Bernie Sanders on campaign contributions (121,000 views)

Sanders: "I have never heard a candidate, never, who's received huge amounts of money from oil, from coal, from Wall Street, from the military industrial complex, not one candidate, go, 'Oh, these-- these campaign contributions will not influence me. I'm gonna be independent.' Now, why do they make millions of dollars of campaign contributions? They expect to get something. Everybody knows that."

Hillary Clinton on helping rebuild Wall Street after 9/11 (111,000 views)

Clinton: "I represented New York. And I represented New York on 9/11 when we were attacked. Where were we attacked? We were attacked in downtown Manhattan where Wall Street is. I did spend a whole lot of time and effort helping them rebuild. That was good for New York. It was good for the economy. And it was a way to rebuke the terrorists who had attacked our country."

Candidates on the Paris attacks (21,000 views)

Sanders: "Well, John, let me concur with you and with all Americans who are shocked and disgusted by what we saw in Paris yesterday. Together, leading the world this country will rid our planet of this barbarous organization called ISIS."

Clinton: "Well, our prayers are with the people of France tonight. But that is not enough. We need to have a resolve that will bring the world together to root out the kind of radical jihadist ideology that motivates organizations like ISIS, the barbaric, ruthless, violence jihadist, terrorist group."

O'Malley: "My heart, like all of us in this room, John, and all the people across our country-- my hearts go out to the people of France in this moment of loss, parents and-- and-- and sons and daughters and family members. And-- as our hearts go out and as our prayers go out to them we must remember this, that this isn't a new face of conflict and warfare, not in the 20th century but the new face of conflict of warfare in the 21st century. And there is no nation on the planet better able to adapt to this change than our nation."

Candidates spar on the economy (20,000 views)

Excerpts:

Clinton: "Well, we're gonna have to redo the way the prescription drug industry does business. For example, it is outrageous that we don't have an opportunity for Medicare to negotiate for lower prices. In fact, American consumers pay the highest prices in the world for drugs that we helped to be developed through the National Institutes of Health and that we then tested through the FDA. So there's more to my plan than just the cap. We have to go after price gouging and monopolistic practices and get Medicare the authority to negotiate."

O'Malley: "I believe that we paid for many of the things that we need to do again as a nation, investing in the skills of our people, our infrastructure and research and development and also climate change by the elimination of one big entitlement that we can no longer afford as a people. And that is the entitlement that many of our super wealthiest citizens feel they are entitled to pay, namely a much lower income tax rate and a lower tax rate on capital gains. I believe capital gains for the most part should be taxed the same way we tax incomes from hard work, sweat and toil. And if we do those things we can be a country that actually can afford debt-free college again.

Sanders: "I do believe there must be a tax on Wall Street speculation. We bailed out Wall Street. It is their time to bail out the middle class. Help our kids be able to go to college tuition free. So we pay for this by do demanding that the wealthiest people and the largest corporation who have gotten away with murder for years start paying their fair share."

Cordes: "Well, let's get specific, how high would you go? You said before you'd go above 50%. How high?"

Sanders: "We haven't come up with an exact number yet. But it will not be as high as the number under Dwight D. Eisenhower which was 90 percent. I'm not a socialist compared to Eisenhower."

Candidates discuss their domestic policy agendas (20,000 views)

Excerpts:

Sanders: "Let me say this. You know, no public policy doesn't have in some cases negative consequences. But at the end of the day what you have right now are millions of Americans working two or three jobs because that wages that they are earning are just too low. Real inflation accounted for wages has declined precipitously over the years. So I believe that in fact this country needs to move toward a living wage...I believe that over the next few years, not tomorrow, that over the next few years we have got to move the minimum wage to a living wage $15.00 bucks an hour. And I apologize to nobody."

O'Malley: "$10.10 was all I could get the state to do by the time I left in my last year. But two of our counties actually went to $12.80. And their county executives if they were here tonight would also tell you that it works. The fact of the matter is the more our people earn the more money they spend and the more our whole economy grows."

Sanders: "This is not an esoteric argument. And you're seeing cities like Seattle, you're seeing cities like San Francisco, cities like Los Angeles doing it. And they are doing it well and workers are able to have more disposable income."

Clinton: "[W]hat Alan Krueger said in the piece you're referring to is that if we went to $15.00 there are no international comparisons. That is why I support a $12.00 national federal minimum wage. That is what the Democrats in the Senate have put forward as a proposal. But I do believe that is a minimum. And places like Seattle, like Los Angeles, like New York City, they can go higher. It's what happened in Governor O'Malley's state. There was a minimum wage at the state level. And some places went higher. I think that is the smartest way to be able to move forward because if you go to $12.00 it would be the highest historical average we've ever had."

O'Malley: "Oh, come on now. Yeah, but, yes, it should always be going up. I mean, it --With all due respect to Secretary Clinton -"

Clinton: "You would expect a median wage. Of course you would do the trial. And you would index it. But I-- I think--

O'Malley: "I think we need to stop taking our advice from economists on Wall Street."

Clinton: "He's not on Wall Street."
