Hey, everybody. Good morning. Its sunday the 3rd of april, 2016. Im anna kooiman. This is fox friends weekend. The battle for the badger state. We are days away from the wisconsin primary and donald trump looking to keep the trump train rolling and the feud to go off with cruz, making his unprecedented move yet. What he did, straight ahead. And this morning, the white house on high alert as hundreds protest pot laws by lighting up a 50foot joint on the president s front lawn. Where were the cop . And a moment bringing the
internet to tears. I got in. Im going to college i got in. She got in. A teenager with Downs Syndrome opens a College Acceptance letter. That student and her mom will join us us live this hour. Fox friends begins right now. Take me out to the ball game oh, it feels like baseball weather, its 20 degrees outside. Happy opening day. Windy and snowy. Yeah. Finish your baseball pics i think theres four games today. The first one kicks off at 1 05 in pittsburgh and janice said it will be freezing in pittsburgh later on. Well have some fun later on. Send us your baseball pictures. And peter doocys in the house. Thanks for having me. Fresh off your big villanova victory. Well get to that in a moment. Fresh is right. But first some politics, because two days until voters hit the polls in wisconsin. Yeah, frontrunner donald trump and ted cruz staying on the attack. Garrett tenney has the very latest from the campaign trail. Reporter good morning. With two days until the tws primary, donald trump and ted cruz are not leaving much if anything off the table. With cruz leading, trump was relentless in his personal attacks on the texas senator throughout the day. But the donald also spent a lot of time trying to explain recent controversial comments he made about nato, abortion, and allowing japan and south korea to acquire nuclear weapons. Trump told supporters all of the comments were taken out of context and blamed the media for making him look bad. Theres such deception and such lying. In fact, when sarah came in today i saw her this morning. We were talking for a little while. I said this politics is really a dishonest business. They say things and ill go into it because im all about making America Great again. Very simple. Very simple. Reporter and ted cruz took a quick detour to north dakotas Republican Convention to try and win other over voters there who are going to select 25 of the states 28 delegates later today. He was the only candidate to make an appearance in person and he praised the States Energy industry while promising to keep the federal government out of the way. And he added this line about conservative values. You know, its easy to talk about making America Great again. You can even print that on the baseball cap, but the real question is do you understand principles and values that make America Great in person . Reporter not a subtle jab at trump and all the candidates are in wisconsin making one last push for the 42 delegates which could help trump win the nomination outright or give ted cruz and john kasich a chance to win it at the convention. Thanks, garrett. Well, meanwhile, donald trump is having to walk back some of the comments on abortion and hes trying to do what he can to get some of the women voters. Three out of four women say they would not vote for him, even one out of three republican women say they would not vote for him, they would be upset. Yeah. On the heels of having to walk back the abortion comments and his Campaign Manager, Corey Lewandowski, facing charges after Michelle Fields said he grabbed and bruised her so were seeing a different side of donald trump though. He haves actually hes not apologizing but he said he regrets something. Remember the war of the wives between heidi cruz and Melania Trump, the picture that he
retweeted, the pretty picture of melania and not so nice one of heidi, he regrets it. If i had to do it, i wouldnt have sent it, he says. What this shows is a kind of retail politicking that donald trump had not done before. Because it comes about when maureen dowd said when you retweeted that picture of heidi cruz she said you lost my sisters vote. He said, tell your sister im improving. Look, my wife is campaigning for me this week. Melania is out there, im going to turn to my daughter ivanka to help handle the womans side of things. How is senator cruz responding to this . Take his apology . Well, here he is with the answer. You know, its gotten to the point where i could not care less about donald trump. [ cheers and applause ]
because he says its a mistake, thats fine, its a mistake. My focus is to ignore all of the nonsense and noise and focus on the issues of the that the people of wisconsin care about. There are women who like them and theyre strong Trump Supporters and theres an opinion piece in the New York Post which asks the question who are the women backing donald trump . If these numbers are to be believed one in three women would have a problem with trump winning the campaign. Theyre security mom, they dont really care about the main, traditional womens values issues. Theyre security moms, women who vote not on traditional womens issues. Education, abortion, et cetera. But on foreign policy. Yeah. The people who vote on other women who vote on issues other than those pertaining to their
uterus. Its a news story that the woman might want to vote for the frontrunner of the two major parties. But its a problem for him. Like the democrats say, hey, if youre a woman and you dont vote for us, theres something wrong with you. Right. Its Hillary Clinton. Shes got the coronation. If youre a woman you have to fall in line. How is that fair . Its theres such a double standard. Speaking of the race on the democratic side, Hillary Clinton anders and Bernie Sanders said hey, i want to debate you ahead of the april the 19th primary, she said ill debate you if you change your tone. Theres more squabbling. Been quite a scrappy week between the two of them. And now were learning that they are going to debate. Theyre just negotiating where theyre going to do it and what time. She apparently wanted to do it on the night of some ncaa basketball game and they were like no, we want people to see the debate. Yeah. Really something that Hillary Clinton is the one who is say g saying, we need more debates because is that something you
would expect a strong frontrunner to want . Because the headlines thats come out of the debates its never good. Why would she want if she was in a strong opinion to debate . A great point. Look, if she loses wisconsin, thats a huge story. If she loses and gets trounced in wisconsin, thats a huge story. Then the new york primary. Shes the senator from new york. That would be such a psychological blow. And remember the dnc tried to hide the debates and then Hillary Clinton emerged very strong during the debates. It was an opportunity for her to answer the narrative questions that Bernie Sanders has been laying out. Shes still upset with his tone, that he points back to her being cozy with wall street. Not happy about this. She tweeted this out. Sort of hedging her bets. You always had my back. Im going to try, that means theyre not doing to do it. Im going to try to make it to your party. Your backlash on twitter going really, youre putting loopholes in your tweets . You want to contrast it on the other side, trump everything he says, he says i will do it. Even if its Something Big and broad that would be really tough for a president to do, he says this is the problem, it will be better. Not im going to try. Donald trump is predicting a massive recession, but he has the plans to fix it. Yeah, an interesting interview. A long ranging interview. Well talk about it later in the show, Bob Woodwards interview with him. But first, big election coverage is starting tonight on fnc. Greta hosts a special town hall with donald trump, 8 00 p. M. Hell be taking questions from the crowd. Dont miss that. Then on monday all three candidates are in primetime. John kasich is with greta, followed by an all new oreilly
factor and ted cruz sits down with megyn kelly and donald trump on hannity. Its leading up to live on tuesday, here on fnc. At the moment well switch gears and tell you what else is making news, starting with a fox news alert. The Brussels Airport opening the doors for the first time today since last months deadly terror attack. Heres a live look outside that airport right now. Only a few flights will take off today to italy, athens, portugal. The airport says it will take months to be back at full capacity.

And drove my car from philadelphia to detroit and they lost pretty bad. Well, good victory. So well be watching that. Congrats, peter. All right, coming up on the show, two weeks removed from the terror attack in brussels and a new report says more than 5,000 jihadists are on the loose in europe right now. How are they slipping through the cracks . Well talk about that. And plus, its not the scene you expect to see outside the rink. Hockey fans sent flying from an escalator.

As the Brussels Airport reopens today, there are questions if the officials missed crucial warning signs leading up to the bombings. An a. P. Report revealing that the airport bomber ibrahim passed through several background checks. What does this say about the intel jegs sharing . Joining us right now is dr. Zuhdi jasser. Good morning. Good to be with you. There are countries now in the europe and the middle east who are concerned with getting these terrorist foreign fighters, but once they kick them out of their country they dont care what happens. Is that about right . Yeah. It really every time we go through this, peter, its like we do this postmortem after a major attack and we wonder, well, how did this happen . We realize as we peel the onion we realize its the sheer volume of the jihadists and the lack of coordination within the European Countries and countries having different strategies and responding differently to communications they get. And the second one is more important, the lack of vetting for any ideological profiling. The European Union does not vet for political ideology as far as islamists and jihadists. They said theyre foreign
terrorist, not islamists. Why . Theyre not vetting for the ideology that theyre actually creating in their open countries. How would that kind of vetting work though . Do you ask, are you a terrorist, islamic radical, how would that work . Well, this is the problem because were asks the terrorists themselves or the islamists that are coming, have you ever thought of committing an act of terrorism and of course theyll say no. If we look at principles that are a firewall between freedom and those that are islamists so we need to find out about caliphatism. Do they believe in jihad, especially militant jihad. There are ways to vet. In the cold war we did this with communism and the countries we use to help us would be like in the cold war use cuba to help us
vet the communists. Those are countries we would never trust in telling us who is coming into the west that are communists. Why is it that turkey and saudi arabia, why dont they ever tip us off, hey, we found this guy and we deported him. Keep an eye on him. He could do something bad, why dont they ever do that . Well, because for them to tip us off truly would be to basically expose the ideologies within their own countries. Saudi arabia is wahhabi islamists are radical militants in their government that are theocrats that are basically isis is their stepchild, so yes, they may say theyre with us in exposing the terrorists that want to do acts of terror, but theyre only focused on the last week or two and we always find out that thats very late and if were going to vet against the thousands coming into europe we have to use our own vetting for our own ideals. The secularism, freedom and
democracy against caliphatism which theyre part of. Thank you dr. Jasser. We have a great political panel, right after this. Nothing else. Its a natural source of fiber and five essential vitamins.
