bring they will back to justice. i ve become a manhunter. i m out there looking for bad guys. north central iowa, really. kind of in the heart of corn country. a bunch of cozy folks, friendly. it is a nice quiet old town. mid-november is the busiest time for most grain elevators. that s when we receive our corn. every four to five days we load 100 cars. and ship them out to locations in the u.s. october 14th. after we got the first 25 cars started loading, i went out by myself to start opening the lids on the second set of 25 cars. it was locked. i remember unlocking the latch. i ve done that hundreds if not thousands of times before. and never, ever had anything close to something like this happen. it was a beautiful fall day. i snuck out a little early to do some scuba diving. i was on the dive rescue team and i knew there would not be many days left in the fall that i could get out and do some training. i had just gotten out of the water when my radio went off. so without going home or changing, i just went immediately to the scene. i was unsure of what they were talking about. my assumption was somebody had just been just died in some kind of accident. it took a long time for me to really study the scene and try to understand what i was looking at. it wasn t what i expected. whatever had transpired there had transpired months prior to coming to denison. when the railroad got involved, they were able to determine that the train had come from mexico and was sidelined in oklahoma for about four months. we were pretty sure that we were dealing with somebody that was trying to enter the united states illegally. they had probably entered the railroad car on their own free will but then somebody had closed the latch and locked it so that it couldn t be opened. this is a case of illegal immigrants where the trafficker, the coyotes, are directly responsible for their horrible deaths. since the crime scene was on wheels, which was very unique, it occurred to us that we might be able to just move the railroad car to the crime lab in des moines. the smuggling goes all over the world and it s been going on as long as there s been people. they are in it for the business and it is a business and it s a very big business, a very lucrative business. it pays very well. and to smugglers, people are goods. these were 11 human beings who trusted the smugglers. somebody was responsible for these 11 people who had died. to find out who these smugglers were, first, big job, was to identify the victims. second, to cover every inch of that grain car for clues. in any investigation, examination of clothing and personal effects are part of the autopsy and they can have very important pieces of information in both how it identifies a person and sometimes what happened to that person. some of the very first things that we looked at were documents. and these were forged documents. we had at least two people that were from mexico. at least one guatemalan that we can tell. we have some documents from honduras and we found some pieces of paper, just little scratch notes of paper with names or telephone numbers. somebody who might have been waiting for them, somebody who might have paid the smuggler or maybe information about the smuggler themselves. somebody was responsible for these 11 people who had perished inside this car and we felt that we were now on the right track to finding these people and holding them accountable for it. we received a phone call from a person in new york. everybody s heard the phrase, a big break in the case. the biggest break in the case was when eliseo, looking desperately to find his brother, called the cops. the name we had was guillermo madrigal ballesteros. musical chairs. fun, right? welllllllll, not when your travel rewards card makes it so hard to get a seat using your miles. that s their game. the flights you want are blacked out. or they ask for some ridiculous number of miles. honestly, it s time to switch to the venture card from capital one. with venture, use your miles on any airline, any flight, any time. no blackout dates. and with every purchase, you ll earn unlimited double miles. from now on, no one s taking your seat away. what s in your wallet? i m spending too much time hiring and not enough time in my kitchen.

who come into the united states illegally are coming here, most of them, in search of a better life. they want to live the american dream. if you live in poverty in central america and you have ten kids and you don t have indoor plumbing and you can t feed your family and there is no future for you, you re going to make that dangerous trip. you re going to save that money and you re going to get every relative to say, send me to america and i ll send you money home. somebody was responsible for these 11 people who had perished inside of this car and we were looking for somebody that we were going to hold accountable for. we received a phone call from a person in new york. this man told us about his young brother that he was waiting for and how he was afraid that one of those bodies was going to be his brother. my brother byron was the last one in the family, the only one living in the house with my parents. he was taking care of them. the smugglers will sometimes have recruiters who can go out and look for people, especially when you have people that are looking like they re lost. someone recruited the young byron in guatemala and helped bring him all the way to the texas border to the harlingen area in the united states. coyotes have absolute power over the people they traffic and many coyotes continue to extort money from relatives even when the person has gotten into the united states. eliseo told us that he was living in new york when his brother called him when his younger brother called him to tell him that he was in harlingen, in south texas, and he needed money to pay the smugglers. he didn t tell anybody that he was making that trip. so it was very surprising. we were not expecting that. i said to him, if you re going to make the next move right away, don t put yourself on any dangers. i d rather you be caught than anything happen to you. and he told me to also to send him $300 because he ran out of money, which that s what they wanted to move him to houston. he got a name and a phone number and a method of payment. the only thing i had to do was send him the money and my hopes were that he will call me from houston and tell me, i m here. eliseo s brother byron was 18 years old. he called him his little brother always. we were sure that he was there. we couldn t say who he was. even though we don t want to admit it, we were still hoping it wasn t him but it didn t make sense, you know, that it was one of them. with all of the violence and all this stuff going on, that s what makes us sometimes just leave the country and look for a better place to live. i mean, my brother was probably that was what he had in mind. you know, he was young. he figured he ll look for a better future. you know, we take the risk. we take the chances. unfortunately, some of us make it, some of us not. coyotes all over the world have abandoned people in the waters off of florida, children and mothers have drowned, they have abandoned them in the desert coming across into the southwest united states. a coyote is ruthless just like the coyotes in the wild. they re predators. eliseo s information was invaluable to us. a day or two after the news, he said he received a call from one of the smugglers. this person named memo who told him that he had nothing to do with it. he said, it s somebody else s fault. and this kind of stuff happens, he said. i remember i said to him, you are the worst, coldest person i ever spoke to. you knew exactly what you had and you never told us. you could have saved him. he says, well, i don t care. and i m going to tell you right now, never call me back again. in fact, this phone number isn t going to be working anymore and that was the last i heard from him. during this phone conversation, he also told him the composition of the group. he said there would be four women and seven men. and we found that quite interesting, that he would have this kind of information because it was not public information. we now know that this memo that eliseo was talking to was guillermo madrigal ballesteros, one of our smugglers, one of the main operators of this smuggling operation. we spoke to two witnesses, a couple of young girls. they saw guillermo. they remember seeing byron and some of the other individuals that were part of the denison 11. ñzóó for over 60,000 california foster children, extra curricular activities help provide a sense of identity and a path to success. joining the soccer team. getting help with math. going to prom. i want to learn to swim. it s hard to feel normal, when you can t do the normal things. to help, sleep train is collecting donations for the extra activities that, for most kids, are a normal part of growing up. not everyone can be a foster parent. but anyone can help a foster child. with the phone numbers that eliseo gave us, we were able to find a couple of houses, addresses, more western union receipts. we were also able to find vehicles because they were stationed at these houses, from these vehicles we were able to get other names of other people and it started to grow. the investigation just started to spread out. the smuggler that we identified and whose name kept coming up was guillermo madrigal ballesteros. one of the main operators of this smuggling operation. his nickname was memo. memo or don memo. memo is a familiar term. don memo is a sign of respect. the way that we believe this organization worked and it is very common with big smuggling organizations, you have your person or individuals that are in charge of overseeing the whole thing, usually on the u.s. side or on the mexican border side but close to the u.s., where they receive the goods. it s just like a drug cartel. there are four, five, six, ten, 20 people involved to find the immigrants, take their money, bring them across the border. it s illegal and many times those stories end in a horrible way. guillermo memo was in mexico bringing in people to the united states. we spoke to two witnesses, a couple of young girls, johanna and lideny who were able to provide us some invaluable information to the inside of the organization. when you listen to the terrifying accounts of what the two honduran women went through from start to finish, it kind of gives you an insight into what the journey was for the denison 11 even before they got on the grain car. [ speaking a foreign language ] the saddest thing about this journey, about this attempt to realize a dream, to get to america is the extent that the coyotes exploit these people. they sell them a bill of goods, they get together their life savings. no one tells them that their biggest enemy is going to be the coyote and that they are going to go through hell. [ speaking a foreign language ] i think in the back of their minds, every illegal immigrant knows that the journey can be a rough one. i don t think any of them want to think that the journey could end with a loss of their life. [ speaking a foreign language ] they told us about crossing the southern point of mexico, traveling through mexico to mexico city with guillermo giving instructions and being in charge of the operation from that side. [ speaking a foreign language ] [ speaking a foreign language ] i don t know if you can imagine putting your teenage daughter in the hands of a coyote saying, here s our life savings, i m going to trust it to a coyote, saying, i hope you make it. what recourse do illegal immigrants have? what can they say? a coyote ripped me off for $3,000, $8,000, left me near dead in the desert, can i get my money back? i didn t complete my journey? can i complain to somebody? they destroy your life. you re lucky if you re alive. you re lucky if you get in and if you die, who s going to care about it? these two girls tell us that they wound up in a stash house. [ speaking a foreign language ] musical chairs. fun, right? welllllllll, not when your travel rewards card makes it so hard to get a seat using your miles. that s their game. the flights you want are blacked out. or they ask for some ridiculous number of miles. honestly, it s time to switch to the venture card from capital one. with venture, use your miles on any airline, any flight, any time. no blackout dates. and with every purchase, you ll earn unlimited double miles. from now on, no one s taking your seat away. what s in your wallet? from now on, no one s taking your seat away. losing your chex mix too easily? deploy the boring potato chip decoy bag. with a variety of tastes and textures, only chex mix has twenty bags of interesting. pick your mix. anncr: now you can merge the physical freedom of the car, with the virtual freedom of wi-fi. chevrolet, the first and only car company to bring built-in 4g lte wi-fi to cars, trucks and crossovers. hi mom. you made it! anncr: it s the new independence. [ speaking a foreign language ] right now we are at the rio grande river. mexico being on my right side here, right across. it s approximately 100 yards because of the brush it s easy for a big group of aliens that wanted to cross over and once they get across, they are going to walk maybe several miles north of the river in order to get picked up and get smuggled into town. i think most people assume that once you get into the united states, whether you come in by car or you swim across the rio grande, you ve made it. your feet are on the ground. what they don t know is that the second challenge is the no man s land between the border and maybe 25 to 30 to 40 miles is the second checkpoint. there aren t very many roads leading from the border communities along the rio grande up to our major metropolitan areas. the government has set up checkpoints where all traffic has to stop and be inspected. sort of a double-check, if you will. safeguard. if people who are being smuggled want to get anywhere beyond any of these checkpoints, they re going to need either to walk through the desert in blazing heat and brush, or they re going to have to enlist the assistance of one of the people smugglers, that is a coyote, to get them through the checkpoint somehow or to get them through on the train or find some other way to get through. otherwise, it s just a big, old desert and they are not going to make it. these two girls tell us that they wind up in a stash house where they meet cacahuate. mr. fernando lacea, who goes by the name peanut, was the primary person on the united states side for this particular group who housed the undocumented aliens, then arranged for their transportation north to the checkpoint. it s called a stash house because these people are treated like goods. if you don t pay, you re not going anywhere. it could be to the point where you re being held captive even against your will. cacahuate had at least five stash houses that we are aware of. some cases they will use aluminum foil to seal the windows so nobody can see in, nobody can see out. the stash houses are used until they either get burned, they attract too much attention, or they get busted, they get the smuggler gets arrested. this particular neighborhood is used for smuggling the denison 11 aliens. [ speaking a foreign language ] in this stash house in harlingen, texas, is where johanna and lideny first met byron and the denison 11. that s where byron called eliseo for the final ransom money to get him to the checkpoint and into houston, texas. [ speaking a foreign language ] [ speaking a foreign language ] johanna and lideny narrowly missed getting into that train car which would have been the last ride of their lives. but the denison 11 did. they got in and allowed those smugglers to lock them in for that horrible ride. they were fed the line, you ll be let out maybe in an hour or so, which was a lie. imagine being inside like that and not being able to do anything. denver international is one of the busiest airports in the country. we operate just like a city, and that takes a lot of energy. we use natural gas throughout the airport - for heating the entire terminal, generating electricity on-site, and fueling hundreds of vehicles. we re very focused on reducing our environmental impact. and natural gas is a big part of that commitment. cacahuate would send his workers in different vehicles, load up the people from that house, put them in there, take them to the railroad tracks where they would load up onto the train. cacahuate and don memo had a railroad conductor in their employ who provided train schedule information. if you were going to load something illicitly on to the train, you d need to know where that train was going to stop and what relative time and it s not the same schedule every day. the people were loaded into two different railroad cars. 26 as it turns out in one, and when the capacity was reached there, 11 into another nearby car. my brother byron, he asked me several times to help him to come to the u.s. and the reason we always denied it was that, you know, we were scared of something, you know, could have happened, would have happened to him. and we didn t want him to go through that. we wanted him to stay with our parents and just avoid all of that. we are a young country. we are the country of immigrants. our relatives, our grandparents, great grandparents all dreamed of a better life coming to america. that s what these people are doing. they cannot figure out a way to get in legally. they want to work and they want the same things we do. they would have people loaded at the site nearest to the checkpoint and then arranging for the people to be removed at the next site north of the checkpoint. they were fed the line that it s not going to be that long. you don t even need any water because you ll be let out in maybe an hour or so, which was a lie. they were duped into thinking that it was safe. a coyote is a very cunning animal. at the first sign of danger, they take off. they hide. that night, the train was stopped and searched by border patrol. one of the officers remembers climbing up on top, opening up the latch and finding this large group of people inside. and sure enough, they were able to discover one car in which 26 people had been loaded. of course, that was the only group that they found. at least one guy who was riding on the outside of the grain hopper fled the scene when the train was stopped and it could have been his responsibility to let them out. the coyotes have spotters that ride on top of the trains or they drive parallel to the trains in cars. but when the border patrol inspected this particular train, they all bailed out. literally letting them ride to their horrible death. in my opinion, that s mass murder. i can only imagine how this group of 11 must have felt when that train started to roll again. there must have been that feeling that we haven t been found and so the train is moving now so we ll be able to reach our destination but i also can t help feeling that by this time they were starting to feel the effects of the environment, the enclosure, the lack of water, the heat. it must have seemed like an eternity locked up in there. the train stopped again in the kingsville area. this is where i am sure that they thought, okay, we ve made it. but the longer they sat in there, the doubts have taken place. they finally decided, maybe yell out for help. you re out in desolate areas so there wouldn t have been anyone to hear them. i suspect that at one point when these individuals realized that no one was going to open that railcar for them, that they were desperately trying to find an escape route. in the hatch opening, there was a rubber gasket which appeared to have some damage and appeared to me that it would be consistent with individuals trying to peel away that plastic in order to try to escape. you know, the heat in texas and all those states up there is imagine being inside like that and not being able to do anything. the causes of death of all 11 individuals were hyperthermia or elevated body temperature and dehydration. you see all your friends dying in front of you. and knowing that you re next. gabe called me to tell me, we have memo here and that we thought that we should go ahead and arrest him. when i had my first migraine, i was lucky. that sounds crazy, i know. but my mom got migraines, so she knew this would help. excedrin migraine starts to relieve my pain in 30 minutes. plus, sensitivity to light and sound, even nausea. excedrin migraine works. i m spending too much time hiring and not enough time in my kitchen.

critical in order to make the identification was to have dna samples from living relatives. they weren t just bodies. they weren t just remains in a grain car. they were people. the main smuggler we were going after was don memo, of course. we knew he worked out of mexico city. even though his fingerprints may not be on the hatch of that train, police say he s alleged to have been an accessory, a major part of the murder of those 11 people and those families cannot even begin to heal until guillermo madrigal ballesteros is in handcuffs. we started putting surveillance on don memo. at this particular time we had no pictures of him, no i.d. i decided we needed to identify him. we called the harlingen police department. they were able to pull him over on a traffic violation. gabe called to tell me, we have memo here. he didn t have proof of insurance or driver s license. he didn t even know who the truck belonged to. i called to say we thought we should go ahead and hold onto him. go ahead and charge him. go ahead and arrest him. our instructions were that we weren t ready yet because we were still waiting for dna. we didn t have all of the pertinent facts that the assistant u.s. attorney felt she needed at the time to be able to charge him with the smuggling. as hard as it was, we had to tell the police department to let him walk. the real frustration for crime victims particularly and i m one of them is the fact that the case isn t made and the perpetrator and the bad guy is allowed to either, number one, escape or disappear or commit another crime, a heinous crime again because they didn t decide to prosecute in time. i believe it was late april that the fbi laboratory responded with the matching of the dna that was collected to the remains that were sent from iowa. 11 victims. we had 11 matches. with what we had drawn. this organization, though the denison 11 had perished, still kept right on going. it s business for them. that s their job. that s their work. they were good at it. one of the main targets was cacahuate, the local contact here in harlingen. we were able to tail him to a mobile home that he had rented. we conducted the video surveillance there. we were able to put the train conductor meet with him there. one of our agents had information that cacahuate was in a stash house in kingsville with a load of aliens. there were numerous people laying down asleep. one of them was laying on the couch. i recognized him as cacahuate. i immediately grabbed him, put him on the floor. he was subsequently charged with that smuggling load that he was apprehended with and it kicked in the process of the denison 11. one of these cowards, one of the coyotes is doing 24 years in an american prison, right where he should be. the train conductor did 41 months. he s out. the missing piece of the puzzle is ballesteros. the indictments came in 2003 so it s been over ten years and nothing has come about. the case has been dismissed without prejudice, meaning that it could be reopened. there is reason to believe that don memo may be back in texas. when and if he is found, doing the same thing, a conspiracy charge and reactivate the denison 11 case. i don t think i will understand why charges were dropped. those families need justice. don memo is out there. i m sure he s doing what he s always done his whole life. he s put another group together and they re just figuring out an easier, faster, better way to get illegal immigrants into the united states and exploit them. someone has to contact us and let us know. he has to be held accountable for what he s done. guillermo madrigal ballesteros is a known human trafficker in guatemala, honduras and el salvador. he goes by the nickname don memo. he s believed to be in texas or mexico. if you have seen guillermo madrigal ballesteros or have information as to his whereabouts call 1-866-the hunt or go online at cnn.com/thehunt. you can remain anonymous. we ll pass your tip on to the proper authorities. if requested, we ll not reveal your name. there was a memorial service held at st. rosa lima catholic church. there were actually people going around raising money to get what was left of them back to their homeland. it would be very satisfying for me personally to put the handcuffs on memo. it would give me great pleasure to take him to jail. this is the land of milk and honey, the land of opportunity. they are willing to risk so much to just get a piece of that. it made many people here in the community, it made myself just realize how good whad it. nothing can bring my brother back. but i think the responsible people should be should have been treated different. should have been arrested now and in jail. that these people voluntarily climbed into the hopper doesn t excuse the fact that they died. they did not deserve to die this way. they didn t deserve to die because they were coming up here. [ speaking a foreign language ] the names of the 11 deceased are pedro lopez, age 37 from honduras. domingo cibron, age 36 from el salvador. omares contreras from mexico. age 23. robert enrique, age 23 from mexico. juan mesa, 27, of mexico. mercedes gertrude gito. age 40 from nicaragua. leslie farafino from honduras. age 24. leslie farafino from honduras. leli elizabeth farafino, 35 from honduras. byron acevedo, 18, from guatemala. we take you live to kiev. one mother s anguish not knowing whether her son is dead lakes turned into what looked like a desert in the middle of california. yet extreme drought is bringing new fears of earthquakes. we welcome our viewers in the united states and around the world. you are watching cnn. i m george howell. we begin with the ceasefire between ukrainian government forces and
york s primary in two weeks and virtually conceding wisconsin. we begin with ma that mechanical lom at a look at where we are right now and where we are with a look at the exit polls. good evening. we re talking to folks as they exit the polling location. polls are open in the badger state. careful not to characterize beyond what we see. here are some of the tea looefls. first t men vying for republican nomination, ted cruz doing very well in particular among evan l evangelical christians, highest support so far this year. more in this category than even his home state of texas where he did very well. he s getting more than half those votes in texas. there s a look at the badger state. now let s look at independents. they can vote in this open primary on either side. those voting on the gop side are voting for donald trump at 43% in the early going. we ve had so much talk about the division and the party, the deep divide. we re definitely seeing that, bret, in the early numbers tonight. take a look at this. if it is trump versus hillary in november, more than one-third of wisconsin gopers say they wouldn t vote for donald trump if he was the republican nominee. instead they said they go for a third party candidate or hillary clinton or stay home and not vote at all. among cruz supporters, that number jumps to 43%. let s get an early peek at that, having a hard time deciding between their head and heart in wisconsin. more saying bernie sanders inspires them about the future of the country, yet more think clinton is the one who could beat donald trump if he s the nominee come november. more than half feel that way. it s going to be a tight night. we ll get another wave of numbers coming in. we ll send it back to you, bret. all right, martha. congrats to villa nova, your team. whoo. what a night. wisconsin essentially nine presidential primaries for republicans. 18 delegates go to the state-wide winner. four more go to each of the state s eight congressional districts. donald trump is still hoping to get the republican convention to to the republican convention with a mathematical lock on the nomination. that s the 1237 delegates you often hear about, the majority. scrambling to get as many wins in those different districts and in the state as he can. senior national correspondent john roberts has the story tonight from milwaukee. let s take a picture first. reporter: it was a state that once seemed like his to lose. today donald trump was working hard until the last minute to ensure that doesn t happen. i think we re going to d really well. the people of wisconsin want their jobs to stay here. i m justice and part of the ted cruz campaign. how are you today. reporter: ted cruz assembled a powerful operation with the backing of scott walker s formidable political sheen. cruz has been outmaneuvering trump in the battle for convention delegates and warned the party if it comes down to it, it must be between him and trump. this fever pipe dream of washington that at the convention they will parachute in some white knight who will save the washington establishment, it is nothing less than a pipe dream. it ain t going to happen. if it did, the people would quite rightly revolt. reporter: ohio governor john kasich continues to insist he will be front and center in july. let s let it all play out. they won t be successful, and i think they re becoming hysterical actually. there s a little hysteria catching on there. reporter: amid complaints that he is long on rhetoric, short on plans, trump today revealed how he would get mexico to pay for a border wall in a letter spelling out he would suspend money transfers from mexicans ton the united states to families back home unless the mexican government ponied up. the wall is a fraction of the kind of money in many different ways that mexico takes in from the united states. the wall is a fraction. you re talking about a $10 million wall, a trade deficit with mexico, $58 billion. reporter: some confusion on the wisconsin ballots, an option to choose, quote, unobstructed delegation. an official said that s for people who can t make up their minds and want delegates to go to the convention not representing a specific candidate. in essence, it would let the party choose which candidate the dale gats would back. wisconsin state officials tell us that provision has been on the books for years, but because of the extraordinarily contentious nature of this year s primary, it s getting a little more attention than it typically does. bret? john roberts live in milwaukee, thank you. bernie sanders grongwi momentum over the last few primary season contests, could get a big boost with a win tonight in wisconsin. that spells more trouble for a hillary clinton campaign that just cannot put its only rival away for good. chief white house correspondent ed henry is in brooklyn tonight. the fellow who is from new york, i wish he d get out of one of his towers and tuldly walk the streets and spend time with the people. panelling prejudice and paranoia is not the new york way. reporter: hillary clinton s camp fired off two memos in the last 24 hours saying they re likely to lose wisconsin to bernie sanders saying, quote, this nomination isn t locked up and we have to fight for every vote if we want to see hillary clinton in the white house. clinton s plea for money has grown urgent. sanders outraised her by nearly $15 million in march, $44 million raised by sanders to 1 $29.5 for clinton. it s a beautiful day. we re hoping here in wisconsin there will be a record breaking turnout. if people come out to vote in large numbers, i think we ll do very, very well. reporter: clinton today used the friendly venue of the view to point out she doesn t just have a big delegate lead. we want some, he s won some. i have 2.5 mill kwlun more votes. reporter: she went further than just saying she did nothing illegal. will you ever put it behind you? i m sure i will, because there s nothing to it because i m going to be very open as i have been since last summer, i think last august, i said any time you want to talk to me, here i am. nothing inappropriate was done. reporter: a decision from the fbi may not come as quickly as expected. with fbi director james comey telling the niagara gazette he s under no pressure to finish before the convention in july. the urgency is to do it well and promptly and welcomes first. the status of that investigation may come up again at their next debate at the brooklyn naval yard on april 14th. sanders has had self-inflicted wounds of his own that could hurt him in the debate including an editorial board meeting with the new york daily news where he declared israel must improve sit relationship with the palestinians but then appeared to be at a loss on what to do differently saying, quote, you re asking me to make decisions not only for the israeli government but the israeli military and i don t think i m quite qualified to make decisions. clinton will be here in new york tonight but is not planning the traditional primary night speech we see from all the candidates in both major parties. instead she s planning to be fund-raising, a sign she has other urgent priorities going on right here, bret. ed henry in brooklyn, thank you. president obama is standing by his isis strategy while hosting military leaders for a meeting and dinner tonight at the white house. the president said today his anti terror campaign will continue to accelerate. we ll continue to take on their leadership, their financial networks, their infrastructure. we are going to squeeze them and we will defeat them. as we ve seen from turkey to belgium, isil still has the ability to launch serious terror attacks. one of my messages today is destroying isil continues to be my top priority. i m absolutely confident that isil will lose. we will prevail. the president adds that the plan cannot be just a military operation but must incorporate diplomatic and intelligence resources as well. right now, some of the greatest thets to this country, to you and your family actually may come from cyberspace. that s where a huge battle is being fautd, and it could decide your future. according to the country s top intelligence officials. chief intelligent reporter katherine harris has the frightening scenario lawmakers heard today. reporter: the nsa director testified to the senate armed services committee that attacks on the power grid and other infrastructure oorps as keep him up at night. think about the implications of that, if you couldn t trust the military picture that you were looking at, that you were using to base decisions on, let alone the broader economic impacts for us as a nation. to the third point you made about non-state actors using cyber as a weapon system, how grave a threat is that to us currently? it doesn t take billions of dollars of investment. it doesn t take decades of time. sieb ser the great equalizer in some ways. reporter: with growing evidence that russia was behind the attack on ukraine s power grid, lawmakers were told the use of cyber weapons is not a hypothetical. does russia have the capability to inflict serious harm to our critical infrastructure? yes. reporter: rogers testified that beijing s attacks on american industry are not letting up. we continue to see them engage in activity directed against u.s. companies. the admiral who leads the u.s. cyber command say the chinese appear to be stealing american secrets to give their businesses an edge. using that then to generate economic advantage is not something that s acceptable to the u.s. reporter: with the recent hack of the med star hospital network, rogers said the health care network is a target. kathryn, thank you. satellite images are seeing suspicious activity. exhaust plumes have been spotted at least twice in the past five weeks at that facility that suggests buildings are being heated. the lab where north korea separates weapons grade plutonium from waste. disagreement over how the administration is handling iran. lawmakers are not happy with the president s response to recent iranian missile testing. democrat bob menendez expressed concern that the u.s. in his words is walking on egg shells in order to avoid problems with the president s nuclear deal. and one particular assertion by the add stragsz is getting special attention. do you believe iran is giving up its ambition of a nuclear weapon? that s an accurate portrayal of your statement? at this point. the jcpoa as it is implemented prevents iran from achieving a nuclear weapon. yes or no. do you believe iran hopes to put a nuclear weapon on top of a ballistic miss snl. at this point no, because they can t. mr. shannon, in conversations i ve had with allies in the region, nobody there believes they ve given up their nuclear weapons ambition. shannon told lawmakers today they should be in no rush to renew the iran sanctions act which expires at the ends of the year. let s get analysis from indicated columnist charles krauthamer in washington. you listened to that from the administration and the lack of an answer about the ambition of iran to get a nuclear weapon. that doesn t track with everything we hear from the region. the lack of an answer because it s obviously disingenuous what shonn none just said. the idea iran would invest billions of dollars of intercontinent el and medium range ballistic missile systems in order to put sticks of dynamite on top is simply absurd. you build these systems to deliver nukes. shannon s contention that they have no intention of putting a nuke on top of the missile because it isn t allowed in the agreement we signed last year. number one, that assumes iran isn t going to cheat. number two, even if it doesn t cheat, the agreement expires in ten years. after these ten years of testing and perfecting ballistic missiles, iran will be in a position to break out, to have no sanctions. the nuclear file, as the iranian foreign minister said will be closed. it will be open to producing an arsenal of nukes to put on the missile. everybody understands what s going on. the administration is pretending otherwise. so do you think there will be any repercussions for the ballistic missile testing, the sending of weapons from iran to yemen, the other thumbing their nose at the world from iran? there might be at most a useless gesture or two, but menendez is absolutely right. the administration is walking on egg shells. the whole agreement was meant to deter iran from doing things we don t want them to do. it s become the exact opposite. this is a self-deterring agreement. in other words, obama and the administration are terrified that iran, having received everything up front, all the money, the dropping of sanctions which will never be renewed, the beginning of business in iran, all of this is already done. iran having pocketed all the concessions up front. it is prepared to walk away any day because the rest of the agreement only constraints its program. so they are afraid to do anything to make any serious gestures, sanctions, whatever, even statements condemning iran for what it s doing, as you say, for supplying rebels in yemen, for supplying hezbollah, the ballistic missile test. all this is happening and we won t do a thing because the president is afraid iran will walk away from this great legacy agreement. we are the ones who aren t deterred. to be fair, there are a number of european nations involved as well. they are, many of them, doing more business with iran. is there any appetite, do you sense, in the world to step up the sanctions against iran, outside of what the u.s. is doing or not doing? well, ha is true. we knew that at the beginning. we knew what iran was wanting in these negotiations, and the reason is putting these minor restrictions on its nuclear program, is because once the sanctions were removed, which they have been, the europeans would rush in with business that will not be revoked. the russians will rush in with weapons which have already begun to flow. the chinese will never resume sanctions. so everybody is in the game now, in the iranian game everybody want to make a buck. that s the result of the lifting of sanction. iran already has that in pocket. the europeans are cooperating with iran in a sense. we knew that. that was the argument but the administration pretended that was president going to happen. we now see it happening. charles, as always, thank you. up next, president obama wants low-income folks to live next door to high-income people. how is that working out in one city? first, what some of our fox affiliates around the country are covering tonight. fox 13 in memphis with the investigation into yesterday s crash of the sightseeing helicopter during the great smoky mountains national park. five people in that chopper died. no one was hurt in the ground. wdbd in jackson, mississippi, as governor bryant sign as bill for private businesses to refuse service to the lgbt community. he says it doesn t limit constitutionally protected righ of any citizen. gay rights groups and businesses worked obviously against that legislation. this is a live look at boston from our affiliate fox 25. the big story there tonight, a federal judge approves the sale of items belonging to gangster james whitey bulger. the u.s. marshal service will auction them off in june. among the items, jewelry, electronics and stanley cup ring from 1986. the money will go to families of bulger s victims. that s tonight s live look from outside the beltway from special report. we ll be right back. i think we should ve taken a tarzan know where tarzan go! tarzan does not know where tarzan go. hey, excuse me, do you know where the waterfall is? waterfall? no, me tarzan, king of jungle. why don t you want to just ask somebody? if you re a couple, you fight over directions. it s what you do. if you want to save fifteen percent or more on car insurance, you switch to geico. oh ohhhhh it s what you do. ohhhhhh! do you have to do that right in my ear?

leland, thank you. up next, a crucial wisconsin county where voters are still casting ballots. it could go a long way to determining the winner tonight. we ll take you there live. we asked a group of young people when they thought they should start saving for retirement. then we asked some older people when they actually did start saving. this gap between when we should start saving and when we actually do is one of the reasons why too many of us aren t prepared for retirement. just start as early as you can. it s going to pay off in the future. if we all start saving a little more today, we ll all be better prepared tomorrow. prudential. bring your challenges. when my doctor prescribedbad, medication-an opioid. it really helped! but it came with some baggage: opioid-induced constipation-oic. sooo awkward. you sound like you re ready for the movantalk! opioids block pain signals. but they can also block activity in the bowel, causing constipation. movantik can help reduce constipation caused by opioid pain medications. do not take movantik if you have a bowel blockage or a history of them. serious side effects may include a tear in your stomach or intestine. and can also include symptoms of opioid withdrawal. common side effects include stomach pain, diarrhea, nausea, gas, vomiting, and headache. tell your doctor about any side effects and about medicines you take as movantik may interact with them causing side effects. i m so glad i had the movantalk with my doctor! constipated by your prescription opioid pain medication? ask your doctor if movantik is right for you. if you can t afford your medication, astrazeneca may be able to help. as we bring you coverage of the wisconsin primary, keep your eye on one county in particular for the republicans. we re in waukesha to say what s so special about the third largest county. hi, doug. good evening, bret. the clerk of waukesha county say they re expecting an 80% turnout of reasonable centered voters. that s a remarkably high number. the line goes longer as people get off work today. waukesha is part of a crucial threesome of counties that bring milwaukee to the north and west. known as the wow counties, home to numerous banking, insurance, high tech, good schools, highly educated and highly compensated. residents here take their civic duty and elections very seriously. the reason they re significant, they have 10% of the population, consistently 20% of republican votes come from the wow counties. they have a tradition of volunteer activism, helping republicans in presidential races, gubernatorial races. i think there s a lot of attention on what s going to happen in the wow counties this week. reporter: that civic responsibility points out how pivotal those wow counties will play in tonight s primary but in november s general election. these counties divide the entire state for the general election in november. if you do not have their full enthusiasm and high turnout for the republican nominees, then they are going to lose that general election, no ifs, ands or buts about it. reporter: to that point it s fitting wisconsin is the only primary in the nation, allowing the candidates to singularly focus on what is arguably the most important bellwether state in the union. in the modern primary era, whoever has won the primary in wisconsin has gone on to become that party s nominee in 94% of the cases. that s a pattern and record that is unmatched by any other state. bret? doug, thank you. president obama on the bench, not in the game, at least not yet. the continued presence of senator bernie sanders in the democratic race is said to be preventing the president from putting his public support and political talents behind hillary clinton. many white house watchers say president obama seems comfortable on the campaign trail and is likely itching to get back out there again. chief legal correspondent shannon bream has more from the white house. reporter: president obama has not been shy about critiquing the republican presidential candidates. the protracted race between former secretary hillary clinton and senator bernie sanders has kept him off the campaign trail and on the sidelines, but that hasn t entirely jumped him from jumping into the scrum. we ve got, inside the other parties that is fantasy and school yard talk and selling stuff like it s the home shopping network. reporter: today at the white house, the president called donald trump s proposals wacky and didn t stop there. i do have to emphasize that it s not just mr. trump s proposals. you re also hearing concerns about mr. cruz s proposals which in some ways are just as draconian when it comes to immigration, for example. no doubt the president believes he s an asset to the democratic party in its presidential run and he will be an asset because his main job is going to be the democrats number one job which is to get out a big turnout. reporter: the white house denying reports that there s frustration over sanders decision to stay in the race and says the president is eagle to hit the campaign trail to tout his record. a recent cbs news new york times poll shows americans are easily divided on how he s handling the economy. a majority disapprove of his foreign policy performance. he s obviously dedicated the last eight years of his life to focusing on these policies that have led us to make so much progress and he doesn t want to see so much of that work be undone. the president will travel to chicago later this week to talk about the importance of the supreme court. his nominee, judge merrick garland, met with two gop senators on the hill tonight with varying results. susan collins said she s impressed. john boozman says he thinks the next president should be the one to replace justice antonin scalia. shannon bream live on the north lawn, thank you. is wisconsin the beginning of the end of the gop battle or is it a reset?

a number of things strike me. every time we ve come and talked about the exit polls, specifically since it s been a two-man race between cruz and trump is how ted cruz is doing in expanding his appeal to the republican primary electorate. he s pulling 46% of the conservative voters, nearly double what he s gotten in all other states and beats donald trump by seven points. that s one of the reasons i think ted cruz is likely to have a good night tonight. the other thing is when donald trump went to wisconsin to campaign, he started by attacking wisconsin s popular governwalker, still has 80% approval among wisconsin primary voters. a bad idea. he s attacking him using recycled attacks from the state s democratic party chairman. these are things that wisconsin voters, wisconsin republicans in particular have gone to polls year after year to fight against. donald trump comes to wisconsin and says, look, scott walker has this deficit which no longer exists, and he didn t raise taxes because he s running for president. it s not a good idea to attack a popular conservative governor in a republican primary for refusing to raise taxes. steve s point, kirsten, is in wisconsin, the establishment republicans are not labeled with that naughty word establishment, they seem to be accepted. they re liked. also, they ve had time because of all the attacks on scott walker tbuild a conservative infrastructure that is probably working to cruz s advantage. the thing i did find interesting in the exit polls even though it s a good night for cruz is trump doesn t seem to have been damaged that badly with women. that s really been the conversation we ve been having for the last couple weeks. it sort of suggests the women he has are with him and maybe the other women it seems they re voting more on the issues that go outside of the sexism accusation versus what kind of person do i want, do i want a donald trump type candidate. tucker, to that point, exit polls in every state we ve seen, he has a loyal following that sticks with him, trump does, whatever the number is, 30% to 40%, it depends. but they re loyal. almost impervious would be the word i would use. i ve never seen a candidate in any race ever have a worse two-week period than donald trump has. it was entirely self-inflicted. worst of all he took add tension away from the two issues that have worked for him. despite what exit polls have said, immigration and he hasn t talked about them for two weeks and said he s embroiled himself for whatever reason, maybe he doesn t want to be president. here is the bottom line. at the end of this process, june 7th, we re likely to see trump with the most delegates, most states won and the most votes. what s the republican party going to do with that? i m confused why establishment republicans by the way, they real why aren t they in mora lago trying to surround trump, teach him, make him better. we re inevitably looking at a divisive, truly painful fight in cleveland otherwise. i don t know why they re not making a better effort. do you think donald trump would listen to folks that come in from washington and say, hey, here is what you have to do. sn. probably not. i think there s some evidence that his oldest daughter is maybe the sole person he listens to. by the way, he was gone with a new baby for part of this period. i suspect all these events are linked. i think there s also evidence he s not totally deaf. there are some he listens to. they should make an effort. he s going to have the most votes. that s the fact. the key is, this race, no matter what happens, is not going to be decided until california on june 7th when you look at the delegates. you can t get there math 3459 cli until california. even if he has a tremendous run. i think that s exactly the reason you haven t seen republicans do what tucker suggests they do. it s still early. you a party so badly divided, there s no reason to rally around donald trump at this point. in these exit polls, when voters were asked if there s a race between donald trump and hillary clinton, 61% said they d support donald trump. 35% said they wouldn t support trump in a head-to-head race with hillary clinton which is consistent with what we ve seen in the exit polls. it s too early to rally around him when you ve got people like ted cruz, the obvious alternative, trying so hard to beat him and a whole other huge section of the party, well beyond just the establishment trying to do everything they can to stop donald trump from getting to that 1237. here is john kasich from greta s town hall. reporter: donald trump says you don t have the votes, you can t do it. so does senator ted cruz. both of them say i should get out of the race because i m winning their votes. i agree with them. okay. nobody is going to win this going in. there s going to be an open convention, and it s going to be cool. it s going to be cool, kirsten. it s going to be very cool. i think the reason they re not rallying around donald trump is there s a group of people, at least who i talk to, who say they don t really care what happens to him. he s not going to hit the magic number. as long as they keep him under the magic number, they think there s going to be a contested convention and on the second ballot ted cruz will probably win. these aren t people that love ted cruz but they think that s where they ear headed. no reason to get behind donald trump, especially if he wins wisconsin tonight. what about john kasich, his narrow path, narrower even after wisconsin if he doesn t pick all delegates in these congressional districts. one would think he takes away from cruz. trump says he takes away from him. i would think he takes away from cruz. he s the live, embodiment. whenever you impose something by fiat on a population that s not convinced of it, whether it s roe v. wade, obamacare, the iraq war, you have decades-long resentment as a result of that. we re get together a place where the republican party is willing to say we re going to put someone in there who didn t get votes or got far fewer votes. whoever the nominee is, and it could be cruz, has to have enough votes to be a legitimate nominee. i know that s technically not true. you can force someone who doesn t have it, but you re going to pay the price for that. basically you re saying this is not a democracy, people recent that. these exit polls a split republican party, seriously divided. next up, what would a bernie sanders win in wisconsin mean for the democrats? there it is. this is where i met your grandpa. right under this tree. (man) some things are worth holding onto. they re hugging the tree. (man) that s why we got a subaru. or was it that tree? (man) the twenty-sixteen subaru outback. love. it s what makes a subaru, a subaru. rethink. reimagine. because right here, right now. it s time to take a closer look at botox® cosmetic, the only fda approved treatment for the temporary improvement of both moderate to severe frown lines and crow s feet. see what real results can really look like. so talk to your doctor about botox® cosmetic. and make it part of what you do for you. the effects of botox® cosmetic, may spread hours to weeks after injection, causing serious symptoms. alert your doctor right away, as difficulty swallowing, speaking, breathing, eye problems, or muscle weakness can be a sign of a life-threathening condition. do not take botox® cosmetic if you have a skin infection. side effects may include allergic reactions, injection site pain, eyelid drooping and swelling. tell your doctor about your medical history, muscle or nerve conditions and medications including botulinum toxins, as these may increase the risk of serious side effects. look me. in the eyes. and see what s possible. botox® cosmetic. it s time to take a closer look. it is a beautiful day. we are hoping that here in wisconsin there will be a record-breaking turnout. if people come out to vote in large numbers, i think we re going to do very, very well. and that s what we re hoping for. i just feel so happy when i m in new york. you know, and now that i have been traveling around the state, going upstate again, i was in albany yesterday, i see so many of my friends and supporters and people that i have worked with. it s just the most rewarding feeling. and so nothing beats it for me. i love being here. new york is the feeling that she is feeling today, but it s wisconsin that s voting today. and bernie sanders up against hillary clinton on the democratic side. we re back with the panel. kirsten, i was struck by independents in the exit polls make up a quarter of the democratic electorate. three out of four independents going for bernie sanders. that s significant. it s an open primary there. it s very significant. is he a real challenge to her. there is no question. the electorate is year whelmingly liberal and even more liberal than we have seen in some other states in wisconsin looking at the exit polls. but, you know, if you look 1iñ the losses that she has had, they have mostly been in caucus states. those caucus states are mostly behind us. this is how the clintd campaign sees it. while this is sort of a pebble in their shoe and something they have to overcome not something they are concerned about in terms of winning the primary. they also see it as he is camped out in wisconsin. she is spending her time in new york to shore up support. we could say why does she have to spend time in new york and that would be a good question. she represented that state in the u.s. senate. the rcp average in new york of the recent polls has hillary clinton up 11 points is the average of polls in new york. wisconsin, obviously, is the focus tonight. if sanders pulls out a win here, tucker, what does this do to this race? i think it s an ominous sign for hillary clinton. look at the margins in the states leading up to this. 70% in hawaii. 78% in idaho. 80% in utah. i mean, i think it s very tough for bernie sanders to get the majority of delegate on the democratic side. but those are bad numbers for hillary clinton. i think the tape that you just played of her talking about growing up playing stick ball in new york or whatever was so false. things like that, i don t think, help you. here is the real problem though whether or not she gets to the majority. i think she probably will is he has driven her dramatically to the left. come out in favor of drivers license for illegal immigrants and came out for obamacare subsidies for illegal immigrants. today she came out and said on tape a child has no right until the moment of birth. you know, these are not mainstream positions. probably within the normal democratic party. i think it s hurt her. steve? to kirsten s point about exactly how liberal the wisconsin electorate is, these are fantastic numbers. bernie sanders on issues 24 percent said too liberal. 66 percent said about right. 8 percent said not liberal enough. i don t even know who can a that could possibly be who thinks bernie sanders is not liberal enough. more than 7 in 10 wisconsini it es think his is he a socialist. think they are right or too conservative. stunning. it should be interesting tonight. we will be watching all of the results. panel, thank you. that s it for the panel. up next, we will show you a draw-dropping reaction to last night s ncaa championship game. did you see this? stand by. az this is brad. his day of coaching begins with knee pain, when. hey brad, wanna trade the all day relief of two aleve for six tylenol? what s the catch? there s no catch. you want me to give up my two aleve for six tylenol? no. for my knee pain, nothing beats my aleve. . finally tonight, everyone saw the shot, right? the shot seen around the world, monday s ncaa championship game could go down as one of greatest ever. we have seen so many different angles of kris jenkins last buzzer-beater shot that gaveville the gave villanova the win. the reaction when the three pointer falls. [cheers] [ laughter ] he has got the face. oh man, what a shot. that was awesome. thanks for inviting us into your home tonight. that s it for this special report, fair, balanced and unafraid. greta goes on the record in just a second. stay tuned for this evening s coverage of the megyn kelly will join me on set starting at 8:50 eastern time. america s lexington election headquarters will be turned on. thanks for joining us. here comes greta. tonight, on the record, it is a big night, and it could all come down to wisconsin. polls in the badger state close in two hours. right now. and if history can tell us anything, it is that wisconsin knows how to pick presidential nominees. since 1968, voters in the great state of wisconsin, 94% of the time have correctly chosen each party s nominee. and, tonight, donald trump is hoping to continue his momentum as he rolls towards 1237 delegates. but, senator ted cruz and governor john kasich they have different plans for donald trump. they want to throw a wrench into trump s plans. so, what5+ will happen for fox news doug mckelway is live in waukesha, wisconsin, doug, tell me what s going on. well, no matter what happens tonight, keep your eyes on the county where
single greatest vote you ever cast. that s when our country became great again. we ll make america great again. thank you, wisconsin. go out and vote. wisconsin has a reputation as a national podium. a victory will change the outcome in states to come across this country. cruz is saying he s taking my voters. trump is saying he s taking my voters. they are both right, i m taking both of their voters. bill: bernie sanders keeping up the momentum after winning five of the last six contests. byron york from the washington examiner, if the polling is right, cruz wins. but for ted cruz, this is almost a must win for him. go. absolutely. it appears to be getting a little bit closer. the marquette poll really shook the race last week when it showed ted cruz with a 10-point lead over donald trump, seemed to be confirmed by a fox business poll. but in the last couple days we have seen a poll as a closer race. by the appears the race has gotten a little bit closer, but republicans still expect ted cruz to win wisconsin. bill: you wrote a piece today about trump and cruz s final rallies. reporter: cruz went to waukesha which is the heart of republican strength in wisconsin. governor scott walker and carly fiorina were there with him. it was a show of strength in the republican s strongest area. donald trump went to milwaukee, a very, very blue area. donald trump went to the place where he was the weakest and ted cruz to the place where he was strongest. bill: the delegate race. how much in a close finish tonight will it matter? there will be a shift in delegates. wisconsin has 42 delegates. some of them are apportioned by congressional districts. there are 8 congressional districts. three delegates apiece. then they add 18 delegates to the winner statewide. the winner statewide will get that 18 delegate prize plus the ones they win in the congressional district. it s not as big as a winner-take all prize, but there will be a shift in the delegate count tonight. here is the southeastern part of the state. here is milwaukee. here is milwaukee county here. to the west just outside is waukesha. to the north you get washington, then over to lake michigan you will get others. those four counties, watch them. john kasich will hope to do well in dane county, that s the university of wisconsin in madison. we ll see if trump goes purple, are cruz goes tangerine. martha: let s go to wisconsin as voters head to the polls. mike tobin is live at one of the polling locations today. reporter: the wisconsin voters lake shaking it up. sanders seems to love it. if we win in new york state, between you and me, i don t want to get hillary clinton more nervous than she already is. she is already under a lot of pressure. we win here in new york state, we are on our way to the white house. reporter: conservative talk radio turned against donald trump in the banger state. the governor endorsed ted cruz. and he s polling poorly among women. that s why he brought out his wife for a rare campaign appearance. no matter who you are, a man or a woman, he treats everyone equal. he s a fighter. and if you elect him to be your president, he will fight for you and for our country. reporter: you look at the numbers, the latest from real clear politics. still within striking distance. john kasich 19.6. he s hoping to force everyone to knuckle it up all the way to the convention in july. martha: it gets tighter as we get to the polling place. bill: stay with us all day long today. and certainly later tonight. we ll have special live coverage of the polls as they close hosted by bret and megyn. it starts at 8:50 eastern time tonight. it wraps up around 1:00 in the morning. it s one-stop shopping around here. martha: basketball one night and wisconsin coverage the next. we like take up until 1:00 in the morning. a helicopter tour in tennessee took a deadly turn yesterday. all five people on board were killed. any word, jonathon on what caughted the chopper to go down? not yet. there are few off why you crews as to what caused this horrible crash. the skies were clear. the bell 206 helicopter was flying on what was supposed to be a routine sightseeing tour over the smoky mountain when it crashed and burst into flame. the helicopter was consumed by the fire. reporter: fire truck were called in to put out the fire in the densely wooded mountains. no one on the ground was injured. but self resident heard the crash and saw the immediate aftermath. i heard a big explosion and they were both in there. we saw the helicopter crash. it was on the ground already. we then heard a second explosion and we saw the pilot crawl out. reporter: the pilot died and authority confirm all four passengers died as well. bill: the irs building on the nation s capitol caught on fire pap what impact did that have on your return? a massive weapon catch. it was seized on it way to iran just a short time after we did the deal. bill: trump and cruz want to take each other on one-on-one. john kasich has a lot to say about that. stay tuned. case up, i don t think kasich, i don t think he s a player here. you say i m 1-32 and you do what rand paul and a lot of them did, and you get out. martha: irs headquarters in washington shut down after a fire break down in a basement. it apparently started by a transformer. 2,000 people work in that irs building. but many left before the fire started. tax returns are not processed in that building. what do they do in that building? bill: a new quinnipiac poll showing dissatisfied and donald trump supporters are the most fired up. welcome, sir. you endorsed rubio. i did. and walker before that. bill: are you going for a third? i am not. if you look at my district, it s pretty well evenly split. there is a lot of passion on the cruz side and the trump side. i ll call balls and strikes from what i see happening in wisconsin. bill: you call it north central wisconsin. rural parts of the state that are open to a message from democrats and republicans. bill: as i look at the map, i see that as trump territory. am i wrong? you have a lot of people who have been disenfranchised by both parties. there are people who care about economics and their wages. they are concerned about the border. people coming across. they say that take away some of of their opportunities and jobs. they feel like mayor today should be able to secure their border. these are patriots, they think as a patriot american we should be able to address these threats in the world. they look to donald trump and see strong leadership. they like him. they think this is exactly what the country needs. so if you look at the donald trump rallies in my part of the state, thousands of people are coming out in rural parts of our state to see him. but ted cruz who scott walker has endorsed. he s taken a pain out of scott walker s playbook playing retail politic taking a bus and shaking hand. bill: that s an interesting contrast. who do you think wins? the edge is with cruz. part of the delegates arertionee state as a whole. bill: we need to get you at the billboard. you are perfect for that job. quinnipiac put out some numbers. has america lost it identity? 57% agree with that. how do you feel? are you falling behind economically? 57% agree with that. what about your beliefs and values. 62% agree with that. politicians don t care what you think. 67% agree with that. supporters of donald trump 85% agree. what s he tapping into? that exact sentiment. they want someone to fight for them. you have republican or conservative ideology and then you have democrat or liberal ideology. the trump folks are people who say i don t care about ideology. i care about america and i care about my family. leave the ideology behind and fight for our country. what you see in wisconsin is you have conservative talk radio. they have done a great job of taking trump down. and i think this is a playbook that can be used in other states as well. if you want to take down trump look at the wisconsin conservative talk radio and use it. if they do that, the never trump movement will be very successful. bill: are you satisfied with the options you have today? i endorsed rubio and scott walker. i don t love my choices but i love them a lot more than the liberalism that comes from bernie sanders and hillary clinton. it will give us four years more of liberalism that will destroy the country. i look at ted cruz, a true passionate conservative. i love the ideology but maybe i don t like the messenger as much. bill: we ll see you 12 noon. martha: so much for the deal, keeping a lid on iran s military moves. look at this massive shipment of iranian shipments headed to yemen. it was intercepted by the u.s. navy. russia sending missile interceptors to iran. bill: there are new details emerging about donald trump s vow to build a wall at the southern border and how he plans to get mexico to pay for it. if we stand united, we are going to win this nomination and we ll win the general election. we ll beat hillary clinton and we ll turn this country around. jake reese, day to feel alive jake reese, day to feel alive the citi double cash® card comes in very handy with cash back twice. with 1% when you buy and 1% as you pay. with two ways to earn on purchases, it makes a lot of other cards seem one sided. martha: russia set to send its first shipment of air defense equipment going to iran. this after the seizure of weapons from iran reportedly head to yemen. this delivery from russia of the f-300 missiles being bought by iran. what are those missiles capable of doing? and should it be a concern? it s an anti-aircraft missile. it s capable of stopping any aircraft other than stealth aircraft. just the s-300 alone is sufficient at the current time to stop an israeli attack against iran s nuclear weapons program. this is something that iran has wanted from russia for a long time. now it s getting it, and it puts a military strike against iran s program from israel pretty much beyond the pale. this is a significant strategic shift and a big victory for iran. martha: that s something that s always been on the table for israel to take out iran s nuclear weapons if they deemed the them to be threatening. do you believe that would take this option off the table? and why wouldn t this be part of the deal struck with iran that they wouldn t be able to do this? because we have incompetent negotiators that are just as happy that israel los angeles the ability to strike iran. if there is going to be a strike against iran to prevent them developing nuclear weapons the united states will have to do it. obama and kerry were unwilling to keep this potential open. martha: iran it looks like has a healthy weapons sales and transfer program to hotpots in the world as well. this is business as usual for the ayatollahs. iran since they took over has been the largest financier of terrorist groups around the world. and their support for the houthi rebels that threaten the saudis and others and the arab monarchies that are friendly to the united states. this is further proof, 9 months after the signing that iran s international behavior has not changed at all. it s one piece of evidence including ballistic missile launches. anybody who thought iran would become more acceptable to the civilized world after this deal, this is another element of disprove. martha: those weapons you believe were on their way to help the houthi rebels? yes. this is the third shipment in less than a month. bill: now back to politics. how will donald trump get mexico to pay for the wall. first melania trump on how twitter sometimes can be a problem for her. sometimes i feel that retweets sometimes get him in trouble. so i say stay away from, you know, stay away from retweets. hey, jesse. who are you? i m vern, the orange money retirement rabbit from voya. vern from voya? yep, vern from voya. why are you orange? that s a little weird. really? that s the weird part in this scenario? look, orange money represents the money you put away for retirement. save a little here and there, and over time, your money could multiply. see? ah, ok. so, why are you orange? funny. see how voya can help you get organized at voya.com. martha: decision day for wisconsin. we are learning more about how a president trump would try to force mexico to pay for a border wall. many said it s impossible and would never work. he laid out his plan in a two-page memo he sent to the washington post. he said he would cut off the flow of the billions of dollars sent home by mexican immigrants. politicians are saying how can you possibly get them to pay. we have some good business people in this audience. when you have a $58 billion deficit and $10 billion wall. it s easy. and they don t understand it. they say how do you get them to pay. it s so easy. rely on me. so easy. martha: joining me now is the campaign chairman for trump. he s trying to sort of disclose some of his actual policy ideas in a way that he s been pressed to do for some time. how would this plan to get mexico to pay for the wall work. as you heard in the previous clip. $24 billion a year is sent to mexico from the united states. people here sending money back home to their families. it actually last year in 2015, overtook oil as the revenue source for mexico for the first time in history. in terms of telling mexico they would now enforce the provisions of the patriot act which give power to the executive branch that banks need to know their customer. the banks are not having to go their customers. but given the executive branch the authority to do that. if mexico does not pay the money, it shows that it can be done. that s what people have been saying for a long time. this won t happen, it can t happen. so the argument is going to shift very quickly to should this happen. because it s proven it can happen. i think we ll see polling firms go out and find out if the american public want this to happen. if it comes back that the american public agrees it should happen. i give it 2 weeks tops. let s put up on the screen how he would get mexico to pay for the wall. we heard the mexican president vincent fox say that will never happen. increased trade tariffs. cans laying of visas. higher fees for border crossing card to come back and forth. you laid out an interesting principle how you could make that happen under the patriot act, in order to transfer fund the banks need to know who they are dealing with. if those people are illegal you believe through this executive privilege, through what mechanism could he make that happen? in the patriot act it gives the power to the executive branch to define the enforcement of that. it s already there. it isn t saying they would do all four of those things. it s just saying here are four ways it can be done. some are better than others. it wouldn t be all of those things. martha: it says once the wall was paid for. that the program would go back to the way it was? yeah, the point of this memo is to say this is how you pay for the wall. when you go to a place like wisconsin, especially, where so many of their manufacturing jobs have been sent to mexico and sent overseas for cheaper foreign labor and you look at mexico. prenafta in mexico, manufacturing was less than 20%. it is now 80%. manufacturing has grown in mexico quite a bit to levels that are unheard of and a lot of that has come at the expense of places like wisconsin. we go there and you show this proposal and it resonates well with the workers in place there. mexico is a huge trade partner, and they said they would never accede to this plan. i don t know if they responded to this memo yet. i would be curious to see what they say to it. nobody want to start a trade war with mexico and this wouldn t. people have come out and said if he were to do a tariff there could be a trade war. this shows there are ways to do it without doing anything like that. if you go back many years, many decade, there was a time back in 98 that mexico nationalized all the american oil interests in mexico. things like this are not unheard of. the american people are looking for a president that s going to put america first. martha: a two-page memo laying out how he would do it released yesterday. thanks, jeff. bill: march madness came down to the final shout of the tournament. villanova-north carolina. villanova has the ball when this happens. i mean if you back that up 10 seconds. it s worth watching again. that was chris jenkins nailing the game winner. 77-74. mccallum s house did not sleep last night. martha: how do you sleep after a game like that. everybody was up really late. it was an incredible game. two great teams. two respected coaches. real gentlemen, both of them. bill: how are you feeling? martha: i m feeling great. around 1:00 think morning when we are doing the wisconsin coverage, i m not so sure. bill: the team s mascot was decked right after the winning shot. appeared to get into some sort of scuffle after the shot went in. i don t know who saw that. what does it look like to you. it what you a right to the face there. the mascot is okay. villanova is the national champion. tremendous team, terrific coach. great season all around. but a thrill to watch that. martha: a great story about two brothers, adopted brothers. their families were there at halftime and switched side at halftime to be fair to everybody. one of the brothers chris jenkins wound up taking that shot. a tough day for his brother but a great day for the family overall. let s take a look at the market. we are pulling back a bit. global concerns have the dow jones industrials down 102 point. we ll keep an eye on the markets. bill: when don t we have global concerns. find me that day. more rain falling in southern california, but troubling report are showing it s not doing much to help with the regional s water problems. we ll take you there and explain. martha:n we ll take to you wauwatosa, wisconsin. if donald trump doesn t win the ma am nation where will his supporters go. if i was presidential only 20% of you would be here because it would be boring as hell. let me be unpresidential a little longer and maybe i ll be unpresidential as i beat hillary. hey, need fast heartburn relief?

ronald reagan lost that grueling contest to gerald ford. but he stood up on the podium and put his arm around gerald ford and endorsed him. if we don t get that moment, the party is in big trouble. bill: ways your sense as to whether the wounds can heal in seven months? here is the problem. if trump doesn t get the nomination then there are people who won t support the republican nominee in the republican party. if trump get the mom nice there are a lot of republicans who won t support the other nominee. so either way, if trump is the nominee you have a lot of people who won t support him in the republican party. brirl matt? what do you think? is it a or b. i understand what matthew is trying to say. but in wisconsin we ll have the biggest turn out since 1980. we have doubled the requests for prevoting or absentee voting. we have a huge turnout. when obama and clinton went after each other in 2008 a lot of people predicted it would be bad for the party. hoik actually got more votes and didn t get the nomination. i think there is a chance even though this is bruising, this turns out to be good if for the republican party. 30% of republicans say they won t vote for trump if he s the nominee. bill: if that s true, what do you think they do over the next seven months. are they converted or not? here is what matthew is not saying. there are a lot of people who are anti-trump and anti-cruz. the people does best with real people are not necessarily that popular with the people that have always run these things and run the party. this is an attack on washington and an attack on a lot of these former leaders. that s something that s present in my party. what do these people do in the end? they look at hillary clinton and they will get they will pull the lever for the nominee. that s not true. so far the polls show this is not the case. bill: this is what o reilly said last night. according to the washington post donald trump is favored by 50% of republican vote horse make less than $50,000 a year and most of them are men. that s economic wage stagnation. and you can trace that back 16 years and these are the people who are ticked off. they are not going to leave trump. if you are asking me, it goes backlogger than that in terms of the economic stagnation. it goes back to the 1970s. there is a ceiling on that. and there aren t enough of those people to carry trump in a general election. every poll shows hillary is a 10-point victor over trump. sanders is a 15-point winner over trump. with women, 75% view trump unfavorably. minorities view trump unfavorably. 58% of americans say they would be embarrassed if trump was the candidate. bill: if he s the candidate, he has ground to make up. absolutely. he did this at the beginning of the republican contest. you know who has the second most unfavorable ratings in every poll? hillary clinton. you guys have big trouble on your side, too. i don t see it that way because hillary is beating trump in every poll. bill: i m confused between matt and matthew. have a great day and as you were. martha: all right, fox news alert from capitol hill. while there is a hearing going on on cyber-security, something we need to know a whole lot more about it. officials set to testify about the apple encryption debate. we ll hear from chief admiral michael rogers on this issue. bill: the f.b.i. hacking the phone of the terrorist in california. how it can be a big help in other investigation from this day forward. martha: in california hoping for some wetter weather during one of the most awful broughts in history. now reports that residents aren t doing their part to conserve water. show me movies with explosions. show me more like this. show me previously watched. what s recommended for me. x1 makes it easy to find what blows you away. call or go online and switch to x1. only with xfinity. bill: the f.b.i. said it will help unlock seized iphones. the f.b.i. was able to unlock the phone of the suspect in the massacre that left 15 people dead. apple initially refused to help unlock the phone. martha: apparently this year s el nino doing lit toll help with the state s water problem. the push to get folks in southern california to conserve water has not been all that successful. william, why aren t people cutting back on their water usage in southern california? i know, i feel guilty it s hard it s hard to conserve when it s rang out. water companies don t punish the wasteful or reward. my water consumption is 90% below average. after four years of drought, the rainfall and snowfall are about average as reservoirs in the north are filling up. grounds water is in decent shape but still low. southern california reduced consumption only 7%, not 25% as expected. which likely means mandatory, not voluntary cutbacks this summer. beale have to move that way. we ll have those lousy snow packs more often because it s hard. reporter: not to bore you with another season of the sky is falling story, that s probably what we are looking at for another summer of farmers not getting the water they hoped. martha: what can the state do about it? reporter: it can do a lot. the north-south rivalry. northern california treats the water as theirs even though southern california pay for most of the storage. environmentalists wants to keep the water in the rivers for fish. senator feinstein is stepping up on behalf of farmers. it gives an incentive to improve massive bond issues bypassing san francisco to pay for it. some say kill that bullet train. we could use that $10 billion on water, not on trains. if you live anywhere but here. people will say, southern california can t manage their consumption so why should we pay for it. you will hear a lot more about conservation through the summer. martha: thanks, william. bill: the next big primary day has arrived. the stakes could not be higher for those who need a win today. we are covering every moment in wisconsin. martha: disturbing images coming out of north korea suggesting the rogue nation is stepping up its production of weapons grade nuclear fuel. n t let dust and at between you and life s beautiful moments. with flonase allergy relief, they wont. when we breathe in allergens, our bodies react by over producing six key inflammatory substances that cause our symptoms. most allergy pills only control one substance. flonase controls six. and six is greater than one. flonase outperforms the #1 non-drowsy allergy pill. so you can seize those moments, wherever you find them. flonase. six is greater than one changes everything. . . . . with booking.com s free cancellation, you could just forget the beach wedding. and the beach booty. you could just book a different resort. like in alaska. they ve got igloos. martha: road to the white house runs through wisconsin today. republicans at a crossroads as voters go to the polls in that crucial primary race. could shake up the race for the gop nomination what happens tonight. we welcome everybody to hour two now of america s newsroom. i m martha maccallum. bill: i m bill hemmer. every time we have one of these stories takes us in a different direction. what direction will be tomorrow? in wisconsin 42 delegates up for grabs in the republican race. 86 for democrats. the republican reach vales all sounding optimistic about today and about tonight. if we do well here, folks, it s over. if we don t,. [cheering] if we don t, if we don t win here it is not over but wouldn t you like to take the credit in wisconsin for ending it? a few weeks ago media was saying a wisconsin was perfect state for donald trump to win. it was not a good day for me to compete in. what we re seeing is happening in wisconsin is the unity of the republican party manifested. we re going to continue to do i m not going to be be a n cushion. i m not going to be a marshmallow. bill: michael warren by both are looking over their shoulders and john roberts on the ground? milwaukee as voters go to the polls as we speak. good morning. what are you seeing? reporter: good morning, to you bill. donald trump making rounds, still optimistic he might pull out a win. the polls showing a mixed chances of what he might do. some had him up but more had him done probably. if he loses state of wisconsin, it won t be lack of trying. he spent last three days crisscrossing the state, talking about jock and economy. bringing out his wife melania for couple events. trying to fix the problem he has with republican women voters. also lamenting that john kasich s continued presence in the race is taking votes from him. to which the ohio governor basically said, oh, boo-hoo. he is 1-30. he ought to get the hell out, honestly. listen here is the situation. the reason why trump said kasich needs to get out, i mean think about what that guy said. he said he needs to get out because he is getting my votes and i want to have my votes. [laughter]. this is not fair! reporter: trump told a rally in lacrosse we were at yesterday, look he doesn t care if john kasich tries to contest the convention and win there but he shouldn t play in states, bill, where trump says kasich has no chance. bill: cruz gained on trump in that state. closing days of polling suggest trump is closing on cruz, i don t know. you tell us, on a state that some believe should have been pretty good for donald trump? reporter: so what is cruz doing right in the badger state? part of it is what donald trump is doing wrong. he shot himself in the foot so many times it is a wonder he can walk around last couple weeks. secondly ted cruz has a big operation here including the support of wisconsin governor scott walker. and at every opportunity he also has been painting donald trump as not a real conservative. listen to the perspective he gave last night during megyn kelly s town hall meeting why trump delayed in denouncing dent support from former kkk leader david duke. listen that is a liberal this thinks conservatives don t want me to denounce the clan. anyone who is a conservative is happy saying clan is evil and bigoted and is wrong and has no place in society. [applause] if you re speaking from core conviction you know that is because you re speaking from the heart. reporter: cruz also believes that could be applied to the abortion question as well. trump s initial answer as to whether or not women should be prosecuted for having an abortion was what he thought conservatives wanted to hear, not really what he thought. donald trump continues his presence here in wisconsin this morning. showed up at a diner this morning where fox & friends was broadcasting from, visiting folks outside of a polling station in a fire station this morning. but he is heading back to new york. this is interesting, bill. he is not going out tonight, typically for a candidate, not saying that donald trump couldn t change his mind, typically for a candidate they do not expect to do well. bill: we ll watch that anecdote. john roberts there on the ground in milwaukee. martha. martha: let s get more, michael warren, staff writer for the weekly standard. good to have you with us this morning. morning. john roberts talked about some things that have been perceived as missteps from donald trump that may have helped shift his numbers there. here is what he said about scott walker. walker has not done a great job. i has not done a good job. [applause] he, by the way, he has been okay. you re average. i hate to say it. you look around your surrounding states, you know what you are? average. you re not average people, right? martha: hmmm. did that help or hurt him? we don t know yet for sure but what do you think? i think it did hurt donald trump. that is a line that probably worked in every other state that donald trump has won in or competed very well in, but not wisconsin. conservatives, republicans like scott walker. they defended scott walker through three elections, not just two, re-election but recall election, against democrats. so to hear donald trump sort of repeating democratic talking points in wisconsin, i think was a big misstep and is what john roberts was talking about with trump shooting himself in the foot. that really hurt trump on top of all the other things i think going against donald trump in wisconsin. martha: well they, the trump people think they will do better than people expect in wisconsin tonight. and when you look at the quinnepiac poll, this is not a wisconsin poll. this is a more general poll so we can take a look at it on primary election day, quinnepiac poll says 57% of voters agree that america has lost its identity. 57% of voters say this statement. i m falling further and further behind economically. and the last one, 62% of voters agree that their beliefs are under attack. and when you look at gop voters and trump supporters, those numbers are skyrocketed even higher than the ones i showed you at home. how much of an impact those are really stunning statements, michael? yeah, absolutely and in places where donald trump is doing well you see more people who have those views. again to go back to wisconsin today, wisconsin s a different state than a lot of these other states that donald trump has won. it has got less income inequality. so that economic anxiety that you just talked about in that national poll isn t really felt in wisconsin. it is a little more educated population than the average population in the country. again, that is a better place for a non-trump candidate to do. but you bring up a very good point, this is where the country is right now. if voters are convinced that donald trump is the answer to those problems, then maybe he has got a better chance in november than we think. i don t think a lot of americans view him that way. they view him as a personality and as a candidate, much more negatively than maybe they view the things that he is saying or things he is willing to say. that ultimately will be a problem if he does win the nomination. martha: apparently as we heard he is heading back to new york tonight. hillary clinton is doing the same. what does that tell you about the clinton campaign in wisconsin? i mean the polls don t look great for hillary clinton. it is probably going to be another bernie sanders win but i do think it s a little different than it is for donald trump. if donald trump loses wisconsin here his chance of winning on that first ballot in cleveland at the republican national convention, i think is really damaged. clinton doesn t really have that problem. she is a weak front-runner. she has all kinds of problems that bernie sanders is exploiting but ultimately the math doesn t really work for bernie sanders getting to that majority of delegates so that he can win in the democratic national convention. clinton is going to lose most likely in wisconsin. maybe we ll have another michigan surprise and she ll win but ultimately i think her lock on the nomination doesn t really change much after tonight. martha: michael, thanks so much. we ll see you later. thanks, martha. bill: stay with fox. we will have it all for you in wisconsin and we will have special live coverage when the polls close later. bret and megyn are here at 8:50 eastern time. we ll have coverage throughout the day. results later tonight. then we ll see, we ll see after that, huh? martha: like you said, we could see another michigan surprise for hillary in wisconsin tonight. as we said the trump people are looking at that arg poll which shows him 10 points ahead in wisconsin. certainly anecdotally the people at diner were all behind him this morning on fox & friends. so we ll see. it will be interesting night. bill: stay tuned. meantime we have breaking news now overseas in north korea. new satellite images suggested it is stepping up plutonium production. the images showing exhaust flumes bill owing out of this nuclear plant weeks after a national intelligence director that north korea expanded production of weapons-grade nuclear fuel. benjamin hall live in london. more escalation out of peninsula in north korea. what are they up to now, ben? reporter: bill, every weeks it seems another threat from them. today threatening to bomb south korea. expanding their nuclear fuel capabilities and today as you said, those still images from the nuclear sight at pongyong which suggests that they are producing more plutonium. smoke plumes suggest buildings are reheated and significant activity is taking place deep underground. we re hearing to a south korean official that north is able to fit a nuclear warhead on medium-range missile. that is the first district statement and if verified has serious implications for region. the north long claimed it had the technologies. we have to verify this independently but very dangerous. bill: so you have got a lot of attention internationally, all these sanctions. how are they able to continue building this arsenal? how is that possible? reporter: we hear sanctions after sanctions have very little impact on weapons program. we re learning about how kim jong-un able to get around those. leak of panamanian files shed light on certain offshore companies are being used to facilitate those deals connected to north korea s nuclear program yet shielded from them. on a day, china long seen as lifeline to north korea would up its own sanctions. many individuals are willing to help north korea and other countries get around the sanctions. that has to be where the focus goes from here on. bill? bill: benjamin hall from london. more to come. 10 past the hour. martha: donald trump trying a bit of a new tactic on the campaign trail to try to win over women voters. that he would not hire women or men. he is a really, a great, great guy you know, beautiful heart and he loves to help people. [cheers and applause] martha: big applause for that. his wife melania. will she be able to overcome his increasing unpopularity with women voters? it is a steep climb. we ll debate that fair and balanced. bill: the outcome of today s wisconsin primary may shake things up. is the republican party inching closer to a contested convention? stand by. martha: ted cruz increasing calls for john kasich to bow out of the presidential race.ays tht will happen. we ll talk to the cruz campaign, get their thoughts today coming up next. i m not getting out. why would i get out? particularly when trump is worried am getting trump s votes which i knew i already could do and we re not going anywhere. i m only in my 60 s. i ve got a nice long life ahead. big plans. so when i found out medicare doesn t pay all my medical expenses, i got a medicare supplement insurance plan.

i beat him five times! and i looked over, yeah but i have beaten you 22 times? you remember that? martha: we have the national campaign spokesperson for ted cruz. ron, good morning to you. good morning. martha: this is something we re hearing more from. we ve seen donald trump sort of label each one of the people who have been a contender to him. he has been calling your guy lyin ted for some time. he seems to have moved on that he is annoying. his voice is disingenuous. that it is annoying, that it greats on people. what do you think about that? grates. that certainly doesn t apply to the people of wisconsin where senator cruz is doing very, very well. we ll have a very good night here. clearly donald trump is someone increasingly turning to more and more desperate desperate tactics campaign doesn t work. john kasich left the state entirely. his campaign people say wisconsin doesn t matter. at same time they increase their number of media buy here in the state. he added three different events to the schedule and turns to these increasingly desperate tactics because he can t stop the decline in his support in this race and the race is fundamentally changing with this vote today and changing to ted cruz away from donald trump. martha: if that happens, ted cruz wins tonight, how does it fundamentally change the race going forward? you ve got pennsylvania, you ve got new york, you ve got delaware, a lot of northeastern states coming up that could be tricky for him? that is really good question. two points, with respect to john kasich who repeatedly said no, he would win in the midwest, would win in the midwest, wisconsin is right in the middle of wisconsin and john kasich will place third today. he virtually given up having already left for events in other states. number one. number two, all the reporting showed that wisconsin would be the perfect state for donald trump to win with his protectionist message, on trade and his populist message and so on. it hasn t panned out that way at all. in fact wisconsin as a state is very similar politically to michigan. and in michigan donald trump won but now ted cruz will do very well in wisconsin tonight showing that republican base is consolidating behind senator cruz no matter what donald trump does, it is not going well for him. martha: sorry. you make a great point. so to push that question further what is the next if he wins wisconsin, what is the next wisconsin out there? well, we have, we ve engaged in in a 50 state campaign from beginning. we designed the campaign to go from beginning to end. i m from state of california. we vote on june 7th. we ve been preparing california since august and truly running a 50-state campaign. we have time before we go to new york and northeastern states and one state per week will vote roughly in the month of may. we go on to june. we re at about the bottom of the 5th inning. it s a nine inning game. direction now is fundamentally shifted. it has moved in our direction. this is increasingly seen as two-person contest with john kasich trying to insinuate himself into the race, but clearly running as a spoiler, wisconsin shows that the race is changing and changing in our favor. martha: all right. people are finally and one final point, nobody s paying more attention to this race today, to the presidential contest than the people of wisconsin. no one s been more in tune in the direction they moved in is in favor of senator cruz and rejecting donald trump. martha: we ll see what happens tonight. you but you heard the number crunchers. they believe ted cruz has to get 80% of the delegates in every single state from here on out to close to 1237 before the convention. that s, looks like an almost impossible hill to climb? well-running for president is not easy but what s clear that we built a campaign to go from beginning to end and sure it is a steep climb. you know, this is not easy. politics ain t bean bag however what is true is that it doesn t take winning 80% of the vote to win 80% of the delegates. for example, in the state of utah we won 69% of the vote and we won 100% of the delegates. so we re preparing for all the state that are coming up. we ll run an aggressive campaign and donald trump, no matter what he says, no matter what tactics he resorts to, he is not able to pull his fat out of the fire in wisconsin and not looking good for him going forward. martha: interesting to watch what you re doing in terms of delegate wrestling in these states, it is a different art which the ted cruz campaign seems to have a decent handle on. we ll see if you re right. thank you very much. good to have you with us today. thank you. bill: a somber moment. bodies of two americans killed in the terror attacks in brussels return home. martha: check your calendar. it is april. but it looks like january in some places. what is going on out there? we ll tell you where it is headed next when we come back. it is nuts. last week it is 68 degrees. this week it s 30 something degrees, snowing and knee deep in snow. my school reunion s coming fast. could be bad. could be a blast. can t find a single thing to wear. will they be looking at my hair? won t be the same without you bro. when it s go, the new choice privileges gets you there faster. and now, stay two times and you can earn a free night. book now at choicehotels.com martha: final homecoming remains of american couple on the brussels attack. now on american soil in kentucky. funeral services will happen this week. unbelievable this had to happen and snuff these beautiful lives so short. justin and stephanie shults moved to the belgian capital in 2014 where they worked as accountants. they were seeing off stephanie s mother who was visiting them when the bombs went off. stephanie s mom survived that blast. bill: it is 25 minutes past the hour now. if you look outside, he is not through with just yet. old man winter refusing to give in without a fight. dropping nearly a foot of snow in parts of michigan leaving many folks there scratching their heads at this outside. this is nuts. last week it is 68 degrees. this week it is 30 something degrees and snowing. sometimes you think have a real good day. bang, you wake up in the morning and you have snow. bill: meteorologist maria molina heard it from plenty of us in the holloway, haven t you, maria? yeah. bill: live in the weather center. what s up? we had a cold front push to the northeast yesterday. it brought snow across parts of southern new england. what is more significant about it, it left behind very chilly temperatures below average. across the northeast and across parts of the great lakes. for now it s a quiet picture across the northeast and radar. we don t have much going on. only thing going on is the cold. 30 degrees in new york and 27 in buffalo and boston. when you factor in the wind it feels much colder than what the thermometer reads. feels like 20 degrees in the new york. and boston farther west in new york, marquette currently feels like three degrees. the forecast is over next couple days is for continued surges of cold air, dipping down across the region, both across the great lakes and northeast. temperatures across the northeast are forecast to remain below average across these areas. by the way over the weekend we see yet another round of cold temperatures in the forecast across these areas. we do have winter weather advisories in effect across parts of wisconsin and into michigan and concern out here, we have a storm. david: iting the rockies moving across the northern plains. as we head into late tonight and also into tomorrow we ll see the snow coming down across parts of michigan and aagain across parts of wisconsin. as much as four to 8:00 inches of snow can come down out here. we ll be looking at issues along the roadways across those states otherwise we will see thunderstorms across severe weather. across eastern parts of colorado and kansas, into northwestern missouri, heads up, isolates storms. bill: saw snow in wisconsin. those folks can handle it. thank you, maria. talk to you soon. martha. martha: a heated battle for delegates tonight. what if nobody wins? could the gop give you a nomination to someone who you do not see pictured here? would that spark a voter rebellion? we ll talk about that. did you catch this by chance last night. gives it to jenkins for the championship! [cheers and applause] bill: it is an instant classic. talking about that game for a long time. villanova and north carolina, the madness extended into april. how about that. a killer. bill: republican leaders getting ready for possible contested convention with today s wisconsin primary playing a pivotal role. donald trump is leader at 737. he needs 500 to get there. senator cruz 465. john kasich, 143. would the party draft another candidate if nobody gets nomination. ted cruz doesn t think so. this fevered pipe-dream of washington, that at the convention they will parachute in some white knight who will save the washington establishment, it is nothing less than a pipe-dream. it ain t going to happen. if it did, the people would quite rightly revolt. bill: jonah goldberg, senior editor national review and fox news contributor. good day to you. good morning, bill. bill: entirely a hypothetical. what do you think? would it happen? i think what, this is complicated thing. ted cruz is right and certainly smart to be making this argument, if they somehow skip ted cruz and donald trump on the first or second ballot and went straight to kasich or straight to paul ryan or straight to batman or bruce wayne or whatever, that would be crazy and people would be outraged. the thing that think ted cruz is aware of but is not acknowledging in this is that once you have an open convention, once you have a floor fight convention, delegates psychology means everything. what if, if this goes to the fifth or sixth or 10th ballot, and people are watching this for days and days and days on end, the psychology can change and one of the things the ways it could change a lot of delegates pledged to cruz and to trump become unpledged. moreover their motivation may stop being my guy has to win, may start being, your guy has to lose f that happens, it is entirely foreseeable, which has happened in many conventions in the past, they say, hey, look, let s order off menu. we can t agree on the three guys who are here. bill: all those previous contested conventions that was before 24-hour cable. sure. bill: you don t have that factor now. sean spicer of the rnc was asked about it yesterday. he doesn t necessarily think this will happen, with neil, watch. the people that are getting elected to fill these slots are by and large either supportive of mr. trump or senator cruz and to some degree governor kasich. it would be very hard to imagine a scenario where they abandon their individual and went outside of that group. of course it is possible. i don t see that scenario emerging. we feel very confident that one of the three individuals currently in the race will become our nominee. bill: so that is trump or cruz or kasich, jonah? i honestly don t think it is kasich. kasich might as well has no more claim to the nomination than marco rubio or scott walker or lots of other people. he is just simply hanging around like the guy who won t leave the dinner party hoping something will work out for him. i think sean spicer is absolutely right which is why it is, in ted cruz s interest, if he can force this to a contested convention, to wrap this up on the first or second ballot. but longer it goes on, the more exhausted people become and more open-ended it becomes and then, i think you could see a draft ryan movement or somebody else come on in. bill: are you in the school that if trump wins tonight, it s basically over? if trump wins tonight it is, it is, certainly bet he gets to 1237. bill: that was hard for you to say, wasn t it? look, i m not happy about the prospect. i m also not happy about making predictions anymore because there is so much egg on so many faces for getting some predictions wrong particularly as they pertain to donald trump. mathematically if he wins tonight hard to see how he would be stopped. bill: quinnepiac, feeling in the country. ready for this? quote, there is a deep well of dissatisfaction among american voters who say the u.s. has lost its identity. that they are falling behind financially. that their beliefs and values are under attack and public officials don t care what they think. quinnepiac, earlier today. quick thought on that. i think that is absolutely accurate in terms of an appraisal where a lot of people are at and i should point out though, the feelings are mutual in the sense that a lot of these people don t care what their political leaders think or say. there is a overall, there is a huge lack of trust and confidence in all institutions. there are only two institutions left in america that are popular. the military and small business. everything else, the media, lawyers, doctors, churches, schools, they re all underwater. there is a huge lack of trust in large institutions in this country. why the political parties should be immune from that is certainly a mystery. bill: thank you, jonah. thank you. bill: jonah goldberg there. analysis in washington. thanks, man. martha: housing controversy brewing in baltimore. the feds reaching a settlement that will force the country to build affordable housing for the poor in more prosperous neighborhoods. leland vittert live in washington with what is behind this agreement and how this will work. good morning, leland. reporter: good morning, martha. they call baltimore charmed city but there are many parts of it anything but charming. the crime rate has skyrocketed. many poor neighborhoods on left side of your screen are gang-infested and getting rougher. you can imagine anger from folks on right side of the tracks, wealthier, nicer, affluent baltimore county over a plan to bring section 8 government subsidized housing to parts of baltimore county that are actually charming. i think it is nonsense. the overall policy which is coming out of the white house. coming out of president obama s philosophy of social engineering on steroids, we re going to make everybody better if we move them to kingsville, it is baloney. it is a failure and destined to fail. reporter: naacp among others sued baltimore county over housing segregation claims. the county has now settled. get this, martha, agreeing to spend $30 million over tex 10 years to build 1000 homes in those more affluent neighborhoods. martha: if everything works as planned what will the proponents say will come of that? reporter: here is the argument from the naacp among others is that the typical section 8 housing programs bunch all the poor people together and that only breeds more crime and blight. under the new program those 1000 houses will be sprinkled all around baltimore county essentially integrating the poor among wealthier families. studies indicate doing clustering in one area is not successful approach. the hope would be that the units would be dispersed throughout the county and not in one particular area. and studies have also shown that when that approach is taken, that economic value for the neighborhood actually increases and doesn t increase. reporter: along with this program and settlement come as promise from the baltimore county executive to introduce legislation outlawing the practice of landlords essentially discriminating against section 8 vouchers. martha, it is unclear to say the least if such a law would actually pass the baltimore county council. back to you. martha: we ll see. leland, thank you. bill: so the nfl is about to do something never done before in live sports that could change the way you watch games. details on that in a moment. martha: and donald trump bringing his wife melania on the campaign trail, to in part boost cred with women voters but has the damage already been done or can she help those numbers? we re going to debate that. he hires the women in highest positions and he trusts them. and, he, he is the one that he will take care of them. he is the only one. [cheers and applause] you don t let anything keep you sidelined. that s why you drink ensure. with 9 grams of protein and 26 vitamins and minerals. for the strength and energy to get back to doing. .what you love. ensure. always be you. bill: bit of a surprise announcement. twitter plans to live stream thursday night football games this fall. that deal comes after a bidding war between several digital heavyweights including amazon and verizon. that must be a pretty good contract. details not yet released of the twitter and nfl worked on other promotional ventures like in-game highlights so far. martha: donald trump looking to shore up some support among women voters in enlisting his wife melania to join him on the campaign trail last night. trump has come under fire in recent days over comments about women that have abortions and twitter feud with us ted cruz involving candidate as wives among other things. listen to this. sometimes i feel, that you know, retweets, sometimes get him in trouble. so just, i say stay away from, you know, stay away from retweets. martha: stay away from the retweets. good advice. guy benson, townhall.com, fox news contributor, jessica tarlov, pollster and political analyst with schoen consulting. good to have you here today. good morning. martha: look at another one of these sound bites. this one actually has to do with that retweet and donald trump initially said that when he retweeted the picture of heidi cruz next to melania trump he didn t think it was a bad picture of heidi cruz but then on hannity he said this. i wish i didn t send it out. it wouldn t have been simpler. it was done as a little bit of retaliation but in the end it is so, something if i had to do it again i would not have done it. martha: guy? a little bit of retaliation? yeah, know, he was lying before when he said he didn t realize it was unflattering. it was unflattering. that was whole point image. having impulses of grade schoolboy, donald trump decided he would get in his shot at ted cruz by insulting his wife. look, i think it is probably a smart move by trump to bring melania out on campaign trail with him. if you look at a lot of recent polling his negatives among women have spiked into the 70s, which is just full-blown unelectable territory given that women make up more than half of the american electorate. and the question is, whether it is melania and daughter ivanka is most delightful and likeable surrogate, if they come out there to repair some of this damage, a, is it too little, too late, is the damage done? and b, can donald trump keep his own mouth and finger on the retweet button in check to not step on some of the progress they re trying to make on his behalf. martha: appears everybody who you discuss, who gives him advice basically said that same thing. yep. martha: that it is time to be more presidential. if you want to get outside of your supporters who will love him no matter what he does, we all know that, you have to evolve as a candidate. to a place where people start thinking that maybe, women in particular, start thinking that maybe he would be the right guy. jessica, what would he have to do in your mind to improve his image with women? well he couldn t do anything to improve his image with this particular woman but generally speaking i think guy is correct. that having melania out there and ivanka out there, she will especially help him though i really struggle to understand what purpose melania was serving except to show there is woman who really likes donald trump. i don t think it helps in the continually say that they want him to be more presidential because that is just highlighting the fact he is isn t behaving in a presidential manner right now. so what i think donald trump should do, yes, keep them with him, have him talk more about policy and what he is going to do for americans but he should also talk about his pro-women-friendly policies. in the past he said there are a few things planned parenthood does that are good for women. we know women do, over 50% approve of planned parenthood. he should talk about, i know, wages which are a big deal to women, the economy more generally, especially, and terrorism. this will be a terrorism election. economy is number one issue and terrorism. talk about how he wants to keep americans safe and that appeals directly to women voters. martha: what do you think the strategy is there, guy? because the points jessica makes even though nothing would change her mind, she is pointing out strategic things that could be done, policywise and ivanka who recently had a baby, but i suspect she gets out there next several weeks. which would be a very wise decision on their part. i think jessica is right, when you look at the two bread and butter issues that will drive next election, jobs and economy with national security, with a lot of people very nervous about radical islam, the border. these are issues that donald trump can parlay perhaps into some success. he just has to stay disciplined and be creditable on policy. he can t just say, you know, believe me, i will be great for jobs. oh, the border we re going to build that wall and mexico will pay for it. everything will be great and terrific. we ll make the country great again. he has to get more specific and be credible but these are not bad areas for him. he does needs to make that pitch in a way that women believe and then he has to stay on message and not get distracted in these feuds constantly which seems to be an ongoing struggle for him. martha: yeah. women care about the same issues that men care about generally. they do. martha: but appears he is having a problem with them and we ve outlined the quite some time. get dramatically worse most likely running against hillary clinton. so that dynamic will be terrible for him. martha: jessica, guy, thank you very much. good to see you both this morning. bill: a buzzer-beating three-pointer delivers true madness to villanova. gives it to jenkins for the championship! [cheering] bill: it was instant classic. whoa. that shot delivered march madness in april. he has a sharp wit. a winning smile. and no chance of getting an athletic scholarship. and that is why you invest. the best returns aren t just measured in dollars. bill: rare blue diamond expected to sell for more than $30 million today at auction. 10-point tenncare rat blue diamond goes on sale at sotheby s in hong kong. rated as fancy vivid, highest possible grade for a colored diamond. so come and get it. martha:ville november s kris jenkins is now a hero forever, and watch why. going to have to do something from the outside now. it is page off balance, put is up! impossible. [cheering] how did he do that. three seconds at mid court. gives it to jenkins for the championship! oh! [cheering] martha: people jumping out of the stands before it hit the rim, they knew it was going in. it was a buzzer-beating three-pointer. when it went in there was .4 of a second on the clock. an amazing finish. gave the wildcats their second ncaa title. last one was in 1985 when they beat north carolina last night, 77-74. first shot we showed you tied that game. villanova had been ahead by six points. then it was, three-pointer and a couple other shots brought it back to a tie game with seconds to go. and that is when kris jenkins pulled that out of a hat. it is a shot they have practiced almost every day in practice. so we go through the game and talk about the highlights here. with jared max, joins us from headlines 24/7. good to see you, jared. good morning to you. thank you. martha: my daughter goes to villanova. my husband graduated in 85. it was a good game. they are a great steam. it was good night all around and your thoughts on the game and when it means for the school. you look at the player who brought the ball up, gave it to jenkins, who was named the most outstanding player of the final four. what unselfish play. he had opportunity while double-teamed to go for it. he is senior, last opportunity. turns to one selfish play and dishes it off. this is play that was practiced every single day. when they got into the huddle for the time out beforehand, head coach jay wright named the play and they know exactly what they were going to do. think about the importance of preparation. they were prepared. you mentioned 1985 as we look at rollie massimino who coached the wildcats team 31 years ago. huge, huge day to villanova. congratulations to your daughter, because she did not have to go to class. martha: believe it or not i know that i heard there were no classes today. couple quotes from jay wright how coaches the team. it goes exactly what he is saying about how he threw the ball to kris jenkins in that last second. jay wright looks for players who are humble. if you re not humble it is very hard to be coached. and he likes to get them in and have a year with them, a full year with each player before he feels like they re ready. he also says to them, focus on everyone else, not yourself. and that is clearly the way that they play. you think of student athletes, certainly a great way to be teaching. you have connection to villanova. my connection to jay wright he was coach out hofstra when i was going there. i was a big fan of jay wright. i think this is first of many ncaa championships for jay wright. martha: clearly such a special night for him. he is so highly-respected among all of the teams and certainly at villanova for setting the right tone about how, how you play as a team. what do you think it means for kris jenkins? you know where do these players go from here? does it put them in a league with duke, with michigan and with kentucky now for the time to come? martha, where this puts them in the league, people will remember this ncaa tournament because of the amazing ending. it was micro costism for the whole season and tournament. expect the unexpected. no clear-cut number one team. texas a&m down 12 points with 30 something seconds to go. who would have expected villanova to blow a 10-point lead trailing by five still come back with the win. this goes down probably maybe the greatest ncaa final ever when you look at it. look, three-point game wins it on buzzer-beater right after another three. curious to see ratings. this was on tbs, on cable. also two east coast teams with a game that started after 9:00 p.m. martha: got to leave it there. running out of time. great having you today. we ll be right back. . . if a denture were to be put under a microscope, we can see all the bacteria that still exists. polident s unique micro clean formula works in just 3 minutes, killing 99.99% of odor causing bacteria. for a cleaner, fresher, brighter denture every day. did win in the championship game tonight, uconn versus syracuse, good luck to them tonight. see you later tonight too. . eric: is on in wisconsin right now.voters making their choices at this hour in the latest critical primary for both the democratic and republican candidates for president. hello, and welcome to happening now. i m eric shawn in fortran on .
ribs. now the accused attacker is out and free while senator paul faces a prolonged absence from washington. the stories have been changing. we ll hear from the attackers or accused attacker s lawyer. let s get to it. first from the fox news deck this monday afternoon, investigators searching for a motive in the worst mass shooting in texas history. the worst in church shooting in american history. they say the suspect had sent threatening texts to his mother-in-law that attended the church where he carried out the rampage. that s the latest from officials in texas today. they say the shooting was not racially motivated, did not have anything to do with religious beliefs. they say this was a domestic situation. still the suspect s inlaws weren t in the church when it happened. we re learning more about the people that were attending that service. investigators say the gunman killed 26 people and injured 20 others. the victims range in age from 18 months old to 77 years old. among the dead a woman that was eight months pregnant. the sheriff says once the shootings started, it was likely no way for anyone to escape. he says nearly everybody inside the building had some sort of injury. the shooting happened in the small town of southerland springs outside of san antonio. witnesses spotted the suspect wearing a ballistic vest and a black mask as he pulled into a gas station yesterday morning around 11:20 a.m. local time. investigators say the suspect crossed the street and fired on the church. moved to the right side of the building before going inside and firing up the place. officials in texas are crediting not one but two good samaritans with neutralizing the suspect as they put it. they say somebody that lived in the area went to the shooting scene bare foot, got in a shootout with the suspect, injured him. the suspect dropped his rifle, got in his car and sped away. the good samaritan flagged down another driver and they chased the suspect at speeds around 95 miles an hour. more ahead on the heroism in a bit. investigators today describe the suspect s last moments. we know during the pursuit, the suspect used his cell phone to notify his father that he had been shot and didn t think he was going to make it. he said the suspect shot himself after he crashed his car into a ditch. we re also learning more about the suspect s background. he was 26. he had served in the u.s. air force. in 2012 a judge sentenced to a year in military prison for assaulting his wife and assaulting his child. he received a bad conduct discharge. officials in texas announced they have video of the mass shooting from inside the church. they put services on youtube. they were recording for that yesterday. law enforcement officials say they looked at the video and reviewing it. no more. they work together to put together exactly what happened here. a massacre at the first baptist church. it s fox s top story. matt flynn is live in southerland springs. what is happening today, matt? shepard, this small town of a few hundred people are swarming with law enforcement agencies and family, friends and neighbors stopping by perhaps to pay respects or to see what the site of the massacre looks likes. there s large tents that police put up last night and you can imagine the grim work in the tents. we saw a dozen fbi agents coming a grassy area outside looking for evidence. flags at this church are at half staff as are many u.s. and texas flags across the state right now. for as many police and volunteers and loved ones, it s still noticeably quiet and solemn. seems like people are acting out of reverence or still in shock in this area. shepard, when you can talk about 26 people being killed, everybody here might have known someone that died. some people said they had a sister-in-law, a nephew and a niece who were killed. so those are the type of stories that are emerging at this hour, shep. shepard: what more do we know about the deceased suspect, matt? shepard, seems based on the work that we ve done, the suspect had a troubled life. not only was he dishonorably discharged from the military for beating his wife and child, a resume online shows what was a spotty work record. he listed that he worked at a water park. the water park released a statement that said he worked for them for 5 1/2 weeks and was fired. he listed that he worked at another nearby baptist church perhaps being a volunteer. that church tells fox news they don t know the guy and released a statement saying according to our records, kelley volunteered one night as a helper in the 2014 vacation bible school. he was not a member of the first baptist church of kingsville, nor did he serve in any capacity. the congregation sends its prayers and condolences. in the end, the man was kicked out of the military and a little bit of resume online doesn t seem to add up, shep. shepard: matt finn on sign. you ve probably heard from the man that chased the church shooter driving nearly 100 miles an hour at one point. his name is johnny langendorf. he said he was stopped at an intersection with a man with no rifle and no shoes on jumped in his truck. he said the man and the suspect were shooting at each other. the suspect got in his car and sped off. he told langendorf to go get him. he said he just shot up the church and got in. he said chase him. so that s what i did. it s one of those things. act now, ask questions later kind of deal. it wasn t it wasn t something that i needed to freak out about. langendorf says that he was on the phone with police during the chase. said it looked like they were all heading in the church. trace gallagher with the news. trace? shep, johnny langendorf was near the church when he was headed to his girlfriend s house. langendorf never imagined 26 people in the church were dead until the man with the gun jumped in his truck. langendorf said add nearly 100 miles an hour, they blew through a few intersections and had no idea what the suspect might do next. he said as long as he was behind the wheel of his truck, he felt fine. then langendorf began seeing the suspect lose control of the get-away car. listen again. in the gentleman seemed to lose control of his vehicle. he started veering all over the place until he took out one road sign and from there he hit the guardrail and hit the ditch. yeah, the crash happened around ten miles from the church. the police were all back at the church. the second man still has not been identified. shepard: did they say they could see the suspect in the get-away car at that point? langendorf said he stopped his car about 25 yards away from where the suspect s car crash saad his passenger could get a better look in the car, maybe see the suspect, so they could still use the truck as protecti protection. langendorf said the passenger got out and mounted on the truck and yelled at the suspect. but there was no movement in the car. the sheriff said the suspect, devin kelley had a self-inflicted gunshot wound. here s what langendorf said being called a hero. watch again. i did what i did because it was the right thing to do. i hope that the families and everyone affected in this community, i hope they can sleep a little better at night knowing that this man is dead and won t hurt anyone else. the thing is, langendorf is brand new to southerland springs. what he s learned is the little town has a lot of love and a lot of care. shepard: thanks, trace. let s go to mike clements in forestville texas. pastors, thanks for being here. thank you, shepard. shepard: pastor, how are they? you know, i think everybody is trying to process slowly what has happened. you know, there s no script for this. there s a lot of people that have a lot of hurt and pain and loss. yesterday we had people that lost a mom, lost a dad, lost a brother, a sister, a son, a grandson, a grandparent. it s so difficult. so i, as pastor along with so many other pastors and so many other counselors and so many other people and organizations have stepped in to this organization to try to help. so we ask ourselves, how can we really help? there s two things that i think that come to mind. one of them is that just being there. sometimes you really don t have the words to say. because the loss is so great. but being there, just trying to shoulder some of the burden helps. there s so many people here that have come from so many places to help these people. there s another thing that is needed. that is really why i granted this interview today. because shepard, i wanted to ask your listeners, if they would, all over the country, to pray for us. to pray for these families. who are such a devastated loss. you see, the bible says that god is the god of all comfort. god can give a comfort that human beings can t give. so i want to ask your listeners, if they would to pray to the lord, to give these people, to give us, the people in this tragic, horrific event comfort and peace and rest in the midst of the storm. so i m asking that request today. shepard: pastor, thinking back on it, it s been 20, 30 years of being at places where horrible things happen to people. when all the tv cameras and all the cops are around for that period of time, it s part of a period of craziness in your life that doesn t end today or ends with all the cameras are gone and all the cops are gone and they re left with emptiness. is there a plan that people will put together to help these people for the rest of their lives? we all know with great respect, sir, they re going to need it. they are. that s a great question. our plan, my plan, the people around these people is to continue to help them look to the lord for their help. last night, a great example. our governor came into the room, into the room where all the families were there. he sat there and he challenged our resolve to trust in god. he used his own experience when he was in his well chair as a paraplegic. he said he could have never gotten through it without trusting in god almighty and challenged us and encouraged us to do the same. we need to do that not only yesterday, today and tomorrow but in the weeks and months to come when the cameras are gone. because there is great hope. the bible says that god is love. a lot of things that change in this world. that s one thing that has never changed and never will. that is that god loves these people. every single one of them. in fact, he loves every person on this planet and wants to express his love through his peop people. god knows about pain. he sent his one and only son to die on the cross to pay for our signs. the bible says he s alive today. shepard: pastor clements, thanks very much. all the best to everyone there. thank you, shepard. shepard: president trump issuing new warnings to north korea from the rogue nation s own back yard. we re live in tokyo as the president takes on the growing threat from the north koreans. that s coming up from the fox news deck. for your heart. or joints. but do you take something for your brain. with an ingredient originally found in jellyfish, prevagen is the number one selling brain-health supplement in drug stores nationwide. prevagen. the name to remember. today s senior living communities have never been better, with amazing amenities like movie theaters, exercise rooms and swimming pools, public cafes, bars and bistros even pet care services. and there s never been an easier way to get great advice. a place for mom is a free service that pairs you with a local advisor to help you sort through your options and find a perfect place. a place for mom. you know your family we know senior living. together we ll make the right choice.

states. he made those comments during a news conference today with the prime minister there, shinzo abe in tokyo. japan is the president s first stop in a trip across asia. the president defended his tough talk calling north korea a threat to the civilized world. the era of strategic patience is over. some people said that my rhetoric is very strong. look what has happened with very weak rhetoric over the last 25 years. look where we are right now. shepard: prime minister abe is taking a tougher stand on north korea. he said he agreed with president trump that all options are on the table when dealing with kim jong-un. kevin corke is with the president. kevin? five countries, 12 days. the president very busy. during his time here in japan, it was trade in north korea topping the agenda. he s expected to leave japan in about five hours from now and make his way to seoul in south korea. as he talked about north korea, he has made it clear the united states will do all it needs to do and all it can do to not just protect the homeland but our allies a broad. take a listen. the united states of america stands in solidarity with the people of japan against the north korean menace. history has proven over and over today that strong and free nations will always prevail over tyrants who oppress their people. the president did reiterate his charge that the time for talk is over, shepard, and that seems to be now reiterated, as you can well imagine from the prime minister of japan. listen to prime minister abe not long ago. north korea has used the talks just to gain time to further develop the nuclear program as well as missiles. north korean dialogue for the purpose of dialogue is meaningless. that is our experience. that in an interview with our bret baier very interesting conversation. the president also met with japanese nationals during his time here whose family members were kidnapped by the rogue regime. he mentioned that in a speech at the united nations calling for their safe return. the president did criticize the japanese for a huge trade imbalance. he suggested they build more plants for autos to help close the gap. there s been a consternation percolating on social media and online in the wake of some pictures, this is the president sharing a little time with shinzo abe feeding some coy at a palace here in tokyo. online, they were suggesting the president poured out his food. look at the pictures. shinzo abe did it first and then the president did it second. if you read something that the president didn t do what he was supposed to do, that might be an instance of fake news. shepard? shepard: the latest tough talk on north korea and what to expect in south korea. that s next from fox news. of grn of grn coffee roasters sumatra reserve. let s go to sumatra. the coffee here is amazing. because the volcanic soil is amazing. so we give farmers like win more plants. to grow more delicious coffee. which helps provide for win s family. all, for a smoother tasting cup of coffee. green mountain coffee roasters. in the mirror everyday. when i look when i look in the mirror everyday. everyday, i think how fortunate i am. i think is today going to be the day, that we find a cure? i think how much i can do to help change people s lives. i may not benefit from those breakthroughs, but i m sure going to. i m bringing forward a treatment for alzheimer s disease, yes, in my lifetime, i will make sure. shepard: president trump continuing his talk about north korea in his first trip to asia as commander-in-chief. as we reported, the president called north korea a threat to the civilized world and shinzo abe says he agrees with president trump that all options are on the table. let s go to louise, a white house reporter from the wall street journal. hello. thanks for having me. shepard: how did this go today? pretty well. the japanese have responded very positively to the sort of rhetoric that we ve heard out of the american president and out of the trump administration for several months now. that was certainly true after his u.n. general assembly speech as well. shepard: so louise, next is south korea. what are the challenges there? well, in some ways, theish yaw of north korea has overshadowed much of the foreign policy of the president s asian trip. so that will certainly obviously be on the agenda there as well. there are also trade issues in south korea, a bilateral trade agreement that the president has criticized before. he said his main goal is to straighten it out. that s something to talk about there. shepard: what else is on the agenda with south korea? tensions are high there. it s been suggested if he faces any popular push-back, it might come in south korea because everywhere else they control things nicely. again, in south korea, the key issue is, as for everybody else, the question of north korea. the united states has been working with south korea to iron out the issues around a missile defense system that they want in south korea where there s been popular hostility to that in the past. that issue is largely behind them. the question of what the united states means when it says that it is interested in keeping all military options on the table for north korea is something that preoccupies everybody, particularly the country and the regime s closest neighbors. shepard: and the rest of the trip. this is a long trip for anybody. it is a long trip. a long trip in which anybody including reporters on it could expect to find grueling. the president is no stranger to that experience, too. they re all in this together in that sense. he has a number of issues on the table including multilateral conversations to be had at later stages in the chinese phase. there s everything from north crow to trade and particular issues to each country like the question of chinese made fence mill. when the president spoke about opioids, he said he would bring up as a subject when he met with the chinese because chinese made fentanyl is one of the factors in the opioid epidemic in the united states. shepard: thanks, louise. great to see you. thank you. thank you. shepard: updating fox s top story, the murder at the church in texas. we re hearing from the pastor s wife whose young daughter was one of the victims. we ll hear from her coming up. the mystery over the attack on senator rand paul at his own home. what we re learning about his injuries and the suspect s lawyer has to say and in a matter of two days this went from rand paul has a minor injury to this is very serious. there s so much we don t know. we ll get to all of it coming up. psoriatic arthritis tries to get in my way? watch me. i ve tried lots of things for my joint pain. now? watch me. think i d give up showing these guys how it s done? please. real people with active psoriatic arthritis are changing the way they fight it. they re moving forward with cosentyx®. it s a different kind of targeted biologic. it s proven to help people find less joint pain and clearer skin. don t use if you are allergic to cosentyx. before starting cosentyx you should be checked for tuberculosis. an increased risk of infections and lowered ability to fight them may occur. tell your doctor if you have an infection or symptoms of an infection. or if you have received a vaccine, or plan to. if you have inflammatory bowel disease tell your doctor if symptoms develop or worsen. serious allergic reactions may occur. with less joint pain, watch me. for less joint pain and clearer skin, ask your rheumatologist about cosentyx. . shepard: headlines from the fox news deck. the president of argentina visiting the site of the terror attack here in north city. five of the victims that died were from argentina. they were celebrating their high school graduation. police say a suspect killed eight people when he drove on a bike path in lower manhattan before an officer shot and wounded him. a possible tornado wounded eight in ohio. that s according to officials in salina. they say the injured are not life threatening. crews are working to restore power for tens of thousands. local tv stations report that a group of farmers rescued 400 cows from a flattened barn. a free car wash on a highway in houston. i don t know if you want it or not. a water main broken along an interstate drenching cars as they drove by. thankfully nobody injured. the car is no worse for wear. the morning of august 6, i looked over at the big screen tv and i saw breaking news. 30 navy seals killed in a helicopter crash. i looked over, saw my wife in the front door. as soon as i turned and saw that navy chaplain, i knew he was dead. he was the heart and soul of our family. my dad, he was always the first one to go help other people. he loved being a navy seal. i was really proud of him and everything that he did. he was good to all of us. he was kind, he was caring. he was very proud to serve our country. chris saw going in the know i have, becoming a navy seal as a challenge in his life. that s the way chris was. he enjoyed helping others. the next couple days after chris was killed, i called my parents, they just discovered that he had included a happened written note with his will asking for 100,000 people to donate to wounded warrior project. he wanted to help out. ever since he passed away, i ve been trying to reach that goal. you can help chris final wish come true with a donation to wounded warrior project. now is the time to show your support. now is the time to show you care. shepard: about half of the victims that died in texas were children. that s what a sheriff told television stations. one public safety commission described the community coming together. this community was struck by an unthinkable tragedy. we would like to keep our thoughts and prayers with those that lost loved ones, the victims and the entire community that has come together to support each other. we re learning more about the victims. annabelle pomeroy went by the name of belle. she was the youngest of six. here s her parents, frank and sherri pomeroy. their 14-year-old daughter went to church while they were away and a man came in and murdered her. the gunman killed eight members of another family, including kids, grandkids and great grandkids. and the pastor that was filling in from another community. he s dead, too. adam housley is live in souther land springs outside san antonio. details they tell us are coming once all the next of kin are notified. i guess they haven t been yet, adam. no, they haven t yet. a lot of connections in the community. at this hour, you have 15 people still in hospitals. for example, a university medical center, the location where one of the children that was brought there died, there s still three more children fighting for their lives and three adults in critical condition. we re told that even some of the first responders in nearby churches when they heard about the shooting, jumped in their cars and race here. the scene unthinkable. this from brigadier general jeffery johnson, the commander of the brooke army medical center about what they saw. the injuries that we saw are what we see on the battle field. for what we do on the battlefield for what we did yesterday is very natural to us. shep, information coming in now. we know the shooter had four weapons. two were bought here in texas from academy sports in san antonio. they put out a release saying he purchased two weapons there and passed a background check both times, shepard. shepard: i was listening to the pastor s wife. it s unthinkable. she said most of the congregation is dead. she doesn t know what she s going to do now. you can t process it. you can t. the first comment we had, shepard, when we showed up, only a handful of people inside that building weren t shot. there were 60 people there. only a few were not either killed or injuries. the guy down the streets, two houses down, told me he didn t have any relatives inside but two of the kids that were there mowed his lawn the other day. everybody knows each other in this littletown. you can imagine the pastor that was not there that normally streams the services is devastated that his wife had this to say about the loss of their daughter and so many loved ones in the church. we were a very close family. we ate together, we laughed together, we cried together and we worshipped together. now most of our church family is gone. our building is probably beyond repair and the few of us that are left behind lost tragically yesterday. shepard, you re in the south. you know how the small towns are. i lived here for a while. this is smaller than a small town, this is a town without a main street. just a little community where everybody knew each other and almost everybody, a lot of them, would go to that church on sundays. it s changed forever. shepard: thanks, adam. there s mystery surrounding the attack on senator rand paul, a story that s been evolving since the early part of the weekend. a staffer for the senator now says his injuries after an attack are so severe that it s not clear when he will be back to work on capitol hill. prolonged absence coming. here s the story as we have it at this moment. rand paul friday cutting his grass. head phones on. can t hear anything. police say a neighbor ambushed senator paul, assaulted him outside of his home in bowling green, kentucky. the first report came from state police. that was this. senator paul has a minor injury. that was saturday. now the senator s office reports he has five rib fractures, some displaced ribs and bruised lungs. police arrested renee boucher. the charge fourth degree misdemeanor assault. they say they don t know what this was about. which means they haven t asked? also, fourth degree misdemeanor assault? he s out on $7,500 bail after attacking a sitting united states senator and sending him to the hospital for a prolonged absence in great pain. the suspect s lawyer says the two men had an ongoing dispute. they had been neighbors for 17 years. chad pergram has more. he s live on capitol hill. you know, it s been my experience, chad, that over like 30 years, when you get one story and then you get another story and pieces of a story and then comes don t something ain t right. what do we not know here? that s the very thing here. we don t know. this is the enigma. it s one of these situations that we re here at the capitol where people walked to me every day and said what about that bizarre story with senator paul? nobody has any more answers than they did on saturday afternoon. senators will start to roll in to the capitol in the next couple hours. hopefully we ll get more information. i thought it was interesting the usual capitol security sources that i talked with, they kind of clammed up. what we do know and have new this hour, matthew baker, an attorney for the suspect in this case, indicates that this was an unfortunate incident. he calls it a regrettable dispute. he notes that they have been neighbors for 17 years and hopes that they can get back to being neighborly. doesn t have anything to do with politics and over something trivial. shepard: a a regrettable mistake? if that story is true, senator paul is mowing his lawn with his ear phones on and his neighbor attacks him and leaves him in bad shape. then he s charged with a fourth degree misdemeanor sault and out on $7,500 bail? the whole room stinks. not sure what it is, but it stinks. we re told the charge could have been upgraded if he used a weapon. the fact that he will be out the fact that the senator s office, the story changed saturday afternoon. we were told he s was fine. they were minor injuries. now we re told that there s internal injuries that could cause a problem down the road with organs or internal bleeding. he s in pretty bad shape and in significant pain, shep. i should point out there s agreeing trend when it comes to lawmakers of getting injured. you had the steve scalise baseball shooting. rand paul was on that field. there was an incident that was under the radar in may. a republican congressman was followed by a woman that didn t like how he voted on the healthcare bill. basically also drove him off the road. she was charged, shep. shepard: i m trying to figure i me they had a property dispute for a long time. i read that. i figure that must be true. if i m tooling along on my john deere and cutting the back 40 there at nana s house in holly springs and some yahoo from next door cracks my ribs, that person is going to get more than a $7,500 bail. you know what i m not? i m not a united states senator. this is going to volve, right, chad? yeah, we expect to hear more. people are dealing with tax reform in the house and the next couple days, probably in the united states senate. mitch mcconnell knows that that vote for tax reform is on a razor s edge. he said well, i m having another maalox moment. he indicated that he needs all hands on deck. senator paul was a no a couple weeks ago. it s unknown how he would vote on this. in fact, he were to be absence, it might help in a strange way. but there s three u.s. senators on the republican side that have health problems. senator paul, thad cochran from mississippi and john mccain who we learned had a procedure over the weekend who had an achilles tendon problem. there s are three senators on the republican side and it s another variable that could imperil tax reform if any of them are away for a significant time. shepard: so the suspect has a lawyer. does rand paul have a lawyer on this matter? is he speak something. that s the weird part here. we hear from rand paul s office all the time. i got a statement a couple days ago that he was going to endorse kelly ward. he had some press reporters over to his office for some bourbon a couple weeks ago. this is typical from senator paul. there was almost radio silence from his office after this incident. the fact that the original information didn t square with the latest information is strange. i have very good sources here at the capitol when it comes to security forces and u.s. capitol police. u.s. capitol police clammed up. and said we didn t discuss on going investigations. i ve gotten very little since we found out about this saturday, something that occurred on friday, no less. shepard: has his family said anything? the police say they don t know what happened. not a word. the fact that it took a couple days to hear from boucher s attorneys. he described it as an unfortunate incident. shepard: smells like a skunk in the chicken house but i haven t seen the skunk. we re digging, shep. we are. i ve been on the phone all day, saturday, sunday. i ve been looking at this for two days now. shepard: twitter will decide and then it will be too late. thanks, chad. shepard: happy to do it. a federal judge making a pretrail ruling for paul manafort in his conspiracy case. that s next.

freedom has made america exceptional, but it can only last if you and i choose to act as people of character. forging character has been the pursuit of hillsdale college since 1844. remember that accident i got in with the pole, and i had to make a claim and all that? is that whole thing still dragging on? no, i took some pics with the app and. filed a claim, but. you know how they send you money to cover repairs and. they took forever to pay you, right? no, i got paid right away, but. at the very end of it all, my agent. wouldn t even call you back, right? no, she called to see if i was happy. but if i wasn t happy with my claim experience for any reason, they d give me my money back, no questions asked. can you believe that? no. the claim satisfaction guarantee, only from allstate. switching to allstate is worth it. shepard: so as timing would have it, i just got the arrest report from the kentucky state police on rand paul. we just finished this segment. i just got it. it s interesting. they say that this defendant did unlawfully cause physical injury and pain to the victim. a kentucky state trooper states that he responded to the address i m not going to read that and the property and reference to a delayed assault. one more time. responded to the property as a result of a delayed assault. i don t know what that means, delayed assault. don t know. the victim, rand paul, told police that his neighbor came on to his property and tackled him from behind, forcing him to the ground and causing him pain. the affidavit states that rand paul had injuries to his face, including small cuts to the nose and mouth area and had trouble breathing due to a potential rib injury, which we now know is five fractured ribs, three displaced. then being seen by a physician. that was friday. the defendant admitted going on to rand paul s property and tackling him. back to the top. he responded to the address in reference to a delayed assault. the time of the arrest not arrest. the time of this incident is listed as friday in bowling green, kentucky. renee boucher is the person that is said to be the assailant. one count, assault, fourth degree with a minor injury. a u.s. senator in the hospital, cannot come to washington for a prolonged period of time, could have injuries internally as a result of this. at the moment, he was charged with assault in the fourth degree. a minor injury. in addition, the man has been released on $7,500 bond. there s more. i don t have it. we ll get it. we ll be back. why did you take credit card debt on? second kid. private school. medical bills. moving costs. solid ground. a personal loan from sofi is a smart way to consolidate credit card debt. certain borrowers cut their credit card interest rates 42% and increased credit

government to satisfy their questions about the financial issues. in manafort s case, $10 million for bond. the speaker of the house said despite all of the pressure on these aides, the special counsel is not going anywhere. we need to let these career professionals do their jobs, see it through. so no, i don t think he should be stepping down. i don t think he should be fired. the president has made it clear he s not going to do that. nbc has been reporting today there s sufficient evidence to bring an indictment against former national security adviser mike flynn. flynn s lawyer was not responding to requests for comment today. my contacts say they don t expect anything imminently, but they point out it s often a tactic in these cases to have these kinds of leaks to put pressure on the individual to see whether they will cut some kind of deal and cooperate with the government. shepard: katherine, the russian lawyer has done an interview with bloomberg. what does she say? yes, she was at the heart of the trump tower meeting what is significant here, shep, for a couple months, senator chuck grassley has had a hundred questions with her to answer about what went down in that meeting. instead responding to the senator, she has chosen to do this interview with bloomberg. we got one question. she alleges that donald trump jr. was willing to re-visit the sanctions. he wanted hard evidence of illegal activities by the clinton campaigns, shep. shepard: catherine herridge live outside the courthouse. florida state university, this has happened in the last few minutes, florida state university has just banned every single fraternity and sorority on its campus. representatives from the school call it an indefinite suspension. at fsu they note it comes days after a pledge died following a party and cops busted a frat member for cocaine trafficking in an unrelated case. the school president says it s time for a new normal when it comes the greek life. he s putting a ban on alcohol at all school events. fsu is not the first college to put a ban on things. a half dozen others have taken the similar actions in the recent past. if he d taken tylenol, he d be stopping for more pills right now. only aleve has the strength to stop tough pain for up to 12 hours with just one pill. tylenol can t do that. aleve. all day strong. all day long. shepard: a lot upcoming in the next few minutes on fox news channel. at the some were some of the texas massacre victims are being treated, they re going to hold a news conference. the microphones are set up there.

resume after a boat sinking in budapest, hungary. 21 people still missing. also ahead, the last abortion clinic in missouri. we ll know in the next 24 hours if it will be allowed to continue operations or if it will be shut down for good. the casualty of america s long-running battle on abortion. welcome to our viewers here in the united states and all around the world. i m george howell. the cnn newsroom starts now. 3:01 on the u.s. east coast. president trump s anger over illegal immigration is taking a form of a new threat, tariffs, used as a weapon against mexico. in a series of tweets, president trump said he would impose a 5% tariff starting june 10th, unless mexico stops illegal immigrants from entering the united states. and that will increase until the problem is solved. but mexico s president is telling president trump, i don t want confrontation. he says he is sending some government representatives to washington friday, hoping to reach an agreement that both countries will be happy with. all this comes as u.s. customs and border patrol apprehended the largest group of migrants it has encountered. more than 900 were families that crossed over. whether you call it venting or a tirade, president trump had a lot to say thursday. a lot of it, filled with falsehoods. jim acosta has this. reporter: one day after robert mueller left the door open to the possibility that the president has engaged in criminal activity, the president fired back. i think mueller is a true never trumper. he is somebody that doesn t like donald trump. he was appointed. and despite that, and despite $40 million, 18 trump haters, including people who work for hillary clinton and some of the worst human beings on earth, they got nothing. it s pretty amazing. reporter: but much of what the president said wasn t true. for starters, the latest cost of the mueller report and russia investigation is $25 million, not $40 million. and as for the president s claim, that mueller was conflicted, steve bannon told investigators the search was ridiculous. and the president said that mueller wanted the position of fbi director. but that s not true, either, according to people around him. the president appeared to make a startling admission. russia, russia, russia. russia has disappeared because i had nothing to do with russia helping me get elected. but the president tried to clean up that part about russia helping him get elected. russia did not get me elected. i got me elected. russia, if anything, i think, helped the other side. reporter: here s the reality. a 2017 u.s. intelligence community report stated, we assessed putin and the russian government had a clear preference for president-elect trump. russia, if you re listening, i hope you re able to find the 30,000 e-mails that are missing. i think you will probably be rewarded mightily by our press. reporter: the president appeared sickened by the idea of being impeached. it s a dirty word, the word impeach. it s a dirty, filthy, disgusting word and had nothing to do with me. reporter: even as democrats are using the i word more and more. i think we should open up an impeachment inquiry. that s a more direct name to the oversight we were already involved in. reporter: the president claims he has nothing to do with the efforts made to hide the uss john mccain when he was in japan. i don t know what happened. i was angry with john mccain because he killed health care. i was not a fan of john mccain in any way, shape or form. reporter: former vice president joe biden said his legacy should be honored. john mccain was a war hero anything less than that is beneath someone that doesn t treat him that way. he is a hero. a lot to talk about. let s bring in cnn s senior political analyst, ron bro brownstein. good to have you with us. thanks, george. let s talk about the tariffs, starting june 10th and increasing each month, if that nation doesn t, as he said in a tweet, stop, immigrants crossing the border from mexico illegally. as far as the nation is concerned, what would it mean for the united states? what would it mean for mexico? we ve seen the mexican government, to a striking extent, really, try to avoid conflict with trump, even though it is a left-leaning government. it will be interesting to see how they react to this. mexico and mexico and the u.s. are important trading partners of each other. i believe mexico is the second-largest source of cars manufactured in the u.s., after the u.s. itself. the largest foreign source. it s become an important destination for u.s. exports. this will be a lot of pressure on both countries. all this comes at a time when 2018 signaled that the southwestern states in the u.s., arizona, colorado, nevada, new mexico and even to some extent texas, really are the emerging frontier of the competition between the parties. and republicans are at risk of losing their traditional advantage in many of those states. particularly arizona. this is going to put more pressure on the elected officials from the states because it s already unpopular. you saw the arizona chamber of commerce issue a statement today. what will martha mcsally, the republican senator, say about it. what will john cornyn and cory gardner in colorado say about it? is it legal? it is not clear that the president has the legal authority to impose tariffs at this scale. and we know white house lawyers are talking to lawmakers to get them comfortable with this approach. is this something that could get tied up in legal challenges even before that june 10th date arrives? i saw chuck grassley, the chairman of the senate finance committee, question the legality of it. we ll see. this is an area where congress can make a clear statement against this. that would require republicans to do something they almost have never done, which is to vote against the president. if he does go ahead with this, as he does with everything else, we would likely see it go to court. i m not enough of an expert in the trade laws to tell you, whether this will be able to be sustained in court. but it was striking that grassley tonight, was out there right away, questioning whether the president really had the authority to do this. this comes on the heels of the u.s. and canada. this replaces nafta. what impact does this have on the u.s. mca, whether it gets ratified? that s striking about all this. on the same day the president submitted a language to congress that is designed to set the clock in motion to force the house to vote on his revised, updated nafta, after the speaker nancy pelosi signaled clearly that democrats want more time to consider it. this does kind of make a mockery of the whole idea of a free trade agreement between the three countries. when you say you are going to use tariffs as a way of putting pressure on mexico, for an issue that is unrelated to trade, the obvious question, is this is going to put anxiety on the supporters of free trade and the mexican government, who has gone out of the way to avoid conflict with trump. we saw the president do something today that he s not done before. president trump admitting on twitter that russia helped him get elected and attempting to walk it back not even an hour after that. this is the first time we ve ever seen him do so. it was remarkable. it gave the suggest that it was a tweet sent in rage more than anything. robert mueller, if anything, he has signaled he wants to be a noncombatant from here on out. it is a piece, when the president feels like he is under threat, he attacks the whatever source. he attacks the legitimacy to whatever he perceives to be the threat. today, he tweeted before he thought and acknowledged what the mueller report made abundantly clear and what mueller repeated in his statement yesterday. that russia s interference was not just to sew discord in the u.s., it was to benefit one candidate, donald trump, and hurt another, hillary clinton. and the president stepped up his attacks on robert mueller. listen. i think he s conflicted. and he loves comey. you look at the relationship that those two whether it s love or a deep like. he should he was conflicted. robert mueller should have never been chosen. i think he is a total, conflicted person. i think mueller is a true never-trumper. ron, you ll remember, there was a time when president trump, his staff, his surrogates, all praised robert mueller and his team and his report. now, mr. trump suggesting that mueller was conflicted in his work. how does that stand in your view? or does it come across as if this president is conflicted on mueller? i mean, it is i think this is the preempted attempt of discrediting mueller now. what the president anticipates will be public testimony, however reluctant from the former special counsel. and what can you say about this? the president reverses himself and runs back over his tracks. there s a reason why his approval rating among the public is running roughly 35 points below the share of people saying the economy is good or excellent. that s an unimaginable number for anyone who has been around politics overtime. it is this sense among a significant portion of voters that question his temperament, in the language he uses and the sentiments he expresses. and every time he does something like this, aimed at providing talking points for sean hannity and the fox radio hosts, he s n incentivizing the goal of stirring up his base. it s the core political trade of his presidency. he does it every day in a different way. this is an example of that. ron brownstein, we appreciate your time and perspective today. thank you. thank you. now, to the issue of abortion in the united states. it is legal in this country. but several conservative states are adopting bills that restrict women s access to safe abortion. louisiana, the latest to pass a near total ban. on thursday, that state s governor signed a bill outlawing abortion six weeks into pregnancy, before many women would know they are pregnant. the state of georgia, facing blowback from big companies. they may stop making movies and tv shows in this state if the abortion law takes effect. and a court battle in missouri, to keep the last functioning abortion clinic functioning in that state. the clinic operator tells cnn, they are being held hostage by political regulators. in the state of missouri, we ve had targeted regulations of abortion providers and the rules put in place for decades that have continually regulated abortion to the point that, while the law of the land, as you pointed out in your intro, shows abortion is legal in the country, it is totally different from state-to-state and region-to-region. and in the state of missouri, abortion has been legal but not accessible for so many women. and that s true in parts of the united states. i talked to women about the things they talk to me about when they seek an abortion. the things that i m forced to talk to them about because the state health department requirements. in addition to invasive pelvic exams that aren t necessary. and i tell them, i m sorry you have to go through these things. and i m sorry but i don t know if i can take care of you next week. the missouri court will make its ruling on friday. a major search is going on in hungary, on the danube river. at least seven south korean tourists were killed in that incident. hungarian police have detained the ship s captain as they continue to investigate the cause of the crash. translator: on the recordings, you can see the small ship and the big ship, both of them heading north. mermaid turns in front of viking for some unknown reason. viking flips it. and in seven seconds, mermaid falls on its side and sinks. paula hancocks has the latest there. reporter: it s being treated as a search and rescue operation. but hopes are starting to dim of finding survivors on survivors of the danube river. the search and rescue teams have extended the area they are searching. 30 kilometers downstream they re searching, as well. we know strong currents and the intense rainfall recently has made the rescue operation very difficult. now, we also know that more than 40 family members from here, from south korea, are heading to budapest to see what they can do to find their family members. we know that there s a rapid response team that s going to be in the area and also the foreign minister will be heading over to head this up. of the 35 people onboard this ship, the mermaid, 33 of them were south korean. we know also that the south korean president, moon jae-in, had spoken to the hungarian minister. he had assured there were divers and medical professionals trying to find survivors. what we heard from police, that after this collision, between the mermaid and the cruise ship, the mermaid had very little time to get passengers off of the ship. authorities will be salvaging the ship. they believe it could take days to actually bring it from the bottom of the danube. at this point, it is still being treated as a search and rescue operation. authorities saying they re doing everything they can to try and find more of the passengers. paula hancocks, cnn, seoul. still ahead, president trump gives israel s prime minister a map of israel that includes the golan heights. we ll tell you what the prime minister wrote on it, ahead. and arab leaders hold emergency summits to call out iran for alleged

oh, look, karolyn, we ve got a mathematician on our hands! check it out! now you can schedule a callback or reschedule an appointment, even on nights and weekends. today s xfinity service. simple. easy. awesome. i d rather not. welcome back to viewers here in the united states and around the world. you re watching cnn newsroom live from the atl. i m george howell. this hour, a search and rescue operation is under way in budapest, hungary. this for 21 people after a river cruise ship collided with a sightseeing boat in the danube. at least seven south korean tourists were killed on that boat. police have detained the cruise ship captain. the u.s. president is telling the mexico president that there will be tariffs if they don t stop illegal migrants coming into the united states. the u.s. president also went on a falsehood-filled tirade thursday. among other things, he attacked special counsel robert mueller and he declared that mueller said he was innocent and called him a, quote, never-trumper. and he said that russia wanted hillary clinton to win the presidency. that s not true. the russian president himself said he wanted trump to win the presidency. it is clear that president trump is tired of dealing with the russia investigation. he attacks every chance he gets and just wants to move on. and he has company, in moscow. our fred polite ken explains. reporter: the statement this russia meddled in the 2016 election. that allegation deserves the attention of every american. reporter: despite the mueller report s clear findings, moscow continues denying attacking the u.s. democracy. blasting and mocking the special counsel. a senior member saying, mueller failed to put the blame on russia, as well as to prove russia s connections to trump. now, he is trying to justify himself in front of those who have placed serious hopes in him. we have a lot of questions. reporter: moscow claims it was anti-trump democrats that pushed the mueller probe. and that was trump s messaging he repeated this morning. 18 trump haters and people who worked for hillary clinton and some of the worst human beings on earth, they got nothing. reporter: despite the kremlin submitting documents to suspend a key nuclear arms treaty with the u.s., the kremlin and the trump white house seem eager to move on and improve relations. mike pompeo traveled to russia this month to meet with vladimir putin and sergey lavrov, to work out areas where the u.s. and russia can cooperate. vladimir putin s spokesman refused to talk about robert mueller s statement. translator: no. i can t comment on that. we spent enough time talking about mr. mueller and the results of his work. reporter: russia has long said it wants to get relations with the u.s. back on track, claiming continued talk about election interference would only get in the way. fred pitt polite ken, cnn, moscow. we have yet to hear from the woman who was among the first to sound the alarm in moscow s election interference. her name is reality winter. she was a u.s. intelligence specialist who leaked the classified report on russia s cyber attack against the u.s. voting system. for that, she is serving more than five years in prison and is prohibited from speaking with news media. our reporter spoke with her mother as she traveled to visit her daughter in prison. this is a soldier who protected us. reporter: reality lee winner. a decorated airman. when you see somebody go poof on your screen, you ve got to have it right. reporter: a russia whistle-blower, the first to be arrested in the trump era. and cnn has learned, currently blocked by u.s. prison authorities from speaking to the media for any publication purposes. in may 2017, reality winner leaked a classified nsa document to a media organization, describing a russian cyber attack on a u.s. voting machine company. it was the first time the extent of russia s war on the u.s. s electoral machinery was revealed to the public. winner did little to cover her tracks and was arrested even before the document was published online. she pleaded guilty and is currently serving a sentence of over five years. the prosecutor said winner had leaked top secret information that revealed intelligence sources and methods. reality s mother, billie, invited us along as she went to visit her in jail. today, we are traveling up to ft. worth, which, it s probably about a 7, 7 1/2-hour road trip. reporter: what are you thinking about? the anticipation of seeing her, being able to hug her. reporter: this is as far as we are allowed to go, even though we ve been seeking permission for months now, to interview reality in prison. but we ve been stonewalled by authorities. as we wait for billie, prison officers come by. what are you all doing? we re with cnn. cnn. reporter: trying to block our line of sight. eventually, we just leave. the united states federal bureau of krn teprisons tells cnn, the worden s decision is final. we ve been blocked from interviewing reality, her mother, billie, agrees to give us her first major tv interview since reality began serving her sentence. how was reality? that s a hard question to answer. i can see the sadness in her when we show up. i feel like she s embarrassed to be where she s at. reporter: the prosecution argued the release of those documents endangered american national interests. we, as americans, deserved that proof. how is it she put us in danger by giving us that proof? i wouldn t change what she s done. what she did was noble. and i think what she did was patriotic. reporter: we have been blocked from accessing reality. has reality, as far as you know, come under pressure to stop her from speaking to the press? she has been warned. she has been frightened, as far as restrictions on her communications. she knows, with her plea agreement, what she can and cannot discuss. but the bureau of prisons has made it harder for her. they re telling her she cannot have contact with any journalists or media in any way, shape or form. why do you think the shorts a authorities are so hard to block reality s access with the outside world hearing her voice? the prosecution painted her to be a very evil person. and i honestly believe that they re afraid, that if america gets to know who reality winner really, is they re going to see that wasn t the case at all. reporter: if you could say anything to the president, what would you say to him? i would say release her. she deserves it above anyone else. she has served her country. she deserves this. reporter: back at home, billie says she s going to keep campaigning for her daughter to be released. keep trying to show the world that her daughter is not the traitor she was portrayed as. this is my christmas card when she was in jail that first year. you deserve so much more than this little card because you are my mom and my home. that s what reality is, you know? reporter: cnn, kingsville, texas. now, to the aircraftmaker boeing. one night assume simulated training would be mandatory for a sophisticated plane like the 737 max, especially after two crashes. but it turns out that s not the case. boeing is proposing putting the planes back into service without giving pilots additional experience in simulators. our drew griffin, explained his thoughts on that earlier. boeing and the faa have yet to announce the final package and proposal, as farr as software and retraining packages to bring the 737 max back online in the united states. but what we are learning is that boeing has proposed the various u.s.-based pilot groups, that when the 737 max is returned to service, it will not include any kind of recommendation for hands-on simulator training for 737 max pilots. it would just include what they would call a computer-based training or retraining program on the mcas system. that means that airlines would not have to take the expense and the time to put their 737 max fleet pilots back through a simulator training. so, it would be an economic win for the airlines. the question, though, is would it be a safety win for the pilots and the flying public? the pilots we ve talked to seem to be split on this, believing that simulator training does not necessarily have to be required. although some think that maybe out of the abundance of caution, the faa should require it. we re waiting for that final proposal. but this would be a big step in speeding along the 737 max back into the air, if retraining on a simulator was not required. again, that s the voice of our senior investigative correspondent, drew griffin, following that story. now, to singer r. kelly facing new and serious charges in his sexual abuse case. he s been indicted in chicago on 11 new counts on sexual abuse and assault. four are felonies that have maximum penalties of 30 years in prison. it s the latest legal headache for kelly, who has faced accusations of abuse, manipulation and inappropriate encounters with young women for more than two decades. r. kelly has consistently maintained he is innocent. the governor of arkansas says flooding in his state is almost unbelievable. and the pictures you see here, the devastation, it is incredible. officials say it could get even worse. that story is next. termites. we re on the move. hey rick, all good?
