>> i want to stay here in california. it means -- it means the world to me. >> reporter: just a few delegates of hitting that magic number, kpln is looking to tuesday's final round of democratic primaries to seal the deal. >> on tuesday i will have decisively won the popular vote, and i will have decisively won the pledged delegate majority. you can't get much more than that out of a primary season. >> reporter: clinton telling cnn's jake tapper after tuesday's contest she's pushing for party unity. >> i expect senator sanders to do the same, and that we will come together and be prepared to go to the convention in a unified way. >> reporter: but clinton's rival bernie sanders argues that clinton's super delegates shouldn't be counted just yet. >> hillary clinton will not have the requisite number of pledged delegates to win the democratic nomination at the end of the nominating process. the democratic national convention will be a contested convention. >> reporter: vowing to take his campaign all the way to the convention, he's banking on delegate-rich california to give him momentum. sanders elevating his attacks on clinton sunday saying the foreign government donations to the clinton foundation of a conflict of interest. >> if you asked me about the clinton foundation, do i have a problem, when a sitting secretary of state and a foundation run by her husband collects many millions of dollars from foreign governments. governments which be dictatorships do i have a problem with that? yeah, i do. >> do you think it creates a conflict of interest? >> yeah, i do. i do. >> reporter: even sanders himself concedes it will be an uphill fight after tuesday, and that's because numbers don't lie. clinton has been 500 more super delegates than sanders. sanders says about 400 of those delegates got behind clinton before he even got into the race, and he wants the chance between tuesday, no matter what happens, win or lose, to make his case to the super delegates before the convention in july, but if clinton wins big tomorrow, that argument gets even harder for sanders to make. sanders would likely be in an awkward wigs arguing the super delegates should essentially overturn the will of the voters. >> a lot of unfinished business there, regardless of that historic mark we just saw with hillary clinton. let's discuss with the panel. the "daily beast" washington bureau chief jackie kucinich. political anchor foretime warmer cable news, mr. errol louis and host of the david gregory podcast, david gregory hisself. xwak jackie, history. what does it mean in terms of the fortunes for hillary clinton and what does it mean in general? >> yeah, a huge moment for hillary clinton. unfortunately doesn't sound like bernie sanders is really going to let her celebrate it tomorrow night, or wednesday morning, as, you know, maybe she should. that said, this is a really big moment for hillary clinton. it wasn't too long ago it might be a year from today. couldn't tell you what day it is, actually, that she had -- i'm sorry. eight years ago she had to concede to barack obama. so this is really, i mean, we're really close to exactly eight years to that moment. it's a very big one for hillary clinton. >> june 8, 2008, when she said -- >> thank you, brooke. >> i got you, jackie. >> appreciate it. >> you're nodding, too. we're looking at a potentially historic week. at the same time, sanders is not ready to leave the stage. >> right. up until now it hasn't had the same look and feel as it did eight years ago when it would have been seen as, not just graceless and sort of politically difficult, really sort of stepping in an important way on top of a piece of history i the making. i mean, we haven't heard the clinton campaign say that, you know, this is big. this is big for our daughters. this is big for our mothers and grandmothers. >> why not? >> i don't know if that's really what they're focused on pop right now they're trying to get through this mud fight with bernie sanders. >> history loomed larger in 2008 than now. >> it did. probably you could probably lay at the feet of the media. that's not the way this is covered and not frankly the campaign has wanted it. frankly, look, we know that politically speaking, emphasizing the first woman president potentially has not been a big winner. she tried that in 2008, frankly, and it didn't work. understandably they may want to step away from it, but it does sort of -- you know, it has some means that is slipping past us and bernie sanders as far as i can say under no particular pressure to say, look, don't do this, because this is history in the making and you're pushing a point whose outcome is not very much in question. >> let's listen to senator sanders just this weekend. >> at the end of the nominating process, no candidate will have enough pledged delegates to call the campaign a victory. they will be dependent upon super delegates. in other words, the democratic national convention will be a contested convention. >> david gregly, on the super delegate points, overall vote tallies does he have any point in making that distinction whatsoever, or is he just rasping? >> it doesn't appear that will be accurate. it appears she's going to capture the pledged delegates even before you capture the super delegates and even if not to do that, the super delegates according to the math matter, and these are people within the party, elected officials and other big wigs in the party who have publicly come out and pledged their support. in theory, they could change their minds, but there's little reason to see them doing so. i think bernie sanders is obviously having a difficult time relinquishing what has been an incredible successful presidential campaign, and i think at this point he wants to see if he can win california and create the momentum and the lift that that victory could give him and his campaign before he pulls out. he knows there's mounting pressure by elected officials and others for him to get out of the way to give her a clear shot. i agree with errol. less of an emphasis on the historic nature of the clinton candidacy than now on trying to get the democrats united to go against trump. >> jackie, what are you seeing with hillary clinton in terms of how she is working with the media? do you believe that something is seen as needing to shift within that campaign? if so, do you believe you are seeing any shift or being told about a potential shift? >> well, it would be nice have a press conference once in a while. and she hasn't done that, and it's a great contrast, and when you look at donald trump, who, you know will have a press conference, whether or not he says in them what are true, he is at least having them. she's calling in to shows. she never really did that before. she's doing more television interviews, it seems like, but in terms of that, you know, face-to-face interfacing with the press on a regular basis, that hasn't happened yet. >> i think she would much rather, can i just say, give the spotlight of negative publicity to donald trump, doing an excellent job in the spotlight, she'll take the hit, agree with jackie, better to have press conferences, i don't think she wants to face questions of the i.g. report, on the clinton foundation donations and the kind of unscripted nature of a press conference. she'll face those questions in the interviews she's doing but for her it feels like a more controlled environment. >> finally, if history is made this week, errol what will that look like for the clinton campaign when they can truly shift towards november? >> every second is precious at this point. that's where the pressure from bernie sanders comes from. technically he's right. until they actually raise their hands and cast their ballots at the convention, sure. but they don't have time in the clinton camp, i think is their thinking, they don't have time to wait for that stuff. they've already started to pivot, gotten into a dogfight with donald trump. >> they need a peace summit before the convention? >> i doubt that will happen. party ald eelders. there are no party elders. >> they're the elders. >> bernie sanders, and including he's a sitting senator. nothing you can threaten him with. if he wants to stay in, he's going to stay in. >> okay. errol, david, jackie, thank you. >> subtle resignation from brooke baldwin. >> there you go. as for the republicans, guys, stick around. fear about donald trump, party leaders and donors worrying that trump's attacks on a judge's mexican heritage will drive voters away. instead of backing down, trump is doubling down, tripling down, live at trump tower for us, phil mattingly, good morning. >> reporter: for days, gop leaders in public and through back-channel communications urged donald trump to back off his attacks over a federal judge based on his ethnicity. instead, as you said, brooke, he hasn't just doubled down, he's tripped down, raising real feel inside the republican party. donald trump now musing that a hypothetical muslim judge might not remain neutral, if presiding over the case against trump university. >> a muslim judge, would you also feel they wouldn't be able to treat you fairly because of that policy of yours? >> it's possible, yes. yeah. that would be possible. >> reporter: and doubling down on his attacks against the mexican-american judge he says should be disqualified from the trial. >> if you are saying he can't do his job because of his race is that not the definition of racism? >> he's proud of his heritage. okay? i'm building a wall. he's a mex kinn. >> you're invoking his race whether or not he can do his job. >> i'm building a wall. okay? i'm bidding a wall. >> reporter: trump's comments increasingly raising sharp concerns inside the republican party. >> this is one of the worst mistakes trump has made and i think it's inexcusable. this judge is not mexican. this judge is an american citizen. >> reporter: interviews with a series of top gop officials, donors, fund-raisers and congressional aides making clear trump has crossed a major line. >> i completely disagree with the thinking behind that. >> i don't condone the comments, and we can press on to another topic. >> do you think it's a racist statement? >> i don't agree with what he had to say. this is a man who was born in indiana. >> reporter: it's a line of attack the republicans fear could endanger their majority in the senate. the gop is defending 24 seats this cycle, and threaten the future of the party. something senator mcconnell hinted at in an interview with cnn's jake tapper last week. >> do you worry at all that your nominee now, donald trump, will do to latino voters what barry goldwater did to african-american voters? >> i do. i do. >> reporter: and, chris, one of the very real concerns involved with all of this is that what donald trump says requires republican leaders to answer for on a pretty much daily basis. something that will really cloud whatever their candidates are trying to talk about, cloud paul ryan's agenda in the house. everything trump says one source tells me is something that republicans will have to answer for, and that is a major problem. one other issue we've all kept an eye on, a third-party run, david french, conservative constitutional loysh announces yesterday he will not run. for those like bill kristol, urging a third-party candidate, they lost one of their prime candidates. >> phil, well pointed out. french has a very interesting column out today about why he decided not to run and it actually circles right around the issue we're discussing right now. thanks to phil mattingly. donald trump isn't just worried about his politics. his policy as well is a problem. seems as though he changed his position on u.s. military intervention in libya, after spending most of the primary season suggesting libya would be much better off if moammar gadhafi was still in charge, trump now sings a different tune for the before and after we have cnn's suzanne malveaux live in washington with more. what do you see here, my friend? >> reporter: well, chris, i mean, trump's evolution and matters of foreign policy, stunning. last september trump was widely criticized for his lack of knowledge regarding the basics of international affairs. now, after a few foreign policy speeches and countless interviews he is revealing what he believes the u.s. role should are around the world. like many of his positions it is constantly changing. >> i was never for a strong intervengs. i could have seen surgical where you take off gadhafi and his group. >> reporter: donald trump reversing his position on u.s. military intervention in libya now saying he would have authorized targeted strikes to oust moammar gadhafi. >> a surgical strike and take him out. >> reporter: trump insisting that libya would be better off with gadhafi still in power. at a republican debate in february -- >> we would be so much better off if gadhafi were in charge right now. >> reporter: and to cnn's jake tapper in october -- >> the world would be better off with saddam hussein and gadhafi in power? >> 100%. >> reporter: but in 2011, trump advocated for action. >> we should do on a humanitarian basis immediately go in to libya, knock this guy out very quickly, very surgically, very effectively and save the lives. >> reporter: trump's libya flip-flop, just one of many political reversals. last week, trump accusing hillary clinton of lying about his proposal to arm japan and south korea with nuclear weapons. >> she lies so much. she said, donald trump wants japan to put a nuclear weapons. no, no, no. >> reporter: defying his own previous comments. >> maybe they would, in fact, be better off if they defend themselves from north korea? >> with nukes? >> including with nukes, yes. >> reporter: trump also staunchly maintained he opposed the war in iraq before it began. >> i was totally against the war in iraq. very proudly. saying for many years that it would destabilize the middle east. >> reporter: a claim that contradicts this position he took back in 2002. >> are you for invading iraq? >> yeah, i guess so. you know, i wish it was -- i wish the first time it was done correctly. >> reporter: what makes trump's contradiction over libya so stunning is it's one of the main criticisms he has of hillary clinton, her role of secretary of state to go after gadhafi, the whole ordeal in benghazi and the clinton campaign cease it as an opportunity to make the case he doesn't have the steadiness needed to become commander in chief. >> we'll get into that coming up with our panel. for now, suzann mag -- suzanne malveaux, thank you very much. can anyone sway donald trump?

because i'm going to bring back jobs and they're going to get jobs. i think i'm going to do very well with hispanics, but we're building a wall. he's a mexican. we're bidding a wall between here and mexico. >> if you are saying he can't do his job because of his race is that not the definition of racism? >> i don't think so at all. >> jake tapper counted 23 times he pushed him trying to ask essentially the same question. mr. trump in l.a., the presumptive republican nominee pushing back, and will trump pivot? big the panel back. mr. gregory, begin with you here and open with sound that's significant. we saw paul ryan, heard him on the radio last week repudiating some of the comments here with regard to this judge curiel in california. now heard from the senate majority leader from a potential vp contender bob corker and someone who loudly supported mr. trump, former speaker of the house newt gingrich. here he was over the weekend. >> this is one of the worst mistakes trump has made, and i think it's inexcusable. he has every right to criticize a judge, and has every right to say certain decisions aren't right and his attorneys can file to move the venue from the judge. first of all, this judge was born in indiana. he is an american, period. when you come to america, you get to become an american. and trump, who has grandparents who came to the u.s. should understand this as much as anybody. second, to characterize, you know -- if a liberal were to attack justice clarence thomas on the grounds that he's black, we would all go crazy. every conservative would say it was wrong, and it was racism. and trump has got to, i think, move to a new level. this is no longer the primaries. he's no longer an interesting contender. he is now the potential leader of the united states and he's got to move his game up to the level of being a potential leader. >> you consider what this, he did here, racism? >> i think that it was a mistake. i think that -- i lope hope it sloppiness. he says on other occasions he has many mexican friends, whatever, but that's not relevant. this judge is not mexican. this judge is an american citizen and deserves to be treated -- that means he can attack him as a judge, he's a liberal, no the doing things i agree with, he has lawyers. if it's a good case, they should file to change the venue. >> david gregory, major, major republican voices all talking about the presumptive nominee. what your read on newt gingrich's comments? >> extraordinary. not just newt gingrich, it's paul ryan, it's mitch mcconnell. you have the leadership of congress, you have a former attorney general, alberto gonzalez who said this kind of attack on the judiciary with a bigoted statement that speaks for itself has no place in america. certainly not from a potential president of the united states. if you're hillary clinton's opposition speech writers you put your pencils down and just turn on the television and let donald trump keep speaking, because this is now the head of the republican party. this has to be a huge warning sign across the board for republicans. not just about temperament but about the argument that hillary clinton is making about recklessness, and about unpredictability. i heard senator john mccain over the weekend in a piece in the "new york times." he was quoted saying, look, this kind of attack on the judiciary, there will be checks and balances in, government, a white house counsel and people who can rein him in if he's going to pursue a path of excess in terms of his powers as president. these have to be real concerns for not just the republican faithful but for others considering whether to vote for clinton and all of her negatives, and trump, in all of his negatives, and i think for the trump campaign they'll have to look at this and see it as a real red flag. >> it's not a situation where it was just once. he obviously believes this, errol, something he applies in different situations. >> right. >> gingrich didn't want to use the word "racism" or "bigotry" or "ethnicity" for political reasons. but everything before and after his statement makes the point very plain. the interesting thing is, newt's even more right than he knows in this subject. it's not a suggestion. when that roy moore, supreme court justice in alabama was putting christianity before the law, the republicans were all backing him. you know, saying, oh, we have to think about this. you can't just discount -- now that rule should be being applied and they're starting to move in that direction. the question is -- what do you do here? it's not about the merits. right? this judge continued this case. if he wanted to hurt trump he wouldn't have done that. instead of campaigning, he'd be in court. >> right. >> what are they supposed to do? >> it's an interesting question. i mean, donald trump is doing, i think, what he has done in private life quite a bit. which is, you attack the judge. you try and win the case. trying to win the case and trying to win the election are sort of going in different directions now and that's the core of his problem. he's an acolyte of roy cohen who famously said i don't need the facts of the case, just the name of the judge. he's a fixer a wheeler-dealer. the environmental real estate operates in. >> never filed a motion against this jump and the guy gave him the most important ruling in the case, to continue the case very much against the plaintiff's rule, he says because he released those documents. >> i think, because he's been through hundreds and hundreds of cases and because there's a lot of money at stake he reverts to business instincts, which is, attack the judge. say the judge is unfair, try to move the case in that way, perhaps even change the venue or get a new judge in some fashion, but none of that will happen and now the whole world of political troubles and as you suggest, you know, the case is still there. i mean, he's still going to have to deal with the claims against trump university and this same jump. by the way, is a hero as a prosecutor, life was endanger, targeted for assassination by mexican drug cartels. it's galling for him to even put up with this stuff, of course, he made no public statements what a judge should do. >> right. he should not be commenting on this case at all. unfortunately, this has become an extension of the case. jackie, the big stick against him is the la raza lawyers organization. that's what trump, his surge gits point to. >> they were confusing the la raza organization. >> what's the there, there on that? >> gosh. the bottom line, these republicans leaders coming out against trump now, trump that been doing this the entire time. this is what you bought. you bought a candidate that consistently uses ethnicity and religion against people to make his point. so, you know, we were talking about it before with mitch mcconnell, paul ryan, newt gingrich coming out saying what he said is inappropriate. they should play that in their ears at night. they have to keep saying it over and over again until saying stuff like i'm not here to talk about mr. trump but what i'm here to talk about in the first place. >> can't do that because he's running for president and we're going to ask the questions about x, y, z, whatever mr. trump said. is this what the next months will like like, david gregory, donald trump firing out of the mouth something and the republican leaders are stuck in a tough position, they said, yes, we'll vote for him, but, dot, dot, dot? >> exactly right. that is going to be quite a spectacle to watch, because take paul ryan for example, someone who clearly compromised on his core principles a as politician and elected official to endorse donald trump. he's looking at a cold polital calculation here which is, he wants control for the republicans of the house of representatives, and wants those trump voters to vote for those members. i think a lot of republican leaders simply don't know what the future is. is trump going to crash and burn as the republican nominee? or does he represent the future of the republican party? and so they're hedging. >> also, he extended it, right? he talked about a muslim judge, also. asked, do you think he could be? oh, yes, he could definitely be also. that really puts hem in a bind because of what happened with the christian judge in alabama. saying it's okay. now saying it's not okay. they have trbl on their hands. see how they deal with it. it's part of the coverage. please, keep up with the latest political news on the new cnn politics app. find details on bernie sanders, latest attacks on hillary clinton's error war decision and dig deeper into what we're talking about now and how trump defends his controversial comments about this district court judge. you can download the cnn politics app for free in the app store. cnn politics app. just ahead, checking in with a group of hispanic voters. how would they respond to donald trump's words, his rhetoric?

i'll give you everything i've got and then some... he gives a hundred and ten percent! i'm confident this 10% can boost your market share. look at that pie chart! boom! you've never seen a number like that! you feel me lois? i'm feeling you. yeah you do! let's do this! watch out he just had a whole thimble full of coffee... woot! woot! the ready for you alert, only at laquinta.com. la... quinta! yeah! wrely on the us postal service? because when they ship with us, their business becomes our business. that's why we make more e-commerce deliveries to homes than anyone else in the country. here, there, everywhere. united states postal service priority: you i think i'm going to do very well with hispanics but we're building a wall. he's a mexican. we're building a wall between here and mexico. >> donald trump says not only is the judge a mexican, who's against him, but a muslim would be, too. where trump is about the judge overseeing lawsuits against trump university. trump claims the judge, judge kule jehl, is biased because of his heritage. so how do people of that heritage feel about it? a group of hispanic here. some consider voting for him, do want to voe for him here, so let's get to the discussion. let's get a show of hands. how do we feel? is this relevant? does everybody agree this is relevant. >> yes. >> i don't think it's relevant. >> because, sir? >> let's focus on the issues, focus on the economy, focus on national security. >> focus on a microphone. everyone gets a chance to speak. don't censor him. >> focus on the economy. on jobs, on national security. and on protecting america. that's what we have to focus on. >> but -- does it matter that in describing why this judge is against him it is on the basis of his ethnicity? if this man were to be president of the united states, should there be a sensitivity to this kind of thing? >> yes, there is, but, however, remember, he is, was given some funding from the clintons over the past several, two or three years. is that a political issue? it could be, but this is not relevant, my opinion. >> tell people who you are, and who you're thinking of voting for. >> i am from union city, new jersey, and i'm voting for donald trump for a change. >> well, this is simply an indefensible attack on the judiciary. a motion for summary judgment just to make that clear, would mean that there isn't sufficient evidence to move forward in this case, and in a case like this, where you have so many people, this is a class action suit. who have already testified as to the fact that they've been defrauded. >> 12 opted out. >> how can you grant summary judgment on a case like this? when he loses the case he conveniently turns around and claims discrimination and racism. it's -- it's beneath a presidential candidate, pure and simple. >> people are here who say, wait a minute. if i'm of mexican descent and this man seems to be hofstile towards mexicans because he's building a wall, maybe that be influence me. are you dismissing that completely? >> i'm dismissing it. when you look at the specifics of this case, ample evidence to show a motion for a summary judgment would have weren't erroneous, misapplied. we don't question the decisions made by the numerous white judges in the country. and this is, again, just an example of donald trump's demagoguery. he's not trying to make america great again. he's trying to make a xenophobic and racist against. it's wrong and beneath a presidential candidate. >> who are you and who are are voting for? >> i'll marina valentine and will vote against donald trump. >> thanks for having me on, i'm from new jersey. i'm an academic. one of the things i pride myself on i look at this rationally and pragmatically. >> no place here. >> i'm a registered independent. >> you could never host this show. >> unfortunate. okay. >> how do you see the situation? >> it's unfortunate because what's going on with this issue with donald trump, it's another miscalculation on his regard in terms of his momentum moving forward in this campaign. what we've seen for months now with him is this sort of calculated attacks against his opponents with his own party and obviously against senator sanders and primarily against secretary clinton. what's going on now is just another miscalculation on donald trump's part. i think what he needs to do, again, as an independent, i would advise him to get eway from, trying to delegate this in the court of public opinion. let his attorneys deal with this within the laws of the land and go from there. the convention is next month and he needs to focus on a platform, defining his issues and defining what makes him a better choice than ultimatelywhy is it so eas hear about, i don't care what he says about me. why wouldn't someone care about this, and do you? >> it's disheartening. i'm marilyn oliverio and give in glastonbury, my second time on the panel, so great to be back, but this is a huge misstep for the kind comments that come out of donald trump, and i think what i'd like to say today is that the republican party needs to understand that latinos are paying attention. we are following this, the comments that can be ludicrous comments that come out of this gentleman's mouth. and so the fact -- >> he says he's going to bring jobs. that's all that matters and latinos will wind up wanting that. >> we absolutely do not believe that. i don't believe him. >> i believe you, frankly. i want you to -- >> thank you. >> the bottom line is that he lies continuously. he throws sensational comments out there to get the attention of the people. it's almost like entertainment. so that he can get those kind of soundbites that he needs so that people will think that he is saying what they want to hear. so folks today are basically just looking for anything that sounds like a change, but basically they're buying into fraud. just like -- trump university. >> but it's a desperate environment now and people are sick of the system. >> people are desperate. >> people like frank, last word to you, what matters the most to you and why are you voting the way you are? >> jobs. bringing back jobs to the united states, and increasing our national security, and -- strengthening our defenses. >> he's not -- >> but you have to give the man and opportunity. >> we have -- >> i'm looking at hillary clinton and i was a democrat years ago, and -- >> for the establishment and the jobs -- >> but i -- but i tell you, give the man the opportunity. give him a chance. >> why? >> chris -- >> let's be fair, too. >> i'm sorry, frank. letson fair too. the reason trump is doing well as he is in national polls against hillary, let's be fair, hillary clinton is not trustworthy, doesn't look believable. sorry to break that to supporters, sorry, marilyn, but the reality, she's not believable and it's no coincidence that that variable itself is why trump and her are virtually tied. >> doesn't matter what the ethnicity is, we hear it from every panel. one of the biggest brains in journalism, tom friedman, same thing. do i love my choices? no. we all have a choice to make regardless. leave it there. a lot of news to cover at the top of the hour. on the verge of history with hillary clinton if she can close off this nomination. could it happen tomorrow? let's start. i want to finish strong here in california. >> the process allowed secretary clinton over 400 super delegates before any other democratic candidate was in the race. >> i will have a significant majority of pledged delegates by the close of voting on tuesday. >> we're going to fight to become the nominee. >> he's a mexican heritage and very proud of it. i think he should recuse himself. >> i couldn't disagree more with what he had to say. >> i think it's inexcusable. >> if he were a muslim judge would you also think they wouldn't be able to treat you fairly? >> ah, it's possible, yes. i am the greatest. >> muhammad ali was much more that the boxer. he was ambassador of peace. >> he'll be remembered as a man that really changed the world. >> float like a butterfly and sting like a bee! >> announcer: this is "new day" with chris cuomo and alisyn camerota. good morning. welcome to your "new day." alisyn's off. my friend brooke baldwin is here. >> good morning. >> very good to have you with us. up first, hillary clinton poised to make history. her win 29 delegates ewa from clinching the delegation. tomorrow's super tuesday, six states voting. the expectation, that will put her over the top, making her the first woman to become a presidential nominee in u.s. history. rival bernie sanders, he's not about the history. he's about his campaign and he launched a new line of attacks and is pushing for a contested convention. >> we will get to the dems, get to republicans as well pap growing fear on the republican side that dntonald trump's attas on a judge could cost them. could it cost the vote in november and is he doing now, with these comments, irreparable harm with the party? we have the 2016 race covered as cnn can. begin with chris frates live in los angeles. chris, good morning. >> reporter: hey, good morning, brooke. tell you, with one day to go in the final super tuesday, hillary clinton is within striking distance of clinching the democratic nomination and making history. bernie sanders is not done, vowing whatever happens tuesday, he's staying in the race until the convention. hillary clinton's win in puerto rico over the weekend puts her on the cusp of an historic nomination. >> i want to stay here in california. it means -- it means the world to me. >> reporter: just a few delegates shy of hitting that magic number, clinton is looking to tuesday's final round of democratic primaries to seal the deal. >> on tuesday i will have decisively won the popular vote, and i will have decisively won the pledged delegate majority. you can't get much more than that out of a primary season. >> reporter: clinton telling cnn's jake tapper after tuesday's contest she's pushing for party unity. >> i expect senator sanders to do the same, and that we will come together and be prepared to go to the convention in a unified way. >> reporter: but clinton's rival bernie sanders argues that clinton's super delegates shouldn't be counted just yet. >> hillary clinton will not have the requisite number of pledged delegates to win the democratic nomination at the end of the nominating process. the democratic national convention will be a contested convention. >> reporter: vowing to take his campaign all the way to the convention, he's banking on delegate-rich california to give him momentum. sanders elevating his attacks on clinton sunday saying the foreign government donations to the clinton foundation are a conflict of interest. >> if you asked me about the clinton foundation, do i have a problem when a sitting secretary of state and a foundation run by her husband collects many millions of dollars from foreign governments. governments which are dictatorships. do i have a problem with that? yeah, i do. >> do you think it creates a conflict of interest? >> yeah, i do. i do. >> reporter: even sanders will have an uphill battle after tuesday. numbers don't lie. 400 of which, sanders says, backed clinton before sanders even got this race and he wants a chance to make his case to the super delegates before they vote at july's convention. but if clinton wins big tomorrow, that's an argument that gets even harder for sanders to make, chris. >> all right, mr. frates, put a lot of issues on the table. thank you for that. let's discuss them with chief strat jit for hillary for america, mr. joel bennett. joel good to have you on the show. >> thank you. >> so history. this is history that your candidate is on the cusp of. i feel like we don't hear about it enough from the campaign. why? is that a calculation? >> because you just mentioned it. >> you depend on us to toot your own horn you're going to have trouble. >> it's been talked about throughout the campaign. i think the reality brought up from time to time. she talked about, you know what it would mean for her to win from the first day she was out on the stump that some day every parent would be able to say to his or her daughter, she can grow up to be anything she wants, and she'll be able to see that palpably when hillary clinton is the nominee of a major party, first time ever in history. obviously, tomorrow night that will be pretty clear. and then hopefully go on and be elected president of the united states. >> what's your best sense? you think you win california? >> it's like a lot of states. it's close, competitive. we win a tight race, i do, and i think we'll were win new jersey. pretty confident about that. earlier in the evening -- that will do it? after new jersey? >> you see where we are now, where within reach obviously having majority of pledged delegates. >> do you think you get the pledged as well as the overall number? >> with the number, 700 out there tomorrow night. over, i can't remember the exact number right now. 289, 290 delegate lead. even if you split those in half tomorrow night it probably puts us over a majority. >> you guys have been saying all along, sanders should be in this race. he should run his campaign. he should do what he thinks is right. do you still feel that way? we're now very close to the date in 2008 where hillary clinton stepped aside for barack obama. that does not seem to be the case here. in fact, it is not the case. >> well, remember, hillary clinton did that after all the primaries were cleat. >> yes. >> that's hases tomorrow night. >> yes. >> i think after that the voting is done. the people have spoken. hillary clinton will have a lead in the popular vote over senator sanders by over 3 million, have a majority of delegates. i think a majority of pledged delegates. i think by every measure it's time to recognize what happened here. that hillary clinton won more states, more votes, more delegates and she's going to be the nominee and we hope he'll do what he said he'll do, work as hard as he can to make sure donald trump isn't president. >> what do you do at the convention, if it is, in fact, contested? if he is still making his case what do you do? >> look, we want to have a convention that united states the party, energizes the party because the stakes in the race are pretty high. a lot of conversations will happen beginning after the votes are counted tomorrow night. remember, hillary clinton when you mention the date, it was about a week after the primaries concluded last time. i think there's a reality here. senator sanders has run a spirited campaign. he's enthusiastically got his supporters out. but so did they in 2008. and they came together, because the democrats have to stand together to defeat donald trump and the risk he poses. >> the things that you need to do to win. let's check some of them off. one, this is a small one but will help with this current audience here. more press conferences. more press. get out there. don't hide. don't let it all be about trump. will we see more of her? >> you've seen a lot of her. does a lot of interviews. >> not enough. press conferences, fewest in 15 years. >> i've never been in a press corps that didn't complain they weren't getting more of the candidate. what the voters want to hear, hear from the candidate directly. they love town halls, when they're out there meeting with voters and hear real people asking questions. books have been written about the kinds of questions that voters ask as opposed to what reporters ask. one wrote "breaking the news" many years ago. they looked at voters asked questions that are about their lives and reporters ask questions that are all about the process. and what voters want to hear is the questions that will affect them, which candidate is going to do more to make a difference in their lives. because that's what they're voting on. >> all right. then when we talk to voters what we're hearing right now, with trump, temperament is becoming an issue. with clinton, trust has always been the issue, from a to z, doesn't matter who we're talking to. and it's as true now as it was at the beginning. the i.g. report cemented that for people. the spin out on your side, or the arguments out of your side is, that i.g. report said no law was broken. it said a lot of things, like she never asked per nobody ever did this with that server. shouldn't have deleted the e-mails. that all goes to trust. ho do you combat that? >> you address the questions, she has repeatedly. some are absolutely correct. >> all of the things i just said are correct. >> the i.g., the state department has to clarify add modernize about what you'lls exist. secretary kerry is the first secretary of state to have a state dot gov e-mail address. what's going on here, positives and negatives each candidate is going to speak about themselves and about each other. what's going to happen here is that there's going to be a campaign of issues and ideas, because that's what voters care about. at the end of the day, which of these two people can i count on to make sure my income is going to go up? that this economy is going to work for me, not for people just at the top? which candidate has a real plan to create jobs? modernize our infrastructure, including power grid and make us the clean energy power, clean energy superpower of the 21st century? as opposed to donald trump who calls himself the king of debt and wants to add trillions of dollars in debt, which economists say could put us in a permanent recession. >> you can have the pedigree and the ideas but you have to have the mandate nap co. that comes with trust of the voter. what do you do about the i.g. report, whether about the clinton foundation or whatever, how do you go at them or is the strategy avoid them? >> no. you address the questions. look, she's addressed th these questions going almost a year now. come up before the i.g. and since the report. you address them. get to talking about what matters to people. who will create the jobs to support a family? who will make sure we raise wages in and income in america? that my kids is get a great education no matter the zip code we live in? that's the kind of america we want to build and they want a president who understands that our diversity is our strength and we are stronger when we act together as a country. not the kind of divisive, bigoted comments we've been hearing from donald trump. not just about latinos. not just about mexicans. we're talking about a guy who mocked the disabled reporter on camera, and then lied about it and said he never met the guy. i was a reporter with serge kovaleski. trump covered him several years and everybody should see that video as well as dividing americans and pitting us against each other. we have challenges to solve in this country. the only way to do that, working together. not pitting each other against each other. >> always a pleasure. brooke? >> gentlemen, thank you. as for republicans, growing fear inside the republican party, specifically about donald trump. a number of party leaders and donors as well. they're worried that trump's attacks on this judge's mexican heritage will drive voters away this fall, but donald trump showing no signs of backing down. cnn's phil mattingly is live at new york's trump tower. phil, good morning. >> reporter: now, good morning, brooke. donald trump has had no shortage of opportunities to walk those attacks back, and no shortage of republican officials telling him both publicly and sources say privately to do just that. he hasn't. at least at this point, it appears he won't and that is only raising fears inside the gop. donald trump now musing that a hypothetical muslim judge might not remain neutral if presiding over the case against trump university. >> muslim judge, would you also feel they wouldn't be able to treat you fairly, because of that policy of yours? >> ah -- it's possible, yes, yeah. that would be possible. >> if you are saying he can't do his job because of his race is that notes definition of racism? >> he's proud of his heritage. okay? i'm building a wall. he's a mexican. >> you're invoking his race whether or not he can do his job. >> jake -- i'm building a wall. okay? i'm building a wall. >> reporter: trump's comments increasingly raising sharp concerns inside the republican party. >> this is one of the worst mistakes trump has made and i think it's inexcusable. this judge is not mexican. this judge is an american citizen. >> reporter: interviews with a series of top gop officials, donors, fund-raisers and congressional aides making clear trump has crossed a major line. >> i completely disagree with the thinking behind that. >> i don't condone the comments, and we can press on to another topic. >> do you think it's a racist statement? >> i don't agree with what he had to say. this is a man who was born in indiana. >> reporter: it's a line of attack the republicans fear could endanger their majority in the senate. the gop is defending 24 seats this cycle, and threaten the future of the party. something senator mcconnell hinted at in an interview with cnn's jake tapper last week. >> do you worry at all that your nominee now, donald trump, will do to latino voters what barry goldwater did to african-american voters? >> i do. i do. >> reporter: and, chris, one of the big issues you hear from republican officials, this is just another instance of republicans having to answer for donald trump's comments. whether it's paul ryan, who's seeking to push his house republican agenda or endangered candidates in the senate or house every day is now dominated by answering to donald trump. that is problematic as they try to get theirs message out. one other note. david french, conservative writer iraq war veteran considering a third-party candidacy writing in "national review" he will not run for president. all of those conservatives continuing to look for a third party option. so far, none has emerged. chris? >> phil if all going out there hoping that what they say will influence trump, change what he's saying, prepare for disappointment. he's out there this morning saying they all have it wrong. thank you for the reporting. going to give you the latest on what trump's response is to calls that he shouldn't be talking about this judge's heritage. as any kind of excuse -- he's ready to fight. all the way to the finish. next. when josh atkins books at laquinta.com. he gets a ready for you alert the second his room is ready. so you know what he gives?

what do you make of those comments? do you think they're racist? >> absolutely they're racist and this is the thing donald trump takes advantage of. in our p.c. culture, a lot of time a social media mob attacks people unintentionally making comments deemed unp.c. let's be explicitly clear about this. attacking someone who can't do their job because of their race or religion is absolutely racist. it's wrong. and this is the thing. it's at the core of donald trump's campaign when he went down that escalator and made his announcement on june 16th, he attacked mexicans and in an inappropriate and purposely demeaning manner, and this is the thing. it's his entire campaign. when i see people like newt gingrich all of a sudden outraged about donald trump that want to have it both way s support him but wag their finger at him? no. embrace donald trump or reject him. these racist, demeaning remarks are at the core of his campaign. it's not right for the republican party, not in line with reagan's shining city on the hill and we need to say no to donald trump clearly. >> how is it racist to express concern? this guy is obviously -- >> he was born in indiana, though. born in indiana. >> he's not a mexican, for starters, carl. he's not a mexican. donald trump is saying -- >> why is that pertinent? >> if you say someone -- >> that's not racist to raise the question. >> if you are raising the question, can somebody make a clear-eyed judgment because of their race, because they are mexican, they are inherently biased, that is a racist statement. that donald trump is making. that a mexican judge cannot be impartial, because he is mexican. excuse me, a judge of mexican descent cannot make an impartial judgment, because of his racial origin. >> let me jump in. that's one question a lot of people are asking and even prominent republicans. some of them speaking around the notion of bigotry, racism but not calling it specifically. beyond that with the shifting demographics in the country you want the latino vote? you need the latino vote, right? in addition to what he said about building a wall and calling out multiple times, judge curiel's ethnicity what he said yesterday on cbs about it, and i wouldn't be okay with a muslim either. you don't want to alienate those voters in terms of sheer numbers, and if he wants to be the next president of the united states, how is this not going to hurt him? >> he's not alienating them in large numbers. certain people he is. the people like the people at his rallies throwing rocks at the pro-trump people, burning flags -- >> not talking about the ralli s rallies. talking about large part of the country whose votes you would like to have. >> they came here legally, love his policies. we need a businessman to get the process going to become legal more easily, also the fact that we don't want illegal immigrants here in the first place unless they're part of the system and have come here legally. that's what trump -- >> tim, you know florida. jump in on, you know, what you know. how this is resonating. how important the latino vote is. this is something the senate majority leader was concerned about, mitch mcconnell talking about this over the weekend as well. >> sometimes feels silly to talk about the political implications of this, because how morally repulsive what donald trump is doing is. he's attacking somebody that is not a protestors, that -- he's attacking a judge. when carl says critical of i illegal immigrants, not true for muslims. he wants to ban legal muslims from this country. this is a disaster. >> just looking at what's at stake here. >> look at south florida, where jeb is from, the congress, carlos, and others from south florida, can't even support donald trump. they're one of the few republicans standing up against him because his brand is so damaging in south florida, which is salve absolutely a key swing area of country we need to win if we want to win national elections. >> thank you both so much. chris, to you. >> all right. look, what is this going to mean to voters?

that leads me to this -- and not only me as an american, proud american of mexican descent, but many folks, to the belief that there's something wrong with the republican party, and they are not owning up to their candidate and the many faults that this man has. so that's where we begin right now. >> and so, you know fact in this situation, which should be disclosed is, if this judge were against trump's cause in any way for whatever reason, the smartest thing for him to have done would have been to not allow the continuance of this case. that's allowed trump to go with his campaign and not have to worry about the court battle. judge curiel continued the case, and it bought trump a lot of time. it was an odd decision for a man who was against trump. you're saying something else we keep hearing. which is, newt gingrich, mcconnell, rhine, coming out saying they don't like what trump is saying. they think, hey, he should adjust. you are offended by their reaction, because you're saying, how can they be surprised? this is who he is. you bought him, now you own him. you believe that it's too late to say, they're sorry? >> you know what? i don't believe that it's too late to say that they're sorry. it's never too late. but it's becoming too late for them to do something that's going to convince all of americans that he is the person who should be entrusted with the safety of our families and of our nation. i've been a public defender here in los angeles county for over two decades, and i can tell thaw i've dealt with many issues with regards to domestic violence, and abusive relationships. right now, unfortunately, the republican party is in an abusive relationship with mr. trump. because they are co-dependents in that every single time that this man opens his mouth about muslims, about women, about the disabled, about veterans and mexicans, of course, they come up with an excuse. they say, look, ah, it's not that bad. he meant this. he's really not a bigot. but that is the typical, and not a typical but stereotypical view of what an abusive relationship is. one other thing is this, chris. the republican national party should look at what happened in california in 1994. and look at the prop -- what i'm calling the prop 187 effect. back then, proposition 187 passed, not overwhelmingly, but it meant to take away certain rights or services for undocumented immigrants. governor wilson and the california republican party unfortunately embraced that, and what it did, three things. and my parents were the perfect example. i'm parents had been legal permanent residents over three decades. what they did was, first thing. they became u.s. citizens. second, they registered to vote, and the third thing, which i believe is going to happen to the rest of the country, they became democrats. that is what's going to happen to the national republican party if they do not put an end to the rhetoric, not only rhetoric, but the actions of mr. trump. >> mr. rodriguez, thank you very much for making the case and your feelings known on "new day." appreciate it. >> thank you, chris. >> brooke? reaction live from the trump campaign on his attacks of the judge of mexican heritage. that is coming up next. also ahead, we want to honor this morning muhammad ali. his extraordinary legend, personal memories, hall of fame promoter, knew the boxer, activist and the name. so yostanding up.ddle. with a friend. or you're a skier. or snowboarder. or a skier with two kids who snowboard. wait, where's your wife?

i'm feeling you. yeah you do! let's do this! watch out he just had a whole thimble full of coffee... woot! woot! the ready for you alert, only at laquinta.com. la... quinta! yeah! just heard chris' interview with louise rodriguez, former head of the california bar association regarding donald trump's attack on a federal judge for having "absolute conflict due to his mexican heritage." top rubb republican leaders, sa it could have a lasting effect. seenier adviser to the trump campaign. nice to see you. good morning. >> good morning. >> so mr. trump, he was on a morning show this morning. he was asked about this judge again, given an opportunity to clear it up, walk it back. in addition to all of the other reporters who have questioned him, and he instead triples down again, highlighting this judge's mexican heritage, which is just wrong. he's born in indiana. isn't it time he apologizes? >> look, this is a legal matter that is directly with the trump organization and the campaign is not authorized to speak on that specific matter, but what i can say is that if this is the best that the democrats have to offer, then i think donald trump is going to certainly win in the fall. let's not forget there's only one candidate in this race that's under fbi investigation and has the potential of going to jail and that's not donald trump. >> but we are talking about serious charges with regard to this trump university class action lawsuit. so there is that as well. but we'll let the campaign handle that. let me ask you this, though. greater question on the latino vote. right? we just heard from the senate majority leader mitch mcconnell over the weekend. this is his fear "it's a big mistake for our party to write off latino americans." of course in the wake of mr. trump talking about this judge. "they're an important part of the country and soon to be the largest majority group in the country." you have that and the hillary clinton campaign seizing upon this. look at this ad out today. ♪ >> if you are saying he can't do his job because of his race, is that not the definition of racism? >> we're building a wall. he's a mexican. >> how dare he question a judge's responsibility, a judge's adherence to the constitution because he is of mexican descent. >> how would you respond to that? >> look, i think the real issue here is that we can't have open borders. if we have open borders we can't have a country. we have to secure our borders and that is a big priority of donald trump and americans want to secure our borders. it's a national security issue and one that has to be addressed and the only one taking it seriously. >> he keeps talking about heritage and hearing mr. rodriguez a moment ago, reminding everyone, when he talked about mexicans when he launched his campaign and the derogatory words used. you need the latino vote in november. i don't have to tell you that, i know. >> and i think that a lot of the latinos will eventually come onboard and support donald trump, because at the end of the day, there are a lot of things they care about. that's the economy and national security, and those are things that americans trust donald trump on infinitely more than hillary clinton on, poll after poll has showed that donald trump is infinitely better on the economy and national security, and that's the thing keeping people up at mind to and the thing people are going to vote on and donald trump's going to win that battle hands down every time against hillary clinton. >> maybe you're absolutely right and this issue with this judge won't be a huge issue come november, but something that might be is this now mounting list of issues in which he has, you know, werther you want to call it a flip-flop, just total about-face or reversal, most recent talking about u.s. military intervention in libya. just for everyone following along, just recently he said, yes, he would have favored surgical strikes in libya. just this past february as a cnn debate he said, no, the world would be better off in moammar gadhafi was still around and 2011, he said yes to surgical strikes. it's important. i'll get to that, but here is mr. trump in his own words. >> gadhafi in libya is killing thousands of people, nobody knows how bad it is. we should go in. we should stop this guy, which would be very easy and very quick. we could do it surgically. stop him from doing it, and save these lives. we should do on a humanitarian basis immediately go in to libya, knock this guy out very quickly, very surgically, very effectively and save the lives. >> i was, i never discussed that subject. i was in favor of libya. we would be so much better off if gadhafi were in charge right now. >> i was never for a strong intervention. i could have seen surgical where you take out gadhafi and his group. >> so, sarah, now add libya to the list. nukes with south korea and japan, gun control, the list is growing. i'm thinking from the perspective as an american voter, if you see someone who wants to be the leader of the free world who goes back and forth and back and forth on major issues, how is that going to give somebody confidence in that kind of leader? >> look, i think the big thing here with donald trump is that his number one priority is to keep americans safe. he's not a career politician. he hasn't been entrenched in a lot of these things like hillary clinton has her entire life and so -- >> what about as commander in chief? >> -- these big issues. i'm sorry? >> what about steadfast as a commander in chief? sticking to something? >> i think he has stuck to the biggest and most important thing. keeping america safe. he's infinitely stronger than hillary clinton in, the obama administration, a complete disaster. enemies don't fear barack obama and certainly don't fear hillary clinton and they do fear donald trump. that's a very important time when radical islam is on the rise. he'll rebuild our military, and he'll take care of our veterans. things that frankly, barack obama and hillary clinton have completely failed to do. when you contrast those two things and you put the point of donald trump's overarching foreign policy to keep us safe, it's a huge contrast and i >> thank you for your time this morning. i appreciate it. chr chris, it you? fighting made the man famous. standing up for peace helped to make him a legend. we are remembering muhammad ali with a fellow boxer next. i'll give you everything i've got and then some... he gives a hundred and ten percent! i'm confident this 10% can boost your market share. look at that pie chart! boom! you've never seen a number like that! you feel me lois?

>> well, there were two alis. there was the ali who fought prior to the mid 1967 when, unfairly, he was deprived of his license, taken away. that early ali was the most incredible fighter ever. he was faster. he had better hands, better feet than the great legendary sugar ray robinson. yet ali was a big heavyweight. nobody had ever seen a heavyweight that could move that fast and throw punches in those angles. he was so far and above any heavyweight that had come before, even the legendary joe lewis. he was on record to create a boxing record like no one had ever -- >> even after his conscientious objection -- i saw him on the joe namath show and he was saying do you think he could be better than before after a two-year layoff? and ali said could you? and namath said no. and he said well i can. >> when he came back in 1970, they not only knew that he could take a punch, but he had an iron chin. now, when he came back, he had lost a lot of his speed. he couldn't dance around the ring. so, instead, he used his smarts and he stood there, by and large, against fighters who he dared to punch with him. and he felt that he could outsmart them, out-hit them and win the fights. it was a different muhammad ali. his smarts were such that, for example, when he fought the big george foreman in zaire, foreman could knock down a building. ali knew that. so, ali's strategy was to tell foreman that he couldn't hurt him so that foreman would throw dozens and dozens and dozens of punches and finally tire himself out so that ali, having taken the punches against the rope in the famous rope-a-dope was able to knock out an exhausted george foreman. >> his genius in the ring, in many respects, was second to the genius he exhibited out of it. he took on religion and race at a time that certainly no athlete was doing it the way he did. he continued it with a lifelong legacy well beyond his own words could empower the message. his presence did the same. what motivated him? what do you think his impact was early and late? >> well, we don't know what ever motivates a person. ali grew up in an era where african-americans were treated horribly in this country. in great parts of the country, they couldn't eat at a lunch counter. they couldn't use a restroom. hotels were segregated. in the north, things weren't very much better. there were not opportunities for african-americans. schooling was terrible. and african-americans were expected not to speak out, particularly not to speak out loudly. that change, their leaders told them, would come incrementally. and ali didn't feel that that type of position was proper. and he spoke out. and he was the first prominent black athlete ever to speak out. and people were horrified. but once the horror went away a little bit, people realized that what the guy was saying made sense. why would black people not be able to have the same opportunities, the same rights, the same way to live a good life as white people? why was white always considered, in ali's mind, better than black? why isn't black also pretty? that's what he would have -- his face. look how pretty. look how pretty. and as far as religion is concerned, like most people who believed, at first he believed in a form of islam which was exclusive, nation of islam believed that their religion, theirs was for black people. gradually with the death of mohammed and his son, wallace, they changed that. and ali joined that element so that the muslim congregations that come out of the origination of islam are very, very intellectually muslim, peace loving and very inclusive. ali became part of that. the nation of islam. >> bob arum, you wrote a great piece, an op-ed in the telegraph where you talk about his legacy and how he started and how he did it wound up being one of the reasons we have barack obama as president. thank you for being here. i have other news i have to get in as well. thank you for being with us, mr. arum. it's a pleasure to meet you and always is important to remember what ali did, inside and out. >> thank you, chris. lot of news this morning for you. hillary clinton closer to clinching the nomination. that would be history. let's get to it. >> the democratic convention will be contested. >> tuesday, i will have decisively won the popular vote. >> the energy is with us, not hillary clinton. >> i'm going to do everything i can to unify the democratic party and i expect senator sanders to do the same. >> i've been treated very unfairly by this judge. this judge is of mexican heritage. i'm building a wall, okay? >> a muslim judge, would you also feel like they wouldn't be able to treat you fairly? >> possibly, yes. >> this is one of the worst mistakes trump has made. >> we would be so much better off if gadhafi were in charge. good morning. >> oh, hello. >> welcome to your "new day." it's monday, june 6th, 8:00 in the east. al alisyn is off. bb, brooke baldwin is with me. hillary clinton's win in puerto rico's primary putting her 29 delegates away from securing the democratic nomination. tomorrow's final super tuesday, six states voting, expected to put clinton over the top. that would make her the first woman presidential nominee in u.s. history. rival, bernie sanders, isn't talking about history. he's talking about the convention. he's saying it's going to be contested. >> he said he's in it until philadelphia. you have that. growing concerns on the republican side, donald trump's repeated attacks on the judge's mexican heritage could come back to haunt them. could trump cost the republican the latino vote in november? is he doing serious harm to the party? we have the presidential race covered for you only the way that cnn can. we have chris frates. good morning. >> good morning, brooke. bernie sanders is not going anywhere. he has vowed no matter what happens in tuesday's contest, he's staying in the race until the convention. hillary clinton's win in puerto rico over the weekend puts her on the cusp of an historic nomination. >> i want to finish strong here in california. it means -- it means the world to me. >> now just a few delegates shy of hitting that magic delegate number and becoming the first woman to clinch the democratic nomination -- >> on tuesday i will have decisively won the popular vote and the pledge delegate majority. you can't get much more than that out of a primary season. >> reporter: clinton telling cnn's jake tapper after tuesday's contest she's pushing for party unity. >> i expect senator sanders to do the same. we will come together and be prepared to go to the convention in a unified way. >> reporter: clinton's rival, bernie sanders, argues that clinton's super delegates shouldn't be counted just yet. >> hillary clinton will not have the requisite number of pledged delegates to win the democratic nomination at the end of the nominating process. the democratic national convention will be a contested convention. >> reporter: vowing to take his campaign all the way to the convention, he's banking on delegate-rich california to give him momentum. sanders even elevating his attacks on clinton sunday, saying the foreign government donations to the clinton foundation are a conflict of interest. >> do i have a problem with the clinton foundation when a sitting secretary of state and a foundation run by her husband collects many millions of dollars from foreign governments, governments which are dictatorships, do i have a problem with that? yeah, i do. >> you think it creates an appearance of klt conflict of interest? >> i do. i do. >> sanders will have an uphill battle tuesday because numbers don't lie. 500 more delegates than sanders, 400 that supported clinton before he got into this race. he wants to make his case to those delegates at the convention. if clinton wins big tomorrow, that argument becomes a tougher sell. chris? >> mr. frates, numbers don't lie. it can dereceive. is it with pledged votes, super delegates or both? hillary clinton supporter california congressman adam schift. ranking member of the house committee i should say. good to have you with us. do you believe clinton wins california, do you believe she captures the necessary number of pledged delegates before the convention? >> chris, we want everybody to turn out and vote tomorrow, whoever they're supporting. we want a huge turnout. there will be time on wednesday to sort it out. on wednesday, secretary clinton will have the requisite number of delegates, pledged and super delegates and the fact that she will have won by millions of votes, the popular vote, will have a majority of the pledged delegates will mean the super delegates committed to her will remain committed to her. we don't want to get too much past tomorrow. we want everybody turning out. it's important not only that people have their voices heard in the presidential race but we have a lot of races, down ticket that we want people to turn out as well. we're encouraging maximum turnout in california tomorrow. >> two big obstacles for hillary clinton, one in the form of vermont senator bernie sanders. if she captures, hillary clinton, the number of pledged delegates, i know how your system works. i know the super delegates count but for the sake of argument if she gets the pledged delegates would you advise that bernie sanders withdraw as opposed to what he's doing right now, i'm going to the convention and trying to win this nomination? >> if i suggest or others are trying to push him out, he will push back. that's a decision he ultimately have to to make. we all want to see the same thing, we broadly hold the same policy priorities and last thing we want is a decisive fight that helps donald trump become president of the united states. i know that secretary clinton after tuesday will make her best outreach to senator sanders. i hope that's reciprocated. i hope they can join forces to make an effort that a democrat is in the white house. it would be a disaster in terms of income inequality, raise wages in america, campaign spending. if we have someone like donald trump in the white house. for all the issues that the sanders' supporters as well as clinton supporters care about, we need to come together in this party and i hope that begins wednesday. >> you know that there is no category that sanders does better against clinton in than trust. and there are some big issues hang out there over hillary clinton's head, what she's going to have to deal with, the campaign and her supporters alike. bernie sanders just mentioned that he has concerns when the clinton foundation was taking in donations from foreign governments. that ig report raised a lot of questions about what she said versus what she did with the e-mails. as the house ranking member of the house intelligence committee, you know the fbi is looking at the handling of intelligence information by clinton. how big are these issues for you? >> look, the justice department will be wrapping up their investigation in the near future. >> how do you know? >> you're right, i don't know, but from the comments that the director has made, they want to get this done in a thorough, but expeditious way. they don't want this to carry on throughout the course of the entire year. they're going to dot every "i," cross every "t." it will wrap up soon. when it does, secretary clinton can put this behind her. republicans are going to continue to try to make an issue of it. nonetheless when you compare in the bigger scheme of things to what voters are going to care about going to the polls in november, they'll be far more concerned about the contradi contradictory and often counterproductive positions donald trump is taking when it comes to the national security of the country, something i care deeply about. he just reversed himself against on the subject of libya. the secretary made a very powerful speech earlier in the week, highlighting all the ways in terms of his praise for putin and kim jong-un in north korea, belittling of the nato alliance, the fact that he is unconcerned about a nuclear arms race in the middle east or another one in asia. all of these things are antithetical to -- >> we see it in every poll. very often, clinton and trumplt if you are comparing yourself to trump on this basis, you're already speaking to a problem that you have. either she's upside down very often when it comes to positive and negative favorable ratings and it's usually all about trust. to end the interview on this note, which obviously is sensitive to you and your position on the intell committee. you believe the fbi wraps up and there are no indictments? >> absolutely, chris. i've not seen any evidence of criminal intent here. i think they do wrap up and conclude there's no evidence of a crime. i feel confident going forward. i do think, chris, part of what we're seeing is the cumulative impact of four years of intensive attacks on secretary clinton. republicans don't want to run against her. they do want to run against senator sanders. you've seen them concentrate all their fire on secretary clinton. all that negative campaigning does have an impact. i'm confident shae will overcome as we move into the general election. >> adam schiff, democrat from california, thank you for joining us on "new day." >> thanks, chris. >> brooke? growing fear inside the republican party about donald trump, his attacks on this judge's mexican heritage will drive voters away. instead of backing down, trump is tripling down. bill mattingly is live at trump tower. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, brooke. donald trump has had ample opportunity to walk back the comments. this morning on fox, had another opportunity to do so. decided not to. that's despite republicans both publicly and, sources say privately, asking him to do just that. there's a reality with donald trump's candidacy. republican also have to answer for every one of his statements until november. donald trump now musing that a hypothetical muslim judge might not remain neutral if presiding over the case against trump university. >> if it was a muslim judge do you feel that they wouldn't be able to treat you fairly because of that policy of yours? >> it's possible, yes. that would be possible. >> reporter: and doubling down on his attacks against the mexican-american judge he says should be disqualified from the trial. >> if you're saying he can't do his job because of his race, is that not the definition of racism? >> he's proud of his heritage. i'm building a wall. he's a mexican. >> you're invoking his race when talking about whether or not he can do his job. >> jack, i'm building a wall, okay? i'm building a wall. >> reporter: increasingly raising sharp concerns inside the republican party. >> this is one of the worst mistakes trump has made. it's inexcusable. this judge is not mexican. this judge is an american citizen. >> reporter: interviews with a series of top gop officials, donors, fund-raisers and congression aides, maybing clear trump has cross aid major line. >> completely disagree with the thinking behind that. >> i don't condone the comments and we can press on to another topic. >> do you think it's a racist statement? >> i don't agree with what he had to say. this is a man born nindiana. >> reporter: a line of attack republicans fear could endanger their majority in the senate, and threaten the future of the party. something senator mcconnell hinted at in an interview with cnn's jake tapper last week. >> do you worry at all your nominee now, donald trump, will do to latino voters what barry goldwater did to african-american voters? >> i do. i do. >> and, chris, the reality is, donald trump hasn't backed down from anything over the course of his campaign. the expectation that he would do so now seems slightly misguided republican officials say now. and those officials looking for or wanting a third party option, they'll be disappointed that david french, former iraq war veteran, decided in a national review column last night that he will not choose an independent bid for president. chris, for republicans who want another option, looks like they're, aat least up to this point, out of luck. >> at least he doesn't have to worry about another candidate right now. we have heard about another change in trump's policies, this one involving libya. suzanne malveaux, how do we understand this now? >> last september trump was widely criticized for his lack of knowledge regarding basics of international affairs. now, after a few foreign policy speeches, countless interviews, he's revealing what he believes the u.s. role should be around the world. like many of his positions, it's constantly changing. >> i was never for a strong intervention. i could have seen surgical where you take out gadhafi and his group. >> reporter: reversing his position on u.s. military intervention in libya, saying he would have authorized targeted strikes to oust moammar gadhafi. >> surgical strike and take him out. >> reporter: his comments sunday contradict those he has made throughout the primary season, insisting libya would be better off with gadhafi still in power. at a republican debate in february. >> we would be so much better off if gadhafi were in charge right now. >> reporter: to cnn's jake tapper in october. >> the world would be better off with saddam hussein?

>> including with nukes, yes. >> reporter: he staunchly maintained he opposed the war in iraq before it began. >> i was totally against the war in iraq. very proudly saying for many years it would destabilize the middle east. >> reporter: a claim that contradict this is position he took back in 2002. >> are you for invading iraq? >> yeah, i guess so. you know, i wish it was -- i wish the first time it was done correctly. >> reporter: what makes trump's contradiction over libya so stunning, one of his main criticisms of hillary clinton, going after gadhafi, benghazi. now they see it as a real opportunity to make the case that he doesn't have the steadiness needed to be commander in chief. brooke?

>> i think he should recuse himself. >> what an exchange that was. donald trump in the hot seat from democrats and republicans alike, for continuing to attack a mechanics an-american judge many are flat out calling racist, what mr. trump has been saying, that u.s. district judge was born in indiana, but now serving the great state of california. joining me now, governor davis, who fully supports hillary clinton. good morning. >> good morning, brooke. how are you? >> i'm wonderful. but this is about you this morning. just coming out of that sound bite, trump continues to triple down on how he feels about this judge in your state. and trump is calling on him to recuse himself. do you think he should? >> no, i do not. this judge, as you said, was born in indiana. he is an example of the american dream. the son of immigrant parents, now a federal judge. he is has done absolutely nothi wrong to disqualify him. if there's a conflict in this case it's not of the judge's making but donald trump's making. he runs around at rallies talking about how buy as this judge is. do you know why he is doing that? he would rather have us talk about that than talk about all the bus and fraud that went on at trump university. >> i'm sure the clinton camp is enjoying trump doing this talking instead of their own campaign. although she's using some of it in his own words in ads. secretary of state releasing this final report of voter registration, growing by 56,000 in the final weeks of registration, three out of every four voter a democrat. do you think those dems specifically will translate into hillary dems or perhaps the bernie or bust category? >> i believe hillary will win california. >> you do? >> she will be the next nominee and president of the united states. she has less than 30 votes to get tuesday night. she will be the nominee before california. i know she wants to win california. i saw her in l.a. recently. she's campaigning well. there's a lot of enthusiasm. she wants this to be the exclamation point, if you will, and going to the poll with momentum. >> senator sanders is not ready for the exclamation point but the dot, dot, dot at this point. he's pointing out the super delegates, of course, you could get pledged after tomorrow night. how much of a -- you know, he is pledging to stay through philadelphia. how much of a thorn in hillary clinton campaign's side will that be if he follows through with his promise that he goes all the way to philadelphia and they can't pivot to trump until november? >> i'm sure he has exceeded his own expectations, brought back alienated voters, expanded the democratic base and, in the process, made hillary a better candidate. he has said all along the last thing he wants to see is donald trump as president. after the primary votes are counted i know he will do the right thing and begin to bring this party back together so it's strong and united. >> governor, you know if and when history is made this week and if hillary clinton does clinch that number she will need all those democrats who have been energized by this revolution that is the bernie sanders' campaign. over the weekend, bill clinton was out and was heckled by some sanders' supporters. his response to them was if i were them, i would be screaming, too, because they know they will be toast by election day. is toast the right word? >> i have great admiration for president clinton. thought he did a fantastic job. we've all been in campaigns. i remember being on the other side of hillary's campaign when she lost to then senator obama. we didn't feel good about it. we all came around and very proud of the work that president obama did. i'm confident the same thing will happen again this time. you don't want to sit on your hands, stay home. you're casting a vote for donald trump basically. sanders and his followers know that. let him run out of the rest of his race. i have no doubt he wants to stand side by side hillary at the convention and campaign with her in the fall and influence policy going forward. >> final question, governor. obviously, b obviously, in the media, we would look to ask questions of the woman who would be president. she has not held press conferences. why is she not speaking out more? >> i'm not the campaign spokesman. >> don't you think it would help her? >> she's doing great. fantastic speech last week. it was a phenomenal speech, using donald trump's words against him. a lot at stake here, brooke. this is like a reality tv show. give donald trump his credit. he can change the subject like nobody on the planet earth. he didn't want to talk about ted cruz, he would raise the question of his maybe not being able to vote because he was born in canada. larry tribe of harvard was talking about that. this man will not be easy to beat. i'm confident she will win and run a strong campaign. >> governor davis, thank you so much. we'll be watching california come tomorrow. mark cuban has a bit of that trump factor going on. big businessman, big public persona. he says trump would be a puppet president. why does the entrepreneur and reality tv star want to be his vp? we're going to ask him when he joins us, ahead. lutely our favorite time together. i do notice that sometimes i eat better than her. i get my healthy bowl of beneful, and she eats a cheese stick and a cracker. that's what she ate last night. cheese stick and a cracker. can you believe what some people put in their bodies?

(announcer vo) it's what makes a subaru, a subaru. ♪ i want to be a millionaire so freakin' bad but all the things i never had ♪ >> one of those online lip sync things go iing on. funny unless you're donald trump. mark cuban is teasing trump about that video created for your pleasure. one of the latest disses. despite all of this, cuban says he is open to being vice president for either party. hitting him with one hand, hugging him with the other, cuban. that's what you're doing. >> somebody has to do it. >> do you believe that donald trump is a billionaire? >> you know, i think if it all came down to it, yes, because the price of new york real estate has just sky rocketed over the last five years. you know, assuming he hasn't had to keep on borrowing because he has had liquidity issues then, yeah, i would give him credit for being a billionaire. is he worth 10 billion? no. >> do you believe he's not turning over his taxes because he's being audited? >> of course not. look, i know what my taxes look like. and the honest answer is i don't even know how much i pay in terms of income tax percentage. i don't know how much i've made in any of the last ten years. when it's time to turn in my taxes, my accountant sets up a table with 50 different stacks and i run through and it takes me 45 minutes to sign them. and i sign the signature page. knowing donald, he knows what's on them. but they're not really going to be indicative of all that much. i don't care about seeing his tax returns, honestly. >> if you don't care and that's the way the process works, why don't you believe what trump is saying, which is, i'm being audited. my lawyers say don't show what's being audited so i'm not showing it. >> that's nonsense. there's nothing to preclude you from showing your taxes. if he's like me, he gets audited every year. the process is the same. it won't change the outcome of anything. >> trump says he gets audited every year perhaps because he is such a strong christian. do you believe the same is true of you, cuban? >> no! no. i get audited every year because i have a lot of money and presumably, so does he. if he work for the irs and want to bring more money into the treasury, you go where the money's at. there's no reflection one way or the other. >> what's wrong with donald trump paying the lowest possible tax rate? if he can figure it out, no tax at all? >> nothing. nothing at all. you know, look, it's not so much the tax rate he pays but the perspective you have on taxes. as long as you play within the rules, play within the rules. at some point you have to recognize that we get a lot of advantages in this country. he and i have both been incredibly blessed to have our opportunities in this country. and if you ask me, after military service, the most patriotic thing you can do is pay your tacks. so, look, when the mavs won a championship i paid for the parade, literally have written checks to the city of dallas. mavs are building a new practice facility. i haven't asked and i won't ask for a pen fri the city. i have gotten a lot from this country and feel like i owe back something. that's not his feeling and that's his choice. >> what do you think about him saying the judge of mexican descent would be biased against him and the same would be true of a muslim judge? >> it's sad. particularly the position he's in right now, it's more a reflection on donald. the reality is the lawsuits with trump university go back long before donald decided to run for president. it's a hail mary on donald's part. he knows he's wrong. it's a sad reflection on him. >> the judge continued the case, which is allowing trump to campaign right now free from any of the stickiness of dealing with open and ongoing litigation. puppet president. what does that mean, mr. cuban? >> well, mr. cuomo, i will tell you what it means. in order to be an effective leader, in order to define a vision and explain how you're going to accomplish that vision, you have to understand the issues. you have to dig deep and have a solid understanding of everything that you can touch, really, everything that's important. donald really hasn't made that effort. if you look back over the last ten months, you don't say, look, he has really started to show an in-depth grasp, nuanced grasp of all the issues. it's the exact opposite. he tries to make headlines without any type of deep policy guides. if you don't have in-depth knowledge of the policies and the reasons they may or may not work, you'll have to listen to other people, you'll have to be guided by others in everything. and so because of that, he will be a puppet president. whoever is closest to him is going to have a whole lot more impact on this country than probably donald will and what donald's expectations or desires are. >> is that why you want to be his vp, as some kind of sneaky play to have the full seat of power? >> no, it's not a sneaky play on my part. if it were a sneaky play, oop not being very sneaky, am i? i'm a big believer that the greatest partnerships, the best partnerships aren't with people who, you know, think exactly the same. you want to have some variance in skill sets. in my business career, all my best partners, all my biggest wins have come with partners who are the exact opposite. that compliments my skill set. donald doesn't send e-mails or have a clue about tech. there's a lot of benefit there is. i'm an independent. i can discuss things with both sides of the aisle. there's no sneakiness about it. i think i would compliment his skill set very well. >> a strong case provided by mark koob cuban on "new day" to vice president. thank you for taking the time to be on. you're always welcome, sir. >> thank you, chris. >> drag him in every monday morning. quite entertaining to watch. this season of tnt drama "the last ship" premieres this weekend. mr. eric dane is in studio to join us on "new day" to give us a preview. spoil alert. the chinese ordered the cure to the virus mutating. >> if you're implying -- >> i'm a military man, mr. president. i don't imply. >> "the last ship," centering around the catastrophic virus that nearly kills off the world's population. yikes. the show returns with a third season this sunday with a two-hour premiere. eric dane who plays commander tom chandler. so much to meet you. >> likewise. >> can you give me a little preview as we jump into season three?
