[Harlow:] Former presidential candidate Bernie Sanders is standing up for his former rival. He told our Jake Tapper on CNN "STATE OF THE UNION" earlier today, responding to a leaked audio recording from February where Hillary Clinton spoke about some of his own policy proposals. Here's what Sanders said.
[Clinton:] There's a deep desire to believe that, you know, we can have free college, free health care, it's false promise. But I don't think you tell idealistic people, particularly young people that they've bought into a false promise. His ideas are indefensible.
[Jake Tapper, Host, Cnn's State Of The Union:] What was your reaction when you heard that, calling your ideas indefensible, saying that you were selling them false promises?
[Sen. Bernie Sanders , Vermont:] Well, two things. If you listen to the whole discussion that she had, a very important point that she made is that a lot of young people who went into debt, worked very lard to get a good education, get out of school and can't find jobs commensurate with the education that they receive. And there's a lot of unhappiness about young people and this is an issue that we must address. But the bottom line here is that I think that what Secretary Clinton and I have done since the election, since the primary nominating process, we have worked together in a number of areas. Secretary Clinton has worked with me to make certain that public colleges and universities become tuition free for all families earning 125,000 or less, that we double funding for community health centers, which means that we'll have access to primary care for millions more Americans and, by the way, apropos to Donald Trump not paying any taxes, she has come up with a state tax proposal which will ask the very wealthiest people in this country
[Tapper:] Yes.
[Sanders:] wealthiest families in this country to start paying their fair share.
[Tapper:] I get that, Senator, but she's calling other ideas you pitched, not the ones you two are working on tighter. But she called other ones false promises and said that what you were doing was indefensible. That must bother you.
[Sanders:] Well, look, we were of course, it does. But we're in a middle of a campaign and I trust me, if you go to some of the statements that I made about Hillary Clinton, you could see real differences.
[Harlow:] Bernie Sanders with Tapper there. Coming up next, "The New York Times" saying that Trump's tax documents were mailed to them anonymously, but they did say that they had a return address of Trump Tower. Of course, someone could have just written that it. We don't know. But you'll hear next from the reporter who got those records in her mailbox one day.
