Three brothers. Thanks for inviting us into your house tonight. Thats it for this special report, fair, balanced and unafraid. Greta goes on the record right now. Trump scoring his highest numbers in a brand new new york poll. The new york one Baruch College poll of g. O. P. Voters has donald trump with a commanding 60 . Governor john kasich a whopping 43 points behind trumpx v with 17 . And senator ted cruz way behind trump at 14 . We have hit the one week mark until new york has cast their votes and donald trump and secretary Hillary Clinton who are dominating in new york. We apologize for airplane hangers but they are the only things that hold our crowds because something is going on. Notice that under the bright spotlight and scrutiny here in new york senator sanders has had trouble answering questions. Our republican system is
absolutely rigged. I look forward to a debate that is in new york with people asking the kind of questions that new yorkers ask. New york state has lost three out of four, three out of four manufacturing jobs that existed in 1960 is gone. I want to start drawing the starkest distinction between what i know america stands for, what i believe our not just new york but american values, and what donald trump is standing for. Folks, what the hell is going on . Former speaker of the house Newt Gingrich is here. Nice to see you, mr. Speaker. Donald trump doing very well in new york. Why . Well, part of it is is he a new yorker and he has been around forever. He has been on page 6 in the gossip columns i think for over 30 years. Almost 40 years now. He feels like a new yorker. He talks like a new yorker. And people say welcome home. I have to say 60 is big. I thought when he was in the early low 50s he was impressive. If that poll is anywhere close to accurate, you are going to get a blow out, he will pick up 95 delegates and that will be very impressive. Okay. So its impressive he gets 95 out of 95 if he does. What it does it mean in terms of getting to 1237 by july. 59 closer than anybody else. Duh, that one can i figure out by myself believe it or not. Does it mean he is going to get to that . I think bringing9t on Paul Paul Manafort makes a huge difference. Trump is a guy who moves in surges. You just watch him. He focuses very intently and then i puts enormous resources. Again, this is a guy who is worth somewhere between 4 and 10 billion. So, his ability to focus is unlike anybody i have ever seen in politics. They have got, i mean man
for the man fort sill manafort still has his hands full. What you are seeing is they are going to do very well in new york. They are going to do very well in pennsylvania. When cruz is running third. And i had thought thought about this coming out of wisconsin candidly because kasich is doing a little better than people expected. Cruz is doing worse than people expected. What it does is its very hard to argue you are the key alternative when you are in third place. And if the numbers we just saw are anywhere close to right and cruz is down at 14 or 15 , in what is still our third biggest state, its going to be or fourth biggest now. Very close to florida, it is really going to be challenging for him. If he repeats that same performance in pennsylvania, potentially repeats it in connecticut and rhode island, and new jersey, and then by then they get to indiana and by that stage trump will look like he is
very dominant. So i think the odds are better than even money that they can find the delegates before they get to cleveland. Donald trump says that colorado is rigged. Well, i dont know if colorado is rigged or not. I do know that when the state party tweeted that they had beaten trump. Thatrdwas bad . That was these are the moments when you want to find that person and just sort of put them in a nice Rocky Mountain stream for about six hours. I mean, this is insane. It fits everybodys conspiracy theory. Im sure that cruz is mortified by it. And, of course it, feeds into a whole bias in trump world about how the establishment is going to cheat. Now, i think in the end they cant cheat enough to make it matter. Do you think cruz and trump will ever be sort of standing on that stage together with their arms around each other in cleveland . Well, im old enough that i remember Linden Johnson and john f. Kennedy suddenniblely finding happiness together. Stranger things have happened in life. George h. W. Bush voodoo economics deciding that actually supply side economics was terrific if he could be Vice President. So these things happen. I think its more likely that kasich would emerge as the Vice President ial nominee. That would give that would presumably give the Republican Party ohio and florida and the word is that they cant win without ohio and florida. And they are going to get texas. Any republican candidate who is not going to carry texas might as well not campaign. All right. One quick question. Hillary clinton and senator Bernie Sanders why has she not been able to get him out of the race . Well, why should he get out of the race . He has figured out a model of financing. Why cant she get him out . Why hasnt she been able to trounce him . Because it doesnt matter. She is going to trounce him in new york. So it doesnt matter . It just doesnt matter. Is she being nice sort of letting him tag along. In a free society. We trounces him here is
bernie, sort of a College Professor kind of guy. His future is vermont or being a candidate so he stay as candidate. And he goes around. He is having fun. He gets huge crowds. The college kids who love him couldnt care less about reality. And its the perfect if a guy is winning because his Campaign Theme is i am going to give you free education, legalize marijuana, you can be happy for the 23 years it takes to you graduate, why do you think any of his supporters care . Anyway, mr. Speaker, nice to see you. Good to see. You 2016 candidates with the exception ofasenator ted cruz deag the day off crisscrossing new york state. And donald trump is taking on the small Central New York town of rome, new york. Trump crying foul hitting hard at the rnc. Our republican system, our republican system is absolutely rigged. Its a phony deal. Now, what do i know . I started running like nine months ago. Who would have thought i
would have been in first place. What do i know . Right . What do i know in the rnc, the Republican National committee they should be ashamed of themselves for allowing this kind of crap to happen. I can tell you that. They should be ashamed of themselves. [cheers and applause] because it has nothing to do with democracy. They took the votes away from the people in colorado. People are burning up their republican cards because they want to vote. And you have got to see whats happening out there. Its actually a thing of beauty if you want to know the truth. Because they are not going to take it and they may it may be shoved down their face and who knows, but, you know what . They are fighting and they are all over the place and they are angry. The economy is rigged. The Banking System is rigged. There is a lot of things that are rigged in this world of ours. And thats why a lot of you havent had an effective wage increase in 20 years, folks. And were going to change it were going to change it. Fox news Senior Correspondent john roberts is in rome, new york. John . Greta, donald trump certainly has a way of wrapping it all together, suggesting that people are being disenfranchised that n. A number of different areas of their lives from the economy to politics and he is the one who can make things different. Hey, quick update about whats going on in colorado in terms of that tweet that you and speaker gingrich were mentioning. The colorado Republican Party is investigating it. They have got some leads. They believe it was somebody who had access to the twitter account. Which should not have been tweeting on it. They havent nailed down exactly who it is. They have some pretty good ideas. Donald trump started off today with a little bit of good news when the secretary of state in the state of missouri said donald trump had won that states primary on march the 13th two tenths of one Percentage Points which gives him 12 more delegates over ted cruz to use the speakers math he is 12 delegates closer than anyone else to the
nomination. Seven days to ask for recount. The clock is ticking, they havent yet determined what theyre going to do. In terms of what trump is saying about the process there in colorado, its unclear what the end game is. Though donald trump firmly believes that the person who goes into the convention with the most delegates, and this would be a plurality of delegates, not just a majority of delegates. Is the one who should become the nominee. And on that front, in some polls he gets support from the majority of the american population. So it may be that trump is trying to put a lot of pressure on the Republican National committee to suggest if you dont give it to me, if i come in with the most number of votes, iflu im a few hundred votes or at least delegates ahead of the next closest competitor. Youre going to have a voter revolt on your hands unless you find some way to give it to me. John kasich was the only other candidate who was out in the campaign trail on the republican side. Big speech before the Republican National womens club in which he took aim at both ted cruz and donald trump, suggesting that both of them would take the nation down a path to
darkness. Cruz, who hasnt really, i guess, criticized kasich too much certainly took him on today. The campaign sending out a tweet that said this is irony, a guy who has no path talking about two paths in america because that was the text of kasichs speech about two paths to america. Also interesting for kasich, who likes to be all about sweetness to take a sledge ham tore both of these candidates. Thats what he does do from time to time. Donald trump also showing that he is pivoting a little bit to the national election. Taking on Hillary Clinton, calling her several times tonight and the night before a liar and then at the same time suggesting that hey, my competitors, whether they be the current competitors or the people i have knocked out of the race so far i might just reach out for them kasich for v. P. , rubio for v. P. , cabinet member maybe even scott waukesha. Heard from kasichs campaign on thki front u greta, zero chance that kasich would ever be involved in a trump campaign. There is still a little while to go before november and things have a tendency to change. Greta . They sure do. John, thank you. And on the records Griff Jenkins was also at that trump rally. Griff spoke to some supporters to get the pulse of new york voters. Greta, passions are running high here in rome, new york where thousands of supporters turned out to hear mr. Trump speak. We spoke to some of them earlier. They were coming in. What do you think of trump . Are you supporting him . He is the man. Listen, we need somebody to be the boss. We need a businessman to run the country. I like him. I think he has great ideas and i think he is possibly what this country needs. How about you . Well, im on the fence here. He is the outsider, he is not a politician. The politicians are probably going to treat him a little differently. I think i think his attitude is good. I think he has been fair with everybody. We will see where it goes from there. Is he prosecond amendment. I like the idea that he is antiestablishment. So i think we need a little bit of a change in the white house. Enough is enough. I guess im businessminded. I really like the way he says it how it is. He may not have the perfect answers for a lot of the political issues. But is he a business guy. He is going to find the people that do know how to answer the questions and put them underneath him. I like what he says. Want to take the country back and basically i cant stand the way government is run. Do you think he will win here in new york . He is going to be a landslide. You Better Believe it. In Central New York, for on thetc record, im Griff Jenkins. And tomorrow donald trump hitting the road or maybe taking to the air in a 757. He is head to do pittsburgh, pennsylvania for a rally there. And speaker of the house paul ryan cant seem to convince the media. So he tried again. This time taking to the podium at the g. O. P. Headquarters. His goal to put the lid on swirling rumors that he may still run for president this year. We have too much work to do in the house to have this swirl and have my
motivations questioned. So let me be clear. I do not want nor will i accept the nomination for our party. So let me speak directly to the delegates on this. If no candidate has the majority in the first ballot, i believe that you should only choose from a person who has actually participated in the primary. Count me out. I simply believe that if you want to be the nominee for our party, to be the president , you should actually run for it. I chose not to do this. Therefore, i should not be considered, period, end of story. I just think it would be wrong to go any other way. So, let me say again i am not going to be our partys nominee. The on the record Political Panel is here from the boston globe matt visor and from the Weekly Standard danielle hell per. Matt, do you think the this
has been more emphatic than he has been before. I dont see any way of thinking that he sees a scenario for him. Even when he was House Speaker or people were trying to get him run for House Speaker he was conditional on what would convince him to become House Speaker. He was reluctant but he ended up taking it this is pretty definitive. Dam . Did he run out a third party bid. Who knows he wasnt asked about that look, there is two things going on here. People who dont like donald trump or ted cruz who want paul ryan tofu jump in the race and to somehow secure the republican nomination. And then there are people who like ted cruz and donald trump who fear that the establishment takeover will lead to paul ryan taking over. So thats what what is leading o all. This i agree, this is pretty definitive. If he had want to do run, he would have run. More to the point he dropped out of the race, said he is not going to run way before the field was established. Its sort of its this fantasy to think that he would have dreamed up this possibility months ago and thought my best option is to
not run for president in order to be president. You know, he has been on this show a number of times. Is he very well known to everybody on capitol hill. This is a guy who, he doesnt have his fire in the belly to do. This he actually likes and i have said this a number of times. He stays in his office at night. He sleeps there. He budget until late in the night and you may disagree with him on ideology, but i dont think you will find anyone who works harder and really devoted to his work and he goes to his family on the weekend. He likes that life. Is he devoted to doing the best that he can. I think he is also playing a long game here. I mean, he sees a future for himself as a prominent voice in the party regardless of what happens in the president ial election. And he will be. If donald trump is president , i think paul ryan has a voice. You know, a strong voice for certain segment of the party. If Hillary Clinton is president , likewise. He will ensure a good place for a future run potentially. Now is your chance,sxe to vote at home. You may disagree with all of us here. Vote on twitter. Do you believe Speaker Paul Ryan when he says he no not accept the g. O. P. Nomination . Tweet yes or no using greta. We will show you live twitter vote throughout the show. Daniel, he is going to be he is the chairman of the convention. That must be a great job. Ln yeah. [ laughter ] and by great job you mean terrible job. I mean terrible job. Look, you are going to witness history. So are the rest of us there on the sidelinesqatz watching on tv. Were going to be witnessing it, too. Exactly it looks like its shaping up that one side is going to be very, very unhappy with the results. And he is. Whats the tipoff to that . I dont know. Maybe months of just watching. But, one side is going to be extremely annoyed with or perhaps worse threaten to leave the Republican Party. Perhaps certain people will over the results of the nominating process, no matter what the outcome is at this point. And so there is a lot of ways he can lose. And its not this is like the least enviable job that
and probably being rnc chairman. Look at the numbers, 56 dont believe him and 44 dont. 56 dont believe me either. Its almost comical at this point. He might be around 20 20 in terms of the president. His kids will be older. There is a longterm scenario for him on the ticket. Anyway, here are the numbers. They are changing. We will keep an eye on them throughout the show. Anyway, thank you both. Actually, i need to have both of you to stay with us. Secretary Hillary Clinton taking heat for a racially charged joke did. She cross the line . Thats next. Also, the down and dirty delegate fight. Donald trump again insisting the system is rigid. We will take you back to the campaign trail coming up. Equite that consolidates
