David and robin. We are sure you will. Thank you. The race for the white house, john kasich is standing by to talk to us live here in the studio. All eyes, of course, on wisconsin, the next state to vote and what could be a critical turning point. Donald trump trailing ted cruz in a new poll there and Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton in a very tight race, as well. Abcs cecilia vega is here with the latest. Reporter good morning to you. Wisconsin is the state to win right now. But the trouble for donald trump extends far beyond that new poll. This morning his comments on abortion have him caught in the crosshairs of a major firestorm and even the biggest antiabortion groups say he is wrong. They are the comments sparking backlash from inside his own party and beyond. I am against i am prolife, yes. Reporter donald trump in an msnbc forum asked if abortion becomes illegal, should women who have the procedure be punished . His answer the answer is that there has to be some form of punishment. For the woman . Yeah, there has to be some form. Ten years that, i dont know. Why not . You have positions on everything else. Its a complicated position. Reporter is the man who gets her pregnant responsible . I would say no. Reporter the outcry instant from antiabortion groups to his republican rivals who oppose abortion rights. Its difficult enough situation and to try to punish somebody. Being prolife is not only about defending the unborn children its also about defending the mothers, defending the women who have the incredible gift of bringing life into the world. Reporter to his rivals across the aisle. What he said today is just among the most outrageous and dangerous statements that ive heard anybody running for president say in a really long time. To punish a woman for having an abortion is beyond comprehension. Reporter but then a political aboutface just hours after those controversial remarks. The republican frontrunner reversing himself saying in a statement the doctor or any other person performing this illegal act upon a woman would be held legally responsible, not the woman. The woman is a victim in this case. Challenger ted cruz firing off overnight on jimmy kimmel. If i were in my car and getting ready to reverse and saw donald in the backup camera, im not confident which pedal id push. [ applause ] reporter well, it didnt take long. Hillary clinton is already turning these comments into a fundraising tactic sending an email to supporters saying, quote, donald trump wants to punish women for making our own health care decisions, even though he reversed his position, his opponents are not backing away from this one, robin. The big question is will this hurt him . He is already seeing his popularity with women slip. All right, cecilia, well, republican president ial candidate john kasich is joining us now live here in the studio. Its a marathon, not a sprint when youre running for president. Thank you very much for taking the time to be here. My pleasure. You just recently released a statement this morning and in part you said the past 24 hours revealed in the clearest way yet that donald trump is not prepared to be president. Why . I mean, first of all, his comments on abortion. I knew hed reverse them right after he said them when he left the studio. Secondly, i mean he talked about using Nuclear Weapons in europe. He talked about abolishing nato. He said his Supreme Court justice would investigate hillarys emails, that would be one of the reasons why they would be picked. He even said that we should get rid of the Geneva Convention so that, you know, the Geneva Convention guides the way we treat people on the battlefield. Its like a panoply of mistakes and outrageous statements. With donald its a stream of consciousness but, robin, were dealing in such a serious time with the problem of global security, terrorism and here at home very poor economic growth, people feeling as though they have got no future. You cant operate like this. You are going to be president of the United States. People around the world must be having a field day and you know what donald ought to be happy about, jon stewart isnt running the daily show . People have often talked about that. In the past youve been asked is he fit to be commander in chief and hesitated to respond but because of all that was said yesterday i never said fit. I will use the word unfit when theres no coming back. I dont believe donald trump is going to be the nominee and this underscores his problem. This is why i stay in the race. Look, people say why does he stay in the race . What am i supposed to get out and leave it to these guys . You know, cruz is out there saying we ought to start patrolling muslim neighborhoods. I mean, do you think were going to get intelligence information from the Muslim Community when we are targeting them and isolating them . Its just one its either no record or things that are coming out of donalds mouth that are just basically irresponsible. He mentioned riots at the convention, so, look, i have two 16yearold daughters and at the end of the day i will have to explain to them if im not the nominee who im supporting and why. And you in getting that nomination, a contested convention which is why donald trump said there would be riots, if there was a contested convention. What is your path . How can you become the gop nominee . Ted cruz would have to get about 90 of the delegates Going Forward which hes not going to get. Trump would have to have nearly 60 which hes never coming close to. Now in new york and pennsylvania, once we get beyond wisconsin ill get pick some delegates up there and i will begin to roll up delegates. I will have momentum going into the convention and, robin, the reason is i have a record of economic growth, National Security experience and results. And at some point theyll think about who can be president , who would be a good president and let me tell you one other thing, id beat Hillary Clinton in every National Poll in the country. Even here in new york, donald trump trails her by 20 points. I trail her by 5 in new york. I mean thats unbelievable. So im going to be able to compete all across the political map and i just going to get to the convention. I know you want to talk about what your world view is. You stated what donald trump had said and included nato is, quote, obsolete. What is your world view to keep america safe . Were going to destroy isis along with our friends in europe and with us being the leader but then beyond that, nato needs to be transformed into an organization that does intelligence gathering and policing. It appears over in europe as though theyre just dysfunctional, bureaucracy, political correctness, its not working. The president of the United States needs to take lemons and turn it into lemonade by leading and getting these countries to realize that civilization is at stake. Thats what were talking about, robin. You know the way these islamists would feel about you as a woman being on television, this would be the most outrageous thing that they could see, so it is civilization versus a group of people who are intent on destroying us and what we represent. So were going to have to move expeditiously, good intelligence, human intelligence and here at home joint Terrorism Task forces with fbi homeland security, state and local Law Enforcement who have the tools and resources to protect us. That is what we need to be doing. You have been very clear from the getgo what your plan is for that and other issues. Again, thank you for being here in new york and i cant let you go. Youre eating pizza with a fork . Look, robin, look, look, the pizza came scalding hot, okay. And so i use a little fork. You know what my wife who is on spring break with my daughters said, im proud of you. You finally learned how to use a utensil properly but i mean not only did i eat the pizza i had the hot sausage. It was fantastic. But heres what ive learned. I came to new york. There were like 100 press people there. Get ready, john, because ill be spending a lot of time in new york. New yorkers eat their pizza a certain way, just saying, not just new yorkers but around the world. Listen, i was eating pizza before that reporter was even born so ill let you get that line back. One last thing, i want to Say Something about the people at abc. Robin, for six months they gave you a chance to get your health back. Yes. For six months they never replaced your seat. I dont think if it would have taken a year they would have kept it open. A lot of organizations would run over people who got sick. You know what, a salute to abc, the management for saying that Robin Roberts and her ability to recover and get on her feet is critical. Thats an example to the rest of the country about how we treat people. We have to treat them like theyre in our own family. Thats very kind of you to say. God bless the network here. Thank you. Thank you for coming here. Youre welcome. Thank you. I appreciate that. David. All right, robin. Thanks very much. More on the race for the white house this morning. Abcs matthew dowd has been listening in on the conversation with governor kasich. As you know, donald trump has said a lot of things in the campaign along the way. Critics pouncing every single time saying this will be the thing that hurts donald trump but was this different . Well, when you run a seat of the Pants Campaign sometimes the pants wear thin and you get exposed and in the course of this, i think donald trump its a cumulative effect, david and this is another thing, a big thing i think, a big problematic thing in the course of what happened yesterday that its a cumulative effect that weighs him down. The other part, we are in a moment now where we are approaching april. Were getting close to the convention and people are getting really serious about who they want to see as president. So as you make mistakes later in a campaign, it has a much more profound effect. In the middle of a primary and heard governor kasich with robin. You have a lot of people focusing on the general up against Hillary Clinton. You heard her there. In cecilias piece, the immediate tweet after donald trump just when you thought it couldnt get worse, horrific and telling, Hillary Clinton tweeted. Was this a gift for the clinton camp . Oh, it was a gift wrapped with a bow and everything sparkles all over it. It was perfect for them. I mean, donald trump already has a problem for the general election. If you look at the voters who havent participated in primaries he is viewed very unfavorably especially by women. So for Hillary Clinton if shes the democratic nominee, obviously shes still got a race with Bernie Sanders in the course of this. If she is this is one more example where all she has to use is Donald Trumps own words in a commercial that will really harm him. All right, matt dowd with us, we appreciate your insight. Over to you, robin. Now to a terror plot stopped just in time. Authorities saying they stopped a, quote, imminent attack in france. Arresting a suspect with an arsenal of explosives and guns. Abcs Alex Marquardt is in paris and has the latest for us. Good morning, alex. Reporter good morning, robin. Thats right. Had all the makings of another parisstyle attack. The authorities saying they stopped the plot in its final stages and reports from brussels there are raids ongoing connected to the man at the center of it all. It was here that reda kriket, a 34yearold frenchman was planning what authorities now say was an imminent attack on french soil. When the police raided the apartment which kriket rented under a fake name and paid for in cash they found an arsenal that the paris prosecutor found unprecedented. Five ak47 rifles, 7 handguns, tatp, the explosive used in both the paris and brussels isis attacks. Detonators, acid and thousands of ball bearings. Now kriket has been charged with preparing an attack and participating in a terror group. Hes not believed to have been acting alone. At least four others linked to kriket have been detained in holland and belgium in the past few days. Krikets ties to terror were well known. He was sentenced in absentia last year for being part of a network recruiting jihadists to fight in syria, which he did himself. Sentenced with him the paris attacks ringleader, abdelhamid abaaoud. And confirmation that there is a second suspect on the run connected to the brussels attacks. The man in the hat at the airport and sources telling us there was a second man seen by surveillance camera at the metro station that was attacked. Those two, the most wanted men in europe. Back to you. All right, alex, thanks so much. Back to ginger now. The wind here in the northeast again today . Yeah, really windy. The gusts up to 60 miles per hour. Thats why we have boston in a wind advisory back to buffalo, wind advisories too as that same storm system comes our way, you see some of the mild weather out ahead of it. Very strong south to southwesterly winds, 75, philly, 70, new york city. The rain will start overnight for a lot of coastal cities. Good morning, meteorologist mike nicco has the bay area forecast.

Well, lets finish this with a happy story, everybody. Looks like humans are not the only ones obsessed with selfies. Take a look at this picture coming from china this morning. A panda bonding with his zookeeper and sees the camera. The potential for a selfie, the big cub doesnt hesitate to put his arm around and pose for a few shots with his master, i guess youd call him. Later they even checked out the photos together. I mean that is real love. No zipper on that suit. That is a real bear. That is so cool. Look at him checking himself
