Send us a tweet at cspanwj. Join us on facebook, facebook. Com cspan. We are also taking your emails, journal cspan. Org. That photograph of president obama and cuban president rowaul castro. Next of that, clinton ways how to recast tied to obama. We will get your opinion on all of this. First, david freelancer who is following all of this from the daily be. Thanks for being with us. Lets talk about this rollout which is beeing called slow and loki. No events scheduled for today. What can we expect . Guest i think we will see an announcement on social media. Its funny, i think most candidates have a big flashy announcement and want to get a lot of attention, press attention, blasted out to as many voters as they can. Clinton seems to want to minimize the attention that she will get. Part of that is because there is so much interest already in her campaign. There is kind of a logistical problem of figuring out what to do with all the present want to follow her. As reports show, as best we know, she is actually going to jet out quietly to iowa, and probably New Hampshire, and maybe some other primary states to meet with voters oneonone in small groups. Host in a way, this is reminiscent of how she announced her senate bid in 1999 as first lady, when she had what she called a listening tour. Is there a downside to not having that major speech . Why she wants to be president outlining what she would achieve is she were elected to the white house. Guest i think im sure they will do that. I think they will get at that in the video. That is a good question. That is sort of one major unknown about Hillary Clinton at this point, the question as to why she wants to be president whats her agenda, whats the narrative. I think you will get to that. For now, they want to show her as they showed her in 1999 someone who is not the face on the television that you are used to, but a real person, a warm person. Host let me ask you about two stories are available on your website, the daily beast, Hillary Clinton could not wait any longer, why now . Guest one reason is that she was getting blurred into the political process by the republicans. After years as secretary of state, sort of above the fray they were starting to take loads, and many were selfinflicted, the story about her emails but some of them are just because she was being attacked in the p press every day. A pol came out showing hillary beating republicans and republican leading states. I had ahead in texas, in louisiana. That, a poll came out showing her losing in swing states. I think they needed to change that story. Host 3. 6 million supporters on the ready for hillary website. Another story that you wrote a few days ago, her candidacy will launch what is called a quote insane fundraising push. Explain. Guest obviously, the first thing you have to do is raise money. Now, they are trying to downplay their fundraising expectations. Most democrats, most fundraisers think this will be at a campaign to dwarf all previous efforts. I think the times had it, it will be Something Like 2. 5 billion, which the clinton camp will disavow, but that number is at least floating out there. Host bottom line, which we will come out at noon, followed by a web video, then what is next in terms of when we will see her . Guest she will go off to iowa and New Hampshire. Im sure there will be feeble theyre trying to capture clips of her. Its hard to know. Youre right, she will have to do a rally, but as far as i know, no plans for that yet. Host his work is Available Online at thedailybeast. Com. Thanks so much for being with us this morning. We will get your call to comments on Hillary Clinton. The longawaited announcement, happening today. On our twitter page, there is this from bill, if hillary wins the nomination, i will support her, but might choice is warned or barry sanders. 202 7488000, democrats. 202 7488001, republicans. We also have a line for independence. Later in the program, we will introduce you to the chair of the Libertarian Party. On her facebook page, a lot of you already commenting as well. Jane says, remember benghazi. Laura says, oh, hell no. George says, she is the only candidate worth voting for, i hope some people get added to the field of candidates that create an actual race. You can share your thoughts as well at facebook. Com cspan. This is the first pag fronte page of new york host post. Lets go to our line for independence. Caller good morning. Im calling from florida. Im happy that she is going to announce. As a independent, i will deftly be voting for her. I see nobody on the republican side that i can support. I think hillary will be perfect when it comes to the small man. I think she will work hard, as she always has done, and especially for women. She will do well. Republicans keep talking about the Clinton Foundation accepting money. We dont, here in america, have enough money to pay for all of the war is going around the world. With the help that they are doing down in haiti, im very supportive of what the foundation does. Im glad that countries are donating to help them to help small people. Go hillary. Host melissa is next. Republican line, cincinnati. Caller i have a question for you. Has Hillary Clinton ever been on cspan . She has never been out in public. She is so prepackaged, it is ridiculous. She thinks she is better than everyone else. Also, she is a grandma. I thought she would be a great grandma by now. Hows two stupid does she think we are . She is going to help middle class. We are america, we do not have a middleclass, we are all americans. Democrats like to divide us into little groups. Host we mr. Last point. Caller my last point is how she ever been on cspan . She has been in politics for 100 years. Host she has been on the network certainly in events that we have covered. Wellwe have conducted interviews with her. She has not been on taking calls. Her husband was when he was governor of arkansas. Of course, she is always welcome. Thank you for your call. We will go to carol next from ohio on the democrats line. Caller good morning. I will be glad to vote for Hillary Clinton. I voted for her in the primaries, and i will vote for her in the election if she wins the primary. This last republican said that we were crazy for doing this. She doesnt know what is going on in th this world at all. I think that is the problem with republicans. They are so set in their ways and so against everyone, they dont know what is going on in the United States of america. Thank you. Host on her twitter page another viewer with this comment saying, Hillary Clinton cannot run away from her own record. Politico with this headline no drama this time. Just a head of her entry into the race today, during an hour long meeting, the person who serves as the Campaign Manager released a statement on which the Campaign Goals will be based on. The memo can be seen as an attempt to set the campaign off on the right note. Last time, her operation was crippled by infighting and disagreement between the top aides. Weird being joined by we are being joined by a caller from the u. S. Virgin islands. Caller im not excited about this announcement. I think the caller got it right when she talked about benghazi. For me, it is also about her inability to be straightforward on the issue of the mouse. She is not someone that i would vote for or support if i could vote for someone running for top office. Im not excited about the enough there. Host thank you for the call. David has this point on her facebook page, facebook. Com cspan. I support her 100 , all in, she is the only one who can destroy us. Dori says, dont care, benghazi. Marco says, then to herventura 2016. Welcome to the program. Caller good morning. I think Hillary Clinton will probably wind because the American People apparently are not interested in the truth and the standards of the people who vote democrat are so low that i dont know why there is an election. All we have to do is wait for the democrats been and it overruns the truth that the republicans are trying to put out. My advice to the republicans would be to lie and spain as do the democrats. Hillary clinton told the families of the benghazi victims that their loved ones were killed because of a video, when she knew that it was on a video. She has erased her emails. Americans dont care about that. The American Standard is so low now. Its a joke. Its a complete joke. Republicans need to know that americans are interested in the truth, and go out there and lines then as good as the democrats. Host john in North Carolina says that hillarys the clis will make for a bloody primate massacre. This is the other major story of the weekend, on the front page of Washington Post historic meeting of castro and obama. Inside Washington Post is the story in havana, old habits are hard to die. The summit will be remembered as the and points out that the regions leaders cheered, but a look different, in advance leaving out, there were reminders that reconciliation between cubans will take much longer. Castro spoke warmly of obama and showed a willingness, but cubans went to lengths to stifle opposition to the cuba. Olivia is joining us. Democrats line. Caller good morning, steve. I would like to make a few points. As far as benghazi bring out the violins, we are sick and tired of it. Look, doesnt rick perry have an investigation going on in texas about him. Yes, to the lady who called from tennessee, when you made a statement about hillarys jenna ta gentileity, or whatever, we are ready for a woman president. We are sick of it. Republicans lied to the gentleman that call then talking about democrats spin to analyze. We have lies and spends going on all the time in politics. We will not allow hillary, as it female, to be demonized. Host on the front page of New York Times, the relationship between clinton and obama. Calculating the risk. The piece points out that for months, clinton and her aides have been pouring over obamas ratings. How can she run for president as her own person without criticizing the sitting president she served . Aligning herself to closely with mr. Obama is fraught with risk for this clinton. Republicans are betting that the attacks based on the incumbents record will be affe effective against mrs. Clinton. Stuart stevens who was a top strategist for mitt romney in 2012 saying that thats the inker shall be dragging for the next couple of years. Donna is next in new york city. Independent line. Donna, good morning. Caller good morning. Im not from new york city. Hello . Yes, im not from new york city. This is kentucky. Host ok. Go ahead. Caller im a democrat, but i will not be voting for hillary. Because i live in kentucky, my vote will not count in electing the president. I will vote for rand paul. I see Henry Clinton as a very dishonest person. Furthermore, she does not care about black women. She sees black women as subservient. Host by the way, rand paul will be appearing on three of the sunday programs, including meet the press. You can listen to all of the sunday programs on cspan radio. This is rick from pennsylvania. Good morning. Caller good morning. I love cspan. I just wanted to make a comment about hillary. Eating a republican, i looked out her and said, boy, is it bill clinton all over again . Will we have hearings and trials . Will it be the same thing all over again . I think she is a very smart woman. She is a little conniving. My dad, he was a staunch democrat. He would say, where is the opposition . Why cant we vote for someone else . Why cant we have john kerry or elizabeth warnedren . It is almost like cuba or voting for the dom. I dont see what the choices are. It is her and no one else is allowed to run. Host there could be other candidates including Martin Omalley and former senators jim webb likely potential candidates, were in iowa over the weekend. Coverage is available on her website, cspan. Org. Meanwhile, from bloomberg politics, another reference to president obama departing from cuba on the eve of Hillary Clintons announcement president obama saying that she would be an excellent successor. She was a formidable candidate in 2008, at an outstanding secretary of state and my friend, i think she would be an excellent president. Next is mark from philadelphia. Good morning. Caller good morning, steve. I just want to say, as a democrat, im all for hillary. I want to say to the republicans, if youre going to bring up the stuff about hillary being deceitful and lying, hey, how about george w. Bush . We can stop the republicans in their tracks on this line. It will not work. How many people have died in iraq because of george w. Bushs lies, and throw dick cheney in there too. That is all we have to counter for these republicans. Host james has this point steve, are you going to entertain the ridiculous idea of a hillary presidency on this esteemed program . Next, being joined from sacramento, california. Caller i am a supporter of Hillary Clinton. As a matter fact, i wish that Bernie Sanders and elizabeth warnedren when joined the race. As far as these people [indiscernible] they forget about george bush and going into iraq. As a result, we are still hanging around, look at the mess created by him and dick cheney and all of their cohort. Host thanks for the call. Hillary can be be, that is the story from nationaljournal. Com. I would democrats want to feel that they have a choice, in nearly three dozen interviews, writes the journal. Caucusgoers begin almost unanimously for a contested tenmonth campaign. Spirited debate on how to move the country forward on wage stagnation and other issues. They dont want clinton to forget the mistakes of 2008. Bill is joining us next from bloomington, indiana. Democrat line. Caller personally, i dont want to see any more clintons or bushes. What i think would make energy stingrays, although i dont think we will ever see it, i would like to see Carly Fiorina on the one side and Elizabeth Warren on the other side. Thats all i have to say. Host donna is up next year good morning. From st. Louis. Caller good morning. A couple of comments. First, hillary is a democrat that has the best chance to win against any republican. The reason she needs to win is because whatever republican gets in there will try to repeal obama care. Millions of hardworking middleclass people couldnt afford health care otherwise now have some peace of mind. I know a few. Secondly since high wage jobs were sent over to china in 2006 when republicans controlled everything, millions of americans now can afford to buy Health Insurance. I really do think she is the best bet this time. I didnt last time, but i do this time. Host thank you for the call. One of our most frequent tweeters says, we will finally learn which makes the gop crazier, obama or hillary . 202 7488001 for republicans. 202 7488000, democrats. From cq weekly, a cash injection. From Time Magazine out last thursday, lack lives matter. Funeral services took place yesterday for walter scott. And, the weekly standard, april 1860 5, 1 of the most important months in history. By the way on tuesday evening we will have live coverage of a reenactment that will be taking place outside of fords theater to remember what happened 150 years ago following the assassination of our 16 president. Hillary clinton was keynote speaker, here is what she had to say about women, politics and a woman in the white house. [video clip] mrs. Clinton when i look around the room icy leaders. My hope is that whatever you have done, if you were in the basement, or you just discovered emilys list and are a first time member, that you will redouble your efforts in the next months.
