Lisa wrote, too late, you couldnt pay me to see it. And then there are roles that require male, female. And michael says, 100 over the line. Thanks for joining us, fox friends starts right now. Bye. Good morning, 6 00 on the dot here on the east coast. Good morning, its thursday, tail end of the week, march 31st, 2016. Im ainsley earhardt. This morning, donald trump clarifying this moment. Should the woman be punished with abortion . Look, is this not something to be dodged. Was it a misstep, a bad question or both . We report, you decide. Meanwhile, america on edge this morning as the transfers from gitmo start again. Dangerous criminals being called the worst of the worst about to be set free. Where will they go . Well tell you what we know. And a travel warning for americans, if youre ugly you should probably stay home. What what the state Department Tweet that has the agency backtracking this morning. Has a lot to do with spring break. Nothing personal. But let me remind you, mornings remain better with friends. Well, people cant go to panama city anymore. They do, but theyre not. No, theyre not. The reason. I know, i hear business is not booming down there anymore. People are mad at us. But the beaches are cleaned up. There was a big drug problem down there. The streets are clean, beaches clean. Thats right. Now people are going elsewhere to tropical places, overseas. But you can be ugly there. Lets talk politics. The campaign trail rocked again by controversial comments, this time, from republican candidate donald trump. But now the republican frontrunner is walking back his remarks. Garrett tenney is live. Good morning. The latest controversy all started at a town hall meeting in wisconsin where trump was asked about abortion. Do you believe in punishment for abortion, yes or no, as a principle . The answer is there has to be some form of punishment. To the woman . Yeah, there has to be some form. Ten years. That, i dont know. You take positions on Everything Else. I do take positions on Everything Else its a very complicated position. And trump highlighted how complicated it is. A few hours later he leased this statement that reads in part, the doctor or any other person performing this illegal act upon a woman would be held legally responsible, not the woman. And trumps fellow republican
candidates are now going after him for his apparent abortion. Donald trump will figure out a way to say he didnt say that or misquoted or whatever. I dont think so. I dont think thats an appropriate response. Its a difficult enough situation than to try to punish somebody. That comment was wrong. It really is the latest demonstration how little donald has thought about any of the serious issues facing this country. Trump has not been hurt by any of his previous comments or position swaps. It will be interesting to see if that holds true five days from now in wisconsin. Steve. Thank you very much. Thats the trouble with answering a hypothetical question. Dr. Ben carson said that he didnt think donald trump didnt have time to think about it. Politicians try to figure out how to answer a question without answering the question. And ben carson said donald trump
is not a politician yet. He said he was prochoice for a while. Thats part of being a politics, asked a series of questions in a town hall, Chris Matthews got his story. What does everyone get from this . Here are the headlines that came forward as the town hall aired. If, for example, i mean basically, Mainstream Media, they were covering this, it was all over the press. Mainstream media was talking about this high political comment. Internet melted after he said it. Thats right. Then he clarified what he meant. However, heres the question, will the Mainstream Media cover this . Last night, ted cruz appeared on the jimmy kimmel program, before ted cruz sat down in the chair, what jimmy kimmel talked about he had this segment about apple fools pranks. One prank was putting the picture of donald trump in the backup camera on the car so the
person thinks theyre about to run over donald trump when they reversed. That, it turns out, came up later when mr. Cruz sat in the chair. I dislike obamas policies more. I see. But Donald Donald is an unique individual. [ laughter ] i will say i was watching the early part of the show. And if i were in my car and getting ready to reverse and saw donald in the backup camera [ laughter ] im not confident which pedal id choose. So if donald trump winds up in the next few days with tire treads on his back, i would question ted cruz. I believe he was coming off a skit that Jimmy Kimmels was doing that showed the devil in the backup camera. And thats what he was playing off of. I dont think he was saying he would run over trump. Msnbc quickly came out with
this, trumble position for abortion. And this ran crazy. Ctv, trump suggests punishment for women for abortion. This was quick. Meanwhile, there was a poll that came out from wisconsin the Marquette Law School poll. And what it showed is ted cruz is ahead of donald trump by ten points, as you can see right there. Donald trump is ten points ahead of john kasich. Its a bit of a turnaround. The real clear politics average does have ted cruz in the lead by 35 followed by donald trump at 32. And john kasich at 22. So it looks like mr. Cruz is three points ahead of donald trump going into tuesday. This is the latest and huge. For him to be trailing ten points down without someones home state that could show a reversal. New york, pennsylvania,
connecticut, everything that could go towards donald trump, after a twoweek long and controversy, you have marquette coming out of the poll with a tenpoint lead. Its proportional, though. And it is assumed that if donald trump would find a way to takes with with, he would have a great shot of getting the threshold. What would that mean for ted cruz if he wins . Great news for him. Exactly. The last marquette poll showed ted cruz behind donald trump ten points. They have flipflopped. And Garrett Tenney was saying every comment that trump has made hasnt hurt him. Why the flipflop in wisconsin . Now that the field is whittled down to three people. For the most part, the republican establishment is coalescent around ted cruz saying, look, we hate donald trump. Of course, they hate ted cruz, too. They just hate ted cruz a little
less than donald trump. So the machinery in wisconsin including governor squcott walk who was on this program yesterday, talk radio is unified in wisconsin against donald trump. Theyre on the cruz train. Meanwhile, the trump train over there saying look, we dont like the establishment. The latest poll it was done between march 24th and 28th, that was done during the trump and cruz spat regarding the wives. Thats a great point, ainsley. If walker is going to have an impact, we dont know it yet. Hes very popular with the republicans that got him elected three times, and theyre coalescing around cruz which could make that number greater. Last night i was walking governor huckabees daughter saying look, we dont need wisconsin. New york, connecticut, pennsylvania are coming up and theyre currently in the trump polling category. Ed rawlings put out a whole breakdown on what to do if youre donald tlump. Weve been covering a lot of news. This is a fox news alert. Dangerous criminals, some who have killed americans are about to be set free. The pentagon is planning another round of gitmo transfers within the next few days which includes an al qaeda fighter from yemen who has been on a Hunger Strike since 2007. President obama has vowed to close gitmo. There are now 91 detainees left at gitmo. Brandnew information about a massive terror plot foiled in france. Police are revealing the frenchman outside of the brussels attack. They found dozens of assault rifles, machine gun, materials used to make bombs in his apartment. And they say it was just a matter of time before a catastrophic and largescale attack was going to be pulled
off. He has an extensive rap sheet and he travelled to syria multiple times. Also breaking right now, a nurse under arrest accused of murdering patients. The 55yearold is accused of killing at least 13 patients from 2014 to 2015. This allegedly happened in an Anesthesia Department of a hospital near florence, italy. The arrest comes just weeks after another nurse in italy was sentenced to life in prison for killing a patient. And new overnight, heartstopping video of a plane on fire. Look at that. This happened in North Carolina. The video shows crews working to put out that fireball. No one was inside that plane, thank goodness. No one was hurt but they still have no idea how this started. The faa is stepping in to investigate. Those are your headlines, my friends. Meanwhile, the tantalizing tweet thats got the University Internet talking. The state department puts this out yesterday. Not a ten in the u. S. But not a
ten overseas. Be wear of being lured into buying expensive drinks or worse being robbed. Spring breaking badly. Well immediately, the twitterverse erupted and said that is sexist and the state Department Took it down. I didnt understand what that meant when i first read the tweet. The 10 meaning on a scale of 1 to 10 how pretty or ugly you are. Theyre saying if youre not bo derek and you get a lot of attention, its because theyre probably trying to rob you. Heres the skwampl they gave you, if someone offers you a free trip abroad or free luggage, look out in the luggage, it might be lined with drugs. You think youre lucky but youre really not. Also tempted to buy cheap pirated goods and youll get arrested when you come into the United States. I think their intentions were
good, did you see the movie taken . Yes. The girls get off the plane, cute girl, the guy. Its terrifying. If a guy tells you at that age hey, youre pretty, can you come to my party, you might take the bait. Heres the thing, the state department was trying to be a little edgy. Funny. Right. Its the same advice your mom gave you, dont take candy from strangers. You think about it, im not a 10 in the United States. Thanks to the he trick system in europe, im a 35. I think youre a 10, you dont think youre a 10 . I am not a 10. You are. Maybe when i was younger. All right. Meanwhile coming up straight ahead the crew agrees with me. We love you. Thank you. What do you think, is steve a 10 . Coming up on this thursday, its becoming the defining moment of his campaign. I will build a great, great wall. On our southern border. And i will have mexico pay for that wall. Well, now for the first time, the National BorderPatrol Council is endorsing a president ial candidate. And guess what. Its donald trump.

Tena lets you be you all right. In the battle over the border, donald trump took a firm stand early in this race, you may have heard. I will build a great, great wall on our southern border. And i will have mexico pay for that wall, mark my words. The Border Patrol has invited me because theyve got such a problem. They want to be able to do their job. We have thousands and thousands of Illegal Immigrants in our country, not only taking jobs. But many of them are causing problems beyond belief. Many killings, murders, crime, drugs pouring across the border, our money going out and the drugs coming in. And i said, we need to build a wall. And it has to be built quickly. Yep. Now, as this race progresses for the republican nomination it gets down to the wire. A group that has never, ever before endorsed a candidate in a president ial primary is breaking tradition by showing its support behind donald trump. Meet brandon judd, president of the National BorderPatrol Council with nearly 7,000 Border Patrol agents. Brandon, how tough was it for you to make this very unprecedented move . It was a very tough move. We had to vet candidates and look at their positions on the border. Donald trump has a strong position on the border and hes had the strongest position on the border. Ted cruz says im from texas, i know about the border. Ive been stronger on the border, what do you say about them . Well, i have to look sat who brought this issue to the
forefront, and who is continually talking about this issue, and frankly, thats donald trump. Right. And what was his reaction when his camp got word that youre doing this . Well, i think theyre very pleased because it these the agents on the border, ive been an agent on the National BorderPatrol Council for 18 years. Ive seen the lawlessness. Ive chased the aliens through the brush, through the mountains. And he has seen ohio that affecting the morale of Border Patrol not being able to do your job and he wants to take the handcuffs off. Brandon, would a wall help . Yes, in strategic places. You know, there are certain places that we dont have to have a wall. But thats a conversation that donald trump is willing to have with those people, the agents, who actually patrol the border, hes willing to have that conversation with them. All right. You made this statement, you represent 17,000 people that could make a real difference. You talk about a contrast. Youre not going to find it with cruz and kasich, but you will
find it with hillary who said on thursday i think youve done a really good job securing the border. Whos right here . I promise you hillary is not right. All you have to do is look at the numbers as far as how many arrests we make, how many gota ways there are. If you look at how many persons from countries of special interests like afghanistan, pakistan are entering our country illegally, those numbers are way up. So, im afraid that Hillary Clinton is wrong on that front. Brandon, thanks for making news here. And you took a very big step in supporting the candidate at this point in the process. Brandon judd, thanks so much. Appreciate it, thank you. Straight ahead a hospital taking a radical step, banning opiates in the emergency room. Why are they doing it . Well discuss it with dr.
