D of the day from ben in canada, no gaskinating. Tomorrow an africanamerican woman lawyer on trump. Again, thanks for watching you tonight. Ill bill oreilly. Please all remember the spin stops here. Were definitely looking out for you. Breaking tonight, president ial candidate senator ted cruz firing back after taking a big hit from one of the bestknown republicans in the country. Welcome to the kelly file, everyone. Im megyn kelly. Just hours after senator cruz declared that Carly Fiorina would be his running mate john boehner singlehandedly managed to upstage the fiorina news with a very blunt interview at stanford university. A no holds barred when it came to boehners former congressional colleague. Watch. Some of the other people running for the highest people in the land how about ted cruz . It is no secret that Speaker Boehner and senator cruz had their clashes on capitol hill but that did not stop this headline from becoming the top story in the country today. And tonight we have republican president ial candidate senator ted cruz here to respond to that among other things. Senator, great to see you. Thanks for being here. What do you make of lucifer in the flesh . Hes never worked with a more
miserable son of a b and over his dead body will you be president . Well you know i think that reveals everything thats wrong with washington. Lets start with a little bit of facts. He claims hes never worked with anyone more miserable. I dont know john boehner. He and i have never worked together. Ive probably met him two, three, four times in my life. Id be surprised if we said 50 words to each other and everything weve ever said has been empty pleasantries, good to see you, mr. Speaker. His claim hes never worked with anyone more unpleasant, weve never worked together. In fact during the government shutdown, i reached out and offered for mike lee and me to go over and sit down with the speaker and the majority leader and the response i got was, no interest. Theres no point in talking. We have nothing to say to you. So i dont know the guy. But you know what was striking megyn, in that same interview boehner reveals that he is texting and golfing buddies with donald trump. He thinks donald trump is terrific. He also praised hilarylary clinton. If you want to see what is wrong
with the corruption in washington with the washington establishment and the system, john boehner and donald trump and Hillary Clinton, theyre all part of the same problem. And the reason john boehner they would argue thats you bond a little, go out on the links. I dont know what im talking about. Links thats what you do. And you bond. Thats how you get deals done. Well theres a reason that donald trump gave 100,000 to John Boehners super pac that he texts back and forth with the speaker, that theyre golfing buddies. If you think john boehner is the kind of leader you want in the Republican Party, then donald trump is your guy. If you think harry reid and nancy pelosi are good leaders in congress, then donald trump is your guy because donald trump has given big checks to harry reid and nancy pelosi and hilary clint am. You know what i find interesting real quickly, is that donald is trying very hard and the media is trying very hard to paint him as somehow standing up to the
system. Donald trump and Hillary Clinton and john boehner are the system. And the reason john boehner is mad at me is that i stood with the people who elected me and led the fight to repeal obamacare, to stop amnesty, to stop the debt. And nothing washington hates more than its not just that. I want to shift gears. Thats enough on john boehner. He doesnt like being held accountable. Were giving him too much time. I want to talk about Carly Fiorina. Absolutely. She is beloved by many republicans, and yet a lot of people yesterday said well, this is just a stunt. Hes 400 delegates away from securing the nomination. Trump is way ahead of him in the popular vote 3 million or so. Whats he doing naming a running mate . Whats your answer . Well listen number one, carly is fantastic. Shes a strong leader. It illustrates the kind of team that will be in the administration if im elected president. But number two, this is an unusual year by any measure, and
this nomination, naming her as my vp nominee, ensures that we have a clear choice in this election between carly and me on the one side, a positive optimistic, conservative, forwardlooking campaign with real policy solutions to bring jobs back to america, to raise wages, to bring manufacturing jobs back to america, to defend the constitution and bill of rights and keep us safe versus on the other hand donald trump and Hillary Clinton which are flip sides of the same coin. They are both the washington establishment. Theyre both the system. Donald trump and Hillary Clinton agree on planned parenthood. Donald trump and Hillary Clinton agree in many respects on obamacare. They agree on being neutral between israel and the palestinians. And the contrast the voters in indiana and Going Forward deserve a clear choice between carly and me on the one hand a pz tiff optimistic conservative campaign, and donald trump and Hillary Clinton both of whom have gotten rich buying and selling influence in washington, d. C. He denies that. Just for the record, he denies that hes for obamacare. He says hes very against it. I want to ask about the delegate count. Lets be clear, megyn. I dont want to talk about obamacare. He just for the record says he wants to repeal it. Megyn true or false, he says he supports the mandate in obamacare. He said it once and took it back. Its true. True or false, he said that the government should provide health care for everyone . He said that agreed. Facts matter. He said that. I got it. Hes just not here to defend himself. We cant just dismiss it. He said its not true. He said it multiple times on television looking in the camera. He said the government will take care of it. He wants to take care of everyone and the government will pay for it. Thats the truth. But megyn hell say youre lying for repeating what hes saying. Let me ask you this. But he wants to expand it. Ette doesnt think it goes far enough. I dont like it. Im going to repeal every word of it. He likes some form ofGovernment Health care is your point, whatever its called. He likes massive Government Health care. He invokes scotland and canada. If youre a Small Business owner donald trump and Bernie Sanders are both going to increase the burdens on you. Im going to repeal every word of it. Thats why we need a clear contrast. Donald trump and hillary are both pretending to be something theyre not. You mentioned that. Im trying to ask you about something that is concerning to your supporters who understand how important indiana is to your campaign. But the polls are showing that people, some 65 of republicans, even people who support ted cruz, believe the person who enters the convention with the most delegates and the most votes should likely emerge as the nominee, even if it takes even if he doesnt have a majority. Right now as i mentioned he has 400 more dellegates than you do,
three 3. 2 million more popular votes. How could you possibly unite this party coming out of a contested convention . Let me answer it a couple of ways. Number one nobody is going to get to 1237. Donald is not getting there. Im not getting there. Donald cant get there. Its why hes so desperately trying to convince he can get there if he wins in indiana and does well in california. But hes not going to. He is not going to. Hes not going to get to 1237. Even when folks try to do all sorts of math he falls short. Were going to a contested convention. Listen, the poll you cited, of course people say yes to that poll. If you called someone up and said, should the person with the most votes win . Anyone goes duh, yeah. How about asking the question that is really the relevant question. Should you have to earn a majority to be the nominee . Thats a fair point. I agree 60 to 70 will say yes to that as well. Thats a poll question thats rigged. The trumpsters pushes it out there because it suggests if
you ask anyone should the person with the most votes win . Of course. But his argument is he should be the nominee even though he cant win a majority. Let me tell you we are headed to cleveland. There will be a contested convention. Donald trump wont get to 1237. And when that happen shgz the highest vote total trump ever has will be the first vote total. He will go steadily down. I believe what were seeing is the Republican Party uniting and megyn thats one of the reasons people are so excited with my name and carly as my vp. Because carly is an incredible has an incredible ability to unify and bring this party together. Its why 5 of the 17 republican candidates who started have endorsed my Campaign Including carly, scott walker and jeb bush and Lindsey Graham and rick perry. We are uniting the party. How can you say that . The critics say youre not uniting them. When they look at what happened on tuesday. You lost five states didnt even get 25 of the vote. You know it was the northeast, not a ted cruz tailormade
election. Your critics say donald trump may not be uniting them given never trump and so on, but nor are you. Well megyn, listen, donald won his home state and won states immediately next to his home state. Thats terrific. He did well in the northeast. What i can tell you is right before that we won five states in a row, five states in a row one after the other after the other from utah to north dakota to wisconsin to colorado to wyoming. How confident are you in indiana . I hope we will do well. Were campaigning and barnstorming. And were working to earn the votes. Listen, i will say this. I have a great deal of confidence in the midwestern good sense and good judgment of the hoosiers state. And the people of indiana are deciding, do we want to nominate a Campaign Based on yelling and screaming and cursing and insults . Or do we want a campaign with Real Solutions . You know its been 48 days since the last Republican Debate . I think the people of indiana deserve a debate. And by the way, today donald trump gave a speech once again
screaming that im a liar because i did what you did earlier on the show. I actually pointed out his real record and what he says. And when you do that tell the truth about donald, he call uz a liar. Donald, ive got a great idea. Lets have a debate in indiana. And lets talk about what you believe and what i believe and in particular solutions to bring jobs back to america. Ive got a real economic agenda to bring manufacturing jobs back to indiana, to raise wages. Donald doesnt know how to solve these problems which is why hes unwilling to debate. I have to leave it there, senator. By the way, we have a new website cruz carly. Com. Great to see you. Thanks for being here senator cruz. Always a pleasure megyn.

Thank you. Melania trump usually gets a warm welcome from her husbands supporters on the campaign trail, but today she got a harsh lesson in the downside of the political spotlight. Gq magazine publishing a controversial profile on mrs. Trump including details on her life from koz melt ick procedures to revelations of a secret halfbrother. Now she is firing back saying in part, quote, there are numerous inaccuracies in this article including certain statements of my family and personal matters. The author of the article is standing by her reporting. The piece went through thorough fact checking. It was also vetted by gqs legal team. The things that i think what shes alluding to is the fact that we found her halfbrother from her father impregnated another woman before he met her mother. She has a halfbrother living in slovenia she didnt know about. Joining me now with more fox
news media buzz host howard kurtz. Howie, good to see you. So was this a fair piece or not a fair piece . Another trump disgusted by the media. Melania has a point. Why on earth is it necessary to publish a piece about melanias father back in slovenia back in 1965, back before he met melanias mother getting involved in a paternity lawsuit and having to pay child suit support to a son that everyone glees she hasnt met. What does this have to do with the potential first lady . Why do we care . How does this relate to the vote if 2016 . Exactly. I mean, its an invasion of privacy. She asked the magazine not to publish it. The dad is hardly a public figure. It teamfeels like an attempt to get headline. This wreaks of condescension. Theres the 100,000 dior Wedding Dress that the laborers that piece didnt bother me. Thats what her Wedding Dress cost. They had a fancy wedding. So what . Its a vision into the
lifestyles of the rich and famous. Then we have the supposed friend, blind quote, saying she is not a bimbo, but shes not especially clever. There you go. Now the author of this piece makes the decision on whether or not to include a line like that. Go ahead. With nobodys name attached. But there was some investigative reporting in the piece into whether or not melania had had a boob job. Which she denies. Glad we have that figured out. And the other thing is, i was reading it. I want to give the author the benefit of the doubt because you know the media especially in articles, they try to be more provocative a piece like this, gq, they try to be titillating. But man, its clear because she talks about how when he met her he was 52 she was 28. A tall shy brunette whose face had yet to acquire the taut mras ta seen squint that looks like cameras are ever catching her a second before a sneeze. I mean, wow. You walk away thinking that the
author does not like Melania Trump and we should not know that if that is how she feels. Right. There was a lot of reporting in this, but i think heres the bottom line. Melania trump who ive met a couple of times is somebody who is a mom, who has a traditional role in a traditional family who doesnt like the spotlight and doesnt particularly want to talk publicly about politics. And for that this manhatta
