Bernie Sanders: "Do I need more outreach with the Latino and African-American community? Absolutely!"
Democratic presidential contender Bernie Sanders appeared on "All In with Chris Hayes" on Tuesday to discuss the issues he believes next week's Democratic debate will focus on -- including gun control in the wake of the Umpqua Community College mass-shooting and his ability to reach minority voters.
"Hillary Clinton and I disagree on a lot of issues," Sanders said. "We disagree on Wall Street and what we should do, whether or not we bring back Glass-Steagall or break up the large banks. We disagree about how high the minimum wage should go, I think it should go to 15 bucks an hour. We disagree about our college plans, I believe she hasn't come up with an opinion yet."
Sanders also spoke at length about his support for gun control, noting that "I come from a state that has virtually no gun control at all. Yet, I’ve cast some very, very difficult votes in favor of strong gun control. I mean, you're looking at a guy who was a Congressman who voted for strong background checks, instant background checks -- I want to see them made even stronger."
However, he also proffered, unprompted, the preferred argument of anti-gun control conservatives, noting that "in my view we need a revolution in mental health in this country. I believe you have thousands of people walking the streets of America today who are suicidal, who are homicidal."
Hayes asked Sanders how well he believed was doing "building the multiracial coalition that is necessary to succeed in a Democratic primary past Iowa and New Hampshire," to which the Vermont senator replied that although he's now considered "a serious candidate," his campaign does "need to do more outreach to the Latino and African-American community."
"One of the things that we are going to be able to do," he explained, "because 650,000 people, a record-breaking number, have contributed to our campaign, is we are going to have the resources to develop a strong organization in South Carolina, Nevada, and the states that follow."
Sanders added that he has "a strong record of standing up for African-American community -- but more importantly, we have an economic agenda, a social justice agenda, a criminal justice agenda which I think will make sense to the African-American community once they hear it."

The families of the Ukrainian sailors held prisoner by Russia have appealed to the Queen to intervene with Vladimir Putin to help free their loved ones in time for Christmas.
Russian forces rammed, fired on, and captured three Ukrainian vessels in international waters on November 25, to international condemnation.
The 24 sailors captured by Russia in the naval clash are currently being held in prison in Moscow - where they are expected to face trial next month.
In a letter to Her Majesty, the distraught relatives asked the Queen to use her “reputation and influence” to shame the Russian president into freeing the men.
“Madam, we ask your help and support in seeking the release of our sons, husbands and fathers from Russian captivity,” the letter reads.
“We simply all sincerely hope that your reputation and humanitarian influence will he heard and our loved ones will return safe and sound.
The letter, which was written in English, was presented to Judith Gough, the British Ambassador to Ukraine, at the sailors’ home port of Odessa on Friday.
It will be sent on to Buckingham Palace via the Foreign and Commonwealth Office.
Gavin Williamson, the Secretary of State for Defence, called on Russia to release the sailors.
“The seizure of these vessel wasn’t in the Sea of Azov it was in the Black Sea - this is international waters,” he said after a meeting with the families in Odessa in which he handed teddy bears to the children of the families.
Mr Williamson was in Odessa to visit HMS Echo, a Royal Navy survey ship that arrived in the Ukrainian port on Wednesday.
The warship, armed with 20 millimetre cannon and miniguns, is the first NATO vessel to visit Ukraine since the incident and was ordered into the Black Sea last week in demonstration of strength.
Petro Poroshenko, Ukraine's president, had asked NATO to deploy ships to the Sea of Azov to “provide security”.
Ukraine is not a NATO member. In 2014, Russia annexed Crimea partly in response to the country's efforts to join the transatlantic military alliance, kick-starting a war that has so far claimed 10,000 lives.
“It is terrible knowing that my son was wounded but not knowing the nature of the injury. Russia keeps changing its story about his condition.
On Friday, a Russian warship was seen heading towards the Azov Sea from Crimea, according to Reuters.
A spokesperson for the Russian Foreign Ministry earlier denied any military build-up.
“Russia is not increasing its military presence in the Sea of Azov,” said Maria Zakharova, adding that the forces in the region were only there to guard against Ukrainian aggression.
Microsoft filed its annual report Wednesday, and among the many pages of documents and numbers are insights on what the company sees as its core vision, and that appears to be changing.
As first spotted by CNBC, Microsoft has inserted artificial intelligence into its vision for the first time, and removed references to a “mobile-first” world. That fits with Microsoft’s recent push into AI and retreat from the smartphone market.
“We believe a new technology paradigm is emerging that manifests itself through an intelligent cloud and an intelligent edge where computing is more distributed, AI drives insights and acts on the user’s behalf, and user experiences span devices with a user’s available data and information,” according to Microsoft’s vision statement.
Microsoft last year formed a new 5,000-person engineering and research team to focus on its artificial intelligence products — a major reshaping of the company’s internal structure reminiscent of its massive pivot to pursue the opportunity of the Internet in the mid-1990s.
Just last month the company made a series of AI announcements, including a new iPhone app that describes the world for the visually impaired, an AI “research and incubation hub” inside Microsoft Research, a new “Ethical Design Guide for AI” and an initiative called AI for Earth to encourage the use of artificial intelligence for environmental solutions.
Microsoft is a technology company whose mission is to empower every person and every organization on the planet to achieve more. We strive to create local opportunity, growth, and impact in every country around the world. Our strategy is to build best-in-class platforms and productivity services for an intelligent cloud and an intelligent edge infused with artificial intelligence (“AI”).
The way individuals and organizations use and interact with technology continues to evolve. A person’s experience with technology increasingly spans a multitude of devices and becomes more natural and multi-sensory with voice, ink, and gaze interactions. We believe a new technology paradigm is emerging that manifests itself through an intelligent cloud and an intelligent edge where computing is more distributed, AI drives insights and acts on the user’s behalf, and user experiences span devices with a user’s available data and information. We continue to transform our business to lead this new era of digital transformation and enable our customers and partners to thrive in this evolving world.

The mobile-first, cloud-first world is transforming the way individuals and organizations use and interact with technology. Mobility is not focused on any one device; it is centered on the mobility of experiences that, in turn, are orchestrated by the cloud. Cloud computing and storage solutions provide people and enterprises with various capabilities to store and process their data in third-party datacenters. Mobility encompasses the rich collection of data, applications, and services that accompany our customers as they move from setting to setting in their lives. We are transforming our businesses to enable Microsoft to lead the direction of this digital transformation, and enable our customers and partners to thrive in this evolving world.
California’s insurance commissioner says preliminary estimates of losses from the state’s recent siege of wildfires exceed $1 billion and that the figure is expected to rise.
Commissioner Dave Jones told reporters in Los Angeles Thursday that the estimate comes from the eight largest insurers in the affected areas.
Authorities say nearly 7,000 homes and structures were destroyed in Northern California’s deadly wildfires.
That number also is expected to increase. A few dozen homes and other structures also recently burned in a Southern California fire.
The U.S. Housing and Urban Development agency announced Thursday it will speed federal disaster assistance to people affected by wildfires in Sonoma, Napa and other northern California counties.
The agency says it will grant a 90-day moratorium on foreclosures of Federal Housing Administration-backed mortgages, among other assistance. HUD says there are tens of thousands of FHA-insured homeowners affected by the fires.
HUD says it will also modify loans for borrowers having trouble making payments due to the wildfires.
Authorities say nearly 7,000 homes and structures were destroyed in Northern California’s deadly wildfires, and the number is expected to increase.
California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection spokesman Daniel Berlant said most destruction happened Oct. 8 and Oct. 9 when fires initially broke out in California’s famed wine counties of Sonoma and Napa plus neighboring areas.
More than 15,000 people remained evacuated on Thursday as crews reported progress containing the fires.
A wildfire that broke out Sonoma County is now the third deadliest fire in state history. It killed 22 of the 42 people who have died in the California’s October wildfires.
A 1933 Los Angeles fire that killed 29 people was the state’s deadliest.
A 1991 fire in Oakland, California, killed 25 people and was the second deadliest.
This version corrects the year of a Los Angeles fire that is the state’s deadliest. It occurred in 1933.
A wildfire that broke out south of the fires burning Northern California’s wine country has grown to more than 300 acres and the number of houses under threat has doubled to 300.
The fire burning in the Santa Cruz mountains started late Monday, sending smoke to the nearby college and beach town of Santa Cruz. It has destroyed four structures.
Seven firefighters have sustained minor injuries navigating rugged, steep terrain that has made ground fighting difficult. Two firefighters have minor burns, and one firefighter fractured his wrist after slipping down a steep ravine.
California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection spokesman Daniel Berlant says fire crews should fully contain by Friday the wildfire that devastated Santa Rosa.
California Gov. Jerry Brown has issued an executive order aimed at cutting red tape and fast-tracking recovery efforts in counties affected by wildfires that have burned for more than a week.
The executive order announced late Wednesday allows disrupted wineries to relocate tasting rooms and suspends state fees for mobile home parks and manufactured homes.
The order extends the state’s prohibition on price gouging during emergencies until April 2018 and expedites hiring of personnel for emergency and recovery operations.
Brown declared a state of emergency last week for affected counties and secured federal aid from the White House.
California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection spokesman Daniel Berlant also says fire crews should fully contain by Friday the wildfire that devastated Sonoma County and Santa Rosa.
Other large fires will take longer.
The wind-whipped fires that started Oct. 8 swept through parts of seven counties, becoming the deadliest and most destructive series of blazes in California history. At least 42 people were killed and thousands of homes were destroyed.
Cal Fire announced it had stopped the forward progress of those fires on Wednesday as tens of thousands of evacuees were let back into their neighborhoods.
Meanwhile, firefighters continue to battle a blaze further south in the Santa Cruz mountains that started Monday night.

The Yankees struggled with the combination of Joe Mauer, Justin Morneau and Carl Pavano.
Freddy Garcia made it further than his last start and did not throw any wild pitches. His problem was the combination of Joe Mauer, Justin Morneau and Carl Pavano.
All three played a key role in handing the Yankees a 7-3 loss against the Twins last night at the Stadium.
Mauer drove in the go-ahead run in the fifth inning, Morneau added a mammoth home run in the sixth and Pavano made the Yankee bats look impotent for most of the night.
Garcia allowed five runs and nine hits in 5 2/3 innings. But his night was a story of bad innings in the first and fifth. How he performed in between those frames allowed him to reach the sixth.
After throwing 30 pitches in a two-run, five-hit opening inning, Garcia cruised to the fifth by retiring 11 in a row with a one-run lead. He then lost the lead by allowing a go-ahead RBI double to Mauer.
Garcia’s outing marked the eighth time in 10 games the Yankees did not receive a quality start. Four of those have been by Garcia and Phil Hughes, who might be the early favorites to be replaced by Michael Pineda and Andy Pettitte in the upcoming weeks.
Mauer is 15-for-34 lifetime off Garcia and added to that figure with a double in the first. Morneau, who is 8-for-32 off Garcia, had an RBI double in the first and then a long solo home run to center field in the fifth as Minnesota won for just sixth time in 34 regular-season visits to Yankee Stadium since 2002.
While Morneau crushed Garcia’s first-pitch sinker, the Yankees hardly crushed anything thrown by Pavano. They scored their first two runs on consecutive solo home runs by Derek Jeter and Curtis Granderson. They were the first Yankees to open a game with back-to-back home runs since Sept. 23, 2005 against the Blue Jays.
Pavano then retired 19 of the final 22 hitters by using a combination of sinking fastballs, split-fingered fastballs and changeup.
The closest the Yankees came to anything resembling a threat occurred with one out in the sixth as Robinson Cano walked and Teixeira singled off Morneau’s glove at first. The threat never went further as Swisher struck out on a changeup and Ibanez grounded the same pitch to second base.
Management 360 partner and board member Peter Kiernan has exited to join his clients Channing Tatum and Reid Carolin as a partner in their newly renamed production company Free Association. Kiernan co-managed Tatum and Carolin with 360’s William Choi for more than a decade, joining the firm at its inception in 2002. He will now oversee day to day operations of Free Association, helping to extend the company’s entrepreneur roots — remember, Tatum and Steven Soderbergh self-financed Magic Mike, which landed both their biggest paydays to date and spawned a sequel and an in-the-works Broadway production that will net them even more loot.
Tatum, Carolin and the company will continue to be repped by Choi, Darin Friedman and others at Management 360. They also will continue to be repped by UTA and Hansen, Jacobson.
Tatum and Carolin have produced pics starting with 2012’s Magic Mike, which Carolin wrote and Channing starred in, and the Jump Street pics. Currently they have 22 Jump Street, the Tatum co-starrer which topped the box office in its debut two weeks ago and has passed $150 million worldwide already. Their slate includes an Evel Knieval biopic at Sony starring Tatum and written by Carolin; another Sony pic, Lodi, co-produced with Neil Meron and Craig Zadan, about a small-town Cadillac dealer and family man who goes undercover to take down a mob boss. At Warner Bros, Magic Mike 2 has a July 2015 release date, and the prod co is also adapting and producing the Jo Nesbo crime thriller The Son.
On the TV side, the company just signed a deal with MRC.
“We’re extraordinarily lucky to have the chance to partner with PK. He and Bill’s guidance, support, and taste have been integral to our journey over the past decade, and we couldn’t be more excited to watch Peter bring his invaluable skillset to producing,” said Tatum and Carolin.
An American flag was reported stolen from Veterans Memorial Bridge on East Winter Street Friday afternoon. The caller also told police they spotted two males walking away from the bridge and one reportedly had a flag. The flag and the flag pole were reportedly worth more than $65. An investigation is pending.
Maintenance staff at Grady Memorial Hospital contacted police to inform them of a theft Friday morning. Staff told police that someone went into a mechanical area of the building and stole copper piping valued at $4,600. An investigation is ongoing.
A person was sleeping in her car in Oak Grove Cemetery Saturday morning. Police contacted the woman and found she was in possession of drug paraphernalia. She was issued a summons for possession.
A pistol was stolen from a vehicle parked on Pennsylvania Avenue Sunday morning. The owner reported a Smith & Wesson Mp9F 9mm semi-automatic pistol and a brown leather case were stolen from the vehicle overnight. The combined valued of the items is $641.
OKLAHOMA CITY – If you have ever wanted to know an item’s value for a sale, insurance coverage or estate valuation, experts say it may be worth finding out.
Many people use local antique shops or collectible dealers to find out the value of old or unique items.
However, it is usually best to use a certified appraiser who is accredited and meets professional and ethical standards.
Experts say certified appraisers are more likely to give you a fair judgement.
Also, it is a violation of professional ethics for an appraiser to offer to buy an item that has just been appraised.
A professional appraiser will give you a written report of your item’s current value.
You can expect to pay a flat fee or an hourly rate, ranging from $200 to $400.
Avoid an appraiser who asks for a fee based on a percentage of the item’s value.
