jacob soboroff from msnbc. You went up there and gave your 20 second speech on the ted cruz slate. Why should people vote for you to go to the republican National Convention . Because im pledged to ted cruz and im going to be working very hard to elect ted cruz. I think hes going to be a fabulous president for us. Im very excited. Reporter what cay said here is an important distinction, thank you very much, by the way, shes pledged. Some are unpledged and making up their minds at the convention this july which is a source of a little bit of lets say discontent in the party particularly with the campaigns that may not benefit from that. This is absolutely fascinating. Its a big more into the rules and all of the things youll be chewing on and debating at the dinner table with your family, im sure. Lets bring in ari melber standing by. I feel like we have to take notes every time we enter some of these experiences no matter how long youve covered politics. The view that jacob just gave us is one thats mesmerizing. This is our process. And even more rules that can change. More rules can change. It is our process because there are states like colorado that basically decided they werent going to hold the Old Fashioned primary we think of or new york has next week to go out and vote. They hold the kind of meetings they saw a peek of and thats how the delegates are determined. We can show you the headlines. Its 13 unbound but you look in louisiana, in north dakota, and in the first rounds of colorado over the past couple of days where jacob and ben gji reporte. What does that mean . Number one, he has some sort of organic or authentic support because you cant do this if theres nobody to recruit but then, number two, he is organizing and returning that support into those kind of people we just saw who want to show up and go in front of people and in many cases, say not only vote for me as a delegate, im a nice person and been to the state conventions, but thats part of it. People talk about the military service or volunteers for the state party and make a state appeal and in closing, say i might vote ted cruz or will. Thats why you should vote for me. Rari, youve been reporting n the turmoil inside Donald Trumps campaign. We spoke with jacob rascon outside of trump tower. Hes not on the trail. He took a slight break on the weekend but his team is making the headlines at this point. Reporter his team is making the headlines. Paul manafort taking over larger duties. As you and i know from covering, a lot of times, people dont care about the convention that much. This year, it could be the whole enchilada. Thank you very much. I wasnt expect yoing you to enn that note. Breaking developments overseas. A belgian man arrested in connection with the brussels terror attack. What we know about his identity and those details coming up after a short break. Is it becoming a better professor by being a more adventurous student .

There have been several arrests in belgium in connection with the attack in brussels. Nbc Foreign Correspondent Ayman Mohyeldin joins us. We expect a press conference this afternoon from the federal prosecutor to shed more light on exactly who was arrested and we know according to the federal prosecutor, several arrests were made. The identities of those who have been arrested has not been released by any official agencies. What we are hearing and this is according to belgian media, this is not confirmed independently by nbc news but belgian media is reporting that the man has been arrested. One is an individual named Mohammed Abrini, one of europes most bantwanted individuals, fos involvement in the attacks back in paris in november of last year. They believe abrini was driving a car used in the attacks and had a Close Association with Salah Abdeslam and one of the officials that the belgian prosecutors arrested for his involvement in the paris attacks.

It comes on the heels of clinton being interrupted by protesters. At his event in philadelphia yesterday over the opposition of the crime bill that he signed while he was in office. Today the former president addressed their concerns over the bill, but also used it as an opportunity to say we should take the time, he points out, to sten to each other.

Today he acknowledged he didnt handle it as well as he could have, saying he was as guilty as they were talking past each other, not listening to each other and not having a full dialogue. One other issue that came up today. I spoke with bill clinton on the rope line quickly about this going back and forth with Bernie Sanders after he said that Hillary Clinton was unqualified.

I think she would be the best president , and i think its obvious by a country mile, and thats all that matters to me. Yes, i think there are some different standards. Some of them are subconscious. Reporter now, Bernie Sanders did walk back that comment this morning on the today show. He said, of course Hillary Clinton is qualified, they just have major differences, tamron.
