life. that was a first. >> reporter: increasingly heated rhetoric between hillary clinton and bernie sanders coming to a boil here in brooklyn. >> does secretary clinton have the experience and the intelligence to be a president, of course, she does. but i do question -- but i do question her judgment. >> president obama trusted my judgment enough to be secretary of state for the united states. >> let's talk about judgment. and let us talk about the worst foreign policy blunder in the modern history of this country. >> reporter: with less than a to the polls, the rivals clashing on guns,

basic questions of judgment and qualifications in addition to policy and tone. rhetorical differences that have real policy ramifications and i think now given the dynamics of this race hillary clinton coming in with this big delegate lead and bernie sanders with the momentum. nothing is going to change sides in a big way. if anything this sets up another six weeks of harsh, intense campaigning. the delegate lead unlikely to be overcome. new york now setting itself up as critical for the remainder of these contests now the two circling each other with light barbs and friendly encounters setting up a very harsh ending to the campaign. bernie sanders making clear he expects to win the nomination threatening to take this fight all the way to the democratic national convention

votes. people don't talk about votes anymore. they talk delegates. by the way, i happen to be hundreds of delegates ahead too. >> we risk losing everything from the white house to the courthouse to the statehouse if we don't advance a positive, uplifting unifying message to that is what we need to do. >> if hillary clinton becomes the next president for four or eight more years, the people of new york know full well what comes from that. and so the question we have to ask collectively is how do we win? >> and there were hundreds of anti-trump protesters outside the hotel and some made their way inside and as such more than 30 people were arrested. later on "good morning america" we'll hear live from the chairman of the republican national committee. one of the volatile issues the next president will have to deal with is the provocative behavior of north korea. >> today really is a special day in the secretive communist country and one see vent marked the occasion and did not
