Think they really wanted to discuss unity and i like discussing unity, too. Life, i mean, people wouldnt sort of understand, this a lot of people. Its been about unity. I get along with people. I get along with them very well. We had a very good we had a very good meeting with the rnc. Donald . Did you or did they call it. I think it was probably mutually called. We have been talking and we have been dealing a lot. We have been tabulating up, as you know, missouri just came in. Tabulation. We actually picked up all right. No, i know, but someone had to pick up the phone or send the email or the text to the other. Im just curious if they are the ones. Im not even sure. I think it was very mutually set up and i was in washington because we had a Foreign Policy team meeting today. People that we met on board. Im setting up a board with various people having to Foreign Policy and then i go back shortly tomorrow. Im back to wisconsin and i look forward to that we just had a great poll i picked up quite a bit in terms of the wisconsin vote. Nationwide were leading big wig. Thats why the rnc want to do meet. The reason i ask, donald, last night i told the folks right before the taping of the show i got a call from leadership at the rnc and they want to do talk about this thing that i have been talking about a few days now this whether or not rules can be changed at the convention, at the rnc convention. Interestingly after the show last night, i got another call from rnc leadership and they want to do talk about the same thing. So, and i keep trying to find out if that can happen. Instead of hearing it, i went and did my own homework and it turns out and i want you to weigh in on this because i think this is extremely important, actually to all of 3 g. O. P. Nominees. 42 rules in themv rnc handbook. Rule 42 says rules 24 through 42 are deemed necessary. The problem is 1237 rule that says the majority plus one gets the nomination falls at rule 40 b and e, so basic lit 1237 number is a temporary rule that they can change at the convention. Did you address that with the rnc . We really didnt. I think it would be hard to discuss that, frankly and maybe to do something about that. As far as im concerned i think were going to meet that number. I will say this, if we are close to that number, because we are way ahead of cruz and way ahead of kasich. Donald, even if you get 1237 or 1240, they will say you know instead of a majority the rules Committee Says its going to be a super majority and you are going to need 1600. No, that wont happen. We have millions of people more than anybody else. I have millions and millions more people than anybody else. Whats happened is has been a phenomena. Its been reported all over. One of the big stories in politics worldwide the republican count for votes is up so much since four years ago like some of the places are up over 100 percent. Lines are a blocks long. Its amazing. I dont think anybody would think about playing around with that. Maybe you should get ryans and the rnc to sign a pledge. I will go a step further though i think if we get the 1237, if we break the 1237 thats fine. I think, frankly, if you look at it, we had many, many people running so that many of those early primaries we would have, you know, 10 people and seven people and six people would have a lot of people in them. And its very, very hard to break that number, despite that i think i will break that number. However, if we are millions of votes ahead of everyone else and hundreds of delegates ahead of everyone else, i really think that whoever has that kind of an advantage should get it i think its awfully hard to take that away. This is donald trump just post a meeting with the rnc. Viewers take that how you will. That took some of thew; attention away from a firestorm you set off yesterday after your interview about what should happen to women who get abortions if the procedure becomes illegal. I want to play it for our folks. Do you believe in punishment for abortion . As a principle . The answer is that there there has to be some form of punishment. For the woman. Yeah for. 10 years. I dont know. Why not. You take positions on everything else. I do take positions on everything else. Its a very complicated position. I know you have since clarified your point in written statements. I have clarified it you really ought to heart whole thing. This is a long convoluted question. This is a long discussion and they just cut it out and, frankly, it was extremely it was really convoluted if, in fact, abortion was outlawed the person performing the abortion, the doctor or whoever it may be that is really doing the act is response cybil for the act not the woman is responsible. So thats the way i have always felt. I have had the same i have had the same stance exactly as ronald reagan. I mean, i have had and i have had it from the beginning. My stance is the exact same as ronald reagans. At love people are making a lot of the hay out of, this donald. Did you misspeak . Did you misunderstand the question . It could be that i misspoke. But this was a long, convoluted subject. We talked about catholicism and his religion. And, you know, chris went back and forth about that and this was a very long, convoluted discussion which, frankly, they dont want on television because it was too long. You know, just as i said it, and i must tell you this is the same my stance is the same stance as ronald reagan. And, if, in fact,yn abortion was outlined, the person performing that act is responsible, north the woman. Okay. Another topic that came up last night was Nuclear Proliferation, idea not whether people would getp3 it how we would respond, keeping things on or off the table. You can tell the middle east we are not using a nuclear weapon. I would never take any of my cards off the table. How about europe . Im not going to take it off the table. You might use it in europe. No, i dont think so. Just say it. I would never use it. Ig;hnc not taking cards off the table. Im not using nukes but im not taking cards off the table. Okay. Whats that all about . I dont want to take cards off the table. I would never do that. The last person to press that button would be me im the one that didnt want to go into iraq from the very beginning. The last person that wants to play the nuclear card believe me is me. You can never take cards off the table either from moral standpoint especially negotiating standpoint. I understand they are not taking the cards off the table for isis or islamic terror. When chris expanded to europe, what about that . Europe is a big place. Im not going to take cards off the table. We have nuclear capability. Now, our capability is going down rapidly because of what were doing. Its in bad shape the equipment is not properly maintained. Thats a bad thing not a good thing. The last person to use nuclear would be donald trump. Thats the way i feel. I think its a horrible thing. The thought of it is horrible. I dont want to take anything off the table. We have to negotiate. There will be times maybe when were going knob a very deep,xp very difficult, very horrible negotiation. The last person im not going to take it off the table. I said it yesterday. And i stay with it. Donald, you said had you a meeting or you were gathering a group of Foreign Policy experts. Anyone in particular we should know about . We would like to know. Who re r. They . Actually tomorrow we are releasing the group. And we had some really good people today. We had some amazing discussions. And this topic of nuclear was discussed. And everybody agrees with me. You dont take it off the table. Why would we take to have the table . Its a very strong negotiating point. Hopefully we would never have to use it, even as a negotiating point. But, certainly you dont take it off the table. We had a group of very talented people. This is all they do. And, actually, a number of them commented that what i said was absolutely correct as to nuclear. Now, they also felt i was right as to nato. Because were paying a disproportionate share of nato. And nato is largely obsolete. Its got to be restructured and its got to be changed. And other countries have to pay some of the bill. We owe, eric, 19 trillion. And we cant go around being the policemen of the world and supporting a big i think its 72 or 73 of nato and other countries are benefiting were paying the tab. Key cant continue to do that. A lot of people on the left saying you want to disband nato. I dont understand that. Ache, let me clarify. I never said that i dont want to disband nato but i dont want to pay for a vast majority of the cost of nato, either its benefiting all of these countries, you have 28 countries in there. Its benefiting all of these countries. Some of them pay peanuts. Its not fair. We have to be treated treated fairly worldwide whether its nato or trade or anything else we are not being treated fairly. Are these going to be advisors to you or just the back and forth you want too. C do have a discussion. No. These wont be advisors. People, very respected people these people would be advisors. Thank you very much. Thank you very much. Next on the rundown, powerful reaction from the cruz and kasich camps. Stay tuned. I take these out. To put in dr. Scholls active series insoles. They help reduce wear and tear on my legs, becuase they have triple zone protection. And reduce shock by 40 . So i feel like im ready to take on anything. As a combination of see products.

And that unlimited 2 cash back from spark means thousands of dollars each year going back into my business. Thats huge for my bottom line. Whats in your wallet . Of paragraph in the impact segment tonight, reaction to our interview with donald trump, joining us now from houston alice Stuart Communications director for the Cruz Campaign and from washington trent duffy, spokesman for the kasich campaign. Alice, your thoughts on what did you hear and what did you learn . What stood out for you on that interview. Well, first and foremost, lets take a look at what he said with regard to punishing women who receive an abortion if the procedures were banned. Look, this just goes to show abo fundamental knowledge about what the prolife issue is all about. And when were looking at the issue as important as the sanctity of life, this is more than just about the unborn child. This is also about the mother and having a culture of respect for women and making this important decision. But yet again this is yet another example that donald trump and his culture of lack of respect for women is coming through here. And it should not ever be about punishing women. Its about protecting lives. Do you accept what he said he may have misspoke and about the doctor being punished. Know said exactly what he wanted to say and his team followed one what needed to be said. The fact that he didnt know how to respond to that question about not punishing women in a difficult time like that just goes to underscore the fact that he has no fundamental understanding of the important issues that Republican Voters need and who they are going to elect as their nominee. Trent, one of the other things that we talked about quite extensively is this meeting with the rnc where the rnc has sounded dont forget this is Donald Trumps first reaction after the meeting with the rnc, sounded like he was very optimistic. He talked about unity quite a bit. Do you think the rnc is coming around to the potential of a donald Trump Nominee . Well, speak for the rnc, there is one thing that donald trump has done to unify people. He has unified the prochoice and Prolife Movement rarely happens in american politics. Okay, maybe he wants a doover on this one. But now he is asking for a couldover to say that nato is something that we need to rethink. He didnt ask for a doover that said that the rules that protect our men and women and our military through the Geneva Convention should be trashed. He hasnt withdrawn his insults about women, including mrs. Cruz, Carly Fiorina and megyn kelly. He keeps asking for doovers extending his remarks. I agree wholeheartedly with alice that he is not ready to be the president of the United States. He is not ready to be the commander and chief. I mean, this might qaddafi him to qualify him to be the president of delta house but not the president of the United States and the white house. All right, alice, the other topic we talked about Nuclear Proliferation of the world, frankly and at one point donald trump said not only am i concerned about that but i also want to make sure that our use of nuclear that he holds all the cards. Your thoughts . Well, look, again, another example that he doesnt understand the basic issues that a president ial candidate needs to be understanding when theyre running for president. This right here, the nuclear issue, is an extremely dangerous one. Look, is he throwing Nuclear Weapons around like they are softballs. And that is not what we need of someone who would potentially lead the republican party. Look, as a commander and chief, do you need to have all resources at your disposal, when it comes to defending our nation. But, when we are talking about our european allies and those many that are members of nato, ted cruz has made it abun dancely clear its virtually impossible to come up with a scenario in which the use of Nuclear Weapons would be needed and thats something that certainly needed to be point out. And for donald not to know that right off the top of his head as a fundamental understanding goes to show that he is way out of his league and he is way behind in putting together a Foreign Policy team to give him the knowledge of rebuilding our military and strengthening our relationships with our allies that needs to be a top priority. Trent, alice says that donald trump is way behind in putting together Foreign Policy team. Thats the other thing he said thats actually he said the reason he was in d. C. Was to put together that Foreign Policy team. Do you also agree . Is it too late . Well, i dont know. I think he is just making it up as he goes along. If he doesnt have a Foreign Policy team in place, and if he doesnt have a Foreign Policy agenda, and if he doesnt have a grasp on the way the world actually is, and thinks that the United States most important Strategic Alliance nato is something that we should rethink entirely, why is he doing interviews with the New York Times talking about all these Foreign Policy positions . It seems to me that a president ial candidate, who wants to lead the free world needs to develop their positions ahead of time before they go and talk about them. I think alice is exactly right. He makes it up as he goes along and then he redistracts and changes things as people try to trash him. The sad part is,ache, we are not talking about how to create a single job. Were not talking about how to get america moving together again. We are not talking about the reasons why people are ticked off at washington. Because washington is broken. And its not working for the men and women of this country. Thats what we need to be talking about more. One of the other things thats come up over the last couple of days is all three of the g. O. P. Nominees or candidates have said they would not back the other ones if they were the eventual nominee. Alice, will ted cruz back a donald trump if he were the nominee . Well,like, eric, its abundantly clear that when that pledge was made, americans have learned quite a lot about all of the candidates, particularly donald trump. And most importantly, the way he treats women and his complete disrespect for a lot of women that have been part of this process, including your colleague megyn kelly and Carly Fiorina and his insulting comments and tweets he has made about heidi cruz. And ted has made it quite clear he does not make a habit out of supporting people who are disrespectful. Is that a no . To his wife. Is that a no. At the end of the day he believes donald trump is not going to be the nominee. I have heard that answer over and over. Im just looking for a simple yes or no. Already john kasich support a donald Trump Nominee if that the case. He said today he would have to think long and hard about that i think will stick to that to pick up on what alice said, 75 of women view donald trump negatively. Is he not going to be the nominee of the republican party. He is not going to become president of the United States thankfully. I have got to leave it right there. Its a yes or no, guys. Dr. Ben,v carson take as shot at the g. O. P. Establishment saying many republicans would rather see Hillary Clinton in the white house over donald trump. Well take a hard look at that in just a melt just a moment. In the factor followup segment tent, donald trump and the republican establishment as we mentioned trump met with the rnc today. Last night though dr. Ben carson made some very provocative comments about who he thinks many g. O. P. Elites would secretly prefer in the white house. Im starting to think that many of the socalled republican establishment. Of course, they say there is no such thing, we dont exist. But
