Home statement one week before new yorks primary election. 60 support for trump compared to kasichs 17 , cruzs 14 . Well take it up with billionaire investor wilbur ross who says if donald trump is the nominee, he will indeed be supporting him. Also tonight, the Chinese Military deploying fighter jets to an island in the south china sea, the subject of claims by a number of countries including japan and the philippines. New satellite imagery provided exclusively to fox news shows these two chinese fighter jets that are remarkably similar to american f15th on on woody island. The chinese have already placed surfacetoair Missile Systems on the disputed islands. Ill take it up, discussing chinas provocations with House Armed Serves Committee member congressman Duncan Hunter. Congressman hunter, also cochair of the trump campaigns house leadership committee. And House Speaker paul ryan today declared he wont permit his name to be put forward for president. This after weeks of seemingly fueling the speculation himself. Ryan saying today he does not want nor will he accept the republican nomination. However, speaker ryan still managed to criticize those who are running and in an unprecedented manner insisted personal policy agenda should be considered equal to that of the partys president ial nominee. Politics today, it tends to drift towards personality contests, not policy contests. Insults get ink more than ideas. But we still owe it to the country to show what we want do if given a mandate from the people. We have an obligation to give a clear picture, a clear choice to talk about solutions. Lou former House SpeakerNewt Gingrich will weigh in on all of that and much more, joining me later in the broadcast. Our top story tonight the republican race for the white house. Were now exactly one week from the critical primary election in new york, where trump is hoping to take all of the states 95 delegates. Trump today campaigning in new york, in rome, new york where he kept up his attack on the Republican National committee and the Colorado Republican Party for how colorado decided to award their delegates without a vote being cast. Fox News Senior National correspondent john roberts is in rome, new york and has our report. Reporter donald trump started the day with much needed good news when missouri declared him the winner of last months photo finish primary netting him an additional 12 delegates over ted cruz. Trump was complaining about what happened in colorado over the weekend. Our republican system is absolutely rigged. The Republican National committee, they should be ashamed of themselves for allowing this kind of crap to happen. Reporter because it has nothing to do with democracy. They took the votes away from the people in colorado. People are burning up their republican cards. Reporter colorado senator Corey Gardner took trump to task over complaints, tweeting gardner adding in california, ted cruz took glee in mocking trumps reaction to losing. He yells and screams and stamps his foot. He curses and yells, and insults anyone nearby. Look, as we know in the state of california, wine is something best served with cheese. Reporter while he has a hill to climb to become the nominee trump is making a pivot to the general election unveiling a new line of attack for a possible run against hillary clinton. Her whole life has been a big fat beautiful lie. Its been a terrible, terrible lie. Everything about her is a lie. Reporter and trump also indicated he is willing to make nice with some of his opponents, current and former. Revealing he would consider john kasich, marco rubio and scott walker for vp pick or positions in his cabinet. Not enough. Reporter kasich wasnt in a mood for trumps musings today. The governor who only on occasion dips toe in the water to criticize his opponents jumped in with both feet insisting trump and cruz would take america down a path to darkness. Ive stood on a stage and washed with amazement as candidates wallowed in the mud, viciously attacked one another, called each other liars, and disparaged each others character. Those who continuously push that type of behavior are not worthy of the office they are seeking. Reporter kasichs speech about two paths for america drew a rare zinger from the Cruz Campaign which said in a tweet that read irony, a man with no path reads a speech about two paths. Getting rough out there, lou. Lou john roberts, thank you. Our first guest tonight, one of the first congressman to endorse donald trump on capitol hill. Joining us, republican congressman Duncan Hunter of california. Hes now a cochairman of the trump campaigns house leadership committee. He serves on a number of key house committees including armed services. Congressman, great to have you with us. Lets start with your speaker deciding hes not going to permit his name to be put into nomination. Your reaction. Good, number one. Hes a great speaker of the house. He ought to stay here and keep doing what hes doing. But if its going to be anybody, if these kinds of things are going to be done, should be somebody then whoet already run for president and has been in the debates and stood on the stage. One of the 17, not somebody from the outside because theres other folks out there that are smart, too. Why shouldnt they be the republican nominee . Lou there are a lot of smart people as you say, but only three left in the contest. John roberts reported theres no pathway for john kasich, for example. So the two men standing at this point, truly, are your candidate donald trump and senator cruz. Should it not be limited as rule 40 b from 2012 would suggest to the two who have won eight contests . Should be, yeah. It should be left up to the people that the American People voted for up to this point predominantly, thats cruz and trump, and kasich in a sense. But cruz and trump should be the last two, thats it. Lets get to that convention and fight it out and see what happens in the end. Im not a Convention Delegate guy. What i just kind of am is a straight shooter who likes donald trump. I like his bluntness, i like his priorities. Thats why i stand behind him. Lou and in california, your states going to have a lot to say about whether or not he makes the 1237. Ted cruz is out there, hes campaigning hard. Do you think trump can carry california . I think he can carry california. Cruz was just in san diego, and the Republican Party in san diego actually turned it into a cruz rally. So its not exactly a bunch of impartial parties in california, but i think trump carries him because california lost its middle class. There is no middle class in california anymore. What california has is the extremely wealthy and the people that serve the extremely wealthy. Thats what happened in san diego and all over the state. All the manufacturing for the most part is gone. All the middle class has left arizona and nevada, idaho, chased out by the california regulatory regime. Trump carries a lot of weight and message will be clear. Lou you know, congressman, as you say that about california, the country itself, weve watched our middle class be cut over the course of the last 40 years, not grown. We are watching stagnant wages over the course of more than three decades in this country for our middle class. How can that message not resonate for donald trump in this country and this election this year . I think, if you live in states that havent been as hurt by the exporting of millions of manufacturing jobs, if youre in one of those states where youre able to do Something Else and turn the tide or you have a good State Government that has done as much as it can to keep those jobs in those states, thats where its a little tougher for trump to win. But california is not one of the states. Lou its extraordinary. I want to turn quickly, serving on armed services, watching the chinese make it very clear that the obama withdrawal. The vacuums being created by this president and his waning months in office are just an invitation to their extension of power. Your reaction to the news that chinese fighter jets have been discovered on woody island, in the spratlies, and that it looks like a confrontation could well ensue here. So this is not just china. This is the middle east too. This is places like georgia and ukraine, where america has not led where. We dont meet force with force. What president obama doesnt understand that i think donald trump does is that the rest of the world is not like us. Western civilization only exists in a few places, europe, the United States, you have a few other places around the world trying to come up to the level that we are, but most countries are not like us, so you cant deal with them like youre dealing from wisconsin to arizona. You have to understand where they come from and they come from a place of power and understand power when they see it and understand weakness when they see it. They understand that obama is weak, and thats why i think trump scares i was in israel. Some of the folks that are not friendly to the u. S. Are scared of a Trump Presidency because they understand that he brings a type of negotiating power that hasnt been seen in quite sometime, since george bush. Lou congressman, always good to have you with us, thank you so much. Congressman Duncan Hunter. Coming right back here, a lot more straight ahead. Stay with us. Antitrump billionaires spending big money to stop trump from becoming the republican nominee. People are not going to take it anymore. Were not going to take it anymore. Its a corrupt system. Lou whos playing who . Will the corporatists and establishment elite succeed in destroying trump . What is trump doing about it . We take it up with wilbur ross here next. And a group of skateboarders with full access to a famous water park for one night only. Its go big or go home, and its all caught on red bull video. These little guys . They represent blood cells. And if you have afib an irregular heartbeat that may put you at five times greater risk of stroke they can pool together in the heart, forming a clot that can break free, and travel upstream to the brain where it can block blood flow and cause a stroke. But if you have afib thats not caused by a heart valve problem, pradaxa can help stop clots from forming. Pradaxa was even proven superior to warfarin at reducing the risk of stroke, in a Clinical Trial without the need for regular blood tests. And, in the rare event of an emergency, pradaxa is the only oral blood thinner other than warfarin with a specific reversal treatment to help your body clot normally again. Pradaxa is not for people who have had a heart valve replacement. Dont stop taking pradaxa without talking to your doctor. Stopping increases your risk of stroke or blood clots. Ask your doctor if you need to stop pradaxa before any planned medical or dental procedure. Pradaxa can cause serious, and sometimes, fatal bleeding. Dont take pradaxa if you have abnormal bleeding. And seek immediate medical care for unexpected signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. Pradaxa may increase your bleeding risk if youre 75 or older, have kidney problems, stomach ulcers, a bleeding condition, or take certain medicines. Side effects with pradaxa can include indigestion, stomach pain, upset or burning. Dont just go with the flow. Go with pradaxa, the only blood thinner that lowers your risk of stroke better than warfarin and has a specific reversal treatment. Talk to your doctor about pradaxa today. Thank you.

Politico reporting antitrump billionaires are pumping billions into ground operations all across the source is the cia itself, were seeing unsettling developments across the globe. I think the geopolitics everywhere is the most unsettled ive ever seen it. Here you have u. K. Thinking about pulling out of the eu. Spain having trouble forming a government. Europe gradually putting up fences, where the shank and the free goods of people was one of the central ideas of the eu. Lou the foundation. To begin with. Its very, very unsettled. Meanwhile have you china putting fighter jets on those Little Islands in the south seas. This is not a happy world. Lou not a happy world, and remarkably, we didnt even mention the middle east or a presidency that seems to shrinking inward. Im not going to use i guess i am going to use it, the bunker mentality seized this president. What would be the motivation for the cia . Im certainly no cia expert, but my guess would be they would be wanting to send someone a message. Its hard to imagine if it really was the cia that this got out without them leaking it, and if they did leak it, it must have been they want to send a message to someone. Lou foreign or domestic . Foreign or domestic, right, or both. Lou or both [laughter]. Lou those are the times in which we live. Does trump make it to the nomination . I think he has a good shot. I think california will be the real test. Hes got to take a pretty clean sweep in california to get to the numbers and or make a deal with one of the other candidates that has some delegates. More likely either a kasich or rubio than a ted cruz. Lou the last two fellas with, lets see, you got john kasich running in fourth place. Hes doing pretty well in new york, kasich. Lou right. Hes certainly running ahead of cruz. Lou and im not sure that we can call that well, but hes running better than cruz. Second is better than third. Lou amen, brother. Wilbur, good to see you. Thanks. Wilbur ross. Breaking news, former new Orleans Saints star will smith had a loaded. 9 millimeter handgun in his vehicle on the night he was shot and killed. There is no evidence that suggests the gun was fired. Investigators also found a fully loaded revolver inside the suspect cardell hayess car. Officials have not indicated to whom the two weapons actually belonged or whether they were registered. After that saturday night shooting, police confiscated a third gun at the scene, the 35 caliber handgun they say hayes used to shoot smith and his wife. Surveillance video has been released from a new orleans restaurant that appears to show a hitandrun incident between two vehicles just minutes before smith was fatally shot. Be sure to vote in our poll tonight, and the question tonight is cast your vote on twitter. Lou the folks at red bull at it again, were grateful. When the aqua venture water park in dubai temporarily closed for maintenance, they took full advantage. Thats right, going down a water park without water. Theyre professional skateboarders. Got the chance to perform death defying stunts on the anaconda, the Worlds Largest water slide. Look at this. Wow complete with music. You love that . That has got to be a skateboarders dream, fascinating and fun to watch, certainly. Wow. Red bull, good job. Up next, donald trump on a mission to bring back transparency to american politics. They dont want me to self fund my campaign. They dont want it because you know what . Theyre all controlled by the special interests. Theyre all controlled by their lobbyists, 100 . Lou 100 . Will he prevail . Thats the subject of my commentary coming up next, stay with us, well be right back. At mfs investment management, we believe in the power of active management. We actively manage with expertise and conviction. So you can invest with more certainty. Mfs. Thats the power of active management. Lou a few thoughts now on the republican establishments efforts to stop donald trump by any means at any cost. More than half of all the money the gop elites are spending is for negative ads directed at trump. Nearly 70 million targeting. Some 23 million coming from three super pacs alone, the koch linked american future fund, the club for growth, and our principles pac. Doesnt it sound benign . Our principles. Sole mission is to destroy trump at any cost. The romney related our principles pac is turning to the delegate fight. Looking for antitrump delegates in the event of a contested convention, trump already battling to keep delegates in arizona and arkansas, louisiana, tennessee, virginia. Unprecedented effort and ground operations being bankrolled by billionaires like stan hubbard, paul single, the Ricketts Family as well. Speaking of the Ricketts Family, Todd Ricketts reportedly planning a meeting of Top Republican done nors new york city next week. Speaker paul ryan may be in attendance. Despite urging delegates today to, quote, count me out as he put it for the gop nomination. I believe the republican establishment and the elites are apoplectic as they watch their influence over president ial candidates and president ial politics just dwindling. So for now, what will the establishment and the elites do to win . And is there any possibility that theyve come to their senses and will work with trump to unify the Republican Party . I dont think so either. But, well see. And our quotation of the evening from none other than donald trump. Trump said a lot of the rich people right now are demonstrating his point. Were coming right back. Stay with us. Speaker ryans big money donors want him to run for president , but he says hes absolutely, positively not running, no way. Let me be clear, i do not want, nor will i accept, the nomination for our party. Lou ryan says hes out, so who will be the nominee . We take it up with former speaker Newt Gingrich here next. And this fisherman thinks hes caught the catfish of the day. Little does he know hes reeling in something a little bigger and a lot more dangerous. Every insurance policy has a number.

Democratic socialist Bernie Sanders is the best liked president ial candidate from either party, according to a new apjfk poll. Sanders at 48 . At the bottom of the list, irony, ted cruz and donald trump tied at 26 . Joining us bestselling author, 2012 president ial candidate, former speaker of the house Newt Gingrich. Newt, great to have you with us. Thanks, lou. Lou i want your reaction to the new polls out of new york. Putting trump at 60 . 54 . Your reaction. Well, look, the 60 poll is breathtaking, i was ready for trump to be at 52, 54. If the poll is accurate and he comes in next week at 60 or more and if cruz comes in a very distant third, i think that this is really a gamechanger in a big way. First of all at 60 trumps almost certainly going to get all 95 delegates and if you pick up 95 to zero that moves him ahead in the delegate race. Second its hard for cruz if hes in third place to argue hes the main alternative, and i think particularly if thats followed by pennsylvania, connecticut, rhode island, new jersey, all of which may look very similar, and by the time they get to indiana, they look like these kind of states. Something is happening out there thats i think very powerful. Lou two states, you mentioned one of them, the other california. If trump takes that, it looks like hes got a path to 1237, would you agree . Before the convention. Sure, look, if he comes out of new york at 950 he clearly will have a path to get to 1237. If he wins in california by a fairly significant margin, picking up twothirds of the delegates, you would have the number before you got to the convention, but remember theres about a six week period there where trump, whos a very good negotiator and made a lifetime of billions of dollars negotiating, if he goes in a fullcourt press with the undecided delegates, the marco rubio delegates, et cetera, he may well pick up 100 or 150 delegates between california and the convention because most republicans, not all of them, but most republicans think if hes that far ahead, its a lot better to get him to be the nominee than to somehow try to stop him at the last second and guarantee a huge floor fight in cleveland. The people who seem to want to have that fight who are funding the fight at this point, most of them are billionaires, using super pacs and every other means at their disposal, to stop trump. I mean, you are surprised at just the animated opposition on the part of these people to donald trump . No, im really not, trump violates almost all of their core characteristics. Hes an entrepreneur, not a corporate leader, not a finance guy in a traditional sense, he builds things, builds buildings, builds hotels, casinos, he builds golf courses. Hes a salesman, hes p. T. Barnum. He creates the apprentice as the number one tv show. If youre a slightly normal reticent billionaire watching this guy whos a show boat and think that doesnt feel right and realize hes not coming to you for permission. Hes not coming to you to be ambassador. He represents a totally new force in american politics. Hes raising fundamental questions about current policies and that rattles everybody in the traditional establishment, and thats part of why you see the resistance to him. Lou hes the fundamental disruptor, all of the candidates in this race, in either party, including Bernie Sanders, who is taking the Democratic Party in directions it didnt dream it was ready for, but trump is so fundamental in his disruption because he is talking about trade. Hes talking about immigration, hes talking about the health of the middle class, talking about the preemnence in republican ideology of the family, the working man and woman and the American Dream. Lets be very clear. Bernie sanders is not disruptive. Bernie sanders is a natural continuation of the obama socialism. You look at what obamas done in education, look at what hes done in health care, look again and again what hes doing, obama would be perfectly comfortable with sanders socialism because theyre indistinguishable. Lou right. The Disruptive Force in this election is donald trump. Partly because hes a businessman and he thinks like a businessman and he applies Business Analysis in a way which breaks up all the washington think tanks and all the folks who were in this policy stuff because a businessman has a different calculus of what works and what doesnt work than does either a lawyer or academic, so trump truly is the most Disruptive Force in modern times in american politics. I tell people, you have to go back and look at Andrew Jackson as a genuine disruptor, Theodore Roosevelts energy level and p. T. Barnum salesmanship. You begin to get the outline of a donald trump. Lou Newt Gingrich, thanks for being with us, look forward to talking with you soon. Thanks. Thanks. Newt gingrich. A louisiana fisherman thought he caught the big one. He thought he was reeling in a catfish as you see here. My gosh, thats a big [ bleep ]. Lou seems to be moving faster, and perhaps we can see the reason for that there. No, thats not a catfish. No, thats a very large alligator on the other side. He wisely began paddling. I think paddling like hell is the expression. I mean, he did better he maintained his poise pretty well. Give him credit. He was a bit ashamed to throw away the bait, the hook, the line, the sinker, everything. Nobody hurt, a great story to tell. Please stay tuned for the fox news special donald trump, the disruptor. Bret baier giving us an inside look at the trump president ial campaign talking with the trump family, his friends, supporters, the candidate himself airing right after the show, that begins at 8 00 p. M. Eastern right here on the fox business network. Up next, donald trump predicts the United States on the verge of recession. What i said is were going to go into a massive recession, but i also say, if im president , its not going to happen, because im going to straighten things out before it happens.

Dudley says because income mobility has remained unchanged. Folks have better ods of attaining the American Dream in denmark or canada. Well, joining us arthur laffer, former member of president reagans Economic Policy board. Dr. Laffer, good to have you with us. Thank you very much, lou, pleasure being with you. Lou were talking about a race, the likes of which none of us has seen in our lifetime, and donald trump is focusing on the middle class. People suddenly are aware. They felt it, but he is now articulating the fact that wages have been stagnant for nearly 40 years for the middle class, that our middle class is shrinking, not growing, over the course of the past 40 years, and that we have got to come to terms of the consequences of policies that have been disastrous like 40 years, 40 consecutive years, of trade deficits and 19 trillion in debt. Yeah, you know, remember, that the 40 years youre talking about in the trade deficit and the amount of federal deficit as well are consequences of bad policies. They arent the bad policies themselves. The bad policies are tack the rich, subsidize the people who dont have jobs. All of these things have done it. Have negative interest rates. The poor people spending themselves into wealth. You want a low rate, broadbased tax lou. Spending restraint, minimal regulations and let the free market solve it. Lou professor, if i may, if i may, im a free marketeer, too. I know you are. Lou after you watched 40 years of consecutive trade deficits without relief and devastating consequences, donald trump in rome, new york talking with a big rally there about the fact theyve lost half their manufacturing jobs over 25 years. It goes to every state in the union has similar stories. Its terrible yoot reality is our Public Policy. The two impulses that work in our body politic. One is libertarian philosophy which is basically on one level saying no one is responsible for anything, but most especially the government, and on the other level, free trade, laissezfaire which i dont have to make a conscious Public Policy choice because hands off and im not responsible. At some point we have to take responsibility and ownership, you and i know full well we cannot permit to continue for the middle class in this country. You are completely correct, lou. The only thing i would suggest is that we have been punishing manufacturing jobs in the u. S. We have the highest single Corporate Tax rate in the oecd, who wants to move production here . No one. We have state taxes that are very antiproduction, output employment. Other countries are bitter. I hope im not going over anyones heads. Lou only mine, only mine. I never go over your head. Youve got this wired. A and b, if you raise taxes and lower them in a, producers are going to move from b to a. Because of obama, because of the w, because of the taxes on our production. Lou for a middle class family, working man or woman in this country, hearing you talk or any one of us talk about taxes, lower taxes for corporate america. That doesnt diminish their pain, doesnt expand their future horizons and hopes or opportunities at all. Weve got to go beyond that, and one of the things that donald trump is doing is going beyond that. Hes saying pointblank in plain language, were going to stop the nonsense. And youve got to be cheering that. I do, i do cheer it. Lou do you endorse him . No, i dont endorse anyone. Lou ted cruz . I dont endorse ted cruz. I like both trump and cruz. I couldnt have pick it out better rates and the Training Ground theyre doing, this campaign is a tough campaign, and these guys are getting skilled. Theyll just beat the living tar out of hillary clinton. Well win 45 states. I dont think hes going to win the nomination, if he does hell beat the tar out of bernie, too. These guys are great. Lou with that, were taking your most recent economic forecast. 45 states, the republicans are going to take in the final election. Lou go big or go home. Well go big or go home. And trump is saying great things 15, Corporate Tax. Ted cruz, 16 flat tax on business. Lou sounds like trump won there, hes 1 better. Higher than personal income. Its a race to the neck and i love this race. Lou arthur laffer, love having you on. Thank you. Lou up next, speaker ryan ruling out a run for president. Do you feel relief . Weve heard his denials, however, before. Does paul ryan want to be speaker . No, he doesnt. Do you want to be speaker . No. Why not . I dont want to be speaker. Lou seems so credible there, didnt he . Can we believe ryan this time . Jedidiah bila and matt schlapp take up that very issue, and where is donald trump and where is ted cruz, and why arent they in the same place and what will be the result . Will be the result . Stay with us. This is my retirement. Retiring retired tires. And i never get tired of it. Are you entirely prepared to retire . Plan your never tiring retiring retired tires retirement with e trade.

Book now at choicehotels. Com lou joining us tonight. The head of the conservative movement america. Matt schlapp. And jedediah by. Lou lets start with paul ryan. I dont think he wants the job. There are people who want to beg paul ryan and mitt romney to run. People forget that paul ryan was already on a president ial ticket and was extremely disappointing. He went from this guy who was heavy talk to being an interests electric time weakling when he ran on that ticket, in my opinion. Get some of your dvrs and roll that tape back. Lou are you relieved or heartbroken ryan has withdrawn his name . I think it was the smart thing for him to withdraw his name. I think it would be absurd for my party to look beyond ted cruz or donald trump. Paul ryan said it would be absurd to not let someone who has run for the presidency to be a candidate. But i seemed to open the door to all 17. Lou that spent jim gilmore was back in the race. Dont forget jeb bush. Lou who could . Who would. These billionaire donors. Going after trump. Why cant they see that its cruz or its trump and this not anything in between . Its desperation. There are people who cannot stand donald trump to such an extent, they think somehow the more money they spend they will be able to get people away from him. Money or negative ads or anybody will take 8 who wins. Its tough. The one thing that has been missing from the last two president ial candidates is toughness. Its someone who is not only going debates the candidates. But tough policies from people around the world who lnlt going to deal with and wont take garbage. Thats why ted cruz is dig in his heels. Lou your thoughts on trump in particular. Is saying the party rigged the game. Hes say together antiestablishment crowds that ahe attracts by the tens of thousands and he would say millions. And he would be right in the cumulative. They are not going to have it with an establishment that insists on disenfranchising a million voters at a time as the Colorado Party did. What do you think . I think there are plenty of ways in which he should criticize this president ial nominating process. Its arcane. But by the same token, i think donald trump has done a good job of navigating these rules and winning a lot of primaries and caucuses. What his Campaign Needs to do, i know there is a rhetorical strategy of pushing back. They have to lock it down in new york and the northeastern states and take it to california. Lou let me ask you about 40b requiring 8 victories, it would make it between cruz and trump, period, no questions asked. Do you think lit and smart idea for them to preserve . In this scenario i dont like that rule. The romney rule. But it should be either trump or cruz. But they can change the rules at any point. Keep your eye on the ball. These are the guys that fought the hard fight. Bring them back into the circle, they are going to make the same mistakes. Lou matt schlapp, thank you for being with us. And jedediah bila. Our online poll said you dont think anyone should give a darn about speaker ryans agenda. Well be hes still got one. Thats it for us. Before we go,wo books we would like to recommend. Janine. Well see you next saturday same time they are bringing crime and they are rapist. Donald trump is rewriting the rule book. I dont know what i said. I would like to punch him in the face. They would be carried outa a stretcher. And people are punching back as well. Could he be the future president . I hope he can save my job. I have a hard time imagining that the establishment would have the
