FOXNEWSW Americas Election HQ April 10, 2016

Im leland have it senator im Elizabeth Prann. Welcome to marks election headquarters from washington wash. Voters this weekend expanding the winning streaks of ted cruz and Bernie Sanders instead of delegate frontrunners donald trump and Hillary Clinton n. Colorado, ted cruz completed his sweep by lock up 13 delegates at the state convention late saturday, adding him to the 21 pledged on friday. In a statement, senator cruz says, utah, north dakota, wisconsin and tonights incredible results in colorado have proven this. Republicans are uniting behind our campaign because they want a leader with Real Solutions who will bring back jobs, freedom, and security. One of Donald Trumps surrogates responded to the win today. We werent playing in colorado and they did. I acknowledge they have taken eight an approach to some of the county conventions where they can get the scorched earth policy and they dont care about the party. They dont get what they want, they blow it up, thats not going to work. More with the panel on the democrats side. Bernie sanders talks Hillary Clinton in the wyoming caucuses yesterday. Sanders pd where up 56 of caucus votes, Hillary Clinton 44 . Giving him the victory but no delegate bump. Both candidates spock out earlier this morning. What is the path to the nomination is we have cut secretary clintons lead by one third in the last month. We have won eight out of nine contests. National polling in the last three polls, two of them have us ahead. We are running stronger against donald trump and other republicans. I expect to be the nominee. And i will hope to have a unified Democratic Party so that we can turn our attention to the republican nominee, either donald trump or ted cruz would be a terrible choice for america. So the victory went to Bernie Sanders in wyoming. But do the party rules, the delegate race came out as a draw. Both sanders and clinton picked up seven delegates, bringing sanders no closer to closing the gachlt he has 1068 delegates compared to clintons 1756. On the gop side, ted cruzs colorado win brings his total to 545 delegates. Though he still trails trump, who has 743. John kasich has 143. Looking towards the next round of delegates up for grabs in new york come april 19th, new fox news polls out in the past few hours show donald trump and Hillary Clinton with commanding leads. On the republican side, 95 delegates up for grabs. Donald trump leads by more than 30 points, 54 , kasich, 22. Ted cruz down to 15 . On the democratic side, 291 delegates up for grabs. Hillary clinton doesnt have quite as large of a lead but still beats sanders by double digits, 5327. Joining us, evan buy, and cal thomas. Gentlemen, appreciate you you being here. Good sunday to you. Thank you. Senator, first to you. Lots of buzz surrounding sanders. He has won seven of the past eight contests. Saturday night live lampooned senator clinton on that point. His rallies in new york are these big raucous affairs with a lot of energy and those types of things. But does all the buzz cut through that nearly 20 point lead that Hillary Clinton has . Leland, as you alluded in your introduction to the segment, its the delegates that ultimately decide the nomination. And secretary clinton is ahead among the delegates. Your poll that you just put up shows she is in a strong position in the large states of new york and pennsylvania. And i have a tremendous sense of deja vu about all of this because eight years ago barack obama had an early lead and secretary clinton won ohio, texas, pennsylvania a lot of the big states but his lead was enough that that carried him over the threshold. That looks like the same thing is going to happen in her favor this time. Sanders, credit to him for winning these states renl recently but the big states and the delegates are still going for her and that ultimately will decide the nomination. It seems as though the conversation surrounding hig has changed so much. You know, it was six or eight months ago she was the inevitable democratic nominee. Now weve got a real race on our hands as perhaps best shown by saturday night live last night. Its true, i have not been winning as of late. In fact, i have not won a state in almost three weeks because that was the plan. I didnt want to win those. And so i didnt. Who can remember how many states ive lost in a row . Is it two . Or is it three . I think they later cleared up that its seven. Does it matter at some point . Or as the senator points out, is she still inevitable here . It reminds me of the scene in the first matrix where agent smith has neoon the tracks and the subway car is coming down. And he says do you hear that sound, mr. Anderson . Thats the sound of inevitability. Well, of course we know how that turned out. It didnt turn out to be inevitable after all. Hanging over Hillary Clinton and evan buy is right. If there was not the prospect of an indictment which he told mat lawyer is absolutely not going to happen, although it appears that director comey will be interviewing Hillary Clinton about her emails possibly as early as next month. If there wasnt that hanging over her head it would probably be a slam dunk because she certainly has the super delegates. But we are three months away from both conventions. Anything can happen. No matter how many delegates mrs. Clinton wins or the super delegates, if an indictment comes down all bets are off on the democratic side to that point, senator, buy, the super delegates can change their vote as they see fit . Ly land, thats correct. Eight years ago some did. Some were for mrs. Clinton early on. When barack obama got a head of steam going, some of them changed sides, particularly in the Africanamerican Community because of the natural affinity for then senator obama. It can happen f. Call is right, if there is an indictment, that obviously changes everything. But that looks like its not a likelihood at this point. And so she is in a strong position to win the nomination. The convention will be about the platform and the speeches and all of that. Unless there is an outside event of some kind she is looking very strong. Quickly on the republican side, the president has gone after donald trump pretty hard over the past couple of weeks or so n. His exclusive interview with Chris Wallace, he then went after ted cruz. Listen. Finally, weve seen in this campaign i think both on the among some trump voters and amongst some sanders voters, anger about washington, about wall street. Do you feel any personal responsibility that eight years after you came into office, there are millions of people out there who still feel cut out from the decisions that affect their lives . There is no doubt that i feel frustrated about it. My whole operating assumption in terms of our democracy is the more people that are involved, the more they know, the more they are involved, the more responsive our government is. We saw the president talk about that. We saw him talk about how ted cruzs policies or Donald Trumps policies dont work as well. In some sense, no disrespect to the president but is the generic republican voter really care all that much about what president obama says about the republican primary process . No more than they should care what the New York Times editorial page says about them. But the president didnt really answer chriss question. Here is a man who came in full of hope. I was proud of this country for electing the first africanamerican president. I grew up with segregation in washington, d. C. This was a great moment. And i said he had a tremendous opportunity to heal the racial divide, to get young africanamerican children out of these failing government schools, to allow them to have a real education and a ticket to prosperity and a sufficient sustaining life. But none of these things happened. And Chris Wallace properly asked him do you feel any responsibility for this . And he punted. Well, he punted. Senator buy, would you like to not punt and say, does the president have any responsibility for the anger that americans feel for the past seven years . Leland, when you are the chief executive of anything, whether its the United States of america, a state, as when i was governor of indiana, a mayor, a leader of a company of course you bear some responsibility for things that happen. In fairness, i remember george w. Bush running and promising to be a uniter and not a divider. We had divisions back then and unfortunately he wasnt able to ambiguous a dent in these things. This is longer trend of polarization in our country. People need to decide we are foers and foremost americans and we should focus on trying to reconcile our differences rather than the campaigns that divide the country and tear us apart. Agree. Maybe you should be running. If you would like to make any announce meant. Dont scare the viewers like that. Gentlemen, appreciate you both being here. North carolinas socalled bathroom bill ignites a firestorm of criticism. Its just one of several religious liberty laws coming out of state houses. Do they promote discrimination or protect religious freedoms . Well talk to Family Research council tony perkins about this. And its bringing down the temperature on your spring fever.

For now, it will get limited use a few times a year to collect measurements and then swap out some sensors. There is a growing trend among state houses across the nation with a concentration in the south regarding religious liberty legislation. North carolina is part of that trend. It passed a new bill centered on which bathrooms transgender people are allowed to use and raised questions about how that is enforced. Other states such as florida tennessee, georgia mississippi and others have similar debates centered around not only Public Safety buthe definition of Faith Based Organizations and if their needs to be local laws to protect their believes. What are the consequence was these types of laws . What is fact . What is fiction . Joining us, tony perkins from the Family Research council. Tony, thank you so much for joining us and helping us get a better understanding of a lot of these bills that were seeing. I want to start in North Carolina. What do you find unique about this bill . And what would the consequences be . Elizabeth, what the legislators in North Carolina did was simply say for Public Safety purposes were not going to allow an ordinance in charlotte which would require private businesses others to open up their rest room facilities locker rooms so a man could go into a womens bathroom or where girls are at. They said it was a Public Safety issue. That was simply saying that government cannot force businesses to do that. Doesnt prohibit businesses if they want to do it on their answer. You see business like paypal weighing in saying they are not going to do business in North Carolina when they dont have these policies within their private businesses that they are free to do. Their 16 bills relating to bathroom usage. They are the same, but different, they are a plaid if that makes sense of reasonings behind, some of them Public Safety, and other religion u. S. Liberty. How do you clarify that and why is there such a misunderstanding of the laws being presented . This comes in the wake of the Supreme Court redefining marriage and opening the door to all kinds of Public Policy problems. In he is miss last week sign into law a religious liberty bill different than North Carolina. What it does is it says the government and contrary to what people are saying, it allows discrimination it actually prohibits discrimination. It prohibits the government from discriminating against a religious organization or an individual based upon their religious beliefs. Paypal says it is. The governor of georgia says it is. What do you say to them . For instance, you have got a number of nonprofit faisbased adoption agencies for instance that work with the state to place children in homes. But they have a faith statement. They believe that marriage, as the president did just a few years ago is the union of a man and a woman. What this does is prohibits the state from taking away their Tax Exemption or not working with them to place children into a position into a home, or it would prohibit the state from taking away the Tax Exemption of a church because the church believes that marriage is the union of a unanimous and a woman. It keeps the state from being used as a club to beat people into submission and to abandon their deeply held believes. Mississippi, you brought up, has certainly more of a sweeping law. Can you explain to me why mississippi has probably a larger consequences . And where do we draw the line . Where do state lawmakers draw the line . Again, what mississippi does is it does not take away any rights from someone who believes in same sex marriage, doesnt take anything away from them. What it does is keeps the state from punishing someone because they believe that marriage is still the union of a unanimous and a woman. It would prohibit the state from affecting their tax status or from denying them say they are in the business of helping drug addicts and they are a Faith Based Organization because they believe that marriage is the union of a man and a woman they couldnt be deny a state contract to help teenagers. Its simply taking the state out of this so that the state bludgeon people. This is all about our first freedom, the freedom to believe and live according to your beliefs. Thats fundamental. Thats what made america work is weve given people that space. This, i believe what mississippi has done is that compromise that will give us that space so that we can have a civil society. I wish we can have you on nor talk about it. Tony perkins. Thank you for talking about a complicated issue. Coming up we all know about spring showers. But no one wants spring showers. Janice dean in our Weather Center on when spring might actually arrive. I promise its going to be here. We just have to wait until next week. Ill talk about the snow showers and where you can expect them when we return after the break. I have asthma. One of many pieces in my life. So when my asthma symptoms kept coming back on my longterm control medicine, i talked to my doctor and found a missing piece in my asthma treatment. Oncedaily breo prevents asthma symptoms. Breo is for adults with asthma not well controlled on a longterm asthma control medicine, like an inhaled corticosteroid. Breo wont replace a rescue inhaler for sudden breathing problems. Breo opens up airways to help improve breathing for a full 24 hours. Breo contains a type of medicine that increases the risk of death from asthma problems and may increase the risk of hospitalization in children and adolescents. Breo is not for people whose asthma is well controlled on a longterm asth
