Transcripts For FBC The Intelligence Report With Trish Regan

Tonight she can all but stop Bernie Sanders. Plus in fox business exclusive, heidi cruz is here. My big interview with the republican senators wife, why critics are wrong about her husband and having small children on the campaign trail and what she would like to focus on as first lady. The threat to harm our economy if 9 11 lawsuits are permitted. In the face of such threats, why is our president still going on this trip . Why wont he release redacted 28 pages from the 9 11 report which may implicate the saudis in that horrific attack . New york representative peter king will join me. Donald trump says the nomination process is a rigged game. Does he have a point . Or is this really a bunch of sour grapes . Well ask trump spokesperson, katrina pierson. Donald trump hoping for a big win in his home state. If he gets more than 50 of the vote he will get the whole shebang, 95 delegates and keep the convention alive. Tomorrow were going to show ted cruz who hates new york, hates new york, when you look at that debate, the way he talked about us and new york values here is a man turned down sandy money for his this state and plenty of other money. We had lots of things coming into new york and he voted against. No new yorker can vote for ted cruz. Trish ted cruz not really in the running now, after panning new york values. Didnt help him much at all in new york state. He is campaigning in pennsylvania today, hosting the primary next tuesday. With their thoughts on todays vote, executive director of the new York Democratic party and basil smikel and conservative gina loudon. Do you think trump will lock this up . 95 delegates in his pocket. Does this set him on a better path towards the nomination which some are saying could be in doubt now . Trish, very exciting day in new york. I would be lying if i didnt say i were a little jealous youre there and im not. It is a big day for donald trump. Expectations are all on him. He has to perform today. He has to do extremely well. If he doesnt get all 95 he needs to get really close to that. Well be watching. Do you think he will do it, basil . I think he will because i dont, i think donald trump, the name recognition alone, the kind of message that he has up state, the particularly if the rust belt, parts of upstate new york i think message resonates. Trish why does it resonate here and not as much in places like wyoming . He would be considered a hometown person number one and number two i think upstate trish that could work for or against him. People have been around him for a while. Thats true. Trish he talks the way he talks. Cant afford to live in any of his housing. Thats true. Trish could work either way. Thats true. He will go upstate, he will give the same refrain around the country. The game is rigged. You have no way, no one tried to help you get into the middle class. When he talks to folks up state, syracuse, rochester, lost a lot of lobs to manufacturing, historically for some voters that will resonate. Democrats tried to come back, Chuck Schumer and Hillary Clinton in the schumer, tried to combat that narrative in upstate new york. But i think for people looking for that kind of energy from the republican side, Donald Trumps their guy. Trish mitt romney, who, lets face it is absolutely no fan of Donald Trumps, really went on a limb there getting a lot of criticism being typical establishment type when he tried to urge people not to vote for donald trump, here is what he is saying about the prospect of donald trump getting the nomination now. I think that depends on whether or not mr. Cruz and mr. Kasich both stay in the race aggressively through california. If theyre both going at it aggressively, right until the very end, then i think it is very likely that mr. Trump wins on first ballot. Trish in other words cruz and kasich, in romneys view, anyway, are wiping out chances of anyone other than trump as the nominee . You know, let me translate for just a moment. Those words from mitt romney, trish, are precisely how we know that the establishment is in the business of making both kasich and cruz spoilers in this race. Do not, i only see twoways that a smart man like ted cruz would be in this race at this point. One, he will have to sell his soul to the establishment. I dont know what he will trade. Im not pretending to know. There will have to be something and big and meaningful. Or only other way to allow himself to be used. I think he is too smart for that. Especially after new york and northeastern states, trish, im afraid ted cruz will be nipping at heels of kasich and no better than a spoiler. Trish why does case i can stay in . Any theories on that, basil . Number one, i think he believes, i guess, its right, Establishment Republicans he would be their person. You know his, my guess is his strategy to push donald trump to a place where he will not get number of delegates required and there will be a fight. Trish i look at that i question how anyone can win if it gets to that point. You have mcconnell and to your point, gina, establishment types, Mitch Mcconnell quoting im increasingly optimistic there may be a second ballot. He doesnt want 1237 going to donald trump. If our delegates have late tutude to make decision on second or third ballot will be interested in who can win. So, you know, this seems to be very much a movement, gina, towards getting that second or third ballot, i just question what that means for the party. I mean, my goodness, if youre the candidate that wins third time around, what happens to all of those voters who voted for trump or voted for cruz . Dont they feel like their vote sort of didnt mean anything because the establishment, so to speak is the one that comes in and picks the candidate in the end . Well, mcconnells statement, trish, of evidence of tone deafness of establishment to begin with. They honest to goodness do not realize, trish, they just cant exert their power and control because were all idiots again. I think really he believes that. Otherwise why would he be say anyway, except what most republicans want . He just doesnt get to say that anymore. I dont think that has occurred to him yet and i dont think it will occur at convention. Trish isnt that part of what is going on . There is this monumental shift now, a move in some ways towards more populist kind of tone. You have the establishment types have been pushing things like free trade, and you know, immigration, for example, and i mean, this was, this was a big platform of marco rubios, who wanted to bring more people to this country. While some of their goals may be noble in theory, reality, it hasnt worked out so well for your average republican. No. I think the point is really intesting, which is that who actually speaks for the republican populace right now . Is it anyone that actually is in power in the Republican Party in the senate . Is it Mitch Mcconnell . Is it an elected leader . I think what were seeing, to your point, saying this a long time. What about those voters that are saying we dont want to hear from any of those folks that are in power right now. We are speaking by other feet. Trish right. I think, we saw precourse source to this, gina, with the tea party movement. Sure. Trish now of course the, imagination that donald trump has captured of american voters. Very much i think as continuation of that. Were going to see you guys a little bit. Do not go anywhere, basil, gina. Battle between donald trump and Republican Party keeps raging on. Donald trump insists the nomination process is rigged system. Party insiders say the rules are the rules. You have to get to 1237. The rules are clear and they have been put out for about 160 years. The rules are clear. It is up to the states to set the rules and they have done it. So, you know, i think some, we need to move on from complaining about the rules i think. Trish meanwhile Donald Trumps Campaign Says that ted cruzs campaign is bribing delegates by giving them lunches, trips, hotel rooms. Is this really a rigged system . Or does ted cruz have a simply a better ground game . Joining me right now Trump National spokesperson, karina pierson. Welcome back. Hi, trish. Trish i know you think it is rigged. Donald trump thinks it is rigged, but is there any credit you can give ted cruz in terms of what he has been able to accomplish on the ground, do you look at that at all and say gee, we should have done that . No. Simply because mr. Trump wants to win because the people want him to represent them, not because of the bells and whistles he could provide to individuals. Mr. Trump is talking about the rigged system, he is specifically talking about the delegate process. The rnc would have you believe that the states have put in place a mechanism for grassroots, i use that term loosely in this case, for choosing these delegates and that is simply not the case. These are Party Operatives put in place by a system designed to prevent outsider candidates from being successful. The reason mr. Trump has been successful thus far, he is not your typical outsider politician. Trish talk about colorado for a moment. Im with you on colorado. I think that is extremely unfair. Why is donald trump just talking about colorado recently . Why wasnt that highlighted early on . Your critics and critics of him, katrina, the rules are just great as long as theyre working if his favor. As soon as theyre not, there is whole other ballgame that needs to be talking about. Had colorado gone for trump he would have no problem with that system. To what did you say to that . That is hindsight. We cant talk about a system that takes place until it actually takes place. That is what happened here. Again specifically with colorado, even if we had 1,000 paid staff on the ground in colorado, they had already decided who these delegates were going to be just like in indiana and just like in wyoming where you have a system where people get out and vote, donald trump tend to wind handily. These are the Backdoor Party rules were talking about now in the delegate selection process. For example in colorado, playing by the rules, trish, if your delegates are not even allowed on the system or on the ballot to be voted on to begin with. These are the type of things were seeing in that scenario. Trish katrina, what do you do here on out then . The system is the system, i dont think you are able or he will be able to get Reince Priebus changing system. Reince is quoted he wants to keep the system in place, you have to get to 1237. So can you get to 1237 and what happens if you dont . Yes, we do believe well get to 1237 and you beat the system. I think that is really important, why youve seen someone like Paul Manafort brought in to oversee the process. Now that we realize theyre not following the rules exactly. That is what will help us moving forward. You will see more money spent in state like california, for example, to sort of widen the margins, that will really help mr. Trump make his case. Trish it is important, the criticism all along that donald trump, you know, has all the personality in the world and all this charisma, and people get excited and vote for him but he is not following through with the sort of basic daytoday stuff that you have to do if youre running a campaign and, katrina, doesnt he owe it to his supporters now to work on those things . Well, yes. I think what youre seeing now the campaign expanding, not just to go ahead and lock up the nomination but move forward in the general election process. We want people to know that were very serious about mr. Trump winning the nomination and essentially winning in november. That is some of the changes that you will see. Well have policy speeches. Well spend more money in advertising just to drive up the margins to get is had message out to more people maybe arent watching a lot of able news networks. Trish katrina pierson, thank you so much. Great to be here. Trish i want to hear from you all, what do you think . Do you think this rigged system . Or is the Cruz Campaign outmaneuvering trump rum in terms of the delegation fight . Head over to my facebook page. You can like it. Tell us what you think. Well get the conversation going there. Plus coming up president obama heeding to saudi arabia amid uproar over the threat to harm our economy if 9 11 lawsuits against the saudis are allowed. If the trace of such threats are is he going on the trip . Why wont he release 28 redacted pages from the 9 11 report which may indicate that the saudis were involved in those horrific attacks . New york representative peter king joins me. Plus in fox news exclusive. Heidi cruz is with me. My big interview with the republican senators wife. Why critics dont like her husband and having kids on the campaign trail and what she would like to focus on on the campaign trail. I will see you here.

Should he still get the nomination, if say he gets 1150 delegates . Republican congressman peter king of new york joins me with his thoughts. Congressman king, good to see you again. Trish, great to be with you. Big day, let me ask you. Trish big day, let me ask you this. Former new york mayor Rudy Giuliani said if trump gets close, gets close, the rnc should go ahead and change the rules to give him the nod, do you agree . I dont think they should change the rules. Delegates were elected for purpose to pick candidate they think has best chance of winning to win tore the Republican Party. Im not endorsing donald trump. Im not part after stop trump movement. I dont support ted cruz. I dont think he should change the rule. It is majority. If you dont get majority, to me if you dont get nomination, if he gets that close it is up to him to make the case why he needs to get the balance of votes he needs. Suppose it is 1000, 900 . Where do you draw the line. To me the rules are rules. Trish good point. Everyone knew you had to get a majority. Trish he has to get 1237 or all bets are off. That said, that said, according to you, if you gets close to 1237, say at 12 30 one he will 1231 he has to work aggressively to seal the deal . Yes. Basically make argument to delegates, if i dont get it, donald trump doesnt get nomination, it will cause a split within the party. If they dont fully support him or endorse him, makes more sense for the party to give him nomination. Mate it this close. Nobody else has come close he should get it. Arbitrarily wave the rules is to me the wrong thing to do. Trish do you think, as you say he should make the argument. Do you think that is important argument and one you would support. If donald trump comes that close and he is nominee i would support him. I would have trish let me jump back, you dont like ted cruz. On this show you said it first. Right. Trish congressman king, you would rather take cyanide that wind up having to vote for ted cruz. Yeah. Trish we know you dont like him. But you know, if kasichs not the guy and you have a choice between donald trump or ted cruz still not going to endorse donald trump. No. In that case i would go for donald trump. I wouldnt be enthused about it, but certainly go for him. Ive had contact with donald trump over last several weeks. He dropped me a note on particular issue. I have nothing against donald trump. My problem has been he is making statements some of which are really wrong, saying george bush lied about iraq or knew about 9 11. Saying john mccain was not a war hero. Also talking about, casually talking about south korea and japan having nuclear weapons. Having said all that, he has tapped into something. I like way he goes after you people in the media. I love that anyone who fights with the media i think is terrific. Trish careful, youre on with one of those media folks right now. [laughter]. Yes. Trish let me turn to the president s trip to saudi arabia. This trip is coming while saudi arabia threatens economic fallout if Congress Goes ahead and passes 9 11 bill, i should remind everyone, would allow victims of the deadly terror attacks to sue saudi arabia. There is also a push for the Obama Administration to release 28 pages of sealed documents from the 9 11 report. I want to get your thoughts. Right. Trish congressman, watch what the president said when asked if he had read, if he had just read those 28 pages. I have a sense of what is in there. Jim clapper, our director of national intelligence, has been going through to make sure that, whatever it is that is released is not going to compromise some Major Nationa
